The Substitute Groom Chases His Wife - Chapter 298

Chapter 298: Missing Her Husband
When An Nuan woke up again, it was still raining heavily outside.

She tightened the bathrobe around her shoulder and stood in front of the window to look at the scenery outside.

The sky was still gray and doesn’t seem as if it was going to stop raining anytime soon.

Her brow furrowed with worry.

An Nuan remembered that Lin Xiao Feng had left in the middle of the night because of the rain.

Seeing that Lin Xiao Feng did not text her, An Nuan assumed that Lin Xiao Feng was too busy.

She scrolled the internet and saw a few news reports that the water level rose in some parts of the city, forcing the people around the residential area to move out.

However, the water rose while everyone was still sleeping soundly. There were a lot of people who was not aware of the flood.

The authorities were now busy helping the residents to move out to a safer place.

An Nuan guessed that Lin Xiao Feng should be helping as well.

She could only hope that Lin Xiao Feng would be safe.

After looking at the scenery for a while, An Nuan turned around to get dressed.

The main door was pushed open from the outside just as An Nuan walked down the stairs. Her eyes lit up, thinking that Lin Xiao Feng had returned. However, the person who entered the house was Auntie Yu.

The older woman shook the rain off her body before raising her head to meet An Nuan’s eyes.

“Madam, you’re awake.”

“Hmm…” An Nuan nodded. “I can’t sleep well in this weather.”

“Then, I will hurry and prepare breakfast,” Auntie Yu said. “You should be hungry.”

“Auntie Yu, you can take your time. I’m not in a hurry.”

“What about the master?” Auntie Yu asked. “Will he be having breakfast together with you?”

In the beginning, Auntie Yu would always prepare breakfast for An Nuan alone as Lin Xiao Feng would leave for work too early. But after they had returned from their vacation, the couple’s relationship turned better and Lin Xiao Feng would accompany his wife for breakfast before leaving.

“He won’t be joining today,” An Nuan said. “My husband left earlier today. It has been raining heavily since last night. Auntie Yu, I think you should have heard about the flood in a certain part of the city. My husband went out to look at the situation.”

“Right. I have also heard about the situation on the news,” Auntie Yu said. “The water was rising too quickly and a lot of people did not have time to move out. I saw some photos on the internet. It didn’t look good.”

Thinking of those people who were affected by the flood made Auntie Yu sigh. It won’t be easy for them to recover.

“Then, Auntie Yu, what about the area where you’re staying?” An Nuan asked.

“Fortunately, I live in a slightly higher area.”

After exchanging a few words, Auntie Yu walked into the kitchen to start working.

An Nuan sat in the living room while reading a few emails from work.

She seemed to remember Lin Xiao Feng telling her to stay at home if she did not have any other important matters. But, An Nuan still has to go out. She planned to visit Master Meng’s disciple and look at the man’s workshop.

An Nuan did not want to delay in preparing Lin Xiao Feng’s wedding ring.

“Madam, your breakfast is ready.”

An Nuan snapped out of her thoughts upon hearing Auntie Yu’s words.

She put down the tablet in her hand and walked over to the dining area.

Auntie Yu prepared some warm porridge for her to warm her body.

An Nuan ate her meal slowly. But after drinking a bit of the porridge, she no longer has any appetite.

She was drinking some warm porridge but what about Lin Xiao Feng? She wondered if he had a proper meal.

After having her breakfast, An Nuan went upstairs and picked up her bags.

Auntie Yu was about to start preparing for lunch when An Nuan came down again.

An Nuan peeked at the gray sky outside the window and wondered when it would stop raining.

“Madam, are you leaving now?” Auntie Yu asked when she noticed An Nuan’s presence.

“Hmm…” An Nuan nodded. “I have an appointment that I cannot miss.”

“Then, Madam, you have to be very careful. It’s raining heavily.”

“I know.” An Nuan smiled. She was about to leave when she was reminded of another matter. “Auntie Yu, why don’t you head home earlier?”

“Ah?” The older woman looked surprised. “But Madam, I still have a lot of work to do.”

“Just pretend as if I’m giving you a half day off,” An Nuan said. “It’s raining too hard. I’m worried that you will be trapped in the rain on your way back. Getting a cab would be difficult at a time like this.”

Auntie Yu started to hesitate upon hearing An Nuan’s words.

“Auntie Yu, you have been cleaning this house every day. Missing it for one day won’t make it dirty.”

“Then, what about your meal?”

“You don’t have to worry about that as well. My husband and I planned to have our meal outside today.”

Auntie Yu sighed. “Then, I will have to trouble you, Madam.”

With An Nuan’s insistence, Auntie You could only agree.

Auntie Yu packed up her bag and followed An Nuan to her car.

An Nuan dropped Auntie Yu back to her residential area and told her that she did not have to come tomorrow if the rain continued. It would be troublesome if Auntie Yu was trapped in the rain.

Then, An Nuan drove her car to her next location.

Because of the weather, An Nuan had to drive slower.

Once she reached her location, An Nuan took out her phone and noticed that Lin Xiao Feng had texted her while she was driving.

The light in her eyes lit up and An Nuan tapped her finger on the screen in excitement.

She has not realized just how much she has been missing her husband.
