"Wan Ruo?" This word immediately reminded Si Hongxi that Qin Manman might have sneaked out to find Wan Ruo on her own. He subconsciously gave Wei Qingshan a cold look.
Wei Qingshan quickly withdrew her calculating look from her eyes and looked at Si Hongxi with an innocent expression.
After Si Hongxi left, there was a hint of darkness in Wei Qingshan's eyes.
She didn't know when it started, but her once happy and harmonious family had now become so unfortunate.
She was the daughter of the powerful prime minister's mansion in the current dynasty. Everyone envied her status and position. She was beautiful, talented, a gentle and kind young lady from a prominent family. She was simply a born winner!
But now the man she loved didn't love her back, and her once happy family was now on the verge of collapse.
The seeds of darkness began to slowly germinate in Wei Qingshan's heart.
At this time, Si Hongxi quickly led his men to Shan'an Fang.
At this moment, Yun Jiu was taking care of Wan Ruo and the others in the backyard. When Yun Yi saw Si Hongxi coming menacingly, he quickly stepped forward to stop him.
"What do you want?"
"Get out of the way! The government is handling a case. Step back quickly!" a subordinate beside Si Hongxi said.
When Yun Yi heard such arrogance, he thought it was quite a coincidence. He liked to confront people head - on the most!
"Sorry, what case? This is a restaurant, not a courtroom! We don't serve you!" Yun Yi said impatiently.
How could Yun Yi not recognize Si Hongxi? The great Prince Pingnan always came here for no reason. He just didn't like the sight of him!
"You..." The subordinate was so angry that he wanted to step forward to argue, but Si Hongxi stopped him.
"I'm looking for Miss Ruo Ruo!" Si Hongxi frowned and said politely.
"She's not here!" Yun Yi replied perfunctorily.
"You..."
This subordinate really couldn't stand it anymore. How dare someone talk to their prince like this? The last person who talked to their prince like this already had grass growing tall on his grave!
Si Hongxi stopped his subordinate with his hand and said seriously to Yun Yi, "I have something very important to talk to Miss Ruo Ruo about. Please go and inform her! Or if she's not here, could you please tell me where she's gone?"
"She's not here. I don't know! Please leave!"
The subordinate really couldn't hold back anymore. He stepped forward and grabbed Yun Yi's collar, threatening, "Do you know who you're talking to? Watch your head!"
Just as it seemed that a fight was about to break out.
The servant of Shan'an Fang saw this and quickly sneaked into the backyard to find Yun Jiu.
"Miss Yun Jiu, go and have a look quickly. Yun Yi is about to fight with that prince!"
What? Yun Jiu frowned. What a troublesome guy!
"You help me keep an eye on things here! I'll go and have a look!"
When Yun Jiu came out, she saw Yun Yi in conflict with them. The surrounding guests were all watching.
"Brother!"
When Yun Yi heard Yun Jiu's voice, he immediately calmed down.
"Your Highness, why are you here?"
"Miss Jiu, I'm here to find Ruo Ruo!"
Hearing that Si Hongxi was looking for Miss Wan Ruo, Yun Jiu's face changed a bit. She hesitated and whispered, "Please come with me!"
"You all wait at the door. Don't cause any trouble!" Si Hongxi ordered.
"Yes!"
Then Si Hongxi followed Yun Jiu. Yun Jiu gave Yun Yi a fierce look.
Yun Yi was a bit sulky. Looking at the people watching upstairs and downstairs, he shouted dissatisfiedly, "What are you looking at? There's nothing to see!"
Yun Jiu led Si Hongxi to Wan Ruo's residence in the backyard. Then he saw two people lying on the ground beside the bed.
Getting closer, he found that they were actually Qin Manman and a strange man.
There were also two people on the bed, Wan Ruo and Bai Chen.
Seeing this scene, Si Hongxi was quite surprised.
"What's wrong with them?"
Yun Jiu shook her head, indicating that she wasn't very clear either.
