As Zhi Xi noticed that the reporters were too afraid to ask anything , he took in a deep breath and started speaking himself ,"Alright then. We would like to make certain things clear from our side. Actually , we will be supporting our sister , no matter what she decides. The country doesn"t need to worry about its security. Military Chief wouldn"t compromise this position for anything in the world. The nation and its safety has always been her first and foremost priority."She will be sharing her other responsibilities with us , though. It is impossible for the Military Chief to manage so many tasks at once. Not to mention , she is a migraine patient as well. Naturally , her family and friends are going to stand by her side at such a time. I will be taking over the Rong Corporations from her for the time being and Mr. William Young will be managing the Youth Team. Meanwhile , the second lady , Rong Xiao , will be helping with the NGO."
Lu Wei adjusted his tie and continued further ,"And regarding the matters with the Xi Corporations , this is indeed the truth that she is going to temporarily take over the business empire from President Yuan , who isn"t in his best health currently. We completely support this decision of hers as well.
"Before discussing the depth of their relations.h.i.+p , one should know that their relations.h.i.+p had established with the foundation of a pure friends.h.i.+p. And it is normal for friends to support each other during tough times , right ?"
After a few seconds of silence , there was a murmur of agreement from the group of reporters as they nodded their heads at each other. There was no point stretching this topic anymore. The relations.h.i.+p between Rong Xinghe and Xi Yuan was clearly a beautiful and serene one. Whether it was of friends.h.i.+p or that of romance , the man and the woman were a perfect match. So there was nothing wrong in Rong Xinghe taking over the Xi business empire.
But there were still many questions running through their heads. So one of the journalist raised his hand and directed his question towards Xi Fang ,"Sir , it is a matter of record that you were going to get engaged to Ms. Jiang Yue tomorrow. But after everything that is happening in the Xi family now , what are your plans for the future ?"
Xi Fang took a deep breath before he answered emptily ,"I hope the Ms. Jiang would forgive me for my actions , but I cannot celebrate such a grand day of my life without the presence of brother Yuan. He is no less than the almighty G.o.d for me. Hence , his blessings matter a lot to me." the man felt a burning sensation in the corner of his eyes at this time. He simply bowed down and wiped his tears as he mumbled in a choked and weak voice ,"I am sorry , Yue. I love you but my responsibilities... are calling for me. Xiao Xinghe needs my a.s.sistance currently. But you are suffering a lot too. I am really sorry , Yue."

Night , 10:00 p.m.
City Hospital ,
Rong Xinghe walked into the Private ward tiredly as she held onto some files in her hands. The girl smiled sadly at the man sleeping motionlessly on the bed and dropped the stack of doc.u.ments upon the couch in the corner of the room. She then approached the man and sat down on the stool beside the bed as she held the man"s hand into hers and kissed it softly.
"How have you been today ? Were the doctors nice to you ? Okay , let me tell you about what happened today. I did what you wanted me to do , Yuan. I walked into the headquarters of Xi Corporations and claimed my right to become the CEO of the business group. Initially , the shareholders didn"t welcomed me warmly. But then they eventually accepted your wish.
"Then I walked into your office. You know I saw your workplace for the first time and that was so cla.s.sy and mesmerizing. You sure have a great choice , Mr. Xi. But I didn"t dared to sit on your throne. Even if the Queen is managing the empire in absence of the King , the throne will still belong to you.
"Other than that , my brothers showed up together in the press conference organized by the Xi family and helped Fang to deal with the reporters. They were pretty ruthless today. But that is also the cutest trait they possess. The protective and vigilant six tigers of mine !
"Fang was in a pretty weak state , though. You know you were right. No one can understand your siblings better than you. You had already told me that Fang would be the most devastated one , if something ever happened to you , and see. He was so shattered , Yuan. He even postponed his wedding plans until the time when you would wake up."
At this time , tears started flowing down the girl"s eyes as she hugged the man"s hand even more tightly ,"Please wake up , love ! For me , for your Xinghe. I am so helpless without you. I feel like my heart is being p.r.i.c.ked by thousands of needles endlessly all day. This... this is so suffocating. This show and these fake smiles are all so suffocating.
"I want you , Yuan. I need you ! Please come back to me. Come back to your Xinghe. She is waiting for you. Mr. Xi , Rong Xinghe loves you ! Did you hear me ? I love... you.", the girl kept on crying for the entire night before she finally fell asleep beside the man. The only question left was , that what was this beautiful couple destined for ?
