Chapter 385: A Helping Hand?
The next few days Xing spent cooped up in her Manor not doing anything and she felt too weak to move. But staying in a place only spoiled her mood and she didn’t feel good feeling weak as her cold didn’t reduce.
So amidst Xiao Mei’s protests, she left for the mountains alone to collect some medicines for herself with a basket in hand.
What she didn’t know is that Chenglei who was watching over her from a distance these past few days is following her now too.
He was happy that she woke up but was devastated that she only woke up after he left her and the truth that she really doesn’t wish to see him, broke his heart but still he could not stay away from her and was following her around these past few days.
She was crying uncontrollably some times and today she seemed to be of good spirits as she came out for a walk or something. He worried if she’d lose her way and he followed her.
Who is he kidding? He wanted to watch her all the time. Too bad, that insolent maid is watching her all the time and he could not sneak in even when JiaXing sleeps. He could only watch her when she comes out like this.
That maid is not meeting with Lin Mubai too for some reason and that had made Mubai’s mood sour and he is now blaming him. Chenglei wondered what made the women so different from the men and why they must be this complicated.
Looking at his woman who was approached by a wild grey wolf, he was more amazed. He realised it was the same wolf that was with her when he got her from the mountains.
She really wasn’t lying when she said she rode on grey wolves, was she? He thought to himself as he jumped from one tree to another to watch her a bit closer.
Surprising for Xing, Pengpeng was still there in the mountains with his mate. Apparently, he left his pack with his mate since he lost the battle for leadership. Their pack had strict rules forbidding the lost leaders to live in the pack.
That’s when Xing realised that Pengpeng is old by their standards. Grey wolves only lived for ten to twelve years and he is already nine years old. It won’t be too long before Pengpeng passes away and his mate will follow him too.
These thoughts made Xing more sad as she wandered around with Pengpeng carrying her basket. Pengpeng’s always been a close companion to Xing in many ways and with him near her, she lowered her guard a little.
