Chapter 132 [VIP] Lifesaver (19)
Xiao Feihe watched her walk further and further away with his eyes wide open. His lips trembled slightly. He felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, with an unbearable chill emanating from his entire body.
Why? Clearly just a moment ago she was still acting coquettishly in his arms, she was still kissing him, and she was still smiling at him with joy, but why?
Why did things suddenly turn out like this?
She had agreed, she had obviously agreed! They had already exchanged birthday cards, they were about to get married, why did things turn out like this?
Xiao Feihe couldn't stand it, he really couldn't accept such a result. His eyes were filled with mist uncontrollably. Her figure became more and more blurred in his sight. He wanted to chase after her and explain something to her, but he seemed to be nailed to the spot. All the words he had used to coax her to apologize were stuck in his throat, making his throat dry and sore.
"Yan Yan..."
He wanted her not to leave, wanted her not to treat him like that, he was sincere, it was a lie at first, but later it was all sincere!
He staggered forward a few steps, but accidentally kicked the small red box that fell on the ground. The little golden toads inside rolled out one by one. Xiao Feihe's nose felt uncontrollably sour, and tears instantly fell down, hitting the back of his hand heavily and disintegrating into one piece. He seemed to be unaware of it.
Xiao Feihe seemed to be awake from his trance. He squatted down hurriedly and picked up the things one by one. His movements were quick and careful, for fear of missing any one. The more he picked, the thicker the mist in his eyes became. These were all the things she liked. He had not given her the key to his warehouse, and his prince's mansion was still missing a mistress. She had clearly agreed to be his wife, so how could she give him up?
Xiao Feihe felt like he was almost out of breath, and his mind was filled with memories of the past...
She said she liked crabapples, and his Prince's Mansion had planted all the crabapples she liked. Soon, they would bloom in March, and they would be very beautiful. She also liked to fly kites, and he had secretly made a big and beautiful silk kite for her and hid it in the study. When the weather was good, they could go fly a kite together. He would still listen to her orders as before, and climb up and down to pick up a kite for her...
He knew he was wrong, he really knew he was wrong!
At this moment, Xiao Feihe's heart was filled with endless regret and hopeless pain that almost overwhelmed him.
The biggest mistake he made in his life was to deceive the feelings of another innocent woman for his own selfish desires. How could he hurt her like this? He was really shameless and selfish. Sometimes even he felt guilty and regretful in his heart, but he really liked her.
He thought about telling her the truth more than once, but he was really afraid. The truth was too hurtful. He didn't even dare to mention it to her, let alone her! He was afraid that she couldn't bear it, that she wouldn't forgive him, that she would be sad. scruples, smiling at him happily, but what could he do? Now she knew, and it was still the same...
He will never be forgiven by her in his life!
Xiao Feihe felt that his chest was hurting so much that he could hardly breathe, and his eyes were even slowly covered with blood. He had no idea what to do.
What should he do?
He had obviously fallen in love with her a long time ago. How could such a good girl not be likable? The time he spent with her was the happiest time of his life.
He really likes her, to the extent that he is willing to do his best to change himself and be with her. How could he bear to give up?
He didn't know when he started to care about her, her every move, her smile, and her every expression. He really couldn't bear to leave her, and even more so, this hard-earned relationship...
Xiao Feihe hurriedly picked up all the things scattered on the ground. He didn't even notice his fingers being cut by gravel. His mind was confused. Those things belonged to Yanyan. They were his betrothal gifts to Yanyan. He prepared a lot of betrothal gifts and beautiful jewelry for her. They were all things she liked...
But when his fingers touched the distorted letter of appointment, they froze instantly.
At that moment, a sharp and intense pain suddenly surged up from his heart, causing Xiao Feihe to almost fall down. His fingertips were trembling slightly in pain.
She also refused to accept the letter of appointment.
What should I do? What should I do?
Xiao Feihe took a few breaths, and carefully picked up the marriage certificate with their names on it, smoothing out the wrinkles one inch at a time with his fingers. But what could he do? The mud and blood stains on it could not be wiped clean. Xiao Feihe's lips were trembled, and he felt that the regret was about to make him collapse.
No, he couldn't just give up like this. He still had a lot to say to her and he hadn't asked for her forgiveness yet. He couldn't just give up like this.
