Chapter 200: She’s My Wife

From afar, Ling Yao saw the tall figure sitting by the bonfire. Her heart was filled with excitement, and her steps involuntarily quickened. He was okay. It was wonderful.

Lu Qingyun keenly caught the approaching footsteps. A fierce look flashed in his eyes.

He quickly sprang up from the ground, instinctively drawing the weapon at his waist. Without hesitation, he aimed the gun at the approaching figure. This was a deserted tropical rainforest. Besides his brothers, there were only the drug traffickers.

As the figure drew closer, a look of disbelief appeared in Lu Qingyun’s eyes. Had he seen wrong? How could Yaoyao be here?

Seeing this, the others immediately went on high alert. When they saw Ling Yao, they were all surprised. It was a girl. But this was a remote tropical rainforest, deep in the jungle. Even local girls wouldn’t be here in the middle of the night.

“Qingyun!” Ling Yao’s clear and affectionate call, as if crossing time and space, echoed throughout the rainforest.

Lu Qingyun’s heart skipped a beat. His eyes met Ling Yao’s, which shone like stars.

Ling Yao gave Lu Qingyun a radiant smile, as warm and bright as the spring sun.

Lu Qingyun finally came to his senses. An irresistible urge surged through him.

He took a step, using all his strength to run towards Ling Yao.

When he reached her, he didn’t hesitate to stretch out his arms and hug her tightly.

“Yaoyao!” The real touch made Lu Qingyun realize that what he saw wasn’t an illusion. His Yaoyao had really come to him.

The others were stunned by this scene. They widened their eyes, opened their mouths, and looked at each other in disbelief. What was going on? Had the Captain been bewitched by a forest spirit?

“Yaoyao, how did you get here?” Lu Qingyun’s voice trembled with excitement. He stared intently at Ling Yao, afraid that she would disappear in the blink of an eye.

Ling Yao raised her head. Her eyes were as clear and moving as water, “I heard from Grandpa that you lost contact with the authorities after chasing the drug traffickers into the tropical rainforest. I was very worried, so I came to find you.”

She buried her face in Lu Qingyun’s broad chest, feeling his strong heartbeat. At this moment, she felt incredibly at ease.

“Yaoyao, you can’t do anything so dangerous again. What if something happens to you? What would I…” Lu Qingyun’s voice was choked with emotion. He hugged Ling Yao tightly, as if he wanted to merge her into his body. This was the tropical rainforest. There were poisonous insects and snakes everywhere, as well as those vicious drug traffickers. What if something happened to Yaoyao? How would he live after that?

Ling Yao raised her head. Seeing the tears in Lu Qingyun’s eyes, her heart felt like it had been pierced by a sharp needle.

She touched Lu Qingyun’s face with a loving hand. She tiptoed and gently kissed his lips, “Don’t worry. I’ll be fine. You know I have ways to protect myself.”

Lu Qingyun could no longer contain the surging emotions in his heart. He quickly lowered his head and kissed Ling Yao’s delicate, petal-soft lips, savoring the sweetness and fragrance that belonged only to her…

Seeing this scene, everyone around them turned away in unison. This wasn’t something they could watch.

For a long time, Lu Qingyun reluctantly ended the long and passionate kiss. But his deep, sea-like eyes remained fixed on Ling Yao, filled with an endless tenderness that was about to overflow.

Lu Qingyun’s gaze made her blush. She shyly pushed him lightly, “There are people around.”

“I’ll introduce them to you.” Lu Qingyun smiled, took Ling Yao’s hand, and walked towards the others.

Hearing footsteps, the others turned to look at Lu Qingyun and Ling Yao. They were all curious. Who was this girl who suddenly appeared?

They had all heard that the Captain was married and that he was very much in love with his wife.

“Let me introduce you all. This is my wife, Ling Yao.” Lu Qingyun tightened his grip on Ling Yao’s hand and gave her a gentle smile.

“Hello, everyone!” Ling Yao gave everyone a bright smile.

“Hello, Sister!”

“Hello, Sister!”

Everyone greeted Ling Yao enthusiastically, their curiosity about her growing. She was the Captain’s wife, but how did she get here?

This was the deep part of the tropical rainforest, filled with endless danger and peril. Even they, seasoned veterans, wouldn’t dare to say they could leave this rainforest unscathed, let alone a woman.

“Sister, how did you get here?” Someone couldn’t contain their curiosity and asked.

“I heard that Qingyun went missing while chasing the drug traffickers into the tropical rainforest. I was worried, so I came to find him. I followed the marks you left.” Ling Yao said.

“But it’s dangerous all along the way. Even we were bitten by poisonous snakes and insects. How come you’re fine?” If she hadn’t been the Captain’s wife, they would have suspected her of being a spy.

Lu Qingyun frowned unhappily. He was about to speak, but Ling Yao stopped him.

She looked at everyone, smiling brightly and confidently, “I grew up in the mountains. And I’m a doctor. The snakes and insects where I’ve been don’t dare to get close.”

“The medicine you’ve been taking is made by Yaoyao.” Lu Qingyun said calmly. He knew what they were thinking. He was a little angry, but he could understand. If Yaoyao hadn’t been his wife, he would have suspected her identity too.

“Sister is a doctor?” Everyone was a little surprised.

Ling Yao nodded with a smile. She glanced at a snake slowly approaching the group, opened a porcelain bottle, and sprinkled the powder inside around them.

Everyone looked at Ling Yao in confusion.

Lu Qingyun pointed with his chin in the direction of the snake.

Everyone looked in the direction Lu Qingyun pointed and saw a huge python, as thick as a bowl, approaching them. They were instantly terrified. The snake was so close to them, and they hadn’t even noticed it.

The next moment, everyone saw the snake, as if it had suddenly sensed something, with a look of fear in its eyes. It turned and quickly slipped into the dense bushes.

They had encountered many pythons in the rainforest before. Those pythons weren’t afraid of people at all. They would even attack them when they saw them.

Everyone looked at the porcelain bottle in Ling Yao’s hand.

“Sister, what kind of medicine is that?”

“Snake repellent. As long as you sprinkle it on yourself, snakes, insects, and rodents won’t dare to get close. Want to try it?” Ling Yao smiled and shook the porcelain bottle.
