Chapter 8, apart from you by my side, I have nowhere to go

I ... ...

Xiao Wu and I rushed to the hospital where Wen Jinliang was located. After getting out of the car, we hurriedly ran up to the ward on the fifth floor. At the door stood He, whom I had not seen for a long time, along with several familiar bodyguards, a few of whom were among the ten.

When Wen Jinliang heard me say this, his eyes instantly lit up, resembling a sky full of stars, dazzling and radiant. He gently embraced me, whispering, "This time, even if you want to escape from my side, I will not give you that opportunity."

As I was captivated, gazing intently at Wen Jinliang, his tightly closed lips slightly parted, uttering an incredibly beautiful confession.

Xiao Qi, regarding the matter of Wen Jinliang... Xiao Wu still has more to say

"Are you done washing?" Noticing me, Xiao Wu put down the book in his hand, patted the spot beside him, and said to me, "Come over and sit down."

I should have understood long ago... I choked back my tears and finally revealed my true feelings in front of Xiao Wu, "I like Wen Jinliang so much that even if it means betraying my master and abandoning my master... I still do not want to leave his side"

The bodyguard was so excited upon seeing Wen Jinliang and me that he was almost moved to tears

I exclaimed in surprise to Xiao Wu: "So you knew all along that Wen Jinliang was fine, and you actually deceived me together with him! This is too much!"

"Young master, what should we do?" asked Bodyguard A

Just now, I saw that Xiaowu's elder sister was also extremely angry. If she fights with the eldest, she will definitely not hold back! I am really worried about the eldest!" Bodyguard C expressed his concern.

After Xiao Wu finished a lengthy speech, she casually picked up the coffee on the table and drank it all in one go. She frowned and complained, "It's so bitter, this must be brewed by Xing Guang. This guy just loves to drink these things that are so bitter they fall apart." As she spoke, she looked up at me, "Don't just stare at me in a daze; I've said so much, don't you want to say something?"

I stared blankly at Xiao Wu, and suddenly, as if I had gone mad, I pushed her away and desperately ran outside. Xiao Wu shouted from behind me: "Xiao Qi, why are you running! Do you know which hospital Wen Jinliang is in? Come back!"

"We have kissed and embraced now. If you say again that we are not in a romantic relationship, then I will have no choice but to kiss you once more," Wen Jinliang said, taking my hand and speaking to me in an incredibly gentle voice

I released Xiao Wu, my body trembled uncontrollably, and the tears that had finally stopped surged out once again

"With such a good bodyguard like you, how could I bear to send you away? You will always be by my side in the future, and we will have many, many children together." Wen Jinliang said with a smile, holding me tightly.

The starlight across appeared calm, but I believe he must already know about my secret departure last night

"Get out of my way. What does it matter to you whether Xiao Qi is by his side?" Xiao Wu impatiently pushed aside the crane blocking my path and shoved me into the hospital room. "Ignore this guy. Hurry up and see Wen Jinliang, I'll keep watch at the door to prevent them from disturbing you while you see him." With that, she slammed the door of the hospital room shut.

I am sorry, Xiao Qi, I truly do not wish to deceive you in this manner. However, apart from this, I cannot think of a better way to convince you. I do not want to see you hurt again; if the one you admire were someone else, it would be one thing, but it just happens to be him... The starlight is clearly right in front of me, yet his voice seems to be separated from me by a galaxy, as if he could disappear from my sight at any moment

This week, I did nothing but think, think... In the end, although I understood many things, I still could not make up my mind

"Wen Jinliang... fool." I reached out and took the initiative to embrace Wen Jinliang, resting my head against his heart, quietly listening to the sound of his heartbeat. My heart finally settled down. "I’m sorry, I will never leave your side without permission again. I am your exclusive bodyguard; as long as you don’t send me away, I will always be by your side."

Xiao Wu took out her phone and after saying "Hello" twice, she began to chat with the person on the other end of the line. Xiao Wu's phone was a specially modified hacker device, so I couldn't hear what was being said on the other end. After talking for a while, Xiao Wu's relaxed expression suddenly turned serious. She replied, "I will take her back right away," and then hung up the phone.

