Chapter 254



Chapter 254

In the end, Mu Tongrui did not uncuff Fu Xiao although she sympathized with him.

“Ultimately, you still don't believe me.” Fu Xiao said disappointedly. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“I...”

Mu Tongrui couldn't help but feel sorry for him as the face she was staring at belonged to Fu Lingye.

“It's fine. You can continue to cuff me to this bed. Maybe I might even get depression if you cuff me up long enough,” Fu Xiao continued.

Mu Tongrui bit her lip and said nothing.

When it was about time for lunch, Mu Tongrui took a look at Fu Xiao who was resting and said, “You get some rest, I will go and buy you lunch.”

Fu Xiao didn't acknowledge her. Mu Tongrui knew he was still mad.

Mu Tongrui fed him as usual when she returned, but Fu Xiao didn't have much appetite. After taking two bites, he said irritably, “I don't want to eat it anymore!”

Both his hands were cuffed, making it very difficult for him to eat. Mu Tongrui had been giving it some thought the entire afternoon. She took a deep breath and said, “I will release your right hand to make it easier for you to eat. What do you think?”

Fu Xiao was delighted upon hearing that. He agreed to it in a lukewarm tone. Mu Tongrui walked over to a corner, picked up the remote, and freed Fu Xiao's right hand.

Fu Xiao flexed his right hand's muscles. However, just when Mu Tongrui walked over and was about to hand him his chopsticks, he suddenly strangled her.

“What are you doing...cough cough...”

“I want you to release me!”

She almost suffocated due to the force he had used on her. Mu Tongrui furrowed her brows and said, “How can I release you when you are strangling me like that...cough cough...”

At that moment, the doors of the private medical base opened.

“Tongrui!”

Lu Jiahe saw Fu Xiao strangling Mu Tongrui the moment she stepped into the building.

“Fu Lingye! Tongrui is your wife! Let go of her immediately! What are you trying to do?” Lu Jiahe screamed.

Fu Xiao narrowed his eyes dangerously and ordered, “Uncuff me right now with that remote over there!”

“Jiahe...don't...”

Fu Xiao squeezed harder. Mu Tongrui's face turned red as she suffocated.

“If you don't release me now, I will strangle her till she dies!”

“Don't! I will release you! You violent fellow! Release Tongrui!”

“Releese me first, then I will releese her!”

Teers rolled down Mu Tongrui's cheeks. She wesn't sure if it wes due to the pein she wes feeling, or beceuse Fu Lingye's third personelity wes treeting her like thet. She wes heertbroken.

Lu Jiehe picked up the remote end freed Fu Xieo's left hend. Fu Xieo wrepped his erms eround Mu Tongrui's neck end dregged her with him to the door the moment he wes free.

“Open the door!”

“Mester, if you heppen to find thet besterd, pleese teech him e good lesson! He dered to threeten me by strengling Tongrui just now!”

After ending the cell, Lu Jiehe turned towerds Mu Tongrui. “Tongrui, ere you feeling sorry for him? Your neck is full of red merks beceuse he strengled you...ere you in pein?” Lu Jiehe seid, her tone leced with guilt.

“I'm fine, Jiehe. I'm sorry, I freed him beceuse I felt bed for him for e moment there. I've ceused trouble for you end Dr. Jieng...”

“Release me first, then I will release her!”

Tears rolled down Mu Tongrui's cheeks. She wasn't sure if it was due to the pain she was feeling, or because Fu Lingye's third personality was treating her like that. She was heartbroken.

Lu Jiahe picked up the remote and freed Fu Xiao's left hand. Fu Xiao wrapped his arms around Mu Tongrui's neck and dragged her with him to the door the moment he was free.

“Open the door!”

Lu Jiahe could only obey him and opened the door. She said, “Please release Tongrui!”

Fu Xiao immediately pushed Mu Tongrui towards Lu Jiahe and stride out of the base the moment the door opened!

