“I will make up for the love I didn’t give you before, starting now,” Zhou Jingming said, carrying her on his back as they walked lightly down the hospital corridor.

Su Xi is tall.

Yet, she still appeared petite and delicate.

Zhou Jingming seemed to feel no weight at all, moving as fast as the wind.

Su Xi rested her face against his shoulder, her voice gentle, "How can I make it up to you?"

"I will cherish you, love you, and protect you even more."

His sweet words are really nice to hear.

Every word he said went into my ears.

It felt like it was pressed against her heart.

Su Xi's heart fluttered, and she couldn't help but kiss him. "Okay, I believe what you say."

"Zhou Jingming, we want to be together for the rest of our lives."

“One lifetime isn’t enough,” he paused, turning his head to return her kiss, “For all eternity, I will be your husband.”

The decade or so he missed was due to his lack of self-confidence.

That's why he mistakenly thought that Su Xi didn't like him and liked Lin Ye.

He even chose to disguise himself as a prodigal son.

This is what caused the two to drift apart for so long.

For the rest of his life, he will make up for the years he missed and make her the happiest woman in the world.

"You're already thinking about the next life before this one is even over? Zhou Jingming, you're too greedy." Though she said this, Su Xi was incredibly satisfied.

Zhou Jingming didn't think he was being greedy; she was his wife, after all.

Both body and soul belong to him.

"God will grant my wish," he believed, adding that their journey to where they are today was destined.

He loves Su Xi so much, how could God bear to see him lose?

The two walked out of the hospital, but Zhou Jingming did not get into the car and continued to carry Su Xi forward.

"Want to walk back?" Su Xi blinked, realizing the man's intention.

Zhou Jingming said, "I want to focus on spending time with you."

Driving will distract him.

At this moment, Zhou Jingming just wanted to carry her on his back and keep walking forward.

Su Xi insisted, "Your injuries haven't fully healed yet. Your body can't handle carrying you like this."

"It's fine."

She is very light.

Even when he gets old, he can still carry it.

"If you want to love me, you have to love yourself first. If you don't have a healthy body, you'll only make me worry. Zhou Jingming, I don't want anything to happen to you."

She insisted on getting down.

Zhou Jingming had no choice but to agree in the end.

The two returned to the car and sat down.

Zhou Jingming considerately helped her fasten her seatbelt and slowly started the accelerator. "Rest for a bit, I'll call you when we get home."

Su Xi nodded.

She was indeed tired.

I closed my eyes and quickly fell asleep.

In fact, Zhou Jingming didn't call her when they got home.

They carried her directly from the car back to the room.

Goodnight, my darling.

He gently kissed her eyebrows and eyes, then left the bedroom and went to the study.

Yuan Shen appeared behind him.

He nodded respectfully, "Sir."

"Any leads?"

When he rushed to find Su Xi, the assassin drove past him. He immediately called Yuan Shen to chase after him.

Yuan Shen apologized, saying, "I'm useless; they got away."

"The other party was very cunning, leading our people in circles before finally abandoning the vehicle and fleeing. Our people searched the entire area around Longtan Lake but found no suspicious persons."

Zhou Jingming narrowed his eyes.

Su Xi said that the other party was extremely skilled.

He's a trained fighter.

He was a middle-aged man.

He wasn't sure when he had offended the other party.

But that bullet was exactly the same model as the gun that hit him.

This is definitely not a coincidence.

"Keep a close watch on the area around Longtan Lake. I don't believe the fox won't show its tail."

The enemy is in the open.

They are in the shadows.

The situation is very unfavorable for them.

“We have men all around them. If they dare to show themselves, they will not escape our grasp.” Yuan Shen was very confident.

Zhou Jingming, however, felt that things were not so simple.

His men were all elites trained in the Jedi, with unparalleled agility and pursuit skills.

Besides, so many people were mobilized.

It's impossible that we didn't find a single clue.

Unless, of course, the assassin's hideout is in an unexpected place.

Or perhaps, some means were used to cover it up.

"Go and investigate the origin of this bullet." Zhou Jingming handed the bullet to Yuan Shen.

Yuan Shen took it and nodded, "I'll take care of it right away."

After Yuan Shen left, Zhou Jingming stayed in the study for a while before returning to the master bedroom.

Su Xi was sleeping soundly, her breathing even.

As soon as he approached, she rolled over and nestled sweetly into his arms.

"Honey~"

Zhou Jingming hugged her tightly and kissed her deeply for a long time. "Xi'er, I am very happy."

...

Because Li Xuemei was almost kidnapped, Su Xi asked Fu Yu to secretly install a camera in the ward.

The camera was hidden in a concealed location.

It is absolutely impossible for anyone to discover it.

Zhou Jingming even had Xu Qingcheng disguise herself as a nurse and infiltrate the hospital, keeping a 24-hour watch on every move in the ward.

Everything was arranged perfectly.

The assassin never appeared again.

But this does not mean it is safe.

For safety reasons, Su Xi and Zhou Jingming were extra careful when they went out.

The photoshoot for the brand ambassador also proceeded as scheduled.

On the same day, Zhou Jingming also participated in the opening ceremony and officially announced the start of the event.

Su Xi got along well with the children at the orphanage, and Xiao Mei also became very familiar with them during this time, so the filming went very smoothly.

Su Rou comes to the orphanage to help whenever she has free time.

The children all like her very much.

While interacting with Su Xi, Su Rou also appeared. Lele suddenly pestered Su Xi, "Sister Xi'er, can Sister Su Rou join in too?"

"We also like Sister Su Rou."

"Sister Su Rou is so good to us. Now she helps us with our homework and cooks delicious food for us."

"..."

Su Xi's expression turned somewhat unpleasant as she listened to the group of children defending Su Rou.

Su Rou thought she was unhappy, so she waved her hand and said, "Sister Xi'er is the main character. It's not appropriate for me to get involved. You guys play, I'll just watch from the side."

Lele also thought that Su Xi would not agree.

He lowered his head unhappily.

This was the first time Su Xi had ever seen Lele like this.

I was quite surprised.

Unexpectedly, in just a few days, Su Rou has already gained everyone's approval.

At this moment, Su Xi hesitated.

Su Rou turned around, her back view radiating endless loneliness.

For some reason, her heart softened, and she couldn't help but call out to her, "Since the children want you to keep them company, play with them. I'm tired too, I'll rest for a while."

Su Rou was stunned.

She thought that Su Xi now hated her to the core.

I definitely don't want her to get close.

To my surprise, she actually agreed.

"Xi'er, thank you." Su Rou's voice was hoarse with excitement, and her body trembled slightly.

Su Xi said expressionlessly, "Don't overthink it. This is the child's wish. You should thank them."
