Chapter 136 – Wolf attack (1)
Did you not know? Li Mo purchased you to be Li family’s shared wife!
—
When Li Man came out of her daze, she saw that she had somehow walked to a verdant area with trees . It was so quiet here that she could hear the chirping of insects in the grass .
Her legs felt weak, so she numbly sat down on an exposed tree root . Her embroidered shoes had become unbearably stained by mud a while ago, but she didn’t have the energy to care . Mudan’s words kept echoing in her mind as well as Mudan’s slightly surprised and sympathetic gaze .
Above her, towering trees blocked the sky, and only a patch of the sky could be seen .
She suddenly thought of her memories of modern-day .
AdvertisementThat young girl, who had been born with congenital heart disease, could only stand in the corner and enviously watch her classmates play with rubber bands .
During athletic competitions, she didn’t even have the qualifications to join in and cheer . She could hear the unceasing shouts of encouragement coming from the school campus, but she could only stay at home and look at the sunflower on her windowsill . It had lost a few petals and leaves .
On the college campus, underneath the Chinese parasol trees, there would be sweet couples walking together and attracting admiring gazes . As for herself, she had gone in shock from being too nervous about her first date and utterly frightened away the young man that had wanted to date her .
Much later on…
After graduating college, as her former classmates were busy starting their careers, her parents had arranged a marriage for her .
That man, he came from a good family, had a good appearance, high-level education, a good job, and this would be his first marriage too . And so, she fell for that man’s gentle smile .
At that time, she had thought the gods were compensating her by giving her such a good man .
After the wedding, they treated each other with mutual respect . Although their marriage was as insipid as water, she felt incomparably blessed .
She went from a young girl that didn’t know anything to someone that learned how to do housework such as cooking . She cooked all sorts of culinary delicious to please her husband .
However, although he had smiled warmly when they met each other for the first time, she saw that smile appearing less and less in his eyes .
He would frequently return home very late . Sometimes, he wouldn’t even come home .
…
She suddenly felt as if there was something in her eyes . Li Man rubbed her eyes and realized there were tears at the corners of her eyes . Her face felt wet too .
Was she crying?
She had previously though that her new life had allowed these memories to gradually fade away . She didn’t expect that these memories would still feel so vivid right now .
She missed her family and that time period . She even missed that man, who had betrayed her .
…
At this moment, Li family’s home was in total chaos .
Li Shu’s eyes were already red . He turned to hide from their view and secretly rubbed the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand . “Could she have run away again?”
“She wouldn’t . ” Li Hua’s complexion was pale . He didn’t know if he said this to comfort his older brother or to comfort himself .
Little Five was rubbing his eyes and crying . “I want older sister . ”
“Oldest brother? ”Li Yan was sitting on the bed and questioningly looking at Li Mo .
Li Mo’s forehead was wrinkled . He said, “Stop thinking of such ridiculous things . She definitely didn’t run away by herself . ”
Li Yan’s expression became graver . “En . Oldest brother, I’m just worried that something happened to her . ”
Li Mo added, “Yes, that’s a possibility . I walked around the entire village and didn’t see her . The morning is almost over . We have to find her before it gets dark out . Second brother, go with third brother and check the fields in front of the village . Fourth brother, stayed in the village and look for her . I’ll go the back of the mountain to search . Little Five, stay at home just in case she comes back soon . ”