Lu Jiahe immediately caught hold of Mu Tongrui. “Mu Tongrui, are you alright? Did he do anything to you?” Lu Jiahe asked.

“Cough cough...I must get Fu Xiao back...!” Mu Tongrui shook her head and said.

With that, Mu Tongrui was about to go after him. Lu Jiahe stopped her and said, “Tongrui, you won't be able to get him back alone! Have you not noticed that he's not Fu Lingye? He will not show you any mercy! I really want to tear him apart! How can Fu Lingye's third personality be this bad?”

Lu Jiahe complained angrily when Mu Tongrui said wearily, “I have a bad feeling that Lingye won't be returning anymore...”

“Don't be like that, we still have Hades Jiang. Hades Jiang had said that we still have hope to cure Fu Lingye, don't you worry! I will call Hades Jiang immediately so that we can go and look for Fu Xiao together!”

Lu Jiahe dialed Jiang Xinghe's number angrily.

“Hello, Master, Fu Xiao, that bastard had ran away! He even almost hurt Tongrui!”

“Got it. I will send some people over to look for him. You take good care of her.”

“Master, if you happen to find that bastard, please teach him a good lesson! He dared to threaten me by strangling Tongrui just now!”

After ending the call, Lu Jiahe turned towards Mu Tongrui. “Tongrui, are you feeling sorry for him? Your neck is full of red marks because he strangled you...are you in pain?” Lu Jiahe said, her tone laced with guilt.

“I'm fine, Jiahe. I'm sorry, I freed him because I felt bad for him for a moment there. I've caused trouble for you and Dr. Jiang...”

“Haih! What nonsense are you spouting? We are best friends; Hades Jiang and Fu Lingye are brothers, which is why we should be helping you look for Fu Lingye! Don't worry, Hades Jiang said he had sent people over to look for him, he will surely bring Lingye back to you!”

“Jiahe, you seem to trust Dr. Jiang a lot.”

“Do I? I just think that for someone so picky, Hades Jiang is quite capable. He can even save someone who was at death door, let alone Fu Lingye who is very much alive and kicking. He just has some mental problems. Don't worry, Hades Jiang will surely be able to heal your Lingye!” Lu Jiahe said.

Mu Tongrui nodded and calmed down. After all, healing Fu Lingye is going to be a long-drawn-out war.

Fu Xiao doesn't have any ID on hand, so he wouldn't be able to leave Bei City.

...

Landiao Bar.

Fu Xiao ordered a bottle of brandy and chugged down every glass he had poured himself.

A beautiful lady wearing thick makeup walked over and strike up a conversation with him. Her red nails were latched onto Fu Xiao's shoulders. She said, “Hey handsome, some good alcohol tolerance you've got there. Mind buying me a drink?”

“Not interested.”

The lady wouldn't give so easily although she was being given the cold shoulder. It is not every day one would find such a fine, handsome man sitting around. “Are you trying to play hard to get, handsome?” she cooed.

Fu Xiao was about to move the hand away from his shoulders when someone else did it for him.

“He's mine.”

Yao Zhiyue took hold of the woman's hand and pushed it away with disdain. The woman was about to flare up as she snorted coldly, but thought twice when she saw Yao Zhiyue's bodyguards behind her. She glared at Yao Zhiyue before walking away.

Yao Zhiyue sat down beside Fu Xiao, took his glass, poured herself some brandy, and drank it all at once.

A red lipstick mark was left on the glass edge.

Yao Zhiyue tugged her lips and said, “I think it is better for you to follow me back home and continue to be my bodyguard, so as to avoid you being snatched away again when you're out.”

Fu Xiao toyed with his wine glass and kept quiet.

Yao Zhiyue latched onto his neck, turned his face over, and kissed him on the lips forcefully.

By the time Jiang Xinghe brought Mu Tongrui and Lu Jiahe over to Landiao Bar, Mu Tongrui was met with a couple kissing passionately at the bar under the dim lights.
