Let's go back to the previous night.

A man in the forest wandered around, searching for something.

Gu Chaomu originally planned to leave and return to the team.

We've reached the halfway point.

Hearing the howling of wolves coming from afar, they couldn't help but stop in their tracks.

He recalled the agreement he had reached with Chief Joe.

They had no choice but to return to where they started and search for Qiao Wanwan.

Gu Chaomu thought,

She was a frail woman.

With an injured foot, how could I possibly walk too far?

They must still be lingering nearby, waiting for him to return somewhere.

Otherwise, they'll get carried off by wolves!

Gu Chaomu grew increasingly anxious as she thought about it, her face turning ashen.

She couldn't be so stupid as to not resist being carried away by a wolf, could she?

He didn't hear the woman's cries for help, so that shouldn't be the case.

He lingered for a long time at the place where he had left Qiao Wanwan.

He searched all night but couldn't find a living person.

The night passed just like that.

Until morning, when the sky was bright.

He then returned to the original spot to check where Qiao Wanwan might be hiding.

Finally, in a depression in a slope.

They found the threads of the pale blue dress left on the tree branch.

The man crouched down and picked up the silk threads from the tree branch.

His eyes were filled with anger.

The muscles in his face were taut and throbbing from clenching his teeth.

"... "

He looked at the grass on the ground, which looked like it had been trampled flat.

Don't even think about it.

That woman must have already left the forest and returned to the camp.

Gu Chaomu is now absolutely certain!!!

A surge of anger slowly welled up inside me.

They didn't even tell him before leaving without a word?

He wasted his entire night searching for her, unable to get a proper night's sleep, and wasted all his time looking for this wretched woman!

What a despicable liar!!

The man gripped the thread tightly, and the internal force he released tore it off.

Their eyes were blazing with anger, and they were spouting harsh words.

"I want to see if Qiao Wanwan has really gone back."

Done.

The man then got up and left the forest.

...

Gu Chaomu returned to the camp at dawn on the second day.

As he approached the camp, Xie Ze's men came over, clasped their hands in a respectful gesture, and inquired about the situation.

"Young Master Gu, you're finally back! My master has been looking for you all this time."

The first thing Gu Chaomu said when she saw the person was:

"Qiao Wanwan, has she returned?"

The guard was also taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

"Miss Qiao returned last night."

A positive answer was received.

Gu Chaomu's face instantly turned ashen, and she said through gritted teeth:

"Wow! Qiao Wanwan, you're really something!"

He stared at the distance and walked straight towards Qiao Wanwan's carriage.

Anyone passing by could tell that Young Master Gu, who had just returned, seemed to be very angry.

Zhou Xinyue stood at the carriage door, worried about Gu Chaomu, but completely indifferent.

When she saw Gu Chaomu return, her eyes lit up.

Seeing him return safe and sound, all my worries turned into joy.

He shouted loudly:

"Brother Gu, you're finally back. Xinyue was so worried about you."

"... "

But the man opposite her seemed not to have heard her words.

They walked aggressively straight to another place.

Zhou Xinyue was also momentarily stunned.

Looking in the direction he was heading, wasn't that Qiao Wanwan's carriage?

The happiness on her face slowly faded.

When Brother Gu returned, he didn't go to see her first, but to see Sister Wanwan?

His lips drooped, and his face revealed his unhappiness.

"Miss, Young Master Gu seems very angry. Should we go over and take a look?"

"Go, of course."

Zhou Xinyue flicked her sleeves and followed with her maid Xiao Cui.

...

Before Gu Chaomu even reached the carriage, he had already started yelling in a loud, irritable voice.

"Qiao Wanwan, you get the hell out here."

The woman drinking the sweet soup inside was stunned by the sound.

The sugar water I drank almost got swallowed into my trachea and I choked.

"Cough cough!"

What happened?

She listened carefully,

The male voice calling her name could still be heard outside.

Wasn't that Gu Chaomu's voice?

"???"

Qiao Wanwan was completely bewildered.

He's back, so why is he shouting her name so aggressively?

"Qiao Wanwan, get out here right now."

Annoyed by the noise outside, Qiao Wanwan opened the curtain and went downstairs.

The man saw a woman alight from the carriage, dressed in light pink, and looking quite well.

Judging from the way she walks, she doesn't look like an injured person at all.

Gu Chaomu felt that he had been thoroughly deceived by this woman last night.

I felt annoyed.

Qiao Wanwan saw that Gu Chaomu had a dark face, and Zhou Xinyue and others were following behind him.

She asked with a hint of confusion:

"Brother Gu, you're back. Why are you so angry?"

"Hmph! What else do you want to say?"

"what happened?"

The man looked at the innocent girl's face and thought to himself how wicked she was.

All of this on the surface is just an act.

Pretend to make him worry and feel pity for him?

He had seen this kind of tactic of playing hard to get with Qiao Wanwan many times before.

I'm really kind.

They actually believed her endless lies.

He even wasted an entire night searching for her in the woods!

The man was furious.

He stepped forward and secretly clenched his hands.

Without the woman reacting, he pushed her shoulder.

With a "click".

As a woman with no fighting skills was suddenly and ruthlessly pushed to the ground by a man.

"hiss!"

When Qiao Wanwan fell to the ground, her palms hit the ground, scraping against the gravel, causing a burning pain.

She could clearly feel it.

My palms slowly became warm and wet, and a little blood seeped out.

Because of her fall, the surrounding air became completely silent.

Zhou Xinyue, standing behind him, was shocked to see Gu Chaomu attack Qiao Wanwan and covered her mouth in surprise.

Gu Chaomu also came to his senses. He had only given a gentle push, but he hadn't expected the other party to be so weak.

She pushed him to the ground.

I couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

But then I thought,

She designed her own work.

The slightest bit of guilt I felt vanished instantly.

Qiao Wanwan looked down at her palm, and sure enough, blood slowly oozed out.

His chest was filled with anger, and his heart was filled with resentment.

She has never been hit by anyone in her entire life.

Even his parents from his previous life were gone.

Not to mention the original owner's father in this life.

He's a doting father, how could he possibly bear to let her get hurt even a little bit?

But now, for real, I've been pushed to the ground by that annoying man.

The pain in her palm stimulated her nerves.

Her eyes slowly filled with red, glistening with tears, swirling in their sockets.

I feel extremely wronged.

She looked up and glared angrily at Gu Chaomu, then shouted in bewilderment:

"Gu Chaomu, what's wrong with you? Did I offend you? Why are you hitting me?"
