Xiao Shaojin regretted it.
He had originally thought that Fei Liuli would bring Ma Tianshu back unscathed, just like last time.
But when he saw her holding Ma Tianshu, bravely taking the bullets that were shot at them, he realized just how wrong he was.
After all, she had crawled to the enemy's feet without any clothes to protect her, and it was only natural that she wouldn't have time to fight back.
Or perhaps, from the very beginning, she never intended to fight; she was solely focused on protecting Ma Tianshu?
The blood that spurted out splattered onto Li Shuangqi's face, and he was taken aback by this sudden turn of events. He had anticipated some trouble, but he never imagined that this woman would protect Ma Tianshu with such reckless abandon.
In that moment of shock for Li Shuangqi, Xiao Shaojin and Xu Jincheng sprang into action like lightning. Xiao Shaojin rushed forward to grab her, while Xu Jincheng swiftly dealt with the enemy.
“Liuli, how are you? Don’t die, please… Brother Shao Jin, you have to save her, Brother Shao Jin!” Ma Tianshu cried out, knowing that everything happening was because of her…
“Liuli, I’ll take you back. Just hang on, don’t sleep, please don’t sleep.” Xiao Shaojin carefully picked up the battered Fei Liuli, ignoring both Ma Tianshu and Xu Jincheng as he hurriedly ran back, almost flying across the ground.
“Shao Jin, can I call you that just once? Shao Jin, before I die, can you lie to me and say you love me…”
The weight in his arms suddenly grew heavier, and Xiao Shaojin stopped. This man, who had always been unruly and defiant, was now in tears.
Six months later.
“Tian Shu, how many times have I told you? You have your own wild temper; don’t drag others into it. If you’re taking someone out, at least let me know,” the voice sounded familiar.
“Xiao Shaojin, I’ve told you many times as well. You love to throw tantrums for no reason. If you want to be fierce, take it out on your own servants; don’t vent on my people for no reason,” came the retort.
“Xu Jincheng, you come to my residence every day to eat and drink for free, and yet you dare to complain endlessly. If you have the guts, go out and fend for yourself,” Xiao Shaojin's anger flared up instantly. The servants of Xiao Mansion exchanged glances, fearing that another battle was about to erupt.
Fortunately, at that moment, a gentle voice intervened just in time to halt the impending conflict: “Shaojin, it was I who asked Tian Shu to take me out for a stroll. Staying at home for too long is quite boring.”
Xiao Shaojin, who had been furious just moments ago, immediately softened his demeanor. He rushed over like a child and gently embraced the delicate Fei Liuli. “Liuli, you’re not being obedient either. I’ve told you before that your injury hasn’t fully healed. Even if you go out, you should take me along. Tian Shu is as weak as a chicken; what if we run into some bad people and something happens? What am I supposed to do?” He was joking, but in the past six months, he had hired numerous traditional Chinese doctors and Western physicians just to pull her back from the brink of death. If anything were to happen now, not only would he be in trouble himself, but his father and adoptive father would definitely not let him off easily.
Ma Tianshu could no longer bear to watch and was covered in goosebumps. “Brother Shaojin, enough already! Her injury has healed long ago. Instead of wasting time here, why don’t you prepare for your wedding? Liuli was originally a gift from you to me; she hasn’t married yet, so she’s still mine! You have no say in this! And Jin Cheng is also mine; you’re not allowed to insult him!”
Xiao Shaojin was left speechless; he truly had no way to deal with this little girl named Tian Shu.
However, he quickly sensed a new crisis because Fei Liuli’s face had clouded over with unhappiness once more.
So he approached cautiously and asked, “What’s wrong? Is your wound still hurting?”
The person in his arms shook her head gently and asked softly, “You still can’t resist Tian Shu, can you?”
So she was jealous. Xiao Shaojin felt a sweet sensation in his heart and firmly replied, “Absolutely not! I only see her as a sister.”
“But when I go against your wishes, you scold me; when Tian Shu goes against you, you don’t say anything.” Xiao Shaojin raised his eyebrows in surprise. How had he never noticed before how adorable his little darling was?
"There's still..." Fei Liuli continued to pout, "You owe me something that you've forgotten all this time, but you never owe Tian Shu anything."
At that moment, an unusual aura gradually approached from the surroundings. Just as Fei Liuli was about to look up to check, Xiao Shaojin's lips gently pressed down on hers.
"I love you, it's not a lie!"
