The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man novel Chapter 686

Chapter 686: Chapter 682: Busy Past Midnight

The wait stretched until five in the morning, when Leng Yuan finally returned with the young men from the village.

As soon as they got back, they didn’t say a word and went straight inside to sleep.

Their families saw them return so late and knew they must be exhausted, so no one disturbed them.

When Leng Yuan returned home, Chen Xiaoli and Yu Fangfang got up and left.

The two of them came out of the room to find the sky already beginning to lighten. They had been busy all night!

Luckily, it wasn’t the busy farming season, so it didn’t matter if they skipped a day of work in the fields.

When the two women got home, they saw their husbands were also getting ready for bed, so they decided to go to sleep as well.

The village chief had also been busy for most of the night.

That morning, many homes in the village were quiet. As for the production team leader, he still had to go arrange the day’s work. It was the first time he’d seen so many people miss work, but he wasn’t the least bit angry. He even praised those who hadn’t shown up.

Leng Yuan knew Gu Jiaojiao liked things to be clean, so he washed up before entering the room. He saw that Xiao Yang was already asleep and looked at Gu Jiaojiao with a pang of heartache. "Why aren’t you asleep yet? You don’t have to wait for me."

Gu Jiaojiao didn’t make a sound, her pitch-black eyes fixed on Leng Yuan, unblinking.

Leng Yuan’s heart softened. He stepped forward, his voice gentle. "Were you scared?"

Gu Jiaojiao shook her head, then nodded, and in the next moment, threw herself directly into Leng Yuan’s arms.

Leng Yuan caught her in an embrace. Just as he was about to speak, he felt a patch of dampness on his chest.

His movements paused for a second, then his hand came to rest comfortingly on Gu Jiaojiao’s back.

"Shh, I’m okay. Don’t be afraid."
