Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 445

Chapter 445: Chapter 445 Spreading the Word

Day turned to night, and then a new day dawned upon Locust Tree Village, bathed in silvery white. It seemed no different from any other day, yet there was a sense of unease in the air.

Cao Xiaojuan was particularly restless today, her mind seemed to be elsewhere no matter what she was doing. Ning Ge asked her several times, but her replies were all over the place.

"Ge Ling, do you miss home? Why don’t you go back to Rong City first, and I’ll come find you after the New Year?" Cao Xiaojuan asked him with a smile.

Ning Ge put on a stern face and said, "What’s the matter, did your parents say something? I knew it, they never liked me."

"No, no, it’s not like that," Cao Xiaojuan hurriedly explained, "They didn’t say anything about you, I was just wondering if you were homesick, that’s all."

For some reason, she felt a deep anxiety within her. Master Wei had suddenly assigned them to commit crimes on several roads, as if in a great rush, and she didn’t understand why.

She was also afraid that Ning Ge would find out what she had been doing, afraid that he would...

If she could get Ning Ge to leave, that would be for the best. Otherwise, if something unexpected happened, how would he look at her?

Cao Xiaojuan was in turmoil.

Ning Ge snorted and stood up, saying, "I suppose they just think I’m no good, what else could it be? I can’t be bothered with you. I’m going to town to make a phone call to my dad."

"Oh!" Cao Xiaojuan stood up too.

"No need to follow me, I’m annoyed and I can go by myself," Ning Ge threw over his shoulder.

Cao Xiaojuan’s unease grew as she saw him getting ready to leave. She wanted to follow, but Ning Ge glared at her and she reluctantly stayed put.

Ning Ge left the house, and Cao Guigen came over to ask, "What’s going on, where is he going?"

"He’s going to town to call his family."

"No problems, right? Why didn’t you go with him?" Cao Guigen frowned darkly, he never quite trusted Ning Ge, because he couldn’t figure the young man out.

"He didn’t want me to," Cao Xiaojuan said hesitantly.

Cao Guigen’s expression grew even more sullen, his gaze deep and unreadable, reflecting neither joy nor anger. After a long pause, he said, "Drug his food tonight. It’s best if nothing happens, but if anything does, hmph!"
