C173

Xue Qi stood motionlessly on the street. A slight cold wind was blowing across his face. Instantly, all the temperature in his heart had been blown away by the cold wind, leaving only a terrifyingly cold wind. Using the dim light of the street lamp, he looked at the woman lying beside a car in the middle of the street. His heart was filled with fear …

He walked slowly towards the middle of the street, step by step. In the middle of the road, many people were gathered, surrounding the woman who had been hit by the car.

While for Xue Qi, he was surprised as he stared at the woman lying on the ground through the gap between the crowd. Her black hair covered her entire face. His gaze slowly drifted to the woman's clothes. She was wearing a white T-shirt and simple jeans …

Surprised, Xue Qi searched his mind for the clothes Ming Xi was wearing just now. They seem to be white T-shirts and jeans too...

No, it could not be Tantai!

Xue Qi stared at the woman, who was lying on the ground motionlessly, with a terrified look in his eyes. However, when his gaze touched the shell anklets that were being trampled to pieces by the crowd, his heart felt as if it had been struck by a sledgehammer. It hurt so much!

That anklet was bought by Liu Xi from shopping yesterday. Because of a legend, a beautiful legend, she bought it!

"As long as you can put this shell chain around your feet, it would be equivalent to putting your happiness on the line!" The old woman who bought the shell anklet spoke very devoutly.

Ming Xi was stunned for a moment. She immediately bought one and secretly put it on her right foot, which was the most unremarkable spot on the street.

Staring at the shell anklets on the ground being trampled over and over by the crowd of people, Xue Qi stopped his steps in shock. For a short while, his mind and heart had been emptied out!

At this moment, the driver of the car pushed the door open in panic and got off the car. At this moment, the driver of the car pushed the door open in panic and walked out of the car. He strode forward, pushed his way through the crowd, grabbed the driver's hand, and punched him hard in the face.

"Damn it, you actually dared to drive and run into him?" Xue Qi roared madly at the driver like a lion and waited patiently with his blood-red eyes fixed on the driver.

Seeing such a terrifying Xue Qi, all the onlookers were so frightened that they immediately took a few big steps back. The originally small human circle had now become incomparably large.

"Ming Xi …" Xue Qi looked at the woman lying on the ground in shock, then turned around and hugged her in fear. However, as soon as his hand touched her body, Xue Qi's heart instantly shook. He looked down at the woman in his arms in fear. Why wasn't there any temperature?

"Ming Xi …" "Ming Xi …" Xue Qi hugged the woman tightly in shock, while his jet-black hair still covered her face, making it hard for people to see her appearance.

"Ming Xi, don't scare me. Ming Xi, say something, Ming Xi —!" The hand that was holding the woman's body was shaking heavily, especially when he saw the blood flowing out from under the woman's body and forehead. His entire heart had been thrown into chaos. Why did so much blood flow? Where did he crash into?

Just now, he shouldn't have told her to scram, he shouldn't have hit her, he should have explained to her properly, otherwise she wouldn't have crossed the road and been hit by a car.

At this moment, Xue Qi was so shocked that he wanted to die.

"Hanshui Xi —!" Xue Qi held her cold body tightly in his arms, then roared out towards the sky in pain.

However, Ming Xi, who was in a daze and had tears streaming down her face, heard someone calling her name just as she reached the opposite street. That voice sounded as if she was frightened by Xue Qi, and she abruptly turned her head to look at the opposite street.

Seeing the empty street, the tears flowed even more crazily. He actually left! He actually did not chase after him!

Ming Xi stared at the street across from her. She bit her lip, trying hard not to cry. Only, in her tears, she ignored the crowd in the middle of the road.

Ming Xi clenched her fists before turning around and running towards the alleyway. In just three seconds, her figure disappeared from the street …

"Ambulance! Get me an ambulance! " Xue Qi hugged the woman tightly in shock, then roared out towards the crowd. However, everyone stared at Xue Qi in confusion, as they couldn't understand what he was saying at all.

"Theamulance!" Helpmecallanambulance! " Understanding their expressions, Xue Qi instantly shouted out in English.

Finally, someone in the crowd understood, so they pulled out their cell phone and made a call.

"Ming Xi, I won't let anything happen to you. I definitely won't let anything happen to you! Ming Xi, don't leave me! " Xue Qi hugged the woman tightly in fear, deeply afraid that if he let go of her hand, the woman in front of him would disappear. The blood from the woman's body had completely soaked his clothes.

While he was waiting for the ambulance, Xue Qi suddenly felt that every second felt like a year, and every second felt like an increase in his fear. If she suddenly left him, just like snow, what would happen to him?

No, he definitely wouldn't let her leave him, he definitely wouldn't!

He could not afford to lose her. This fear, this pain, was even more intense and thorough than the moment when he knew that Li Xueyi had committed suicide.

Seeing that the ambulance hadn't arrived yet, Xue Qi instantly became anxious. He lowered his head and looked at the woman in his arms, eyes shining with dense grief.

"Ming Xi, nothing will happen to you. I won't let anything happen to you. Hold on!" Sensing that the temperature of the woman in his arms was getting lower and lower, Xue Qi was so shocked that he felt a sharp pain in his heart!