I gave up on the words I had originally planned to say, filled with doubt, and intended to ask about the starlight, but he suddenly vanished before me without any warning—he left so quickly that I didn't even have time to call out to him

Wen Jinliang did not immediately explain anything; he simply held me in his arms, embracing me tightly, as if that alone could calm me down. However, his warm embrace truly helped to gradually soothe my excited heart.

However, I also understand my master very well. If I were to truly be with Wen Jinliang, she would definitely take some actions to prevent us. At present, I am simply not a match for my master and the others.

As for Xiao Wu, that can be overlooked; however, the temperament of He is not something that an ordinary person can easily endure

"Xiao Qi, I have already lost Xiao Liu, and I cannot lose you as well. Therefore, I should stop you from falling in love with Wen Jinliang, as this love will lead you both to a dead end. However..." Xiao Wu paused, her expression complex and serious, "I cannot stop either of you, because your love is so beautiful and steadfast. Wen Jinliang is truly a wonderful person. He is worth everything you have to love. So do not deny your feelings for Wen Jinliang because of that woman, nor deceive yourself into thinking you do not like him out of fear."

As soon as He saw me, he immediately blocked my way, his expression carrying a hint of anger, and asked: "Why weren't you by Jin Liang's side when the incident occurred? What exactly is going on with you?"

I slowly approached Wen Jinliang's hospital bed. He lay on the bed, eyes closed in slumber, and on his delicate brows and eyes lingered a trace of the gentle smile from the past. I crouched down beside his bed, resting my head on his chest. The faint sound of his heartbeat gradually reached my ears, so weak that it seemed as if it would stop beating in the next moment

The shadow of starlight flickered for a moment, he did not turn to look at me, yet spoke to me in a very gentle tone: "Xiao Qi, have you forgotten? Your master despises love so much. If she were to find out that you have learned to love, she would destroy you. How could I possibly watch my friend walk down a path of no return without trying to save her?"

I let out a sound of "oh," picked up the clothes she had thrown into the bathroom, placed them in a dry spot, and then comfortably took a hot shower

So that's how it is... No wonder it didn't work; it seems it wasn't just my illusion

Upon hearing Xingguang's apology, my heart completely softened, and I could no longer blame him. In fact, I am well aware that Xingguang's actions were solely for my benefit, even though his methods were unacceptable to me

Upon hearing the name "Wen Jinliang," my previously paralyzed thoughts suddenly came to life. I abruptly straightened up, feeling as if my body was so stiff it did not belong to me, and my stomach was clamoring insistently; I finally felt the pangs of hunger.

He coldly glanced at Wen Jinliang without saying a word. Although he seemed to be less angry than before, he had not completely calmed down.

Love is indeed an incurable affliction

"But the master, she won't let me fall in love..." I bit my lip hard, my heart filled with an indescribable worry, "I'm not worried about myself. Xiao Wu, I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid that Wen Jinliang will incur the master's wrath. If he gets hurt or dies because of this..." Xiao Wu's words were so beautiful, but I also had my own concerns and helplessness.

Boss, this is the fifth floor

Regarding the starlight, I had no reaction at all. He silently looked at me for a while, and finally noticed that something was off with me, but he did not ask the reason. He simply said lightly: "Xiao Qi, the food will not taste good when it gets cold"

Xiao Wu suddenly laughed and asked me, "Xiao Qi, among so many sisters, I like you and Xiao Liu the most. Do you know why?"

