Chapter 149 I'm Not a Little Darling

Just when Xia Yue thought she was about to meet her death.

A pair of strong, powerful arms lifted her up.

The feeling of suffocation disappeared.

She vaguely heard someone calling in her ear, forbidding her from dying.

Of course she didn't want to die.

But she was so tired, so very tired...

Xia Yue eventually fell into a coma.

The family doctor from the estate rushed over to provide immediate medical attention.

Fortunately, thanks to timely emergency treatment, Xia Yue's life was not in danger.

Meanwhile, Shen Xiangxiang was also rescued by Shang Zexi.

However, she was in the water for a longer time, and her situation was more complicated than Xia Yue's.

After settling the people in, Shang Zexi immediately checked the surveillance footage.

Seeing that Shen Xiangxiang had accidentally fallen into the water, he suppressed his murderous intent.

Even so, he still married you, and his anger was directed at He Lu.

“If you hadn’t provoked her, how could she have fallen? Miss He, you have done Qin Yeting a favor, but it has nothing to do with me.”

Outside the ward, Shang Zexi stared coldly at He Lu, his voice like a poisoned ice blade.

He Lu trembled all over; it was the first time she had ever seen this good-natured young master of a merchant family display such a domineering aura.

She wanted to put on an act, but not to hurt others; she wanted to hurt herself.

Let alone Shen Xiangxiang, even Xia Yue, if she had a thousand times the courage, she wouldn't dare to torment the person that the master cherished so much, into the water.

Otherwise, she herself wouldn't be able to survive.

"Young Master Shang, I really didn't mean to..." He Lu's eyes were slightly red, and her voice was trembling with tears.

"Instead of playing the victim here, you should pray that Xiangxiang gets out of danger soon." Shang Zexi glared at He Lu again, then turned and walked into the emergency room.

He Lu was afraid that Shang Zexi would really kill her, so she quickly went to Qin Yeting to make an impression.

Qin Yeting was standing guard beside Xia Yue at this moment.

Xia Yue's body was no longer in danger, but she was still unconscious.

After He Lu went in, she cautiously called out, "Mr. Qin."

Qin Yeting didn't even glance at He Lu; his gaze was entirely fixed on Xia Yue.

Seeing this, He Lu stood quietly to the side without saying a word, but her expression was full of grievance.

Her head injury hadn't healed yet, and her head was constantly aching, as if it were about to split open.

Before Xia Yue appeared, Mr. Qin would definitely have cared about her.

But now, Mr. Qin despises her so much.

Although... she wasn't really "Little Darling," she had enjoyed a period of being cared for, and she truly hoped to be protected forever.

At this moment, Xia Yue, who was in a coma, had a nightmare.

In her dream, she lived with her master in the deep mountains.

She was in great pain and at one point couldn't breathe.

And her master kept repeating in her ear, "You're not Xiao Guai, you're not..."

"I'm not... I'm not..."

Xia Yue repeated softly.

Qin Yeting stayed by Xia Yue's side and heard her talking in her sleep. He held Xia Yue's hand and comforted her, "Okay, you're not, you're not."

"I'm not Xiao Guai... not Xiao Guai..." Xia Yue repeated in her sleep.

This time, Qin Yeting was stunned.

Why would Xiaoyue say that?

Could it be that he mistakenly thought Xiaoyue'er was Xiaoguai before and called her that, so she has a lingering trauma now?

Thinking of this, Qin Yeting felt even more guilty.

When He Lu heard Xia Yue's words, she began to panic, her eyes filled with guilt.

She was afraid that if Xia Yue continued talking, she would reveal something.

He Lu, her voice trembling with tears, quickly said to Qin Yeting, "Mr. Qin, I'm so sorry, it's all my fault! Please punish me!"

"You're too noisy, get out." Qin Yeting said with a stern face.

He Lu didn't leave, and continued in an even louder voice, "No, to make up for my mistake, I will kneel here until Madam wakes up before I leave!"

Qin Yeting glanced impatiently at He Lu!

He suspected that the person was doing it on purpose, deliberately disturbing Xiaoyue'er's rest!

He Lu's outburst actually woke Xia Yue from her nightmare.

"I'm not Xiao Guai!"

As soon as those words were spoken, Xia Yue opened her eyes.

When Qin Yeting saw that Xia Yue had woken up, he didn't have time to scold He Lu and quickly inquired about Xia Yue's condition.

"Little Yue'er, how are you? Are you alright?" Qin Yeting asked quickly.

Xia Yue looked at Qin Yeting, and in her daze, she felt that Qin Yeting's face overlapped with a younger face in her memory.

It seemed like she had seen him a long, long time ago.

But when Xia Yue thought about it more deeply, she felt a headache coming on.

Seeing Xia Yue frown, Qin Yeting quickly hugged her and gently comforted her, "It's alright, it's alright, I'm here."

Upon hearing Qin Yeting's voice, Xia Yue gradually regained consciousness and forgot about the dream.

All she remembered was falling into the water while trying to save Shen Xiangxiang.

"Ting, did you save me? What about Xiangxiang? How is she now?" Xia Yue asked, not forgetting to check on her friend.

Qin Yeting said, "I saved you. Shen Xiangxiang is being taken care of by Shang Zexi, so you don't need to worry."

"That's good." Xia Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately afterwards, she noticed that He Lu was also in the room.

Seeing He Lu reminded her of Qin Yeting's unrequited love and the time she spent as his stand-in.

Xia Yue was somewhat annoyed.

"What are you doing here? What kind of show are you putting on?" Xia Yue directly questioned He Lu.

He Lu quickly explained, "Madam Qin, I was just concerned about you. Since you don't want to see me, I'll leave now."

After saying that, He Lu turned and left without any hesitation.