"Pleasedon tholdmywife! "Please don't hold my wife in your arms!" While Xue Qi was still in a panicked and calm state, a man in his forties suddenly walked out from the crowd and timidly said in English. He had been badly frightened by Xue Qi's frightened expression just now, and only now did he regain his senses.

"Whatyousay?" Xue Qi asked in disbelief after hearing the man's words.

"Sir, pleasedon tholdmywife!"

Hearing the man's words, Xue Qi frowned in shock. Then, he raised his hand and pushed away the hair covering the face of the female lead in an uneasy manner.

When he clearly saw the woman's appearance, Xue Qi's entire body froze, and countless black lines instantly slid down from his forehead. Chapter 179 - Subtle Screams

What was he doing? Why did he hug the wrong person?

Xue Qi threw away the woman in his arms in shock, then stood up with a darkened face, walking out of the crowd, which was staring at him with an astonished look.

With a long face, he walked out onto the street and began to search for Ming Xi's figure. Even as he thought about the scene just now, he still had a lingering fear! Thankfully, it wasn't her, or else he really wouldn't know how to face it!

Han Xianxi, since when did I become so afraid of losing you?

Xue Qi looked around the street in shock, not letting a single corner slip by, because he had a premonition that that woman would definitely be hiding in some corner right now and crying her heart out. She probably didn't have any money on her, and with how stupid she was, she probably wouldn't look for a hotel. She would definitely stay on the street.

Thinking that she might be curled up in a corner like an abandoned kitten or dog, Xue Qi felt even more uncomfortable.

She could buy food to feed the stray dogs, and would the stray dogs help her when she was embarrassed? He was so good to a stray dog, but to him, he was even scolding him for being worse than a stray dog!

What a hateful woman! While searching in shock, Xue Qi was complaining in his heart...

Ming Xi had no idea how many alleys she had run through and how long she had been running for! Her only thought was to get as far away from the street as possible.

It was only when she was exhausted and out of breath that she leaned against the wall of one of the alleys. She placed all the weight of her body on the wall, then raised her head and looked at the sky full of stars. Once again, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

She raised a hand to cover her swollen cheek, then fell weakly to the ground.

"Han Liuxi, don't cry! Han Lixi, don't cry!" Ming Xi stubbornly raised her head and refused to shed tears, but tears still gushed out like a flood!

Ming Xi hugged her legs as she looked around the pitch-black area. She felt a chill run through her body, a coldness she had never felt before. Her thin body trembled faintly in the darkness. She was afraid of the dark, she was truly afraid of the dark!

But why was she always in the dark, unable to escape?

Ever since the night her mother left, when she came home alone and the electricity went out, she had been afraid of the dark! The darkness seemed to swallow and bury all her happiness, to make her feel that she would never have any more.

"Who can give me a home? I just want a home! " Ming Xi buried her head between her knees, crying. Her voice was so soft that she could barely hear herself. However, the man hiding in the alley could hear her clearly.

In the darkness, his dark eyes flashed with a complex light that was not usually seen. He stared at the woman in the corner and had an indescribable feeling in his heart. He had been standing in the corner, looking at Ming Xi, watching her without moving. His cold heart instantly softened.

Ming Xi, I want to give it to your family, why aren't you willing to give it to me?

"Why is no one willing to be nice to me? "Why?" Ming Xi bit her arm that was hugging her knees as she muttered to herself, "Am I not good enough, good enough, or obedient enough?"

Unexpectedly, she discovered that after leaving Xue Qi, she couldn't go anywhere and could only sleep on the street.

Tears ran down her cheeks and onto her arms. They were hot, but her heart was cold. She would never ever return to Xue Qi's side. Even if she had to starve to death, she would never want to go back.

However …

Was she really going to live on the streets? If she was living on the streets, would he worry or care?

Why was her mind still full of that man? Why did she still have a little bit of anticipation in her heart for him to come find her? It was her own fault!

"Han Qingxi, don't ever think about him again. Forget him, forget about him!" Ming Xi painfully covered her head with her hands as she loudly warned herself.

The eyes of the man hidden in the darkness flashed with a cold light when he saw Ming Xi in extreme pain because of the other men. He slowly walked out from the corner and then walked step by step towards Tantai …

Xue Qi searched on the street for an unknown amount of time. He had almost searched all the streets in this area, but he still couldn't find Ming Xi.

Unable to find Ming Xi, he began to panic. He searched carefully along a pitch-black alley. The alley was very dark, and he could barely see what was piled on both sides of the road.

"Han Liuxi!" Xue Qi couldn't help but yell out in shock, "Han Liuxi!"

He had a feeling that she would be in this alley.

Ming Xi's head was buried deep in her chest. She closed her eyes and hugged her head, completely immersed in her struggles, contradictions, and pain. However, when she heard rhythmic footsteps approaching, she abruptly opened her eyes, and then stared at the ground before her with a somewhat flustered and nervous expression.

Him? Had he found him? Will he come to me?

With a stomach full of questions, Ming Xi stared straight ahead. When she saw a pair of black leather shoes in front of her, she was so nervous that she almost stopped breathing.

Young master, you …" Ming Xi raised her head in pleasant surprise. "However, a masked face suddenly appeared in the darkness." "AHH!" Ming Xi screamed out in fright when she saw the man's face.

Meanwhile, Xue Qi, who had been carefully searching along the passageway, was startled when he heard Ming Xi's slight scream. Immediately, he dashed forward …
