Chapter 185 Night Raid: The attackers are actually women! They're not simple.
"Wh...what?"
Zheng Liu was clearly frightened, staring blankly at Liu Yan, while Song Jia, who was in the same room, was also stunned.
What is this? A marriage proposal? Wow, this is so exciting! It's always men proposing to women, this is the first time Song Jia has ever seen a woman proposing to a man!
Liu Yan stared at Zheng Liu, who was in a daze, bit her lip, and then spoke firmly.
"Zheng Liu, are you willing to marry me once, a marriage that we can never divorce?"
As she spoke, Liu Yan stared intently at Zheng Liu, who, having just been rejected, felt a little dizzy. Was this happiness coming too suddenly?
He glanced at Liu Yan, then at Song Jia who looked equally different, and suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself hard.
It hurts, it really hurts!
Zheng Liu's eyes were filled with tears. It was true. Liu Yan was really asking him if he was willing to marry her!
"I...I'm willing to marry you. Even if we can't get a divorce, I'd still be willing to marry you today and divorce you tomorrow!"
"Pah, boss, no one's here yet! You're already thinking about divorce before the wedding's even started! But your wife is really awesome. As a woman, she's proposing to you! We men can't be so low-class. Go on, propose to your wife!"
Reminded by Song Jia, Zheng Liu stepped forward, took Liu Yan's hand, knelt on one knee, and looked at her with deep affection and seriousness.
"Liu Yan, I, Zheng Liu, swear to God, my heart is truly for you! I will only ever love one woman in my life, and I will never be attracted to any other woman! After we get married, you can manage my bank account. Buy whatever you want! I will never question you. Liu Yan, I love you, truly! Although I don't have a huge diamond ring like Mr. Xiao's proposal, nor a beautiful island, my feelings for you are absolutely genuine. Will you marry me? When we get back, I will definitely buy you a big diamond ring and a beautiful island!"
"Yes, I don't want a diamond ring or a beautiful island. I just want you to love only me and be with only me forever. That's enough!"
Liu Yan pulled Zheng Liu to her feet. She looked intently at the man with sharp features and piercing eyes. Although he wasn't her type, lacked a gentle and refined demeanor, and didn't have a silver tongue, he gave her a strong sense of security. This sense of security completely calmed Liu Yan's uneasy heart. As long as Zheng Liu was by her side, she felt that there was nothing she couldn't solve.
Perhaps, marrying a man who can give you a sense of security and spending your life with him might not be such a bad thing!
"When we get back to the city, I'll definitely give you a huge diamond ring!"
Zheng Liu picked up Liu Yan and spun her around the room. Liu Yan giggled happily. Song Jia looked at the loving couple in front of him with envy in his eyes. Alas, it was a pity that his goddess already had another man. He could only silently be her protector!
"Alright, you can have the room. I'm going to keep watch this night!"
Song Jia's departure did not disturb the two people immersed in happiness. Zheng Liu and Liu Yan sat on the sofa holding each other's hands, gazing at each other with a dazed look.
"Liu Yan, thank you for giving me the opportunity to take care of you for the rest of my life! Don't worry, I will definitely make you the happiest woman in the world."
"Yes, I believe you. Spending this time together has made me realize that as long as you are by my side, there is no problem that cannot be solved. I feel safe and happy with you."
These were Liu Yan's true feelings. She knew she couldn't love Zheng Liu the way she loved Zhang Yunqi, but that didn't stop her from having feelings for him and liking him.
Perhaps if given some time, she will fall in love with such a kind and reassuring man.
"Yes, we will definitely be very happy in the future!"
“Zheng Liu, you know about my past with Zhang Yunqi…”
Before Liu Yan could speak, Zheng Liu covered her mouth, shook his head at her with complete trust on his face.
"Everyone has their own past. I didn't participate in the past and I don't want to know about it. I only care about our future. Liu Yan, if you can't forget the past, then keep it in your heart and live each day to the fullest, okay?"
"good!"
The two embraced, neither speaking as they gazed out the window at the scenery. Summer Island was just as beautiful at night, with the azure sea reflecting the lush green trees, and shadows flickering among them.
Figures... The sanitation workers on Xia Island had already gone off duty, and the remaining staff were hotel employees. Why would figures appear in the middle of the night? Moreover, it was clear that the figures were acting rather suspiciously.
"Liu Yan, go to Mingxia's room now and stay there. Don't come out unless I call you. Do you trust me?"
"Yes, I believe you!"
Liu Yan let go of Zheng Liu's hand, gently kissed him on the cheek, and then Zheng Liu escorted her to Gu Mingxia's room.