The silent bodyguard F replied: "We learned about your injury, Young Master, and rushed over immediately. When Big Brother He was about to enter to see you, Xiao Qi and Big Sister Xiao Wu arrived. Big Brother He grabbed Xiao Qi to ask questions, but before Xiao Qi could respond, she was pushed into the ward by Big Sister Xiao Wu. Big Brother He was worried about you and wanted to go in to see you, but Big Sister Xiao Wu refused to let him in. Big Brother He was already angry because Xiao Qi's negligence led to your injury, and with Big Sister Xiao Wu blocking him, his tone became quite unfriendly. Big Brother He was worried about you and wanted to go in to see you, but Big Sister Xiao Wu refused to let him in. Big Brother He was already angry because Xiao Qi's negligence led to your injury, and with Big Sister Xiao Wu blocking him, his tone became quite unfriendly. Big Sister Xiao Wu has a bad temper and immediately started arguing with Big Brother He, and their words were not pleasant. Big Brother He was already upset, and after being provoked by Big Sister Xiao Wu, the two quickly got into a fight.

Xiao Wu sensed my fear, and she held me tightly in her arms, her voice firm as she said: "Xiao Qi, do not be afraid! I will absolutely not allow Xiao Liu's tragedy to repeat itself on you!" As she spoke, she let out a cold smile, "Over the years, I have also made many preparations. There are some things you do not need to worry too much about; as long as I am here, you and Wen Jinliang will be safe!"

Then what about the medicine you promised me? I asked somewhat unwilling to give up

Xiao Wu held my shoulder, looking at me without blinking, and said: "Xiao Qi, I am actually very grateful to Wen Jinliang. In just a few months, he has transformed you into a girl who can laugh, make a fuss, get angry, and feel jealous, just like any ordinary girl in the world. At this moment, you are no longer a replica, but a complete person. Have you forgotten? I once asked you who was more important, that woman or Wen Jinliang, and you could not answer. In that brief moment of understanding love, you have already betrayed that woman. Since you have betrayed her, why should you fear? Why overthink? Why can’t you follow the desires of your own heart?"

I know that even if Xiao Wu and I join forces, we stand no chance against the master and the others. However, Xiao Wu's words have reassured me quite a bit. Although I am unsure whether she said this to comfort me or if she truly has the determination and resources to resist the master.

If only I hadn't escaped back then, then I could have heard you say that you liked me. But now, it is impossible for you to say that you like me anymore... I reached out my hand to touch Wen Jinliang's still warm face, filled with deep regret

Ah? I was momentarily taken aback, simply staring blankly at Xiao Wu

I did not speak. This time, even if Wen Jinliang is willing to let me escape, I cannot possibly flee, for having betrayed my master, I have nowhere else to go. Besides being by Wen Jinliang's side, I do not know where else I could go

I rubbed my hair and obediently walked over to sit beside her. She took the towel from my hand and began to dry my damp long hair, her expression suddenly softening: "Do you remember, I used to help you dry your hair like this often? Back then, you and Xiao Liu loved to cling to me to help you dry your hair, like little imps."

I stared blankly at Wen Jinliang in front of me, his trembling voice and the rare tension and fear in his eyes suddenly softened my heart

What is going on here?" I stood up, trembling slightly, and pointed at Wen Jinliang in front of me.

Xiao Wu did not speak and turned to go to the kitchen, and soon she brought me a pile of food. She placed the food on the dining table in front of me and said, "Although we won't die from not eating or drinking, the lack of food to satisfy hunger will soon cause your bodily functions to enter a state of dormancy. You cannot fall into a long slumber now; Wen Jinliang is still waiting for you to return to his side."

"Xiao Wu, I beg you not to ask anything right now, okay? Let me think things through by myself!" I quickly interrupted Xiao Wu's questioning, looking at her with a pleading expression.

Upon hearing Wen Jinliang's words, my face instantly flushed, and I immediately pushed him away: "Who wants to have many children with you, how shameless!"

Becoming boyfriend and girlfriend with Wen Jinliang, doesn't that mean having to do a lot of embarrassing things? This is absolutely not allowed

He said he doesn't want to see me get hurt, but this is my first time learning to love, and the master has never hurt me, so how could it be "once again"? Moreover, "it just happens to be him," is this "him" referring to Wen Jinliang? Is there anything wrong with Wen Jinliang?

"But Xiao Wu, I cannot have love. The master despises love the most. Once I have love, it would be equivalent to betraying the master. At that time, things will become very terrible," I said, trembling all over. In fact, this is what makes me feel the most fearful and uneasy inside.