It was his fault in the first place, so it was normal for her to be angry. As long as he tried hard to explain, as long as he explained everything clearly from beginning to end, she would definitely forgive him. She was so soft-hearted and did not hold grudges. She usually did not care too much when she was bullied, so she would definitely forgive him this time.
As Xiao Feihe thought this, his heart seemed to tremble slightly. He wiped away his tears casually, then stuffed the letter of appointment into his arms, closest to his heart, turned around and chased after him.
…
On the other side, Nan Yan had just walked out of the mansion when she saw Jin Lili standing not far away.
He was wearing a plain white cloak, his lips were pale, almost bloodless, and his face was also very pale. When he saw her, he was flustered for a moment, and then he subconsciously walked forward, untied his cloak and wrapped her up.
"Yan Yan..."
In fact, as early as the moment Jin Lili heard that Xiao Feihe brought a matchmaker to the Li Mansion to propose marriage, he had already rushed over in a hurry. He finally found out the truth of the matter. He found out the reason why Xiao Feihe approached her. That person had been deceiving her from the beginning to the end, and he approached her only because of something Li Qingrou had said to him.
Jin Xinli was carrying this secret with him, and he was even a little nervous at that moment. He originally wanted to tell Nan Yan the truth directly. As long as he told Yan Yan and told her Xiao Feihe's purpose, they would definitely not get married.
But when he arrived at Li's house, he realized that he had actually retreated in fear. He was really afraid. He was afraid that she would be hurt again, afraid that she would be heartbroken again. He was so afraid that he didn't even dare to tell the truth.
If she knew such a disgusting truth and purpose, she would definitely collapse in despair.
So Jin Lili didn't dare to say anything. He hesitated and wandered in front of the Li Mansion until later when he finally thought of a solution. As long as he could stop this marriage, it would be enough!
Rather than letting her feel heartbroken and hopeless after knowing that she had been deceived by the person she liked from beginning to end, it would be better for her to hate only him. As long as he prevented this marriage, she would not suffer such hurt again, or at least would not be so painful.
When Jin Lili made this decision, his heart felt as if it was being stabbed by a knife, but he would rather endure the pain himself than let her get hurt again.
People like them may have been in high positions for too long, so they have become particularly despicable and selfish. They only think about their own interests from beginning to end, but trample on the sincerity of others. He really doesn't want to see her cry again.
He had hurt her too many times. That time in the tent, he watched her cry in despair and become the laughing stock of everyone. When she cried and begged him to hug her, he pushed her away and turned around to find Li Qingrou without hesitation.
Later, after realizing who he really liked, he began to regret it. He was so selfish, so selfish that he thought he could win her back as long as he regretted it!
But this belated affection and guilt was like tearing open the wound in her heart that had finally healed, causing her pain once again!
He really knew he was wrong...
He had done so many excessive things to her, and made her cry so many times, and every time she shed tears it was because of him. How dare he? How dare he make her sad again?
Jin Lili carefully wrapped the man tightly with his cloak.
He originally thought so, but seeing how hopeless and emotionally broken she was now, he vaguely guessed that someone must have bullied her.
With her personality, she wouldn't show such an expression unless she was really sad to the point of despair, just like the time when he abandoned her in the camp.
Jin Lili was even a little scared for a moment. He was afraid that she could not bear such a blow and would do something unreasonable. What should he do?
"Are you stupid? Don't you know that the weather is already very cold? You are wearing so few clothes, it is easy to catch a cold and get sick. Have you forgotten that you hate taking Chinese medicine? It tastes very bitter. You taught me a lot in the past, why don't you listen to me now?"
Jin Lili fastened his cloak tightly, and although he was scolding, his voice became softer and gentler.
Nan Yan slowly raised her face, with deep red at the corners of her eyes. She blinked and tears fell uncontrollably. Then she asked him in a hoarse voice, "Jin Lili, do you know... that Xiao Feihe has been lying to me?"
Jin Lili's lips moved, and a feeling of sourness and distress suddenly surged in his heart.
He clenched his fingers, resisting the urge to hug her, and then lowered his voice and said hoarsely,
"I just found out about it a while ago and haven't had time to tell you yet."
Nan Yan suddenly couldn't help laughing, tears silently rolled down her face and accidentally dripped onto the back of his hand. The scalding temperature made his fingers tremble.
"Sure enough, everyone knows it, but I am the only one who is kept in the dark. How ridiculous."
Jin Lili's heart also trembled slightly.
