Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 692 - 685: Can’t Wait Any Longer

The rain had been falling continuously for two days, stopping briefly before starting again soon after.

Watching the endless downpour outside, Leng Yichen was anxious and restless; he finally couldn’t wait any longer and decided to go up the mountain no matter what.

"Where are you going?" Xiao Qiao quickly stood up while boiling water. "It’s still raining outside."

"I’m going up the mountain." Leng Yichen lifted his legs to head outside, and Wang Hai followed closely behind.

Seeing this, Xiao Qiao hurriedly ran out to stop Leng Yichen, "I’ve told you countless times, you can’t go up the mountain now, you’ll end up dying there!"

Leng Yichen was resolute; he couldn’t wait any more. Was he supposed to wait as long as the rain continued for a day? He could wait, but Bai Yiran couldn’t. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Get out of the way!" Leng Yichen looked icily at Xiao Qiao blocking his path.

Xiao Qiao’s body shivered; she had never seen someone with such a terrifying look in their eyes. "I know you are anxious to find your wife, although I don’t know exactly what happened, I understand how you feel." Xiao Qiao bit her lip and continued, "Please believe me, you can’t go up the mountain right now. My dad... My dad went up the mountain on a rainy day and the mountain path was too slippery, he fell into the ravine and died..."

Tears welled up in Xiao Qiao’s eyes. "We’ve met by fate, so regardless of your urgency, you definitely can’t go up the mountain before the sun comes out."

Wang Hai looked at Xiao Qiao’s tearful eyes sympathetically; she truly was doing it for their good. He helplessly patted Leng Yichen’s shoulder, "Boss, maybe we should wait a bit longer."

"No! I can’t wait! We have to go up the mountain today!" They’ve already been delayed two days by this damn weather, and during these two days Bai Yiran’s situation was unknown. Just thinking of Bai Yiran in Wu Chengzu’s and Yao Zhiqing’s hands made Leng Yichen’s heart ache unbearably.

"Alright." Seeing Leng Yichen’s anxious demeanor, Xiao Qiao bit her lip, "I’ll take you up the mountain."

Upon hearing Xiao Qiao’s reply, Leng Yichen thanked her solemnly.

Hearing Leng Yichen’s magnetic thank you, combined with his handsome face, Xiao Qiao’s face flushed red unexpectedly, she quickly lowered her head, "No need to thank me, I’m getting paid."

And so, the three of them went up the mountain.

Xiao Qiao was right, the mountain path was especially hard to traverse in the rain, and it was easy to slip. Furthermore, the soil on the mountain was soaked and flushed by the rain; a slip could lead your foot getting stuck in the mud.

Xiao Qiao struggled to walk ahead, using a wooden stick for support, and pointed towards the direction in front, "It was at the fork up ahead where I saw those two people. I just glanced and didn’t pay attention to where they went."

Leng Yichen glanced at the distant fork ahead, his expression darkening.

The path became increasingly difficult to walk; the three of them struggled forward.

Just as Xiao Qiao was about to take a hard step forward, her foot suddenly slipped, and she toppled sideways towards the ravine.

"Ah!" Xiao Qiao screamed in fear.

Leng Yichen, quick-eyed and swift, grabbed Xiao Qiao around her waist and pulled her back. Due to inertia, Xiao Qiao’s body slammed into Leng Yichen’s embrace, her forehead resting against his solid and sturdy chest, she met his strong and powerful arms.

Suddenly, Xiao Qiao’s heart started pounding rapidly. She looked up to see Leng Yichen’s sharp and well-defined chin and his seductive lips.

Xiao Qiao couldn’t help but swallow, her gaze becoming a bit dazed.

After steadying, Leng Yichen released Xiao Qiao. "Are you alright?"

Leng Yichen’s cool, aloof voice brought Xiao Qiao back to reality. Stared at the exquisite man before her, she absentmindedly shook her head, "I’m fine..."
