The Substitute Groom Chases His Wife - Chapter 302

Chapter 302: Won’t Be Able to Return
When An Nuan woke up the next morning, it was still raining. Fortunately, it was not raining as heavily as yesterday.

An Nuan walked over to the window and looked at the sky.

A breath of relief escaped her when she saw that it was going to stop raining soon.

Her eyes were still heavy and her head was throbbing.

Last night, she did not get a proper sleep. Every few hours, she would wake up from the sound of thunder. It was too cold even with the blanket pulled up to her chin.

An Nuan reached for her phone to check on the notification.

Last night, Lin Xiao Feng sent her a few texts, wanting to know her condition. The howl of the wind was quite scary. It sounded like something that she often heard from a horror movie.

However, not wanting to let her husband worry, An Nuan could only tell him that she was doing alright.

Fortunately, the power was not cut off during the storm.

She would be too scared if she had to stay alone in the dark.

An Nuan checked on the news and saw the report, saying that the storm had changed its direction.

For now, Capital City would be safe.

An Nuan hoped that the rain would stop soon.

This way, the people would be able to return to their home and Lin Xiao Feng would come back to her side.

An Nuan sent a few texts to her friends and family, telling them that she was safe. Then, she texted Auntie Yu, telling her not to take another day of rest.

A lot of roads were closed and the authorities were clearing the debris.

It might not be safe for anyone to travel.

As for her staff, An Nuan told them that they could work from home.

An Nuan stayed at home for the rest of the day.

She took her laptop in the living room, planning to look at some documents. In the end, An Nuan was always distracted.

The television was on with the news on last night’s storm playing non-stop.

An Nuan’s heart was heavy as she watched the news.

The news reported a few casualties from the storm.

A lot of people lose their homes and properties.

Right now, Lin Xiao Feng is busy helping the flood victims.

She wondered how he was doing.

Being apart for a day made her grow restless.

…

The ringing from her phone startled her.

An Nuan realized that she had accidentally fallen asleep while watching the news on the television.

She reached for her phone and sat up straight the moment she saw Lin Xiao Feng’s name on the screen.

“Lin Xiao Feng?”

“It’s me,” Lin Xiao Feng smiled when he heard his wife’s voice. He noticed the hint of sleepiness in her voice. “You were asleep?”

“Un. I did not get a good sleep last night,” An Nuan said.”I guess, I might accidentally fall asleep.”

“Go to bed if you are tired.”

“I know.”

There was a brief silence before Lin Xiao Feng spoke again. “Nuan Nuan, how are you?”

An Nuan could hear the hint of fatigue in Lin Xiao Feng’s voice.

It looks like he has been busy all day long.

Perhaps Lin Xiao Feng did not have any rest while he was at the shelter.

“I’m fine,” An Nuan answered. “Let’s not worry about me. Lin Xiao Feng, how are you? How is the situation out there? Wait. Let’s hang up. I’ll video call you.”

An Nuan had not seen Lin Xiao Feng since he left yesterday. She missed him terribly.

“No. There’s no time for that,” Lin Xiao Feng said. “I only called to know how you are doing. Later, I still have to go back and work. The situation here has not improved much. There are still a lot of things for me to do.”

The rain stopped a while ago. But the water was still. It was not known when the water would clear.

The victim of the flood was still unable to return home.

Currently, the shelter received a lot of help. They were busy distributing the food and other necessities to the victims. With his position, Lin Xiao Feng could not leave early.

“Nuan Nuan, I probably won’t be able to return home today.”

An Nuan froze upon hearing Lin Xiao Feng’s words.

“We are short of manpower. The people here needed me,” Lin Xiao Feng said. “I have to stay here until the end.”

An Nuan heard that the mayor was going to promote Lin Xiao Feng soon.

He had to work even harder and show his face more.

When An Nuan married Lin Xiao Feng, Grandfather Lin had mentioned about his career in politics. There are times when Lin Xiao Feng will have to prioritize other matters..

Back then, An Nuan told the old man that she did not mind letting Lin Xiao Feng focus on his career. She only thought that Lin Xiao Feng married her because he needed a wife for his career.

But their relationship was different now.

Their marriage was not what she had thought.

It was better than what she had expected.

They have feelings for each other.

An Nuan still understood Lin Xiao Feng’s ambition in his political career. However, she could not help wanting to be greedy. As his wife, she hoped that he could be by his side all the time.

“I understand,” An Nuan said. She was disappointed, knowing that she wouldn’t be able to see Lin Xiao Feng for another day. However, she did not have any choice.

An Nuan inhaled a deep breath and put on a smile so that Lin Xiao Feng would not worry. “I’m fine. Lin Xiao Feng, you should work hard without worrying about me. I’m safe, staying at home. But you… Lin Xiao Feng, you have to take care of yourself. Remember to eat even when you are busy.”

The corner of Lin Xiao Feng’s lips turned to into a smile. Hearing his wife worrying about him made him happy.
