Chapter 161 Mom's awake! Where are you? You unfilial brat!

Xia Mian took out her phone and frowned when she saw the caller ID.

But she answered anyway, "Hello."

"Xia Mian! Where are you?" Xia Qinglin's accusatory voice rang out from the other end of the phone, carrying an uncompromising tone.

It was as if Xia Mian had committed some grave error.

"Where I am is none of your business." Xia Mian's eyebrows twitched when she heard Xia Qinglin's tone. "Did you call for something? If not, I'll hang up."

"Fine, I can't control you, right?" Xia Qinglin couldn't help but recall the Xia Mian of the past, the obedient and well-behaved Xia Mian.

When exactly did it begin?

How did Xia Mian become the unruly person she is now?

"Xia Mian, you have really disappointed us. Why can't you perform better?"

"I really don't know what kind of grudge we have against each other, that you're not coming home and don't even acknowledge us!"

"If you call to say these meaningless things, then I'm hanging up." Xia Mian was annoyed.

She didn't understand why, after so many things had happened, Xia Qinglin still had the right to lecture her with the tone and manner of an elder brother.

"Xia Mian, Mom is awake!"

Xia Qinglin's words made Xia Mian's mind explode like fireworks, buzzing loudly.

"What did you say?"

Xia Qinglin gave a sarcastic smile, "Mom used to love you the most. Now, you never go to the hospital to be with Mom."

"Xia Qinglin!" Xia Mian interrupted Xia Qinglin's self-righteous rambling.

She took a deep breath. "Don't you know best why I'm not going to the hospital to be with Mom?"

"What qualifications or standing do you have to criticize me?"

Xia Mianyuan thought she had already despised the three Xia brothers enough, but they always managed to set new lows.

"Xia Mian! I'm your brother! How dare you talk to me like that?" Xia Qinglin shouted angrily. "I order you to come to the hospital right now!"

"You didn't order me, did you? It was Mom! Mom woke up and couldn't see me, so she looked for me, right?" Xia Mian sneered. "I'll go back, not because of your orders, but because I miss Mom!"

"You don't deserve to be my daughter!" Xia Qingfeng couldn't take it anymore and snatched her older brother's phone, yelling, "Xia Mian, how can you talk like that? Where's your manners?"

"Oh, I don't want to waste any more time arguing with any of you about pointless things." Xia Mian hung up the phone decisively.

But her phone kept ringing; Xia Qinglin's number kept calling back.

Xia Mian hung up, but Xia Qingfeng called again using his own phone number. Finally, Xia Mian got so annoyed that she simply turned off her phone.

But then her mother's gentle face appeared in her mind. Her mother... had woken up!

Her eyes stung, and she turned her face away, gently wiping the corners of her eyes.

Fu Yanshen gently pulled her into his arms. "Don't be unhappy."

He sat next to Xia Mian and heard clearly what the Xia brothers were saying. The girl he cherished was being lectured and scolded by them.

A strong sense of displeasure flashed through my mind.

"I'm not unhappy. I'm happy that Mom woke up." Xia Mian forced a smile, her eyes meeting the man's deep, dark eyes. "I want to go back."

"Okay, let's go now." Fu Yanshen cupped Xia Mian's face and kissed her forehead.

His dark, bright eyes, refined features, and straight nose, illuminated by the campfire, made him appear as handsome as a bewitching male demon.

He could only see her.

The starry sky is not as magnificent and dazzling as that one person.

He easily soothed Xia Mian's irritability. "Thank you, Fu Yanshen."

Fu Yanshen scooped up Xia Mian and held her in his arms. Xia Mian's fingertips touched the man's eyebrows and eyes.

His kisses roamed over Xia Mian's fair neck, tickling her slightly.

The man simply picked her up horizontally, and while holding her, he lowered his head and gently nibbled on the soft flesh behind her neck, and continued walking forward.

Xia Mian hooked her arms around his neck and responded to him.

A man's lips are soft and cool, but they get hotter and hotter as you kiss them.

He kissed her fiercely, and Xia Mian leaned against him, breathing softly, somewhat unable to resist.

Once in the room, the man grabbed the girl's chin and kissed her again, gently biting her lips in a tender and intimate way.

He bit Xia Mian's ear again, harder than before, "Mianmian, we'll be separated again when we go back."

His voice was filled with suppressed reluctance, "I don't want Mianmian to go back to school."

"I don't want Mianmian to live in the dormitory."

I wish I could be with Mianmian every moment, and never be apart!

I want to keep Mianmian by my side, forever in my arms, like conjoined twins.

Xia Mian sensed Fu Yanshen's intense reluctance to part, and she felt reluctant to part as well.

But... there's nothing I can do.

The private plane roared, its propellers spinning wildly, creating strong winds as it slowly rose into the night sky.

Xia Mian gazed at the twinkling stars in the dark night sky outside the window, then looked down at the calm sea below, which appeared solemn and profound in the darkness.

Before she knew it, she was sleepy and snuggled into Fu Yanshen's arms, gradually falling asleep.

Fu Yanshen looked down at the girl in his arms, feeling reluctant and heartbroken.

These past two days have been a brief but blissful experience, like a dream.

As dawn broke, the plane finally arrived in Ming City.

After getting off the plane, Xia Mian was carried horizontally by Fu Yanshen and put directly into a Rolls-Royce.

She slowly opened her hazy eyes and looked at the pattering rain outside the window.

"Is it raining?"

The sky was overcast, and a light drizzle fell continuously, enveloping the entire city in a misty rain, as if draped in a gloomy veil.

The air was slightly cool, and the ground was damp.

"It's still early, you can sleep a little longer." Fu Yanshen had barely slept all night, holding her in his arms the whole time, watching her peaceful sleeping face.

The reluctance in his heart prevented him from closing his eyes; he just wanted to see her one more time, one more time.

"I don't want to sleep." Xia Mian looked at the man's handsome face, and was taken aback when she saw the dark circles under his eyes. "You didn't sleep last night?"

He wouldn't be holding her the whole time, would he?

"Can't sleep." Fu Yanshen smiled slightly, gently rubbing the green stubble around his lips against Xia Mian's delicate cheek, causing a ticklish sensation.

Xia Mian pushed his face away, "Don't prick me..."

It's so itchy and numb.

She hugged his strong waist with concern, "How can you not sleep? Then don't work this morning, catch up on your sleep."

"No, I have things to do." Fu Yanshen was able to spare two days to play with Xia Mian, which was a short vacation he had earned by working hard in advance.

As they got closer to the hospital, he opened the breakfast he had prepared. "Eat something first."
