Chapter 351-352

Chapter 351: I Won’t Let Any One Of Them Get Away ... As soon as she fell asleep, Yun Xi began to dream. Exactly like in a movie, all the secrets hidden deep inside of her were magnified and exhibited on the screen of her mind as she was sleeping. She dreamed about the time in her previous life when she had tested the medicine on herself and then she had fallen to the ground with convulsions. The chilly sensation she had felt then was like being submerged in a dark icy river, and it had been accompanied by the fear of suffocation. She had felt cold and hopeless. 　 　 The blurred figures of Han Yaotian and Qiao Ximin, her traitorous best friend, had been in the office too. They also had appeared in her dreams, and their harsh voices lingered in her ears. In her dream, she could hear Han Yaotian’s conceited, haughty laughter and the smug comments of Qiao Ximin, and she revisited the darkness of death after she had been pushed off the balcony. She could also re-feel the corrosive sting when her own mother, Liang Xiuqin, had poured sulfuric acid on her face. Mu Feichi had just fallen asleep. When Great White was awakened by Yun Xi’s restlessness, his movements woke up his master. Mu Feichi opened his eyes, sat up quickly, and looked toward the bed. He could see her sweating a little and rambling in her sleep. He turned on the bedside lamp and got up. “Babe, wake up...” He stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and, when he touched it, he realized that her temperature had gotten extremely high. He patted her on the cheek and said again, “Babe, wake up...” Seeing that she didn’t respond to him, he picked her up out of bed. Yun Xi, who was still trapped in her nightmare, was convulsing. Realizing that something was terribly wrong, he hurriedly dialed Su Hang’s phone number and frowned as he ordered directly, “The girl is having a nightmare with a burning fever, and I can’t wake her up! Someone is coming in a helicopter to get you. Please hurry!” “I’ll come right away!” On the other end of the phone, Su Hang, who had been woken up in the middle of the night, threw down the phone and got up immediately. In her sleep, with her eyes closed, Yun Xi covered her face and shook her head desperately. In her delirium, she shouted in a hoarse voice, “Don’t...don’t ruin my face...Mom, don’t...” His heart aching, Mu Feichi hugged her in his arms. Through fear that she would scratch herself, he held down her restless hands. He hadn’t expected what happened today to give her so much trauma. She’d appeared to be okay during the evening, but she’d probably been suppressing her anxiety. Like a person who had suffered too much and then suddenly lost it after living on the edge of the trauma for a long time, she was so upset that she’d contracted a high fever and was having constant nightmares. “Babe, what have you suffered? There must be things about you that I don’t know, after all.” She didn’t look this fragile on the surface, and she had a strong ability to withstand hardship. These nightmares probably hadn’t been caused by what had happened today. From the two days he’d lived at her place after being injured, he’d discovered that she was a very light sleeper who was very restless at night. This wasn’t the mental state a girl her age should be in. What had she experienced during those years in the countryside? Silently staring at the trembling person in his arms, Mu Feichi’s heart was in anguish. Under the bright yellow lights, his frosty, proud, handsome face took on a look that was especially cold. The Han family... And Crocodile... These two culprits and their cohorts had caused her to become like this, and every single one of them was going to pay. Su Hang got there quickly, and Mu Feichi dragged him to the side of the big bed to check Yun Xi’s condition. “How is she? She was fine this evening...” “Too much trauma, plus she was probably already quite stressed out, so all of this has accumulated for a long time. What happened today was as if a fuse had been lit that made all h*ll break lose. I will give her an injection first to reduce her fever, and she should be fine after the fever subsides.” Su Hang looked at the anguished young girl on the bed. She was the first one he had ever seen who had gotten so traumatized that she’d started having fevers and convulsions. After the injection, Su Hang picked up his medicine box and got up. “I will be in the guest room downstairs. Call me if you need me for something.” Looking at the figure of the young girl who had finally calmed down, Mu Feichi sat on the edge of the bed with a deep frown. His mood became more and more despondent. **************************** Chapter 352: What Is Being Concealed From Him? ... Mu Feichi had passed the entire night without sleeping. The sky outside the window was getting brighter, and, since it had been snowing all night, the sky appeared especially pale. Mu Feichi leaned over and checked Yun Xi’s forehead. He felt a little bit relieved after he was sure that the fever had subsided. Making certain that she was okay was much harder than staying up all night. Seeing her uncomfortable had made him feel the same way, so he had been anxious all night long. Now that her fever had finally subsided, he rubbed Great White’s head and told him to guard her. Then he went downstairs to ask the butler to prepare a light breakfast. 　 　 