I returned to my room in the castle, then curled up in a corner of the room, desperately trying to calm myself down and not think about Wen Jinliang. However, the more I forced myself to be calm and told myself not to think about it, the more the images of my time with Wen Jinliang surged forth in my mind, and his gentle face lingered before my eyes.

Wen Jinliang, I like you. I really like you, very much. I trembled as I reached out to wipe away the tears on my face, revealing a smile as I looked at Wen Jinliang on the bed, wanting to appear a bit more joyful during my confession

As I listened to Xiao Wu's words, I gradually stopped crying, feeling an overwhelming shock and emotion at what she said. I had never known that she viewed me and Xiao Liu in such a way. In her heart, there should be nothing more important than me and Xiao Liu!

When I came out after washing up, I saw Xiao Wu sitting on the bed, engrossed in reading a book that I had not finished before.

When Wen Jinliang saw that I was losing control and trying to leave, he immediately grabbed my arm and pulled me into his embrace. He soothingly pressed my head down, allowing me to bury it in his warm chest

It must be said that not cleaning for a week is indeed quite detrimental

Wen Jinliang also stepped forward and grasped Crane's arm, advising: "Crane, please calm down. Xiao Wu is still a girl; what if you accidentally hurt her?"

Xiao Wu immediately exclaimed in anger: "Who would want to be friends with this person!"

That is merely an ordinary potion for strengthening the body and enhancing health

I told you that your master is perfectly fine; he is just pretending to be ill. You ask me why he is pretending to be ill, but why should I tell you? Who do you think you are? It's so annoying. If you try to break in again, I won't be polite!

I stared blankly at Xiao Wu, my mind suddenly exploding. Had I already made my choice from the very beginning? ... Perhaps I should have known long ago ...

"Elder Crane, please calm down. This is not a place for fighting; escalating the situation will cause trouble for the young master..."

When Xiao Wu left, I just slumped down in my seat

The corridor outside the ward has become a complete mess, with the nurses and doctors who were originally patrolling outside having fled. The floor is strewn with medical instruments. The bodyguards are divided into two groups, one pulling Xiao Wu and the other pulling He, while they continuously try to persuade them.

After Xiao Wu saw that I was emotionally stable, she let go of me and continued, "Since you have made up your mind now, then we..." Before she could finish her sentence, her phone in her pocket rang.

Her! Both Wen Jinliang and I noticed that the crane's abdomen was bleeding, so we anxiously called out its name

I sat back down in my chair, looking directly at the familiar face of Xiao Wu: "Xiao Wu, I apologize for this morning's incident; I should not have lost my temper at you so casually."

The crane half-squatted on the sandy ground, one hand covering its abdomen, lips pressed together in silence. Xiao Wu squatted beside him, applying something to his abdomen, his expression not looking too good, continuously muttering something.

Only after I picked up the chopsticks did I clear the food in front of me. After eating and drinking to my fill, I finally felt alive again, and my stiff body and sluggish thoughts were completely restored

After the two of them finished speaking, they simultaneously let go of my and Wen Jinliang's hands and directly jumped down from the adjacent window one after the other

The bodyguards shouted as they surrounded the window, exchanging glances with one another before finally directing their attention towards Wen Jinliang and me

I know that I cannot evade this now, but for the time being, I truly find it difficult to face Wen Jinliang calmly. Whether it is my feelings for him or his feelings for me.

He also replied: "What kind of girl is she? A Barbie or a King Kong?"

"Xiao Wu, please calm down. We are all friends, and fighting like this will only hurt our feelings." I immediately stepped forward to hold Xiao Wu back and advised her, hoping my words would help her regain her composure

However, since Xiao Liu is no longer behind, I have not helped you dry your hair again, and you no longer act spoiled towards me. Xiao Wu's action of drying hair carried a slight tremor, as if desperately suppressing the surging emotions within.

Xiao Wu grabbed my arm and pulled me up from the bed: "Let's go! We are going back!"

