My beautiful CEO wife-Chapter 1687: Yuan Ying Is Captured!

The night was starless and sparse. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Leng Ruobing’s long eyelashes fluttered, and then she opened her eyes with a hint of confusion.

Chu Xiaoran, who had been by her side all along, was overjoyed, quickly supporting Leng Ruobing’s newly awakened and very weak body, and let her lie on the feather pillow, then spoke with concern, "Sister, you scared me to death. I thought, I thought..."

As she spoke, tears fell.

What a crybaby... The newly awakened Leng Ruobing had a helpless smile at the corner of her mouth and reached out to wipe the tears off Chu Xiaoran’s face.

"It’s okay, Xiao Ran, it’s okay..." She said this, but deep confusion lingered in her eyes.

She had a dream, a very strange dream.

In the dream, it seemed like she saved Long Qie and others in the Demon-breaking Canyon, but she was very certain it wasn’t her, yet if it wasn’t her, who else could it be?

Why did she have those inexplicable thoughts at that time?

She shook her head, maybe it was really just a simple dream...

Leng Ruobing raised her head and looked at the deep night sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window, the moonlight tonight was so beautiful, and the corners of her mouth curved up in her heart, saying this sentence to that person.

The one who translated "I love you" into "The moonlight is beautiful tonight," was it Natsume Soseki or Dazai Osamu?

She didn’t remember.

Creak.

Catherine pushed the door open and walked in, with a few traces of eagerness on her face. She hurriedly ran to Leng Ruobing’s side, grabbed her hand, and asked with a worried look.

"How are you feeling, is there any discomfort, the baby in your belly should be okay!"

Leng Ruobing stared blankly at this somewhat offbeat woman. Honestly, in Sky Net, her relationship with Catherine wasn’t very close. She didn’t know where Catherine went when Sky Net was facing a crisis.

But she resolutely came to the obvious trap of Demon-breaking Canyon just to save Leng Ruobing.

This alone was enough for Leng Ruobing to trust her.

But when she thought of Beidao Guang and Great Sound Buddha Sect, her face turned ugly, grabbing Catherine’s hands instead, she asked in a deep voice, "How’s the situation now? Great Sound Buddha Sect and Beidao Guang won’t give up so easily."

Catherine was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting Leng Ruobing’s first question upon waking up to be this. She couldn’t help but smile, feeling a lot more relieved, she held Leng Ruobing’s hand in her palm, gently patting it.

"Don’t worry, the situation is under our control now, just rest and recover, leave the rest to us." Saying this, Catherine stood up, with a gentle smile at the corner of her mouth, "You’re very weak right now, you can’t get out of bed at will, think more about the baby in your belly."

On the other side, in the Heavenly Network Cultivation Room.

Long Qie was sitting upright in the room, Gang Qi within continued to gather in Dantian and spread to all directions to heal his injuries.

"Where did Kath go?" Titan, shirtless, walked out from the recovery room, fully healed now.

"She went to Miss Leng, they should be awake now." Long Qie slowly opened his eyes, looked up at Titan, and said, though there was still some weakness on his face, the time wasn’t enough yet for him to fully recover.

Titan shook his head, sat beside Long Qie, glanced at his injuries within, and with a slightly teasing tone said, "Looks like you’re in bad shape now. If I were to beat you up now, you probably wouldn’t be able to resist, right?"

Upon hearing this, Long Qie glared at him coldly, then snorted and said, "Do you think I need to use full strength to handle you?"

"Haha..." Titan sneered, not minding, he raised his eyebrows seriously and said, "Just got news, Beidao Alliance has had an internal conflict."

"That’s no longer news."

"Is that so, you have a well-connected source."

"Ha, that old rascal Bei Daohai always does things like this, too confident, and too trusting his logic in judgment."

"Isn’t that a good thing?"

"Of course not."

"Why?"

"Because the hardest thing in the world to judge is the human heart, that old rascal thinks he understands this truth, but in fact every action he takes is an attempt to control the human heart."

"Ha, no wonder he would fail."

Titan stretched his body, his words relaxed as he sentenced Beidao Guang to doom, but he didn’t feel so relaxed inside.

Long Qie understood it too, as the saying goes, "a centipede dies but never stiffens," Beidao Alliance after all is powerful and has allied with many Huaxia forces. From a certain perspective, if Sky Net decides to completely eradicate this force, it would basically be declaring war with half of Huaxia’s martial unity.

If Xiao Zheng were still around, Sky Net naturally wouldn’t fear it, but now Xiao Zheng’s attitude seems still a bit uncertain, plus Great Sound Buddha Sect is like a mountain blocking the way. If something else happens with Beidao Alliance now, the whole situation will become passive.

"It’s really troublesome..." Titan shrugged, muttered.

"But no matter how troublesome, we have to carry on with it." Long Qie’s gaze was towards the calm night outside the window, a flicker of killing intent in his eyes.

"That’s for sure, so..." Titan’s face bore an indescribable smile, patting Long Qie’s shoulder vigorously, he laughed, "You just hurry and recover, otherwise the old rascal Bei Daohai will be mine."

"Ha... you’re dreaming, his life is mine, not your turn!" Long Qie forcefully shook off Titan’s hand, his expression eased, and he said calmly, "Shouldn’t take long for me to recover, Evil God’s Gang Qi truly is astounding, I even feel that the barrier I’ve never touched is already placed before me."

Upon hearing this, Titan’s expression flashed with a hint of suspicion, he looked at Long Qie incredulously, surprised and said, "So you’re saying you’re already seeing the middle-stage Martial Saint beckoning to you?"

Long Qie smiled, with ill-intentions towards Titan said, "Yes, from now on when sparring with me, the one who’ll be sparred might only be you."

"Ha!" Titan stood up in a swift motion, looking at Long Qie with disdain, "You think you can find your way, I can’t? I’m sure I’ll break through to middle-stage Martial Saint before you!"

"We’ll see?"

"We’ll see!"

.........

Xiao Zheng seized the night, quietly slipped through the gate of Yuan Family’s ancestral home, and along the way checked Catherine’s house, feeling relieved only after ensuring she wasn’t there.

Though he didn’t know why he had to hide like this, he felt that hiding wasn’t a bad thing.

But as he just stepped inside the door, he felt a warm body rush directly into his arms, then tightly held him, seemingly afraid he would suddenly disappear again.
