Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

This kind of talk made the lantern in Li Chuntao’s hand drop to the ground with a thud, she was scared.

She hadn’t expected Yang Dong to actually say it out loud.

In a hurry, she squatted down to pick up the lantern on the ground, but because the lantern was tilted on the ground, the candle inside also toppled over, and the paper lantern instantly caught fire.

Yang Dong was pulled by Li Chuntao and also squatted down.

Seeing that Li Chuntao was still picking up the burning lantern, Yang Dong quickly moved the burning paper lantern aside, afraid it would burn Li Chuntao, and then said, "Don’t pick it up anymore. I’ll buy you another one tomorrow."

Li Chuntao wasn’t trying to pick up that paper lantern; she was just thrown into confusion by Yang Dong’s confession, not knowing what to do.

Although she saw Yang Dong’s thoughtfulness today while spending time with him, she felt they hadn’t spent enough time together, and she couldn’t answer such a question from Yang Dong now.

So she went to pick up the paper lantern to disguise her panic, but now that Yang Dong had thrown the lantern away, she had nothing to hide behind and had to stand up.

But she forgot about the string tied with a handkerchief connecting her and Yang Dong’s hands; with a sudden rise, Yang Dong, who was squatting there, was pulled off balance and fell towards Li Chuntao.

The incident happened so fast that when they came to their senses, they were already kissing.

This situation made them both stare wide-eyed in shock.

It also made Yang Dong instantly sober up; he rolled over and got off Li Chuntao, but he also forgot about their hands being tied together.

With that roll, he pulled Li Chuntao on top of him into his arms.

Li Chuntao had never experienced anything like this; she’d never been this close to a man. Her face turned bright red on the spot.

In a panic, she tried to untie the handkerchief on her hand and quickly ran away.

Yang Dong, lying there, was also stunned at the moment.

He actually just kissed Li Chuntao.

He touched his lips with his hand, not knowing what to feel.

But just a few seconds of stupor, and Li Chuntao had disappeared to who knows where.

After standing up, not seeing Li Chuntao’s figure, he panicked.

If Li Chuntao was missing and something happened to her, how would he explain to the Li Family, how would he explain to his own family? The opportunity his sister-in-law painstakingly created for him was messed up just like that.

He quickly started searching, but unfortunately, he happened to be at a crossroads and didn’t know which direction Li Chuntao ran off to.

He had to ask the people on the street.

"Uncle, have you seen a girl about this height, very pretty?"

"Didn’t see her."

"Bro, have you seen a pretty girl run by here, with big eyes, about fifteen or sixteen years old?"

"Didn’t see her."

"Ma’am, ..."

"..."

He asked everyone he could on the road, but no one could tell him where Li Chuntao had run to.

He was utterly flustered at this point, shouting loudly on the street, "Li Chuntao, where are you?"

"Li Chuntao."

"Li Chuntao!"

"..."

"..."

But no one answered him.

He felt so regretful; why did he have to say such things so hurriedly? If he hadn’t spoken, they could have just gone back quietly.

Why was he so terrible at handling things?

While cursing himself in his mind, his feet did not stop, frantically searching the streets for any sign of Li Chuntao. He thought to himself, he would never be so reckless again.
