Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife Chapter 377 Take You Away

"How long do you think the black smoke will spread on all tunnels aside from this one?" Zhao Liwei asked suddenly.

Gao Lan Mei almost forgot that Zhao Liwei is there as the man was so silent. "I don't know." She replied honestly.

At this time Gao Lan Mei also realized why Ma Fei Hong had decided to not let the citizens that cannot cultivate inside the safety chambers as it cannot hinder the black smoke from entering.

Even if Gao Lan Mei had setup defense walls now, if counting the citizens that are not able to leave the s.h.i.+zi Empire, they do not have enough s.p.a.ce for everyone.

"How much time do we still have left before the smoke reach this place?" Gao Lan Mei asked Wei Jiayi who is still looking at her intently. Since he is not responding, she called him out again. "Jiayi…"

"Huh?" Wei Jiayi's reply that confirms that he is not paying attention. He was creating a plan on how to take Gao Lan Mei out of this place, safely.

She then asked again then Wei Jiayi answered with indifference. "Should be soon. However, your defense well can keep it at bay. That should be enough time until Justice Affairs fix this problem which they have done sooner."

Though Wei Jiayi explained dismissively, Gao Lan Mei can feel that he is actually being sarcastic and unhappy.

"What's wrong?" She asked with concern, before standing in front of him. "Are you still worried?" Gao Lan Mei whispered under her breath as she looked at his eyes with distress.

Wei Jiayi raised his hands to hold Gao Lan Mei close but stopped before he was able to do so. He does not know where to touch her as afraid that he will hurt her again. "This is harder compared to my punishment, you know..."

"You only punished me for not touching you, I agree because at least I know that you are fine. Now, however..." Wei Jiayi released a deep breath like he is very exhausted. "I do not know if I can continue allowing you to do this."

"We promised to never lie remember? You are not lying but you are still hiding a thing from me. Mei Mei, I want to know everything about you. Whatever makes you happy or sad, I want to know everything. Especially when you are hurt so I can help you. If I cannot help personally, at least I can listen…." Wei Jiayi reached for her hand and placed it on his chest, where Gao Lan Mei can feel his heart beating.

"I want to do everything for you, not only because I am your husband but because, my heart, will stop functioning if I lost you…" Wei Jiayi continued to hold his eyes against her intently. "You are not alone on this. So please, do not hide anything from me…"

"Jiayi, I…" Gao Lan Mei uttered softly as felt the lump on her throat, her heart is beating fast just like him.

"Tell me before I decide to just take you away from all this and hide you somewhere. I will hide you on a place that you are allowed to get out." Wei Jiayi added with a smirk like he is trying to lighten the mood by being playful.

"Fine." It's not that she wants to hide things from him. Gao Lan Mei just does not want him to fret over a matter that can get solve soon.

After freeing bother her hands from him Gao Lan Mei started drawing magical transportation circle on the ground.

"Where are you going?" Wei Jiayi asked immediately before moving closer to Gao Lan Mei so he can grab her before she does anything else like leaving. "I thought we are going to talk."

"Yes. We are going to talk, alone." Gao Lan Mei replied with indifference. Wei Jiayi then held her by the waist.
