Yun Bixues complexion was pale, and her palms were all clammy.

She was very carefully going down the steps, but she did not expect a voice to call out from behind her.

She was deep in thought, so the sudden voice scared her and almost caused her to miss the step.

Yun Bixue clutched her chest, fear still lingering in her heart.

And it was as if the child in her stomach knew of her scare as it was kicking her with fervor.

She caressed her stomach gently and mumbled, Baby, Im sorry. Its okay. Everythings fine.

Under her gentle comfort, the child stopped kicking.

The Xie Wu now was about to compensate for this mistake with his life. He understood that if something really happened to Young Madam, he would take out his gun and shoot himself in the head right there and then.

No matter how calm and steady Xie Wu was on usual days, his complexion was visibly pale now.

Hearing the exclamation from Xie Wu, Xie Limos expression changed. He stood up immediately and walked out.

He let out a breath of relief when he saw that Yun Bixue was fine.

He walked over and pulled Yun Bixue towards him. Why are you awake? Werent you sleeping?

Yun Bixue turned her head towards him blankly. Her face was still deathly pale, and her teeth were still chattering. Limo.

Hearing his name, which carried a trace of weakness, together with her teary eyes immediately tugged Xie Limos deepest heartstrings.

Xie Limos expression softened. Xue! Whats the matter?

Yun Bixue wanted to pull Xie Limo close for a hug, but looking at her own tummy, she changed to simply grabbing his hand. Nothings the matter. Im just walking around. If you still have things to settle, you can continue, I will go back to sleep.

Xie Limo pulled Yun Bixues arm and stopped her from leaving. He turned and glared at Xie Wu who was standing there.

Feeling the rapid decrease of the temperature around him, Xie Wu gathered his courage and explained what happened.

Yun Bixue could feel Xie Limos hand tightening around hers after Xie Wu explained.

Xie Limo thundered, Xie Wu!

Going against the immense pressure coming from Young Master Xie, Xie Wu bowed down in his most respectful stance. Young Master Xie, its my mistake. Ill accept any punishment.

Yun Bixue recalled back in Ning An City that Xie Limo sent Xie Wu and Xie Liu back to the headquarters because he felt that they didnt protect her properly.

If Xie Limo sent Xie Wu back to the headquarters again, it was highly likely that Xie Wu would be buried there. That was something she did not wish to see.

For Yun Bixue, Xie Wu was incredibly talented. If he were to stay by Xie Limos side, he would definitely be able to protect him well and accomplish the tasks assigned to him.

Before Xie Limo could speak again, Yun Bixue removed her hand from his with a violent jerk and gripped back instead. Limo, Xie Wu saved me. It was not like how he described it. If you are angry, the person who you should be angry at is me. It was me who came out on my own and got distracted while I was walking.

Even after hearing Yun Bixues words, the cold air cloaking Xie Limo remained as intense as his gaze darkened further.

Sensing that, Yun Bixue continued to swing his hand. Limo, are you not going to listen to my opinions?

Xue, if you If Xie Limo caressed Yun Bixues head. He didnt dare to imagine. His heart felt suffocated just hearing Xie Wus description.

Even now, his heart couldnt calm down.

Im standing here, and Im fine, arent I?

Xie Limo remained unmoved.

Yun Bixue could only continue with gritted teeth, I heard something about Grandfather. Because you were hiding it from me, I almost missed my step. You cant blame others.