He didn't even know how to comfort her. Just when he was at his wit's end, he suddenly heard her say softly,
"I'm sorry, Jin Lili."
"I never knew how it felt to be deceived. It was so painful and disgusting."
Her face was pale and almost transparent, her hair was disheveled, and she looked as if she would collapse in the next moment. She stared at him blankly.
"You must have felt bad when you knew I lied to you. Maybe you felt even more disgusted than I do now, because I even tricked you into getting engaged to me. You must have felt more disgusted than I do, right?"
As she said this, she suddenly turned her head and looked at him, her eyes suddenly showing an extreme sadness and grievance, and she choked up and said, "Do you think this is retribution?"
"Because I deceived you in the past, God wants to punish me, so he arranged for someone else to deceive me? Let me also taste the feeling of being deceived, but why him? Why in this way?"
Jin Li grabbed her wrist subconsciously, and his eyes were slightly sour.
He wanted to say no, they were different, how could they be the same? People like him deserved it!
It was clearly his own fault from the beginning. He was blind and had mistaken her. He approached her and took care of her based on a jade pendant, leading her to fall in love with him little by little. In the end, he kissed her in the peach forest in the back mountain... He had never asked her clearly from the beginning, and even made excuses for her when she didn't understand, thinking that she pretended not to know him to protect her reputation! It was not until after the engagement that he realized something was wrong, and then he hurt her all over. How could he be the same as her?
Jin Lili held her hand tightly, then put it against his chest, looking at her with guilt and heartache, "It's different, Yanyan, don't say that about yourself. I'm the one who's mean. I'm the one who's blind and can't tell who I like, and who my savior is. I messed up everything and caused the situation like this today. I deserve to die! If it weren't for me, he wouldn't have had the chance to hurt you. I was the one who bullied you in the beginning. I made you break off the engagement and become a laughing stock for everyone. It was my fault from the beginning to the end!"
"You don't need to blame yourself. You never need to blame yourself to me. Even if you did it on purpose, I won't blame you. Besides, I hurt you so deeply. Don't cry, please?"
Nan Yan stared at him blankly, her tears almost blurring her vision.
Seeing this, Jin Lili reached out to wipe her tears again. He moved carefully, and his eyes suddenly showed some pleading and testing. "Yan Yan, forget him, okay? Let's start over. I will take you away from here. Let's find a place without right and wrong and live the ordinary life like before, okay? This time, I will definitely protect you well and will not let anyone bully you again, okay?"
But Nan Yan turned away, her eyes red, and then she stretched out her hand to push his hand away.
"No, I can't forget him..."
Not only that, she stabbed him hard in the heart, leaving him no chance of recovery. He could only stare at her back and regret it forever.
"I'm sorry, we can no longer go back to the way we were. From now on, no matter what happens between Xiao Feihe and I, it will never be possible for us to be together again."
She raised her eyes to look at him, her tone so certain.
When he heard this, Jin Lili's fingers froze, his lips trembled, and his eyeballs in his sockets trembled slightly because of excessive despair.
At this moment, he suddenly felt so desperate.
It was like being trapped in the middle of an endless ocean, with cold, bitter water everywhere, submerging him bit by bit, and making him shiver with cold.
After saying this, Nan Yan's face turned even paler. She stretched out her hand to push away the person blocking her way and wanted to move forward, but her body suddenly went limp uncontrollably. She seemed unable to bear it any longer and completely lost consciousness.
Before Jin Lili even had time to feel sad about the answer just now, his body reacted subconsciously and he directly hugged the unconscious person opposite him into his arms.
"Yan Yan! What's wrong with you?"
He almost subconsciously used his fingers to feel her breath, his face tense and panic-stricken. Only after he was sure that she had fallen into a coma due to excessive stimulation did Jin Lili heave a sigh of relief.
Then he hugged the sleeping person in his arms tighter. The moment he hugged her, his chest felt sore and swollen, as if it was filled with something. He really hadn't hugged her like this for a long time, and she hadn't leaned so obediently in his arms for a long time.
Once upon a time, he could hug her with just a stretch of his hand, but now, he has fallen to the point where he can only touch her when she is unconscious.
When Jin Lili thought of this, a kind of bitter and unspeakable emotion surged uncontrollably in his chest.
He carried the unconscious Nan Yan directly back to the Jin Mansion.
He no longer wanted to keep Yanyan in the Li Mansion. Leaving her there would only subject her to endless gossip and turmoil, as well as questioning and disturbance from everyone. He didn't want her to suffer any more blows, and he would not let Xiao Feihe get close to her until the matter was settled.
