The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man novel Chapter 119

Chapter 119: Chapter 118: Say It Once, Punished Once

"Mr. Leng, if you keep this up, you’re going to lose your little sweetheart."

Gu Jiaojiao was startled, and her temper flared up.

’She suddenly felt the urge to act up a little.’

A dangerous glint flashed in Leng Yuan’s dark eyes as he held her even tighter.

"Jiaojiao, trust me, you don’t want to do that here."

The scorching heat from his powerful hand made Gu Jiaojiao feel as if her waist was being scalded. Flustered, she let go of him and stood up straight.

"Heh... Calm down."

"Your little sweetheart is here to stay."

’This damn man. She couldn’t even speak her mind anymore.’

He wouldn’t let her say words like "lose" or "gone."

One mention, one punishment.

She had just forgotten and wanted to act up again, not expecting this man to be such a jerk.

Hmph!!!

’If you’re so tough, then don’t touch me!!!’

"Good."

Looking at the indignant yet suppressed expression on Gu Jiaojiao’s face, Leng Yuan was amused, and a single word escaped his lips.

Before, Leng Yuan never would have believed he would say such a thing.

But looking at his adorable little wife, the word just slipped out.

Only then did Leng Yuan understand that some words, when you reach a certain point, are spoken uncontrollably.

Words like "like," for example, or "love."

Feelings like that can’t be hidden.

And he didn’t want to hide them. He just wanted to be good to her—exceptionally good!

Gu Jiaojiao was a classic case of someone who responded to gentle persuasion, not brute force.

If you tried to be tough with her, she’d be tougher than anyone. But if someone coaxed her, she’d soften immediately.

And just like that, the damn man had only to coax her a little, and Gu Jiaojiao wasn’t angry anymore.

Leng Yuan let out a soft chuckle.

’His little wife was just that easy to fool.’

’Sigh. He’d just have to keep a closer eye on her from now on.’

’To keep every Tom, Dick, and Harry from getting any ideas.’

After crossing the deep gully, the terrain flattened out considerably. The two walked for another half hour before arriving at the edge of a cliff.

Perhaps because they were near the summit, the moon was exceptionally bright, allowing Gu Jiaojiao to see the surrounding terrain clearly.

She could faintly make out some scenery below the cliff, but further down, there was only pitch-black darkness.

It was a small purple flower, very beautiful and one she had never seen before. It was tied to a small stone and now lay in her palm.

’To have the spare time to pick a wildflower...’ Gu Jiaojiao was truly impressed.

But she had to admit, she wasn’t nervous at all anymore.

Leng Yuan’s speed was incredible, his movements exceptionally practiced.

When he was a child, his grandfather often took him to the mountains to practice his skills. For him, rock climbing was no challenge at all.

Leng Yuan quickly reached the same level as the Polygonum multiflorum.

He tightened the rope at that height and let go with his hands.

The next moment, he pushed off with the tips of his toes, his body swinging out from the momentum. When he landed again, he was not far from the Polygonum multiflorum.

Relying on the beam from Leng Yuan’s flashlight, Gu Jiaojiao could barely make out his movements.

When Leng Yuan reached the Polygonum multiflorum, he didn’t immediately start digging.

Near any rare treasure of nature, there would always be an animal guarding it.

This was a lesson learned from his many years of hunting.

Leng Yuan expertly surveyed the terrain and noticed a tiny cave in the cliff face.

He quickly took a sickle from his back basket and tapped the leaves of the Polygonum multiflorum.

Almost at the exact instant the sound was made, a colorfully patterned venomous snake shot out from the cave, striking at Leng Yuan’s neck.

In that instant, it felt as if Gu Jiaojiao’s heart had stopped.
