Daily life of working as a substitute bride for a wealthy family

Sheng Yang struggled to get up, but he felt dizzy.

The phone rang again.

Song Nan supported him: "Answer the phone first."

Sheng Yang picked up the phone and pressed the answer button.

"Mr. Sheng, Miss Xiang fell into the water. Our people saw a figure falling into the water from a distance, and there were no other boats at the time."

"When we caught up, the boat was already drifting on the lake, it had lost power and the diesel had burned out."

"It's getting dark now, and there's still no news. The water police are helping us search the nearby waters."

"Mr. Sheng...Mr. Sheng...can you hear me?"

-

The most beautiful time of SL Lake is in the evening.

Whenever the sun sets, the colorful steel-tile houses, water birds, mangroves, and fishing boats on the water surface complement each other beautifully.

But Sheng Yang didn't wait until the sunset, and it started to rain.

The search has not stopped since last night.

General Zhao Qingquan, who has close ties with the mining project, also sent a team of private guards to assist in the search.

The "generals" of Country Z may not have real power in the royal army, but they are almost all overseas Chinese leaders who can be granted titles by the royal family.

They have prestige, certain political rights, and even private armed forces.

-

The search area continues to expand.

Gradually the wind got stronger.

The wind blew the rain, which hit the car window glass.

Sheng Yang sat there, his upper body half wet because the car window next to him was not rolled up.

The driver called out, "Mr. Sheng, your phone number."

He finally reacted and picked up the phone.

It’s Song Nan.

Sheng Yang spoke with difficulty, "We haven't found her yet, but we just found a backpack with her passport in the weeds in the nearby waters."

"Song Nan, she can't swim at all. She once asked me before - if you and him fell into the water, who should I save first?"

Song Nan didn't know how to comfort him. "Sister-in-law...she's a very alert person. The situation may not be as bad as you think. Stay calm. I'll take care of Song Xuan at home for you. Her temperature has dropped slightly. Director Chen is treating her personally, and I've also sent for Professor Zhao, whom you mentioned."

"I went to see Songxuan this afternoon. Although he had a fever, he was in good spirits and nothing serious was wrong."

"I'm sorry, Sheng Yang. I didn't know about the sleeping pills yesterday..."

Sheng Yang interrupted him: "It's not your fault, it's me..."

it's me,

It was me who didn't do it.

I swore an oath.

The oath I once swore before her,

It seemed to fly into his ears from all directions.

"If... I, Sheng Yang, don't personally educate and raise this child—the family will be destroyed, the child will be left alone, and the child will be forever without his love."

but--

But I didn't really want to send Songxuan to Australia.

The trending searches on Tik Tok do not count.

The photos at the airport were also staged.

The baby didn't even get on the plane!

I just...

Just want to take advantage of a mother's love for her young child,

Force you to show up.

These are certainly not upright practices?

But to you - do I need to be honest?

Is being open and honest useful?

why?

Why is this happening?

-

He opened the car door and walked towards the shore.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, countless rain ropes fell from the sky, and there was white water all around, and even the nearby lake surface could not be seen clearly.

The person behind him held an umbrella behind him, and he pushed it away.

Walk into the rain alone.

Someone called him.

He turned a deaf ear to it and just kept walking forward.

Finally I found my footing in the shallow water.

The people following behind breathed a sigh of relief.

Sheng Yang felt as if there was an extremely sharp and thin ice needle in his temple, slowly piercing there.

One needle at a time, pushing it in vigorously.

He closed his eyes: "No matter what, I will find you."

"anyway."

"From the sky to the underworld, I will find you."

"Because—because you promised me." He knelt in the rain, "You promised to wait for me... to come back and draw your eyebrows for you."

-

Xiang Ran was sitting in front of the mirror, shaving his hair with a clipper.

Mo Shaohua, wrapped in a bed sheet, sat on the bed and looked at her: "Does it have to be so short?"

"The more manly I am, the less embarrassed you'll be."

