The Substitute Groom Chases His Wife - Chapter 301

Chapter 301: I Will Be Waiting For You
An Nuan heaved softly as she heard the hint of worry in her mother’s voice.

She quickly reminded herself to calm down so that her mother would not notice her anxiety. “Mom, I’m fine. I’m staying at home and have not gone out. Xiao Feng mentioned the upcoming storm and reminded me to stay home.”

Shi Xi was relieved to hear that her daughter was in a safe place.

Y City and Capital City were far apart.

The storm was coming to Capital City but Y City was far away and safe from it.

An Nuan spent a long time assuring her mother that she would be fine. However, she did not mention to her mother that Lin Xiao Feng was away. An Nuan did not want the elders to worry.

An Nuan was listening to her mother’s reminder when she noticed an incoming call.

Seeing Lin Xiao Feng’s name, An Nuan quickly found an excuse to end the phone call with her mother to answer Lin Xiao Feng’s call.

“Lin Xiao Feng?” An Nuan’s voice was anxious.

“Nuan Nuan.” Lin Xiao Feng heaved in relief when he finally heard his wife’s voice. He was worried when An Nuan did not pick up his phone call as early as usual. Lin Xiao Feng had thought that something had happened to his wife. “Are you alright? Have you returned home?”

“I’m fine. I reached home a while ago,” An Nuan said. “Just now, I was talking to my mom. She heard about the incoming storm and was worried.”

Lin Xiao Feng was able to put his heart at ease upon hearing that his wife was all right.

“You got the warning?” Lin Xiao Feng said. “Nuan Nuan, don’t come out and stay at home. The storm will pass soon.”

“I know.” Her heart warmed, knowing that Lin Xiao Feng was worried for her. “But Lin Xiao Feng, what about you? When are you coming home?” An Nuan glanced at the kitchen where she was planning to prepare a meal for Lin Xiao Feng.

An Nuan made a mental reminder to boil some ginger soup for Lin Xiao Feng when he returned.

There was a long silence on Lin Xiao Feng’s part.

An Nuan frowned, wondering if the phone call was disconnected.

“Lin Xiao Feng?” An Nuan called his name.

Her voice snapped Lin Xiao Feng out of his trance. He was reminded of the reason he had called his wife at this time.

“Nuan Nuan…” Lin Xiao Feng’s voice was a whisper. “I’m sorry. I won’t be able to go home today.”

Her heart sank upon hearing Lin Xiao Feng’s words. She was expecting her husband to return home. But it seemed that she wouldn’t be able to see him.

Then, will she have to stay home alone?

An Nuan shivered at the thought.

Recently, she was getting used to having Lin Xiao Feng around her.

The man would return to their bedroom and hug her to sleep no matter how late.

This would be the first night they were separated after they got together.

“The weather is getting worse,” Lin Xiao Feng said. “It was advised for us not to leave the shelter..”

“It’s alright,” An Nuan said quickly so that Lin Xiao Feng would not feel so bad. “It’s better for you to stay there until the weather gets better. If you leave now, I will only worry. The most important thing is your safety. Driving at this time is too dangerous.”

An Nuan had to drive slowly as she returned home earlier. She could not see clearly with the rain pouring down.

Fortunately, she arrived home safely.

“But I’m worried about you,” Lin Xiao Feng said.

Lin Xiao Feng knew that An Nuan was afraid of the dark.

He still remembered how she could not sleep after watching a horror movie with Han Yue Xiu.

He could not feel at ease to leave An Nuan at home alone during this storm.

Lin Xiao Feng could picture his wife’s imagination running wild when she was alone.

If he knew that the storm would be coming earlier, he would ask An Nuan to stay the night at Han Yue Xiu’s place. At least An Nuan would not be alone.

“Lin Xiao Feng, don’t worry about me. I’m an adult,” An Nuan said. “You should focus on your job. Once the storm passes, you can come home quickly. I will be waiting for you.”

A faint smile appeared on his lips.

Lin Xiao Feng knew that An Nuan only wanted to make him feel at ease.

“Listen to me.” Lin Xiao Feng’s voice turned serious again.

While he had the chance to talk to his wife, Lin Xiao Feng told An Nuan to grab a torchlight along with some other items and stay in their bedroom.

An Nuan was afraid of staying alone, especially in this bad weather. However, she could only pretend to be brave as she did not want Lin Xiao Feng to worry.

After saying a few more words, the couple was forced to end their phone call.

Lin Xiao Feng was still busy and had a lot of things to do at the shelter.

The people needed him more.

An Nuan did not have much appetite after knowing that Lin Xiao Feng would not return home.

She grabbed a few snacks before heading upstairs.

Lin Xiao Feng told her to stay in their bedroom and that was what An Nuan planned to do.

With a few necessities with her, she won’t have to go downstairs until the morning.

An Nuan kept her phone close to her and constantly checked the news about the storm.

She was worried about her husband. But at this time, there was nothing else that she could do but pray for his safety.

The wind was howling outside. The rain sounded harsh on the window. Once in a while, the sound of thunder could be heard.

It was quite scary.

An Nuan wrapped the quilt cover around her body to stay warm and safe.

The lights were switched on so that she wouldn’t have to be scared.

Without Lin Xiao Feng by her side, the bed seemed larger and colder.
