There was a thunderstorm and the meeting lasted for 5 hours resulting in no solution . . .

*Zhi Hei's flashback POV*

Sigh, such disgusting and icky weather, the company is also facing such problem . The driver can't get to me for another half an hour, I might as well go grab my car . It's only rain anyways, I'll have ginger tea ready when I get home . A man looks s.e.xiest when they're wet anyways however that saying goes, not like I care about how other people look at me . I wish I can see her . . s.h.i.+ Xue, I wonder what you're doing right now . . . after that party, we met by coincidence for a few times . Even though it were dinner celebrations with others present, those carrots and potatoes could be ignored . . you always took my attention wherever we are anyways . .

How great would it be if you suddenly appear in front of me . . .

Advertis.e.m.e.nt"Zhi hei!!" "Zhi Hei!!" yes . . . it is her voice . . . maybe I'm missing her too much that I even hear her calling out my name . . . but what are the chances of her being here . .

"HUANG ZHI HEI!" huh? . . . . I looked towards the opposite side of the street . . a girl with a wine red top and black skirt was waving at me with the warmest smile and voice . It was s.h.i.+ Xue . . . . .

The clumsy girl almost tripped into a puddle as she hopped towards me . Like all the other times, her black flowy hair was still smooth and slightly curled, eyes smiled when she smiled at me, and skin as snow like . Her slightly blus.h.i.+ng face is so adorable as she panted from hopping across the street . Ahh she never fails to catch my attention .

"Where's your umbrella??" She asked in a caring yet strict tone .

"Don't have one . "

. . . "It's raining to heavily! You'll get sick!!! Quickly!! Get under my umbrella!! I'll walk you to your car" she tiptoed trying to cover me with her umbrella . My day isn't as bad as I thought it would be . . . heh . .

I took the umbrella out of her hands and used my other hand to hold onto her shoulders so rain wouldn't get to her . She reacted with a blush as she hurriedly walked me to my car worrying about my health . Just as we turned the corner of the block, an a.s.sa.s.sin started to aim towards our direction . My first instinct is to wrap my arms around this pet.i.te body and protect her with my body . Surprisingly, she learned fast and held onto me as I dodged and managed to take down the a.s.sa.s.sin . After observing the area and seeing that it is safe, I loosened my grip around her waist and made sure that she was alright .

As my attention focused on her, I let my guard down . . the a.s.sa.s.sin was faking his unconsciousness . He attacked me from behind using a knife . Luckily, I moved away and only my arm was cut .

As I fought with the a.s.sa.s.sin, s.h.i.+ Xue was scared and I could see her trembling where I left her . I tried to end things earlier and comfort her and ensure her safety . Just when I was about to end the a.s.sa.s.sin one last time in this fight . . I heard her shout "NOO!! ZHI HEI!!!"

*BANG* (Gunshot)

The next second, i was on the ground recalling what just happened . I only heard her scream to be careful . . . and a . . . GUN SHOT . . .

Odd . . i don't feel any pain anywhere . . .

"A . . . are you okay . . zhi Hei?" I heard s.h.i.+ Xue and replied "Ye . . . . . "

My eyes widened and breathing became irregular . I saw a large amount of blood slowly flowing out on the floor mixing with the rain on the ground . The ground dyed red . The a.s.sa.s.sin was long gone probably thought they shot me . I held onto her body examining her, where she got shot . "That's great" She gently smiled as she slowly lost consciousness .

First time in my life I regretted jinxing anything happening . I wished I never saw her and never accompanied me to the car . I wished I had went back to grab an umbrella or waited patiently for my driver or brought bodyguards . . .

I quickly dialed for the hospital and Chen mu to be ready to take in a patient . I carried her into my car and pressed onto her bleeding wound hoping to stop her bleeding . I tried to keep calm and contacted Shen Qi to get here within the next minutes .

My legs were losing strength and I dont know how much time past from here, to the hospital till her surgery was done . . . . I just knew the moment she came out and I was told that her surgery was a success . . . I was so relieved . It was as if someone had picked up my shattered heart and fixed it .

That's when I found out how important this girl was to me . . my heart felt like it would die if anything happened to her and the thought of her being gone made me feel agonizing pain .

I sat by her side for a while, before bringing her back to my mansion to take care of her myself . . .