…
On the other side, at the Li Mansion, the sudden news of the cancellation of the engagement left everyone in the family a little confused.
No one knows what happened. Why did the eldest lady suddenly regret the marriage she had clearly agreed to?
Not only did she cancel the marriage, she even refused to see Master Xiao again. Most importantly, the eldest daughter moved into the Jin Mansion. All this news was announced by the servants of the Jin Mansion. What was going on?
Why did it turn out like this out of nowhere?
When Mrs. Li heard the news, she was so angry that she wanted to catch that naughty girl and give her a good beating.
After ruining her own reputation like this, does she still want to keep her shattered reputation?
She personally took the maids and old women to the Jin Mansion to pick someone up, but was stopped by the servants of the Jin Mansion. They said that Miss Li was seriously ill and the doctor said that she should not be exposed to the wind or walk at this moment. It would be better to let Miss Li recover first before returning to the Li Mansion.
Mrs. Li didn't believe it at first. She thought it was an excuse made by Ying Jin to deliberately detain her daughter. But when she really saw her daughter with red face and unconscious tears in the room, her heart softened immediately. Now she believed that her daughter must have been bullied, otherwise she wouldn't be so sick and so determined to cancel the engagement!
What exactly happened?
Mrs. Li hurried back to the Li Mansion with her coat in hand and called her daughter's personal maid to ask her,
I want to ask what happened in the courtyard that day. What did Prince Xiao do to upset Miss? Why did no one know that Miss was so sick? And you are Miss's personal maid. Tell me everything that happened in the Queen's Garden that day!
The maidservant was so terrified that she didn't dare to raise her head. She was terrified in her heart. Later, she said with a tearful face that she saw the Second Young Miss and Master Xiao hugging each other in the back garden that day.
The two seemed to be very close and said a lot of intimate words. In the end, the scene was witnessed by the eldest daughter, and they had a few words. She didn't know what happened after that.
Upon hearing the news, Madam Li's heart sank immediately. She slammed the table with such force that all the servants present in the mansion were startled. Finally, Madam Li's face darkened and she asked someone to invite the second young lady over.
When Li Qingrou entered the hall and saw her father and mother sitting in the main seats, with no other servants around them except for some personal maids, she knew that these two people were going to hold a three-judge trial to seek justice for Li Nanyan.
Li Qingrou only felt a burst of irony in her heart. She stood straight in front of the hall without any fear or regret in her heart. She just wanted Li Nanyan to suffer as much as she did.
As soon as Li Qingrou stood still, Mrs. Li threw the teacup in her hand at her without hesitation.
It didn't hit anyone, but it hit her feet, and the tea inside splashed out and wet her shoes.
Li Qingrou's eyelashes trembled, but her expression remained unchanged.
Mrs. Li stared at her with red eyes, "Tell me, what did you do in the back garden that day?"
Unlike Madam Li, who was furious, Li Qingrou was neither angry nor annoyed. She raised her eyes and looked straight at her father and mother who were sitting in the main seats, then replied calmly,
"Qingrou just wanted to help her sister test out Xiao Shizi's character that day."
She looked at the two of them calmly, as if she had already thought of what to say, "I have heard rumors that Prince Xiao is a playboy who is idle, dishonest, and spends his days drinking and partying, so I just wanted to verify it for my sister."
When she said this, her face showed no guilt at all. "I just said a few provocative words that day, and that Prince Xiao rushed over and hugged me tightly. If my sister hadn't seen it, I'm afraid I don't know what would have happened."
When Li Qingrou said this, her brows slightly furrowed, and there seemed to be a hint of disgust and fear on her face. It took her a while to calm down and continue,
"Now it seems that Prince Xiao dared to bully and tease my cousin in front of so many servants in the Li Mansion. It is obvious that he is definitely not a good match."
At the end, Li Qingrou looked into Madam Li's eyes again and said without any guilt or remorse,
"I risked my life to help my sister see the true character of this man, why is mother so angry? Does mother also want my sister to marry such an indecent playboy?"
"Bah, shut up!"
Mrs. Li's face turned red, then blue, and she was so angry that she was shaking all over. "You are just a sharp-tongued person, talking nonsense!"
That fair, wealthy face was almost distorted.
