Without any hesitation, she immediately went back to her cell phone and called Qi Shaodong. Fortunately, she had Qi Shaodong’s number.

  “You didn’t say ……” Bai se replied innocently.

  “How long has Xi Xia been in there?” Lin Yiqian asked Bai se as she waited for Qi Shaodong to pick up the call.

  “It should have been more than half an hour. However, that assistant was sent away just now. I don’t think your love rival has done anything to your husband yet.” Bai se replied.

  F * ck!

  Lin Yiqian’s palms began to sweat as Qi Shaodong still had not picked up the call.

  He dialed again.

  If she still didn’t pick it up, she could only force her way through.

  If Gu nianshen asked Xi Xia to stay in his room and do something to her while he was still conscious, Lin Yiqian would accept it.

  However, she would not let Xi Xia have her way while he was unconscious.

  “The lady boss?”


  When Lin Yiqian heard Qi Shaodong’s voice on the other end of the phone, she almost cried tears of joy.”Why can’t I get through to Gu nianshen?”


  “Boss drank too much. He’s asleep,” Qi Shaodong said.

  He sounded a little guilty.

  Lin Yiqian then realized that it must be because Xi Xia was in Gu nianshen’s room.

  Gu nianshen had drunk too much. If Xi Xia insisted on staying in the room to take care of him, Qi Shaodong would not be able to force her to leave.

  “I suddenly miss him a lot. Can you go to my room and video call me now?” Lin Yiqian immediately suggested.

  She walked into the bedroom and lay down on the bed.

  The hotel’s covers were all white, so there was no need to worry about anything being seen.

  “Okay, lady boss, wait for me. I’ll be right there. Miss Xi is in boss’s room and he’s drunk, so I can’t force her to leave.”


  Qi Shaodong suddenly sounded agitated.

  He felt like he had finally seen hope.

  Just as she had expected, Xi Xia had forced Qi Shaodong to stay. Therefore, Qi Shaodong was still a reliable person.

  She wanted to pull him over and make him one of her people, to’ secretly ‘work for her.

  “Hurry up,” he said.

  Before the call ended, Lin Yiqian could already hear Qi Shaodong panting from the other end of the line.

  She couldn’t help but urge him.

  ……


  The man’s eyes were closed, and his breathing was even.

  His chest heaved up and down evenly.

  All the main lights in the room were turned off, leaving only two warm lights on. The dim light made the man’s facial features look more three-dimensional, and his eyelashes cast a shadow.

  His two lips of appropriate thickness were gently pursed.

  His handsome face looked as if it had been carved out by the gods.

  Xi Xia held the man’s hand as she stared at his face without blinking.

  “Nianshen.”


  She opened her mouth and gently called out to the man who could not possibly respond to her.

  It was only at this moment that she could look at him up close. She curved her lips, and her smile was as gentle as her eyes.

  “I love you. The person you love should be me.”


  Tears started to well up in her eyes. After she finished speaking, she reached out to the man’s face and her thumb gently rubbed his slightly furrowed brows. She smiled again.”Are you still feeling uncomfortable?”


  The only response she got was silence.

  Her fingers slid down slowly, across the man’s high nose bridge, and landed on his lips.

  Then, she gently caressed his lips.”Why have you never said that you like me all these years?”


  She had been waiting all this time. However, all she got was the news that he liked Lin Yiqian.

  She was the Lin Yiqian who had always liked to get between them. No matter what she and nianshen were doing, she would always interrupt them.