I am sorry... I am sorry..." I looked at Wen Jinliang in front of me with tears streaming down my face, the pain in my heart expanding in circles, ultimately leading me to cry out to him in despair, "If I hadn't run away, but had stayed by your side all along, you wouldn't have gotten into trouble. It's all my fault... I am sorry, I am sorry!

"Wen Jinliang, will you never wake up again?" I tightly grasped the blanket on Wen Jinliang's chest, trembling uncontrollably as I said, "I finally... finally made up my mind to face you... I clearly know that I like you... I clearly know how intense my feelings for you are... But now, you no longer know how much I like you..."

Wen Jinliang is such a calm and composed person, yet at this moment, the Wen Jinliang before me has completely discarded his calmness and composure. He reveals his truest self, expressing all his passion and affection for me so naturally.

We hurried to the crane's side and found Xiao Wu applying medicine to him with a bottle of powder, muttering: "I say, is there something wrong with your head? Injured like this and still daring to fight me, do you want me to win unfairly? Let me tell you, I, Xiao Wu, despise winning without honor the most"

After listening to F's explanation, I felt cold sweat continuously pouring out from the top of my head. It seemed that the intense conflict between the two of them was entirely due to me and Wen Jinliang. As the main culprit, I felt my legs weaken a bit

I was taken aback for a moment, but soon I realized that the only possibility for the starlight to leave me without warning was the imminent appearance of Xiao Wu. This is because the starlight has been avoiding Xiao Wu very effectively

"If you really want to be angry, then direct your anger at Wen Jinliang, after all, he is the real culprit. I am merely carrying out a task." Xiao Wu said without raising his head, showing no sign of guilt whatsoever

After finishing my conversation with Wen Jinliang, I went downstairs to look for the two of them in the hospital. Soon, we found Xiao Wu and He in the square behind the hospital. To our surprise, they were not engaged in combat.

"Xiao Qi, although you may not realize it yourself, being by Wen Jinliang's side makes you look so happy. Compared to being by my side, being with that woman, being next to Wen Jinliang is where you truly belong. Only by being with him can you truly become an ordinary woman." After seeing the wavering on my face, Xiao Wu continued to enlighten me. "Only by being with him can you truly become an ordinary woman." After seeing the wavering on my face, Xiao Wu continued to enlighten me.

I replied weakly, "Hmm..." The arrival of Xiao Wu began to clear my somewhat dazed mind.

"Wait a minute! I never said I wanted to be your girlfriend." I was so nervous that my tongue felt like it was about to tie itself in knots, and I immediately took several steps back.

Xiao Qi ... ... '' Xiao Wu put away his phone and looked at me, his expression very grim as he said, `` Wen Jinliang is in trouble ... ... ''

"Or do you hope that I will marry and have children with other girls?" Wen Jinliang raised an eyebrow lightly

"Silly girl, why are you crying?" Xiao Wu sighed and gently wiped the tears from my face with his fingertips. "On the day Xiao Liu died, you cried like this, continuously. Xiao San and Xiao Si didn’t say anything; they were also crying. But what good is crying? So I don’t cry. I just looked at that woman, staring at her intently. In that moment, I finally understood that to her, we are nothing, not even as significant as a small cat or dog. So I don’t cry. I just looked at that woman, staring at her intently. In that moment, I finally understood that to her, we are nothing, not even as significant as a small cat or dog."

After Xiao Wu and He heard each other's responses, the anger on their faces could no longer be suppressed: "Do you have the guts to go downstairs and settle this one-on-one?"

If I were by Wen Jinliang's side, how could he possibly be in the hospital now! He is injured entirely because of me, because I was negligent in my duties

Hearing Xiao Wu say this, my feelings of guilt eased somewhat. Now that I have calmed down, I find it hard to believe that I lost my temper with Xiao Wu this morning

The sudden accusation from the crane caused a sharp pain in my heart, and a sense of suffocation spread from the depths of my heart

At this moment, I no longer wish to conceal anything, nor do I want to evade it any longer. I am deeply in love with Wen Jinliang, to the point of desperation. This feeling is more profound than my affection for the little black bear, and it is even harder to let go.

