Xin'er was unaware of this. Upon hearing the man's words and seeing the desperate look in his eyes, her gaze flickered for a moment before she slowly leaned closer to him, encouraged by Leng Yixuan's anticipation.
She then opened her arms and gently embraced him.
This was the first time Xin'er had taken such an initiative to hug Leng Yixuan, and for that, he was overjoyed.
In an instant, the pain that had plagued him seemed to vanish completely.
Feeling the warmth and fragrance of the person in his arms, it was as if he held a freshly bloomed Magnolia—beautiful and pure.
Leng Yixuan's heart skipped a beat, and he gently stroked the little head resting against his chest, as if petting a beloved little creature.
The tenderness from the man made Xin'er feel sweet inside, but more than that, she felt deeply moved.
At that moment, holding onto him and feeling his warmth made everything feel so real.
However, as soon as she recalled the dream she had just experienced, a wave of fear washed over her.
Her heart tightened, and her eyes grew warm as tears quickly welled up in her eyes.
The crystalline tears swirled in her eyes, making her look particularly pitiful.
Seeing this, Leng Yixuan furrowed his brow in concern and asked, "Xin'er, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
With that thought in mind, Leng Yixuan attempted to get up from the bed to call for help.
However, in doing so, he inadvertently pulled at his wounds.
Though he had regained consciousness, he had sustained injuries not only to his forehead but also suffered burns on various parts of his body during the fire.
At that moment, a piercing pain shot through Leng Yixuan, causing his brows to furrow deeply, and his handsome face turned pale in an instant.
Though he gritted his teeth and endured, the beads of sweat sliding down his face betrayed his suffering.
Seeing this, Xin'er was horrified.
Her delicate little face drained of color as she anxiously tried to stop the man from moving, exclaiming, "Xuan, you need to lie down! You're still injured! Don't move around!"
Upon hearing Xin'er's words, Leng Yixuan obediently lay back down.
However, his long hand slowly reached up to caress Xiner's soft cheeks, catching the tears that had just fallen from her eyes. He spoke with concern, "Xin'er, why are you crying?"
His voice was deep and hoarse, laced with undeniable worry and care.
At his words, Xin'er felt a lump in her throat and could no longer hold back; she burst into tears.
Her cries seemed to release all the grievances and fears she had bottled up inside. "Xuan, I'm so scared! Really scared! I thought I was going to burn to death; I thought I would never see you again! But you came! Why is it that whenever I'm in danger, you always show up? I'm so happy you're here, but it makes me so sad because you got hurt so badly protecting me. Do you know that? You rushed in through such a huge fire; you could have died! Don't you fear death at all?!"
Xin'er cried out passionately, feeling both touched and worried for the man before her.
After all, this man was the one who treated her the best in the world. Seeing him injured hurt her even more than it hurt him!
If it were possible, she would rather die herself than let this man do anything foolish for her sake.
Compared to the pitiful crying, Xin'er was utterly moved.
After hearing Xin'er's words, Leng Yixuan merely curled the corner of his mouth and smiled.
"Fool, for you, I would climb a mountain of knives or plunge into a sea of fire."
A light remark, yet it carried an abundance of emotion.
The simple word "fool" was laced with endless affection.
At this moment, Xin'er felt deeply the feelings this man had for her.
Unwavering until death!
Thinking of this, Xin'er was gradually enveloped by a wave of emotion.
Her tear-filled eyes gazed at the man without blinking.
However, she did not realize how alluring she appeared at that moment!
Like a freshly bloomed lotus flower, delicate and enchanting, making one’s heart flutter uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Leng Yixuan couldn't help but feel his heart race, his Adams Apple rolling.
Then, with his Red Lips slightly parted, he spoke.
"Fool, if you keep looking at me like that, I'm going to kiss you!"
Leng Yixuan said this only half-jokingly.
However, what he did not expect was that after he finished speaking, the girl in front of him first froze for a moment, and then, unexpectedly, she quickly leaned in.
Her soft pink lips swiftly and precisely covered his Red Lips...
Although it was just a fleeting kiss, it left Leng Yixuan completely stunned, as if struck by thunder.
After all, this gentle kiss was Xin'er's very first proactive kiss.
Though it merely brushed against his lips, the thrilling sensation spread endlessly within his heart.
It felt as if someone had suddenly thrown a massive stone into the calm lake of his heart, creating ripples upon ripples...
Leng Yixuan was shaken inside; his dark eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Xin'er, utterly speechless.
