Xi Lin Yan’s trembling voice whispered in my ear: “You foolish woman, it’s really you! You’re not dead, you’re actually not dead, that’s wonderful, so wonderful!” For a moment, I wondered if I was seeing things. Was this still the Xi Lin Yan I knew?
He suddenly seemed to think of something and abruptly pushed me away: “Since you’re not dead, why didn’t you send someone to notify me? Do you know how hard we’ve been searching for you these past months!”
I lowered my head timidly, “Sorry, I… I forgot!”
He glared at me and angrily said, “What did you say? Damn it, you actually say you forgot?”
Seeing everyone’s gaze focusing in this direction, I instinctively covered his mouth and pointed to a nearby empty table, “Speak softly, don’t disturb my customers. Go sit over there, and I’ll explain everything later, okay?”
He firmly held my hand, stubbornly saying, “No, I want you to leave with me right now!”
“Leave? Where?” I momentarily forgot to struggle, looking at him in confusion.
He looked grim-faced and said coldly, “Of course, we’ll first meet up with Xiao’er and then return to Zi Yi Fortress!”
I hurriedly asked, “Where’s Xiao’er? And Wuying and Wuming, why didn’t they come with you?”
“Xiao’er is sick.”
Recently, she’s been heartbroken and exhausted because of your matter, and after traveling back and forth, she fell ill as soon as we arrived and is now resting at the inn. As for Wuying and Wuming, I’ve assigned them tasks to handle!
My heart jumped to my throat, and I gripped his sleeve tightly, “Sick? Has a doctor been called? How serious is it?”
He stared at me and suddenly softened his tone, “If you truly care about her, come with me now!”
I gave him a troubled look and said, “No way! Can’t you see I have so many guests to attend to? It’s the first day of our opening, I really can’t leave!”
“Guests?” He narrowed his eyes and frowned in confusion, “These are all guests of Yu Huang Lou, what does that have to do with you?”
