C29

The people on the mountain were in a panic, and it was a huge mess at the foot of the mountain.

If they sealed off the road, they wouldn't be able to enter at all.

Yu Xiaomeng, don't let anything happen to you.

Tan Yubai immediately picked up the call with an unknown number.

"Boss Tan." It was a man's voice, familiar but full of ill intentions.

"He Mingxuan!" Tan Yubai's voice was filled with anger, it was completely different from his usual indifferent and indifferent tone, "How is Yu Meng!?"

"She?" He Mingxuan spoke slowly, intentionally or unintentionally worrying Tan Yubai: "I just coaxed her to sleep."

Tan Yubai could not help but clench his fists: "I'm warning you, stay away from her."

He Mingxuan sneered: "Why."

"She's mine." Tan Yubai had never felt so confident before. "If you dare touch her, I'll chop your hand off."

"Yours?" He Mingxuan laughed even louder: "What, her body has your name engraved on it?" Now that He Mingxuan had the upper hand, he naturally would not hesitate to use his right to be the leader. He Mingxuan paused, "Earlier, when the mountain fell, Mengmeng was so scared that her hands and feet became cold. I held her for a long time, and it took me a long time to recover."

Tan Yubai was so angry that his liver was trembling, and in his throat, he could actually taste a little bit of sweetness.

He said, word for word, "If you're a man, then don't take advantage of me."

He Mingxuan heard the heavy breathing on the other end of the phone. He had achieved his goal, and only left behind a meaningful smile in the end, before he decisively hung up.

He was standing on the hillside outside the hotel, the only place where he could barely find some signal.

He Mingxuan put away his phone in satisfaction and returned to the hotel.

Yu Meng was still lying on the bed. He Mingxuan sat beside her, the sky was already completely bright. The sunlight was shining on her face, even the tiniest hairs could be seen clearly.

Being stared at by He Mingxuan like that, Yu Meng felt that it was weird to lie down, so she simply sat up and faced's face.

"Where did you go?"

"Let's go out and check out the situation."

"See what?"

"Nothing."

"Then how long do we have to go down the mountain?"

"About two or three days."

Yu Meng sat quietly on the bed for a while. Suddenly, she couldn't help but ask a question.

"Don't you need to go and see Gu Manni."

She was on the mountain with them, and the landslide, that delicate princess, must have been terrified.

He Mingxuan laughed: "What are you looking at her for?"

"She must be scared."

"But you were scared too." He Mingxuan held onto Yu Meng's shoulder. "If I go over to look for her, I'll most likely be grabbed by her and won't be able to get back."

Yu Meng remained silent.

"What are you worried about? The hotel staff will take good care of her."

"She is your childhood sweetheart." Yu Meng said.

He Mingxuan said confidently.

"Obviously it's more important to be with your fiancée."

Yu Meng felt that she could not beat He Mingxuan, and drooped his head. She then lay back down on the bed and turned her back to him.

After a long while, he heard He Mingxuan's voice again.

"Do you think I'm being too ruthless?"

Yu Meng didn't say anything.

"But between you and her, I can only choose one." He Mingxuan said: "If there was an aftershock on the mountain when I went to see her, I wouldn't have been able to make it back in time, and would have been unable to properly protect you."

As Yu Meng listened, she hesitated for a moment before slowly turning around.

He Mingxuan looked down at Yu Meng's face and lightly touched it: I'm not being ruthless, I just care about you more.

Looking at his serious face, Yu Meng suddenly blinked.

"Then let me ask you, your mom and I fell into the water, who are you saving first?"

Yu Meng's joke had successfully calmed the heavy atmosphere, allowing He Mingxuan to laugh easily.

He said, "Save my mother."

He paused again. "Then I'll jump down and die with you."

Yu Meng was stunned.

She turned around with her back facing He Mingxuan.

"I already said that I won't die with you."

On the second day he was trapped, He Mingxuan received a call from Tan Yubai. Just as he was about to leave the hotel to check on the situation on the mountain slope.

"How is Yu Meng?"

"If you're worried, then come and see for yourself."

Tan Yubai trembled in anger. If he could go up, why wait at the foot of the mountain for him to get so anxious?!

