Xie Limo’s alluring eyes were filled in heartache. With his slender hands, he gently wiped Yun Bixue’s tears away before caressing her head. “I’m okay. It’s not a dream. Are you hurt anywhere?” Xie Limo’s voice was low and gentle. He was afraid that he would scare her as his voice couldn’t deny his pain.
Yun Bixue shook her head and looked at Xie Limo with widened eyes. She didn’t dare to blink, afraid that he would disappear once she did. He was very important to her, and she was scared of letting him out of her sight.
Looking at Yun Bixue who was like this, Xie Limo clearly knew what she was thinking. He sighed inwardly and lowered his head to kiss her forehead. “You sound a little hoarse. Let me pour some water for you.”
Xie Limo was about to stand up when Yun Bixue tugged at his arm. Shaking her head, she said, “I’m not thirsty. You can just sit here.” She patted the spot beside her as she asked him to sit there.
Xie Limo’s heart called out to her as he blamed himself. He hated that he couldn’t hug her tightly just now.“I’m not going anywhere. I will stay here and accompany you. Do you have anything you want to eat? Eat something first?” Xie Limo’s voice was incredibly gentle and soothing, as though Yun Bixue was a fragile treasure that would break at any moment.
Yun Bixue continued shaking her head. “I’m not that weak. Limo, what happened that day?” Now that her mind was clear, she started to think about it. Seeing that Xie Limo was perfectly fine, she felt that something was off, and she couldn’t help the suspicions that had begun to rise.
Xie Limo knew that she would realize that something was wrong once she recovered, but he didn’t know how to explain it to her. There were too many things that couldn’t be explained clearly.
Noticing his silence, Yun Bixue asked persistently, “Hubby, what’s wrong? You can’t tell me about it?” Her voice carried over her feelings of indignance.
Xie Limo couldn’t resist and endure it any longer. Her expression tugged at his heartstrings, especially the tears in her eyes that seemed to pierce right through his heart.
“It’s not that I can’t say it. It’s just that I don’t know how to explain it. I’m afraid that you’ll get angry.”
“You’re scared that I will get angry?”Xie Limo nodded his head seriously. “Of course. You’re my wife. How you feel is the most important thing to me.”
Yun Bixue tilted her head down and looked at her ringless hand. That day, when she had found out that he got into an accident, it seemed like her entire world came crumbling down. The despair in her heart had made her understand that many things in this world were not that important. At that moment, she promised to herself that she wouldn’t be greedy for rings as long as Xie Limo was well and alive.
“Hubby, I’ll get really angry if you don’t tell me. Do you want to tell me what happened that day?”
Seeing Yun Bixue’s persistent gaze, a glittering glint flashed across Xie Limo’s alluring eyes, catching anyone who got caught in his guilt-filled gaze.
“What happened that day was… To lure out the mastermind, I decided to beat him at his own game. That was why you happened to see that scene. The reason why the reporters and the rescue team arrived so soon, and the news was broadcasted quickly was that they were all part of the plan. What I didn’t expect was for you to be there, and you even brought an unexpected person, Wang Qianjin. Ning An City is not secured, so we couldn’t afford to get into conflict with the Wang family…” While Xie Limo was explaining, he couldn’t seem to bear to look at Yun Bixue’s face. He was gravely afraid that what he would see would break his heart.
