Oh no! His rural wife is sweeter than a peach!

"How...how did you know I was here?"

She asked, speechless.

Everything piled up at once, and Lu Luozhi's brain hadn't processed it all yet; her mind felt completely blank.

"I had someone check the location of your cell phone signal."

Ying Yuchuan didn't hide anything from her and spoke honestly.

Can you do this?

She actually suspected that it was Huang Maozi who had told him, but it turned out that he had found out using high-tech methods.

She chuckled to herself.

The rich really do have different connections.

"You've contacted me twice, so this time it's my turn to contact you."

He loosened his grip on her slightly and looked down into her eyes.

"If I don't come soon, I'm afraid my wife will really run away. She's quite the runaway; she's restless and always hiding, making her impossible to find."

After saying that, he swayed unsteadily, frowned, and said with some discomfort, "I feel a little dizzy. Could I come in and sit down for a bit?"

His weakness wasn't feigned; his expression truly revealed his weakness, his face devoid of any color.

He no longer possessed the same confidence and charisma he had in the business world.

Lu Luozhi sighed, feeling somewhat helpless, but still helped him into the house.

"It's a simple place, there's not much here. Please sit on the sofa first, I'll go boil some hot water for you."

Sitting on the tattered sofa, Ying Yuchuan looked around the bungalow.

The simple, dilapidated interior of the house made him frown.

Has she been hiding here all along?

This place is so run-down, wouldn't it be better to stay in a hotel?

When he spotted the stall cart placed in the corner, he suddenly seemed to understand why she was there.

Don't tell me this is her usual base for setting up her stall!

In the small kitchen, Lu Luozhi filled an electric kettle with water.

His unexpected appearance left her with a complex and indescribable feeling.

Especially after he said so much, about their past, the origin of that engagement, and after knowing all this, seeing him again...

How should she face him?

However, it cannot be denied that when he said, "I'm sorry I'm late," she felt a little touched.

It turns out that people who care about you and have you in their hearts will come to you on their own, even if you don't actively seek them out.

Just like Huang Maozi.

She didn't say where she was, but he still found her.

The water was boiling. She came out of the kitchen and saw Ying Yuchuan lying on the sofa with one hand over his eyes. He looked like he was in real pain.

"You should go back to the hospital. You're not better yet."

She approached the sofa in a soft voice, bent down and half-squatted, and spoke to him with concern.

"I'll lie down for a while and recover."

He opened his eyes slightly, and his right hand precisely grasped hers, holding it firmly.

"Please don't send me away, okay?"

Finally, he commanded her in a somewhat forceful tone, "And you're not allowed to utter a single word that I don't like to hear."

She said with a hint of helplessness, "Your parents will worry about you."

"They will understand."

Not content with just holding her hand, he wanted to get closer to her.

His hand landed on her slender waist, and then he pulled her forcefully.

She let out a startled cry, and by the time Lu Luozhi realized what was happening, her upper body was already pressed against his chest.

She stared at him in astonishment with her bright eyes.

His hand then forcefully wrapped around her slender back, pressing her slightly closer to his chest, making her a little more intimate with him.

He smiled contentedly and then closed his eyes again.

Lu Luozhi tried to get up, bracing herself against his chest with both hands, and he groaned uncomfortably.

She dared not move.

Ugh.

If he were to run off like this to look for her, and Old Madam Ying found out, she would surely give him a severe scolding.

They'll definitely say something like, "You'd rather die than give up a woman's life."

He is his most beloved grandson.

She can't bear these charges.

This is why she felt conflicted when she saw him.

Her pride wouldn't allow her to continue enduring Madam Ying's insults.

She didn't want their family to continue arguing endlessly because of her and her brother.

It would be best to let her end it.

She had made a huge decision when she returned from the hospital that morning.

But to her surprise, he would come after her in this way.

She thought that if she disappeared and didn't appear in front of him, he would give up.

How could she bear to do this to him?
