38 Chapter 152: Marry me for real

Yi Fei opened her eyes slowly.

The place was all white and bright, and she was all alone. The bright light hurts her eyes, so she closed them back again.

But wait? While wall? The room she was kept captive has thin plywood as a wall so why is it white? The room only has a small opening that could work as a window so why is the place so bright?

While closing her eyes, Yi Fei counted until ten before she reopened her eyes again. She was in a place where everything was so neat and tidy. This is a nightmare. She's in a hospital bed. The kidnapper will operate on her, took out her organs and sold it over into the dark market.

Or…She could be dead, and this is how heaven looks like – all white and bright like how it was portrayed in television. Yi Fei couldn't die; she doesn't want to die yet. She is not married yet. There were a lot of things she wanted to do with Wu Chen and her parents; what will happen to her parents?

YI Fei closed her eyes again, hoping that everything will be gone once she reopened her eyes back.

This time, Yi Fei counted up until thirty before opening her eyes. When she opened her eyes, she was still in the same place. Frustrated that she was still inside the bright site, Yi Fei let out a loud sigh. Yi Fei wanted to pat her face to pull herself together, but instead of soft skin, a coarse fabric touched her face instead.

"What now? I'm dead, and I am also a mummy?" Yi Fei tried to fumble herself, to check if she was a mummy. Suddenly, the closed door opened.

"You're not dead, and you're not a mummy." Yi Fei looked up to see NaNa leaned on the door. "If Brother Chen heard you mentioned death one more time, he will be mad."

NaNa's lips quivered like she was trying her best to control herself from crying, but her emotion betrayed her. She ran towards Yi Fei and hugged her while crying. "Yi Fei, I'm sorry. If only I can drive, I'll pursue the van. I am so useless."

"It's not your fault. I told them about your real identity, it was part of my fault too" Yi Fei tried to calm NaNa, but NaNa cried even louder while muttering some incoherent things.

The cry was so loud that it could be heard outside. When Wu Chen heard that someone was crying in Yi Fei's room, he got panic and dashed inside the room. The tears swell in the corner of Wu Chen's eyes when he saw that Yi Fei was awake.

He sauntered towards Yi Fei. At this moment, he thanked God with all his heart and soul for giving him the chance to be with Yi Fei once again. When NaNa saw that her brother came inside the room, she let go of Yi Fei and headed outside so that her brother could be with Yi Fei.

"Chen Chen, I'm okay. I got turned into a mummy, but I'm okay" Yi Fei smiled excitedly as she showed her bandaged hand towards Wu Chen. Wu Chen went over to Yi Fei and hugged her while avoiding the bandaged hands of Yi Fei. He knew that Yi Fei was not okay. Hell, nobody should be okay after going through such a thing, but the little idiot kept on thinking about how not to make other people worry about her.

Wu Chen didn't speak; he kept on hugging Yi Fei until he was sure that Yi Fei was with him, and then only he let her go. "What happened to you?" Wu Chen finally dared to ask what happened to Yi Fei. "If you don't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it. You should rest well."

Wu Chen helped Yi Fei to fix the blanket, and he was about to go out, but Yi Fei caught his hand by using both of her mummy hands since she couldn't grab his hand.

"Ow!Ow! Ow! It hurts…" Yi Fei let go of Wu Chen's hand and blew on her hands. With eyes so pitiful, she asked with a quiet voice, almost like a desperate whisper: "Stay with me."

Wu Chen nodded his head and went over beside Yi Fei's bed and sat on the stool.

"I don't remember much. When I opened my eyes, I was inside a small room, and the new employees told me that they were going to ask ransom from NaNa since she is my best friend. Both my hands and legs were tied. And they covered my mouth with duct tape" Yi Fei closed her eyes, trying so hard to remember the details.

"Whoever tied me must be in Scout at school. The knot is top notch! Bravo! It was so tight, and it was hard for me to loosen the knot. I keep on twisting the rope until my hands and legs were injured. The pain was so great that I passed out. And when I open my house, I am here" Yi Fei opened her eyes slowly.

"Are you the one who saves me? How? What happened to Auntie Yu and Auntie Zhang?" Yi Fei turned her head to face Wu Chen.

"Don't worry about them. They'll get what they deserved. Now, rest well" Wu Chen didn't want to burden Yi Fei with what happened to the criminals. He wanted her to rest, get well and to come back to him with a smile on her face.

"I thought that I won't be able to see you ever again. Auntie Zhang said that she'd make my death quick after she received the money. At that moment, there were a lot of things popped out in my mind. I was so scared…" Yi Fei started tearing up. "Don't leave me."

Wu Chen stood up and kissed Yi Fei's forehead. "Sleep well; I am going to be here when you open your eyes. I promise"

Yi Fei nodded her head and slowly sunken into sleep.

Rapid footstep could be heard from the corridor. Wu Chen walked to close the ajar door when he saw Yi Fei's parents came towards him. Wu Chen went out of the door to greet the elder.

"Auntie, Uncle. Fei Fei has just fallen asleep. It would be better for her to rest now."