Although Xiao Yan was a little surprised that Liu Yan had come to their room in the middle of the night, seeing Zheng Liu's serious expression, he immediately understood that the island seemed to be no longer safe.
"You go inside and stay with Xiaxia, I'll go call Misha!"
Misha had come to Xia Island for Gu Mingxia's safety, so Xiao Yan felt it was his duty to ensure her safety. After Liu Yan went inside, Zheng Liu immediately notified Song Jia, Liu Qi, and Miao Dan. The four of them patrolled the corridor until Xiao Yan brought Misha over. Then they exchanged a few words and disappeared down the corridor.
Xiao Yan was guarding the four women in the room, but to his surprise, Liu Yan and Misha were both unusually calm and showed no signs of panic. He had to admire these two for that.
Are you two scared?
I believe in Zheng Liu!
"When I was working as a Doctors Without Borders in a tribe in Africa, I encountered war, and the situation was much more dangerous than it is now. Only when you go to a place like that can you truly appreciate how fortunate you are to have the life you have now!"
Liu Yan and Misha's words silenced Xiao Yan once again. Only after experiencing worse things can one truly appreciate how precious the present life is.
Actually, he wasn't afraid of encountering danger himself; he was just worried about getting hurt. Every accident he encountered pointed to Gu Mingxia, which made Xiao Yan very uneasy!
He would rather be the one who gets hurt and framed than have his Xiaxia in any danger!
"Misha, give Xiaxia an injection of sedative. I don't want her to see what happened tonight."
Gu Mingxia was on the verge of a mental breakdown. If what happened tonight was still her mother's doing, how heartbroken she would be if she woke up and found out?
Xiao Yan couldn't take that risk, but Misha didn't make a move, only giving him a cold look.
“Sedatives can cause some harm to the body, so I won’t give them to Miss Gu.”
“Misha, Xiaxia has serious psychological problems right now, and I'm really worried that seeing this will trigger her again. You should know that I won't hurt her!”
"I won't hurt her either. But if you insist, I have nothing more to say."
Misha's indifferent words made Xiao Yan ponder in silence for a moment, and then he looked at Misha seriously.
"Give it to her, one tube is enough!"
Misha took out sedatives and a disposable syringe from the first-aid kit and quickly gave Gu Mingxia the injection. She glanced at Xiao Yan and then lowered her head to pack up her first-aid kit.
"The old saying 'a mental illness requires a mental cure' still holds true. If Miss Gu really has serious psychological problems, facing them is more effective than running away! And from what I understand, Miss Gu would rather face them than be injected with sedatives and fall into a deep sleep like this."
"But this time the situation is different."
Xiao Yan didn't offer any further explanation, but just smiled bitterly, walked to Gu Mingxia's bedside, and kissed her on the cheek.
"Xiaxia, don't worry, I won't let anyone hurt you!" Xiao Yan murmured softly, then straightened up and looked at Liu Yan and Misha. "I'm entrusting Xiaxia to you two."
He couldn't just sit in his room and wait idly; he had to go out and be with Zheng Liu and the others. No one knew Xia Island and all its workers better than him. For Xia Xia's absolute safety, he had to go out and eliminate all dangers.
No sooner had he stepped out of the room than a flying kick came straight at him. Xiao Yan nimbly dodged it with a sidestep and then used a quick grappling technique to get past the person in the darkness.
Xiao Yan didn't hit anyone and didn't linger. Instead, he ran towards the exit. Gu Mingxia's room was absolutely safe, so he wasn't worried about that at all. That's why he led everyone who appeared towards the exit.
After all, the less potential risk there is, the safer Xia Xia will be. Xiao Yan ran downstairs from the exit, and as soon as he reached the hotel lobby, he heard two gunshots. Immediately, the entire island fell into complete silence.
The two men who came down with Xiao Yan were visibly startled after hearing the gunshot, but they quickly attacked Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan and the two men became entangled in a fierce struggle, and neither of them gained the upper hand.
"You'd better stop right now! Otherwise, we can't guarantee that you two won't end up like your companions, shot and falling into the sea!"
Zheng Liu and Song Jia each held a gun, watching the two men who were constantly attacking Xiao Yan. However, Xiao Yan was not to be underestimated. Although he did not gain a great advantage in a two-on-one situation, he did not suffer any losses either.
"Walk!"
One of the two men, taking advantage of Xiao Yan's dazed state, rolled to the entrance of the hall and disappeared into the night just as Zheng Liu and Song Jia were about to start their fight.
"I never expected that the person who attacked us at night was a woman! She's really something!"
