A subtle atmosphere suddenly filled the room.
Chu Liyue's eyes were deep and unfathomable, while Chu Mingcheng and Bai Jingxuan's gazes seemed to drift towards Xiao Wujie in Chu Liyue's arms.
With his legs slightly apart and his posture upright, Chu Mingcheng pursed his lips slightly and spoke in a low voice:
"Liyue, I suspect their target is Wujie, not you."
Many things, though seemingly hidden, reveal clues upon closer examination.
If you want to investigate the Chu family, you could do it anytime, but why did you have to do it during the two years that Xiao Wujie was in a coma?
In the past two years, the Chu family has not made any significant moves that would warrant an investigation by the Xiao family.
In the past two years, the only news they have been strictly guarding against and blocking from the outside world has been about Xiao Wujie's coma.
The Xiao family only conducted an investigation and took no further action.
Now that Xiao Wujie has just woken up, the elusive head of the Xiao family has arrived in the capital.
These specific time points and various perplexing actions cannot be explained by a simple coincidence.
Xiao Qianshan and Xiao Wujie both share the surname Xiao.
The Xiao family lost a child twenty years ago, and Xiao Wujie is exactly twenty years old this year.
Chu Liyue and Chu Mingcheng had both investigated Xiao Wujie's identity, but to no avail. It was truly unacceptable that the Chu family, with its considerable power, couldn't find even the slightest information about a child.
But if the Xiao family is involved, then it makes sense.
After all, the loss of direct bloodline is a closely guarded secret for any large family, because if it were to be made public, the next day, a line of people from all over the world would stretch from their doorstep to the other side of the ocean to claim their relatives.
Chu Liyue held the sleeping Xiao Wujie in her arms, her eyes suddenly deep and cold, and the fingers that caressed his face applied a little more pressure.
Xiao Wujie's long eyelashes trembled slightly, his breathing became shallow, and he let out a soft, dreamlike hum.
Chu Liyue was startled and immediately hugged him tighter, gently patting his back.
"It's okay, go back to sleep."
Seeing that Xiao Wujie had fallen asleep peacefully again in Chu Liyue's arms, Chu Mingcheng spoke again in a low voice:
"Of course, many things are just speculation at the moment."
"Even the news that the Xiao family lost a child cannot be completely confirmed as true or false."
Chu Liyue lowered her eyes and remained silent, but in her heart she was already seven or eight tenths certain that the news was true.
The Xiao family is far away in Lingnan. If they had intended to hide this news, it would have been impossible for Chu Mingcheng to find out in such a short time.
This message was likely deliberately leaked to Chu Mingcheng by someone, seemingly intended to guide their speculation and uncover the truth behind the events.
With a hint of worry in her eyes, Bai Jingxuan asked softly, "Li Yue, what do you plan to do?"
"Do you agree to meet with the head of the Xiao family?"
Although everything is still just speculation at the moment, once we have speculation, we should prepare in advance.
Bathed in soft light, Chu Liyue's exquisite face was breathtakingly beautiful, her gaze unfathomable. After a moment, she spoke in a cool, clear voice:
"I'll think about it some more."
There was still too little useful information, and she dared not take the risk as it involved Xiao Wujie.
She had already lost him once, and the numbness and despair she felt during those days without him still made her heart ache so much she could hardly breathe.
She couldn't allow him to have any more accidents.
With fingers filled with boundless affection and tenderness, she gently touched Xiao Wujie's face, whispering a reminder:
"Don't tell Ah Jie about this for now."
Bai Jingxuan nodded quickly: "Take good care of the baby. We can talk about these things when he's feeling better. Your dad and I will continue to investigate for you, and we'll let you know as soon as we have any news."
She could also see that although Xiao Wujie had woken up, he exuded a sense of vulnerability and bewilderment after suffering immense harm.
In his current state, it is clearly not advisable to let these perplexing matters disturb his mind any longer.
Even the usually cold-blooded Chu Mingcheng spoke up, saying, "Just take good care of him, there's no need to worry too much."
"No matter how powerful the Xiao family is, they can't control everything in the capital. In any matter, the family will unconditionally stand by your side."
His words were unusually warm, yet they also revealed the domineering aura unique to the top figures in the capital, the head of the Chu family.
His tough exterior and tender heart are fully revealed.
Chu Liyue's eyes flickered slightly, and she nodded gently. After the two quietly left the room, she was left alone, gazing intently at Xiao Wujie's perfect face, her thoughts unfathomable.
In the following days, Chu Liyue postponed all work and external matters as much as possible, staying at home almost every moment with Xiao Wujie.
He wasn't feeling well, so she held him and stayed with him until he slept.
When he couldn't eat, she would peel and cut his favorite fruits into small, delicate pieces and feed them to him.
He was emotionally fragile, and she pampered and spoiled him without any limits, holding him in the palm of her hand, wishing she could give him her whole heart, leaving him no room for vulnerability.
In the middle of the night, Xiao Wujie clung to her and made love to her. Their lovemaking lasted until midnight. When she woke up the next day, she was incredibly delicate and even had her dress her.
She nurtured his wounded and fragile heart little by little with her unreserved love, and he seemed to be gradually returning to his former self.
In the past few days, Chu Liyue has also been investigating information related to the Xiao family and considering whether to meet with the head of the Xiao family.
She made her decision on the fifth day.
A light drizzle began to fall from the sky, and the air was filled with the chill of early spring.
Chu Liyue didn't bother to change out of her Chanel-style jacket, which was damp from being outside. She walked quickly and steadily in her high heels and hurried upstairs.
She went out to pick up something, and just as she finished, Yunmo called her to say that Xiao Wujie was not feeling well.
When she pushed open the door, Yunmo was anxiously leaning over the bed. When he saw her return, he hurriedly made way for her.
