(Era Setting, Marriage Substitution, First Marriage Then Love, Ruthless Against Villains) After a car accident, Xia Yuhuan wakes up and realizes she has transmigrated into a novel set in the 1970s....
Chapter 183: He Became the One Who Stole His Wife
"I'm fine, I'm perfectly fine. Look, I don't have a single injury on me," Xia Yuhuan said with a smile.
Yan Hu relaxed upon hearing this.
He raised his hand and lightly tapped her forehead.
"You, how can you still laugh? You have no idea how my heart almost jumped out of my chest when I received the news."
"At such a tight time, you were asked to come to the south of the city, which completely disrupted my plans."
"But you still managed to successfully capture Xia Jianyong, didn't you?" Xia Yuhuan said with a grin.
"Uncle Yan, you're incredibly amazing!"
Yan Hu, unable to maintain his serious expression after being praised, shook his head helplessly and smiled.
"I'm glad you're alright. Let's go, I'll take you home first."
"Okay, thank you, Uncle Yan. You've worked hard, Uncle Yan," Xia Yuhuan replied obediently.
Yan Hu told the others to leave, while he drove Xia Yuhuan home.
When Xia Yuhuan returned home, she discovered that neither Chi Shaokang nor Zhang Xianya had gone to work.
Upon seeing her return, Zhang Xianya rushed over, grabbed her, looked her up and down, and asked her anxiously.
"Xiao Huan, how are you? Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere? If you are hurt, please tell me."
Xia Yuhuan cooperated with Zhang Xianya's movements, letting her pull her around left and right, raising and lowering her hands.
He said, "Mom, don't worry, I'm fine. Uncle Yan is amazing. In such a short time, he managed to set up a trap and catch Xia Jianyong in one fell swoop."
Zhang Xianya breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
"You child, sigh..." Zhang Xianya sighed.
She couldn't blame anyone, after all, Xia Yuhuan had to take the risk for her grandfather's safety.
Zhang Xianya thought for a moment, then asked, "By the way, where is your grandfather? Didn't he come back with you?"
Xia Yuhuan shook her head: "Grandpa is fine. Xia Jianyong just used Grandpa as an excuse to lie to me."
Actually, she had guessed before that Xia Jianyong kidnapping her grandfather was just an excuse to trick her into going out.
But she didn't dare to gamble.
After all, he was her grandfather. He was the best person to the original owner of the body before she came to the Chi family, and also her only relative. How could she ignore her grandfather's safety just because she was afraid?
"Xia Jianyong is really wicked. How can a person be so evil? He only uses his bad intentions on his own family members." Zhang Xianya frowned.
However, he immediately added, "But this is a blessing in disguise, at least your grandfather is alright."
Xia Yuhuan nodded, "Yes, thankfully Grandpa is alright."
Otherwise, how could she face the original owner of this body?
“But a person like Xia Jianyong doesn’t deserve to have a family, and I’m not his family either,” Xia Yuhuan added.
She didn't want to get involved with someone like Xia Jianyong.
Even from a bloodline perspective, they have an unbreakable relationship.
“Yes, Xiao Huan is right.” Zhang Xianya immediately agreed.
She was talking to Xia Yuhuan when she felt a resentful gaze fall on her, which surprised her.
Turning her head, she saw her son staring intently at her and Xia Yuhuan.
Zhang Xianya couldn't help but chuckle.
She leaned close to Xia Yuhuan's ear and said, "Xiao Huan, go to Yan Zhou's place and let him see you. I think he's about to turn into a statue waiting for his wife."
Xia Yuhuan turned her head and saw Chi Yanzhou staring at her.
Seeing her look at him, his tense expression relaxed, and a smile appeared on his lips.
Zhang Xianya chuckled, released her hand and gently pushed her: "Go on, or I'll be seen as the bad guy who stole his wife."
Xia Yuhuan blushed with embarrassment after being teased by Zhang Xianya.
She could only force herself to remain calm and walked towards Chi Yanzhou.
Xia Yuhuan squatted down beside him and asked, "Why did you get down? Are your feet hurting today?"
Chi Yanzhou, disregarding the presence of the elders in the hall, grasped her hand and couldn't help but say, "What a silly girl."
Xia Yuhuan frowned: "Where am I stupid? Chi Yanzhou, speak properly."
She puffed out her cheeks, looking as if she would punish him if he couldn't explain himself.
"You were just kidnapped, went through danger, and almost got into trouble, but instead of worrying about yourself, you're worried about whether my foot is okay. Aren't you stupid?"
Chi Yanzhou held her hand tightly and whispered something to her.
"I'm fine, what's there to worry about? Humph." Xia Yuhuan snorted.
She always felt exceptionally relaxed in front of the Chi family.
Whether in front of her in-laws or in front of Chi Yanzhou.
Xia Yuhuan felt that she was probably really reluctant to leave the Chi family, and that she would never be able to escape in this lifetime.
"But I'm worried," Chi Yanzhou whispered gently.
He took Xia Yuhuan's hand and brought it to his lips, kissing it gently.
"What would I do if something happened to you?"
Xia Yuhuan didn't expect him to suddenly make such an intimate gesture.
This is still in the living room downstairs, and the elders are not far away!
This person is far too audacious!
Xia Yuhuan, feeling guilty, went to check on Chi Shaokang and the others.
But then she saw him talking to Yan Hu, and Zhang Xianya was also listening nearby.
They probably didn't notice what was happening on their side.
She quickly withdrew her hand and whispered, "Don't do that. We're still outside, and Mom and Dad are here. Be mindful of your behavior."
Her furtive and guilty look was so cute that Chi Yanzhou couldn't help but chuckle.
"Does Ayu mean that it's okay as long as no one is in the room?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Yuhuan couldn't help but raise a question mark.
What does that mean? Is Chi Yanzhou making a suggestive joke?
She gritted her teeth and said, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'm not talking to you anymore."
Chi Yanzhou smiled, but on the surface he cooperated and said, "Okay, I won't talk nonsense, I'll be good, alright?"
Seeing that he cooperated, Xia Yuhuan snorted, "That's more like it. You'd better listen to me obediently from now on, or else..."
Over here, the young couple was whispering to each other, unaware that over there, three people were huddled together, seemingly talking seriously, but actually quietly chirping at the two of them.
Zhang Xianya: "Judging from their performance, things are going well. It seems like there's potential."
Chi Shaokang: "They were already legally married, so isn't it normal for them to be together?"
Zhang Xianya rolled her eyes at him: "Who said that getting a marriage certificate means you have to be together? Xiao Huan is young, beautiful, and capable. Why should she be hung up on one person?"
“If your son can’t attract Xiao Huan, she’ll definitely want a divorce, and then she can find a great man to marry.”
"Even if she doesn't get married, she can live a very comfortable life on her own."
Chi Shaokang: "..."
Although it sounds harsh, it is the truth.
His wife is indeed very good and outstanding; she can live without anyone else.
Thinking about it this way, why am I suddenly a little worried?
Yan Hu: "They kissed."
Upon hearing this, Chi Shaokang and Zhang Xianya were immediately excited and couldn't help but turn around to look at the two of them.
But then Yan Hu said, "Xiao Zhou kissed Xiao Huan's hand."
Chi Shaokang: "..."
Zhang Xianya: "..."
The two of them rolled their eyes at him.
Zhang Xianya gritted her teeth: "Next time you speak, can you please not leave things unsaid? I thought they were really kissing."
Yan Hu narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems like Xiao Huan is scolding Xiao Zhou, and Xiao Zhou is listening obediently."
"I reckon Xiao Zhou will be henpecked in the future," Yan Hu concluded.