Yi Fei's parents peeked through the slightly ajar door and saw that Yi Fei was asleep. So they retreated and sat on the bench outside Yi Fei's room.

"What happen actually? When NaNa called us and told us in tears that Yi Fei was kidnapped, we rushed here. We get on the earliest flight we could this morning" Yi Fei's mother looked at Wu Chen. Both of the parents were shocked when they received a call from NaNa last night.

"Auntie, Uncle…" NaNa came from behind them with Jun Liu beside her. "It's my entire fault. If I tailed the van then it shouldn't be…" before NaNa finished her sentence, she cried again. By now, her eyes were swollen from all the crying. She had been crying non-stop since Yi Fei got taken away.

Jun Liu patted NaNa's head, and NaNa cried in Jun Liu's embrace. Jun Liu didn't say anything; he hugged the crying NaNa and caressed her head.

Yi Fei's parents turned their attention to Wu Chen again; they wanted an explanation. Wu Chen told the parents what had happened from the beginning until Yi Fei was saved and sent to the hospital.

Wu Chen braced himself for the anger from Yi Fei's parents, but strangely, they sighed in relief. Yi Fei's father was the first one to speak.

"Ah Chen, thank you very much for saving our daughter. It's not your fault. You did a good thing by catching a rapist and sending him to prison. About what happened to Yi Fei… nobody expects that this kind of thing will happen to her. Don't blame yourself" Yi Fei's father patted Wu Chen's shoulder.

Yi Fei's mother walked towards NaNa and patted her shoulder. "Don't cry anymore. It was not your fault. Don't blame yourself. Yi Fei is okay now. I'm sure she won't blame you."

NaNa cried even louder and let go of Jun Liu. Then, she hugged Yi Fei's mother. Yi Fei's mother kept on patting her shoulder until NaNa stopped crying.

When NaNa was calm enough, she let go of Yi Fei's mother and held her hand. "Thank you, auntie. From now on, I'll learn how to drive. My boyfriend will teach me how to drive." NaNa turned her head towards Jun Liu's direction. "Right, Ah Jun?"

Jun Liu doesn't really like trivial things like teaching because he was not good at it. But since NaNa had been crying non-stop since last night, he doesn't have the heart to reject her. Jun Liu nodded slowly as a sign of agreement to NaNa.

Since she had been crying non-stop, all of her makeup was smudged, and her hair was messy. Jun Liu offered to send her home, so NaNa went back.

Wu Chen looked at the retreating back of his cousin and then slowly turned his head to look at the sleeping beauty inside the room.

"Auntie, Uncle… I have something to ask from both of you" Wu Chen looked at the parents in front of him and the sleeping Yi Fei alternately. She inhaled a deep breath to calm himself.

"Let me take care of Yi Fei from now on. I know I failed to take care of her this time, but I promise you that I'll keep her safe and love her, only her, from the bottom of my heart, for the rest of my life. So please, let me take care of her" Wu Chen bowed down to Yi Fei's parents.

Yi Fei's father asked Wu Chen to straighten his back. He tapped Wu Chen's shoulder. "Please take care of our daughter."

Other footsteps came towards them. Wu Chen saw that his parents came as well. He never expects that his parents will come as well. NaNa must have called them but do they have to come?

"Where is my daughter-in-law, Chen? Is she okay? How come you let such a thing happened to her?" No hello, no greeting and his mother came purely for Yi Fei. His father was tailing a few steps behind his mother. It was evident that his mother ran towards them.

"This is… Both of you must be Yi Fei's parents, am I right?" When Wu Chen's mother saw that there were two strangers beside Wu Chen, she knew that they must be Yi Fei's parents.

Wu Chen introduced the parents to each other and told them about Yi Fei's condition. When the parents knew that Yi Fei was in good condition, Wu Chen's mother took Yi Fei's parents to talk somewhere because apparently, she has a grave matter to discuss with Yi Fei's parents.

Seeing that all the parents went off somewhere, Wu Chen returned to the room. He was afraid that Yi Fei would be awake and she didn't see him beside her. After all, he promised her that he'd be there next to her when she opens her eyes.

Yi Fei seemed to have a bad dream because she was frowning in her sleep, so Wu Chen pressed her brows and tried to smoothen the frown. Yi Fei jolted awake by the touch.

"Did I startle you? Go back to sleep" Wu Chen smiled at Yi Fei.

"You're here. You are really here" Yi Fei tried to touch Wu Chen's face with her bandaged hands. "Don't leave me alone."

Yi Fei patted the space next to her. Wu Chen nodded, and he closed the door. After that, he laid next to Yi Fei on the hospital bed, careful not to squash her. It was illegal to do what both of them did at the moment, but Wu Chen didn't care.

Yi Fei scooted next to Wu Chen and put her head on his chest, trying to listen to his heartbeat.

"Fei Fei, do you want me to... always be with you?" Wu Chen really wanted to engulf Yi Fei's whole body into his embrace but he knew better not to do that because Yi Fei was injured. Yi Fei moved her head, nodding slowly.

"Then marry me. Marry me for real" And Wu Chen kissed the top of her head.
