The Big Boss & His Dainty Wife

Although she doesn’t know who it is, Hai Xiaotang knows that the person must be quite formidable.

At least, they possess a rank higher than her grandfather used to hold. Otherwise, Hua Dongliang wouldn’t have been forced to leave C City.

But during his prime in C City, Hua Dongliang was considered the top figure.

Who could have a higher status than him?

Hai Xiaotang speculated wildly, but nothing really jumped out to her.

Even if she were to ask Tao Yi, she certainly wouldn’t be able to get any useful answers. There must be many intermediaries carrying out that person’s orders. Tao Yi wouldn’t foolishly expose himself.

Moreover, that person was very good at hiding in the shadows, so much so that they had to concoct a flawless plan just to capture her.

However, Hai Xiaotang believed they would discover a way to deal with that person eventually.

While having breakfast, Hai Xiaotang texted back one by one to reassure everyone she was safe.

Then she received a call from Hua Xuan.

“Xiaotang, are you alright now?” Hua Xuan asked with concern.

Hai Xiaotang nodded; “Yeah, I’m alright now.”

Hua Xuan laughed, “As long as you are alright. I didn’t expect this kind of accident to happen. If anything happened to you, I would feel guilty for the rest of my life.”

Hai Xiaotang comforted her, “Cousin, don’t worry, I’m fine now.”

“As long as you’re fine. When you’ve had a good rest, let me treat you to a meal.”

“Okay.”

“I won’t disturb your rest, call me if you need anything.”

“Okay.” Hai Xiaotang didn’t say much more.

Just as she ended her call with Hua Xuan, she received a call from Hai Lan. Hai Lan asked a few simple questions then hung up.

Her personality was always like this; she didn’t pay much attention to many things.

Moreover, her relationship with Hai Xiaotang wasn’t that deep…

The last person to call Hai Xiaotang was Qiao Ning. She was worried about Hai Xiaotang’s safety and wanted to come and see her.

Hai Xiaotang hadn’t seen her for a long time, so they agreed to meet at a restaurant.

Ever since Hai Xiaotang left half a year ago, they hadn’t met again.

After such a long time apart, Hai Xiaotang and Qiao Ning really missed each other.

Moreover, there was no sense of estrangement between them, everything felt just like before.

After a few pleasantries, Qiao Ning brought up Hai Xiaotang’s recent kidnapping.

“Xiaotang, when I saw the news about you being kidnapped, you have no idea how scared I was.” Qiao Ning was still terrified. “They didn’t hurt you, did they? Weren’t you frightened?”

Hai Xiaotang laughed intentionally to lighten the mood, “Qiao Ning, you underestimate me! Even though I’d experienced a few crises in the past, I wouldn’t be scared by something like this.”

Qiao Ning didn’t believe her, “You must have been scared. Even I was frightened just by looking at it. But Mr. Dongfang’s actions were quite touching. After seeing his announcement, I wasn’t as afraid. Because with him there, I knew you would be alright. But the thing that I don’t understand is that you said you two had divorced, why didn’t it happen? What’s going on?”

Instead of answering, Hai Xiaotang asked with confusion, “Announcement? What announcement?”

Qiao Ning looked at her even more confused, “You don’t know?”

“…After I was rescued yesterday, I went back home and rested.”

Qiao Ning nodded, “That’s right, you probably didn’t have time to keep up with other events. Luckily, I kept the newspaper from that day. You can take a look.”

With that, she hurriedly took out the newspaper from her bag and gave it to Hai Xiaotang.

After reading through it, Hai Xiaotang was left in disbelief!
