Ning Beiyao did not wake Shang Xian, but waited for her to wake up naturally.

Around nine o'clock, Shang Xian's biological clock went off. She happily opened her eyes, took out her phone to check it, rolled around on the bed for a bit, and then sat up.

As soon as she regained consciousness, she saw Ning Beiyao with a laptop on his lap, smiling at her.

Shang Xian pursed her lips, looked at it for three seconds, and then forced out a "Good morning."

Ning Beiyao replied while putting away his notebook, "I'll wait for you downstairs."

Ning Beiyao was a true gentleman in this respect; as soon as she woke up, he would leave the bedroom without hesitation.

Shang Xian glanced at the bedside. Ning Beiyao would prepare clothes for her and place them by the bedside every day, and they were all long-sleeved...

It's almost summer, and you're still dressing her in long sleeves?

Despite her complaints, Shang Xian changed into long sleeves, washed up, and went downstairs while holding onto the handrail.

Ning Beiyao had fish soup in a thermos, something he did every day.

Just as they approached Ning Beiyao, they caught a faint scent of rouge...

Shang Xian glanced at his neck and instantly understood that he had been exercising intensely last night.

"The checkup is done, so drink the fish soup," Ning Beiyao said, holding Shang Xian's hand with one hand and carrying a thermos in the other.

His thoughtfulness was undeniable, but... this kind of man was still too unsuitable for her; he couldn't put her at ease.

After a series of examinations, Shang Xian found no major problems. The most important issue was her congenital weakness, which she had since birth. There was no other way but to use traditional Chinese medicine to nourish her.

Ning Beiyao and An Zishang were talking about medication in the hospital courtyard, while Shang Xian, feeling bored, stood in the shade of the trees.

He started chatting with Shen Yi as if lost in thought: "[CEO, the checkup results show the same old problem: weak constitution]"

Shen Yi paused, his carbon pen still in his hand. [Well, there's nothing we can do about it then, we'll just have to keep it.]

I just—

Shang Xian was only halfway through her sentence when a black car drove past on the main road in front of her. Suddenly, it turned and crashed head-on into Shang Xian.

My mind went blank, and then four words popped into my head—premeditated murder!

Because she was standing between two trees, there was no obstruction to her path, and besides, she was on the tree-lined road, so the black car was heading straight for her!

Just as she was being approached from the car, she saw the person inside staring at her expressionlessly; it was clear they wanted to kill her!

When the car was about a meter away from hitting her, she screamed, and everyone around her gasped.

There was no pain. She was almost in shock as a man in black casual clothes pulled her into his arms and fell to the ground from the side. The man landed on his back while she was held tightly in his arms.

Ning Beiyao and An Zishang rushed over. Ning Beiyao helped Shang Xian up, while An Zishang arranged for someone to arrest the man who was driving.

Shang Xian's face turned even paler with fright, and Shen Yi's anxious voice still echoed in his mind.

The man sitting on the ground stood up, gently pinched Shang Xian's chin, and asked with a frown, "Little sister Yi, are you alright? I'm the one who's injured."

As he spoke, he pinched her cheeks, which was quite adorable.

Ning Beiyao then noticed that the man in the black casual clothes was Gong Ou, the head of a famous family in Luocheng.

Oh? The person in her contact name is him?

"Someone wants to kill me..." Shang Xian's mind was still filled with the face of that expressionless man who had just crashed into her.

Gong Ou reached out and hugged Shang Xian, ignoring Ning Beiyao's presence.

He patted Shang Xian on the back, saying in a roguish tone, "It's alright, it's alright. Whoever tries to kill you, I'll kill them for you, okay?"

"You're the eldest brother, so you say who to kill tonight, and we'll go kill that person, okay?"
