Elite Doting Marriage: Crafty Husband, Aloof Cute Wife

‘Shuangshuang? It’s really him!’

The voice got louder and nearer to her. His voice filled Zhou Shuang with hope and cast away her doubts.

She was determined to stay alive so she tried her best to yell as loud as she could. “Lu Yinan! I’m here!”

It was the loudest she could yell at the moment. But it wasn’t loud enough that it didn’t reach the top.

It wasn’t loud enough for Lu Yinan to hear her.

She clutched tightly to the rock for her dear life, trying her best not to slip and fall. She had no idea how long she could hold on.

Lu Yinan’s voice got nearer, but she couldn’t see him. Zhou Shuang knew that he was somewhere around.

“Lu Yinan! Come nearer. Nearer!”

Zhou Shuang gritted her teeth, and she attempted to hoist herself up once more. Beads of perspiration rolled down from her forehead. Her palms were covered with a mixture of blood and open flesh.

She couldn’t find anything to support her legs and weight. She stretched her legs desperately to the side.

‘Eh?’ It seemed like she finally found a sturdy rock. Surprise filled her eyes and she felt less anxious.

Zhou Shuang heaved a sigh of relief as she took a rest. After a while, she tried to climb up, with her feet still on the rock.

“Ahhh…”

She had placed her entire weight on that rock. Unfortunately, the rock slipped and moved and she screamed in fear. Flustered and terrified, she gripped the rock tightly once more.

Pain was no longer her concern. All she wanted was to stay alive.

She had exhausted all her energy and her hands began to slip off the rock.

“Zhou Shuang! Shuangshuang!”

Lu Yinan’s frantic yells came from above once more. Zhou Shuang sensed that he was just right on top of her. If he bent and peered down, he could spot her.

She raised her head to search for him. The sunlight blinded her eyes and she squinted uncomfortably.

‘Lu Yinan, if you appear before me at the next moment, I’ll go back with you,’ Zhou Shuang thought silently to herself.

Perhaps it was the sunlight, Zhou Shuang’s eyes glistened and turned red.

She had never yearned to see him so much. All she wanted was to hug and dive into his embrace—to get his love and concern.

A moment happened in the blink of an eye. How could he possibly appear at the next moment?

“Shuangshuang!”

Zhou Shuang bowed her head in despair and disappointment as her fingers began to lose grip. Lu Yinan’s anxious and worried voice sounded right above her.

Her eyes gleamed with hope and she raised her head. Happiness was etched all over her filthy face.

“Lu Yinan, do you want to die? Why do you keep shouting?”

“If I die, who would save you?”

He darted down like an arrow, and it terrified Zhou Shuang. “Be careful…”

She hadn’t finished her sentence when the rock that Lu Yinan stepped on shifted. Lu Yinan slipped a little and fell backward.

Zhou Shuang was terrified and she began to climb upward with an unknown source of strength again.

“Don’t move, I’ll come to you.” Lu Yinan merely slipped, but he found his balance once again.

He saw that Zhou Shuang was trying to climb up on her own. He spotted her bleeding hands and his heart ached terribly. He hastened his speed towards her.

As he climbed down, the climb became more treacherous and dangerous. How he wished he could fly to her right now.

Zhou Shuang’s heart trembled with fear with every step he took. Her shirt was soaked with perspiration, and tears streamed down her face.
