Chapter 660: Extra 073 Zaozao Falls into the Water (Update One)

“Have you all gone mad?” Song Lifei protected Xin Zaozao closely behind him.

He wouldn’t be so nervous if it was just himself.

But Xin Zaozao was by his side.

And Xin Zaozao was pregnant.

“No more bullshit, get them!” the lead man, seemingly impatient, issued a direct command.

“Wait.” Xin Zaozao called out, “Going this route, you won’t get a single cent. But if…”

“Don’t listen to this woman’s nonsense. She’ll only trick us! Hit them first!” Upon saying this, the leading villagers rushed directly toward Song Lifei.

Song Lifei quickly had Xin Zaozao retreat several steps while he stepped forward to fight the three or five men.

Xin Zaozao gritted her teeth.

Song Lifei definitely wouldn’t be able to beat them all.

This group only wanted to teach them a lesson, the last thing they would do is listen to what they were saying right now.

Consequently, she turned around, prepared to leave.

One of the fighting villagers suddenly stepped in front of Xin Zaozao, blocking her path.

The man sneered menacingly, “Thinking of running?”

Xin Zaozao watched him warily.

The spot where she stood was the only rural road in Lei Family village. The road was narrow and could only accommodate two small cars at most. She was surrounded by paddy fields filled with water during the winter. Xin Zaozao was stuck between a rock and a hard place.

“I can give you money, but not in this violent and threatening way!”

“Enough with your crap. You city folks are always playing Tai Chi. You won’t learn your place unless we teach you a lesson!”

With that, he attempted to strike Xin Zaozao.

Xin Zaozao kept retreating.

But she couldn’t possibly match the speed of a young man. Also, being pregnant, she couldn’t walk fast enough.

She watched in horror as the man’s muscular hand swung towards her face.

She was even mentally prepared for the coming blow.

But at that moment, a firm arm suddenly appeared in front of her, furiously grabbing the man’s hand and pushing him away.

The man stumbled backward a few steps.

Xin Zaozao turned to the man beside her, Mu Cidian.

Mu Cidian shielded her behind himself.

Gasping for breath at this time, Lei Qian ran to Mu Cidian’s side. She glanced at Xin Zaozao, then glared at the villagers and angrily stated, “Lei Wan, have you gone mad? How can you listen to Lei Jiang and come here to fight? Do you know you could get arrested?!”

“I don’t care!” Lei Wan growled, “Our money is all gone, and life is no use when you’re broke. I need to let off some steam today.”

“If you vent now, you’ll definitely regret later…”

“Enough with your crap. Lei Qian, don’t push it or I’ll beat you up too! Get out of my way.” Lei Wan said aggressively.

“Lei Wan!”

“Damn it!” Lei Wan ignored her, rushed forward and kicked Mu Cidian.

Mu Cidian blocked the punch with his hand.

His hand ached from the impact.

He told Xin Zaozao, “Move back a bit.”

Xin Zaozao quickly walked back.

“Lei Qian, go call your father, hurry!” Mu Cidian instructed.

Lei Qian looked at Mu Cidian and Lei Wan, who were already fighting each other.

After a moment’s consideration, she turned around to leave.

The moment she left, her gaze suddenly fell upon Xin Zaozao.

She watched Xin Zaozao watching the scene with anxiety, her face pale with fear.

Lei Qian felt a strange sensation in her heart.

Even though her house was surrounded by people making demands on her father, they originally planned to help him together. They only found out that a villager was saying, “Lei Jiang seems to have brought people to stop the Xins,” after which Mu Cidian left their house without even a second’s hesitation.

She hurried to catch up.

Mu Cidian was so fast that she almost couldn’t keep up.

Upon reaching Xin Zaozao, Mu Cidian’s speed increased significantly.

She gritted her teeth.

Was Mu Cidian still unwilling to let go of Xin Zaozao?

And as long as Xin Zaozao was in danger…

Lei Qian felt twisted inside.

