Temporary Husband: The Pregnant Wife Runs Away

Chapter 9: Why Didn’t You Ask

The human wall was gone, and Tang Xin was able to take in fresh air. However, she was still pushed to the ground by the rough people. Rows of marching feet went past in front of her, and she saw behind her the bodyguards who were running over to protect their boss.

With their hands and feet clasped together, they formed two rows of strong protective shields that separated the rioting crowd, creating a road that was wide enough for the car to pass.

The car passed slowly in front of her eyes. She looked up and thought that she couldn’t see what was inside, but the window slowly dropped down, exposing the unforgettably handsome face and those chilling black eyes. They were looking at her coldly, observing the predicament she was in.

As soon as the car went past, the human wall immediately changed into a straight line, blocking the entrance and also blocking her on the outside.

Tang Xin curled her lip slightly and stood up bravely. She patted her dirty dress and picked up her bag before walking to a cleaner place at the side to sit down, and then waited quietly for the road to clear.

She was so quiet, as if nothing had happened, like she had just accidentally fallen down.

There was a surveillance camera at the intersection of the private road. As she didn’t belong to Star Garden, she wasn’t eligible for protection.

“Step aside!”

Suddenly, a strong and powerful voice ordered the human wall to move away, and a tall figure came down from the car.

The people who were there to demand an explanation got more agitated, but no one was able to get close to him with the group of the world’s most elite bodyguards around.

A pair of shiny leather shoes stood in front of Tang Xin as Li Yunshen looked down at her nonchalantly. The damn quietness gave him thoughts of destruction.

“Why didn’t you ask for help just now?”

The driver had deliberately slowed down the car, and she had neither shown joy nor asked for help when her eyes had met his, letting him leave without any emotions, like she was watching any other of the innumerable cars passing by on the road.

At this moment, he couldn’t see any grievances in her!

Tang Xin suddenly understood the reason for his return.

 “… I forgot.”

From the day she had begged not to be put in the mental hospital, and when she had cried and begged to be allowed to leave, she had forgotten how to ask for help.

Whoever said that forgetting wasn’t a good medicine for despair?

His deep eyes flickered inexplicably, and the two words that clearly sounded very awkward were so indifferent coming from her mouth, as if she was just saying, “the weather is fine today”.

This was contrary to what he wanted!

“Now that you have the opportunity again, what should you do?” He eagerly wanted to know.

Tang Xin looked at him timidly and glanced at the rioting crowd behind him before finally choosing to bury her head in her knees. “They will eventually go away.”

“It’s going to be dark soon.” Her answer wasn’t what he wanted.

Tang Xin looked up at the darkening sky and glanced at him again. She was a little hesitant this time, but…

“… it’s okay.” She bit her lip immediately after speaking, afraid that she would give away the fear in her heart.

Other than the surrounding lush woods and the desolate hill, she was also facing a group of rioting men. No one would believe her if she said that she wasn’t scared.

But, it didn’t matter. Having gone through the deepest fears, this was no big deal to her.

“Being stubborn won’t do you any good,” he snorted.

“I… I’m not being stubborn. It’s just that I have come to terms with reality better than most people,” she shook her head as she drew circles on the ground with a tree branch.

Actually, it wasn’t difficult to talk to him as long as she didn’t look at his cold eyes.

“I want to know what the reality defined by you is.”
