“Where are the police! Why aren’t they here yet!” Xia Feiqing became furious.
While rapping on the door, he kept calling her phone, but no sound was heard from inside, not even a phone call.
Shit!
“Sir, the police have cordoned off the entire hotel.” The hotel manager explained from the sidelines.
Blocking the hotel is useless! He just wants her to be okay!
“There, there! It’s open a crack!” The maintenance man called out with a leap of faith.
Xia Feiqing directly lying to the elevator door to see, do not matter if you do not look, a look, the whole person froze, face as white as paper.
Her entire body collapsed on the floor, her face pale, her eyes tightly closed, it was difficult to recognize if she was still alive. He only felt his breath held, and fought to hang on to the elevator door, “Lan Lan, Zhao Lan Lan! Can you hear me?”
***
“You wake up! Hang on, you hear me!”
“I forbid anything to happen to you! Zhao Lanlan!” He slammed his fist against the door, bleeding from his fist, and didn’t even notice. The thought that she was going to die made his entire body look ashen.
“Sir, calm down, this will only stop the process of us opening the door.”
“Just fucking hurry up!” He could no longer resist bursting out, the veins on his forehead burst out. Through the thin cracks, it was even more obvious that the ‘thug’ had picked her up whole, and her hands, hanging down helplessly, as if she had completely lost her breath.
Xia Feiqing felt his breath stop.
He didn’t even know what to do to let it out other than slamming his fist hard against the wall.
“Alright, alright, the door is open!” With a shout, Xia Feiqing was the first to rush in. He reached out to hold Zhao Lanlan back, and in the next instant, the tall man was rushed up to twist his shoulders.
Before the other party could explain, Xia Feiqing, who had put Zhao Lanlan aside, had already rushed up with red eyes and grabbed the other party for a severe beating.
“Ouch! Stop it! Stop it!”
“Damn it, let you kill someone! Let you hurt him!” He was so violent that people didn’t dare to take a breath.
Within two strokes, the other party was already nose to nose, “Fuck you! I’m going to sue you … ah–”
The other guy took another punch.
“I’m not a murderer! I didn’t kill anyone!” The other man had a rare chance to catch his breath and immediately explained. His fist was about to swing down again, and he twisted to avoid it.
Xia Feiqing picked up the other party’s collar with one hand, “You’re not a murderer, then why is she like this?”
“She passed out from her own fright! I thought I was the murderer! But I’m not!” The other guy was so aggravated. Damn, somehow he took a beating.
“Really not?” Xia Feiqing wasn’t sure.
“Of course not. Look, do I have a scar on my face?” The other man took his hat off and glanced at her on the floor again, “Try pressing on her center. I guarantee she’ll wake up! She really did pass out from her own fright, it’s none of my business!”
Scared out of your wits?
It’s a bit of an oopsie, isn’t it?
Everyone sweats.
Xia Feiqing coldly grunted and fiercely shook him off, “How is it none of your business, if you weren’t dressed like this, how could you have scared her?”
He’s also really freaked out to be right!
“So I have to ask for your permission on what to wear!” The other party was no slouch, “Comrade police officer, I’m suing him! File a case for me!”
Xia Feiqing, however, didn’t bother to pay any more attention to him, and reached under Zhao Lanlan’s nose to probe her breathing before finally sighing in relief. Indeed, as the man said, she was fine, but she had just fainted. Xia Feiqing pinched her middle, her eyelashes fluttered, her brows tightly wrinkled, seemingly in pain.
“Lan Lan?” Xia Feiqing called out to her worriedly, and she gasped heavily a few times, slowly opening her eyes. In a daze, what came into her eyes was a worried face. Without even thinking, she jumped into his arms. It was as if at this moment, only his embrace could peacefully dispel the remaining uneasiness in her heart.
The warmth and softness in his arms hit him, causing him to freeze. In his heart, it was as if he was filled with something all of a sudden. He embraced her back and said, “It’s okay already, it’s okay …”
Soothingly, one at a time, he patted her back. She gripped the collar of his shirt with both hands, not letting go.
“Which room?” Xia Feiqing asked her in her ear.
“1505.” she returned to him weakly.
Xia Feiqing picked her up from the ground and headed for the stairs. The person who had been beaten up yelled, “No one is allowed to leave! I’m going to sue you!”
Xia Feiqing was only worried about Zhao Lanlan at the moment, so she said, “Come find me at 1505.”
Along the way, Zhao Lanlan lay in the crook of Xia Feiqing’s arm, her terrified and uneasy heart gradually settling down. However, feeling the warmth of his arm, the tip of her heart sank, and tears almost fell. She couldn’t understand this man – since he hated the Zhao family so much and destroyed the Zhao family, but now … why is he doing this to himself?
Nervous about her, worried about her …
“Crying what?” Xia Feiqing realized that his chest was wet, lowered his eyes, and met her reddened eyes, only to feel his heart tighten, even his footsteps paused for a moment. However, only for an instant, he started walking upstairs again. Zhao Lanlan asked, “Why did you … appear here?”
Her voice, choked.
“What?”
“… Nothing.” Zhao Lanlan shook her head, pursed her lips, and collected her tears before continuing, “Xia Feiqing, have you … ever felt guilty?”
Xia Feiqing frowned, “Guilt over your parents?”
“Well …”
“No.” He only gave her two words decisively. Zhao Lanlan closed her eyes and didn’t answer again, the atmosphere between the two fell into an extreme silence again, a suffocating silence. Instead, it was Xia Feiqing who opened her mouth again, “Your father’s crimes were not something that I slandered or framed. If he can do so many things, he should be mentally prepared to endure this day. You are the one who is the daughter, why haven’t you ever advised him?”
“… You’re right.” Zhao Lanlan spoke again, her tone ghostly, “My father may be to blame, but there’s no way I can forgive you for using my feelings to hurt them …”
“Utilize your feelings?” Xia Feiqing had already reached the doorway of 1505 and looked at her with downcast eyes, his eyes were deep and seemed to have all kinds of complicated emotions flowing through them, “Do you have feelings for me?”
A question that, in turn, directly stumped her. She opened her lips, but couldn’t say a single word.
Xia Feiqing smiled bitterly, “So how do I count as using your feelings? With me, the only thing you ever loved was Joey Xu. you think about divorce all the time, I am not unaware of that.”
Is Joey Xu the only one she loves?
If that’s true, then why was Joey Xu not sad when she married Sammy Jones? Instead, …
The pain in his heart was clearer after he knew he had been tricked by him.