"What do you know! Xiaowu's strength is completely on par with the boss, and when she gets angry, it's no joke!" Bodyguard E retorted

After finishing dinner, as I was tidying up the dishes in the starlight and preparing to leave, I called out to him: "Xingguang, actually I am not sick at all. What you said before was all a lie, wasn't it?"

Little Sister Wu, this is a hospital! Even if you want to fight, you cannot do it here; you will be invited by the police to have tea, and let me tell you, that tea is quite terrible...

Xiao Wu loosened my collar, her fingers pressing hard against my chest: "Xiao Qi, ask your own heart. At the moment I said I wanted to kill Wen Jinliang, did you stop me because you were afraid you couldn't fulfill the master's orders, or because you were afraid of his death?"

Looking at the starlight, I was about to tell him that I did not blame him, as long as he would not deceive me again. However, just as I opened my mouth, I recalled that there seemed to be something strange about his earlier words

I understand. Xiao Wu stood up decisively upon hearing my words, preparing to leave. She walked a few steps towards the main door and then turned back to glance at me, "Xiao Qi, I can temporarily help you get through this for now. But I cannot assist you in deceiving others for a lifetime; some matters are better for you to contemplate on your own. I will come to find you later." With that, she quickly left the castle

If you like me, you've already said it. Do you think it's still possible to resist and not be my girlfriend?" Wen Jinliang pinned me against the wall, looking down at me, softly speaking, with a smile in his eyes that spread all the way to his lips

I immediately sat behind Xiao Wu and held her tightly, constantly praying in my heart for Wen Jinliang's safety

"Xiao Wu, please don't say anything..." I grasped Xiao Wu's hand as she helped me dry my hair, gazing at her calm expression, and tears suddenly surged forth.

As soon as Xiao Wu saw that I had finished eating, she immediately pulled me up and led me upstairs. She asked me, "Which room did Xingguang arrange for you?"

Crane, I am sorry for making you worry. In fact, I am perfectly fine; I was just pretending to be injured. I will explain the details to you later, but for now, please do not be angry with Xiao Wu anymore; this matter is not her fault. It was I who asked her to stand at the door to prevent anyone from interfering with my reunion with Xiao Qi. " Wen Jinliang looked at Crane with a face full of apology

Seeing Wen Jinliang say this, I also feel embarrassed to continue blaming Xiao Wu. Besides, I was just venting and wasn't really angry. In any case, the fact that I was able to quickly make up my mind to return to Wen Jinliang's side is largely thanks to Xiao Wu

Little Seven, I also like you very much, I really like you

Xiao Wu immediately took me to the door of the room according to my instructions, and then kicked the door open with a bang, pulling me inside. Once in the room, she rummaged through my wardrobe, found two pieces of clothing for me, and pushed me into the bathroom: "Quickly go take a shower, you smell terrible! After you finish washing, I will tell you what needs to be discussed."

I was taken aback by the mention of Xiao Wu, my heart constricting in waves, and my chest felt as if it were suffocating, making it hard to breathe. I immediately grabbed Xiao Wu's shoulders, unable to hide the fear on my face: "No! No! Xiao Wu, you cannot kill Wen Jinliang, he has done nothing wrong!"

I sat face to face with the starlight, quietly having dinner, with neither of us speaking. Although we usually do not talk while eating, the atmosphere today was even more desolate.

I will go with you! You can stop the crane, but you cannot stop Xiao Wu. I said hurriedly

"Xiao Qi, this is the true reason you have been avoiding all along. It is not that you do not love Wen Jinliang; rather, it is precisely because you love him that you are unwilling to let him face any possibility of danger." Xiao Wu let out a long sigh, her tone somewhat relieved. However, seeing that I remained hesitant, she suddenly grabbed my collar and said, "Xiao Qi, if you truly do not wish to confront this feeling and feel unable to make a choice, then fine, I will go kill Wen Jinliang right now. As long as he is dead, all problems will be resolved. You will no longer have to be afraid or troubled, and you and I can return to our previous life."

