Reborn Spicy Little Wife

Chapter 271 The Darkest Hour (3)

The darkest hour before dawn, when the world is asleep.

Tian Susu is still being interrogated. Since she was arrested, she has not confessed anything except to implicate Luo Ning.

Luo Ning was sleeping soundly in the solitary confinement cell, completely unaware that he was about to be bitten to death by dogs.

Xie Chang'an, whose car had overturned, stared at the clock with worry, wondering how Luo Ning was doing outside.

He didn't know how much time had passed when he suddenly heard a noise. His expression turned serious. Why would there be someone in the house at this hour?

Footsteps?

Xiao Ning? It's Xiao Ning back! Xie Chang'an's drooping heart instantly leaped up, but a vague sense of foreboding made his hands tremble slightly.

It took him a while to see Luo Ning stagger in, leaning against the wall. She went straight to the bedside table, shakily pulled open the bottom drawer, and rummaged through it for a long time, grabbing several times before finally pulling out a bottle of medicine and a syringe...

Xie Chang'an's pupils contracted, and he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

A moment later, Luo Ning's health bar recovered to one-third. Turning her head, she met Xie Chang'an's pained and self-reproachful gaze, which was red-eyed.

"Chang'an!" Luo Ning scrambled to her feet anxiously, stumbling several times before finally reaching Xie Chang'an. She tried to pick him up, but after much effort, she failed.

Xie Chang'an lay on the ground, his eyes unfocused, like a salted fish on the verge of death. "Xiao Ning, I'm sorry, I'm useless, I'm a piece of trash!"

"Don't say that!" Tears welled up in Luo Ning's eyes. She wasn't afraid of any schemes, but she was terrified of Xie Chang'an like this...

A tear slid down and landed in Xie Chang'an's eye, making it feel as if it had been burned. "Xiao Ning, I can't even take care of myself, let alone protect you. I'm so useless!"

Xie Chang'an, whose mental state had completely collapsed, was immersed in a world of sorrow from which he could not extricate himself.

Luo Ning's mind went blank for a moment. She hugged Xie Chang'an tightly, tears streaming down her face. "Chang'an, life is full of disappointments, and the remaining one or two are even more disappointing, but things will always slowly... slowly get better!"

Words were powerless; the stubborn Xie Chang'an continued his path toward his doom, thinking, "I can't even protect my own wife, what else can I do? I'm not even as good as..."

Luo Ning, quick-witted as ever, immediately cut off Xie Chang'an's next words, and the air instantly fell silent.

Xie Chang'an felt the pressure on his mouth and stared at Luo Ning in disbelief.

A tingling electric current ran through Luo Ning's lips, and she completely let loose, prying open Xie Chang'an's teeth...

Pink bubbles appeared in the air at a visible rate, swirling around the two of them.

The originally gloomy atmosphere became hazy and ambiguous.

After an unknown amount of time, Luo Ning finally withdrew her lips and tongue, cupping Xie Chang'an's flushed cheeks, "Are you feeling better now?"

"Hmm..." Xie Chang'an nodded, immersed in the waves of passion, his whole being floating.

The intimacy came too suddenly and lasted too long; not only did the door to a new world open to him, but he was also allowed to explore it.

This was a feeling he had been pursuing for many years, but had never been able to obtain.

Everyone came today, and he's a bit overwhelmed.

Luo Ning breathed a long sigh of relief, her strength almost fully restored. She bent down, picked up Xie Chang'an, and placed him on the bed before turning to clean up the mess.

Xie Chang'an's gaze followed Luo Ning's figure without blinking, as if he had a thousand words to say but didn't know where to begin.

After Luo Ning finished tidying up and resolving Xie Chang'an's personal issues, she carefully examined him and discovered that Xie Chang'an had been receiving intravenous fluids all day without eating. She hurriedly rolled up her sleeves and went to the kitchen.

