"Xinghe !"The moment the familiarly deep voice faintly reached her ears , Rong Xinghe"s mind went blank completely and her grip on the phone tightened. The girl tried her best to not make a single sound , fearing that she might not be able to hear the voice again. But no matter how hard she tried , she couldn"t calm her rapidly beating heart.
"F...Fang , wa...was that him ?", the girl asked anxiously.
Xi Fang was in quite a shock too. But as soon as he turned around , he saw that Xi Yuan was struggling to separate the IV drip from his arm. The man quickly threw his phone away and rushed towards the man worriedly ,"Brother ! What are you trying to do ?! Oh my G.o.d ! You are finally... Don"t get up. Lie down. Let me call the doctors. No !"
As the girl listened to Xi Fang"s anxious shrieks , her hand involuntarily stretched for the car keys on the table and she ran out of her office hurriedly. She needed to see him as soon as possible.

Soon enough , doctors arrived at the Elite Saphhire Penthouse and checked on Xi Yuan"s condition patiently , giving attention to every little and minor detail. The Xi family , along with the Superfamily , had also gathered inside the man"s room. But Xi Yuan"s eyes were still searching for someone who hadn"t arrived yet.
"Mr. Yuan"s condition is stable now. Although his body is still pretty weak , he will be able to recuperate more easily now. We will provide you with a proper diet chart and medication plan for him. Please follow it and contact us if any complication occurs.", the doctors commented and took their leave as Xi Wei escorted them out.
Xi Fang remained silent for sometime before he hugged Xi Yuan tightly as his voice choked up ,"We missed you..."
"You took a lot of time to wake up , brother !", Xi Ying yelled at the man before she joined into the hug as well.
Xi Yuan sighed as he wiped his sister"s tears ,"I am sorry..."
After sometime , Zhi Al cleared his throat as he glanced at Xi Yuan ,"By the way , I hacked into your e-mail account to send mails to the six of us. I would like to apologize for that. It was just that Xinghe had decided to take over Xi Corporations and we had to take care of the PR. I hope you won"t mind."
Xi Yuan frowned as he asked weakly ,"Is she... still managing... the business ?"
Lu Wei nodded his head ,"She is. I would like to have a word with you about it after you recover , though. After all , there has been a lot of pressure on her recently. Just what were you thinking when you..."
"Wei ! He has just got back his consciousness. Could you not talk about the business now ?", Ningtao cut in. She glared at her husband angrily. Was it really necessary to intimidate a weak patient ? But for Rong Xinghe"s brothers , her health wasn"t something trivial too. And same was the case with Xi Yuan.
The man fixed his gaze on his younger brother , who was sitting beside him ,"Fang , could you... be any less.... stubborn ?"
Xi Fang was just about to explain himself to the man , when the sound of approaching footsteps was heard in the room. Few seconds later , a tall figure rushed into the room , demanding everyone"s attention. As soon as the girl"s eyes met with those of the man , their breathing steadied and the world around them somewhat quietened down.
Involuntarily , a stream of tears flowed down the girl"s eyes and she sat down on the edge of the man"s bed carefully , paying close attention to not touch his wounds or medical drips. The man naturally understood the woman"s concerns more than anyone as he gently placed the girl"s hand into his and smiled at her warmly ,"Don"t punish me... like this , Ma"jolie. Your every... touch is miraculous. Don"t stay... away."
Unfortunately , the man"s words weren"t able to calm the girl down. Instead , she rested her head against the man"s shoulder and started crying even more , allowing all her fears and pains to flow down with the tears. The man didn"t uttered a single word , and neither did the two families. They knew very well that she needed this. She needed time to believe that her Yuan was finally back. And it was perfectly alright...
After sometime , the girl separated herself from the man and looked at him seriously. Xi Yuan caressed the girl"s hair lovingly as a smile appeared across his lips ,"What do you... want to say , Xinghe ?"
Rong Xinghe contemplated for roughly two minutes before she finally looked at the man ,"Screw the grand confession."
Without bothering about the people around them , the girl leaned in on the man and closed the distance between their lips. Xi Yuan groaned softly, low in his throat, and then his arms circled her , providing the girl with some support. He wasn"t simply able to process the sudden change. Rong Xinghe wasn"t clearly the type of woman to act impulsively. Why was he feeling like this was something else ? Something , which was very important for him to know ! What confession was she talking about just now ?
Only when Xi Yuan started having difficulty in breathing , did Rong Xinghe allowed him to part from her. The girl held onto the man"s both hands tightly before she smiled sweetly at him ,"Xi Yuan , I love you !"
"Huh ?!", the man looked at the girl with a shocked expression. What... just happened now ? What did she meant by that ?
The girl also naturally understood the man"s reaction. She had really made him wait for a long time for this. She was at fault here.
So the girl hugged the man gently and whispered her confession softly in his ear ,"Mr. Xi , I , Rong Xinghe , love you from the depth of my heart. I am sorry to make you wait for this , dear. I wanted to tell you about my feelings after Fang"s engagement , but circ.u.mstances turned against us before that.
"You showed a lot of patience , Yuan. You waited for me to deal with my past and priorities. That was very sweet of you. But I can"t test your patience anymore. I really love you. I love you more than my life , Xi Yuan !"
