The 120th person was feeling lost, and a timely phone call came through.
No man dislikes being complimented by a woman, not even Cai Feng. Especially when it's a charming and alluring woman praising his strength. He reached out and put his arm around Ah Xin's slender waist, kissing her neck with a slightly lewd smile.
"Really? I really am the strongest man in your heart?"
As he spoke, he ran his large hands over her body. Ah Xin suppressed her disgust and gave him a charming smile, her face full of indescribable allure. She reached into Cai Feng's vest and gently drew small circles on his chest.
"Of course! How could Ah Xin lie to the master?"
Ah Xin breathed softly, her breath sweet as orchids, and gently whispered in his ear with a smile as beautiful as a painting.
"Ah Xin will never forget the scene of Mr. taking Ah Xin flying together; it was a happiness and joy that Ah Xin had never experienced before."
Cai Feng's face flushed like that of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, flattered by A Xin's words. Looking down at A Xin's alluring face, he felt a desire rising within him, a desire that rippled like the small circles A Xin's fingers traced on his chest. His heart felt like it was being teased by a baby's hand, tickling and filled with an indescribable longing.
"In that case, let me take you flying one more time!"
He grabbed Ah Xin and threw her onto the tiger skin on the ground. The unpleasantness he felt from being humiliated by Fu Honghai vanished instantly. Ah Xin giggled, her fair legs hooked around Cai Feng's waist, while her hands covered her eyes.
"Sir...no! I'm still an innocent young girl, please don't treat me like this!"
Her feigned reluctance only intensified Cai Feng's desire. He ripped open Ah Xin's cheongsam and lowered his head to suckle at her snow-white skin, causing Ah Xin to giggle uncontrollably.
All men are the same; they all succumb to the temptation of women. I only used a few tricks to make this so-called underground emperor of South Africa my devoted subject. Just thinking about it makes me feel proud.
"Oh dear, sir, please be gentle! I'm a delicate flower, I can't take it!"
"Hahaha... Ah Xin, you really are a flirt, but I just love your sassy and flirtatious side!"
The sounds of two people rolling around and laughing could be heard from the hall. Ah Xin hugged Cai Feng's neck, but a strong hatred flashed in her eyes. She would never let Gu Mingxia go. Even if it meant dying together with her, she would make sure she died!
"Fifth boy, are you saying that third boy has a crush on that girl from the Gu family?"
"Oh, poor Third Brother!" Fu Ya sighed, rubbing his forehead, feigning heartbreak. "Back then, Third Brother and Gu Mingxia were a perfect match, a match made in heaven. Everyone thought it would be a beautiful union between the Gu and Fu families. But then the Gu family faced a crisis, and Third Brother flew back from Switzerland. Gu Mingxia was suddenly someone else's fiancé. Poor Third Brother, he had to go to New York to heal from a minor injury. A few months ago, Gu Mingxia got divorced, and Third Brother rushed back to Xiangcheng, only to find… Gu Mingxia was now Xiao Yan's girlfriend! Third Uncle, isn't Third Brother incredibly unlucky? He's always just a tiny step away from winning the heart of his beloved!"
"Is that man lying unconscious on the bed Gu Jia's boyfriend?"
Fu Honghai's thick, dark eyebrows furrowed, making him look intimidating. Fu Ya looked at him in confusion and nodded. Fu Honghai slapped his hand on the chair, and his voice immediately rose eight octaves.
"I'll just shoot him dead right now, and that Gu family girl will have no choice but to stay with the third boy!"
After saying that, Fu Honghai got up and headed towards Gu Mingxia's ward. Fu Ya felt a headache coming on and kept slapping his mouth. Why did he have to be the first to say all this? If his third uncle really killed Xiao Yan, wouldn't Gu Mingxia hate his third brother to death? Wouldn't his third brother dislike him for the rest of his life?
"Third Uncle, Third Uncle, don't be impulsive! Let's calm down, impulsiveness is the devil!"
She pulled Fu Honghai to sit down in a chair, while she stood in front of him, blocking his way. Fu Honghai tried to get up, but Fu Ya stopped him.
"Third Uncle... Third Uncle! We're all so old, how can we not act impulsively? If you go and kill Xiao Yan, I guarantee Third Brother will hate us to death, and we'll be treated badly by him from now on!"
"I took care of his love rival for him, and the third brat still hates me? Is he really that heartless?"
Fu Honghai roared angrily, drawing the attention of passing nurses. Fu Ya could only nod in apology. Sigh, this old man is so old, yet he still has such a temper. Really!
"Third Uncle... just don't interfere in Third Brother's affairs! Third Brother has always been independent and hates it when others meddle in his business. Let him handle it himself! Besides, even if you kill Xiao Yan, what then? Gu Mingxia doesn't love Third Brother. Is that something that can be solved by killing Xiao Yan?"
