Zhan Xiaoling's face darkened. He quickened his pace and ran out, opening the passenger door: "Catch up with them."

Luo Jing immediately started the car, while Zhan Xiaoling kept his eyes fixed on the road ahead: "Can you hurry up?"

Luo Jing gripped the steering wheel tightly in his arms and did not stop when he saw the red light.

Time was of the essence, so we rushed over.

Luxury cars cruised through the streets, with Zhan Xiaoling sitting in the passenger seat, staring into view.

We need to bring Su Xiaonuan back as quickly as possible; she's in great danger outside right now.

Once on the highway, Su Xiaonuan kept her eyes on the car and left immediately.

Living in the ancient city for several months allowed her to experience all the pain in her life.

She wished the car would go faster, eager to get home the next second, and never wanted to see Zhan Xiaoling again.

Even if it meant her immediate death, she wanted to leave the ancient city and go home to see her mother one last time.

How desperate must a little girl be, knowing that life can end at any moment?

I cried until my tears ran dry.

Su Xiaonuan lay in the back row, feeling weak all over, her face as pale as paper.

The taxi driver glanced in the rearview mirror and noticed that her eyes were tightly closed: "Miss, we're about to leave the ancient city. Where are you going? Is there a car to pick you up?"

Su Xiaonuan slightly opened her eyes: "Master, put me aside. No matter who asks you, please don't say that you pulled me over."

The taxi driver nodded: "Young lady, it's freezing cold, where are you planning to go?"

A young girl, looking haggard, lay silently in the back row.

If she needs help, the driver can choose to help her.

Su Xiaonuan closed her eyes and said, "I want to go home."

"Oh," the driver glanced at her.

Upon seeing the rest area on the highway, Su Xiaonuan said, "Driver, I'll get off here."

The taxi driver parked the car and opened the back door himself.

Su Xiaonuan handed the money to the other person, and a gust of cold wind made her shiver: "Thank you."

She has already left the ancient city, so Zhan Xiaoling won't come looking for her.

This is a service area. If you're lucky, you might run into a vehicle going to Beihai and get a ride home.

It's too cold, so Su Xiaonuan pulled her hat up and put it on her head to keep warm.

She went to the rest area restaurant, ordered a bowl of noodles with soybean paste, and sat down on a chair next to it: "Boss, do the buses going to Beihai often stop here to eat?"

The bus drivers often stop at service areas to eat, so the owner must know them well.

Whenever the driver passes by here, Su Xiaonuan takes the bus home.

The restaurant owner, a short-haired woman in her thirties, glanced at Su Xiaonuan and said, "Yes, sometimes the driver comes to eat."

"Do you have his contact information?" Su Xiaonuan asked, staring at the other person.

Get the landlady's contact information and call the bus driver to buy the tickets.

When they arrived at the service area, they picked me up and took me home.

The thought of going home filled Su Xiaonuan with excitement.

The scene of meeting my mother flashed through my mind.

While busy serving customers, the proprietress chatted with Su Xiaonuan: "I don't have their contact information. Are you planning to go back to Beihai?"

Su Xiaonuan nodded, and the proprietress looked at her.

The voice fell on her, tinged with doubt: "It's so cold, why didn't you choose to take the high-speed rail, plane, or train? Taking a bus is so much more difficult with the roads blocked."

If Zhan Xiaoling hadn't pushed her to the brink of death, why would she have dragged her crippled body to the service area in the freezing cold to wait for the bus?

After finishing her noodles with soybean paste, Su Xiaonuan admired the pleasant scenery of the service area and enjoyed the snow view from a small pavilion there.

Take a good look, because you won't see it again.

Many tourists stopped their cars and took photos to commemorate the occasion.

Su Xiaonuan weaved through the bustling crowd and spotted her at a glance.

With his hands in his pockets, he strolled alone, enjoying a rare moment of freedom.