"Why should I be embarrassed?" Mo Shaohua raised an eyebrow and said stubbornly, "I just squeezed into a small space to 'escape' and spent another night in the room."

But when he thought about the plastic tarp last night, in the darkness and dampness, he thought about how soft she was on his back.

Mo Shaohua still looked away.

"That's right, a gentleman's friendship is as pure as water. Yesterday... thank you." Xiang Ran turned around, "I'll compensate you with a new set of clothes after we return home. You can choose the brand."

Xiang Ran had her period yesterday, so her pants were a little dirty.

So she tied her shirt behind her buttocks when she was on the boat, but when she climbed under the water house, the shirt inevitably got bloody.

So before going ashore, she simply threw away her blood-stained and wet shirt.

She was only wearing a small tank top and was shivering with cold.

Finally, he took off Mo Shaohua's shirt and put it on.

"I didn't expect you to be so casual. You're quite different from my original impression." Mo Shaohua looked at her. "You know, I originally thought you were the kind of girl who would blush if I shook hands with you."

Xiang Ran smiled and touched her short hair. "Well... although I'm still young, I'm no longer a girl. I've already become a tough woman. Manager Mo, do you think I look tougher with my hair shorter?"

"Hey, now you're like a man who's having his period." Mo Shaohua shook his head. "Why? It's only been one night, and you're calling me Manager Mo again."

"It's just that I'm impressed by Manager Mo's generosity, so I use the honorific title to address him. Thanks to your shirt last night..." She patted the loose hair on her neck with a towel.

The movements were deliberately large, making him look more like a man.

"We are just hiding together under the awning to avoid the rain," Xiang Ran said.

"That's right, she's not a chaste and heroic woman from ancient times." Mo Shaohua coughed twice.

"Haha, a chaste woman wouldn't lose her chastity just because she wears another man's shirt and sits in the same room with a man. Besides, these days, the government doesn't even build chastity arches for chaste women. In the past, chaste women were honored, but what about now?"

Mo Shaohua was speechless.

After a while, he asked again, "Before I came, you were hiding under the wooden piles of the water house opposite the floating church?"

"I had found the target ahead of time and thought it was the best place to hide, so I called you and arranged to jump off the boat there. But I overestimated my physical strength. If I had known earlier, I would have arranged to jump off the boat a little closer so that I wouldn't have to swim so far! But Manager Mo, how did you get rid of those cars that were following you?"

Mo Shaohua rubbed his head disapprovingly. "What's so difficult about shaking off a few cars? I'm still a man after all. Besides, their target wasn't me, but you. It's just...how on earth did you endure it in that lake?"

"Probably... just like giving birth, ignorance is fearlessness. I didn't think too much about it at first."

"I thought it was the same river pond in my hometown, but after soaking in cold water for several hours, it was pitch black. From time to time, it seemed like some soft creature was touching my legs. I thought I was going to be bitten to death by a poisonous snake or a crocodile. If you had come a minute later, I would have surrendered and tried to save my life first and then find a solution." Xiang Ran was also scared and shrugged his shoulders.

I don't even want to recall it.

"The people who are looking for you are quite powerful. Uncle Juraka went out to inquire today. It seems that in addition to the water police, there are also people from the army. They will definitely check every household. I wonder if the method we thought of yesterday will work." Mo Shaohua said.

"It doesn't matter. If it's really him, I'm not afraid. It won't kill me immediately. As for you—if he's looking for me, he won't do anything to you." After saying that, Xiang Ran thought for a moment and said, "But based on what you said, it could be him. But he doesn't know that I can swim so well."

"So who is it? What is the identity of that man? Xiang Ran, we are friends for life and death, and you are still hiding it from me."

"I'm doing this for your own good. It's safer to keep some things secret! Manager Mo, you've already helped me so much, and I don't want to burden you further."

Mo Shaohua said anxiously: "Even if I don't get involved, I will get involved."

Xiang Ran: .....
