The knocking on the door continued.

He didn't know if it was just an illusion from Ye Xi's imagination.

The knocking sounds on the door seemed to have become much faster than before, and the frequency at which it fell also seemed to have increased by quite a bit.

Other than the fear in Ye Xi's heart, there was also a deep sorrow.

As she endured the deliberate actions of the man, she was worried that the door would be mercilessly flung open and broken in the next moment.

She knew how awkward and unsightly her current situation was. The traditions in her bones would not allow others to see her unsightly appearance.

Ye Xi's eyes were filled with tears, her broken crying voice rolled out from the depths of her throat, her face full of agony and despair.

"If there is no one inside, I will open the door and enter ?"

Lu Jingxing's cold voice became even deeper.

But before he could finish, the door opened from the inside.

Looking at the man who stood at the doorway with his aura spread out, Lu Jingxing squinted his eyes, "Chairman Huo?"

Huo Yaoting leaned on the side of the door, his firm and cold face carried a faint blush, and his pair of eyes were charming yet not disappearing. His absent-mindedly revealed an i

ate noble air, and he looked at Lu Jingxing with disdain, "CEO Lu, you need to wait a little longer if you want to use a room."

Lu Jingxing stared at Huo Yaoting's face with his dark eyes, and it was as though he had unwittingly and unwittingly looked around the room, his gaze sweeping past the room that had been kicked to the ground. His eyes were dull for a moment, and then he moved it away as though nothing had happened, and looked at Huo Yaoting indifferently, "Sorry for the intrusion."

With that, Lu Jingxing turned and left.

Huo Yaoting's eyes turned cold as he looked at Lu Jingxing's back. With a cold smile, he stood up and closed the door, then walked straight towards the washroom.

He pushed open the bathroom door, but unexpectedly, he did not see the little woman who had previously hidden inside.

A layer of frost immediately covered Huo Yaoting's deeply incised face. His eyes suddenly became cold as he quickly searched the entire room, but didn't find the reckless little girl who slipped right under his noses. Instead, he found a white door that led to the ball.

Huo Yaoting stared at the door that was opened, clenching his fists tightly, scarlet flames billowed out of his eyes.

Just as he moved his long legs and was about to give chase without any hesitation, the corner of his eye inadvertently swept over the porcelain floor, dragging a field of bright red.

His heart fiercely shook, Huo Yaoting held his breath as he stared at the deep red liquid on the floor, a wave of shock surging through his eyes.

With every step he took, Ye Xi put down his curly hair, covering his tear-stained face that was in an extremely sorry state.

Compared to two years ago, he had imprisoned her even more tightly.

She could vaguely sense his change.

Two years ago, despite his anger, he had never forced her into harm's way.

But now, not only did he force her, he even treated it as a form of punishment. Torturing her, torturing her so cruelly.

He had become cold-blooded and ruthless!

Ye Xi ignored the pain on her body and quickened her pace. She only wanted to leave quickly, and leave even faster.

"Young Master Lian ? Ah ? "Who is it that has no eyes ?"

A sharp, angry female voice cut through his eardrums, and he was shoved backward.

Ye Xi's legs were weak, it was expected that he would push her down to the ground.

Ye Xi hurriedly lowered his head and apologized in a low voice. His voice was hoarse and had a thick nasal sound, a pair of pale-white slender hands supported themselves on the ground, and even though he was struggling to stand up, he was still unable to do so.

Fortunately, a warm and kind palm gently grabbed her arm and pulled her up from the ground.

Ye Xi did not look at him.

The man was still holding onto the woman's arm, frowning as he looked at the woman's stooped back. His heart was beating heavily.

"Ah ?" "Blood, it's blood. Heavens ?"

The woman's terrified scream attracted the man's gaze that was fixated on Ye Xi.

Tightening his lips, the man looked down at the thumb-sized drops of red liquid on the cobblestone road under the illumination of the street lamps.

Peach Blossom's phoenix eyes suddenly contracted, without thinking, she immediately turned and chased after Ye Xi.

