Chapter 839: 839 Pampered to the Core (1)
Throughout the journey, Xiao Man leaned against Li Sinian’s chest without speaking.
She felt a bit dizzy and a headache was coming on, and cold sweat started to break out on her body, making her feel very cold.
Li Sinian reached out to touch her forehead and felt that it was sowhat hot.
He lowered his head to touch his forehead against hers.
It was hotter than his.
Lake saw everything from the rearview mirror and asked in Spanish, "Is Miss Xiao ill?"
"Pull over."
Lake then pulled the car over to the side of the road.
Xiao Man, with her eyes closed, slept in a daze, feeling unwell. She coughed and said, "I might have caught a chill last night, it’s not Lake’s fault."
She worried that others might be blad because of her condition.
"It was my negligence," Lake said apologetically.
"I’m fine... I just need to sleep it off at ho. Our old thod is to bury oneself in bed, keep warm, and let the heat sweat out. Then it will be alright," she lifted her head slightly and looked at him, "Have you resolved the issues over there?"
"Yes."
Li Sinian’s phone rang, and he told her to lean comfortably as he got out of the car to take the call.
"Why did Mr. Li co back so early? Shouldn’t the situation over there have been quite tricky?" Xiao Man asked Lake.
She thought he would be gone for at least a week.
"I don’t know," Lake answered truthfully, "I heard that he showed up, stabilized the overall situation, and then handed it over to Mr. Mi."
"It might be that he was worried about you, Miss Xiao," Lake wouldn’t venture any guess out loud, unsure as it was.
"I’m holding him back again, aren’t I?" Xiao Man thought for a mont and smiled.
"No, Miss Xiao."
"You must all hate , don’t you?"
"There’s no such thing, Miss Xiao. Please don’t speak lightly of such matters. If Mr. Li heard this, things would end badly for us."
Xiao Man laughed and said no more.
Yeah, they must inevitably harbor such thoughts; they just never voiced them.
Her arrival had once caused significant conflict within their organization.
A cause of trouble due to a woman’s involvent, it was enough to have her executed.
There were also a few loyalists who rejected her presence and tried to assassinate her several tis.
Even though Li Sinian had once issued a command against it, there were still many ready to sacrifice their lives just to take hers.
This situation only improved after a long while.
Because whenever sothing involved her occurred, he would prioritize her. Such incidents were not rare.
For a person like Li Sinian, a woman like Xiao Man shouldn’t be by his side because he couldn’t afford to have any weaknesses. Such weaknesses were fatal and could ruin everything.
The whole world knew that Li Sinian had a woman by his side that he doted on to the core. They sched to capture her, using her to blackmail Li Sinian, which made her extrely valuable.
But they were unaware of her real identity.
There had been many who had died in her stead, and Xiao Man was aware of this.
She once wanted to leave Li Sinian and end her current life, but he wouldn’t allow it. Because of her disobedience, he confined her in a castle, isolating her from the outside world completely.
Gradually, Xiao Man resigned herself to her fate. Entangled with Li Sinian in this life, she could neither escape nor break free.
Li Sinian had returned, now carrying a bag from a pharmacy, and he said to Lake, "Let’s go ho."
Xiao Man thought about it the whole way, until she fell asleep in his warm embrace, still unable to understand — the question she had been unable to understand for years —
Why did Li Sinian so stubbornly wish to have her?
