Chapter 399: Chapter 399 Security Feeling_1 Chapter 399: Chapter 399 Security Feeling_1 There was about ten seconds of silence on the phone. Huo Beijiang’s expression was actually much more stern than his voice. This rescue mission was more complex than he had imagined. Besides the rescue, the situations within, and the spies planted by various countries were the crux of the matter.
He was afraid that the real trouble would come only after he returned.
“Babe!” he called softly. His deep voice, those simple two words, landing on Nan Fei’s heart like a giant rock, causing her heart to tremble uncontrollably.
Her heart tightened and only then did the slow-witted her realize she had unconsciously been holding her breath.
Her chest hurt slightly now.
She began to breathe heavily, the sound of her panting transmitted to the other end of the phone.
Huo Beijiang was quick to notice. “Nan Fei, what’s wrong?” he asked anxiously, “Is somebody bullying you? Tell me, who is it?”
“I…” she quickly began, “Nobody’s bullying me, I’m pretty tough.”
“Oh…” Huo Beijiang let out a pleased chuckle and teased, “Oh! How tough are you? Tell me about it.”
Listening to his deep laughter, Nan Fei’s heart started to beat faster as she found his teasing both annoying and enticing.
“Anyway, I’m very tough.”
“For example?” He raised a quizzical eyebrow.
“I don’t have to report to you.” Was he purposefully trying to infuriate her?
“Since you’re not reporting to me, let me report to you instead!” Huo Beijiang switched his position, holding the phone with his left hand. His right arm was bandaged at the shoulder, and the bandage was already damp with spots of blood.
Lu Jin in the truck behind was heartbroken, wishing he could help Huo Beijiang hold the phone.
But Huo Beijiang seemed to be completely unfazed by the pain, his expression unchanged.
Nan Fei was rather curious about his whereabouts and whether his mission was dangerous. When she heard him mention that he wanted to report, she couldn’t help but tell him, “Go on and report then!”
“I only report to my wife, so first, tell me what I am to you.” That man shamelessly took this opportunity to set forth a requirement.
If it was like before, Nan Fei would undoubtedly hang up the phone without a second thought. But now she didn’t want to. She didn’t know if it was embarrassment or anger, but she blurted out in a rush.
After uttering those four words, she regretted it so much she wanted to bite her tongue off.
Huo Beijiang’s body, leaning against the guard railing of the truck, suddenly froze. He seemed to be rooted to the spot, still as Mount Tai even as the truck sped along.
His eyes narrowed slightly, his heart pounding. Thump… thump… It felt like it was about to leap out of his chest.
Even though he was generally good at controlling his heartbeat, he was completely unable to do so at this moment.
Huo Beijiang’s handsome face flashed a moment of confusion, followed by a joy that stemmed from the depths of his soul. His thin lips curved upwards, forming an intoxicatingly sensual arc.
The eyes within his beautiful face were radiant and lively.
As Nan Fei heard his silence, her heart was in turmoil. She knew that he liked her, she’d always known.
In her previous life, she only held resentment and aversion towards Huo Beijiang. These negative feelings clouded her vision and kept her from seeing his good traits and his excellence.
Reincarnated and now fully conscious, she was nearly completely falling for him.
The thought of how she had looked at his medals each night before going to sleep for the past month made her realize that she was doomed; she had fallen for him.
In fact, deep down, Nan Fei was still somewhat scared. After experiencing so many twists and turns, manipulations, despite her outward calm and her strong, confident protection of her family,
when it came to her emotions, she still lacked a sense of security.
