Marry Me Quick

Chapter 809 Difficult Rescue

Seeing Su Ziyue lost in thought, An Xia asked, "What are you thinking? Do you know something about Su Yige that I don't?"

Su Ziyue snapped back to reality and smiled. "Yes, I do know some of her secrets. After all, we used to be archenemies."

"Then tell me."

"No way."

Anxia could only pout.

After she left, Su Ziyue thought for a moment and decided to call Su Yige.

When Su Yige received the call, Su Yang happened to be taking a nap.

She tucked Su Yang in and walked to the side to answer the phone.

"How have you been lately?"

Su Ziyue's voice was soft. She seemed to have become gentler recently. This was something Su Yige noticed when she last saw Su Ziyue.

Perhaps people who lived happily would naturally become gentler and calmer.

"I'm doing well. How about you? Is your belly starting to grow now?"

They engaged in idle chat.

Finally, Su Ziyue tentatively asked her, "Are you used to Jingcheng City? After all, you've lived in the South since you were young. Have you considered coming back to Yunzhou City?" Su Ziyue cautiously probed, causing Su Yige's eyes to turn red.

If Su Yige had realized it earlier, she probably wouldn't be living like this now.

But generally, things that started with "if" were impossible to happen.

Silently and beautifully, snow started falling outside the window.

She sniffled and said, "I'm a bit unaccustomed to it. I've been feeling a bit sick lately, but it just started snowing. It's quite beautiful. If you come to Jingcheng City again, come find me." Su Ziyue paused. "Okay."

When the call ended, Su Yige looked at the increasingly dense snowflakes outside the window and let out a long sigh. She sent a text message to Su Ziyue.

It was just two simple words. 'Thank you.'

After Su Ziyue received the message, she casually put her phone aside. She then pulled Qin Zixi downstairs, saying, "Let's go see what your father cooked today." There was no way around it. Pregnant women were only interested in eating.

Lu Qingyou was sleeping when she received a call from Bai Yunan.

"Hello?" She answered the phone groggily without opening her eyes.

There was silence on the other end.

Years of familiarity made Lu Qingyou sensitive.

She opened her eyes and looked at her phone, realizing it was Bai Yunan calling.

She was surprised that he took the initiative to call her.

"Yunan?"

"I'm leaving. Take care of yourself."

Only then did Lu Qingyou suddenly remember that Bai Yunan was going on a mission again.

He risked his life every time he went on a mission.

She anxiously asked, "When will you be back?"

"I don't know."

"Then-"

"I don't have time. I'm hanging up."

Bai Yunan didn't give her a chance to speak and hung up the phone directly.

Lu Qingyou's mood became solemn.

He must come back safely this time too.

...

Now that Bai Yunan went on another mission, Lu Qingyou regretted arguing with him the day before he left.

He couldn't bring a personal phone on his missions, so she wouldn't be able to contact him until he returned.

Moreover, he didn't say when he would be back. He didn't even give her an approximate date.

Usually, this kind of situation indicated that things were complicated.

Lu Qingyou's heart grew heavy.

She stayed at Bai Yeqi's place for two days. On the weekend, she packed up her things from the rented house and went back home. She explained to her parents that the internship job wasn't going well, so she quit and planned to work at Bai Yeqi's company.

Although her parents didn't like Bai Yeqi very much, they knew that Bai Yeqi wouldn't mistreat Lu Qingyou Thinking about how her working at his company was better than working at other companies outside, they didn't ask too many questions.

She went to Bai Yeqi's company to report for work and started adjusting to the new company. Instead of staying with Cheng Qiulu, she chose to live at home.

Every time Bai Yunan went on a mission, time seemed to pass incredibly slowly for her. Each day felt exceptionally long.

After a week, she noticed that her father and Bai Jingshu next door were coming home later and later.

The atmosphere in the courtyard became heavy.

Lu Qingyou had a hunch that something big had happened, and she vaguely felt that it might be related to Bai Yunan. However, she didn't dare to think too deeply about it.

That was until one day when she returned home from work and bought some things to take to the Bai Residence next door. As soon as she entered, she saw Aunt Liu bustling around.

Aunt Liu smiled when she saw her. "You are here, Qingyou."

"I bought pastries and fruits. I'll go upstairs to see Grandpa first." Whenever she had free time, she would come to see Old Master Ba After the incident with Bai Jingshu, Old Master Bai, who was already old, didn't like going out anymore and seemed more dispirited than before.

She went to Old Master Bai's room but didn't see him. He must be in the study, she guessed.

As she approached the study door, she heard her father's voice from inside.

"We've already sent a rescue team, but there are mountains and valleys all over that area. It's difficult to carry out a search and rescue at that complex location. It's been three days, but we haven't received any news..."

What is Dad doing here?

As she guessed they were discussing something important, she was about to leave when she heard Bai Mingxu say, "This isn't the first time we've encountered this situation. I believe Yunan will overcome the danger."

Hearing Bai Yunan's name, Lu Qingyou froze at the door.

The two inside had already noticed the movement by the door. They quickly exchanged a glance, and her father soon walked toward her. Opening the door, he saw his daughter and paused before asking, "Qingyou, why are you here? Are you

looking for Old Master Bai? He went

out and hasn't come back yet."

Lu Qingyou couldn't focus on what he was saying. She asked directly, "What happened to Yunan? What happened that requires him to 'overcome the danger?"""

In the past, she deliberately didn't count the days or inquire about Bai Yunan's news every time he went on a mission.

This time, she probably felt uneasy because they had argued the day before he left.

She had grown up in the courtyard and heard many stories of people who never returned.

Afraid that Bai Yunan would be like the people she heard from the stories, she would obediently say goodbye and ask him to come back soon even if they fought before he left on a mission.

Mr. Lu glanced at Bai Mingxu with a reluctant gaze. "I'll take Qingyou home first."

Bai Mingxu waved. "Go ahead."

After he finished speaking, he sighed and sat down on the couch, covering his forehead with his hand. He looked exhausted.

"Come with me." Mr. Lu gestured to Lu Qingyou before dragging her along.

Lu Qingyou's heart continued to sink as she followed her father out of the room.
