Chapter 735: Chapter 735: Rong Yan, what on earth do you want to do!
A pair of black and white eyes, as if hiding stars, looked at him, “Li Shengxiao, I know you are worried about me, but I am an adult, and I want to handle this matter myself, can I?”
Li Shengxiao lowered his gaze to her still pale, melon-seed face, his eyebrows knitting together as if he could trap a fly in between.
Oh!
Rong Yan then tiptoed again and stole another peck on his thin lips, “I promise I won’t let myself get hurt; I’ll definitely resolve this issue completely this time.”
She bit her lower lip, her bright eyes well-masked, but they were filled with a sense of bleak confusion, “I want to put an end to the twenty years I’ve erred in by my own hands, is that okay?”
Li Shengxiao saw the fleeting sorrow and bewilderment in the depths of her eyes, his heart clenched suddenly. His grip on her hand tightened a bit, and with a touch of his thin lips, he said in a deep voice, “You’re not allowed to get hurt!”
Rong Yan’s heart loosened, and she immediately showed a smile, “I know.”
Li Shengxiao looked at her forced smile, really wanting to say it was terribly ugly. His hold on her arm tightened a little more, “Also, you’re not allowed to feel sad!”
Rong Yan, “…”
Hmmm… not getting hurt she could manage, but not feeling sad was asking too much. Who could control their own emotions?
But Li Shengxiao’s gaze was intense, clearly not planning to let go until she could do so. Rong Yan took a deep breath and nodded solemnly, “Okay!”
She didn’t like to make promises lightly, but once she did, she would go through with them, no matter what it took.
Li Shengxiao knew her character and slowly released his hand, his thin lips forming a straight line as he said, “I’ll be outside. Call me anytime if there’s anything, and I’ll come in immediately!”
Rong Yan didn’t think Rong Weiwei and Jiang Meiqi would dare to do anything to her with so many people watching, but hearing his words, her heart was still full to the brim, wishing she could peck his lips again, “Mhm.”
Li Shengxiao finally turned his head, scanning the two women beside the bed with a warning look, indifferently saying to a resigned Cui Jiangjing, “Let’s go.”
“So soon?” Cui Jiangjing wanted to stay and see how Rong Yan was going to handle the matter, but since Li Shengxiao was leaving, it wouldn’t be proper for him to stay. He followed Li Shengxiao out, and while walking, he said the same thing, “Rong Yan, I’m right outside. Remember to call us if anything comes up; don’t force yourself.”
He was just showing concern as a friend, but still, Rong Yan felt a touch of warmth, “I know.”
The two men left, closing the door of the ward behind them.
With a ‘click’, the door of the ward was shut, leaving only Rong Yan, Rong Weiwei, and Jiang Meiqi in the room.
The door was not fully closed yet, and while Li Shengxiao and the others were still inside, Jiang Meiqi was either raging or deliberately controlling herself.
As soon as they left, her face suddenly darkened, and she wasted no time in starting a confrontation, “Rong Yan, what the hell do you think you’re doing! Are you trying to kill me? I begged you to spare a thought for my feelings, to not be hard on Weiwei. Look what you’ve done. Have you lost all sense of what it means to be a sister? Just because of a misunderstanding, you want to ruin your own sister. To the point of getting someone… to do that to Weiwei…”
She couldn’t bring herself to say someone had destroyed Rong Weiwei, continuing with an ashen face, “Mufeng broke up with your sister and was ruined by you to the point where he couldn’t enter public service anymore and had to live in exile abroad for years. Are you satisfied now, happy?”
