Xia Wan seemed to be very cautious, her entire body was wrapped around him, and she was slightly uneasy as she shrank.

The current situation only made her feel embarrassed. She didn't know what to think of Xiao Muting, as the things he did previously had yet to subside, yet he was really here to protect her from getting hurt.

The split between the two was like a dark cloud hanging over her head, while the other was like a bright sunlight.

Xiao Muting's heart was completely intoxicated by the joy of seeing himself, as he automatically ignored her contradictory feelings. An appropriate and appropriate smile emerged on his face, a faint warmth congealing within Xia Wan.

Xia Wan scratched his finger with his head down, not knowing what to say, and said cryptically: "Your injuries are not fully healed yet, you need to recuperate properly, don't just focus on work."

"Alright," Xiao Muting said with a slight smile, but it was a smile that carried a hint of calmness, "I'm very happy that you're able to come and see me."

With that said, Xiao Muting quietly stared at Xia Wan.

Sensing his scorching gaze, Xia Wan raised her head stiffly, and stood up as if she was trying her best to avoid his gaze, "I'll be taking my leave first."

"You just arrived. You didn't stay for long." Xiao Muting's face instantly darkened, and the warm smile from before also disappeared.

Xia Wan turned around decisively, if she did not go back now, Ol 'Six would probably be suspicious, "I really have to go."

Seeing the resolute back, the bowstring in Xiao Muting's heart suddenly broke. He immediately stood up and was about to stop Xia Wan. However, that broken body didn't have his own will. It floated down and let out a muffled groan.

Hearing that, Xia Wan panicked and turned to support him, bringing him safely to the bed. She frowned, as if reprimanding a disobedient child, "What are you doing?"

Facing Xia Wan's questioning, Xiao Muting covered his wound, pretended to have a relapse, and squeezed out a painful groan from the gaps between his teeth.

Seeing that he was in so much pain, Xia Wan's eyes lit up and her tensed nerves felt as if they were being fiddled with.

"I'll go call a doctor," Xia Wan said as he felt that Xiao Muting was owed a lot, so he quickly turned around.

Xiao Muting had already expected this and grabbed her hand, "There's no need."

"You can't act like this," Xia Wan's face was filled with worry, his heart was completely focused on Xiao Muting's injuries, and he ignored her sudden intimate action.

Xia Wan did not resist, but naturally, Xiao Muting was also unwilling to let go, and spoke in a low voice, "The wound will always be like this, there's no use in calling the doctor over."

"But I can't either …" Before Xia Wan could finish his words, he was cut off by Xiao Muting's feeble voice, "Let me slow down."

Seeing that he was enduring the pain, Xia Wan felt even more guilty. He did not bring up the matter of him leaving, and quietly waited by the side.

Feeling Xia Wan's concern, the sly smile on Xiao Muting's face quickly faded. It seemed that he had successfully tricked Xia Wan's guilt. This way, it would be very easy to earn Xia Wan's trust.

Xiao Muting thought about it, but his expression did not change, as if he was still enduring the pain.

It went on like this for a long time. Xia Wan finally saw Xiao Muting's expression relax and asked: "How do you feel now?"

Xiao Muting forced out a smile, pretending to be relieved. "It's fine, you can go first."

In the end, he couldn't force Xia Wan too much, so he pretended to be generous.

"Your body …" Xia Wan deeply furrowed his brows. It was obvious that he was worried.

Xiao Muting casually waved his hand, "It's fine, the pain is already past, you can rest assured."

It was already getting late, and Xia Wan did not dare to stay, but he was still worried about Xiao Muting. After confirming over and over again that Xiao Muting's body was fine, he finally managed to leave.

After Xia Wan left, Xiao Muting was in a good mood. He lazily leaned against the pillow, swung his legs, and casually picked up his phone. The screen just happened to light up, and his long and narrow eyes slightly narrowed as he picked up the call.

It was the president of the newspaper. As soon as he came up, he asked: "I wonder if Mr. Xiao is satisfied with the hype?"

's smiling face appeared in his mind, Xiao Muting nodded craftily, then casually replied, "Of course."

It turned out that the matter of Xiao Muting fainting at the press conference did not have much of an impact at first, but he had spent his own money to buy the news and took up all the headlines, causing this matter to be stirred up.

And his final goal, was to attract Xia Wan's attention.

What he wanted was precisely Xia Wan's guilt. She couldn't remember anything now, and it was easier to sway her than to be tied to her.

Xiao Muting was very satisfied with the result of the hype. After all, Xia Wan's current performance had met his expectations. Although there was still an invisible barrier separating the two of them, as long as he worked hard, he believed that the so-called barrier would quickly disappear.

"I don't know..." The president of the newspaper raised his eyebrows, laughing greedily as he dragged his voice. Naturally, Xiao Muting knew the meaning behind this.

"President, please be at ease," Xiao Muting said in an extremely magnanimous manner, as he stabbed the president's heart, "As for the remaining parts, my assistant will call you."