"If it is really as you said, then Prince Xiao is a lustful and dissolute young man. He has seen all kinds of women since he was a child. How could he be so shameless as to be frivolous with you in the Li Mansion?"
"Who do you think he is? Who do you think we are? If you can't even understand your despicable tricks, then all these years of my life as a family are in vain."
"You idiot!" Madam Li became angrier and angrier. At that moment, the anger that had been pent up in Madam Li's chest for so many years suddenly erupted like a volcano. "You have been like this since you were a child. You have been like this since you were a child!"
"You were taught badly by your biological mother. You don't respect your stepmother, you don't get close to your step-sister, you scheme and scheme all the time, you act like a petty person. Do you think those people don't know? Those ladies and elders know it very well. No matter how servile you are, they will never hire someone like you who drags down their own sisters as the head mistress!"
Mrs. Li's anger was rising. "You think everyone owes you something. You have been competing with Yanyan since you were little. You want to be like her in everything. You want to have what she has, and if you don't have something, you will do everything you can to destroy her."
"Since she was little, how many times have you bullied her, openly or secretly? You always want to be better than her, have a better reputation, and be more talented than her. Today, I don't want to bother with these petty quarrels anymore."
"But now that she has finally found a marriage she likes, why are you interfering?"
"You are clearly seeking revenge. You are seeking revenge on her for deceiving you about the jade pendant. You are jealous that she is living a better life than you. But have you forgotten that she was also rejected and punished? When she was so sad, did you ever visit her once? Even after all this, why are you still unwilling to let her go?"
Every word Mrs. Li spoke was tearful and heartbreaking. By the end, she couldn't hold back her tears.
Lord Li, who was standing beside him, looked at his wife's heartbroken expression and couldn't help but took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to her, but his wife slapped it away.
Lord Li touched his aching hand, turned to look at his second daughter in the hall, and sighed again, feeling helpless.
Mrs. Li's words almost completely tore off the last fig leaf between the two of them.
Li Qingrou's eyes couldn't help but turn red. She clenched her fingers tightly, raised her eyes and stared at the two of them resentfully. The emotions that had been suppressed for a long time finally burst out.
"Yes, mother is right. Now that things have come to this, I don't need to hide it anymore."
"I am just taking revenge. I resent you. Why am I not as favored as Li Nanyan since I was a child, even though we are both my father's daughter? Everyone loves her more than me. My grandmother is like this, my father is like this, and you are even more like this!"
"I just can't accept it. I just resent her. Why can she be liked by everyone so easily without doing anything or working hard? Why am I better than her in everything and do everything better than her, but my father always loves her more than me?"
Li Qingrou stared at the two with red eyes, the resentment in her eyes almost condensed into substance, "Is it because of my status as a concubine's daughter? Is it because my mother is a maid? So no matter how hard I try, I will never be able to compare with Li Nanyan, the legitimate daughter? Why? Is the difference between legitimate and concubine's daughters really that big? But I am also my father's daughter, I just can't accept it, I just want to resent her, I want to make her suffer as much as I do."
After he finished speaking, there was a sudden silence in the air.
Even Lord Li was speechless. He opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
He really never knew that his daughter had such a deep hatred towards him, the mistress, and her elder sister?
What had they done wrong? They had provided her with good food and drink, but had they created an enemy for her?
Madam Li leaned back on the chair weakly, and became unusually calm and sober. She looked at the concubine and sneered, "If that's the case, then the person you should hate the most is your own mother."
Li Qingrou subconsciously widened her eyes and tears stagnated in her eyes, as if she was stunned by these words. What does this have to do with her mother? Why should she resent her mother?
Madam Li sneered coldly, "You resent my daughter for taking away the love that originally belonged to you, but who should I resent?"
Madam Li looked at the concubine in the hall with a calm and indifferent look, "Back then, your biological mother took advantage of my pregnancy to climb into my bed. Do you know who I should blame?"
Madam Li sneered and sneered, "Your mother was originally my maid, and she had always served me wholeheartedly. I never treated her harshly, and even because of her dedication, I found her a family of honest and loyal commoners to rely on, and I only waited for her to sell her body to expire before letting her go back to get married. But after I told her about this, she turned around and climbed into the master's bed. Who do you think I should blame for this?"
"I know my husband can't control his lower body, but why does your mother do this to me?"
When Lord Li heard this, he felt ashamed and covered his face with his sleeves. How could he talk about such trivial things in front of his children? It was really embarrassing.
