Chapter 112: Chapter 112: For No Reason

Hua Buwan didn’t want to get tangled up with her any further, so she replied, "I’ve been out restocking recently. I’m not at the supermarket, so it’s useless even if you come."

After everything that had happened, Hua Buwan had no intention of opening the store for the next few days. She figured she should just take a break for a while.

The moment she sent the message, Hua Ying’er replied, "When are you coming back?"

Hua Buwan ignored her. She thought to herself that she needed to find a permanent solution. She couldn’t let them harass her forever.

After replying, Hua Buwan felt physically and mentally exhausted. She tossed her phone aside and fell into a deep sleep.

That night, she was plagued by nightmares. Her dreams were filled with wild wolves chasing her relentlessly. As she ran for her life, the system suddenly appeared to save her, offering her an ultimate wolf-killing technique. Hearing this, Hua Buwan was deeply grateful—until she realized the "ultimate technique" was actually... the Wild Wolf Disco. The rest of her dream consisted of her chasing the system around, beating and scolding it all night long.

She didn’t wake up until late afternoon. When she finally got out of bed, her head was still groggy.

Because she had slept straight through the day, Hua Buwan had no idea that Hua Ying’er had actually shown up downstairs at the supermarket. Hua Ying’er had waited there all morning, only leaving at noon. Refusing to believe Lin Wan’er’s words, she had come to verify the situation herself and only left after confirming the store was closed.

"Welcome."

Hua Buwan’s ears immediately perked up at the sound.

She hadn’t opened the front doors today, which meant the voice could only have come from the back door. Was Ling Qianjun here?

Without even taking the time to tidy up or put on her slippers, Hua Buwan dashed down the stairs barefoot, her feet going PATTER PATTER PATTER against the floor.

Seeing Ling Qianjun standing safe and sound in front of her, Hua Buwan was overjoyed. Unable to hold herself back, she rushed forward and threw her arms around him. Encountering the wolf pack last night had been far too terrifying. Even after returning home, she hadn’t stopped worrying about him. Fortunately, the ordeal was finally over.

Feeling her embrace, a surge of warmth rushed through Ling Qianjun’s heart. He gently wrapped his arms around her, taking in her warmth and softness. The sound of his own heartbeat echoed in his ears, betraying his inner excitement and nervousness. Time seemed to stand still as they both immersed themselves in the warm tranquility of the moment.

However, he knew he couldn’t hold her like this forever, fearing it would make her uncomfortable. Slowly, he loosened his grip, allowing her to step back from his embrace.

Hua Buwan looked up into his eyes, a faint smile playing on her lips. To Ling Qianjun, her gaze seemed filled with gratitude and tenderness, as if she was telling him that she felt his sentiments too.

In reality, Hua Buwan was thinking to herself, "Wow, he truly was a General once! His muscles are so solid." ℴℴ𝘮

His heartbeat still pounded in his ears. He knew he liked Hua Buwan very much—it was an emotion he had never felt for any other woman. Gently, he patted her head and comforted her, "Don’t be afraid. It’s alright now."

Hua Buwan looked into his eyes again. Remembering the Ling family, she couldn’t help but ask, "What about the others? Is your family okay?"

Ling Qianjun smiled and nodded. "Yes, they are all fine."

After that exchange, a sudden silence fell over the room.

Recalling their embrace just moments ago, a blush crept across Hua Buwan’s cheeks, and she shyly lowered her head. Seeing her reaction, Ling Qianjun’s face flushed red, and he lowered his head as well.

Hua Buwan realized she had acted on pure impulse. In that moment, she just wanted to hug him—no particular reason why. But it was over now, and Ling Qianjun probably wouldn’t mind.

Letting out a long breath, she put on a bright smile and said, "That’s good. It’s good that everyone is safe."

They looked at each other and smiled.
