As Diablos looked at Rong Xinghe chatting with Xi Yuan in such a tender tone , anger surged through him and he rushed towards the girl , intending to snatch her phone away from her. But Rong Xinghe was holding onto the phone tightly and wasn't expecting the man to make such a sudden move. As a result , the girl tried to dodge the man's hand and hit her head against the iron pillar next to her.

"Damn !", the girl groaned in pain.

Diablos retrieved his hand as he saw blood flowing down from the girl's head while Xi Yuan felt an unknown fear crept into his mind and heart. For him to sense his woman's pain , he didn't needed to stay physically by her side. He could just feel it.

"Xinghe..."

"I... I am fine.", the girl comforted her man after sometime of silence ,"Don't worry. I will come by myself. You leave first."

"You are injured , aren't you ?", the man obviously knew why she was asking him to leave earlier than her ,"Just come outside. We will be going to the hospital together."

"Okay.", the girl nodded her head obediently. Could she even hide anything from this man ?

But the moment the girl disconnected the call , Diablos grabbed the girl's wrist and looked at her earnestly ,"You should be careful ! Let my doctor treat you."

Rong Xinghe was obviously not going to appreciate such a forceful behaviour. So she twisted the man's hand around before she whispered in his ears ,"Don't you dare touch me like that again ! I have someone waiting for me out there."

"What is the relation between Xi Yuan and you ?", the man asked irritatedly.

"None of your business !"

The girl then released the man's hand and ordered her men to carry out the three unconscious soldiers before she turned around to leave the base.

"Hope we meet again , Military Chief.", smiled Diablos , as he looked at the woman leaving the place.

Rong Xinghe rolled her eyes as she left the place after mumbling a simple sentence ,"I hope not !"

The moment the girl left the torture room , Nifhel glanced at the man beside him with a blank expression. He surely had a great taste in women. Of all the beauties in this world , he fell for someone as unachievable as Rong Xinghe. After all , only this woman had the guts to look straight into the eyes of the leader of the Werewolf Crew , without any hint of fright or uncertainty. Such a woman could either make or break the entire underworld. If not handled with care , caution and respect , this woman was bound to bring destruction upon all of them. Yet , this man was smiling like an idiot...

Diablos walked straight towards his table and opened one of its drawers before he took out an old shabby folder. Inside it , were two photographs. The man cleaned the dusty folder with a tissue from outside as a smirk appeared across his lips ,"You will come to me soon , Xinghe. I just know it."

9:00 p.m. , Elite Diamond Penthouse :

"Yuan ! Can you just talk to me ?", the girl hugged the man from behind as he stood up from the dining table and was about to leave the place.

Since the couple had returned from the hospital , they didn't had time to talk things out with each other. Although they both had a lot to discuss , they were occupied by their work initially , and then , their fear of hurting each other. In the end , the couple didn't talked about anything but the girl's head injury , for the entire day.

However , it was impossible for them to stay like that for a long time. Healthy conversations had always been the key to their strong chemistry. Both the man and the woman never bottled up their feelings , when facing each other. According to them , hiding feelings in a relationship was the most toxic mistake couples made.

It was just that Xi Yuan was too sensitive , whenever any discussion involved his girl's feelings. Naturally , Rong Xinghe knew that he would never take the initiative.

"Okay. Just listen. Let me just speak my heart out.", the girl requested.

After few seconds of silence , Xi Yuan took a deep breath and dragged the girl into her bedroom ,"Say whatever you want while I apply ointment to your wound."

The girl sat down on the bed amenably as the man started opening her bandage slowly and carefully.

"I am sorry.", said the girl after sometime ," I should have not yelled at you like that earlier today. That was very mean of me. No one deserves to be treated like that. I knew that you were concerned about me and that you wanted to help me out. It was just that I couldn't let you do that , Yuan. No matter how much you love me , I can't use your influence and strength for my personal benefit. I know I was wrong to raise my voice at you and I apologize to you for that. But please don't help me like this again.

"The six most influential men of this nation are my brothers , Mr. Xi. Couldn't they help me back then when I was pushed down that running train ? But what they did instead was that they empowered , encouraged and supported me. That's what I want from you too. Your love , trust and support is all that I am asking for. I know you understand me more than anyone and I am really silly to tell you all of this but..."

At this time , the man hugged the girl tightly and kissed her forehead gently ,"Hush !"

"No need to explain yourself , Xinghe. I understand your point and I am sorry I made you feel uncomfortable today. Its not that I don't trust your planning or combat skills. You are the smartest woman I know , Xinghe. I just..."

"You just what , Yuan ?", the girl asked worriedly.

"I was scared that I might lose you...", the man confessed honestly , revealing his vulnerable side to his Xinghe.
