The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead
Chapter 357 - 355: Looking Forward to Return

Chapter 357: Chapter 355: Looking Forward to Return

The Yan Family’s actions were quickly known by several parties.

Liu Cheng’s mother was the first to call his father, and finally, comfortingly said to the other end of the communication, "Dad, why don’t you come and stay with us for a while? Wherever you grow old is still growing old."

"Let’s wait for a while, I want to see these fools regretting their actions."

"Hehe... Okay, let me know when, and I’ll come home to enjoy the spectacle too."

After the father and daughter had agreed, they hung up the communication.

At this time, Liu Cheng also hung up the communication and angrily said to his Light Computer, "Shortsighted, sooner or later, you’ll regret it bitterly!"

Mr. Liu, seeing Liu Cheng’s demeanor, figured out what had happened.

"Rejected again!"

"Yes, a group of shortsighted people," Liu Cheng initially spoke with anger but soon cheerfully said, "That’s good too, I can help Mr. Xiao He choose two of the most reliable managers."

"That’s indeed true."

After thinking this, Liu Cheng’s mood greatly improved, and he continued to throw himself into the business of finding people.

By then, 72 hours had already passed.

Fu Yunhe was getting a bit anxious, not about the seedlings being sent on the Star Network, but about Nian Shutong.

It had been several days without any sign from her.

This time, Nian Shutong had left suddenly, and Fu Yunhe thought she might be looking for some materials to carve and make money.

But it was taking a bit too long.

"Xiao He, please contact Ms. Nian Shutong, Rubble doesn’t need money that desperately now, ask her not to overwork."

Rubble finally intercepted Fu Yunhe and found an opportunity to speak with him. Why did Rubble feel like Fu Yunhe was avoiding him?

Fu Yunhe was indeed avoiding, not just Rubble, but also Ha Ha, Dou Dou, and even Ji Sisi, Lin Mu, and Elder Hua.

Every day, each of them would ask countless times when Nian Shutong was coming back, where she went, and when she would return.

The key was that he himself had no answers, but had to pretend like he knew everything, misleading them, trying his best to keep everyone calm.

But three days had passed, and he really couldn’t hold out much longer!

This morning, as soon as he opened his eyes, right in front of him was an enlarged wolf face, sticking out its tongue waiting for him.

It turned out Ha Ha had transformed back into his wolf form and was squatting by his bed, just to ask about Nian Shutong.

At that moment, his heartbeat almost stopped with fright, and he still had to deal with Ha Ha; he truly wished he could dig two holes and hide in them.

Fu Yunhe, looking at Rubble in front of him, knew Rubble was worried, but it seemed Rubble didn’t quite understand his own feelings.

"I will tell her. Don’t worry, Nian Shutong is strong."

Rubble suddenly tilted his head slightly, one hand touching his heart.

"Rubble’s heart isn’t feeling well, Rubble is sick."

Fu Yunhe, seeing the confused Rubble, did not clarify, but instead persuaded him, "Why don’t you go for a medical check-up? You need to live well, always working for Nian Shutong."

Rubble seriously considered Fu Yunhe’s words and nodded in agreement.

"Mr. Xiao He is right, Rubble will go for a check-up, work for Ms. Nian Shutong for a lifetime."

Fu Yunhe, watching Rubble leave, finally resolved one issue.

"Uncle Xiao He!"

Great, another one came.

Fu Yunhe exercised his facial expressions, and by the time he turned around, a slight smile was already on his face.

"Hi, Dou Dou, finished with classes?"

Dou Dou walked over and sat on a rock, even patting the rock next to him, inviting Fu Yunhe to sit, "Uncle Xiao He, sit here."

Fu Yunhe had no choice but to sit down, waiting for Dou Dou to speak.

At that moment, Dou Dou, with her small hands supporting her chin, blinked her large eyes and stared at the ground.

"Uncle Xiao He, I can feel that my aunt is fine, but why hasn’t she come back yet? Dou Dou misses her."

Dou Dou’s words made Fu Yunhe urgently ask, "Can you really feel that your Aunt Nian Shutong is alright?"

"Eh?" Dou Dou tilted his head, looking up at Fu Yunhe.

His eyes full of disbelief, he was about to shout when Fu Yunhe’s hand covered his mouth.

"Don’t shout! Shouting will only cause chaos."

"Your aunt being okay is good, isn’t it?"

Dou Dou nodded with his mouth covered, and Fu Yunhe spoke again.

"You don’t want things to get chaotic here at the small wooden house, right?"

Dou Dou nodded again.

"Your aunt told me she had something to do and wasn’t sure when she’d return, but she is definitely fine. We need to help keep her home safe, right?"

Dou Dou nodded for the third time.

"So, can you not shout, please?"

Dou Dou nodded for the fourth time.

Fu Yunhe checked again and finally let go of Dou Dou’s mouth.

Dou Dou first opened his mouth, breathing deeply, and after catching his breath, he stood up.

"Uncle Xiao He, Dou Dou will help you guard my aunt’s home."

"Good, thank you."

Fu Yunhe reached out to pat Dou Dou’s head, but Dou Dou dodged.

"No, only my aunt can do that."

After saying this, Dou Dou added, "Mom can too, but no one else."

"Alright, alright! I won’t touch!"

Dou Dou walked away.

Fu Yunhe wasn’t sure whether he should believe Dou Dou. He didn’t know what great destiny looked like, but it seemed like Nian Shutong really believed in it.

Now, he could only hope, Nian Shutong was alright.

Fu Yunhe looked around, saw no one, and quickly slipped away.

Lin Mu and Ji Sisi rushed over but couldn’t find him.

"Ah, when exactly will Mr. Nian come back?"

Ji Sisi muttered and went back to the control room.

Lin Mu looked at the forest across and wondered whether he should go look for her.

What exactly was it that made Nian Shutong leave as soon as she had returned?

Could it be related to them? This was Lin Mu’s primary concern.

Even though it had only been three days, certainly no one who had arrived wanted to leave.

In those three days, everyone had settled in.

Fences were built, some families had even drawn and colored their houses.

Every stroke, every detail, was a token of their liking and settling here.

Fu Yunhe had distributed food to every family, and vegetables could be picked up the same day.

Everyone began learning how to cook, though the taste needed improvement, they truly had a home now—a place of their own where they could eat whatever they wanted.

And today, Wang Fu had also assigned tasks to each household; complete them and you’d get Star Coins every month, and maybe even a bonus if you did more.

Everyone was full of drive and enthusiasm.

If Nian Shutong really ran into trouble because of them, Lin Mu would find it hard to forgive himself.

Please, you must come back safely.
