Chapter 1203: Chapter 1203: Husband and Wife Reunion
"Qian Cheng, what’s wrong with you?" Gong Bei looked at Mu Qiancheng with confusion on his face, feeling that ever since they saw that little girl, Mu Qiancheng had been acting a bit unusually.
"Nothing!" Mu Qiancheng claimed it was nothing, but his gaze had already shifted towards Jiang Xue, who was walking from behind.
Jiang Xue originally intended to speed up and catch up with those people directly. But then she thought, following them like this wouldn’t really help, and besides, she worried that Mu Qiancheng might be upset knowing she had come, so she hesitated.
This hesitation caused her pace to slow down, successfully widening the distance between her and those people.
"Nothing? Qian Cheng, who are you trying to fool?" Gong Bei had a look as if saying "Do you think I’m stupid?", knowing some of Mu Qiancheng’s habits after months of interaction.
Now, Mu Qiancheng suddenly lagging behind probably meant he encountered something. But since Mu Qiancheng wasn’t speaking, there was nothing Gong Bei could do. It’s not like he could open up Mu Qiancheng’s head to see what he was thinking.
However, Mu Qiancheng remained silent, his gaze tightly fixated on the person walking towards him.
Although they were still five or six meters apart and amidst this rain and mist, he still recognized Jiang Xue, realized she was his little wife.
"Qian Cheng, Qian Cheng, what are you looking at?" Gong Bei watched as Mu Qiancheng stared intently ahead, waving his hand across Mu Qiancheng’s eyes.
Qian Cheng didn’t speak, continuously watching the figure inching ever closer to him, wondering when she would finally reach his side.
Indeed, Jiang Xue was inching forward at this moment. Eager to see Mu Qiancheng on one hand, yet afraid he might scold her on the other. She wanted to approach, but didn’t dare.
As a result, her pace was akin to a snail’s, slowly inching forward. And when she noticed two people had fallen behind, seemingly waiting for her, she slowed down even more.
Because she knew, among them, one person was definitely Mu Qiancheng. He surely recognized her and stopped to wait for her.
Mu Qiancheng, upon seeing her, would undoubtedly ask why she came here. What should she say then?
Jiang Xue thought constantly while slowly moving forward like a snail.
Mu Qiancheng waited a while, seeing Jiang Xue’s pace was unbearably slow, got impatient, and then strode towards her.
Watching Mu Qiancheng walk towards her, Jiang Xue simply stopped, holding up her umbrella while standing quietly in place, watching him.
Gong Bei saw Mu Qiancheng unexpectedly heading toward the umbrella-holding girl ahead, first froze, then followed.
He wanted to see what Mu Qiancheng was planning to do, and wanted to know who the girl ahead was for whom Mu Qiancheng had fallen behind.
Finally, they approached Jiang Xue, and Gong Bei recognized her, then looked at her with surprise, asking, "Sis, what are you doing here?"
Mu Qiancheng looked at Jiang Xue, though he didn’t speak, his eyes conveyed the same question.
Jiang Xue glanced at Mu Qiancheng, then somewhat guiltily looked away, speaking softly, "I specially came to find you."
As soon as she said this, Mu Qiancheng furrowed his brows, looking at Jiang Xue disapprovingly, scolding lowly, "Nonsense!"
This is a disaster area. She should’ve stayed home, yet she ran here. He didn’t know how to respond to this.
