According to the conversation video that Orange showed her and also as mentioned by Feng Jianyu last night, probably their most dangerous enemy is a common man. But only she knows the depth of the viciousness of that man. Now that things are clear, she doesn't want to lose him. He is too important for her to let him put his life at risk again.
"Mei, every matter related to you is my personal matter too. Don't think I'll let you fight with this alone" He tried not to raise his voice on her, but can't hide the coldness in them.
"Nothing… That sentence was nothing. Let me go"
"Complete the sentence now"
"I'm hungry; if you are not interested to accompany me for breakfast then let me go from here" Xiu Mei was trying hard to control herself and act calmly in front of him. But the more she tried to do this it provokes him worst.
Without loosening his grip on her he said firmly, "You are not leaving this place until you complete the sentence… And don't you dare lie to me"
"I WILL NOT…" She looked into his eyes one last time and enunciated word by word.
Feeling helpless at her stubbornness, he let go of her and took a step back. He felt hurt that despite being everything fine in between them, she still wants to maintain a distance in some aspects. It's not he is a control freak but letting her fight this unknown enemy alone is too much of a risk.
"THUDD…. CRASH…." Xiu Mei pressed her lips when she heard the sound of breaking of table vase and his frantic footsteps pacing around the room in anger, throwing things here and there.
After a few minutes, Jianyu took a deep breath to control his anger before approaching her again. But this time he was gentle on her, "Come here… listen to me once" Both sits down on the couch to discuss the matter. Technically Jianyu was sitting on the couch while Xiu Mei was sitting on his lap while he was trying to make her understand his viewpoint.
"I'm sorry; I should have not been rude to you." Resting his head on the crook of her neck, he said. "Mei, please don't think about going back to Country Y. No matter what, I won't let you go there again"
She frowned hearing him, "I-I…"
"I know you want to go there to investigate everything. Right?" When he didn't receive any response from her, it was a default yes for him. She heard him talk again, "Mei, I almost lost you once in that country, please don't do anything reckless that I might end up losing you again. Last time I survived the ordeal of living without you because my feelings were unknown to me. But now I can't imagine my life without you. That enemy is still lurking in the dark, what if he again…." Unable to speak anything further his hug tightened around her.
Xiu Mei was startled when she felt something wet rolling down her neck. She looked down at the man who was hugging on to her like a life savior. "Feng Jianyu…."
Breathing in her sweet fragrance he was trying to relax his panicked heart. But tears can't stop falling from his eyes when he recalled the audio recording of his man informing him about her death. What if that enemy harms her again? What if he again fails to protect her? What if they separate again?
This fear of losing her again and going through the same emotional trauma was pricking his heart nonstop.
"Feng Jianyu…." She lifted his face up and saw his eyes full of tears. "Hey, why are you so worried about me? Yes, it's true I want to go there to investigate but do you really think I'll roam around the city just like before. I'll obviously be careful or is it that you still take me as naïve Alice?"
"Silly girl... You make me worry about you so much." he gave a light kiss on her forehead, "But I won't let you go there. No mat-----" She was about to say something but he put his finger on her lips, "Shh! I'm not done yet. No matter what, you are not going to Country Y. If you want anything from that country I'll send my people, but you will not go there. AT ANY COST"
"I'm a free bird now… You can't put restrictions on me" She retorted and he could only sigh.
"Mei, please don't consider this as a restriction but my fear. You know how dangerous that country is. And if it becomes really necessary to go there then we'll both go together"
"No… You're not going there again" She was horrified at his sudden disclosure, "Stupid man, did you forget about your accident? Or do you want to give another chance to your hidden enemy to attack you?"
"Exactly… the way you are worried about my life how can I not worry about you? Country Y is equally dangerous for both of us." Pleased by her response he cannot stop himself from hugging her, "And besides wandering around Country Y aimlessly won't give you any results. Our first step is Country B and not Country Y."
Xiu Mei's heart skipped a beat hearing the name of Country B. She asked hesitatingly, "C-Country B? What's there? How is this thing related to Country B? Why do I have to go back there?"
"Huh? Go back? Have you been to Country B before?" Cupping her face in between his palms Jianyu asked her but Xiu Mei averted her eyes. "N-No… Slip of tongue"
He is sensitive towards her mood; the way she reacted just now means something is wrong. But at this time it's not good to dwell on the things she does not want to mention. He picked the file from the table and gave it to her, "Here, read this thoroughly and you will know why I mentioned about Country B"
"What is this?"
"Details of Infinity Software…
