"Xinghe ! Come down. ", Zhi Al called the girl for breakfast when Xinguan were "discussing" business.Rong Xinghe was so startled that she literally flew back down with the speed of light. Xi Yuan couldn"t even catch upto her. The man sighed as he followed behind her. It seemed like the biggest hindrance in his love story were going to be none other than the six sister-doting tigers.
As soon as the man and the woman reached the dining room , Su Rogguang frowned and looked seriously at the girl ,"Why do you look so fl.u.s.tered , kiddo ?"
Zhi Xi nodded at the man and glared straight at Xi Yuan ,"Did anyone said anything to you ?"
Xi Yuan couldn"t help but smile awkwardly at his mentor. Now how was he to explain to the five men that he had just kissed their sister upstairs ? Moreover , even if he was to lie , Zhi Xi and Lu Wei were the last people he could fool.
Rong Xinghe had exactly the same feelings. Hiding anything from her brothers was literally impossible for her. If it was about military , she could easily keep them in the dark. But when it was about things like these , they could see through her clearly.
"Bro... I..."
"Hey Xinghe ! Did you tried the new steamer I brought from Russia for you ? You are always tired by the work nowadays. It will help you relax. You should use it more often.", Ching Tong entered the dining room and patted the girl"s shoulder ,"Oh ! You have already used it ? No wonder your face seems to have reddened. Did you like it ?"
Rong Xinghe was confused initially but she decided to play along ,"Um... yeah. It was quite relieving. Thank you sis-in-law Tong !"
"Ah ! Don"t mention it.", the woman smiled and looked at her soon-to-be husband ,"Is the meal ready , Rogguang ?"
Su Rogguang returned his gaze back at the dishes and nodded ,"Almost. Call the other ladies in as well."
As soon as Su Rogguang and Zhi Xi entered into the kitchen again , Ching Tong turned around and winked at Xi Yuan ,"You are safe !"
Xi Yuan smiled back at the lady and patted Rong Xinghe"s head ,"I have my allies here."
Rong Xinghe : "....."
Your allies ? My sister-in-laws ?
That was much too cunning of this man ! After all , the six tigers were completely helpless against these tigresses. She could literally bow down to Xi Yuan"s brilliance currently. How smart !
But this alliance wasn"t going to be a secret from the six men for too long and the scenario then was going to be much more funnier than this.
Ching Tong turned around to face Rong Xinghe ,"Go and bring your other sister-in-laws in. I need to have a word with Yuan."
The girl glanced suspiciously at the man in front of her and exited the dining room to drag back her sister-in-laws inside. Why were they all being so chatty today ?
"What is it Dr. Tong ?", Xi Yuan asked the woman as soon as Rong Xinghe left.
"Keep it up , Yuan. Rong Xinghe"s mental health is improving gradually everyday , ever since you have entered her life. I and Rogguang were discussing her reports yesterday and we realized that she might move on from her past. She is opening up to you and that is a positive sign. There is just one problem , though.", Ching Tong sighed.
"And that is ?"
"The responsibilities on her shoulders. She is a woman of firm determination and if she has made up her mind to handle both Rong Empire and Country X"s security herself , no one can stop her. But she will eventually take her health for granted. This can threaten her life as she is a migraine patient and too much stress can be fatal for her.", Ching Tong explained.
Xi Yuan furrowed his brows worriedly. If something was to happen to his Xinghe , how would he be able to continue with his life. Without her , he couldn"t survive in this world. For him , Rong Xinghe was the reason behind his existence. So there was no way that he would let anything happen to her.
"Don"t worry , Dr. Tong. I will not allow her to over-exhaust herself. We both are living besides each other in the Elite residences currently. Thanks for giving me the heads up. I will take more care of her from now on.", the man promised.
"I trust you."

Meanwhile , Rong Xinghe had hauled Ningao and Songyan along with little baby Alix inside the house by this time. She then turned around to bring back Cheng Tai and Feng Mian.
"Guys ! Go inside.", Rong Xinghe rolled her eyes at the two ladies discussing gymnastics with peak interest.
"Wait Xinghe. So Tai , about that technique , we...", Feng Mian continued.
But at this time , Rong Xinghe heard the sounds of the leaves rustling even though there was no wind. As a trained special forces commando , her hand reflexively landed on her jacket where she was used to hide her revolver.
"Mian , Tai ! I said go back in.", Rong Xinghe said once again seriously.
Cheng Tai didn"t understood the change in the woman"s tone but Feng Mian had been working under Rong Xinghe"s leaders.h.i.+p for more than a year now. As a result , she also subconsciously tightened her grip on the gun in the handbag she had brought along with her. She also closed her eyes and tried to listen to the slightest bit of movement around her. And to her surprise , she also felt as if they were being spied upon.
Hafiz Al-Magdosh ! Couldn"t he chose any other time ? And this was quite fast. At least , they could have had enjoyed the breakfast with the family. Sigh !
"Tai , quickly go in and inform everyone to stay low. No one should come out. Go !", Feng Mian looked straight into Cheng Tai"s eyes in a commanding manner.
BANG !
The moment Feng Mian said this to the woman , Rong Xinghe shot down a well-built masculine man wearing Black clothes head-to-toe ,"Tai , run back in. Mian , shoot !" As soon as the words left Rong Xinghe"s mouth , all the remaining nine a.s.sa.s.sins started shooting at the ladies maniacally.
Cheng Tai nodded and turned around to head back inside while both Rong Xinghe and Feng Mian took cover behind the garden wall and started shooting back at the a.s.sa.s.sins. They both were Special Forces soldiers and were obviously the sharpshooters of the army , so it was just a matter of time that they would take down all of those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds.
But there was only one problem , they didn"t had a proper cover. The garden wall was too small to hide behind , so it was affecting their speed.
At this time one of the a.s.sa.s.sins climbed inside the penthouse and stood behind the trunk of a tree. His position was such that he could easily point at Rong Xinghe"s right shoulder and that was his real mission : to a.s.sa.s.sinate the Military Chief of Country X.
So without wasting anytime , the a.s.sa.s.sin adjusted his position and targeted Rong Xinghe. Boss would hire him to a higher position , he thought as an evil grin appeared across his lips and he pulled the trigger.
BANG !
"Aaahhh !", a cry resounded throughout the garden.
Rong Xinghe turned around to look at what had happened as Feng Mian continued to shoot at the front. When Rong Xinghe saw the person struggling with her life , she felt all the energy drain out of her body as the revolver almost slid down her fingers.
Next second , the girl finally found back her voice ,"Ch... Cheng Tai !"
Even Feng Mian was taken aback by Rong Xinghe"s scream. Her eyes widened when she saw blood flowing through Cheng Tai"s chest as she lied on the ground breathing heavily. What would they say to Mo Zixuan ?!
Before anyone could say anything further , Rong Xinghe fired in the air and the bullet directly penetrated through the a.s.sa.s.sin"s head who was hiding behind the tree.
Rong Xinghe then quickly cut out a piece of her long skirt as she tightly wrapped Cheng Tai"s shoulder in it ,"You will have to live ! For me. And for him."
Cheng Tai grabbed Rong Xinghe"s hand as tears of pain flowed down her eyes ,"Xi...Xinghe ! Tell Zixuan that I...I loved him and I am s..sorry for sa..saying all that."
The moment Cheng Tai said this , her eyes closed down and her grip on Rong Xinghe"s hand loosened.
