Chapter 545: Chapter 549 Half Shy, Half Sweet_1
"Your brother, Yang Gang?" asked Carn.
Yang Fei nodded.
There was a brief hesitation from Carn before he spoke, "But, doesn’t he have a fiancée?"
"Does having a fiancée an he can’t protect Xiaorou?" Yang Fei retorted.
"Um...well, there is that."
Gu Xiaorou bit her lip, saying nothing.
Old Wright glanced at Gu Xiaorou and smiled. "Xiaorou, you like the guy called Yang Gang, right?"
Gu Xiaorou stole a glance at Yang Fei, her face flushed. "Dad! There’s nothing like that. Gang, uh, Yang Gang, is my sister’s fiancé. How could I like him?"
Old Wright chuckled, "Your expression just now was the sa as your mother’s when she was young, hearing the na of the man she liked. A mixture of shyness and sweetness.."
"Ahh." Gu Xiaorou, a little flustered, replied.
She hesitated slightly before saying, "Well, I admit that I liked him once. But, I’ve decided to give up. I am not as great as my mom who endured pain and humiliation for the man she loved, with no complaints or regrets. I am just an ordinary woman with the ordinary womanly desire: to find my own Chosen One, to lead a happy and peaceful life. Yang Gang can’t provide
with all these. Being with him, I always worry about his infidelity, fear his unsteady nights, and resent being left alone in the cold and lonely house."
Old Wright sighed, "I see, I thought he was a good man, turns out he’s scum."
Unexpectedly, Gu Xiaorou got emotional. "Gang is not scum! Even though he’s sowhat flirtatious, he always shows up like a deus ex machina to protect
during my desperate monts. I feel so secure with him that it feels like it doesn’t matter even if the sky fell apart..."
Catching a glimpse of everyone looking at her curiously, Gu Xiaorou felt a bit embarrassed and stopped talking.
"So, Xiaorou, do you still like Yang Gang or not?" Carn asked suddenly.
"None of your business!" Gu Xiaorou glared.
Cough Cough!
Carn choked.
He glanced at Yang Fei and murmured to Gu Xiaorou, "Xiaorou, save
so face in front of Yang Fei, will you?"
"Hmph!"
Carn was sweating profusely.
Old Wright chuckled. "Xiaorou, when you have ti, ask that Yang Gang over here. I’d like to have a chat with him."
Gu Xiaorou blushed slightly. "What do you want to talk about with him?"
"You needn’t concern yourself. It’s man-to-man talk." Old Wright said calmly.
"Oh."
"Okay, Xiaorou, you can go back first. I have sothing to talk to your second brother about." Old Wright continued.
Gu Xiaorou glanced at Carn and nodded, "I got it."
Soon after, Gu Xiaorou and Yang Fei left together.
----
The villa on top of the hill.
Since he started treating Zhang Miao, about an hour had already passed.
Yang Gang began to show signs of fatigue, but only 1% of the progress bar turned green, 99% was still red.
"Indeed a difficult disease, only 1% was treated in an hour. To completely heal, it would require at least 100 hours! My previous estimate of 30 hours was a bit too optimistic. And maintaining the Healing Aura for rely an hour has already left
tired. Given my current spiritual power status, even at full power, I could only hold the Aura for about 3 hours at most. It seems that treating Sister Miao is going to be a long-term commitnt."
Zhang Miao suddenly spoke, "Gang, take a short break. You’re already sweating."
Yang Gang wiped his sweat and laughed, "After all, it’s the Internal Strength Healing thod, takes a bit of physical strength."
He paused for a mont before speaking again, "Although Sister Miao might not feel it, there’s already so improvent in the baby’s condition."
Zhang Miao chuckled, "Alright, good news."
Yang Gang knew that Zhang Miao didn’t believe him, so he didn’t bother to elaborate.
He pulled back the curtain of the massage room, where he could see the area around the villa.
A helicopter was currently flying towards the central area of Crow Feather Island.
A charming and wickedly handso man on board the helicopter looked down at Crow Feather Island with a blank expression. Suddenly, his eyes widened a bit, then an evil grin appeared on his face, "Found it!"
Then to the pilot’s astonishnt, he jumped from the helicopter, which was hundreds of feet up in the air, without any survival equipnt, such as a parachute.
"Hey, Elder Shenwei jumped down!" The helicopter pilot shouted to the back of the copter.
In addition to Xiao Shenwei, there were few bodyguards of his at the rear of the helicopter.
The driver, who was from the Xiao family, snapped back to reality, almost scared out of his wits. If anything happened to Shenwei, he would surely be held accountable.
"Don’t worry, just get us to our destination. Elder Shenwei knows where he’s going," replied one of the bodyguards.
The pilot was a bit taken aback, but ultimately, said nothing, and carried on piloting the helicopter away.
In a vacant lot in front of the hilltop villa, Shen Jing was sitting quietly on a stone bench, looking at the road going up the mountain. The expression on her face betrayed nothing, as if lost in thought.
Suddenly, a figure descended from the sky, startling Shen Jing.
Upon closer look, her face changed slightly.
"Shen Jing, what are you doing here?" Xiao Shenwei approached with a wicked grin.
Shen Jing, stepping back, replied, "Waiting for a friend."
"A friend? A guy?" Xiao Shenwei’s face darkened.
"None of your business," Shen Jing replied indifferently.
"None of my business? Shen Jing, have you forgotten who it was that rescued you from the sea?" Xiao Shenwei advanced.
"Isn’t it because you took
away without my consent that I fell into the sea?" Shen Jing paused, then continued, "Don’t you have so business on Crow Feather Island? Is chatting with
more important than your business?"
Xiao Shenwei smirked, "To , you’re more important than the Xiao family."
Shen Jing said nothing.
Pressing closer, Xiao Shenwei looked deep into Shen Jing’s eyes, "Shen Jing, be my woman," he commanded.
