When Su Yulu woke up, it was already getting dark.
When she saw the figure standing on the balcony smoking, she panicked and tried to pull out the IV needle from her hand, then got out of bed and left.
Unfortunately, she hadn't fully recovered her strength. Just as she lifted the blanket and was about to get out of bed, her legs gave way and she fell to the ground in a disheveled state. Even the kettle on the bedside table was accidentally knocked to the ground, making a loud noise.
The needle was removed and blood kept flowing out.
Hearing the commotion inside, Xian Mingyu turned around and saw Su Yulu lying on the ground. He immediately extinguished his cigarette and hurried inside to check on her.
"Luo'er." He carefully helped her up.
Su Yulu burst into tears again, constantly covering her face with her long hair, afraid that Xian Mingyu would see her. "Don't look at me...don't look at me..."
Hsien Ming-yu stopped pressuring her, carried her back to bed, and rang the bell to let the nurse come in and re-insert the needle.
The nurse re-inserted the needle and left, leaving only Xian Mingyu and Su Yuluo in the room.
She is very emotionally unstable right now and keeps covering her face and sobbing.
Xuan Mingyu pulled over a chair and sat down beside her bed, gently removing her hands from her face. "Luo'er, look at me. Don't you recognize me?"
"No...no...don't look at me...I look so ugly right now...don't look at me..."
"In my heart, you will always be the most beautiful. Luo'er, we've finally met, why do you still want to avoid me? What have you been through all these years? And who caused these wounds on your body?"
"Don't ask anymore... Waaah... Yu... Please don't ask anymore... I shouldn't have appeared in front of you in the first place... I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble again..."
She cried bitterly, and Xian Mingyu sighed, got up and sat down next to her, reaching out to pull her into his arms, gently stroking her back with his large hand.
He had thought that after leaving him, she would live a good and happy life with that man. He should have been very angry and heartbroken that she had betrayed him and married someone else. However, seeing her so miserable now, he no longer felt any anger or resentment, only endless heartache for her suffering so much.
"From now on, I will protect you and never let you get hurt again..."
"Yu... Waaah... Yu..."
She cried and called his name. She missed him so much. After all the twists and turns, she realized that he was still the best. She would not miss such a good man again. He belonged to her, Su Yuluo, and no one could take him away.

Xuan Mingyu fed Su Yulu some porridge, then glanced at his watch. It was almost seven o'clock. He hadn't realized he'd been with Su Yulu for so long. He suddenly remembered that he'd promised to accompany Bai Xiaoruo to see her grandfather that afternoon. He stood up abruptly and removed Su Yulu's hand from his waist. Su Yulu looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"Yu, what's wrong?"
"Luo'er, I have something to attend to, so I'll head back now. I'll find a caregiver to come and keep you company, and I'll come see you again tomorrow."
He had just turned to leave when Su Yulu hugged him from behind again. "No! Don't go! Yu, don't go. I won't let you leave me again. I just want you to stay with me. I'm so scared to be here all alone."
"Luo'er..."
For a moment, Xuan Mingyu's heart softened, and he decided to stay and keep her company. But Bai Xiaoruo's every smile and frown kept replaying in his mind—her gentle and obedient nature, her tearful grievances...
His heart could no longer find peace.
He didn't have his phone with him, so Bai Xiaoruo couldn't contact him at all. He hadn't gone back for so long; maybe that little girl was worried and cried again, or perhaps she just waited for him foolishly for ages...
With a determined look, Xian Mingyu removed Su Yuluo's hand and helped her lie back down on the bed. "Luo'er, listen to me, I really have to go back. I'll come see you first thing tomorrow morning, I promise."
"Alright then... then come early tomorrow, I'll be waiting for you."
Su Yuluo wasn't just being unreasonable; she had finally managed to grab onto Xian Mingyu as her lifeline again, so how could she possibly make him angry again?
"Um."
Watching Xian Mingyu leave, Su Yuluo's smile faded, and her brows furrowed tightly. Six years had passed, and why did she always feel that he had become much colder towards her?
Did he really stop loving her? Or... has another woman appeared in his life?
If another woman really appears in his life, then I can't just sit here and wait to die.
Su Yulu secretly began to make plans in her heart. For now, she could still rely on Xuan Mingyu's sympathy. The feelings from six years ago made him feel sorry for her, but in the long run, relying on such a little sympathy would not accomplish anything significant.
***
The car came to a smooth stop at the side gate of the Bai family's residence, and two bodyguards carried the bound Bai Xiaoruo into the hall.
Then, without any mercy, he threw her to the ground.
Bai Xiaoruo couldn't help but groan. Her hands and feet were tied and she couldn't move, and a towel was stuffed in her mouth.
She didn't know what Bai Xiaofu wanted to do.
If the goal is to send her back to the Bai family, why not just send someone to take her back? Why go through all this trouble, like kidnapping her? Are you afraid she'll run away?
Bai Minglei and Song Meiyan sat on the sofa and gave a wink to the bodyguards beside them. Only then did they remove the towel from Bai Xiaoruo's mouth, but the ropes binding her body were still not untied.
