Shocking! My Rugged Husband is the Hidden Tycoon in the 70s Novel-Chapter 144: Alone Together

Jiang Xingye knelt on one knee on the ground, holding Xu Qinghuan tightly in his arms. She was so soft and so fragile, her reddened eyes must be because of him!

She was afraid he would die!

His elder uncle and cousin would also be concerned about him, worried for him, but Huanhuan’s care and concern was different. It’s hard to say what the difference was, but it just felt different to him.

He wanted more!

"Huanhuan, I want to hide you here, not let anyone take you away!" His tone was full of grievance.

They were an engaged couple, and even if someone saw them together, they wouldn’t gossip about her anymore.

"Okay!" she said.

Xu Qinghuan cupped his face; their foreheads touched, their noses brushed, and they breathed each other’s breath. They gazed into each other’s eyes, with emotions surging in Jiang Xingye’s, looking at Xu Qinghuan greedily.

He saw her slowly close her eyes.

Jiang Xingye cautiously touched her lips with his, gently at first, then more intently, imitating Xu Qinghuan, both their breaths quickening.

The scent of hormones on him was strong, intoxicating her.

Her arms wrapped around Jiang Xingye’s neck, and she was already somewhat drunk with feeling.

Jiang Xingye closed his eyes, his yearning surged, but each impulse felt like a deep sin, like blasphemy against the divine. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

He couldn’t help himself, his desire for her deepened.

He couldn’t imagine how painful it would be if she left him one day.

But tying her to his side, he also couldn’t bear to hurt her.

On the way back, Jiang Xingye walked very slowly, carrying Xu Qinghuan on his back. To avoid the bloody scene of two people being devoured by wolves, he deliberately took a detour.

Although Jiang Xingye said he wanted to hide her in the cave, and Xu Qinghuan agreed, they both knew these were just words. He couldn’t bear to hide her away, despite her being so wonderful.

She knew too that he wouldn’t do such a thing; she had an inexplicable, unconditional trust in him!

She didn’t even know why herself.

"Ah Ye, put me down, I can walk by myself!" Xu Qinghuan couldn’t bear to stay on his back all the time; this part of the mountain path wasn’t difficult to walk.

Jiang Xingye put her down; she was still wearing that red dress, but after dodging the two men’s pursuit, it was now dirty and torn.

He didn’t know where to buy such a beautiful dress, but he wanted to buy her another one.

Jiang Xingye held her hand, and as they walked, they came to a mountain ditch. He picked her up and leaped across.

Xu Qinghuan held onto his neck, and as their eyes met, she kissed the corner of his lips.

His lip shape was beautiful, with thin lips. They say men with thin lips are often heartless, but she only felt Jiang Xingye’s deep affection.

Jiang Xingye cupped the back of her head and leaned down to kiss her. Unlike the previous kiss in the cave, where his heart was filled with reverence and caution, afraid of offending her, this time it was urgent and wild.

Xu Qinghuan clung to his chest, and suddenly she felt him stop and release her. She listened intently and heard a commotion coming from quite a distance away.

She had merely enhanced her physique and senses with resources from the space, while Jiang Xingye still had such keen perception; it must be said that he had extraordinary talent.

"It’s the villagers, probably worried about us!" Jiang Xingye held her hand and led her forward.

At a mountain stream, Jiang Xingye intended to throw away the guns and ammunition he had seized. Keeping them would only bring danger, and he didn’t want to leave them near the cave for someone to find and cause trouble.

Xu Qinghuan stopped him and took the guns from him, saying, "You go a little further, I’ll hide them."

Jiang Xingye dutifully took a few steps forward, standing with his back to Xu Qinghuan, looking ahead without any intention of peeking.

Xu Qinghuan pretended to fiddle behind a large rock, then placed the items into the space.

Though this mountain was vast and lush, it wasn’t one hundred percent safe. There would always be those who’d piece together clues, uncovering the truth of events and finally bringing trouble their way.

Only by putting them in the space did she feel at ease.

"Uncle!" Jiang Xingye saw Jiang Baohua leading people into the mountain and called out. The comrades relaxed upon seeing the two of them.

"What were you doing, going into the mountains without a word? We heard wolves were about, did you encounter any or get hurt?"

Jiang Baohua hurried over with a group of people behind him, all concerned for them.

"We heard the wolves’ howls and avoided them," Jiang Xingye replied.

Jiang Baohua breathed a sigh of relief, "That’s good, that’s good!"

Lu Nianying accompanied Song Wanlin waiting at the foot of the mountain. The night’s weather was cool, and she wore a colorful shawl over a fitted long dress, with her hair meticulously groomed and unnoticeable earrings on her ears. Everything about her was understated, yet everything was exquisite.

Seeing Xu Qinghuan, concern appropriately appeared in her eyes, and she hurried forward, "Huanhuan, are you alright? Mother heard you entering the mountain with an outsider and was terribly worried.

Running up the mountain at this hour, just the two of you—it’s not good for people to talk."

Her voice was not low, enough for everyone to hear.

Jiang Baohua furrowed his brows, "Comrade Song, Xu Zhiqing and Comrade Jiang are an engaged couple, not outsiders."

Dong Xinmin came over at that moment and overheard, smiling, "Baohua, what do you mean? Engaged couple or not, they’re still not married; calling them outsiders isn’t out of line!"

Jiang Xingye, ignoring whether people were around or not, stubbornly held Xu Qinghuan’s hand, looking at Song Wanlin with a cold, ruthless gaze.

That look made Song Wanlin uncomfortable. She cast Jiang Xingye a glance as if he were dead, then said to Xu Qinghuan, "Huanhuan, come with Mother, I have something to tell you!"

Xu Qinghuan also had something to tell her. Her hand struggled a bit, and Jiang Xingye held it even tighter, looking at her with worry yet determination.

"You go home first, I’ll come find you shortly." Xu Qinghuan said softly.

Jiang Xingye, though unwilling, had to let go. He followed a few steps behind Xu Qinghuan; seeing her wave at him, he dared not follow, only stopping to watch Xu Qinghuan follow Song Wanlin back to the educated youth dormitory.

"What do you want to say, go ahead!"

At the entrance of the educated youth dormitory, Xu Qinghuan stopped, showing no intention of going inside.

Song Wanlin said, "Let’s talk inside. Mother doesn’t have the habit of talking while standing; it’s not proper! I think you wouldn’t either."