Si Hongxi immediately stepped forward to check if Wan Ruo was okay. He found that her chest was full of bloodstains and her face was pale. He was so scared that he was speechless for a moment, "She, she can't be dead, right?"
At this time, Chi Yan, who was lying on the ground, had already woken up. He opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling. Realizing that he was back in the world of the living, he saw that the souls of Bai Chen and Wan Ruo had also returned. Then he calmly closed his eyes again.
He was so tired. The human constitution was really weak! Oh well, he'd take a nap!
Just as Si Hongxi put his hand under Wan Ruo's nose to check her breath, he turned pale with fright!
"She, she really has no breath!" he said almost choking with sobs.
Tears immediately welled up in his eyes. Ruo Ruo, why did you leave like this?
Then he cried and went to check Bai Chen's breath, thinking that both of them couldn't be dead, could they?
Sure enough, after checking, Bai Chen also had no breath.
He slumped down on the bed, crying bitterly. Could these two have committed suicide for love?
What he didn't know was that Bai Chen's soul beside him was looking at him coldly with a look of disgust on his face!
Wan Ruo was very touched to see Si Hongxi shedding sad tears for her. In this world, he was probably the only one who was truly kind to her, like a family member!
Just then, Si Hongxi noticed that the wound on Wan Ruo's chest was emitting a dazzling blue light. The wound was healing at an accelerated speed.
The souls of Wan Ruo and Bai Chen returned to their respective bodies.
Just as Si Hongxi was about to reach out to check the wound on Wan Ruo's chest.
Suddenly, Bai Chen seemed to come back to life. He grabbed Si Hongxi's wrist and stopped him.
This action scared Si Hongxi out of his wits!
"Zombies! Zombies!" Si Hongxi immediately shook off Bai Chen's hand and stepped back shouting.
At this time, Yun Jiu saw Bai Chen wake up and said happily, "Sir Bai Chen, you're awake?"
"Ah! I just fell asleep. I'm a bit tired!" Bai Chen said indifferently.
Fell asleep?
Si Hongxi, who was standing beside, didn't believe it at all. Who fell asleep and stopped breathing? It was so terrifying! He must be a lingering ghost!
Si Hongxi was still in a state of shock. At this time, Wan Ruo also woke up. She touched the wound on her chest and found that it had really completely healed.
She fixed her eyes on Si Hongxi and smiled at him.
This scene was so scary that Si Hongxi couldn't believe his eyes.
But seeing Wan Ruo wake up, he still tentatively came in front of her.
"Are you a human or a ghost?" he asked tentatively.
Wan Ruo looked at his silly look and couldn't help laughing. She pulled his hand and said, "What do you think?"
Seeing that Wan Ruo was really alive, Si Hongxi was both excited and overjoyed. He stepped forward and was about to hug Wan Ruo, but was stopped coldly by Bai Chen beside him.
Seeing Bai Chen's jealous look, Si Hongxi immediately became timid and looked at Wan Ruo aggrievedly.
Seeing his bullied look, Wan Ruo pulled him into her arms.
The feeling of surviving a calamity made her cherish the people who were kind to her around her even more.
"Thank you, Brother Hongxi!" Wan Ruo said gratefully in his ear.
What did you just call me? He couldn't believe his ears.
It was the first time he heard Wan Ruo call him brother. Si Hongxi thought he was having an auditory hallucination.
Si Hongxi felt like he was about to be lost in this feeling. It seemed that even though the person he loved had rejected him, it might not be a bad idea to stay by her side and protect her in a different identity!
His mood had really experienced great ups and downs, from sadness to excitement to being touched. Without a strong heart, one really couldn't bear such rapid changes!
Looking at Si Hongxi's proud look, Bai Chen beside him was probably about to be extremely jealous.
Bai Chen's inner thought: Humph! Considering that you were sad for me for a while just now, I'll let you show off for a while!
Cough! Cough! The time was up. Bai Chen coughed twice, indicating that he could let go.
Si Hongxi's face turned red. "By the way! What exactly happened here?"