Xin'er felt embarrassed under his gaze.
Her delicate Little Face was now flushed bright red.
At that moment, Xin'er’s heart raced wildly, still in shock from what had just happened.
Oh my!
When did she become so bold!?
She actually kissed Xuan!?
Oh my, how embarrassing!
Xin'er felt shy and flustered, her Little Face nearly dropping to her chest.
Until a raspy male voice reached her ears—
“Xin'er…”
“Don't speak! I—I’ll go check if your medicine is ready!”
Xin'er hurriedly replied, and then she seemed to flee as if someone were chasing her from behind. Her words trailed off.
Watching Xin'er escape, blushing and flustered, Leng Yixuan came back to his senses, and a broad smile spread across his face. Suddenly, a hearty laugh burst forth from his lips—
“Hahaha…”
Xin'er kissed him! Hahaha…
“Master, you’re finally awake!? That’s wonderful!”
Hearing the laughter from the room, Lu Fu rushed in, only to find his master in high spirits.
Seeing this, Lu Fu was momentarily taken aback, scratching his head in confusion.
However, he didn’t dwell on it for long; after all, as long as his master was awake, that was what mattered.
With that thought, a smile crept onto Lu Fu's face as well.
The heavy weight he had been carrying finally lifted.
Yet, the once-laughing Leng Yixuan gradually withdrew his smile upon seeing Lu Fu enter. It was as if he remembered something; his expression quickly darkened, and a cold, violent glint flickered in his deep black eyes.
He looked like a Shura emerging from the depths of hell, radiating an aura of hostility that chilled the air around him.
Upon seeing this, Lu Fu couldn't help but shiver. After years of being by his master's side, he understood his temperament all too well.
At this moment, the expression on his master's face was enough to prove that he was extremely angry, and the consequences would be severe!
Just as Lu Fu was lost in thought, the man's voice suddenly rang out—
"Have we found out who set the fire?!"
The man's tone was icy cold, like a chilling wind sweeping in from the depths of winter, sending shivers down one's spine.
Hearing this, Lu Fu lowered his head and respectfully replied to the man.
"Master, we have found out it was Cui Tiancheng! Boss Cui!"
Though Lu Fu was merely a servant, he was no fool to have worked alongside Leng Yixuan.
In these three days, Lu Fu had managed to uncover the ins and outs of the fire incident.
The reason was simple: it was a struggle in the business world.
Boss Cui had failed and, unable to accept it, resorted to arson as an outlet for his frustration.
However, what he didn't realize was that he had provoked someone he shouldn't have.
Lu Fu thought to himself and concluded that this time, his master would not easily forgive Cui Tiancheng.
After all, this incident involved the person his master cared about the most...
Sure enough—
"Ha ha, Cui Tiancheng!? Well done!"
The man spoke with a disdainful snort, then continued.
"Ping An!"
At the sound of his command, Ping An quickly entered from outside.
"Master, here!"
Seeing his master awake brought a hint of relief to Ping An's cold face.
Then, he heard Leng Yixuan issue an order.
"Send the word down. I don't want to see Cui Family Trading Company in ten days at the latest!"
"Yes!"
Without a moment's hesitation, Ping An responded affirmatively. After all, with his master's capabilities, whatever was said was always accomplished!
It seemed that in ten days, the Cui Family Trading Company would be permanently removed from the business world...
As Ping An contemplated this, he immediately turned and left upon receiving the command.
After Ping An departed, Leng Yixuan felt fatigued and let out a soft sigh.
Beside him, Lu Fu noticed and immediately expressed his concern.
"Master, if you're tired, you should take your medicine and rest!"
"No, I'm fine."
Upon hearing Lu Fu's words, Leng Yixuan simply waved his hand lightly.
However, at that moment, a clear voice suddenly rang out from outside the door—
"Xuan, the medicine is ready."
With that crisp voice, the previously sullen expression on Leng Yixuan's handsome face froze for a moment. In the next instant, the cold glint in his deep black eyes softened immediately.
As a result, the temperature in the surrounding area seemed to rise significantly.
Noticing this change, Lu Fu couldn't help but be slightly taken aback, and then he lowered his head and chuckled to himself.
It seemed that the saying "Even heroes find it hard to resist the charms of beautiful women" was indeed true!
Even though his master was decisive and shrewd in business dealings, he would become different when faced with beauty.
His tenderness would only be revealed in the presence of a lovely woman…
