Back in Jingdu, the first thing Xia Lei did was to return to Thunder Horse Military Factory and seal Princess Yongmei away. He did not dare to just casually let her out anymore after discovering that she could make people go mad and die. He then went with Shentu Tianyin to Boai Hospital to visit Fu Mingmei.
Fu Mingmei was out of the operating room but not yet awake from her anaesthetised sleep. Shentu Tianyin arranged for someone to take care of her, then left the hospital with Xia Lei.
“I think we should tell Mingmei’s father. He should know about this,” said Xia Lei to Shentu Tianyin as they exited the hospital.
“Tell him tomorrow. You don’t have to worry about this, I’ll take care of it,” said Shentu Tianyin.
Xia Lei sighed. “Lucky thing those people had no intention to kill her or she wouldn’t be on this Earth any longer. Be more careful from now on. Take more bodyguards with you when you go out.”
Shentu Tianyin took Xia Lei’s arm. “Nn, I’ll do as you say.” She abruptly remembered something. “Oh, right, I’ll give Gu Kewen a call. I wonder if she’s all right.”
“No need. Her phone is definitely switched off,” said Xia Lei.
“No way. I’ve told her that her phone has to be on, 24/7.” Shentu Tianyin did not believe it and took out her phone to call Gu Kewen. Xia Lei was right - Gu Kewen’s phone was off.
Shentu Tianyin was a smart woman and she seemed to realise something. “Gu Kewen, she…”
“She works for the CIA. She was undergoing CIA training during the time she’d gone quiet. She came back, to your side, to assist you in accumulating her old Gu clan assets to gain your trust. If she hadn’t acted as an internal contact this time, you wouldn’t have been kidnapped and Fu Mingmei wouldn’t have been injured.”
Shame flickered in Shentu Tianyin’s eyes and she was silent for a bit before she said, “You warned me early on that I should not trust Gu Kewen but I still trusted her. But it’s not because I didn’t trust your judgement, it’s because I thought I had the ability to control her. I didn’t expect that... “
Xia Lei gave her a smile. “Never mind that. No need to bring up what’s passed. Gu Kewen has probably fled the country, and the chances of you two meeting again is as good as nil. Plus, Ahn Suhyeong is involved too - you have to be very careful.”
Shentu Tianyin looked into Xia Lei’s eyes. “You’ll beat him up if he comes to harm me, right?”
“No,” said Xia Lei.
“Huh?” Shentu Tianyin looked surprised.
Xia Lei smiled right away. “I’ll flatten him before he hurts you.”
Shentu Tianyin hit Xia Lei lightly in coquettish anger.
Xia Lei caught her hand. “Tianyin, there are a lot of people after my life, and what’s in my brain. There will be a lot of unexpected dangers if you’re with me. It’s like this, so… are you still willing to be with me?”
Shentu Tianyin glared at Xia Lei. “You’re not allowed to say things like this. You are my fiance. You are the man who’s fated to be with me for the rest of our lives. Accepting your proposal means I’ve accepted all of you, and I don’t care what danger there will be - it will not separate us.”
Xia Lei was touched. “I…”
Shentu Tianyin suddenly kissed him on the lips, not letting him say more.
This kiss seemed to be the best answer. There was no need for words.
Quite a few people were standing and looking in the entrance of the hospital but they ceased to exist for Shentu Tianyin and Xia Lei. It had been over two years from their meeting to them getting engaged; their relationship had gone through twists and turns and they had suppressed their feelings all this time. Why would they care about about how the world saw them, when they finally had the chance to let their feelings show?
However, they were still in public after all and they fled from the hospital after their impulsiveness cooled.
Back in Shentu Tianyin’s Jingdu home, her father, Shentu Ren had already gone to bed. She had not planned on telling him about the kidnapping anyway so as not to worry him. This was good. There wouldn’t be troublesome explanations.
They went upstairs and Shentu Tianyin pulled Xia Lei’s hand. “Come to my room. I’ll treat your wounds.”
Xia Lei was a little embarrassed and a little nervous, but these feelings quickly disappeared. Shentu Tianyin and him were already fiance and fiancee, one level more intimate than he had been with Liang Siyao. What was there to be embarrassed and nervous about when going to her room to get his wounds tended to?
“I’ll get the first-aid box. Wait here,” said Shentu Tianyin after she led him into her room.
