The Road to Doting Wife

Chapter 41
In the end, Ah Ju couldn't hold on.

This day I was frightened, and later I was wary of the man who had been struggling until midnight. Once I closed my eyes, I was completely tired and fell into a drowsy sleep.

There is no warm kang in the cave, and the mountain wind with the moisture of the forest is pouring in outside. Ah Ju, who is sleeping, is cold. She leans into the arms of the warm man next to her without knowing it. She thinks he is holding her. Her arm was not warm enough, so she took the initiative to hug him, and her head, which was resting on his other arm, moved closer to the man's side, and finally buried it in the socket of his shoulder, rubbed against it, and gradually fell asleep again.

Zhao Chen was woken up by her.

He was already alert, but he fell into a light sleep with her in his arms tonight, almost as soon as she raised her hand, he opened his eyes.

He didn't dare to move, he wanted to see what she was going to do curiously and nervously, he thought she was going to sneak away, but he didn't expect her to...

It looks like the white-haired poodle that I raised when I was a child, and it keeps getting into his arms. If it bites his face twice, it will be even more similar.

Zhao Chen's heart was as soft as water, and his chest was a little dry.

She was still asleep, and she might have felt the strangeness in her sleep, so she opened her mouth slightly.

Zhao Chen was shocked that he could hold back and didn't make any further moves.

Compared with frightening her into crying, he would rather enjoy such a small taste of forbearance.

But how to calm down?
The girl who guarded him against him like a wolf and refused to touch him easily was in his arms at the moment, and he was already very gentleman if he could bear it.

Zhao Chen laughed at himself, she called him a beast, yet he still wanted to be a gentleman.

Looking down at the sleeping girl, Zhao Chen closed his eyes and waited for her to wake up.

Before it was bright outside, Ah Ju woke up, hungry.I didn't eat lunch or dinner yesterday, and my stomach hurts.

Just after waking up, her consciousness was not very clear, Ah Ju opened her eyes in a daze, and saw the man's chin.She blinked, closed and opened again, the man's chin, neck, and chest were still in front of her eyes...

The events of last night came to mind instantly.

Aju's first thought was to get up and leave him, but just as she moved, the man muttered indistinctly, and pulled her back into his arms, and Aju was also shocked to find that his hands were on the other person's body , The posture of the two people is very intimate.

Even if it's the same thing, there is a difference between daytime and nighttime. At nighttime, you can't see anything, so it's easy to compromise, but now, Ah Ju can't bear being held in a man's arms like this.

She pushed him hard, but the man didn't move at all. Ah Ju didn't have the patience to talk to him, so he called out: "Master Zhao, it's dawn, let's go down the mountain!"

Zhao Chen finally opened his eyes, lowered his head, looked at her with a pair of phoenix eyes full of sleepiness, closed and opened his eyelids, his eyes were blank and confused.

Ah Ju couldn't help but look away.

This man is undoubtedly handsome, so handsome that Ah Ju admits that he is prettier than his father.The few times they met before, she was wary of him and didn't dare to take a second look at him. He was also threatening in her eyes, but the him who just woke up in front of her had no hostility in his eyes and was as obedient as a child.

"you……"

As soon as she spoke, the man suddenly let go of her and sat up, her voice hoarse: "What time is it now?"

Ah Ju got up quickly, walked down from the hay, turned her back to him and said, "I don't know, but it's already dawn, let's go down the mountain."

Zhao Chen looked at her back, when the mountain wind blew in, a strand of long hair around her ear rose and fell, revealing her thin white earlobe, which was very pretty.

He slowly put on his robe: "There is a lot of grass in the mountains. At this time, your clothes and shoes will be wet with dew when you go down the mountain. Let's go after the sun comes out."

"I'm not afraid of the dew, I just want to go back quickly." Hearing that he was getting dressed, Ah Ju breathed a sigh of relief and whispered.

Zhao Chen smiled, leaning against the mountain wall and said: "Then you go, I have done my utmost to look for you last night, there is no need to work hard with you now. But don't blame me for not reminding you, this place is dozens of miles away from your home. Li roads, deep mountains and wild forests, tigers have never been heard of, but wolves have always appeared, you are not afraid of getting lost or being eaten by wolves, even if you go down the mountain alone."

Ah Ju's face turned pale, and he walked out of the cave quickly, only to see the mountains full of ancient trees, the weeds on the ground were higher than his knees, and there was no way to go.

The surroundings were so quiet that Ah Ju flinched.

She didn't dare to go down the mountain by herself. Apart from what Zhao Chen said, she also knew that the villain's accomplice would come over tomorrow at the latest. What if she met him when she went down the mountain and was caught again?
She can only rely on this man.

Did he also know this, so he deliberately delayed the time to go down the mountain?

Ah Ju burst into tears.She didn't want to beg him, didn't want to show weakness to him, but she didn't know the way and dared not go by herself, if she didn't go, even if she didn't turn around and talk to Zhao Chen, she made it clear that she had to rely on him, would he be proud or despised? She obviously hates him but still has to ask for his protection?

Ah Ju cried silently.How much she wished that she was a man, a man, at least she didn't have to worry about accomplices of wicked people.

Her shoulders trembled slightly, and she cried when she saw it.Knowing that she was in trouble and his skin was thin, Zhao Chen called her: "Come in first, I promise you, I will follow you down the mountain as soon as the sun comes out, I would rather not sleep than come to save you, just be a good person to the end, send Buddha sent west."

Ah Ju's tears flowed even more fiercely.

