Chapter 348: The family is finally reunited

Early the next morning, a ray of morning light shone through the gaps in the rocks outside the cave and fell on Gu Chen's face.

He slowly opened his eyes, rubbed them a little dazedly, and tried to stretch, but felt that someone was snuggled in his arms, sleeping soundly.

Gu Chen subconsciously reached out to stroke her long hair, and muttered to himself.

'Pianran, I should get up...'

Just as he said this, Gu Chen finally got a full look at his surroundings, and even his hand froze in place for a moment.

He finally realised that this was not his home in Haicheng, and with some difficulty he swallowed, looking down.

What met his eyes was a sweet and pretty sleeping face, with her eyebrows curved like willow leaves and a straight nose.

Her inviting cherry lips were lightly pressed together, and she was currently lying on top of him, sound asleep.

I'm afraid that any man would be ecstatic to see himself in the arms of a beautiful woman in the morning.

Hugging such a beautiful woman tightly, he would be unable to hold back his inner joy.

However, at this moment, Gu Chen's heart was a little tearful.

How the fuck can this be explained?

He is innocent!

Really!

He didn't do it!

He swears!

Gu Chen felt a headache coming on, so he quickly checked his body.

When he found that both his and Dong Yuwei's clothes were still on,

he finally let out a long sigh of relief.

He really didn't know what happened!

He doesn't like Dong Yuwei, really doesn't like her!

And the two of them didn't actually do anything, so in that sense, they didn't make a complete mistake.

Gu Chen thought to himself, but I don't know if it was because of the force of his actions.

Dong Yuwei, who had been sleeping in his arms, slowly woke up at this moment.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Gu Chen's handsome and sun-like face.

A blush instantly appeared on Dong Yuwei's pretty face, and she couldn't help but glance away.

She only said softly:

'Good morning, Brother Gu.'

However, Gu Chen did not have much of a mind at the moment, and quickly helped her stand up from the ground.

As if to cover up the awkwardness between the two of them at the moment, he said with some nervousness.

'Yuwei, it's already dawn, let's go quickly. We didn't go back last night, and I'm afraid the Ji family and your father are going crazy looking for us.'

However, Dong Yuwei's gaze at him at the moment was a little more affectionate than yesterday.

Her gentle and lovely appearance was just like Ji Pianran when he was with her.

'Well, I'll listen to you, Brother Gu.'

Gu Chen felt a little guilty when he heard this, and he finally realised that something seemed a little wrong with the situation in front of him. He hurriedly explained,

'Yuwei, you don't need to think too much about what happened after you fell asleep last night, and I hope you won't take it to heart.'

'I have a wife and a child.'

Gu Chen was an honest person, and he immediately explained his identity clearly.

He is also the father of a child and the husband of a woman.

After saying this, he did not dare to get entangled with the other person any further and quickly moved the stones away from the hole.

Then, as if he had thought of something, he turned to her and said:

'Yuwei, wait here for a moment while I go and see if there are any fruits nearby that I can use for breakfast.'

After saying this, Gu Chen hurriedly left the abandoned mine.

The two then walked along the mountain wall.

For no reason, Dong Yuwei felt a little disappointed. She had just started to feel hopeful!

But at least he had told her. No, he hadn't taken advantage of her.

After walking for a while, Dong Yuwei couldn't help but ask again.

'Brother Gu, can such fruit really grow in this kind of forest?'

'Of course it can. I've always been very lucky!'

We hadn't gone far before we came across a fruit tree.

Then I picked some fruit and on the way back, I came across a particularly clear stream.

This water comes from there, don't ask, Yuwei, just eat quickly, otherwise you won't have the energy later.'

'Wow... I know, but you're really amazing, Brother Gu.'

Dong Yuwei looked blankly at the red apple and large pear in her hands.

There was even a bunch of grapes that had obviously just been picked, as well as some incredibly tasty mineral water. She suddenly felt even more confused.

Then her mind flashed back to the scene yesterday when the two of them had driven off a cliff.

The sheer cliff was seven or eight stories high, and when she woke up, she found that the car had been flattened.

However, neither of them had even the slightest injury, apart from being stunned halfway through and not even breaking the skin.

At first, she thought that they had both survived a desperate situation, but now she thought about it, their luck was really too good to be explained.

Thinking about this, Dong Yuwei's gaze could not help but fall on Gu Chen, who was still walking in front of her, constantly clearing a path for her.

For a moment, she felt that the back of this man in front of her seemed to have become even taller and more mysterious.

However, she was very clever and did not pursue this matter further, but silently buried this curiosity in her heart.

The two of them walked for a while, and finally made it through the forest and back onto the main road.

At that moment, Gu Chen also heard faint shouts coming from not far away.

'Master, Master, where are you?'

Gu Chen couldn't help but feel happy at the sound, and quickly took Dong Yuwei behind him.

He ran in the direction of the sound, and after going through a dense thicket,

Immediately, he saw Uncle Guang leading a group of Ji family members, searching for him along both sides of the road.

'Uncle Guang, I'm here, I'm here!'

As soon as Bai Guang saw Gu Chen, he hurried over, grabbed his hand, and said repeatedly, full of guilt.

'Master, I'm sorry, it's all my fault for not noticing in advance that the Xu family was trying to do you harm.

I underestimated them, and almost caused you an accident. I'm sorry!'

Gu Chen naturally didn't blame him in the slightest, not to mention Uncle Guang.

Even he hadn't expected that Xu Qingmu would be so heartless.

He had only blocked his medicinal herb business once.

As a result, the other party had sent so many people to deal with him.

He really was a psychopath!

However, just as he was trying to persuade Uncle Guang not to blame himself too much, he suddenly heard a very familiar voice.

'Gu Chen~'

He couldn't help but look up, only to find a woman with tears in her eyes standing opposite him.

The next second, the woman threw herself into his arms without hesitation.

The thought that Gu Chen might be dead or injured had broken her heart!

Gu Chen stroked her soft, long hair and felt her panic and unease.

He couldn't help but smile and say, 'Don't cry, Pien. I'm safe and sound, aren't I...'

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a small figure fling itself into his arms.

'Daddy~'

Tangtang really missed her father!

She hadn't seen him for more than a day!

Gu Chen happily responded, and then reached out and held his daughter Tangtang in his arms as well.

But just as the family of three was celebrating their reunion, Gu Chen suddenly felt something behind him.

There was a lonely gaze, as if it were watching him.