"He Mingxuan, you're courting death!"

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore." He Mingxuan said, "Don't worry, before we marry Mengmeng, I won't do anything excessive to her."

"Then please be aware of yourself." Tan Yubai spoke coldly, "It's impossible for Yu Meng to marry you."

"We're getting engaged next month, didn't you hear?"

"That's only because she couldn't stand Du Qinyi's words, so she had no choice but to acquiesce." Tan Yubai was very calm regarding this, because he understood Yu Meng too well, even more than he understood himself.

"I hope you have the last word." Just as He Mingxuan finished speaking, he heard the sound of footsteps behind him.

"He Mingxuan!" It was Yu Meng, running out of the hotel.

"Who are you talking to?"

He Mingxuan just slowly moved his phone away from his ear as he heard Yu Meng's voice from inside the receiver. He was sure that Tan Yubai must have heard his.

"I'm just trying to see if there's a signal. "I think that I'll be able to go down the mountain tomorrow. After thinking about it for a while, I really can't bear to part with you. These few days of living together have made me feel that I will definitely be very happy if I marry you in the future."

With that, he calmly cut off the call and put the phone back in his pocket.

"What's wrong with you?" Yu Meng walked over, looked down at the steep slope, and took a deep breath.

"It really does look a bit scary."

"Then don't look." He Mingxuan reached out and pulled Yu Meng back, "Let's go eat."

For the entire three days, He Mingxuan accompanied Yu Meng. Like he had said, that childhood sweetheart of hers was not important at all, not important to the point that he didn't even need to look at his.

On the fourth day, the police opened up a road to pick up the people on the mountain.

The matter became a hot topic in the news, and everyone in the family knew about it.

The moment his phone received a message, it rang continuously. It was a message of concern from his family and friends.

Even the stubborn Yu Zheng called Yu Meng at the first moment.

"They went down the mountain?"

"Yes."

"Are you hurt?"

"No, Dad."

"Yes." Yu Zheng's voice became slightly less cold and much softer, "It's good that you're not injured."

The atmosphere was awkward for a moment.

Yu Zheng then opened his mouth.

"If you have time, go home and take a seat."

"Alright."

After hanging up the phone, He Mingxuan took over the conversation.

"Uncle Yu?"

"Yes."

"The relationship between you father and daughter isn't as stiff as you imagined." He Mingxuan lightly touched Yu Meng's shoulder, "The Old Master is really worried about you. Don't be so stubborn, he's old."

Yu Mengzhan glanced at him.

"You know everything."

"People care about you, of course they pay attention to things."

"Who wants you to care?"

The two of them were joking, laughing and joking. Not far away, Tan Yubai, who was sitting in the front seat of the car, watched everything from afar.

The dull pain in his chest had been numbed to the point that he lost consciousness after these past few days of torment.

"Boss Tan, let's go back."

The one in the driver's seat was Tan Yubai's assistant. He followed Tan Yubai's gaze and saw Yu Meng's figure.

"You're still pouring the liquid, don't work too hard."

Tan Yubai unwillingly retracted his gaze, raised his head and leaned on the back of the chair, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Go back."

His eyes were closed, and his voice was hoarse to the extreme.

Naturally, he was too tired to say anything else.

"Going back to the company or to the Du Family villa …" The assistant asked very softly, very carefully.

Tan Yubai did not hesitate.

"The company."

The assistant was still worried about the situation, the last time Boss Tan passed out from the suburbs due to a fever, he had been unconscious for a few days already, and when he came back, he had to continuously lose fluids before being able to move freely, but he did not care about his body at all, as long as he had enough strength he could rush here, and now he was so weak and had to go to the company, how could any normal person withstand it?

"Why don't we go home and rest for a while?" Although the assistant understood Tan Yubai and knew that he didn't like people refuting his decision, he still couldn't bear to see him waste his body like that.

"Drive."

Tan Yubai frowned, but these two words caused the assistant to return the persuasion back to him.

Yu Meng did not see Tan Yubai's car, she only looked around, but did not see the familiar figure.

It looked like he really didn't care at all.

Unable to restrain her emotions, Yu Meng's heart would still be in great pain.