At least for this moment, Ah Ju was very grateful to him.

If Zhao Chen doesn't speak, she has only two choices, one is to leave by herself, but Ah Ju understands that she dare not leave, if she really leaves, she is betting that she will follow if Zhao Chen is not at ease, Ah Ju doesn't like this Man, she doesn't want to take advantage of some of his feelings for her.If you don't leave, staying here is to seek his protection. Zhao Chen can watch her jokes without saying a word, but he opened his mouth and gave her the steps.

Ah Ju didn't know if Zhao Chen saw her embarrassment, and she didn't want to delve into it, so she walked back with her head down, and thanked him from a distance.

Zhao Chen followed her all the time: "Didn't sleep well last night? Come and sit down, don't worry, I won't touch you anymore."

Ah Ju's body was a little weak, but she still shook her head: "No, I'm not tired..." Just after finishing speaking, her stomach rumbled again, Ah Ju was extremely embarrassed, turned sideways, and clutched her stomach hard.

Zhao Chen already knew that she was hungry, so he got up and walked to her side: "When I came here yesterday, I passed a lake, I'm going to catch two fish, you wait here, don't wander around." After speaking, he lifted his foot and was about to set off.

Ah Ju moved her hand, resisting the urge to tug on his sleeve, and only asked nervously when he turned around: "How far is it from here to you?"

Zhao Chen thought for a while, "It's not too far, it's just that the mountain road is difficult to walk, and it will take half an hour at the earliest for me to come back. Why, don't you dare to be alone?"

Ah Ju bowed her head in silence, clutching her cuffs restlessly.She really didn't dare, Zhao Chen didn't say, but she knew that the bodies of those two people were nearby...

Zhao Chen looked at her silently, and he could see that he wanted to put her in his arms and tell her that she didn't have to be afraid of anything, that she could lean on him without any scruples, but in the end he just said helplessly: "Forget it, it's up to you Unkempt, come with me, we'll build a fire over there, and go straight down the mountain after eating, how about it? Are you going?"

"...Go." Ah Ju lowered her head and replied, blushing because of embarrassment.

Zhao Chen clenched his hands, raised his feet and walked forward, finally couldn't help it when he walked out of the cave, turned back to her, looked down at her: "Ah Ju, I have bullied you many times, but I didn't force you, did I? I don’t think I’m a heinous person. Think again, marry me? I’ll really treat you well.” She couldn’t escape his grasp, but he still hoped that she would marry happily. Resist less.

Ah Ju looked at his boots.

Without anger or coercion, this was the first time that Zhao Chen calmly and even gently begged her to marry him.

Ah Ju's intentions have not changed, but his attitude is kind, and she can't refuse as coldly as before, "Young Master Zhao loves you very much, but we are really not suitable."

Zhao Chen didn't bother anymore, went to the side and broke two three-finger-thick branches, handed one to Ah Ju, and held the other by himself. After tidying up a bit, he set off.

Ah Ju obediently followed behind him, her eyes glanced at the man in front of her several times.

He was tall and tall, wearing a gray robe with the hem pinned to his waist, revealing the white trousers underneath, with the trouser legs tucked into black boots, neat and capable.She used to avoid him like a snake and scorpion, but now he is her reliance... Feeling a little complicated, Ah Ju shook her head and stopped thinking about it.

As she walked, Ah Ju found that her skirt was really wet, and the toes of her shoes were also wet and covered with mud.

Ah Ju is a farm child, and she was naughty and crazy when she was a child. Although she has never been so embarrassing when she grew up, she has no right to complain about this situation. She can only go home alive, and she can only be satisfied.Ah Ju raised her head, and was surprised that Zhao Chen had stopped at some point, standing in front, frowning at her clothes.

Aju was a little uncomfortable, pursed her lips, and said in a low voice: "Master Zhao, let's go." If it was her father, she could still say nothing out of the way, but now that he didn't say anything, Aju could only pretend that he didn't know what he was seeing. care.

Because he cared, he complained that the other party didn't listen to persuasion, Ah Ju understood.

Zhao Chen walked towards her: "I heard from my mother that you women can't catch cold, right?"

Ah Ju was stunned, this, how would she answer this?She has never told any man about this kind of thing, besides, so what?
"It's okay, Mr. Zhao... Ah, what are you doing, let me go!" Suddenly being hugged by the man who was approaching quickly, Ah Ju struggled in shock.

Zhao Chen supported her shoulder with one hand and her leg with the other, looked at the wet embroidered shoes under the hem of the skirt, and suddenly changed the person from throwing it up to carrying it.After the dizzy turn, Ah Ju hung her head back and patted him on the shoulder vigorously, begging him to let her go down.Zhao Chen turned a deaf ear to it, and took off her rusty shoes, touched her socks, and patted the girl's thigh with the upper after making sure they were not wet: "Be honest, although you don't want to marry me, I don't want you to be here I’m suffering in front of you, I’ll help you on this journey first, and then you’ll dry your shoes before walking on your own.”

With such a posture, Ah Ju blushed like a cloud, and pushed his shoulder to refuse: "You don't need your help, you let me down quickly, I can walk by myself!"

Zhao Chen ignored her and strode forward directly. Ah Ju struggled unwillingly, Zhao Chen patted her again, and leaned up a little bit, intentionally or unintentionally: "Don't move, you broke my wounds away .Do you think I am willing to do this? You are so heavy, I don’t want to carry it all the time, and I will let you down naturally when I get to the place.”
