Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 457: 456 Escape

Her eyebrows were tightly knitted together, her mouth was firmly gagged, it was painful, and she had a swelling bump on her forehead.

Since yesterday afternoon, when they kidnapped her, she had been gagged, tied up— her arms and legs.

At first, she was very scared, the whole person was engulfed in deep fear, not knowing who these kidnappers were, or what they wanted.

It was not until she saw Xiao Wenqing that she felt relieved. She did not know why, but hearing Xiao Wenqing speak about her reasons for capturing her replaced all her fear with anger and worry.

Xiao Wenqing, that psychologically-deranged woman wanted to use her to capture Wen Ran.

Twenty days ago, she wanted to use Wen Ran’s background and physical condition to strike at her and Mo Xiuchen, but Mo Xiuchen had taken Wen Ran out of the country first.

Xiao Wenqing’s plot fell through, she herself became a widely known malicious woman and a fugitive. Desperate, she turned to her when she couldn’t find Wen Ran.

She even told her how she would deal with Wen Ran once she captured him.

Upon thinking about what could happen to Wen Ran if he fell into Xiao Wenqing’s hands, Bai Xiaoxiao wished she could kill Xiao Wenqing, her forehead bump incurred when she clashed with Wenqing.

Xiao Wenqing planned to use her to trap Wen Ran, she would rather die than let Wen Ran trade himself for her. Unfortunately, she was restrained and the force was dampened, resulting in only a bump on her forehead.

This is why one of the guys earlier was persuading the other not to harm her, because she was tough and he was afraid she would really die.

She glanced at the two people asleep on the bed and inspected the room once more. She had no idea where she was at the moment, only that it was an unfamiliar environment.

Earlier, it seemed like they had traveled on a rough road. The car journey had taken over two hours. Even if they were still within the boundaries of G City, they were likely in a remote rural area.

Her body was tied to a chair and she could not move at all.

Her hands were tied behind her back and she could not untie the ropes. Her gaze fell on the waist of the sleeping man on the bed, where he had a fruit knife.

Staring at the fruit knife, Bai Xiaoxiao’s heartbeat quickened.

She pressed her lips together tightly, weighing whether she could cut the rope with the fruit knife, and whether it would wake the two sleepers.

With the image of Xiao Wenqing’s ferocious face in her mind and the words she’d heard earlier, she decided to take a risk. If she could luckily escape, she wouldn’t have to implicate Wen Ran.

If she couldn’t, she would think of other ways. In any case, she couldn’t just sit and wait to die, waiting for Wen Ran to come to her.

The chair she sat on was neither close nor too far from the bed. After measuring the distance, she leaned forward and threw herself toward the bed.

With a soft collision, she landed between the bed and the chair, preventing the two hard objects from crashing into each other. However, a sharp pain came from her chest.

She gritted her teeth, bearing the pain from her chest, her eyebrows tightly furrowed.

The two people on the bed were not woken up by her. They had stayed awake until the early hours of the morning, once asleep, they slept soundly and were not easily awakened by minor noises.

However, how to get the knife from his waist was a problem.

Bai Xiaoxiao struggled to turn her body, along with the chair beneath her, and stretched out her tied hands slowly towards the man’s waist.

Her hands were tied, and only a few fingers could move.

Finally, after great difficulty, she got the fruit knife from the man’s waist. She was so tired that she had broken out in a cold sweat. Ignoring her fatigue and pain, she quickly used the fruit knife to cut the rope.

In the still room, apart from the two men snoring on the bed, the sound of the knife cutting the rope was the only other sound.

Time ticked by slowly, Bai Xiaoxiao’s nervousness grew thicker. She couldn’t see how much of the rope had been cut, and she didn’t dare to stop as long as the rope remained unbroken.

When the rope finally snapped, a wave of pain surged through the back of her hand.

The knife had cut into her skin.

She frowned, quickly untied the ropes from her hands, put the fruit knife in her pocket, and untied the ropes on her body.

The two men on the bed were still asleep.

She looked at the window outside, it was pitch dark.

Her eyes fell back on the two men, leaving this place would be very difficult for her. If she could use one of their phones to call home or the police…

“Xiaoxiao, don’t hurt Xiaoxiao!”

On the plane, Wen Ran was awakened by a nightmare.

“Ranran, don’t be afraid, it’s just a dream.”

Next to her, as soon as Mo Xiuchen heard her cry out, he immediately pulled her into his arms. When she opened her eyes, she was greeted with his worried gaze.

There were still tears in Wen Ran’s eyes.

Her small, pale face was filled with sadness. Seeing Mo Xiuchen beside her, and knowing that she was indeed still on the plane and had only been dreaming, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

“Xiuchen, I dreamt of Xiaoxiao.”

Her voice was filled with intense worry and fear. The dream she just had was too horrific, Xiao Wenqing, the deranged woman, actually had people harass Xiaoxiao right in front of her.

Mo Xiuchen held her hand, which was cold and slightly damp. He felt a wave of tension erupt in his heart, “Ranran, you’re too worried about Xiaoxiao, it’s just a dream, not reality.”

He didn’t know what she had dreamt of, but from her cries in her sleep, she must have dreamt of Xiao Wenqing hurting Bai Xiaoxiao…

“Xiuchen, Xiaoxiao will be okay, right?”

Feeling extremely worried, Wen Ran couldn’t rest until she saw Xiaoxiao. Her tear-filled eyes were firmly fixed on Mo Xiuchen, hoping to find reassurance from him.

“Of course, Xiaoxiao will be fine.”

Mo Xiuchen was very certain. His deep voice had a calming charm, the warmth from his palm slowly seeping through her skin, warming her heart, and dispelling the fear and worry inside.

Wen Ran pressed her lips together, striving hard to control her emotions.

After a while, she finally said, “Xiuchen, if Xiaoxiao gets hurt because of me again, I will never forgive myself in this lifetime.”

Upon hearing her words, Mo Xiuchen’s body stiffened slightly.

He held Wen Ran’s hand, tightening his hold subconsciously. He understood what she meant, if they could not save Xiaoxiao, even if she had to use herself to exchange, she was willing.

Not only that, she was telling him, if it came to that, she hoped that he wouldn’t stop her.

Because Xiaoxiao had already been injured once for her and almost lost her life, she couldn’t let her get hurt for her again.

Wen Ran lowered her eyes, hiding her small face in his warm chest. She could clearly feel Mo Xiuchen’s body stiffen and the power in his grip increase.

She knew he understood her, without her explicitly saying so, he understood the intentions of her heart.