Madam Li's voice became even colder. "Your mother stole my husband away, and her daughter will take away my daughter's love when she is born. As the mistress, I must not only not be angry, but also treat that child equally."
"Who do you think I should resent?"
Li Qingrou opened her mouth and her lips trembled slightly. She seemed not to have expected such a complicated process. Her mother had never told her about these things.
Her mother only said that in this world, if you want to get something, you must work hard for it. If you don’t work hard for it, you will never get it.
Her mother said that she had been used to a hard life since she was a child. Her ancestors had once been wealthy and came from a scholarly family. But by the time of her father's generation, the family had already become extremely poor, so poor that they could not even have three meals a day. Her father made a living by copying books for others, and she had to follow him to make money since she was a child. Her little hands could not even hold a pen, and life was really too hard.
But it is different in the Li Mansion. She can wear fine clothes and eat delicious food, and she has servants to serve her, so she must seize such a good day.
Her mother also said that there was only a difference of one word between a legitimate daughter and a illegitimate daughter. Although her mother was a maid, she was talented and beautiful, so she became her father's concubine. Now her food, clothing and other expenses are no worse than those of the mistress of the house. As long as she is better than Li Nanyan and does her best in everything, there is actually no difference between her, a illegitimate daughter and a legitimate daughter.
But Mrs. Li's words were like a blow to her head, making her feel inexplicably guilty. If this was the case, then wouldn't it be that she had snatched Li Nanyan's things and taken away her love from the beginning?
No, that's not right. It can't be calculated like this. How can the grudges of the previous life continue to the next life? Moreover, this is a grudge between her and Li Nanyan, how can it be linked to other things?
It was Li Nanyan who was unfair to her in the beginning. If she had not concealed the truth and deceived Jin Lili, there would have been no misunderstanding between her and Jin Lili, and she would not have ended up in this situation.
How can this be all her fault?
Li Qingrou thought so, but tears still fell uncontrollably. She didn't know why she was crying. It was as if there was a sense of emptiness in her heart.
After that, Li Qingrou was put under house arrest. Except for a few close maids and servants, no one else knew what happened in the mansion that day.
After all, the daughters of this family had their engagements broken off one after another, and when news came out that the concubine's sister had hooked up with her elder sister's fiancé and her engagement was broken off, I'm afraid that the remaining daughters of the Li family will have no good reputation in this life.
Outsiders would even spread the word that the Li family had a bad tradition, that there was unrest in the backyard, and that the upper beam was crooked and the lower beams were crooked, and that they would be despised sooner or later.
…
On the other hand, after leaving Li's house, Nan Yan's body could no longer support her. She lost consciousness and was taken to Jin Lili's house. But perhaps due to excessive stimulation during the day, she developed a high fever that night and became seriously ill.
Jin Lili looked at the man's red lips, slightly wrinkled brows, breathing softly, and muttering something, "Liar..."
"Why did you lie to me..."
Her eyes were tightly closed. Even though she fell into a coma, her thick black eyelashes still trembled from time to time, and her crow feathers were stained with a layer of moisture.
The voice became weaker and weaker, calling Xiao Feihe's name again and again, with grievance and nostalgia, intermittently. Sometimes she said she was cold, then hot, and sometimes she cried very sadly, the kind of tears that flowed silently.
Jin Lili looked at her with heartache. This was the situation he was most worried about. Seeing her in so much pain and suffering, he really didn't know what to do.
What should I do?
How can I make her feel less uncomfortable?
Faintly he heard her murmuring again, as if she was calling someone's name.
"Xiao Feihe, don't leave me... hug me..."
She begged and sobbed, her weak breathing barely audible.
Jin Lili took a deep breath. For a moment he felt that his life was hopeless. He could only hold her hand carefully and coax her in a hoarse voice.
"Well... I'm right here. I won't leave you. I'll never leave you."
Hearing this response, the person in his sleep burst into tears again, and his voice became more choked, "Xiao Feihe..."
He grabbed her hand and said in a hoarse voice, "Yes, it's me. I'm here."
She said weakly, "Why... did you lie to me?"
Jin Lili paused for a moment, then put her palm on her lips and coaxed her gently, "I'm sorry, I was wrong, I will never dare to lie to you again, so you have to get well soon and teach me a lesson, okay?"
