Yi Lan and Xiao Bai quietly sat down beside Lie Ruge and patiently waited for her to wake up. Lie Ruge finally woke up after sleeping peacefully for eight hours undisturbed. By the time she woke up, Yun Yi and Tan Fan were also sitting down close to her. Their joy knew no bounds when they saw Lie Ruge slowly opened her eyes. The first person she sets her eyes on after waking up was her handsome hubby's face which looked so calm, but she didn't fail to notice the fear which was written all over his handsome face.
" Are you alright?", this was the first word she said after she opened her eyes as she touched Yi Lan's face with her hand.
" Thank you so much for being safe sister-in-law", Yun Yi said when they all noticed that Lie Ruge was now fully awake.
" Are you alright? Is your stomach still aching? Do you need anything", Yi Lan asked with worry written all over his face as he helped her sit up straight on the bed.
" I'm alright as long as I have all of you with me and my stomach is aching less painful now. I bet the pains will go away after a while", Lie Ruge said as she smiled a little to lighten the mood in the room.
" You scare the hell out of me Ge'er. I thought I was going to lose you. Thank you so much for not getting severely hurt. We have all missed you Ge'er particularly Yi Lan. He didn't leave your side for a second since you were transferred into the VVVIP room. He has missed having you around", Xiao Bai said as she quickly embraced Lie Ruge. Her fear vanished right away but anger replaced that fear when she remembered the person who poisoned her beloved Ge'er.
" I'm sorry that I scare you guys earlier but as you guys all know I am not the type who normally complains of pain but I just don't know what went wrong so what did the doctor say was wrong with me? Did he say that I was suffering from an illness?", Lie Ruge asked feigning ignorance when she had already guessed what was wrong with her before she was even brought to the hospital.
" Ge'er do you mean to say that you do not know what happened to you or are you just pretending not to know it? You know your system better, so I'm sure that you have already guessed what happened. Anyway, you don't have to worry about the person who did this to you because they are already in our custody. We were just waiting for you to wake up before we will proceed with anything", Xiao Bai said coldly.
" Then I guess my assumption was true after all, so who the hell had the guts to poison our wine?", Lie Ruge asked angrily. She felt a sharp pain in her stomach as she raised her voice in anger. Yi Lan told her to calm down that the doctor said that she shouldn't be stressed out until she has fully recovered. He quickly signaled the guys to change the topic about the culprit to something else, and they quickly did.
" Hey sister-in-law, do you know that mummy Yi was here after she learned from her men that you were in the hospital? You should have seen the look of worry written all over her face when she saw you lying down on the hospital bed. She wanted to stay until you woke up, but we told her to go home and rest that we will keep her updated when you woke up", Yun Yi said smiling brightly as he quickly tried to drive Lie Ruge's mind off the culprit topic.
" What? I hope you didn't inform her that I was actually poisoned right?", Lie Ruge asked curiously as she stared at their faces inquiringly.
" Ge'er we weren't planning to tell mum about what got you hospitalized, but she somehow got to know the truth since doctor Yue came to check up on your condition at that moment. Doctor Yue did not have any other choice but to tell her the truth when she resorted to threats", Yi Lan explained what happened to her.
" Oh yeah! Ge'er the package you have been waiting for the past two days just arrived some hours ago. Ge'er, what exactly is inside the package because according to the way you have been anticipating the arrival of this package it looks like the package is very important to you?", Xiao Bai asked curiously as she paid rapt attention to what Lie Ruge wanted to say.
" I'm not sure what is inside the package but I will inform you guys if I find out what is inside? Hey, guys so have you had your breakfast yet?", Lie Ruge asked eagerly as she quickly changed the subject of discussion.
