632: Chapter 621: Why Didn’t You Tell Me Back Then 632: Chapter 621: Why Didn’t You Tell Me Back Then Ning Fan and the others made it back to Zhonghai without a hitch.
After arriving in Zhonghai, the Four King Kongs returned to report to Chen Fengnan, while Ning Fan stayed with Huo Qiuran.
They returned to Huo Qiuran’s villa in Zhonghai.
Dragging the long train of her wedding dress, Huo Qiuran had difficulty moving, and in the end, it was Ning Fan who carried her in with a princess hold, causing Huo Qiuran to blush with shyness.
It was as if they had returned to the sweetest time in their relationship; Huo Qiuran’s eyes were filled with deep affection, and every now and then when she was with Ning Fan, a sweet smile would appear on her face.
“You’re still hurt, sit down and rest quickly!”
Gently caressing the wounds on Ning Fan’s face with her hand, Huo Qiuran’s eyes were full of concern.
She urged him to put her down quickly.
Ning Fan ignored her and carried her back to the bedroom because Huo Qiuran’s clothes were there.
She couldn’t stay in her wedding dress forever, despite its beauty…
“Sit down quickly, there’s a first aid kit in my room.
Those wounds need to be disinfected!”
Just to be safe, Huo Qiuran didn’t consider how formidable Ning Fan was; she was only worried about his wounds getting infected.
So she immediately dug out the first-aid kit and started tending to Ning Fan’s wounds with medical gauze and antiseptic.
Looking at Huo Qiuran’s anxious behavior, Ning Fan laughed, to which she frowned and retorted, “I’m concerned about you, what’s there to laugh at?”
“It’s nothing, I just felt like laughing…” Ning Fan said, and as he spoke, he raised his hand, his fingers gliding over Huo Qiuran’s smooth and delicate cheeks, “Why didn’t you tell me?”
Holding the medical gauze, Huo Qiuran’s hand paused mid-air.
She was stunned for a moment, then a nonchalant smile appeared on her face, and she began to bandage Ning Fan’s wounds, cleaning the blood from his face.
“I’m sorry, I misunderstood you for so long!” Seeing Huo Qiuran not responding, although he knew she didn’t blame him, Ning Fan still couldn’t help but feel heartache.
When they had just returned and encountered each other, he had pretended not to see or recognize Huo Qiuran, and later on, he had completely ignored her.
This must have been incredibly painful for her.
Putting himself in her shoes and thinking from her perspective, Ning Fan brought himself into that time when he had misunderstood Huo Qiuran and felt that his actions had been excessive.
How could he be so cruel to a woman who would rather get hurt herself than see him harmed!
“It’s okay, it’s all in the past now, and aren’t you here with me?”
Huo Qiuran said indifferently.
She didn’t know why, but she always felt easily content by Ning Fan’s side.
Even the previous misunderstandings didn’t matter.
As long as Ning Fan was safe, she was naturally satisfied, and what was more important, they had already reconciled, hadn’t they?
The past was past.
Huo Qiuran didn’t care about what had happened before.
Although feeling somewhat aggrieved when Ning Fan brought it up, the simple fact that the misunderstandings had been cleared was enough to make her content.
Ning Fan instinctively wanted to call her a fool again.
He embraced Huo Qiuran in his arms, and the pain from the disinfectant-treated wounds on his face was now unnoticeable because of the emotional warmth he felt.
“Huo Family, are you really not planning to go back?”
Ning Fan suddenly asked this question.
After all, those people were Huo Qiuran’s blood relatives.
Could Huo Qiuran truly sever these ties?
Whether she could sever them or not didn’t matter to Ning Fan.
He didn’t care whether Huo Qiuran still had a relationship with the Huo Family; he was only worried that these issues might make her sad.
“I am now a woman of the Ning Family.” Huo Qiuran spoke softly, her face blushed, and her demure demeanor was very endearing.
Unfortunately, her face was buried in Ning Fan’s chest, and he couldn’t see it.
Upon hearing this, Ning Fan’s expression immediately became awkward.
The wedding dress Huo Qiuran wore today was not for Shangguan Yunyang, but it seemed as if it had been prepared in anticipation of his arrival.
Being able to show the beloved man the sight of herself in a wedding dress filled Huo Qiuran with joy.
The person she most wanted to see her beautiful appearance in a wedding dress was none other than Ning Fan, who was beside her at the moment.
The bride-snatching action today was a huge success.
Ning Fan did not leave himself with regrets, nor did he allow his mistakes to become irreparable.
If he hadn’t gone today, he would have let not only himself down but even more so Huo Qiuran, who always thought of him and had been good to him!
“You’re not speaking.
Do you not want to take responsibility?”
Huo Qiuran suddenly lifted her head, her eyes watery, displaying a pitiable and aggrieved look.
Of course, this was an act—how could Ning Fan not understand her?
“I’ve already snatched you away, where would I give you a chance to escape my clutches!”
…
As Ning Fan’s bride-snatching succeeded, the matter was fermenting throughout Jiangcheng.
Even though the Shangguan Family and Huo Family tried to suppress it, they couldn’t keep it hidden, at most people just wouldn’t discuss it openly for the time being.
Within a day, many people were secretly laughing at the spectacle.
At the Huo Family in Jiangcheng, everyone was as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
The people from the Shangguan Family were currently blocking their door, and in the courtyard, many experts from the Shangguan Family were standing all around the Huo residence.
In the main hall, Huo Yuanshan, the Family Head of the Huo Family, was confronting Shangguan Tenglong, Head of the Shangguan Family, with sweat covering his forehead.
Shangguan Tenglong’s face was dark with anger as he glared at Huo Yuanshan, with Shangguan Yunyang beside him wearing a similarly grim expression.
The bride being snatched had dealt a blow to the Shangguan Family’s reputation.
And as the victim and aggrieved party, Shangguan Yunyang felt even more wronged.
The credit for Ning Fan’s arrival in Jiangcheng to snatch the bride also partly belonged to him; eating this mute’s loss and suffering such a humiliation, it would be strange if his face could brighten up.
“Where is she, where is Huo Qiuran!” Shangguan Tenglong extended his hand demanding the person, making a fuss for the Huo Family to hand over Huo Qiuran.
Huo Yuanshan, with a face full of frustration, could only respond with a forced smile, “This…
Brother Shangguan, you couldn’t possibly be unaware of the situation at that time!”
At that moment, a master at the peak of the True Yuan Realm made a sudden appearance, which no one had anticipated.
If it hadn’t been for Zhu Xuetao, could Ning Fan and the rest really have escaped?
To say that Huo Qiuran was taken away, the Huo Family could hardly be blamed, right?
Who would have thought that a master at the peak of the True Yuan Realm would jump out with nothing better to do, intent on upholding justice?
This was what Huo Yuanshan was thinking, but it didn’t mean Shangguan Tenglong thought the same.
Huo Qiuran was a member of the Huo Family, and now she was missing.
Where was the Shangguan Family supposed to put their face?
Moreover, they couldn’t very well go and trouble the master at the peak of the True Yuan Realm, whose name they couldn’t even find.
Now, they could only vent their anger on the Huo Family.
“I don’t care about all that, Huo Qiuran is your person, I just want to know, where is she now?”
