As her grip on Yue Lingsi’s wrist tightened, Yue Lingsi could not stop screaming, “Xi Xiaye, how dare you do this to me? I’m going to make you pay!”


Yue Lingsi howled at her before trying to charge again, but as she tried to move forward, someone grabbed her by the collar from the back and lifted her up before she could react. Then, she was dropped onto the floor, causing her great pain.


The bodyguards!


Her scream spread throughout the corridor.



“Are you alright?”


He rushed back anxiously as he studied Xi Xiaye who frowned when she felt the pain on her shoulder, but she shook her head. “I’m fine.”


However, he noticed her painful expression. When he looked over at her shoulder and lifted her shirt slightly, he saw the fingernail marks!


He was only gone for a few minutes and this happened!


His expression darkened as he threw Yue Lingsi a cold glare. He then gave Li Si a signal, but when Li Si was about to give instructions to the bodyguards, Xi Xiaye stopped him.


“It’s not a big deal. Don’t cause a big ruckus in the hospital,” she whispered to him, sounding worried. “Bring me to clean my wounds first.”


“She dared to hurt you right here. She’s tired of living!” Mu Yuchen’s tone was chilly cold as he shielded her in his arms.


“There are a lot of opportunities in the future. Li Si, you guys can wait at the car.”


Li Si turned to Mu Yuchen hesitantly while the bodyguards let go of Yue Lingsi after Mu Yuchen nodded.


“Don’t you dare go away! Do you think you can just leave after hitting me?! Everyone, come and take a look, they—”


Xi Xiaye held Mu Yuchen back as she told Li Si, “Take her to the police!”


“Yes, Director Xi!”


Yue Lingsi was finally brought away.


Inside the examination room, the doctor was applying some antiseptic onto Xi Xiaye’s wound while Mu Yuchen sat beside her. When he saw her face getting pale, he wrapped his arm around her waist, and the two of them cooperatively remained silent.


He almost wanted to lift her up in her arms after the doctor was done cleaning her wound, but she insisted, “I’m alright. I can walk.”


He did not say anything and still insisted on lifting her up as he walked out of the room.


“I’m not going to let this go. She’s going to pay for this!” Mu Yuchen held her in his arms as he walked through the empty corridor. With a lowered head, he contemplated her as he spoke coldly, “That woman won’t just leave it like this. We should take action and eliminate her first to avoid further worries.”


Xi Xinyi had been quiet ever since that incident, but now Yue Lingsi was looking for trouble.


Xi Xiaye did not say anything. She did not agree or disagree to it. Instead, she was struggling to get down, but he held her tighter. In the end, she gave up and just buried her face in his chest instead.


“As expected, she’s trying to get the inheritance from Deng Wenwen. She probably wanted to use them to clear her gambling debts. She’s also trying to track down my parents. I’m really alright. Don’t worry. I’m not as weak as you think. Just put me down.”


“You sound relaxed. That woman is mad! You should’ve avoided her.”


The two of them hastened their steps and they arrived at the car swiftly. Mu Yuchen told the chauffeur to head back to Maple Residence.


“Didn’t you say they were waiting at the club?” Xi Xiaye frowned.


“I’ll send you back first. You must be in shock. You don’t have to join us.”


“But…”


“No buts,” he interrupted her before she could finish her sentence.


He made her rest after they got back to Maple Residence. She wanted to ask her about Deng Wenwen’s condition, but he received a phone call after he settled her down and then left afterward.


Xi Xiaye knew very well that he was still angry…


In the evening, w.a.n.g Hui came over and delivered some tonic. She felt that it was odd to see Xi Xiaye sitting in the living room watching TV alone.


w.a.n.g Hui prepared a fruit platter for Xi Xiaye as she asked, “Where did Ah Chen go? Did he leave you alone at home?”


“Oh, he went out with Su Chen and the others, but he’ll be back soon. Don’t worry about it.”


“So, he left you at home and went out with his friends? What was he thinking?” w.a.n.g Hui frowned, but Xi Xiaye just smiled. “It’s fine. They usually drink when they gather anyway, so it’s not really suitable for me to join them.”


“Let him be then. What do you want to eat tonight? I’ll make dinner for you. Actually, I’m pretty worried that it’ll get harder for you to move around in the future. Your body is weak, and Ah Chen doesn’t really know how to take care of people. I’m thinking that you should move back to the Mu Residence in a month or two, then you can focus on your baby. It’s better with me and your grandfather around to help,” w.a.n.g Hui said as she picked the magazines lying on the sofa up.


Xi Xinyi took a deep breath and said gently, “You don’t have to worry about me. I’m still fine at the moment. He has a lot of work piled up these few days. I’ll also try to get some work done while I can. I’ll probably get sick if I always stay at home.”


“Okay, I know I can’t convince you, but it’s okay if you don’t want to move back. I’ll move over then when it’s time. By the way, I overheard Li Si’s phone call with your grandfather just now. He said Deng Wenwen’s condition is pretty bad and you guys went to visit her. What happened?”


It was pretty difficult to hide things from w.a.n.g Hui.


Xi Xiaye nodded and explained, “Last night, we received Father’s phone call at the Shen residence. He said there was an emergency at the rehabilitation center, so Mu Yuchen sent Li Si over immediately. Her surgery was only completed this morning, and she’s still in a critical phase right now. We planned to go out somewhere today, but we received Li Si’s call, so we went straight to the rehabilitation center.”
