Chapter 1285 - Matchmaking (1/2)

Xia Ling sat up and wiped away her tears. “Bai Xue, what’s wrong?”

Bai Xue shook her head. The person who sealed your memories was really skillful. I forced my way in and may have injured myself, but don’t worry. I’ll just go to the hospital for some medicine.”

“I’ll go with you.”

“There’s no need…”

“Bai Xue, you got hurt because of me. I have to go with you,” Xia Ling insisted.

…

In the hospital.

Xuan Ying stood in the corridor with Sikong Heng in front of him.

Sikong Heng was the owner of an apothecary and had just returned from a meeting regarding his business. He had a gray checkered coat on, with a black vest over a custom-made white shirt underneath. His every move was elegant and professional and he looked mesmerizing.

Sikong Heng handed the report over to Xuan Ying. “Silver Mask King, I can confirm that your mother has been poisoned.”

Xuan Ying’s eyes darkened as his aura turned dangerous. “Is there an antidote?”

Sikong Heng nodded. “But I need some time.”

“How long?”

“Three days.”

“Alright. Thank you, Dr Sikong.”

“Don’t worry about it.”

At this moment, Xuan Ying suddenly recalled something. “Dr Sikong, you hypnotized Lingling… is there any chance she would suddenly regain her memories?”

Sikong Heng’s clear eyes shifted as he said, “There’s no one who would be able to unlock that dream.”

It was only then that Xuan Ying breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that if Xia Ling ever regained her memories, she wouldn’t want him anymore. He wanted her to forget the him who was ugly and twisted, the him who was dark and selfish.

At this moment a melodious voice sounded in his ear. It was Shi Xiaoxiao.

“Ying.”

Sikong Heng left with a goodbye. Xuan Ying lifted his eyes and looked at Shi Xiaoxiao. “What are you doing here?”

“Ying, your mother is my mother as well, so of course I need to come to visit her. Once mother-in-law wakes up, I’ll take care of her like she’s my own mother,” Shi Xiaoxiao said with a warm smile.

Xuan Ying’s black glassy eyes were like two whirlpools, completely devoid of warmth. But he lifted his hand to pat her shoulder. “Thank you.”

Shi Xiaoxiao quickly wrapped her arms around his slim waist. “It’s nothing much at all.”

This time, Xuan Ying didn’t push her away and let her hug him. He lifted his hand and slid a tracking device into Shi Xiaoxiao’s long hair.

At this moment, Ah Zhou coughed awkwardly and said, “Ms Xia, what brings you here?”

Xia Ling was here

Xuan Ying pushed Shi Xiaoxiao away hastily as his eyes darted to his side. Xia Ling was there, standing in front of him and her beautiful eyes landed on Shi Xiaoxiao.

“Lingling…” Xuan Ying wanted to walk forward.

“Ying,” Shi Xiaoxiao said as she quickly clutched his strong arms and acted even more intimate.

After taking a single glance at them, Xia Ling turned and left.

What the f*ck was this woman doing? Xuan Ying glared furiously at Shi Xiaoxiao. “Did you forget what we said yesterday? I will never marry you!”

He pushed Shi Xiaoxiao away and stormed off after Xia Ling.

Left behind, Shi Xiaoxiao stood frozen, her hands balling into fists so tightly that her fingernails dug into her skin.

…

Xia Ling had come with Bai Xue, who looked at her and asked, “Are you alright?”

Xia Ling’s lips twisted slightly into a wry smile. “I’m fine.”

“Alright, I’ll go get my medication. Wait for me here.”

“Okay.”

Bai Xue turned around and headed to get her medication while Xia Ling remained where she stood.
