The Rough Hunter's Little Lucky Wife Chapter 207 – Chapter 207 Meeting

207 Meeting

“Be careful!”

A familiar voice suddenly sounded. Yue Jiaojiao’s heart settled and she subconsciously looked up.

…

Zhao Zhan grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. The two of them barely dodged the horse’s hooves and took two steps back, almost falling to the ground. Zhao Zhan steadied himself first and looked her up and down. “Jiaojiao, are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?”

Only when they met did Yue Jiaojiao realize that her longing for him was deeper than she had originally thought.

Zhao Zhan’s face was still wrapped in a face cloth, revealing only his bloodshot eyes. His hair was a mess, and there was a gray mark on his forehead. He was exhausted and in a sorry state.

“Zhao Zhan, how many days have you not slept?”

His skin had become darker, but the dark circles under his eyes were still as obvious as before, worse even.

As she spoke, she took out her handkerchief and tiptoed to wipe his face, but Zhao Zhan grabbed her wrist. “Thank goodness you’re fine. Let me bring you back first.”

Zhao Zhan took off the bamboo hat hanging on the horse and put it on her head. Then, he carried her on the horse and returned to the Heart Hall. The two of them went back to their room from the back door. Once Zhao Zhan entered the room, he did not bother to bring hot water. He directly washed his face with cold water and walked to the table.

Yue Jiaojiao poured him a cup of tea.

“Jiaojiao, I followed those two people to Yang City to ask around.”

Yue Jiaojiao watched as his lips moved, but he stopped mid-sentence and picked up the cup of tea on the table to finish it in one gulp. He glanced at her face and asked in a low voice, “You’ve been doing acupuncture for the past few days. Have you recovered your memory?”

“I remember some fragmented images, but I can’t connect them yet.”

Yue Jiaojiao looked exhausted.

These days, perhaps because her memory was coming back from time to time, she basically found it difficult to sleep every night. Especially when Zhao Zhan was not by her side, the cold blanket gave her a headache.

Even though Doctor Sun had prescribed medicine, the effect was minimal.

In just five short days, not only did Zhao Zhan’s face become haggard and thin, but Yue Jiaojiao also rapidly lost weight. Her originally small chin was obviously sharp.

“Zhao Zhan, if you’ve found out something, just say it. We’ve been struggling for so long because of this matter, it’s time to come to a conclusion.”

“I heard that your parents were well-known kind-hearted wealthy merchants in Yang City. Their family’s business involved many people, but the family members were complicated. Your father was the head of the Yue family and was in charge of the Shang Seal. Three years ago, your parents encountered mountain bandits on their way to the capital to patrol the shops, and both of them passed away.

“After they passed away, the Yue family’s seal was handed over to the second branch. As for why you went North to look for your relatives, the people in the city said that your parents had died and you were grieving. In order to ease your heart, the family sent you to your uncle’s house in Bei City. Apparently, you lived in your uncle’s house for three years when you were young.”

As Zhao Zhan spoke, he sized up Yue Jiaojiao’s expression. Seeing that her expression was calm and unchanged, he deliberated for a moment before continuing.

“But now, the Yue family has announced to the public that you met with an accident on your way to find your relative and have lost your life.

“The two people I followed have also left Yang City to report to the family after hearing this news.”

No matter how much Yue Jiaojiao thought about it, she would never have predicted that her background would be like this.

Perhaps it was because she had just been frightened by the horse that had crashed into her on the street, Yue Jiaojiao’s head was throbbing with pain. It was as if someone was going to hit her with a plane, and she wanted to scream.
