Chapter 206: Finally Rescued
Pei Yan stood at the door, pacing back and forth.
He had been waiting for two days, and his heart was filled not only with worry for Xiaoman, but also with concern for Fang Xiaoxiao, who had not eaten or drunk anything for two days.
For two whole days, the two of them stayed in the room without being allowed to bring them any food, which was really worrying.
Not being good at expressing his feelings, he could only wait anxiously.
"Young master, why don't we knock on the door again to ask how Madam Fang is doing, and also bring them some food? It's been two days already, how could an ordinary person stand it, let alone them?"
His subordinate suggested.
Pei Yan knew exactly what he meant, but there was nothing he could do. Since Fang Xiaoxiao had given such instructions, he couldn't very well disturb her in the slightest. If something went wrong because of this, wouldn't all his efforts be in vain?
This is the thought.
He shook his head, indicating that...
"Let's not disturb them now. Let's ask them again later tonight!"
……
inside the room.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
Fang Xiaoxiao, who had finally regained her strength, slowly opened her eyes, stretched, and looked at Xiaoman lying on the bed with a slightly tired expression.
She stood up and assessed the situation.
Her face was slightly flushed, and the original purplish-black color of her lips had faded.
"It's finally getting better. As long as I rest quietly, I should be fine."
As we were talking, my stomach started rumbling.
For two and a half days, they hadn't eaten a single grain of rice and were starving.
Hurry up and get to the door.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Pei Yan holding food in his hands.
The two bumped into each other.
"Hey, don't you have eyes? That hurts so much!"
She rubbed her head and complained, her forehead throbbing from the impact.
Pei Yan intended to offer some words of comfort, but the words that came out were instead a lecture.
"Don't you know I'm blind?"
"Besides, who told you to be so impatient, rushing out without even checking the situation?"
"..."
That seems to make sense.
After he said that, Fang Xiaoxiao actually thought it made sense.
But as I opened my mouth to continue speaking, I smelled the aroma of meat, and my stomach rumbled again.
Looking at the food in Pei Yan's hands, he no longer cared about that nonsense.
They picked it up directly, completely disregarding any image.
Pei Yan saw this and instead of feeling disgusted, he felt a little affection for him.
This strange feeling came from nowhere.
The meal ended quickly.
After eating and drinking her fill, Fang Xiaoxiao, burping, glanced at Pei Yan, who was still staring at her.
"What are you looking at so intently? Do I have sleep in my eyes?"
Thinking that I hadn't washed my face for two days, I subconsciously rubbed the corner of my eye with my hand and found that it was indeed a little dark.
Feeling rather awkward for a moment, I quickly changed the subject.
He pointed to Xiaoman on the bed.
"Xiaoman's poison has been neutralized. She should wake up in a little while. Just send someone to take care of her. Remember to give her her medicine on time these next few days."
"I'm going to find a place to sleep first. You absolutely mustn't come into my room while I'm fast asleep and do anything bad to me, or I'll castrate you and then kill myself!"
As she spoke, she made a slashing gesture, warning Pei Yan, who was giving her a strange look.
Pei Yan was speechless at this remark and said coldly.
"How could I possibly do anything to you? Someone like you is beneath my notice."
"You'd better not like me. Even if you did, it wouldn't matter. I don't care about you at all!"
After bickering for a while, she was so sleepy that she decided to go back to her room to sleep.
After a long day of exhaustion, a person can fall asleep the moment their head hits the bed and sleep soundly for hours.
In her dream, Fang Xiaoxiao dreamed of lots of food and fun activities, like hot pot, barbecue, KTV, bars, and all sorts of wild fun.
"Mmm...I really want to go home!"
After waking up, the alluring images from her dream kept replaying in her mind.
Unfortunately, I can't go back.
After spacing out for a while, just as she was about to leave, she heard a knock on the door.
When the door was opened, the person who entered was none other than Pei Yan.
His expression was no longer as cold as before, but instead a peaceful one.
Upon seeing who opened the door, his tone became much more humble.
"you're awake?"
Fang Xiaoxiao was a little dazed and replied absentmindedly.
"I'm awake, I'm hungry, is there anything to eat?"
Pei Yan nodded and led her to a large hall.
Two subordinates were sitting at the table.
Upon seeing Fang Xiaoxiao, they stood up and greeted her respectfully.
"Thank you for your help, Madam Fang. Please accept my bow. I hope you won't look down on us rough men."
The two men's attitude immediately brought Fang Xiaoxiao back to her senses, and she quickly smiled and asked them to sit down.
"It was nothing, everyone. Please sit down and eat first. We can talk later."
After meal.
The group arrived at Xiaoman's room.
Seeing Xiaoman's complexion gradually recover, Fang Xiaoxiao finally felt relieved.
"I need to go back and check on He Jinnian. I wonder how he's recovering."
As soon as he said this, Pei Yan's originally gentle expression instantly turned much colder.
He replied coldly.
"What's there to worry about? Isn't that assassin still waiting for He Jinnian to overturn the case for the person he saved? Why bother with such concerns!"
"..."
This left Fang Xiaoxiao, who was about to leave, speechless.
I never expected Pei Yan to say something like that, what does it mean to worry about something like that?
You should know that He Jinnian wasn't just trying to exonerate the assassin, but also her.
If the prefect isn't arrested, she'll remain a wanted criminal. Forget about opening a flagship store in Jiangnan Province; she probably won't even be able to return to Changle County.
This guy is completely heartless and selfish.
Thinking of this, she retorted irritably.
"What do you know? I'm not only saving the assassin, but also saving myself. If it weren't for He Jinnian, I'd still be a wanted criminal, do you know that!"
The voice wasn't loud, but it left everyone looking at each other in bewilderment, even Pei Yan was speechless.
Think again and again.
Pei Yan sighed.
"Oh...I understand."
It's strange, he seems to be making some kind of decision.
Fang Xiaoxiao felt a strange pang of sadness in her heart.
However, the important thing is to focus on the big picture; everything else is unimportant.
Following Pei Yan again, they arrived at the Li family's backyard in silence.
Just as Pei Yan left, He Jinnian was sitting in front of the stone table, lost in thought.
"what happened?"
With a question in mind, Fang Xiaoxiao inquired.
He Jinnian seemed to snap out of his daze and looked up at the person who had arrived.
"It's nothing, I'm just a little envious of Young Master Pei, who can be with his wife anytime."
"???"
What's wrong with everyone today? They're all talking in a sarcastic and unsettling way, as if they're implying something about me.
But she had no evidence, so she could only laugh it off.
"Aren't we all together all the time? How could you think like that? You've just recovered from a serious illness, you still need to rest well and avoid catching a cold!"
