Chapter 276: A Strange Dream
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
It was a quiet night.
Ye Qingran was not sleeping well. She seemed to be trapped in a nightmare.
It was unknow what she was dreaming about. Her forehead was covered in cold sweat and she looked uncomfortable. She even muttered to herself from time to time.
Chu Yan did not sleep. He saw Ye Qingran like this when he entered, he wanted to wake her up, but he heard her calling Mu Qingxue’s name. “Mu Qingxue, Mu Qingxue…”
She dreamed of Mu Qingxue in her nightmare. What did she dream about.
He held her hand. “Child, wake up…”
Not only did Ye Qingran not wake up, but because he held onto her hand, it became more and more intense.
She dreamed of Mu Qingxue. As the female protagonist of the novel, Mu Qingxue had the aura of the main character. No matter how she, the evil supporting character, dealt with Mu Qingxue, Mu Qingxue would always be able to survive.
She would always have a chance to make a comeback in the end.
She also thought of escaping and staying far away from the female protagonist.
But it was useless.
The female protagonist regarded her as her enemy. Even if she did not provoke Mu Qingxue, Mu Qingxue would also take the initiative to provoke her.
Time and again, it was endless. No matter what methods she used, she could not get rid of her. She wanted to go back, but she could not. She wanted to live a good life, but Mu Qingxue would always find a way.
She even dreamed of Chu Yan, but that Chu Yan seemed to be different from this Chu Yan.
He was sinister and sick, cold and crazy.
She saw a huge field of fire, and Chu Yan was covered in blood. He held a black gun in his hand and slowly walked into the fire.
‘It’s dangerous, come back, don’t go forward anymore…’
She wanted to shout, but she could not make any sound.
She could not shout or hold him back. She was so anxious that she was about to go crazy, but she could only watch him walk into the fire.
In her daze, she seemed to hear him calling her name. It was a cry of despair.
“Ye Qingran.”
It was his voice, but he did not seem to call her that.
Ye Qingran suddenly opened her eyes and saw Chu Yan’s enlarged face. She blinked and realized that it was just a nightmare. She felt her heart clench and relaxed.
Then, she reached out and hugged him tightly.
Chu Yan reached out and hugged her. He patted her back gently and said in a gentle voice, “Don’t be afraid. It’s just a dream.”
Ye Qingran closed her eyes and leaned against his chest. “Yes, it’s just a dream.”
“She will not appear again and hurt you and Ruoruo,” Chu Yan suddenly said without any reason.
Ye Qingran raised her head and looked at him in a daze. “Her? Who? Mu Qingxue?”
She blinked. “I was talking in my sleep just now, I called her name?”
Chu Yan hummed softly. He reached for a piece of tissue by the bedside and wiped the sweat off her forehead. “She hurt you in your dream?”
“In my dream, she and I hurt each other. Our fates were intertwined, I couldn’t shake it off no matter how hard I tried,” Ye Qingran said helplessly. “I don’t know what fate it was between us.”
“That was just a dream. It can’t be real.”
“It’s real too.” Ye Qingran was really frightened by the nightmare. Her back was drenched.
Compared to the entanglement between her and Mu Qingxue, the scene after that seemed to scare her even more.
She didn’t understand why she would dream of such a scene.
In the original novel, Chu Yan was fine. He was someone who wasn’t part of the story.
Chu Ruoruo could be considered as cannon fodder, but in the end, she was also pulled out of the story by someone who was not part of the story. Their ending was good, why would she dream of such a scene.
The heater was too hot, and she was drenched in sweat. At this moment, she was very sticky and uncomfortable.
After saying a few words to Chu Yan, she got up and went to the bathroom and prepared to take a shower.
After Ye Qingran entered the bathroom, Chu Yan’s expression suddenly turned cold and gloomy. His gaze was cold and profound as he looked out of the window. There was a layer of hesitation on his face. No one knew what he was thinking about.
The night was as still as a pool of stagnant water. It was so quiet that not a single sound could be heard.
Suddenly, there was a soft sound. The bathroom door was pulled open by Ye Qingran once again.
She hid behind the door and only revealed her small face. She said shyly, “Brother, I forgot to bring a new set of pajamas. Help me get a set.”
Chu Yan smiled dotingly. He got up, walked to the wardrobe, and helped her get a set. Then, he went straight into the bathroom.
The bathroom was very big and there was an independent section inside. The sound of water could be heard from inside and the girl’s exquisite figure could be seen through the glass door.
If it was in the past, he would definitely go in together with her.
However, Chu Yan only took a glance at her and went out this time. He walked to the French window and dialed a number. He ordered coldly, “Hold her for now.”
–
When Mu Qingxue woke up, she realized that she was locked in an airtight room.
The room was very small, there were no windows or lights. There was only a heavy metal door. The room was empty, there was nothing in it. It was pitch-black as far as her eyes could see.
The surroundings were very quiet. There was not a single sound, it was so quiet that it was almost eerie.
Mu Qingxue couldn’t help but shiver.
She went from being terrified to having a glimmer of hope. She hoped that she could escape. Then, she became afraid. Finally, she was helpless and could only curl up in a corner.
Who kidnapped her? Why did they kidnap her.
The first thing that came to her mind was Ye Qingran. She was planning to scare Ye Qingran again today. However, Chu Ruoruo saw it. That woman, Ye Qingran, was so vicious. She would definitely not let her off easily if she kidnapped her.
It was definitely possible that Long Junyao had hired someone to kidnap her in order to get revenge on her.
Of course, it was also possible that Long Junyao was behind this. She went to look for Long Junyao today. Although she was helping Long Junyao and giving him a way out, it had also stimulated Long Junyao’s self-esteem. She could not rule out the possibility that he would become angry out of humiliation and directly kidnap her.
There was also Su Yian…
Su Yian had recently been fighting with Su Tianhang to the death, but he was a fake crown prince. How could he be a match for Su Tianhang? It was hard to say if he would be able to do anything to Su Tianhang, so he wanted to kidnap her to threaten Su Tianhang.
Long Junyao would not really do anything to her. The conditions she offered today were very touching.
Su Yian would definitely use her to make a deal with Su Tianhang if he kidnapped her. She realized that she would have a way to survive as long as she was not in Ye Qingran’s hands.
Ye Qingran was too vicious. She would definitely want to take her life.
What should she do?
Why did Ye Qingran insist on making things difficult for her? Why did this bad woman always want to harm her.
What should she do?
In an instant, Mu Qingxue thought of many possibilities and also imagined many ways to deal with them.
In the end, she realized that no countermeasures seemed to be effective against Ye Qingran. She could only pray that Su Tianhang would come and save her as soon as possible…
Time passed minute by minute. There was no sense of time, no sunrise, and no light could be seen. All she could see was endless darkness. Mu Qingxue did not know how long she had been imprisoned.
No one appeared either. It was as if Mu Qingxue had been abandoned here.
One or two days, time passed too slowly. However, she guessed that it hadn’t been more than seven days because she hadn’t eaten anything, but didn’t starve to death yet. In less than seven days, it felt as if a century had passed in the dark room.
She screamed and banged on the metal door with all her might. In the end, she fell into deep despair….