"Mr. Xiao is straightforward indeed." After saying a few more flattering words, the newspaper's director felt that his explanation was round and appropriate.

Xiao Muting smiled perfunctorily and hung up. Quiet And Steadfast's eyes flickered with a deep sense of meaning. He had to lay out a good plan for his future. Xia Wan was determined.

Xia Wan was on his way back, feeling extremely upset.

Scratching his head in a troubled manner, Xia Wan was stuck in a deep dilemma, unable to extricate himself.

On one hand, she hoped to keep herself and Xiao Muting's distance, so that they wouldn't get involved anymore and be deceived by him again. Of course, this was also due to Tang Shaofeng. She didn't want to be a guilty wife in front of Tang Shaofeng.

At the same time, she also didn't want Tang Shaofeng to suffer any more grievances. Whenever he thought about the injured look in his eyes, Xia Wan would always feel a pang in his heart.

On the other hand, Xiao Muting had gotten injured because he saved her, so she couldn't pretend that nothing had happened.

But if that was the case, it would inevitably have to be somewhat linked to Xiao Muting. Xia Wan was afraid. She, who had lost her memory, felt that she was like a floating blade of grass floating on the surface of the water.

But no matter what, Xia Wan could not figure out what was going on, and could only sigh from exhaustion.

Every step she took landed solidly on the ground, yet Xia Wan felt as if he was floating above the clouds.

As he slowly withdrew his thoughts, Xia Wan opened his eyes wide in shock. Looking at the unfamiliar road in front of him, the panic in his heart rose.

After being in a trance for so long, she lost her way as she walked. Xia Wan looked around in confusion, but did not have a clue.

Subconsciously touching his pockets, Xia Wan's face became even more unsightly. When she came out, she didn't have much money on her, and had already spent it all when she came to the hospital.

She, who was penniless, didn't know how to go back for a while. She opened her eyes wide and looked around helplessly.

After returning to his dwelling, Ol 'Six couldn't wait for Xia Wan and started to worry. A bad premonition slowly rose in his heart.

Could it be that Xia Wan met with some sort of danger? Thinking of this, the sixth brother couldn't sit still any longer and immediately called for his subordinates to go find someone.

The sixth brother went back to the place where the two of them had parted ways, not caring about his face anymore as he pulled a woman by his side. "You, go inside and take a look to see if there's one …" "Such a woman." The Sixth Brother took out Xia Wan's photo and showed it to him.

The man saw the murderous look on Ol 'Six's face, and he also felt that it was a crime from the bottom of his heart, so he entered in a fluster.

After a while, when he came out, he heard Sixth Brother shouting, "Where is he? Is there? "

The man shook his head. "There's no one inside." As he finished speaking, he backed away, afraid that the anger coming from Ol 'Six would affect him.

"How could that be?" The Sixth Brother smacked his head. He was confused, how could he just abandon Xia Wan like that? Don't think that it was won by Xia Xue. How could he face Tang Shaofeng? The guilt quickly spread, as if it wanted to swallow him whole.

The sixth brother and his subordinates searched the surroundings thoroughly, but no one could be seen. This way, without being able to find anyone's impatience and the depression in his heart, Ol 'Six would start to go crazy.

The sixth brother kicked the tree, causing leaves to fall, but they were unable to lessen the sixth brother's surging emotions.

"Boss, what should we do now?" The lackey stuck his head out and leaned on the sixth brother's side.

Worried that Xia Wan would be ambushed, he had no choice but to narrow his eyes. "Let's go, we'll tell Tang Shaofeng at Police station."

With a few underlings by his side, the sixth brother's group quickly headed towards Police station.

Ol 'Six had always been the one causing trouble, and the police couldn't handle him either, but he had actually forced his way in.

With a burst of noise, Ol 'Six came in front of Tang Shaofeng.

The moment he saw Old Sixth, Tang Shaofeng's already heavy face became gloomy, and he began to criticize sternly, "Did you take my words as wind passing by?"

The sixth brother also knew that his challenge to Police station was a big deal for Tang Shaofeng. He rubbed his head and quickly told Tang Shaofeng about the situation.

Tang Shaofeng's face darkened, he glared at Old Sixth, and started to burn with anger that was out of proportion to his ice-cold face. His voice sounded as if it had been tempered with poison, "If anything happens to Xia Wan, I'll ask you a question."

With that, he left the Police station with a cold expression.

The police also shouted from behind him, "Tang Shaofeng, you are currently in custody, you cannot leave without permission."

Following the voice, Tang Shaofeng's cold eyes looked behind him, like a sharp knife, it pierced through the policeman's throat, "My wife lost it, I want to go look for her!"

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his legs trembled. Even though his voice was not steady, he still shouted, "You better go back to the detention center, or else you'll interfere with official matters."

Tang Shaofeng only wanted to fly in front of Xia Wan to protect him, so he did not care about it at all, as if he did not hear what the police said. With a worried expression, he was worried if Xia Wan was in danger.
