Husband Indulges In Hidden Marriage

Chapter 365: Why don’t you speak? Why are you mute?

 His hand patted Su Fu's face: "Little madman, wake up."

Thinking of her face, Shangguan Ling changed his direction and pinched her arm instead, "Little madman, wake up!"

 After he shouted laboriously for ten minutes, Su Fu finally woke up faintly.

The darkness made her stunned for a long time before she realized where she was.

 “Little madman?”

 The man's deep voice was right next to his ears.

Su Fu took a deep breath, but unexpectedly she inhaled a large amount of dust. She choked and coughed, and Shangguan Ling patted her back.

Soph then realized that she was completely unable to move.

She tried to push Shangguan Ling, but Shangguan Ling just asked slowly: "What's wrong?"

Soph was silent.

Shangguan Ling asked again: "Is it injured somewhere?"

 Before she woke up, he checked her and found that there was no bleeding anywhere on her body.

 Is there...is there anything else that he didn't check?

 “Ahem…”

Soph coughed again. The dust in the air was so heavy that she felt extremely uncomfortable.

 Tear—

 The sound of shredding cloth.

　　The man’s warm hand handed over a piece of cloth, “Cover your mouth and nose.”

 Soph understood his intention and asked her to make a simple mask to block out dust.

Not wanting to wrong herself, Su Fu did not refuse pretentiously, but accepted it happily.

 “Why don’t you speak? Why are you mute?”

　　　…”

“Don’t worry, Jiangchuan will come to rescue us soon.”

　　　…”

 “You little madman, speak!”

 The man's patience had reached its limit. He held her chin with one hand and exerted a slight force.

Soph felt the pain and gasped.

Shangguan Ling smiled with satisfaction, his laughter was low and deep, and it was particularly clear in this small space.

Soph's mind pictured Shen Ruoxi's dead-eyed look, and the miserable sight of being shot all over his body and bleeding all over the place.

 “Shangguan Ling.”

"Um?"

Su Fu didn't notice the slightest difference in his tone, nor did she feel any sadness because of Shen Ruoxi's death. She reminded him lightly: "...Shen Ruoxi is dead."

 At first, she really thought he was going to use her to divert Yamada Hirono's attention and save Shen Ruoxi.

It was not until later that she understood that she was the one Shangguan Ling planned to save from the beginning.

 He knew that Yamada Hirano would not believe him so easily, so he pulled her to block the gun.

At that time, Yamada Hirono had just ordered the shooting, and the followers still had a few seconds to react.

It poses no threat to her at all, and bullets will not hit her.

 But Shen Ruoxi is different.

Perhaps that was a test by Yamada Hirano to test who Shangguan Ling really cared about.

After seeing him dragging her in front of him to block the gun, he resolutely concluded that Shen Ruoxi was the woman he loved most.

Especially after Shen Ruoxi was shot, his low growl to stop him made Yamada Hirano more sure that his judgment was correct.

 The place where they were hiding now was obviously carefully calculated early in the morning.

The triangle formed here can support just enough space to prevent them from dying.

  Shangguan Ling protected her in his arms and did not let her suffer any harm.

"I know." Shangguan Ling's voice was always cold.

 It is impossible to fathom his thoughts.

 Silence.

 A suffocating silence broke out between the two.
