Xie Xuning didn't stop Qie Yiyan. He knew he couldn't remain calm.

In the past few years, Qie Yiyan had been blaming himself for failing to protect Xie Xingqing.

​​

To fulfill his dream of building an elite force, he retired from the army and went to the National Defense Military Academy.

Now, the "X" he was looking for turned out to be someone around him.

He never thought that Xie Xingqing had been pretending to be in a vegetative state this whole time.

Then how did she feel every time he visited her?

Qie Yiyan came to another room with Xie Xingqing in his arms. After setting Xie Xingqing away, he looked at Xie Xingqing condescendingly.

Her face was still frozen in a blank expression.

"Xingqing, I don't know what else I should say to you now."

Xie Xingqing's face was impassive. The only part of her body she could move was her eyes!

Her eyes were begging him, "Yiyan, go get me the antidote. I feel uncomfortable. Yiyan, help me."

After a moment of silence, Qie Yiyan said, "You stay here quietly and think about it. My thoughts are rather chaotic now, so I'm afraid that I'll end up hurting you. I'll also go out quietly."

After he finished speaking, Qie Yiyan walked out of the room.

He closed the door along the way.

So much happened tonight; he hoped they were all just an illusion.

"Little Uncle, I will stay here to watch her. You should go back first. Tianxin is probably also frightened by what happened last night."

Xie Xuning put his hand on Qi Yiyan's shoulder and he whispered, "Yiyan, she isn't the one for you. You will meet someone better in the future."

Qie Yiyan laughed to himself. Who would like someone with how he looked?

Even Xie Xingqing can keep up a lie for so long. How can he trust other women?

"Little Uncle, in this world, not everyone is as lucky as you. My aunt must have truly loved you."

People faced both good and bad fortune. Xie Xuning felt several mixed emotions.

"Then I will leave her to you for now. I don't want to see her face."

Qie Yiyan nodded and said solemnly, "I understand, Little Uncle. Don't worry, I won't let her go."

Xie Xuning gave Qie Yiyan a deep look. Now, he believed that Qie Yiyan wouldn't be tricked into doing something illegal for no good reason. He believed in him.

Qie Yiyan personally sent Xie Xuning away, then turned around and returned to the room.

Xie Xingqing was alone in the room. She laid on the bed, unable to move her limbs.

She heard Xie Xuning's voice clearly while he was chatting with Qie Yiyan. His voice was so clear and magnetic.

She wanted to open her mouth to speak, but she couldn't say a word.

It felt as if her entire body stopped working, except for her eyes and brain; she couldn't move at all. The world around her seemed to be turning gray.

'Yiyan, don't you love me? Don't do this to me. Yiyan, help me.'

There was pleading in Xie Xingqing's eyes.

Qie Yiyan pretended not to see her silently pleading for his help and instead looked at Xie Xingqing quietly and condescendingly.

Xie Xingqing had shattered his heart into pieces. He never expected her to be that kind of woman.

"Xingqing, we have known each other since you came to the Xie family's house when you were 13 years old..."
