Chapter 110: Chapter 110 Mrs. Xiao’s Identity Begins to Be Exposed (6)

Is he here?

"Is everyone all right?" Zhan Dapeng asked through the door.

"We’re fine, just hungry and cold—" Tang Qingzhong sneezed. It might have been because someone had come to rescue them that he relaxed and couldn’t fend off the cold.

Xiao Yebai and Zhan Dapeng’s hearts pounded to the extreme upon hearing this. If Tang Qingzhong, a chubby man, had caught a cold, what about the frail Gu Nuan?

"Step back, we can’t pry this door open, we’re going to get an ax to break it down," Zhan Dapeng shouted through the door.

So, Tang Qingzhong and Gu Nuan stepped back a few paces. Soon, they heard a sound like a cutting machine cutting through a lock.

With a loud bang, the metal door was kicked open.

Tang Qingzhong, thinking it was Zhan Dapeng and about to call for Director Zhan, suddenly realized something was off. The first figure rushing in looked unfamiliar, thinner than Zhan Dapeng—it was a man!

In a moment of urgency, fearing a change of events, Tang Qingzhong swiftly protected Gu Nuan with his arm and blocked the man: "Who are you?"

Xiao Yebai blurted out in a rush, "I am her husband—"

Tang Qingzhong’s mind roared as if it had been steamrolled. He turned to Gu Nuan and asked, "Are you married?"

This newcomer was actually married? It was news to him.

Gu Nuan couldn’t attend to Tang Qingzhong’s shock; her heart had surged the moment she saw him, as if a gust of wind had swept through her chest.

Light as air, some surprise mixed with joy, or was it astonishment that took over everything?

As Xiao Yebai pushed Tang Qingzhong aside, Tang Qingzhong wanted to follow up with more questions, but Zhan Dapeng hastily grabbed him and whispered in his ear, "Don’t ask, just remember this matter and keep it a secret at all costs, don’t tell anyone, understand?"

Tang Qingzhong was momentarily stunned.

The rooftop was very dark, and he couldn’t see Xiao Yebai’s features clearly. However, given that he was accompanied by Zhan Dapeng, his status was undoubtedly not low.

Gu Nuan was experiencing emotional ups and downs, dazed, when suddenly she felt darkness over her head as he draped a piece of clothing over her.

Startled, she was about to react when his voice came close to her ear on the side she could hear and said, "You don’t want people outside to see you, do you?"

And with that, Gu Nuan did not move.

Their marital relationship was, for the time being, a secret to many people.

Through the clothing, he encircled her arm and then clasped her waist.

In an instant, she was entirely enveloped in his embrace.

The chilly winds whirling around were completely blocked out by him, leaving only his chest, warm as a furnace, pressed against her body.

Embarrassed, ill at ease.

They were a fake couple, not a real one.

Gu Nuan’s mind was suddenly flooded with a jumbled thread of thoughts, disoriented and bewildered. She didn’t know if the confusion and dizziness were because he was holding her too tightly, almost suffocating in his hold.

Yet as Xiao Yebai hugged her, he was met with a wave of fragrance rushing to his nostrils.

The subtle, lemony scent coming from her was alluringly sweet and sour, wrapping around her lean yet delicate frame, making her bony structure seem baby-soft against the muscles of his body.

His palm around her waist immediately felt her slight trembling and shivering, seemingly untouched, as if no one had ever laid a hand on her.

Startled, Xiao Yebai couldn’t help but ask, "Did he never even hug you before?"

His words forcefully entered Gu Nuan’s ears, and she suddenly became lucid in his embrace, struggling slightly: "I can walk by myself—"