She could bear not being jealous of Xin Zaozao, who in every aspect was better than her by quite a lot, but the only thing she couldn’t stand was, why was Xin Zaozao the only one who Mu Cidian couldn’t forget? As long as she was in danger, Mu Cidian would risk everything to protect her?!

She clenched her eyes tightly.

The moment she left Xin Zaozao’s side, she deliberately collided with her seemingly unintentionally.

Xin Zaozao was currently holding her phone, dialing quickly to call the police. Song Lifei and Mu Cidian had the villagers cornered, so she hadn’t anticipated any potential dangers. In an unguarded moment, she was violently bumped. She lost her balance, her phone flew out of her hand, and she fell backwards.

And behind her was the deep-water paddy field.

During the winter in Jin City, the water here was bone-chillingly cold.

“Xin Zaozao!” Song Lifei suddenly yelled.

Mu Cidian turned his head at that moment.

The moment he turned around, he saw Xin Zaozao fall into the paddy field.

Mu Cidian didn’t even think, he quickly jumped in and lifted Xin Zaozao out of the water.

Xin Zaozao was still in shock.

Mu Cidian held her tightly in his arms.

Fortunately, the paddy field wasn’t too deep, approximately thigh high for Mu Cidian.

He carried Xin Zaozao straight out of the paddy field.

Upon seeing Xin Zaozao fall into the water, the villagers ceased their aggression at once.

In reality, they just wanted to teach them a lesson, escalating it to the point of causing death was not something they had anticipated or desired. They weren’t that brave.

Song Lifei also came over quickly, anxiously asking, “Are you okay? Is Xin Zaozao okay?”

Xin Zaozao was shivering from the cold.

Mu Cidian held her in his arms supported by Song Lifei’s help to step out of the watery field, he then scooped her up and made directly for the village exit.

Lei Qian watched Mu Cidian’s retreating figure, watched as Mu Cidian and Xin Zaozao left.

Her eyes reddened.

It was obvious to her, very obvious that Mu Cidian truly loved Xin Zaozao.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

She had never seen Mu Cidian with such an expression before.

The expression of genuine fear was written all over his face.

His face completely different from the usual cold and calm Mu Cidian.

She hardened her heart.

The next second she started running after them.

Mu Cidian had carried Xin Zaozao to her little car at the village entrance without stopping, and without hesitation got into the back seat with her, holding her soaked body tightly. Song Lifei intuitively took the passenger seat.

“Drive,” Song Lifei urged the driver.

The driver was also startled by the chairman’s demeanor and started the car hurriedly.

“Mu Cidian.” Lei Qian suddenly appeared in front of the car.

The driver slammed the brakes.

Lei Qian knocked on Mu Cidian’s car door.

Mu Cidian merely wound down the window.

“Mu Cidian, are you really leaving like this?”

“I’m taking Xin Zaozao to the hospital.”

“Why should you take her to the hospital when Song Lifei is also here…” Lei Qian became emotional, her words slipped out unconsciously.

There seemed to be a change in Mu Cidian’s facial expression.

“Get out of the car with me, our family still needs you!” Lei Qian’s eyes were red-rimmed.

“I’ll return after taking her to the hospital. You wait for me here.”

“Don’t go.” Lei Qian gazed at him intently.

Mu Cidian’s pupils slightly stirred.

At that moment, Xin Zaozao, who was currently nestled in Mu Cidian’s arms, moved a little.

If it were not for her body freezing up, she wouldn’t let Mu Cidian hold her in this way.

She said, her voice trembling, “Get out.”

Mu Cidian looked at her.

Looking at her pale face and purplish lips.

“Get out.” Xin Zaozao ordered, using a bit of force, but her voice was clearly not loud.

Mu Cidian’s throat bobbed and he turned to the driver, “Drive.”

“Mu Cidian!” Lei Qian called out to him.

The driver was somewhat torn at this point.

Song Lifei told the driver, “When I tell you to drive quickly, do it!”

The driver dare not hesitate anymore and drove away directly.

Lei Qian watched as the car disappeared from sight.

