After a wealthy woman went bankrupt, her live-in husband became her sugar daddy.

Chapter 111 Wolves

Seeing that I was awake, he relit the fire.

"I'm going out to find some food later. You stay in the house with the wolf cubs and don't run around."

Upon hearing this, I nodded in agreement.

After giving his instructions, Jiang Yichen left the house again.

The little wolf stared intently at me, its eyes filled with a hint of ferocity.

For some reason, when I look at it, I always feel like I'm seeing Jiang Yichen's silhouette.

They look so alike, especially their eyes.

Looking at the little wolf, I reached out my hand in its direction and called out to it.

The little wolf's eyes betrayed suspicion, yet it still tentatively took a few steps toward my position.

I raised my voice and kept calling to it.

The wolf cub was initially wary of me, but perhaps seeing that I posed no threat, it boldly moved closer.

I stroked the little wolf's head with satisfaction, my heart softening a little.

The little wolf nudged my palm with its head.

I found myself inexplicably thinking of giving it a name.

"From now on, you'll be working for me, so I'll call you CC."

I played with the little wolf for a while, and then Jiang Yichen brought back some wild fruit.

Without the slightest hesitation, he gave me all the wild fruit.

Seeing his reaction, I shook my head and returned the wild fruit.

"You eat first, I'm not very hungry."

Looking at these wild fruits, I couldn't help but swallow.

I hadn't eaten all day, and I was starving.

But I knew that food was limited, and he needed to replenish his energy more than I did.

I'm fine even if I'm hungry. Jiang Yichen has been taking care of me, so I can't let him go hungry.

After all, I need him on this deserted island.

But Jiang Yichen just glanced at me and said casually.

"Don't worry about me, I've already eaten. These are the leftovers."

Upon hearing this, I felt relieved.

I grabbed a fruit, wiped it on my clothes, and popped it into my mouth.

The fruit that Jiang Yichen found was slightly sour and astringent, but very juicy.

Even if it doesn't fill your stomach, it can at least replenish your fluids.

It's already quite good that we can find these things on the island now.

We stayed on the deserted island for several days with the little wolf.

During this period, not a single person visited the isolated island.

We could only rely on Jiang Yichen to go out during the day to find some food to fill our stomachs.

But fate is unpredictable. Jiang Yichen suddenly developed a high fever and fell into a deep sleep, showing no signs of waking up.

I was terrified and, ignoring my own foot injury, I tried my best to help him to the bed.

When I lifted Jiang Yichen's clothes, I noticed that he had quite a few wounds on his body.

Even more seriously, the wound became infected and festered.

He didn't utter a sound even though it was so serious.

Seeing that Jiang Yichen was in really bad condition, I could only limp along with Mu Tou to the beach.

I lit all the wood, trying to make the smoke and fire as big as possible.

If anyone is still searching, they should be able to see my distress message.

It was getting dark, and I was wearing only thin clothes. The sea breeze made me shiver.

Even so, I don't want to give up; this is our only chance to be saved.

I gritted my teeth and persevered, but no rescue came.

Both the sky above and the sea were eerily calm.

My heart grew colder and colder.

Suddenly, I faintly heard the low howling of wolves.

Before I could react, dozens of wolves rushed out of the forest and surrounded me.

I was about to grab a lit piece of wood and aim it at the wolves.

They were delusional to think they could use this method to defend themselves.

Unexpectedly, the wolves became even more excited after seeing the firelight.

Who would have thought that there would be a pack of wolves in the woods of a deserted island in the middle of the sea?

Seeing the wolves baring their teeth at me, my heart pounded with fear, terrified that I would be torn to pieces if I wasn't careful.

The wolf pack gradually reduced the area surrounding me.

I swallowed hard and gripped the wooden stick in my hand even tighter.

Just when I thought I was about to die, Jiang Yichen suddenly appeared, holding the little wolf in his arms.

Upon seeing the wolf cubs, the wolf pack became increasingly agitated, staring intently at us.

The wolf cub in my arms let out a soft howl, and the pack of wolves instantly fell silent.

Seeing this, Jiang Yichen quickly put the wolf cub on the ground and gestured for it to go to the wolf pack.

After the wolf cub returned to the pack, the wolves that had been baring their teeth at us retreated.

Jiang Yichen was very dissatisfied with my actions and angrily cursed at me.

"Gu Mo, don't you have any common sense? Don't you know that lighting a fire at night will attract wolves?"

I never expected things to turn out this way. Faced with his insults, I could only lower my head and endure it.

His emotions grew increasingly agitated, and his insults became increasingly offensive.

I can only force myself not to think about these things.

I took this risk for him.

But Jiang Yichen's voice grew weaker and weaker, and then with a thud, he collapsed to the ground.

Jiang Yichen fainted again, and I was terrified. I quickly went over and helped him up from the ground.

But then I realized that he was burning up incredibly hot.

"Jiang Yichen, how are you?"

I called out to him as I tried to help him up.

He had his eyes closed, and he looked like he was in great pain.

I was extremely anxious, constantly whispering his name, afraid that he would fall asleep and never wake up.

Just then, I heard the sound of an airplane propeller.

I gently placed Jiang Yichen on the ground, then picked up the wooden stick again and waved it, trying to attract the rescue team's attention.

Fortunately, we were lucky, and the rescue team found us.

Seeing the rescue team land, my heart also felt at ease.

My consciousness gradually faded, and the sounds around me gradually disappeared.

I regained consciousness in the hospital.

The doctor happened to come over at that moment to check on my condition.

The wound on my ankle has been treated, and thankfully the animal trap didn't get caught in my veins, so it no longer affects my normal activities.

I asked the doctor about Jiang Yichen's condition.

The doctor told me that Jiang Yichen had multiple fractures, and the exposed areas were infected. Most importantly, he had not eaten for a long time.

The thought that he had given all his food to me on the deserted island left me stunned.

It turns out he was lying when he said he had eaten, just to give me the food.

But how could I possibly deserve him going to such lengths for me?

I quickly got out of bed, wanting to go see Jiang Yichen.

Before I could even walk over, Lin Nan and I bumped into each other in the corridor.

She was out of breath, as if she had rushed over.

Upon seeing me, Lin Nan's expression instantly changed, and she immediately blocked my path.

"Gu Mo, I hope you will stop having contact with Yi Chen."

I knew she was blaming me for this, and knowing I was in the wrong, I could only try to reason with her.

"I'll check on his condition and then leave; it won't affect him."

Even so, Lin Nan refused to budge.

"No, you'd better get out of here right now if you know what's good for you."

Knowing that I couldn't force my way in, I had no choice but to compromise for the time being.

I was unwilling to accept this, so I wanted to secretly keep an eye on Jiang Yichen's situation.

But not only did I not even get to see Jiang Yichen, I was also discovered by Lin Nan.

Seeing that I was still persistent, Lin Nan warned me again.

"Gu Mo, once Yi Chen recovers, we will get engaged. I hope you won't be ungrateful again."

Upon hearing this news, I felt as if I had been struck by lightning.

Although I had expected that this day would come for the two of them, I was still incredibly saddened when I actually heard it.

I don't even know how I left the hospital.