Footsteps came from behind her, but Su Xiaonuan thought it was someone else and didn't pay attention.

When she turned around, she saw Zhan Xiaoling.

The two stared at each other for a long time, feeling each other's powerful aura through the cold air.

Su Xiaonuan's body trembled with tension, her eyes darted around, and she nervously bit her fingers.

Zhan Xiaoling's fair and handsome face was swollen on both sides, and he looked haggard. His gaze fell on Su Xiaonuan's forehead: "Xiaonuan, you came to see the snow scene, why didn't you take me with you?"

Knowing that their relationship was tense, Zhan Xiaoling broke the tension by chatting with Su Xiaonuan, making her lower her guard.

Su Xiaonuan ignored him with tears of grievance streaming down her face, and immediately turned her back to him.

Seeing Zhan Xiaoling slowly walking over, Su Xiaonuan took off running to the right.

Su Xiaonuan ran away, and Zhan Xiaoling started running.

With his long arms, he grabbed Su Xiaonuan and hugged her tightly: "Xiaonuan, I was wrong, please forgive me, okay? Let's go home and check right away."

Zhan Xiaoling held her tightly, and Su Xiaonuan became agitated, struggling and resisting fiercely: "Zhan Xiaoling, let me go, let me go."

Using both hands and feet, he raised his hand and slapped Zhan Xiaoling hard across the cheek.

Ignoring the pain in his cheek, Zhan Xiaoling carried Su Xiaonuan toward the car.

During the struggle, the two managed to knock Su Xiaonuan's hat off.

The glaring bandages made Zhan Xiaoling tear up as he gently stroked Su Xiaonuan's forehead: "Xiaonuan, I..."

How much pain must it have hurt when you bumped into Su Xiaonuan? Why didn't you show it? Why didn't you tell me?

Zhan Xiaoling grabbed Su Xiaonuan's hand and slapped his own cheek hard.

Su Xiaonuan was terrified and pulled her hand back: "Let go of me, you madman..."

Zhan Xiaoling grabbed her left hand: "I'm a bastard, kill me if you want, go ahead and hit me."

Knowing that Su Xiaonuan disliked him very much, he hoped that Su Xiaonuan would hit him to vent his dissatisfaction.

Being beaten up by Su Xiaonuan made Zhan Xiaoling feel a little better.

There's no going back in life; you can't undo the damage you've done to the other person.

"I'll beat you to death and then hold me legally responsible? I'm not that stupid. Let me go!" Su Xiaonuan said.

Zhan Xiaoling pulled up Su Xiaonuan's right hand and continued hitting her: "Come home with me and get a proper check-up?"

Zhan Xiaoling's face was covered with red and swollen handprints, and his once handsome face was now bruised and swollen.

Unable to even control her own hands, Su Xiaonuan cried out in despair, "My hands hurt..."

Zhan Xiaoling stopped, his face swollen and in excruciating pain. He gritted his teeth and gently blew on his wife's hands, rubbing them: "Shall we go home?"

Su Xiaonuan burst into tears, her sobs filled with helplessness and desolation: "Zhan Xiaoling, I'm going to die. My only dream now is to leave the ancient city. Please, for my sake, spare me..."

Zhan Xiaoling's tears streamed down her swollen cheeks.

He held Su Xiaonuan tightly: "You are my wife, I will not let you die. I will find the best doctor in the world to operate on you, and we will be together forever."

Su Xiaonuan pushed him away excitedly, but Zhan Xiaoling wouldn't let go.

The next second, Su Xiaonuan slowly closed her eyes, her face pale and her lips purple.

Just as he was about to fall to the ground, Zhan Xiaoling caught him.

Seeing that Su Xiaonuan was not breathing, bright red bloodstains were visible through the white gauze on the back of her head.

Zhan Xiaoling held Su Xiaonuan and cried, "Su Xiaonuan, if you die, what will I do? Don't leave me, please, I was wrong..."
