Chapter 177: Terrible Nightmares

Mother Tao had just caught Tao Xian secretly looking at Tang Xiaowei, so she did not believe her son's explanation at this moment.

Tao Xian really felt that his mother's fantasy ability was good enough.

He was not looking at Tang Xiaowei. He was clearly looking at that stupid woman, Tao Yuyan.

However, he knew that his mother and father would not be able to accept this matter at once.

Therefore, he had to first let himself have the ability to protect Tao Yuyan before he would tell his parents honestly.

Therefore, it was not the time yet. He started to push Tao's mother. "Mom, don't let your imagination run wild. I don't like Tang Xiaowei, and she doesn't like me either. You don't want to embarrass the friends that sister brought back. Don't bring this up again. Go out. I need to take a shower and rest."

Tao's mother did not have the chance to say anything more before her son pushed her out of the door.

Furthermore, her son coldly closed the door in front of her.

Although Tao's mother was a little angry that her son was unwilling to admit the 'truth' that she had guessed, she did not want to force her son anymore.

Hence, she still believed in her own guess and left happily.

Forget it, since her son was shy and did not want to admit it, and she was not allowed to ask, she was also not allowed to say anything.

In that case, she would not ask for now. Since Xiaowei was going to stay here for a few days, she could totally secretly observe the actions of the two of them.

She did not believe that she would not be able to find any traces of them.

...

At that moment, in Tao Yuyan's bedroom.

Tang Xiaowei went to the bathroom to take a shower while Tao Yuyan sat on the sofa in a daze.

She remembered that Tao Xian had not touched his chopsticks in the dining room earlier. She had actually noticed it.

However, she could no longer ask him to stop playing with his phone and let him eat like she did when she used to treat him as her younger brother.

In the past, she could care for him like that.

But now, she really could not do it.

She realized that ever since that kiss the other day, their relationship had completely changed.

He no longer treated her as his older sister.

She wanted to treat him as her younger brother, but she realized that she could no longer go back.

Every time she saw his gaze, she would feel that his gaze was especially terrifying, as if he was going to eat her up.

There was still a long period of time left in the day. She could only wait until school started. After that, she would stay at school and it should be fine.

"Yuyan, I'm done washing. You should go wash, too. " Tang Xiaowei's voice suddenly sounded.

Tao Yuyan looked up and saw that Tang Xiaowei had already showered. She was wearing loose pajamas and her hair was draped over her shoulders as she walked out.

Tao Yuyan's gentle gaze landed on Tang Xiaowei's stomach. "Quickly dry your hair and go rest. Don't tire out the baby in your stomach."

In the room today, Tang Xiaowei had already told Tao Yuyan about her pregnancy. She had also told her that she had agreed to marry Huangfu Qiye. However, Huangfu Qiye had urgent matters to attend to at the moment, so the wedding was delayed. It was likely that he would be back for a long time.

Tang Xiaowei nodded. Thinking of the child, she also had a gentle smile on her face. "Yes, I know. Hurry up and go."

Tao Yuyan took her pajamas and walked into the bathroom.

Outside, after Tang Xiaowei blew dry her hair, she climbed onto Tao Yuyan's big bed and wrapped herself in the blanket. Then, she took out her phone and started to call a certain man.

However, the familiar female voice still rang in her phone. His phone had been switched off.

Tang Xiaowei put down her phone, feeling extremely disappointed.

Why was his phone always switched off?

It had been so many days. What kind of emergency had he encountered that caused his phone to be switched off?

Was he in some kind of danger?

She shook her head. It was impossible. Nothing could have happened to him.

That day, he had brought her along and separated from the bodyguards. The two of them were locked in the basement. He was still fine despite his serious injuries.

Now that he didn't have her by his side, and there were many bodyguards protecting him, how could anything happen to him?

She shouldn't scare herself like this.

In order not to let her imagination run wild, she put her phone away, lay down directly, closed her eyes, and began to urge herself to sleep.

Perhaps it was because she was pregnant, or perhaps it was because she was really tired, so soon, she fell asleep.

...

In the gray forest.

She kept running, because there seemed to be something terrible chasing her behind.

She ran very fast, but she still felt that the terrifying thing was about to catch up to her.

Moreover, there were many stones on the grass under her feet, which made her almost fall several times.

She kept running, feeling that her calves and arms were cut by the surrounding branches, but she didn't dare to stop because she had no choice.

Until a very large cliff appeared in front of her, and she didn't dare to run forward anymore.

The forest from before had all dispersed, and her field of vision became wider.

However, there was a cliff in front of her, and the terrifying thing behind her was still there, so she had nowhere to go.

At this moment, a blurry figure suddenly appeared in front of her. Gradually, that figure became clearer from being wrapped in a thick fog.

She finally saw who was standing in front of her.

It was him. It was Huangfu Qiye.

He even smiled and extended his hand to her.

She suddenly felt extremely wronged, and tears uncontrollably flowed down her face.

She had not been able to get through to his phone for many days, and not only did his people not return, but she also did not know any news about him.

Now that she had finally met him, she knew how much she missed him and how afraid she was to lose him.

She staggered forward, wanting to run over and hold his hand, throwing herself into his arms.

However, when she finally ran in front of him, his face, which had been smiling, suddenly turned pale, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood from his mouth.

The blood splashed onto her body and face, and she did not have time to think about why he spat out blood.

His body, which had been standing on the edge of the cliff, was like a broken kite, falling down the cliff in front of her.

She was so scared that she went crazy and reached out to grab him.

However, she didn't catch anything. Instead, she fell down the cliff with him.

"No...!"

In the dark night, she yelled and sat up.

Her forehead was full of sweat, and her pajamas were wet.

Tao Yuyan woke up from the shock when she heard something. She hurriedly turned on the lights in the room and worriedly pulled Tang Xiaowei into her arms. "Xiaowei, did you have a nightmare? It's okay, it's just a dream."

Tang Xiaowei panted non-stop. After a long time, she slowly came back to her senses.

Yes, she was indeed dreaming just now.

But that dream gave her a heart-wrenching pain.

She was no longer sleepy and subconsciously felt that something might have happened to Huangfu Qiye.
