Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 149

Chapter 149: Chapter 149 Worry

Cheng Su and Li Qiulan were busy pickling cucumbers in the small courtyard. Meanwhile, Ning Ge, with a backpack strapped on, climbed up Water Chestnut Mountain. He moved with agility and quickness, expertly navigating through the terrain, occasionally stopping to listen closely to the sounds around him. His expression was one of vigilance and sternness, something neither Cheng Su nor Qi Taiguo had ever seen on his face before.

Trusting his memory, Ning Ge climbed up the mountain off the beaten path, taking a rugged trail instead. Before long, his hands were scratched and bleeding from the thorns and branches.

But Ning Ge didn’t care in the least. His eyes blazed as he burrowed towards the place in his memory.

The sun began to dip westward, and the mountain was covered in shade from the dense foliage, blocking out much of the sunlight, leaving only dappled specks of light filtering down through the leaves.

As the mountain breeze rustled the treetops, Ning Ge looked up at the sky and quickened his pace.

Back in the town, Cheng Su and Li Qiulan returned home, but still saw no sign of Ning Ge. Cheng Su couldn’t help but frown.

Even after cooking dinner, when Qi Taiguo from the army had come home, Ning Ge still hadn’t appeared.

"Where did he go?" Qi Taiguo was somewhat surprised to find Ning Ge absent.

"He said he had something to do this afternoon and even borrowed twenty yuan from me. No idea what for," Cheng Su glanced at the clock; it was already half-past six. "Are you hungry? Shall we have some soup first?"

She had simmered a pot of winter melon and spare rib soup and served up two bowls, her eyes occasionally drifting towards the door.

"When he’s around, you can’t stand the sight of him. Now that he’s gone, you seem rather anxious." Qi Taiguo commented sourly, "Remember, I’m your husband."

Cheng Su laughed, retorted playfully, "Are you getting jealous? I’m just worried he’s run off, that’s thirty yuan after all! If he runs away, who will I turn to?"

"If you’re worried, just admit it, instead of being stubborn like a duck," he said.

Despite his words, Qi Taiguo was pleased inside. This just proved that Cheng Su was a kind-hearted person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
