Chapter 1752: Loving You, Killing Him

Upon hearing this result, Xie Wanyi did not have any excess emotion, merely giving a light "Oh."

But when Jiang Motian learned of this news, her reaction was very intense.

Comparing the two...

Jiang Motian dared to be certain that Xie Wanyi must have known her brother's decision in advance.

Moreover, there was a secret between them!

Thinking of this, Jiang Motian suddenly smiled.

Hearing the laughter, Xie Wanyi asked curiously, "What are you laughing at?"

"Hey, who could have imagined that two people who can't stand the sight of each other would actually have a shared secret."

Xie Wanyi did not deny it.

But he did not forget to emphasize to Jiang Motian, "Even with a secret, it doesn't change the fact that he can't stand the sight of me."

"You two, this is what you call 'loving and killing each other'."

"No, it's 'loving you, and killing him'."

Jiang Motian closed her eyes and smiled.

But she did not speak.

Seeing that the person in his arms had quieted down, Xie Wanyi leaned over to take a look.

It was only upon looking that he discovered... Jiang Motian had actually fallen asleep.

Was she truly asleep?

Xie Wanyi kissed Jiang Motian's alluring red lips.

Then he confirmed one thing: this woman was truly asleep, and sleeping very soundly at that.

This left Xie Wanyi feeling quite helpless.

He couldn't help but mutter, "Accompanying me to sleep, yet you fell asleep first."

Although he was complaining, Xie Wanyi's mood was relaxed as never before.

He turned his head to look at the woman beside him, and gradually, he drifted off to sleep as well.

These two people had originally fallen asleep in each other's arms.

But as they slept, Jiang Motian began to fidget, and she turned over.

She even pressed against Xie Wanyi's chest like a little kitten, finding a comfortable angle once more.

Xie Wanyi could feel the woman on his chest moving around.

He did not open his eyes, simply raising a hand to stroke the back of her head, waiting for her to fall soundly asleep again.

These two slept until the sun sank in the west, only to be woken up by a phone call.

The moment they woke, their eyes met.

And then... both were a bit flustered.

Jiang Motian hurriedly sat up and straightened her clothes.

Then she took out her phone.

Wei Yangyang, on the other end of the call, did not know she had disturbed someone's good dream.

She asked in a lazy tone, "Has the bad luck gone away?"

"Mm, everything is back to normal."

"Then why aren't you at the Art Studio?"

Jiang Motian was stunned and asked, "Did you come looking for me?"

"That's right, but I ended up getting the cold shoulder."

"I probably won't go over today; I'm at Wanyi's place."

With Jiang Motian's explanation, Wei Yangyang understood immediately.

She sighed, then said, "Your man is certainly capable of driving away all evil spirits. Alright, go on your date."

Wei Yangyang hung up the phone.

Her movements were very crisp.

And Jiang Motian, on this side of the call, quietly turned her head.

Xie Wanyi had already stood up.

After waking up, he was full of energy.

Discovering that Jiang Motian was peeking at him, he curled his lips and was about to speak.

As a result...

Rumble—

Jiang Motian's stomach let out a loud growl.

She immediately covered her stomach.

But this was no different from burying one's head in the sand.

Jiang Motian's face flushed with embarrassment.

Xie Wanyi then said with a smile, "Let's go, I'll take you to eat."

"I... am not very hungry either."

"I know, but I'm hungry, so keep me company and eat something."

Xie Wanyi spoke as if he were coaxing a child.

As for Jiang Motian, who was being coaxed... she decided she would eat a lot later.

The restaurant the two were going to was not far from here.

So they held hands and walked toward their destination.

But they hadn't walked for long before Jiang Motian stopped in her tracks.

She looked around.

"What's wrong?"

"I feel... like someone is watching me."

Perhaps because she works in the arts, Jiang Motian's senses are very sharp.

She might not be able to catch the person hiding in the shadows, but she can feel them.

Xie Wanyi did not look around; he simply patted Jiang Motian's head and said, "The bodyguards the Li Family arranged for you are still there, right?"

"They have already been withdrawn."

"Then I will arrange for some of my own people to be with you, so you can experience what it's like to be protected without leaving a trace."

Although Xie Wanyi's tone was relaxed, even somewhat joking.

Jiang Motian could not feel relaxed.

She unconsciously gripped Xie Wanyi's hand tighter and murmured, "Saying it like that makes me feel very uneasy!"

"Don't worry, it's just to prevent the West Hall Master's people from doing something desperate."

The reason Xie Wanyi gave was only part of it.

And the other part...

He kept it silently in his heart.

As for the West Hall Master mentioned by Xie Wanyi, he was currently in the Hospital.

When the accident happened, the West Hall Master was also in the car.

But he was luckier than Xu Nianxin and only suffered some superficial injuries.

However, because he attempted to abduct a suspect with evidence being conclusive, he had already been detained by the police.

Even though he was also in the Hospital recovering from his injuries, there were police following him.

Fortunately, he was able to visit Xu Nianxin.

After the surgery, Xu Nianxin had been in a coma.

The doctor said she would wake up in two days.

The West Hall Master's mood was very conflicted.

On one hand, he naturally hoped his daughter would wake up soon.

But on the other hand... he hoped his daughter would not wake up.

Because Xu Nianxin surely would not be able to accept the reality...

While he was struggling, a nurse brought the West Hall Master good news.

But following that, there was a series of screams!

That sound was like a hand, instantly gripping the West Hall Master's heart!

The West Hall Master dared not delay and stumbled toward Xu Nianxin's ward.

He saw that Xu Nianxin had already woken up.

She was sitting on the hospital bed, staring fixedly at her empty pant leg, while a piercing scream erupted from her throat!

The West Hall Master hurriedly called out, "Nianxin, Nianxin, calm down!"

Xu Nianxin seemed not to hear him and kept screaming.

The scream was shrill, making one feel panicked and at a loss.

The West Hall Master wanted to get closer.

But the medical staff hurriedly said, "Don't go over there, the patient is emotionally agitated right now, it's very easy to hurt someone!"

"It's precisely because she is agitated that I must comfort her!"

The West Hall Master did not listen to the advice and insisted on approaching.

And then...

Just as he was about to grab Xu Nianxin's arm, Xu Nianxin grabbed back, nearly scratching the West Hall Master's eyeball!

The medical staff hurriedly pulled the West Hall Master away.

At the same time, others restrained the frantic Xu Nianxin and injected a Zhentingji into her body.

Under the effect of the medication, Xu Nianxin slowly calmed down and fell back into a deep sleep.

The medical staff breathed a sigh of relief.

But the West Hall Master looked as if he had lost his soul.

His perfectly fine daughter, how did she become like this...

When Xu Nianxin woke up again, she didn't scream anymore.

But she stared blankly at the ceiling, looking like a mannequin.

"Nianxin, Nianxin? Look at your father!"

The West Hall Master kept calling out from the side.

But it had no effect at all.

Xu Nianxin didn't even acknowledge him.

She... seemed to have trapped herself in a small room, unwilling to come out again.

Reality was too cruel; Xu Nianxin would rather be a walking corpse!

But how could the West Hall Master bear to let Xu Nianxin be dull and foolish?

Sensing that something was wrong with his daughter, the West Hall Master said to the medical staff, "Please, can you find another doctor to take a look at my daughter?"

Li Beijue's expression darkened instantly; he stood up abruptly, strode to the window, and stared out into the pitch-black night, his voice as cold as ice: "Investigate! Find out exactly who is pulling the strings behind this!"
