Chapter 368: Mind Your Own Business
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
Lu Li’s face immediately turned cold. He stared at Huo Yun and said with a straight face, “Huo Yun, mind your own business!”
But Huo Yun didn’t think she was wrong. She said seriously, “We work for you at the risk of our lives, but that woman only brings danger to you. Have you forgotten how badly she hurt you last time? Will you just let her take away your life, Mr. Seven??”
“Huo Yun!” Before Lu Li had time to respond, the door of ward was opened. Qiao Liang stared coldly at the angry Huo Yun and said, “Keep quiet.”
“Mr. Qiao!” Huo Yun looked at Qiao Liang in disbelief. Although Qiao Liang looked cold, he never scolded them. Even when he was almost tortured to death by his love for Tang Xi, he was still gentle to them! But now he yelled at her, just because she spoke a little too loudly!
“Huo Yun, I said get the hell out of here if you are still going to speak so loudly!” Qiao Liang stared coldly at Huo Yun as he said, “Don’t make me repeat it again.”
Huo Yun pointed at the ward and looked at Qiao Liang, asking, “Who is she? Mr. Qiao, you almost died because of this woman! Why are you still protecting her?! She might be an undercover agent sent by the anti-terrorism force!”
“Huo Yun, she passed out because she saved us.” Lu Li stood up and looked straight at Huo Yun. “She is not an undercover agent.”
“Mr. Seven, why are you so sure about this?” Huo Yun refused to believe his words and coldly said, “Why did she just happen to pass out when the bullet was shot? Mr. Qiao was injured because of her!”

“Mr. Qiao, I remember you true love is Tang Xi, right? Only two or three months ago, you still had us to go to the Pacific to search for…”
“Get out!” Before she finished, Qiao Liang interrupted her. He looked coldly at Huo Yun and said expressionlessly, “Get out of my face if you don’t want to be punished by the organization! Otherwise, I’ll send you to our base in South Africa. We are not good enough to be your boss. Go find one who is suitable for you!”
Huo Yun froze and looked at Qiao Liang in disbelief before asking in astonishment, “What did you say, Mr. Qiao?”
“Huo Yun, stop it.” Feng Hua stepped forward and tugged on her arm, saying, “Since Both Mr. Qiao and Mr. Seven have already spoken, the young lady in the ward must be special to them!”
“She is my fiancée, Xiao Rou. Now do you know how you should treat her?” Qiao Liang looked coldly at Feng Hua, saying, “Do make sure to respect her, understood?”
Feng Hua was stunned. Was she that Miss Xiao who Little Five and Little Six mentioned? That legendary Miss Xiao.
Huo Yun turned ghastly pale when she heard Qiao Liang’s words. She had heard about Miss Xiao when she was in Australia. It’s said that Mr. Qiao fell in love with a girl who was from a rich family but was swapped with another girl when she was born. She just came back to her real family several months ago and Mr. Qiao met her in a sanatorium, but he fell for her at his first sight of her.
She didn’t believe it, but now it seemed that Mr. Qiao did fall in love with this woman, and he loved her even more than Tang Xi!

