Ding dong—

“Who is it!” a husky man’s voice rang above the noise from the mahjong table. “San Wan!”

Ding dong ding dong—

The doorbell kept ringing. The old door opened and a forty-year-old man appeared with an irritated face. “Who are you looking for?”

“Does Xiang Wan live here?”

The man waved his hand. “I don’t know who Xiang Wan is. Get out. Don’t disturb me from winning money. It is unlucky for me!”

The man went to close the door.

Ming Shu reached out and blocked the door. “Xiang Wan is your stepdaughter. If you don’t tell me where she is, I will call the police.”

Ming Shu pressed 110 on her phone.

The man looked agitated. However, he calmed down quickly. “How would I know where the little brat is? She never comes home and only knows how to play games. I don’t know where she is. She is not here.”

Ming Shu’s fingers moved.

The man saw that the phone screen changed.

“F**k!”

The man wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h Ming Shu’s cellphone. Ming Shu stepped back and dodged the man’s attack.

The man looked bulky, but he drank and gambled a lot, so his body was weak. He was not Ming Shu’s match at all.

Ming Shu and the man fought. The man asked for a.s.sistance from his friends, and the people playing mahjong came out to help. They were all taken down by Ming Shu.

…

Boom!

“Police, don’t move! Hold your hands up!”

Xiang Wan opened her eyes. The door in front of her was kicked open. Light shone in. Police rushed into the room.

Xiang Wan was helped up by someone.

She turned her head with much effort and looked toward the entrance.

There was someone standing within the light.

The air around her seemed to still. She was surrounded by a warm glow just like an angel who came from heaven.

“Master…”

She thought that no one would come and save her.

Xiang Wan was carried into the ambulance. Ming Shu held a packet of biscuits and followed behind. Just as she was about to get in the car, someone stopped her. “Miss Ji, although you called the police, you hurt someone. Can you please follow me back to the police station?”

Angel Ming Shu followed the police and got her statement taken.

The storyline mentioned that Xiang Wan was unable to play Asking G.o.ds during its closed beta stage due to some issues.

Xiang Wan’s family was quite wealthy, but her father suddenly went bankrupt and got sent to jail. Not long after that, he died due to cerebral sinovenous thrombosis.

Her family had to sell off their a.s.sets in order to repay the debt.

Xiang Wan’s mother had no choice but to remarry.

The person she married was the man just now.

At the start, the man treated them well and had a decent job.

However, half a year ago, the man got addicted to mahjong. He stopped going to work and even beat Xiang Wan’s mother frequently.

Xiang Wan stayed in school most of the time so her mother didn’t tell her about what happened. The money that Xiang Wan sent back was all taken by her stepfather.

A few days ago, her stepfather lured her home and used her to repay his debt.

This plot should happen toward the end of the story after the female protagonist and the male protagonist developed some feelings for each other. Hence, the male protagonist would save Xiang Wan and their relations.h.i.+p would get even better.

But, it happened earlier than its designated time.

Ming Shu asked Yellow Crane Returning West, who was working there, to get her out of the police station.

“Why are you at the police station?” Yellow Crane Returning West asked calmly.

“I beat a few sc.u.mbugs up.”

“Find someone else to do it next time.” Yellow Crane Returning West was very familiar in this field. “We have arrived.”

The car stopped outside the hospital.

“Thank you.”

Yellow Crane Returning West didn’t follow her. He asked his a.s.sistant to buy flowers and asked Ming Shu to bring it up.

Si Chen saw this scene.

He saw Ming Shu getting down from a man’s car and the man even gave her flowers.

She went to meet a pretty boy behind his back!

Si Chen opened the door and chased after Ming Shu.

“Mr. Si, why did you get out of the car?” a.s.sistant #1 b.u.mped into Si Chen. “I have already finished everything on my side. I apologize for delaying you. I will send you to your next destination immediately.”

“I am not going.” Si Chen pushed his a.s.sistant away.

a.s.sistant #1: ???

He just went to take the physical checkup report. Did Mr. Si get attacked again?

Shouldn’t he get the physical checkup report?

As Ming Shu entered the elevator, Si Chen rushed in like the wind.

Ming Shu raised her eyebrows. “Why are you here?”

Si Chen had a dark expression. He was unhappy. “Who gave you those flowers?”

Ming Shu looked down at the flowers she was carrying. She smiled. “Guess.”

Si Chen: “…”

Why would I want to guess!

Ding—

The elevator doors opened. There were many people standing outside the elevator. Si Chen was stopped from throwing the flowers on the ground.

Si Chen followed Ming Shu out of the elevator. He lowered his head as there were many people around and whispered, “Why are you at the hospital? Are you sick?”

“I’m fine.”

Si Chen felt that she looked fine too.

He was just worried.

“Whose car did you ride just now? Why did he give you flowers?”

“What does that have to do with you?”

“Ji He!” Si Chen raised his voice. The people around looked at him.

He pulled Ming Shu into the fire escape staircase. There was no one inside. He said sternly, “You are my wife. How can this have nothing to do with me!”

Ming Shu saw that he was really a little angry, so she replied, “Someone wants to give this to Xiang Wan, so I brought it up.”

“Who is Xiang Wan? A man or a woman? Why do you have to send the flowers? Why can’t the person send it himself? Does he like you?”

“… What are you thinking of everyday?”

Si Chen hugged Ming Shu. “I feel sad when I see you talking to other people and smiling at them. Wife… can you like only me?”

He wanted to hide this person.

He wanted to be the only person in her life.

However, he didn’t dare do it.

He would get beaten up.

He could only beg her.

Ming Shu took a while to reply. “Okay.”

Boom!

The door was kicked open just as Ming Shu answered him. Hence, Si Chen didn’t hear what she said.

The person outside came in. He looked at them, and then complained as he ran down the stairs, “Why are you kissing and hugging each other in the hospital? Why are you two so inconsiderate?”

Ming Shu looked away. She struggled out of Si Chen’s arms and walked out.

The flowers in her hand were crushed by Si Chen. The corners of Ming Shu’s mouth twitched. The little demon was so troublesome.

Si Chen pursed his lips as he looked at Ming Shu. She walked into the ward and talked to Xiang Wan. Her smile was gentle.

Si Chen was irritated. He wanted to kick something.

He turned around and vented his anger on the wall beside him.

A nurse walked past and looked at him with pity.

What happened to this handsome man? Why was he so angry? He looked so pitiful.

The patients here were able to be discharged soon though…

The nurse kept glancing at Si Chen secretly. She rarely saw someone so handsome. She needed to take a few more looks.

If Si Chen didn’t have a dark face and a cold aura around him, some bold ladies might have gone up and talked to him.

The door of the ward beside the man opened. The man suddenly quieted down and turned to look at the lady who came out.

The lady smiled gently. Her smile was enchanting.

She closed the door and grabbed the man’s arm. She lifted her head slightly and smiled at him.

The man’s anger dissipated.

A spotlight seemed to be s.h.i.+ning on them.
