The knocking continued.

Yan Xuxu felt weak and powerless all over, and had no mind to think about it:

It takes at least forty minutes to drive from the research institute to Yushui Bay.

Lin Huan didn't have the key to her front door, so she couldn't get in at all.

She got out of bed and, holding onto the wall, went downstairs.

She struggled to descend the twenty-odd steps, feeling as if she were climbing down a mountain several thousand meters high.

When I got downstairs, I was not only covered in a cold sweat, but my legs were also trembling.

She stood at the bottom of the stairs for a long time before finally dragging her limp body to open the door.

"Huanhuan..."

She opened her mouth to speak, but the newcomer's enormous shadow suddenly loomed over her.

Before she could react, a pair of strong hands encircled her waist.

Her body was suspended in the air when she was lifted up horizontally.

A familiar yet mature masculine aura surged in.

She realized something was wrong and struggled in his arms.

"Don't be afraid, it's me."

The voice coming from above was deep and magnetic, like a bucket of cold water that suddenly woke her up.

She looked up.

Seeing the man's handsome face, she was stunned for a moment, "How come it's you?"

A light drizzle started outside sometime earlier.

Xie Lanyuan did not use an umbrella, and the raindrops left a layer of white mist on his hair.

The top two buttons of his black shirt were undone, revealing his strong and healthy tanned chest muscles.

You can still vaguely see the marks from when she scratched me last time.

His sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, covered in dust, and he looked rather disheveled.

He held her with one arm and wrapped the other around her chest.

He bound her entire body tightly to his chest.

He stood at the doorway, his tall and imposing figure blocking out the light. His jawline was taut, and his shadow cast on her resembled a towering, imposing mountain.

"How did you get in?"

Yan Xuxu remembered that the door was locked when she came back.

Xie Lanyuan did not answer, but carried her upstairs to the room.

The woman in his arms was soft and fragrant, yet so thin she weighed almost nothing.

He could carry her with one arm without feeling any strain.

He soon arrived at the master bedroom door.

Yan Xuxu reached out and pushed him, "Jie Lanyuan, I'm asking you a question."

"Someone like you can still come out and open the door?" His voice was cold, carrying an unreadable emotion.

Yan Xuxu was both surprised and incredulous.

and so.

Did he... climb over the wall to get in?

She laughed in anger, "This is my home! You're trespassing!"

"Did you take your medicine?"

Jie Lanyuan ignored her question and put her on the bed.

Her voice on the phone was so weak, and she kept vomiting; it was difficult for her to even go downstairs, let alone open the door.

A wall couldn't stop him, but the villa door was locked.

If he hadn't been without a key, he really would have liked to just break in.

Yan Xuxu got out of bed, pointed to the door and said, "Get out, I don't need you to tell me what to do."

"You still expect Shen Mingzhou to come and take care of you?"

Xie Lanyuan pressed down on her shoulders, his voice cold and indifferent, "Or are you still planning to hide here alone and suffer through a few days of illness?"

He knows how to hurt people.

After saying that, he chuckled mockingly, "Without you by his side, he can bring his mistress home without any restraint. He has no time to care about your life or death!"

He didn't use much force, but it hurt her bones when he pressed on them.

No matter how hard Yan Xuxu tried, she couldn't push him away.

Finally, exhausted and panting heavily, with tears welling in his eyes, he said, "You did this on purpose, you deliberately came to see me make a fool of myself, didn't you?"

The dizziness that had just subsided returned with a vengeance.

Cold sweat seeped down her back, soaking her clothes.

Xie Lanyuan's gaze darkened, and he quickly laid her flat on the bed. "I'll find a doctor to come and take a look at you."

"Get away!"

She reached out and pushed him.

Xie Lanyuan grabbed her wrist, his voice tinged with impatience, "Don't move around if you're not feeling well."

Yan Xuxu is a doctor herself, so she knows her body's condition very well.

"I don't need your pretense, get out."

She struggled to say even a single word, and then she was panting heavily.

Jie Lanyuan ignored her and took out his phone to call Mu Nan.

Yan Xuxu closed her eyes.

His scent filled my nostrils, each breath so domineering and aggressive.

This made her feel even worse.

She resembled a small animal whose territory had been invaded, raising her defensive armor. "I'll be fine soon if you leave. Please don't bother me."

Xie Lanyuan was angered by her tone.

Along the way, he made Mu Nan run several red lights.

Worried that it was raining outside and she wasn't feeling well, so she couldn't come out to open the door, he did something like climbing over the wall for the first time.

As a result, she resisted his approach and told him to get lost.

Jie Lanyuan really wanted to cut open her heart.

Let's see what kind of bewitching potion Shen Mingzhou has given her.

Why could she give up their years-long relationship and choose to be with Shen Mingzhou?

Even though Shen Mingzhou has cheated on her, she can still unconditionally forgive him.

Instead, they became hostile towards him.

I just wish I could stab him until he was covered in wounds.

But seeing her so frail, he lost his temper again. "You rest well. I'll be right outside. Call me anytime if you need anything."

Lin Huan told him that she had been at the research institute for the past few days.

I can only sleep a few hours a day.

The research on the new technology has been successful.

It is currently in the peer review stage.

She was under too much pressure, and her body was exhausted from overwork.

At this time, what she needs most is plenty of rest.

He stood up, turned around, and walked out of the room.

Yan Xuxu couldn't get rid of him, so she could only let him go.

She also believed that a busy person like him wouldn't stay long; once a task came up, he would leave soon.

She forced herself to fall asleep again.

Only after she has rested enough can her body recover its strength, and only then can she get up and write the report.

We should publish this research as soon as possible so that we can perform surgery on Xie Siyu immediately.

Soon, sleepiness came over her, and she drifted off to sleep again.

Downstairs, Xie Lanyuan leaned against the stairwell, smoking, his eyes scanning the surroundings.

He had been here before.

It was Grandpa Shen who brought him here.

Grandpa Shen and Yan Xuxu's maternal grandfather were old friends and comrades-in-arms. They had a close relationship and frequent interactions.

Therefore, he is very familiar with the environment here.

Twenty years have passed since I last visited, and the place remains exactly the same, with no changes to the layout or furniture.

Unexpectedly, Shen Mingzhou bought the house back and gave it to Yan Xuxu.

After finishing his cigarette, Jie Lanyuan stubbed it out in the ashtray and got up to go to the kitchen.

Her vomiting was largely due to low blood sugar.

You need to eat something at this time.

But there was nothing in the refrigerator.

He searched all the cabinets but couldn't find a single thing to eat.

It seems she hasn't cooked a single meal since moving in.

Just as I was about to ask Mu Nan to bring some ingredients over, Mu Nan called.

"Mr. Xie, the doctor has arrived."

Xie Lanyuan closed the refrigerator door and said calmly, "Bring her in."
