Chapter 282: Chapter 278 I Want to be Called Chang An!【1100+ Votes】
——————
Zhang Shanni let go of her worries and became intimate with her husband before falling into a deep sleep.
Being pregnant, and having focused her spiritual power on her baby in the last few days, she’s been consuming a lot of energy, usually trying not to disperse her Spiritual Body.
At noon, she even used her spiritual power to instantly transfer medicine to her husband. When spiritual power materializes, the energy consumed is several dozen times more than usual.
Tonight, because she was worried about Xie Jingchen’s attitude, she was physically tired and mentally anxious, so she couldn’t sleep.
Now that the crisis was over, it only took a few moments for her to fall into a sound sleep, not even noticing when her man had left.
Xie Jingchen originally took advantage of the night, while everyone had their tasks, to drive the temporarily assigned Rongpu Car to visit his wife at home.
Knowing she was alright, and also having her Energy Water, he wasn’t in the mood to sleep, just wanting to quickly finish his task so he could return to his wife’s side.
Just like his wife said, she was already six months pregnant, and the time left for him was indeed very short. He planned to finish the job early now that he had leads and return home to keep his wife and child warm.
While things were peaceful for Zhang Shanni, Lin Zhaodi, who was temporarily trapped under a bridge, could hardly tolerate this life anymore!
To avoid drawing attention, the old man who didn’t want trouble from the three thugs any longer fought another group nearby and took over the territory of those vile men.
Don’t think he was nearly forty years old; because these past few years he had been forced to do hard labor in prison, his physical abilities weren’t bad.
Prison is a harsh reality.
And all Lin Zhaodi felt was the ’unpredictability of life,’ these words wounded her deeply!
Just before the new year, she was still an ordinary farmwife, but now she could only scrounge for food and drink with a prisoner. And the three men before wanted to assault her, but within days, they disappeared.
According to the old man, they must have stirred up trouble and were killed...
Lin Zhaodi was truly frightened by these words, her current life really embodying the saying ’not knowing what tomorrow holds’!
Fortunately, this man had money hidden on him. Although they lived in poor conditions, they were not starved. After living under the bridge for half a month, Lin Zhaodi secretly observed that as long as she stayed quiet, no one could tell where she was from.
Even because she had become so thin, her appearance changed a lot, she wasn’t afraid of being recognized even by acquaintances.
With the unexpected fortune of those three men, their living condition improved, and the man brought back some substances to apply on her face and body daily.
Gradually, Lin Zhaodi’s complexion improved, wrinkles faded, and her once decent base allowed her skin to soon become smooth.
But even then, Lin Zhaodi still hid in her ’home’ and dared not step out easily.
The experience of the first day had startled Lin Zhaodi deeply. Before, when she looked the way she did, she still attracted attention; now, with her significantly more attractive appearance, she was like a living target! ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
Especially since she had clearly felt, the old man in the same boat’s gaze becoming more and more inappropriate!
But the two had lived together for almost a month now, and Lin Zhaodi had not heard him introduce himself.
The two of them called each other "hey" and rarely communicated. Other than eating together and cuddling to sleep, their interactions were scarcely better than strangers.
Lin Zhaodi’s expression immensely satisfied the old man’s ego. Seeing her sensible enough to avoid going out, his gaze towards her softened even more.
Though their environment under the bridge was poor, the place occupied by those three men was the best to hide during winter, and huddling together to sleep wasn’t as bone-chilling.
The old man wouldn’t think he was capable enough to be tracked and hunted down in the Rong District with this old woman!
"What... did you say this is the Rong District?" Lin Zhaodi was stunned for a moment, grabbing the old man anxiously and asking.
Although the two had been living together for half a month and even cuddled each other for warmth daily, it was the first time Lin Zhaodi actively threw herself into the old man’s arms.
"What, feeling the need for a man?" The old man had not touched a woman for a long time, seeing the healthy color returning to this woman’s body; he was eager.
But this woman was always on guard against him, making ugly expressions to disgust him; he wasn’t the type to force anyone.
In truth, this woman hadn’t become desperate enough for him to ’force’ her yet.
"No, not that, I just wanted to ask you. Is this the X Rong District?"
Lin Zhaodi anxiously asked him, completely ignoring the fact that she was lying on top of him.
At this moment, all she wanted to know was the answer.
"What does it matter whether it is or isn’t?" The old man conveniently locked her in his embrace, not even forty years old yet.
Though this woman’s skin was normal now, she had deliberately smeared mud on her face, making her look dirty and filthy; the old man simply closed his eyes—
"What are you doing?! Stop!" Lin Zhaodi’s heart skipped a beat, trying to jump up and away from his body.
But her reaction was too late, or perhaps she hadn’t realized that her guard against him had already dropped to its lowest.
"Don’t act like a virtuous woman ... do you think you can go back?"
The old man scoffed softly, laughing as he retorted.
Lin Zhaodi was stunned. Could she still return to that home?
In reality, she knew she could never return. She had birthed three daughters and one son, and after the incident, not one child had come to see her...
While she was scared and afraid at the police station until she was swiftly sentenced and jailed, not a single person came... neither her family nor her husband and children!
She could not go back...
Lin Zhaodi felt utterly disheartened...
She had no home, no husband, no children left. Now, all she had was an old man in the same boat protecting her!
"What... is your name?" she asked hoarsely as her last line of defense was stripped away.
"Name?" The old man paused his movements, nodding as he continued his actions, his hurried breath landing on her, "Right, we should choose a new name... well, my original last name is Yang, let’s go with Yang Xindong... and you?"
"Chang... An," Lin Zhaodi silently wept, gritting her teeth and enduring, "I hope to be called Chang An!"
The surname Chang was that of her deceased mother, and An... was her greatest hope for the future.