When Luo Ning brought in millet porridge and side dishes, Xie Chang'an's eyes lit up. Seeing Luo Ning brought color back to his world.

Her turbulent emotions gradually calmed down, and her flushed face returned to normal. "Xiao Ning..."

"You must be starving. Let's eat first, and we can talk about things later!" Luo Ning scooped up some half-cooled millet porridge, scraped it against the rim of the bowl, and brought it to Xie Chang'an's lips.

Xie Chang'an nodded, opened his mouth and put the porridge in his mouth, his taste buds seemed to come alive.

I didn't feel hungry all day because I hadn't eaten anything, but now that I'm eating porridge, I feel really hungry.

"I've been hungry all day, so take a small bite!" Luo Ning scooped up a spoonful and put it in her mouth, glancing at Xie Chang'an.

"Food is as essential as iron; you'll get hungry if you skip a meal!"

"I was worried about you. I didn't have much of an appetite, and I didn't feel hungry, so I didn't eat!" Xie Chang'an seemed to have so much to say, but then he suddenly remembered what had just happened, and his mind raced. "You're right, if you don't eat for a meal, you really get hungry..."

"Fool!" Luo Ning felt a pang of heartache for no reason, and her eyes softened considerably.

"Eat when it's time to eat, don't wait until you're hungry!"

"Yes... I'll listen to my wife!" Xie Chang'an declared solemnly. His wife was his guiding light and the direction he was heading.

Luo Ning's lips curled slightly as he focused on feeding the animals. Even though his heart was filled with raging anger, like a wild beast that had been shackled for thousands of years breaking free of its chains and letting out a vengeful roar, he didn't show it at all.

However, Xie Chang'an could sense it, and he saw that Luo Ning had given him an injection; her body was undergoing a recovery process.

Although he didn't know exactly what had happened, he could deduce what was wrong with Luo Ning.

However, neither of them brought it up; they needed to eat now.

Xie Chang'an didn't eat for a day, and neither did Luo Ning.

The future is fraught with intrigue and uncertainty, and only delicious food can temporarily soothe their fear and give them the strength to get back on their way.

The meal ended in a pleasant atmosphere, and only then did Luo Ning begin to ramble on about the situation outside.

Of course, only the good news was mentioned, while the rest was only briefly mentioned.

After eating, and with the added boost of Luo Ning's love, Xie Chang'an regained a lot of strength. "Xiao Ning, what's your condition right now? Don't try to downplay it!"

"My dad and Luo Hai have arrived and are staying at the military guesthouse. I asked the two bodyguards the Quan family sent me to protect them, but I haven't had a chance to see them yet!"

Yesterday, as soon as I went out, Wang Youcai and his wife tricked me and took me directly to the solitary confinement room.

Speaking of this, I get so angry! Those bastards gave me the worst solitary confinement cell, but they even prepared good stuff for me! I waited until everyone was asleep before coming back to supervise you and find something to eat. I didn't dare to eat anything there!

Yang Zheng and the others are interrogating Tian Susu. I might be detained for a few days. The situation outside is terrible.

"If I'm not there for you, you won't be able to go out for a week! I'll find a way to bring the medicine back to you!"

Xie Chang'an nodded. He was only a nodding acquaintance of Wang Youcai, but he had heard of his wife very well; she was famous throughout the military region, and many people didn't want to get married because of her. "Since you noticed something was wrong, why did you come back so late! And your health..."

Luo Ning shifted her gaze, looking at Xie Chang'an with a mocking expression, "Being alone in an empty room doesn't affect anything!"

She'll hold on until she can't hold on any longer before coming back; she has her own plans.

Those black claws are great, really great. She'd rather chop them all up than not.

Wang Youcai, who tricked him, won't escape either!

The two lowered their voices to discuss countermeasures, and the atmosphere in the room was very harmonious.

Just then, a dark figure crouched down and slipped into Luo Ning's solitary confinement cell...