As Jin Xinli was talking, tears unconsciously slid down his face. He whispered in a low voice, as if to coax her, with unprecedented patience and tenderness, "I'll let him come to apologize for your crime, okay? Catch him and beat him up to vent your anger, okay? How about giving him thirty lashes?"
"Is it too light? How about adding twenty more?"
"Yanyan, why do you become so stupid now?"
He kissed the back of her hand, kissing her closely and gently, "In the past, whenever you were bullied, you would come to me to support you, and whenever you were teased by a cat, you would always fight back..."
"You used to be such a proud and unrestrained young lady, how come you can only cry now? You are so useless. What's the point of crying when you are bullied? You can obviously come to me. I have been free recently. Besides, I have done so many things to support you that I am familiar with it. Why are you backing down..."
After hearing his gentle and slow coaxing, the person sleeping on the bed finally seemed to calm down a little. He stopped crying and murmuring, and even his breathing became steadier.
And during these two days, Jin Xinli had been taking care of her without taking off his clothes.
In fact, Jin Lili's illness had not been cured during this period, but he did not have a cold, so he would not get sick for long.
But he was worried about letting the maids take care of Yanyan, as he thought they were not gentle enough, so he did everything himself, carefully wiping the sweat from her forehead.
…
As for the movement outside, it has never stopped.
Xiao Feihe has been squatting at the gate of Jin's mansion for the past two days and has not left since Jin Lili took Yanyan away.
At this moment, Xiao Feihe also looked very frightened. He was very anxious. He heard that Yanyan was seriously ill, but Jin Lili had refused to let him see her.
During the days he wandered around the gate of Jin Mansion, Xiao Feihe was so anxious that he just broke in. However, the guards of Jin Mansion were strict. He broke in four times in two days, but was stopped and thrown out every time.
Later, when he was about to break in again, he was stopped by Jin Lili, who coldly warned him that Yanyan was still resting, and he was making such a big fuss on purpose to prevent her from resting well and to make her condition worse.
After he said this, Xiao Feihe immediately didn't dare to break in anymore. He just stood outside the door obediently, for fear of disturbing Yanyan's rest.
But it's been two days now…
Xiao Feihe really couldn't stand it anymore. If he wasn't allowed to see Yanyan again, he would really go crazy.
He had no idea how she was doing now. The less he saw her, the more worried he was. He wondered if she had taken her medicine honestly. She was afraid of bitterness, so she had to think hard every time she took medicine. He also didn't know if she was still running a fever. If she was, she had to cool down quickly, and she couldn't use too cold water to cool down...
Most importantly, he didn't know if she was crying quietly?
Thinking of this, Xiao Feihe's heart trembled slightly. She must have cried. She cried so heartbroken and desperate when she left that day. He really hurt her this time.
On the morning of the third day, the gate of the Jin Mansion finally opened. Xiao Feihe saw Jin Lili walking out of the door. He subconsciously stepped forward and asked nervously and anxiously,
"Where's Yanyan? How is she? Has she woken up? Is she willing to see me?"
Jin Li glanced at him expresslessly, and replied for the first time, "He's still asleep, but he keeps repeating your name."
Hearing this, Xiao Feihe's heart seemed to ache, and tears appeared in his eyes unconsciously. He begged his former rival, "Can you let me see her?"
Jin Lili sneered coldly, with a look of extreme disgust in his eyes, "What qualifications do you have to see her? Who do you think caused her to be like this now? What, cheating her is not enough, so you want to hurt her again?"
Xiao Feihe hurriedly explained, his eyes red, "No, no, Master Jin, I beg you, please! I know I did a lot of things wrong, but I really never wanted to hurt her. Just let me see Yanyan. As long as you let me see her once, you can teach me any lesson you want."
After hearing this, Jin Lili's eyes became even colder, he clenched his fingers tightly, and murderous intent emerged in his eyes. It's not like he hasn't killed people before, and he wanted to just kill the man in front of him and be done with it, but in the end he calmed down all his emotions.
He knew that the person Yanyan liked now was him.
Even in her coma she kept calling out this man's name. If he really hurt him, she would be even more heartbroken.
Jin Lili exhaled heavily and said,
"She hasn't woken up yet. The doctor said that the patient might be too shocked and refused to wake up. She kept repeating your name. Go and see if you can wake her up."
All he did was in vain because he was no longer the person she had in mind.
Jin Lili finished speaking with an expressionless face.
Then he turned and left. Looking at this man for even a second longer would make him unable to hold back the jealousy in his heart.