Huo Yun took a deep breath and calmed down. She then straightened up and said to Qiao Liang, “Mr. Qiao, I’m sorry I was wrong. I shouldn’t meddle in your affairs, nor should I be angry with you. It’s all my fault. Since Miss Xiao fell into a coma for saving you, let me take care of her. I’ll take good care of her. Please give me a chance.”
Qiao Liang frowned and looked at Huo Yun. Lu Li took a look at Qiao Liang and the latter coldly said, “No, I’ll take care of her. Prepare an airplane. We’re going back to Paris tonight.”
Huo Yun hurriedly nodded and left with Feng Hua.
Feng Hua looked at Huo Yun’s back, frowned and caught up with her, asking, “Huo Yun, are you really going to take care of that Miss Xiao?”
“Take care of her?” Huo Yun frowned, but then she raised her eyebrows and nodded as she said, “Yes, I’ll take very good care of this woman. Shouldn’t I do this? After all, she fell into a coma for saving Young Master, right? It’s my duty to take care of her.”
Feng Hua looked at Huo Yun’s back, and scowled. Why did she sound so strange?
Lu Li looked at the receding figures of them, turned around and said to Qiao Liang, “Let Huo Yun stay here. She seemed to be hostile to Xiao Rou. Although she may not harbor any evil intentions, she might hurt Xiao Rou.”
“Hurt Xiao Rou?” Qiao Liang’s eyes had a cold gleam and he said coldly, “How dare she!”
Lu Li sighed, patted his shoulder, stood up and walked into the ward. “How about Xiao Rou? When did the doctor say she will wake up?”
“They weren’t sure, but they said she was fine but just too tired.” Qiao Liang gazed deeply at Tang Xi, saying, “She will wake up after she gets enough rest.”
“Are we going back to Paris tonight?” Lu Li put his cell phone into his pocket and looked at Qiao Liang as he said, “I’ll have our men find us accommodation if we are.”
“We’re going back to Paris but you don’t have to find us accommodation.” Qiao Liang looked at Tang Xi lying on the sickbed. “Xixi has an apartment in Paris. Let’s go straight there. How about you? Are you going back to Country M? I think there must be some misunderstanding between you and Wen Ning. Why don’t you go to Country M and ask her? You don’t want to miss her once again, right?”
Lu Li took a deep gaze at Qiao Liang and looked away after quite a while, saying, “She will find me and explain it to me herself if she really wants to explain it to me. I don’t want to chase her anymore, it makes me feel so undignified. After all, we almost died this time.”
Qiao Liang hummed and said, “Don’t forget to deal with the aftermath. Throw the blame on the local gangs. After all, the local police has long wanted to get rid of the gangsters, but didn’t have a chance. They must be happy to have this chance, right?”
Lu Li smiled. “I’ve already had our men deal with it. They have finished it. Don’t worry about these matters. Take care of Xiao Rou. That’s the only thing you need to do now.”
Qiao Liang’s face darkened when he heard Lu Li mention Xiao Rou. Xiao Yao had told him once she fell into a coma, no one could wake her up, and the only thing he could do was to wait…

Terminal
My heart was shattered that day. It was on that day that I realized that life had an end, and that mine was coming. It was on that day that I realized that I was going to die. Leukemia, they told me. It's almost over. I didn't know what to do after that. I thought that maybe it would be best to die right then, get it over with. I thought that I could push myself away from all my friends, all my family, stop them from missing me after I was gone. I thought that I could handle it on my own, that perhaps the world was better off without me. I was wrong. So please help me, I'm dying. Save me, I'm falling. They tell me I won't survive. Please catch me, because if you don't, I'll shatter. I can't grab on anymore, I can't keep fighting. It's going to swallow me up. My name is Alyssa Gray, and by the time you finish reading this, I'll be dead. ________________________________ A few warnings and things to note: -I've put up the tramatising content tag due to a lot of mentions on death, dying, illness, and a mother who tends to be rather cruel. I know that I take a perspective that many will strongly disagree with, and I'm okay with that. Just be warned that this isn't lighthearted stuff. This is real, and death is real, and this part streaches beyond the fiction into reality. -I'm going to say a minor spoiler, but I don't want it to take you unaware because it is something to be aware of. At one point, my MC attempts suicide and fails. It's a very violent scene and I will put up the gore tag after writing this, and it's also just really depressing. If this will be triggering, you need to be aware of this before you read it. -This is a christian book. It may go against some of your beliefs. I hope that you can read and comment anyway even if some of it does not sit well with you. Credits for the cover go to the user 'Media in Sanity'. Your help and assitance has meant so much to me, God bless you in your writing and your endevours. A proud member of WriTE. I've promised to finish this fiction and update it at least once a month. My schedule is very irregular, and I'm working on that, but I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that this book stays out there. I'm not ending it until it's done.
