The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man novel Chapter 147

Chapter 147: Chapter 146: It Fell Off a Cliff and Died on Its Own

"I didn’t hunt this."

"It fell off a cliff and died on its own."

Leng Yuan’s voice was completely flat.

He hadn’t intended to hunt the deer, but it got too scared, ran too fast, didn’t see the cliff, and just jumped right off to its death.

Gu Jiaojiao was speechless.

’My man’s luck is top-notch.’

’How could something so lucky just happen to him?’

In any case, Gu Jiaojiao planned to make good use of this deer. It was excellent for improving one’s health and strength.

Just as the two of them were chatting, the shed roof above them suddenly shifted. The next moment, half of it collapsed.

Gu Jiaojiao was right under it. If the largest crossbeam from above hit her on the head, she would be dead or crippled.

"Watch out."

Leng Yuan quickly grabbed her arm, pulled her into his embrace, and took several steps back.

CRASH.

The shed roof slammed violently onto the ground.

It landed right beside Gu Jiaojiao’s feet, just grazing past her.

If Leng Yuan hadn’t been so fast, that wooden beam would have smashed right on top of Gu Jiaojiao’s head.

Gu Jiaojiao jumped in fright, and in the next moment, her face went pale.

"Don’t be afraid. It’s over now."

Leng Yuan coaxed Gu Jiaojiao, his own heart still pounding with fear. Seeing his wife’s pale face, his heart ached for her.

"I’m going to go see what happened!"

Leng Yuan walked over to inspect the collapsed part of the shed.

But Gu Jiaojiao suddenly grabbed Leng Yuan’s arm, her face tense.

"Don’t go."

"It’s fine. The roof has already fallen. It’s safe now; nothing else will happen."

Gu Jiaojiao glanced at the part of the shed that had no reason to collapse any further, and only then did she let go.

Leng Yuan hadn’t built this house long ago, and he had constructed the shed himself. Not only had he used good quality wood, but he had also specially designed the structure.

You couldn’t tell from the outside, but he had run tests on it.

Whether it was an earthquake or something else, he was absolutely certain it would stand without issue for a hundred years.

The principle was similar to the structure of the Forbidden City, which has stood for a thousand years without falling.

Although Leng Yuan’s materials and workmanship weren’t as refined as the Forbidden City’s, a hundred years should have been no problem at all.

For it to collapse after only two or three years was no small matter.

And the results of his inspection shocked him even more. An entire wooden beam, with no signs of being cut or corroded, had snapped clean in half.

This completely defied logic.

"Leng Yuan, can you teach me martial arts?"

In her previous life, she had learned a few Taekwondo moves, purely for self-defense.

It was really just amateurish stuff, enough to launch a surprise attack on someone and then run away.

In a real head-on fight, against absolute power, it was completely useless.

Leng Yuan was also still shaken. His heart was still pounding wildly, and the scene from just moments ago kept replaying in his mind.

So when Gu Jiaojiao brought it up, he immediately agreed.

"Okay. Starting tomorrow, you’ll learn from me."

The two of them chatted for a while, and Gu Jiaojiao finally relaxed completely.

It was also at this moment that she remembered the three hundred yuan she got from selling the fountain pen was still on her.

Gu Jiaojiao stood up, opened the wardrobe, and pulled three hundred yuan from her wallet to hand to Leng Yuan.

"This is for you."

Leng Yuan frowned.

He didn’t know exactly how much money his wife had, but he was sure it wasn’t more than a hundred yuan. For her to suddenly pull out three hundred was a bit of a surprise.

"Where did you get this?"

"Why are you suddenly giving me money?"

Seeing he was still unwilling to come clean, Gu Jiaojiao snorted coldly. "Did you really think you could hide the fact that you took out a loan from a loan shark?"