I am not angry. In fact, there are many things for which I must thank Xiao Wu; without her, we would not have our present situation. I smiled at Wen Jinliang and said softly, "Even if you don't pretend to be hurt, I will soon return to your side. Because I have made up my mind to face you openly, and I will never run away from you again."

I heard Xiao Wu's shout and immediately stopped in my tracks, turning to look at her: "Take me there! Hurry up and take me there!" I almost shouted at her in tears

"You are now my girlfriend, and in the future, you will be my wife. What is there to be shy about when a wife gives birth to children for her husband?" Wen Jinliang looked at me playfully.

"Starlight, long time no see, this time I must have a good match with you!" The door was rudely kicked open, and Xiao Wu walked in with a cheerful smile.

Starlight returned at night, but this time he did not bring medicine for me. He walked into my room and looked at me sitting in the corner with my knees hugged to my chest, and as usual, he spoke: "Xiao Qi, dinner is ready"

Wen Jinliang smiled gently after seeing my reaction: "Xiao Qi is really adorable when shy, making one unable to resist loving her."

This is exactly the intention

Little Wu stared at me in astonishment and incredulously asked, "You haven't moved at all since I left, have you? Did you even eat?"

Little Seven, you have come out

Xiao Wu shot me a glance, his face still wearing that familiar bright smile: "I didn't say all that just to hear you say this, silly Xiao Qi! I know your temperament well enough to understand that you didn't mean it this morning, so I'm not angry. Besides, if I really were angry, do you think Wen Jinliang could stop me?"

Upon hearing the name Xiao Liu, my heart felt as if it had been struck heavily by something, and my eyes immediately turned red. I thought I would never hear Xiao Wu mention this name again in my lifetime, for she is the eternal pain in both Xiao Wu's and my heart

"Xiao Qi, I am truly sorry for deceiving you in this way to bring you back. However, I am really afraid, very afraid that you will never return to my side again." Wen Jinliang released me and said softly, kissing my icy forehead, "Although it is a low-quality lie, at the moment you truly returned, I felt very happy. I even think that if this moment were not a lie, but rather if I had truly died, I would feel that there is nothing left to regret in this life. If Xiao Qi, you are still very angry with me for deceiving you, you can hit me or scold me, but please never leave me again. I truly cannot live without you. I love you, Xiao Qi."

My body trembles slightly, for I know that what Xingguang says is the truth. Therefore, he would rather concoct a ridiculous lie to deceive me away from Wen Jinliang than reveal the truth to me

I sat downstairs for an entire week, during which time Xingguang did not return. It seems he is temporarily unwilling to come back due to being frightened by Xiao Wu. If it weren't for Xiao Wu coming to find me out of impatience, I would probably have continued sitting there.

Just as I was at a loss for how to respond to Wen Jinliang's words that had embarrassed me, the sounds of a quarrel between Xiao Wu and He came from outside the door, and soon their argument escalated into a fierce fight

"The last room on the left." I replied quickly, having roughly guessed what she intended to do

Because you are different from them, the other sisters never think; they only blindly obey that woman's words, and there is no light in their eyes. But you and Xiao Liu are not the same. On the day you were born, I saw a different light in your eyes. At that moment, I understood that you are the same as me, a being with thoughts, with life, truly alive, and not a clumsy copy created by that woman. In that instant, I felt that if I had you by my side, even in such a hell, I would not feel sad. Xiao Wu seemed to be lost in distant memories, her lips curling into a gentle and comforting smile.

Why? I stared blankly at Xiao Wu, shaking my head in confusion. Because I truly did not understand why she loved both Xiao Liu and me so much. She clearly had so many sisters to choose from, yet she only enjoyed spending time with us.

Hearing Xiao Wu say this, both Wen Jinliang and I breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the injury to He Fubu is not caused by Xiao Wu; it should have been sustained during a previous mission.

I felt as if my face was on fire, rendered speechless by Wen Jinliang's actions.