Ye Xi's eyes swelled in pain, and his vision became more and more blurry. His head was full of sweat, his hands tightly gripped onto his skirt, and he moved forward with difficulty, as if his legs were bound by a thousand kilogram boulder.

Suddenly, his left leg got hit, causing Ye Xi to not even have the strength to struggle, he rushed forward.

As his eyes swept across the greyish white ground, Ye Xi's pale lips curled up in a bitter smile as she slowly closed her eyes.

However, the final pain didn't come. She fell into a warm embrace.

Ye Xi was startled, and slowly opened his eyes.

The man's face was deep and calm.

Ye Xi raised his chin, and smiled at him, "Jingxing..."

Lu Jingxing looked at Ye Xi's face that was as white as flour, and her eyes that were clear as water, which were swollen and dry at this moment, as though she was not even breathing.

Ye Xi really didn't have any strength left, she was sweating profusely as her breathing became more and more difficult.

His head was flushed and his vision blurred.

Tears streamed down her blood-red eyes, and her low and hoarse voice filled with weakness and vicissitudes, "Jingxing, bring Ji

ian and I back, I want to go back now."

Ye Xi could not see how tense Lu Jingxing's hands were, nor did he see the intense love and pain that instantly shot out from his clear and cold eyes ? Rage!

Lu Jingxing's hard Adam's apple rolled down with difficulty, and he lowered his head to look at the little girl who had lost the last of her strength.

The pain in his heart was so intense that it almost made him want to destroy everything.

With scarlet eyes, Lu Jingxing bent his body and carefully picked up Ye Xi in a very gentle ma

er.

This was the first time he held her like this.

She was lighter and thi

er than he had imagined.

She curled up in his arms, helpless as a wounded animal.

Her silent tears dampened the front of his shirt, and her stifled sobs hammered at his heart like a hammer.

Lu Jingxing lowered his head and looked at the delicate ankle that was exposed from within the skirt of her evening gown.

He thought, this scene that made my heart feel like it was being stabbed by a knife will forever remain in my mind.

And the fragile girl in his arms, he will spend the rest of his life, waiting and cherishing.

Lu Jingxing quickly carried Ye Xi and left the ball.

On the chariot, Lu Jingxing contacted the doctor and went to the Royal Palace Hotel to wait. Then, he immediately prepared to bring Ye Xi back to the hotel.

But Ye Xi stubbornly insisted on waiting for Ji

ian before he was willing to go back to the hotel.

Under the pressure, Lu Jingxing had no choice but to get Demon to immediately bring Ji

ian over.

In less than ten minutes, he had sent Ji

ian in front of Lu Jingxing.

The car sped towards the hotel.

Inside the carriage, Ji

ian sat on the leather chair opposite to Ye Xi in a daze. Looking at Ye Xi, his fat hands moved in a daze.

Ye Xi's dry lips parted, as she struggled to open her eyes and look at Ji

ian. She wanted to get down from Lu Jingxing's embrace, but her strength was still lacking.

Giving Ji

ian a shallow smile would even take a lot of her effort, "Darling ?"

Ye Xi moved his fingers slightly towards Ji

ian.

But Ji

ian saw that he slowly walked down from his seat and walked in front of Ye Xi. His small hands cupped Ye Xi's pale face: "An An, what's wrong with you?"

Ye Xi wrinkled his nose and said, "I think I have a cold."

Ji

ian pursed her lips, tiptoed and touched Ye Xi's forehead with the back of her hand ? So hot!

Ji

ian took a deep breath, his black bright and pure eyes opened wide in nervousness, "An An, you have a fever!"

Ye Xi nodded his chin, and laughed heartless, "Yes."

Ji

ian frowned, her lips pressed tightly together. She did not say anything, but her little hands continued to wipe the sweat on Ye Xi's forehead.

Ji

ian who was like that really resembled that person ?

Ye Xi's eyes flashed dejectedly, and her long eyelashes silently drooped down.