" Is it already time for breakfast?", Yun Yi asked as he took a look at his wristwatch. He was shocked to see that it was already 9:00 am, and they haven't had their breakfast. Yi Lan dialed Fei Yan's number and ordered him to buy their breakfast and within thirty minutes Fei Yan personally delivered the food to them in the hospital room. They chatted and laughed happily as if they did not witness a life and death situation some hours ago. As they laughed and teased each other they all successfully drove Lie Ruge's mind off knowing the culprit who poisoned her. Doctor Yue later told them that Lie Ruge was free to go home after prescribing some drugs for her. The doctor knew that their Boss would not want to spend the night at the hospital even though he had advised her to stay that was why he said that she was free to go home and moreover her stomach-ache was a mild one, so she didn't necessarily have to spend the night in the hospital. After leaving the hospital everyone dispersed to their various destination except Lie Ruge and Yi Lan who headed to his Mansion. Arriving at the Mansion Yi Lan tried his possible best to get Lie Ruge's mind off both the mysterious package and her curiosity to know who the culprit was.
" LanLan, you have refused to say something about the poisoning incident or are you mad at me because I didn't listen to you last night? If that is the reason then I'm sorry hmmm, it won't happen again", Lie Ruge said as she made a cute expression at Yi Lan but Yi Lan did not laugh, he just continued to stare at her face. " What would I have done if their evil plan to poison you was a success? I have come to love you like a habit to the extent that it will be impossible for me to live without you by my side. I will make them pay for this", Yi Lan thought angrily as he still continued to stare at Lie Ruge's worried expression.
" Are you very angry with me? What should I do to make you pardon me?", Lie Ruge asked as she cupped Yi Lan's expressionless face with her delicate hands.
" You don't have to apologize because you never did anything wrong, it is those who poisoned you that should be kneeling and weeping while begging you on their knees. In fact, they don't deserve to live after what they did to you and I will personally make sure that they will regret ever being alive", Yi Lan said coldly as he caressed her two hands lovingly.
" Does that mean that you are not angry with me? Don't worry I will make them wished that they were dead but death will not come. I will make sure they see hell with their two eyes, I will make them beg me to kill them but I will not grant them such goodness because death will be too much of a luxury to them. I will be merciless to whoever laid his or her filthy hands on me", Lie Ruge said sternly as her eyes breathe out fire.
" I am not angry with you, I am just angry with myself because I always end up breaking my promise of saying that I will protect you forever. Why do they always go after you and not me? Why am I always the one watching you writhe in pains while not being able to do anything despite all the power I possess? I hate the feeling of always seeing you hurt when I am totally fine. I have always wished that I was the one going through such pains every time I see you in such a critical condition. Please don't ever leave me Ok? My world will undoubtedly lose it meaning without you, so always stay with me alright?", Yi Lan said as he gave her a tight hug. Fear crept his heart when he recalled how miserable he had felt when he saw her groaning in pains. The pains were too much for him to bear as he hugged her tightly to himself. He knew the feelings of losing someone he loved since he had lost her once. He wouldn't be able to survive it if he was to lost her forever this time around. He will never forgive the person who did this terrible thing to her no matter who he or she is.
" Don't you ever wish to get hurt for my sake Ok because I will never forgive myself if anything were to happen to you. You have always held back so well hubby, and I am very proud of you. I would have gone berserk if such a thing was to happen to you. You would have woken up to hear that your pretty wife has caused mass destruction that is why you are such a darling when it comes to controlling yourself. I love you hubby", Lie Ruge said as she unexpectedly stole a kiss from Yi Lan. Yi Lan frowned when she disconnected her lips early.
" I love you a thousand times more and I guess I became so patient because I have such a hot-headed wife who taught me what love and patience were. I can vividly remember; I was never the patient nor the caring type a year ago. I killed without blinking an eye and I still have that in me, I am absolutely not the kind type and I particularly hate it when someone touches what is mine", Yi Lan said as he tried to control his already piled up anger.
" Hey, you don't have to get upset because of those insignificant people, I bet we will have so much fun dealing with each one of them later on. Let's just have a warm and cozy night today", Lie Ruge said as she started teasing Yi Lan with her hands.
" Sure, just warm and cozy, no steamy and hot moment alright?", Yi Lan said with a smile on his face as he held her two hands in place so that she would not tease him anymore. He didn't want her to get him all excited only to leave his little brother in a pitiable state since they wouldn't be able to have s.e.x that night because she was not fully alright. Lie Ruge struggled to free herself, but she couldn't since Yi Lan was stronger than her, so she obediently lied down beside him after struggling with him for fifteen minutes.