Her eyes reddened as she stared, a vicious glare in her eyes.

In the car.

Mu Cidian was still holding Xin Zaozao tightly.

In his arms, Xin Zaozao was still shivering nonstop.

“Turn up the heating.” Mu Cidian ordered the driver.

“It’s already at maximum.”

“Is there a blanket or something in the car?” Mu Cidian asked.

“Yes, behind you, the cushion opens up to a blanket.” The driver hastily replied.

“Okay.”

Mu Cidian let go of Xin Zaozao, took off the cushion, and then quickly took off his down jacket. He then removed his sweater. Under the sweater, he didn’t typically wear thermal underwear. After taking off his clothes, he said to Song Lifei, “Don’t look back.”

Song Lifei was slightly startled.

He then nodded, “Okay.”

Mu Cidian shifted his seated position and sat on the barrier between the driver’s seat and the passenger’s seat. This way, he could block the rearview mirror and people from looking back from the front.

He took off Xin Zaozao’s clothes.

“What are you doing?” Xin Zaozao stared at him.

Looking at his upper body, which was now exposed.

“I’m helping you change into my clothes.”

“I don’t need…”

“The baby needs it.”

“Don’t touch me!”

“Behave.”

“I told you not to touch me.” Xin Zaozao glared at him intensely.

Mu Cidian disregarded her protests. He forcibly stripped off Xin Zaozao’s soaked down jacket and maternity dress, even the clothes underneath…

“Do you need me to give you my trousers?” Song Lifei asked from the front.

After all, Mu Cidian’s trousers were soaked. If needed, he would be willing to donate a pair of trousers, even if the picture wouldn’t be so pleasing.

“No need.” Mu Cidian declined.

He quickly changed Xin Zaozao into his sweater.

Fortunately, his sweater was large enough that even with Xin Zaozao’s protruding belly, she could still fit into it.

Once she put it on, she could even feel the warmth from his body.

Xin Zaozao gritted her teeth.

Mu Cidian then draped her down jacket over Xin Zaozao’s body. It was so large that it could wrap her entire body.

He said, “I’ll help you take off your pants.”

“No need…”

Mu Cidian had already stripped off her maternity leggings, the thick tights were all wet, as well as…

After Mu Cidian had removed her lower clothing, he wrapped her up tightly in the blanket.

He then draped his damp down jacket over Xin Zaozao’s body.

He had gotten wet while rescuing her, so she couldn’t exactly wear it. He could only use the dry portions to cover her body.

Only after doing all these did Mu Cidian return to his seat in the back.

Xin Zaozao hugged her own body.

Having taken off the wet clothes, her body gradually began to warm.

Song Lifei seemed to glance back at this moment. He looked at Mu Cidian’s bare torso and asked, “Do you need me to lend you a piece of clothing?”

“Thank you.”

Song Lifei took off his suit jacket, now left wearing a white tailored shirt inside.

Mu Cidian put on Song Lifei’s suit directly.

The suit could only be buttoned with two buttons, so at this moment, the outfit looked somewhat seductive. Particularly as Mu Cidian’s muscular chest was stretching the suit.

Song Lifei couldn’t help but jest, “You’ve done a good job maintaining your figure.”

Mu Cidian didn’t give a reply.

“How did you train?”

“I’ll give you a list later.”

“Okay.” Song Lifei nodded.

He thought that Mu Cidian was still as reticent as ever.

Mu Cidian, at this moment, didn’t have the mood to engage in any conversation, he was only worried. He was worried that nothing must happen to Xin Zaozao and their baby.

He turned to look at Xin Zaozao, who was leaning against the back seat. She still looked pale and, regardless of what difficulties she encountered, seemed to always be like this, gritting her teeth and enduring it alone.

Silently enduring it.

He stretched out his hand.

Suddenly stretched out his hand.

Xin Zaozao’s eyes flickered slightly.

Mu Cidian held her hand tightly within his own.

Xin Zaozao tried to push him away.

But Mu Cidian held her hand even tighter.

As if, as if, he had never let go before!