He was attacked by an assassin, and both he and Yu Xiaogui were seriously injured, possibly..." Xiao Wu did not continue, but cautiously looked at me.

"My stomach is growling so loudly! Hurry up and eat." Xiao Wu urged me when he saw that I was not moving.

I only felt as if something had shattered deep within my heart, and I looked at Xiao Wu in disbelief, momentarily unable to react.

"You... you scoundrel." I blushed, turning my head away unwilling to look at him

Wen Jinliang did not respond to my words; he continued to sleep soundly with his eyes closed, as if he would never wake up again

Wen Jinliang quickly let go of me, looking at me with a smile: "Xiao Qi, remember to close your eyes next time you kiss."

Xiao Wu took my hand and ran out of the castle without looking back. She got on the motorcycle that was already parked at the door and said to me, "What are you dawdling for? Get on. With such a long distance, do you plan to run back?"

I looked up at the starlight for a moment, then silently got up and followed him downstairs for dinner

The starlight surely hopes that as I gradually distance myself from Wen Jinliang, one day my affection for him will fade away, and by that time, I will be able to return to the innocent Xiao Qi who knew nothing at the beginning

She sat down beside the dining table in front of me, resting her chin on her hand and chattering away: "Forget it, I will catch him next time anyway. Although I just came here to try my luck, I didn't expect he really hid you here. I said, Xiaoqi, do you ever think when you do things? You just ran off this morning without a word, and Wen Jinliang was so startled by you that he kept asking me if he did something wrong. It's so annoying! Also, if he didn't have the information I want in his hands, I wouldn't have come to find you at this late hour. I guessed you probably left Wen Jinliang for some reason, but you can't keep hiding from him like this, can you? Have you thought things through for the future?"

I was completely stunned, staring blankly as Wen Jinliang sat up on the bed. He gave me the most familiar gentle smile: "Xiao Qi, welcome back. This time you won't escape from my side again, right?"

Wen Jinliang and I exchanged a glance, simultaneously exclaiming "Not good," and hurriedly opened the door to go outside

You deceived me! I have come to understand that Wen Jinliang is actually fine. The pain and anxiety in my heart erupted all at once, and I almost screamed at him hysterically. I have never lost control like this before; the tears that had stopped in my eyes flowed down once again. "Do you know how worried I was about you? How could you deceive me with something like this? Do you know how scared I was when I found out you were in trouble? Wen Jinliang, you big fool! I hate you, I hate you!"

As the bodyguards CDE were about to argue, Wen Jinliang hurriedly intervened, saying: "Everyone, please stop arguing. I have something to ask you. Although Xiao Wu has a bit of a temper, He is not someone who lacks composure. What exactly caused them to escalate to this extent?"

Young master, you have come out

"How is this possible! I have been completely honest with you, how could you let another girl enter your life and take my place?" I anxiously raised my head to look at Wen Jinliang, and immediately felt a warm touch at the corner of my lips. ... I widened my eyes in shock, as Wen Jinliang's deep blue eyes directly met my gaze ...! ... So beautiful! I widened my eyes in shock, as Wen Jinliang's deep blue eyes directly met my gaze ...! ... So beautiful!

Wen Jinliang clearly realized this as well; he glanced at me and said, "I will go explain it to He right now"

"Xiao Wu is not wrong; if you want to be angry, be angry with me. It is all my fault." Wen Jinliang held my hand, once again showing an apologetic expression as he looked at me

I have never seen the boss this angry before!" Bodyguard B said

Xiao Wu is not wrong; there are indeed some matters that I need to contemplate seriously. The future path between Wen Jinliang and me ultimately depends on my own decisions

"Tsk, he escaped again," Xiao Wu said discontentedly, and then strode towards me

I exchanged glances with Xiao Wu, and for a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward. I cleared my throat and said, "You arrived a step too late; the starlight has already departed."

Are you worried about the boss? Come on, the boss is quite powerful! I have never seen him lose! You might as well save that concern for Little Five and Big Sister!

I would like to see how you will be impolite

Little Fifth Sister, this is the fifth floor
