Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 204

Chapter 204: Chapter 204: Lost in the Rain

On the other hand, Su Qinglan was almost losing her mind from worry, her heart beating so wildly and painfully that even she couldn’t understand why it refused to calm down.

"Where is he?!" she shouted again, "Where is Xuan Long?! Someone tell me!"

Han Jue reached for her shoulders, his voice trembling as much as her hands.

"Lan Lan... please, come inside first. You’re getting drenched."

She yanked away angrily.

"I don’t care about the rain! I want my husband back! Why hasn’t anyone told me where he is?!"

Rong Ye stepped in front of her, blocking her path.

"Listen to us! We’re not hiding anything. The men who went with him—they said he just disappeared!"

"Disappeared?!" she repeated. "How can a giant snake disappear?! Was everyone blind?!"

Her three beast husbands were just as panicked because it was the very first time they had seen her this distressed, her hands trembling, her voice shaky, and the fear on her face was squeezing their hearts so tightly they couldn’t even breathe properly as they kept trying again and again to calm her down.

Rain dripped down her cheeks, mixing with the tears she didn’t want anyone to see.

Hu Yan tried to hold her arms gently.

"Qinglan... please calm down. You’re shaking. You shouldn’t be out here like this."

She shoved him weakly, crying harder.

"Don’t tell me to calm down! He’s out there somewhere! Something happened! I know it... my heart won’t stop beating!"

Su Qinglan refused every attempt, pushing them away, ignoring their words, and even trying to storm out of the tree shelter to interrogate the thirty beastmen who had gone with Xuan Long but returned without him.

Her father rushed toward them, his clothes soaked through, his hair dripping.

"Lan Lan!" he shouted. "Stop screaming like that! Come here!"

She turned toward him with red, swollen eyes.

"Father! They’re lying to me... Xuan Long would never leave like that!"

"No one is lying," he said firmly, grabbing her hands. "We will find him. Nothing will happen to him. He is stronger than all of us combined."

But she shook her head violently.

Because she was in no condition to listen to any comforting words, she was almost blinded by fear, and her voice cracked as she kept asking where he was, why no one had answers, what exactly happened.

And her eyes were so red that even the rain could not hide it completely, because even though the water washed her face clean, the redness in her eyes still made her husbands’ hearts twist painfully.

"You don’t understand! I feel something is wrong! Something terrible!"

Her father saw the trembling of her lips and the way she kept pressing a hand over her stomach to steady herself.

"You’re pregnant," he reminded softly. "You cannot let panic harm the little ones."

Her chest heaved.

"I can’t just sit and wait... not when he’s missing."

To them, seeing her like this made all three of them feel useless and guilty, thinking how incompetent they must be to not even keep her safe emotionally, let alone find the husband she was crying for.

And even worse, she was pregnant, and all of them knew stress was the last thing she should be experiencing, which made the guilt in their chests feel even heavier.
