Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 1623 - 1625

"Mm." Li Chuntao nodded, tears streaming from her eyes, but her lips formed a faint smile.

She was genuinely overjoyed because she saw Yang Dong.

In such a dangerous moment, Yang Dong hadn’t abandoned her; instead, he came to rescue her. That was enough; she hadn’t fallen for the wrong person.

But just as she felt she could be saved, her entire body suddenly dropped a little.

This instantly made her heart leap to her throat and her eyes widen.

Because she realized a fact: the vine she was holding on to seemed like it couldn’t hold on any longer, and it was likely to break.

What to do?

Yang Dong hadn’t gotten there yet!

To avoid worrying Yang Dong, she didn’t make a sound. She couldn’t speak, couldn’t let him get distracted.

Li Chuntao prayed, holding her breath, hoping the vine could hold on a little longer.

Above, Yang Dong had no idea that Li Chuntao was about to fall at any moment.

But even if he didn’t know, he wanted to get to Li Chuntao’s side as quickly as possible to rescue her as soon as he could.

He moved swiftly, his hands and feet working in sync while ensuring his own safety, getting closer and closer to Li Chuntao until he finally reached her side moments later.

He exhaled in relief, reached out his hand, and looked at Li Chuntao with tenderness on his face, "Give me your hand."

Seeing Yang Dong right above her, Li Chuntao felt extremely at ease, thinking that as long as she handed her hand over, she could be saved. She reached out, trying to grab Yang Dong’s hand, but at that moment, the vine finally gave way and broke.

This sudden situation made Li Chuntao scream, "Ah!"

This time, Yang Dong wouldn’t allow Li Chuntao to fall in front of him a second time. He reacted swiftly, clutching the broken vine tightly, "Don’t be afraid, I’ve got you."

Li Chuntao thought this time she would really fall, but she didn’t expect she still wouldn’t.

She looked up at Yang Dong and saw the effort on his face. Li Chuntao knew the vine Yang Dong was holding might not last much longer. If it were just Yang Dong, maybe, but now there was also her added weight.

The vine didn’t have the capacity to bear them both; eventually, they would fall.

If that were the case, it might be better if she fell alone.

"I’ll pull you up with all my strength. Once you’re up, grab onto me," Yang Dong said to Li Chuntao, then exerted all his strength to pull on the vine she clung to, hoping to bring her closer to him.

Seeing Yang Dong like this, Li Chuntao felt it was already enough; it was enough that he came down to save her.

She didn’t want to see him die with her; she wanted him to live well.

Even though Yang Dong was trying so hard to save her, she knew she couldn’t hold on anymore.

Because she didn’t have the strength to hold onto the vine anymore.

All her strength was gone.

The wound on her waist hurt; her eyes were blurred and unable to see clearly.

Her head felt a little dizzy.

She looked up to Yang Dong, trying hard to open her eyes wide, wanting to remember his face in her final moments.

Actually, Yang Dong’s strength was almost gone too, but he was still holding on, clenching the vine with all his might. The veins on his arms were visible; he wouldn’t allow himself to let go, he couldn’t give up. Finally, he pulled Li Chuntao up a bit; with a little effort, she could grab his foot.

He immediately shouted to Li Chuntao, "Quick, grab my foot."