"That's true! Ugh, all that love and romance, it's so annoying for men and women! I'm so much more comfortable here, I'm rich and never short of women, unlike you guys who insist on finding some kind of true love? What is that stuff? Can it feed you or give you money?"
Although Fu Honghai's words were rough, Fu Ya still agreed with him in her heart. Third Brother was really something. Why didn't he just find a woman who was a good match for him to marry? Why did he have to go after true love? If you're going to go after someone, why did you have to go after a woman who didn't like him at all? He was clearly a man who was looking for trouble!
While Fu Heng was undergoing surgery, Gu Mingxia remained seated by Xiao Yan's bedside, tightly holding his scarred hand, a faint sadness on her face. She pressed Xiao Yan's hand against her own face and said with a touch of helplessness.
"Little Swallow, Fu Heng took a bullet for me, and he's in the operating room now having surgery to remove it. I... I'm really worried!"
She didn't know how to repay this debt of gratitude, and she estimated it wouldn't be something she could do in a short time! For her, Fu Heng was always a source of guilt and helplessness that lingered in her heart.
"I...I let him down back then, and now I owe him a debt of gratitude. I...I really don't know what to do! Little Yan'er, please wake up! Please wake up and tell me what to do! I...I'm used to having you by my side, used to you facing everything with me. Without you...I'm really, really lonely and helpless! No one can replace you in my heart. Only you...only you can give me a sense of security. Only by your side can I freely be Queen Gu and do what I want to do. So please, please wake up soon!"
With her head buried beside Xiao Yan's, Gu Mingxia's tears fell silently onto the bedding. She thought she would be strong, but she didn't know that her strength was built on Xiao Yan's companionship.
Faced with his unconscious state, she felt truly lost and filled with indescribable worry. She was genuinely afraid that Xiao Yan would never wake up again, and she simply couldn't bear the thought of him remaining in a coma for an extended period.
"Little Swallow, if you're tired, then sleep for two more days. Wake up in two days, okay? If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes!"
While Xiao Yan was in a coma, Liu Yan was almost trapped in endless self-blame and emotional distress back home. On this day, Zheng Liu helped her to the dining table and placed a bowl of rice in front of her.
"Xiaoyan, dinner's ready! I made mushrooms and bok choy and braised beef today. Try it and see if you like it!"
Zheng Liu placed a piece of beef in Liu Yan's rice bowl. Liu Yan, holding her chopsticks, looked at Zheng Liu with a pale face and a confused expression. After a long while, she suddenly put down her chopsticks, her face full of anxiety.
"I don't want to... I want Xiaxia! I want Xiaxia to eat with me! She hasn't come to see me in so long, I miss Xiaxia, I miss Xiaxia!"
Putting down her chopsticks, Liu Yan looked at Zheng Liu pitifully. He didn't know how to explain to her, so he could only smile sheepishly and hand the chopsticks back to her.
"Little Yan, Xiaxia is very busy with work. I called her and she said to make sure you eat well and she'll definitely come to see you in a few days!"
"Really? Xiaxia really said she'd come to see me in a few days?"
A blush appeared on Liu Yan's pale face. Zheng Liu nodded helplessly. Seeing him nod, Liu Yan immediately picked up her chopsticks and began to eat attentively.
"Okay, then I'll eat well, and Xiaxia will come to see me!"
But after only a few bites, Liu Yan pushed her rice bowl forward, threw her chopsticks on the table, and buried her face in her arms, bursting into loud sobs.
"You're lying to me! Xiaxia could never have come to see me. I remember her... she was blown up in an abandoned villa in South Africa! I... I'm so sorry, it's all my fault!"
The room echoed with Liu Yan's painful sobs. Zheng Liu stood beside her, looking at her helplessly. Lately, she had been acting strangely, sometimes as if she had completely forgotten everything that had happened to Gu Mingxia in South Africa, and other times she would suddenly burst into tears while talking about their past memories. She was completely overwhelmed by the fact that Gu Mingxia had been killed in the bombing in South Africa.
Zheng Liuzhen didn't know how long Liu Yan's condition could last. Seeing her like this was truly heartbreaking for him! It was even more painful than seeing his brothers die before his eyes on the battlefield!
"Xiao Yan, it's okay, Xia Xia will be alright!"
Each time, Zheng Liu could only offer such feeble words of comfort to Liu Yan. He knew that only in this way could Liu Yan calm down temporarily. But this time, Liu Yan was still crying. Just as Zheng Liu was feeling helpless, his phone suddenly rang.
"Song Jia, how's the situation over there? What? Really? Is everything really alright? Okay, thank you so much, your call came just in time!"
