Chapter 836: Nuannuan Cried

Initially, Nuannuan did everything she could to calm herself down, telling herself not to panic so that Grandpa would not get worried too. However, upon hearing the old master’s words, Zhong Nuannuan burst into tears.

After being reborn, everything had never been better. If she must mention something that worsened, it must be how pretentious she felt like and how fragile she had become.

In her previous life, except when she was young, the only other time she cried was when Chi Yang came to rescue her. As they were escaping, she was overwhelmed by how hard life must have been for Chi Yang. That was the only time she cried.

In this life, she seemed to have cried uncontrollably.

Once the floodgates were opened, Zhong Nuannuan lost all control. She fell onto the floor on her knees and sobbed beside her grandfather’s bed.

Grandpa did not try to persuade her anymore. He kept caressing her head and hair like he was petting a cat with his calloused and wrinkly hand. It made her feel comfortable and warm, but her heart was simply filled with sorrow.

She was sad because Big Brother Chi Yang promised to call but he never did. She was upset that Grandpa had to see her in such a state despite being deeply distressed himself. Now, he was the one who had to comfort Nuannuan. She was upset that she wailed like a child as Grandpa comforted her, despite telling herself that she must put on a strong front. She cried so hard that she could not stop. It was so embarrassing…

“Big Boss, Brother-in-law’s calling!”

Selina’s voice sounded from outside the door. Upon hearing it, Zhong Nuannuan leaped up from the ground and rushed out to get the phone.

“Big Brother Chi Yang!”

Chi Yang’s voice traversed from the other end of the phone. It was the voice that Nuannuan had been missin— Uh, worried. The voice that Nuannuan had been worrying about.

“Nuannuan, I’m sorry. When I was escaping earlier, my phone broke. After I managed to descend the building, I couldn’t get through to you. When I heard the people down there say that two cars had flown past, I knew that my clever and amazing little girl must have succeeded. However, I couldn’t get through even though I tried calling you. I guessed that your phone must have broken, so I quickly took someone else’s phone and hacked it, making it into my own number as I wait for you to call me. When I realized that you didn’t call, I wanted to call you as soon as possible. However, there was a soldier who disobeyed his orders. He stood too close and gotten himself buried under the explosion debris. I happened to be there, so I helped them move the cement block and rescued him. Thankfully, he wasn’t badly injured.”

Chi Yang had always been known to be a man of few words. He would minimize speaking as much as he could. However, that was the attitude he adopted with others. To Nuannuan, he would do his best to speak more.

This was especially so now. He knew that he spent a lot of time to save the man and he failed to inform her of his safety as he promised.

One could only imagine how worried Nuannuan and Grandpa were.

Therefore, Chi Yang explained everything as clearly as he could. He spoke quickly, afraid that Nuannuan would be angry with him.

Especially when he heard the sobs that escaped Nuannuan, Chi Yang’s heart… felt like someone was squeezing the heck out of it. His heart ached so much that it was about to burst.

“Nuannuan… are you crying?”

Zhong Nuannuan came back to her senses and held her sobs in. She shook her head vigorously. “No, no! Big Brother Chi Yang, I’m glad you’re alright.”

Remembering that Grandpa could not hear, Nuannuan quickly walked to Grandpa’s side and shouted into his ear, “Grandpa, it’s Big Brother Chi Yang! He’s fine! He went to save someone just now!”

When the old master heard that it was his grandson who was calling, the painful knot in his heart unraveled instantly.
