Chapter 193: Chapter 193: I’m Afraid You’re Afraid

Seeing how timid the little rascal looked, Yun Shifei couldn’t help but gently kick it. "Weren’t you fearless around people? Why are you so scared now?"

The little rascal let out a howl, as if responding to her.

Admittedly, as the little rascal grew older, its intelligence seemed to be increasingly impressive.

Often, Yun Shifei felt like it could understand her words.

For example, whenever she praised it, it would wag its tail; but when she teased it, it would show its discontent.

This dog—has it become a spirit? It must’ve become a spirit, right?

Since Yun Tiancheng was absent, Yun Shifei’s meals were much simpler. She just boiled some noodles and added a few cabbage dumplings she had made a few days ago—it was enough for a meal.

The little rascal quietly ate its dog food.

After dinner, Yun Shifei washed the dishes and was about to watch TV. Who would’ve thought—snap!—the world plunged into darkness.

Amid the pitch-black surroundings, the girl’s wide eyes remained still and unwavering.

Inside, her heart whimpered with regret. She wished she had insisted on letting her father stay home. If she called Yun Tiancheng back now, would it be too late?

The neighborhood had lost power due to the typhoon.

The Cheng Family.

They had just finished eating when the house suddenly went dark.

"What’s going on here?" Zhao Haishuang erupted in anger but refrained from throwing things as she used to, since Cheng Guomin was present.

Given the typhoon’s arrival, Cheng Guomin had unexpectedly stayed home today instead of going to the company.

Zhao Haishuang had also prepared a table full of dishes, hoping to cheer him up.

Nowadays, she still wore makeup, but it was far from exquisite.

Her skin looked lifeless, and no amount of foundation could conceal the scars and wrinkles on her face.

She could only keep her hair loose in an attempt to cover her face.
