The Billionaire's Mischievous Sweetheart

Only now did Zi Yunsui realize the danger. Struggling to her feet, she saw that Ye Xiangxue’s head might have been injured, as faint trickles of blood flowed, but there was no time to worry about that. He gripped Zi Yunsui’s shoulder firmly, and the two of them dashed forward with all their might.

Having just run over a dozen meters...

"Boom—" A loud explosion. Behind them, a curtain of flames shot into the sky, red light rolling with waves of black smoke, igniting a blazing inferno reaching upwards, resembling a black mushroom cloud of death. The flames soared tens of meters high in an instant. The car was engulfed in flames immediately, surrounded by fire. If anyone were left in the vehicle, they’d be roasted like lamb.

...

Atop a nearby tower, two ghostly figures slowly appeared. They watched as the fire raged like a collapsing mountain, the indifference on their faces turning into smiles of satisfaction.

On one of the faces, still cold and handsome, the corner of his sexy lips curled into a cold smile. With one hand in the pocket of his four-piece trousers, he watched the car crash and explode... only slightly easing the hatred in his heart.

A year had passed; what kind of year had it been... this hatred never abated... only grew day by day. Only when he saw his enemies die in front of him could he truly be at ease. Only then would she love him wholeheartedly.

At this moment, another man approached him, flower-print shirt paired with cowboy boots, left ear adorned with a large earring, light blonde hair draping over cheeks, eyes of gold gleaming with a ghostly fire. His handsome face reflected a chill, looking rather defiant and wild... Upon seeing Qi Longbing’s expression, he pursed his lips thoughtfully.

"Ha ha, Qi Longbing, what’s the matter? Zi Yunsui is doomed this time! You can have your way." Wang Zian sneered, elegantly flipping his long hair over his shoulder.

"Hmph, my way?" Qi Longbing replied coldly, his handsome face looking incredibly cool, and followed with a cold voice, "I brought you here to reclaim what’s rightfully mine."

A deep smile crossed the angled eyebrows and bright eyes of Wang Zian. He certainly knew what the other was referring to.

"Very willing to serve our Young Master. You will certainly get what you wish for," Wang Zian complimented, nodding graciously.

The compliment seemed quite pleasing, as Qi Longbing allowed a faint smile of indifference. He turned his face away, eyeing this handsome man with disdain.

"How did you deal with that woman called Marilena?" Qi Longbing asked suddenly, remembering the woman named Marilena. Indeed, after linking up with Wang Zian, she hadn’t troubled him again.

Wang Zian was somewhat surprised, not expecting her to come to mind.

"How else to deal with her? Women are all the same, become part of the ’harem’," Wang Zian dismissed casually.

"Harem?" Qi Longbing couldn’t help but repeat, thinking of such a vicious woman, he’d still want her, damn it! Then, unable to stop himself from mocking, "Aren’t you afraid she’ll stab you in the back?"

"Heh, why should I be afraid? The more venomous, the more flavorful!" Wang Zian said evilly. Her batch sold well, earning us quite a fortune!" His golden eyes flashed wickedly.

Speaking of poison, Qi Longbing’s face clouded over, recalling certain things about her...

"After that batch, have you touched any poison?" Qi Longbing asked coldly.

Wang Zian understood exactly what he meant.

"NO..." Without hesitation, Wang Zian teased, "Ha ha, how could I defy you? Qi Longbing, you’re my god!"

Not unexpectedly, met with a sideways glance from Qi Longbing.

"Spare me the sweet-talk, do the job right and your reward is assured," Qi Longbing snapped irritably.

"OK. Heh heh..." Wang Zian chuckled, then looked at Qi Longbing, eyes shimmering with inscrutable brilliance, "Didn’t expect that kid Zi Yunsui to have a companion, seems like they call him Ye Xiangxue."

Upon hearing this, Qi Longbing snorted coldly.

"Better if they’re dead. Saves trouble of dealing with them one by one," Qi Longbing said coldly.

"Ha ha, my Young Master, since I’m here, I’ll surely see to your satisfaction. Just watch the show!" Wang Zian laughed evilly.

Qi Longbing did not respond, merely laughing coldly. Casting a couple of glances at the fire raging higher, the two then descended the tower one after the other.

...

The fire continued to spread.

Gradually coming to from the pain, Zi Yunsui sensed a flicker of alertness due to intense stimulation, slowly opening his eyes. The first thing he saw was the front enveloped in gray smoke, and half a person’s body still draping over his back. Alarmed, he turned his face.

"Ye Xiangxue, Ye Xiangxue—" Zi Yunsui shouted, now realizing that when the car exploded, Ye Xiangxue had protected him, using his body to shield from the explosive debris. At this point, his forehead was covered in blood... he was completely unconscious.

Zi Yunsui was terrified, immediately lifting Ye Xiangxue, struggling to his feet, stumbling up the grassy slope, waving down a passing vehicle on the road, and sped towards the hospital.

At the hospital, the emergency room lights shone brightly. Zi Yunsui and Ye Xiangxue were separately pushed into two operating rooms. A few hours passed before the light in Zi Yunsui’s room went out first; he had only a mild concussion, and his body was otherwise unscathed.

But Ye Xiangxue’s injuries proved more severe, several hours of surgery had yet to free him from danger.

This made Zi Yunsui exceptionally worried and anxious. If anything happened to Ye Xiangxue, how could he withstand such a blow... Over the years, how many times had he followed him, through life and death, without complaint, loyal and true, their ties surpassing family, friendship, even love. For him, he would sacrifice his life, but... fate denied him this chance, letting him be harmed for his sake...

No, Ye Xiangxue will be alright, he must be alright...

A few more hours passed, and finally, the lights in Ye Xiangxue’s operating room went out. As the gurney was rolled out, Zi Yunsui rushed forward, holding the bed.

"Ye Xiangxue... Ye Xiangxue..." Zi Yunsui called out bitterly, seeing his head bandaged, his face calm and peaceful, he felt a surge of emotion he couldn’t handle.

He truly could not lose him, nor bear such a blow.
