"Xia, I won't let the person who hurt you get away with it."
"Don't hurt him, he didn't mean it." Xia Xueqing was startled and, fearing for her beloved's safety, quickly spoke up to stop him.
"He and she are not the same in Mandarin D," Vincent asked疑惑地问道, "Him? Wasn't it a girl who hurt you?"
Xia Xueqing explained somewhat flusteredly, "My D language isn't very good, and I made a mistake in my haste."
She paused, seemingly driven by a strange maternal instinct, and said with utmost sincerity, "Please don't hurt Xiaoyue. She just accidentally stepped on me. As long as she apologizes to me, I will forgive her."
Vincent held her shoulders and gazed at her with deep affection: "Xia, you are so kind. You are the purest angel I have ever met."
Vincent had a pair of peculiar grey-blue eyes, clear yet dreamy, capable of reflecting the image of the person in front of them, drawing people in irresistibly. Under such a gaze, it was hard not to feel cherished and valued, and then one's heart would race.
Xia Xueqing lowered her head shyly, and when she looked up with a coy expression, she unconsciously exuded a seductive charm.
Vincent's smile deepened.
001: Have you forgotten that the person you love is Huo Ting?
Xia Xueqing had been in the hospital for three days, and neither of the two culprits had come to find her. At first, she was a little angry, so she refrained from calling Huo Ting. But after not seeing him for three days, she started to panic.
Vincent laid out the Chinese breakfast prepared by his family's chef on the bedside table. He awkwardly picked up a steamed bun that she had been talking about yesterday with his chopsticks and held it to her mouth, but she didn't react to the food at all. Instead, she kept staring at her phone.
The phone screen lit up and then dimmed, dimmed and then lit up again, repeating this process.
His eyes darkened slightly, but a smile remained on his face as he asked her, "What's wrong, Xia? Are you waiting for someone's call?"
Xia Xueqing shook her head absentmindedly, then nodded: "Has anyone come looking for me these past two days?"
Vincent put down the xiaolongbao he was about to drop, his grey-blue eyes fixed on her. Perhaps it was the bad weather that made his gaze appear dim and melancholic: "Are you asking about the people who hurt you?"
“Vincent, you can’t say that. They didn’t do it on purpose.”
“Alright,” Vincent sighed, “but, Xia, isn’t it enough that I’m here? Haven’t I been good to you? Why did we need them to come?”
“Vincent, you are very good, but in my heart there will always only be Ting.”
Vincent put down his chopsticks, his voice filled with deep emotion and sorrow: "How I wish time could stand still at this moment, just you and me, just us, with no one else to disturb us, but I can't be so selfish. Maybe they don't know you're in the hospital, I'll go find them for you, but I need to watch you finish your breakfast first."
"Vincent, you're so kind." Xia Xueqing finally smiled.
Her hand was injured, so she ate breakfast with Vincent's help, completely unaware that two figures had appeared outside the door at some point, and naturally, she didn't notice when they left.
After Xia Xueqing and Vincent finished their sweet breakfast, Vincent packed up his things and left. A middle-aged man in a business suit immediately approached, took the food box from his hand, and whispered, "38 minutes ago, a man and a woman came and stood at the door for 3 minutes and 29 seconds."
Vincent glanced inside through the small window in the door, a smirk playing on his lips, before walking toward the elevator: "Where are they now?"
The man in the suit raised his hand, glanced at his watch, and replied, "We should still be on our way to the airport."
"Oh? Going back to China?"
The man in the suit pressed the elevator button for him. This was a private hospital, and there weren't many people around. Since it was a VIP ward area, there were only the two of them in front of the elevator, so they didn't try to hide anything or act suspiciously.
He said in a normal voice, "Yes, according to the flight information we found, it's at 10 a.m., and the destination is Shanghai, China. The Huo family is in a bad situation right now. That person's condition has worsened, and they're in the ICU every few days, so they want to call Huo Ting back to take charge."
"Taking charge of the overall situation?" Vincent raised an eyebrow with amusement. "I admit he's a business genius, but he's also a complete idiot. He turned against the Huo family for a woman. Ha."
If you want revenge, then suppress your anger for now, seize power, and then take your revenge. If you don't want revenge, then there's even less need to turn against her; she's just a woman.
The elevator arrived, and someone came out. They didn't say anything more, went down to the underground parking garage, drove away, and 001's pursuit was cut off. But they were also surprised that Vincent seemed to be smarter than the protagonist.
Di Xiu didn't do anything after learning that Huo Ting was coming back, and 001 got a little anxious: "With the male lead's halo and such a powerful background, what if he turns the tables? The Huo family is also involved in organized crime. What if he launches a terrorist attack to threaten the government? And once they have a chance to escape the country, it will be even more difficult for Country C to catch them."
Di Xiu tapped his forehead, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes: "You don't need to be too afraid of them. Have some faith in me, and have some faith in this country, okay?"
Especially now that Huo Ting has shown obvious weaknesses, the impact of these weaknesses on him is absolutely enormous.
001 held his head in sorrow for a moment, then said, "I believe you. If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know."
"You have already helped me a lot."
If it weren't for 001's help, he wouldn't have been able to live a normal life in this completely different world system for a while.
...
While his adopted daughter was abroad, spending her time with a man, competing with another woman for his affections, and learning to be independent for love, Di Xiu was promoted and became the vice governor.
Something happened that somewhat affected his promotion; otherwise, he could have become the executive vice governor.
