The General's Little Peasant Wife

Chapter 219: Only Fear

Translator: Vesper

Qiao Tian Chang didn’t move and didn’t struggle. He allowed Ning Meng Yao to bite him hard, her ruthless strength was as if she was only going to be happy if she bit off his flesh.

Only when her mouth had the taste of blood did she finally released in a daze.

Sensing her letting go, Qiao Tian Chang carefully laid her back onto the bed. He turned over and pressed on top of her, looking at her eyes that were filled with tears and pain.

He lowered to give her a kiss her on top of her eyes, a simple action like this, Ning Meng Yao could feel his tremble and fear.

“Yao Yao, it wasn’t that I don’t want to tell you, I just didn’t dare to tell you.”

“Why? Are you afraid I would overturn Xiao Country?”

“That’s not it, so what if you wanted to do so? But that isn’t my reason for doing so.” Qiao Tian Chang looked at her dazed face and empty eyes, and his heart ached bluntly, “You were drugged by Qiao Tian Yu with an overdose of soft tendon scattering powder, added with a miscarriage, your health isn’t in a good shape so I didn’t dare let you suffer any agitation. The baby is gone, but I didn’t dare to take any risks for fear of losing you, do you understand?”

When he saw her at Qi Residence, her breathing was weak as if it was absent. Those two days were the most difficult days for him as Qing Shuang had used a lot of top-quality healing medicine to heal her health back. The stews that she ate also contained a huge number of medicinal herbs to heal her back to health. It was only because of this that her health gradually started to get better.

“But you can’t keep it from me too, that was my child, how can you be so selfish?” Ning Meng Yao whispered in a low voice, as if she hasn’t returned back to her senses from this news.

“I wanted to tell you once your health got better, but who knew...” Who knew it would get leaked.

Ning Meng Yao remained silent. After a very long while, she opened her eyes to the person in front of her, “Go out.”

“Yao Yao, I...”

“Go out, I want to be alone.” Ning Meng Yao had her head to the other side, not looking at Qiao Tian Chang.

Even if she knew Qiao Tian Chang did it for her own good, even if she knew Qiao Tian Chang felt bad in his heart, she was still furious that he had kept it from her.

Qiao Tian Chang’s face grew stiff, he got up and left quietly afterwards.

He closed the doors shut behind him after he left.

Sitting in the courtyard, he was a bit at a loss. Ning Meng Yao like that made him panic. She was blaming him, blaming him for not telling her about it.

She thought that he did it for Xiao Qi Feng and Xiao Country. Even though Xiao Qi Feng was his good friend, he couldn’t be compared to his wife? Why would he stop her because of this? He was only worried about her.

Ning Meng Yao laid in bed in a daze, how long had it been since she felt like this?

She came to this world when she was around 10 years old. She met Mei Ruo Lin while fighting for survival soon afterwards. Since she was the youngest, they were always doting on her, protecting her. Then she met Ling Luo. He was still so protective of her at that time, all until she left the capital for White Mountain Village.

In that mountain village, she led a comfortable life which made her forget that the historical life which she led was actually the same as the modern era. One can do whatever they please if they have the capabilities, otherwise, they would be trampled under someone.

Xiao Zi Xuan’s assassination was not just once, but Qiao Tian Chang was present at that time and he protected her, ensuring all the things she wanted to do was taken care of. She thought that everything would be fine as long as she hid in his embrace and be a young lady with a piece of mind. But who knew that something like this would happen to her.

Rather than saying it was the fault of others, she had only herself to blame. Her superiority was too obvious. She thought that with so many people protecting her, what could happen to her? She was now very regretful of the decision she made in the past.

And she was very regretful of her own pride.

Ning Meng Yao covered her face with her hands as tears fell from her eyes. Her heart was filled with regret and anger, but what was the point of regretting now? No matter how much she regretted, her child wouldn’t come back. No matter how much she regretted, what had happened had already happened.

Ning Meng Yao stared into space on her bed while Qiao Tian Chang stared into space as he sat outside. Qing Xue was very worried about the situation. Nothing would happen between Young Master and Missy, right?

Late at night, Ning Meng Yao opened the door and walked out. Seeing Qiao Tian Chang sitting on the stone stool in the courtyard filled with loneliness and sadness, it made Ning Meng Yao frown. She didn’t like seeing him like that.
