Reborn As Super Heiress-Chapter 1808 - 1711: Understanding You

"Hey hey hey, I say, you two have had enough of this. Is it really okay to torture us single folks like this?"

No one knew how much time had passed before Huo Sining heard a discordant voice beside her. Her heart trembled, and she suddenly looked up to see two familiar faces looking at her and Gu Xu with ambiguity.

"Brother Ouyang, Brother Qin Tian, why are you here too?"

Huo Sining was both shocked and delighted. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at the two people and raised her voice to ask.

Ouyang Jun sneered, "If we hadn’t come, who knows what crazy thing your Xu Zi might have done. You wouldn’t know, yesterday when he heard about the earthquake in Meishan and the possibility that you might be in trouble, Xu Zi was almost beside himself. For the last ten-plus hours, he’s been frantically searching for you, not sleeping a wink and not even taking a sip of water. You escaped danger only to busy yourself with rescuing people. If he hadn’t found you, I’m afraid he’d be the one meeting Yama first!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Sining was greatly shocked. She looked up and indeed found Gu Xu pale-faced, lips cracked, obviously having not eaten or drunk for an entire day.

She was instantly furious, opened her mouth, and scolded Gu Xu:

"Are you stupid? Not eating or drinking, you think you’re made of iron? Even if you’re looking for me, you can’t just hold on like this. I’m telling you, I’m perfectly fine. If you drop dead, I’ll just find someone else to marry!"

Despite her scolding words, Huo Sining quickly turned around to rummage through her backpack (Space), pulled out a vegetable sandwich and juice that Gu Xu likes, handed them to him, and forcibly dragged him back into the car:

"You hurry and eat, then sleep. I’m busy here, don’t hold me back!"

"Uh..."

Ouyang Jun and Qin Tian couldn’t help but exchange a glance, neither had expected the scene to be like this when these two met. They thought Huo Sining would throw herself into Gu Xu’s arms, cry loudly, then the two would act all lovey-dovey, and finally, the husband and wife would return home together.

Who would have thought Xu Zi would come looking desperately, only to be stifled by his sister-in-law’s words "don’t hold me back."

Seeing Gu Xu’s face darken, both of them felt deep sympathy for him. Truly, marrying a fierce wife doesn’t make for an easy life.

Ouyang Jun suddenly thought of Song Chaoying from Huo Sining’s behavior and his heart tightened. He could vaguely foresee what his future marriage would be like, most likely, not any better off than these two.

Beside him, Qin Tian couldn’t hold back and shrugged while laughing secretly. He looked at Gu Xu, then at Ouyang Jun, clicked his tongue, and sighed:

"Indeed, I am wise. Look at you, Xu Zi, and that coward Song Hui, what kind of taste do you have in women? Each of your wives is fiercer than the last. Now you know the misery, right?"

"From you two, I’ve learned a lesson. I’ll never find such a fierce wife. I’ll let my mom set me up with a girl who is gentle, petite, and easy to push over—a soft girl, definitely not following in your footsteps!"

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Jun suddenly thought of the time at the food stall when Zhang Shuang effortlessly knocked Song Hui to the ground so he couldn’t get up. His body trembled involuntarily, and a twitch tugged at his mouth.

Inwardly, he was filled with relief, secretly thinking: No matter how fierce Song Chaoying may be, she’s not as fierce as Song Hui’s wife’s brute strength. That Zhang girl is the real deal, even close combat isn’t a match!

Ouyang Jun laughed at himself for his short-sightedness inside, just like Ah Q comforting himself. On the other side, Gu Xu quietly looked at his wife, somewhat gloomy, and said, "Wife, why do I feel like you’re doing so well here, not missing me at all?"

The voice was full of grievance, making Huo Sining pause in her movement. Thinking about how this guy did everything he could to find her in such chaos and danger, Huo Sining couldn’t help but soften. She raised her head and looked at Gu Xu seriously.

"I miss you, there’s not a moment I don’t think of you. When the incident happened, I didn’t want to linger here even a second longer, just to see you, to hide behind you, free from thinking or seeing anything, just to live my peaceful life."

"But Gu Xu, you know, that’s impossible. When I saw the building collapse right in front of me, witnessing those people with flesh and blood like me buried beneath the rubble, with cries that were answered neither by heaven nor earth, I shared their despair, so I couldn’t."

"I can’t stand by and do nothing, can’t let those people die in despair. I have the ability to save them, so I can’t shrink away at such a crucial moment. Otherwise, I’d never find peace for my conscience, carrying this burden of guilt for life!"

Gu Xu had long known what kind of person his wife was, but at this moment, he truly felt the soul-stirring impact this woman brought to him. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

After a while, he suddenly laughed, "What, did you think I came here to take you away?"

Huo Sining was taken aback and instinctively gave Gu Xu a questioning look: Isn’t it?

Ouyang Jun and Qin Tian couldn’t help but interject, "Sister-in-law, if you really think that, then you’ve misunderstood us, underestimating us all!"

"We did come to find you initially, but after entering the disaster area and seeing the situation here, we never considered leaving. In fact, after entering the disaster area yesterday, we joined the rescue team. Xu Zi here has saved quite a few people already!"

"Moreover, he’s mobilized Falcon, and his people have arrived in the disaster area this morning. They’re estimated to be joining us soon."

Upon hearing this explanation, Huo Sining suddenly widened her eyes and looked at them joyfully, "Really?"

Ouyang Jun laughed, "Is this the kind of thing you can fake? We’ve contacted Boss Tang at Shengtang, purchased a batch of supplies to send over for emergencies. Hasn’t your Beauty Fund already started up? Xu Zi has also negotiated with Wu Jun, he’s already handling the disaster relief, and will soon present a plan. You’re fighting to save people in the disaster area, and we can’t stand by idly, right? Everyone is fighting, you’re not alone!"

Huo Sining felt the growing sting of her heart becoming fuller, seemingly on the verge of spilling over. Her eyes heated up, and she looked up at Gu Xu, opened her mouth to say something, but despite trying several times, she couldn’t speak.

Gu Xu reached out and accurately took hold of her hand, intertwining their fingers, his gaze clear and gentle. Just the faintest glance, and Huo Sining fully understood his meaning.

She couldn’t help but break into a smile, pressed her lips together, cheeks blooming with a faint blush.

Everything didn’t need much explanation; understanding each other’s thoughts with just a glance was enough. In this world, having someone waiting for her like this, and meeting him by chance, what more could Huo Sining ask for?