Soon, Su Hang went upstairs to check on the girl and make sure that the fever was gone. “This girl not only has something hidden that’s stressing her out deep inside, but she also has medical skills and combat skills that are way beyond her age level. Have you never been suspicious about her background?” Su Hang turned his head and looked up at the gloomy expression of the man who was sitting by the bed. However, when he gazed at the girl, his eyes were strangely gentle. “I asked Qi Yuan to check her background. There was nothing suspicious about her, so I don’t have any reason to doubt her.” The fact that there wasn’t anything suspicious about her background at all was the most suspicious thing about it. When facing this girl, even though he had been curious about her origins, when he became certain he desired her, all his doubts had completely disappeared. He desired this woman, so he didn’t need to care about her past. What he wanted were her present and her future. The past tense didn’t make any sense to him. Su Hang glanced at the foolish man in front of him, then tugged at the corners of his mouth as he patted Mu Feichi’s shoulder. “Boss, having seen you played for a fool by a woman in my lifetime, I will die without any regrets!” “Stop blabbering so much nonsense, and hurry up and go downstairs for breakfast.” 　 　 Not wanting to say anything more lest they wake up the person on the bed, Mu Feichi pinched Su Hang and pushed him out of the master bedroom. The door slammed shut, and Su Hang stood at the door with a dazed expression. “Damn you for burning all your bridges with your friends. What about bros before hoes!” Su Hang clenched his fists in annoyance, then took a deep breath, and went downstairs. He had been worried all night, so he hadn’t slept well either. This guy really would backstab his bro for a hoe... ... When Yun Xi woke up, she had a headache and her body felt sore and weak. It was almost as if she was experiencing a really bad hangover. She felt extremely fatigued and as if the room was spinning when she tried to get up. “You’re awake?” Mu Feichi reached out and helped her lean against the bed. “Yep, but what’s wrong with me?” Yun Xi lowered her head and could see that she was already dressed. Then she looked at the man sitting next to the bed and finally mustered a weak smile. Since her body didn’t have any energy, she guessed that she’d probably had a nightmare last night and hadn’t slept well. Mu Feichi had slept next to her on the floor. She didn’t know whether she’d said anything that she shouldn’t have said. 　 　 Her reincarnation had been a miraculous event. Even if she’d said something, it would probably only have been regarded as sleep talking, not something that anyone would have taken seriously. Because of this, she wasn’t worried. It was just...what was with Mu Feichi’s grave expression? Did she sleepwalk last night? “Young Marshal Mu, you didn’t take advantage of me in my moment of weakness last night, did you?” Mu Feichi raised his eyebrows, then chuckled as he pinched her pale cheeks. “You had such a high fever last night, so how would I have had the courage to lay hands on you. Do I look that insatiable and desperate?” “...” Yun Xi raised her hand and checked her forehead. The fever had subsided. Excessive trauma led to fever, which as a doctor she knew. Although doctors couldn’t treat themselves, such a situation wasn’t impossible. Seeing her somewhat disappointed expression, he reached out and clasped her chin to raise her head so her soft eyes met his gloomy eyes. “What’s that expression? You’re disappointed that I didn’t lay hands on you? Do you really want me to resort to any means necessary to lay hands on you?” Yun Xi gave him an angry look and moved her hand to pat away his hand. How could she resist an experienced philanderer like him flirting with her? “I’m too much for you to deal with!” Feebly, she shot a glare at him, but to him, it seemed a bit coquettish. “I have a big appetite.” “...” This topic really couldn’t be continued.
