Startled, Tang Li instinctively dodged to the side, while Xi Leng crashed straight into the opposite wall. Because she couldn't support herself with her hands, she could only use her head as a brake, breaking her forehead and causing it to bleed.
Song Bocheng was terrified.
Having lived to a ripe old age, he had never seen a woman so out of control.
This person is his daughter, whom he has cherished and pampered for over a decade.
She was once the pride of his life, outstanding in appearance, academically accomplished, and with a promising future.
She never expected that Tang Li, just by standing there, could cause her to crumble so easily.
Tang Li was also startled. She subconsciously raised her hand and looked at Song Bocheng:
"Uncle, I didn't do anything. You saw it with your own eyes."
Xi Leng winced in pain, but couldn't lift his hand to touch it. He could only glare fiercely at Tang Li and say:
"You slut."
Tang Li limped two steps toward Song Bocheng:
"Xi Leng, I haven't done anything to you."
Xi Leng, his eyes bloodshot, roared:
"Tang Li, you bitch, I'll fight you to the death."
You can say she'll give it her all, but after taking two steps forward, Tang Li merely glared at her, and she floated down to the ground.
To be precise, he fainted.
Tang Li immediately reached out and grabbed Song Bocheng's arm for help:
“Uncle, even if I’m not three meters away from her, I’m at least two arms’ length away. I’m not a monster, I don’t have any magic powers. Her accident has nothing to do with me.”
If we're talking about someone who's closer to Xiling, it's Song Bocheng.
Song Bocheng's reaction speed was clearly not keeping up, probably because he was getting older.
When Huo Chenyu returned after talking with Jiang Mian, he saw Xi Leng faint on the ground and stood up from his wheelchair, enduring the pain as he walked towards them.
In that instant, Tang Li recalled many scenes from melodramatic TV dramas where the female lead is misunderstood by the blind male lead.
She could even hear Huo Chenyu rushing over and roaring at her.
However, the truth is...
Huo Chenyu practically strode past Xi Leng to Tang Li's side, immediately shielding her eyes and pulling her into his arms, whispering:
"Are you alright? Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here for you."
Tang Li blinked, hardly believing her ears.
She peeked half her head out from Huo Chenyu's embrace and said in a muffled voice:
"She's just passed out, not dead. What do I have to be afraid of?"
However, after saying that, Tang Li still added an explanation:
“My uncle can testify that her fainting had nothing to do with me. I was far away from her and didn’t touch a hair on her head.”
Huo Chenyu took her directly back to the ward, leaving her with the words:
"Uncle, you should transfer her to another hospital. This hospital can't treat her illness."
After entering the ward, Tang Li asked curiously:
"What disease does she have? Why do they say that such a big hospital can't cure her? Could it be a terminal illness? Is it serious? Is it like Xiao Yu's? How long can she live? Aren't we being too cruel to her? I'll avoid her from now on. I was just standing there when she bumped into the wall and fainted. People who don't know the situation would think I have magic."
Listening to her rambling, it felt like we were instantly transported back to the time when they had just gotten married.
She moved from Jincheng to Tanzhou after marrying him, and every day she revolved around him, with endless chatter and countless interesting stories to tell.
Huo Chenyu gazed at her with deep affection in his eyes:
"You have magic."
Tang Li was speechless: "I don't know any magic. It's not me. Believe it or not, it's up to you. I'm the kind of person who holds grudges, but I would never do such a despicable thing behind someone's back. I'll say whatever I want to people's faces, open and honest, with a clear conscience."
Huo Chenyu chuckled:
"Then why am I so deeply involved and unable to extricate myself?"
Well...
Here we go again!
Tang Li pushed him away: "Huo Chenyu, I'm talking to you about serious matters. If you keep flirting with me, I have nothing to say to you. I want to be discharged from the hospital. I'm perfectly healthy and not sick or injured. I'm not going to stay in a place like this and smell the disinfectant with you."
Huo Chenyu nodded:
"Alright, I'll allow you to be discharged from the hospital after Xiling leaves Lucheng."
"She's leaving Lucheng?"
Tang Li was very surprised:
“Didn’t she just come back? Even if she can’t be the leader of Dong Song, Song Bocheng is already so old. Although she is an adopted daughter, shouldn’t she be able to stay by his side? She can’t just run away abroad every time something happens.”
Seeing her talking to herself, Huo Chenyu suddenly became very immersed in this feeling.
Tang Li rambled on for a while, only to find that Huo Chenyu hadn't answered a single question.
Therefore, he was very dissatisfied:
"Fine, I won't force you. I know you have nothing to talk about with me."
Huo Chenyu reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her tightly into his embrace:
“You know what? At this moment, it feels like we’ve gone back to when we first got married. We belong only to each other. You have so much to say to me. No matter what you say, it sounds wonderful to me. It’s as if I have the whole world as long as you’re here.”
Tang Li was stunned.
She completely lost control of herself. Perhaps Karen Mok is right; maybe only by giving up can she get closer to you.
It's been years since I've had that unrestrained, single-minded feeling when chatting with him.
After realizing he had lost his composure, Tang Li quickly tried to make amends:
"What exactly is wrong with Xiling?"
Huo Chenyu sighed softly:
“She had a very pitiful childhood, being abandoned by others until she came to live a few years of stable life with my mother. But my mother’s death was too sudden, and she simply couldn’t accept that her dearest person was saying goodbye to her in a way that she would never see again. At that time, she was already sick.”
