993 Perplexed and Smitten 53 (2/2)
At the end of it, he said, ”Before I met you, I used to think that there won't be another woman whom I'll genuinely love. However, I changed my mind after meeting you. Mo Li, regardless of the dark past we've had, from now on…” He raised her wrist and noticed the scar left behind from her suicide attempt. ”I won't let another man hurt you again.”
Mo Li's eyes reddened. Although he was three years younger than her, he was much more mature and seemed to be three years older instead.
”Yun Chen, thank you for still being willing to love me and letting me know that there's still hope in life. I'm really, really so happy today. I'm on cloud nine and I've never been so elated before,” she exclaimed, hugging his waist.
”It makes me glad to see you happy. Since we're both in such high spirits, let's do something even more enjoyable. Shall you be on top this time?”
Mo Li glanced at him bashfully and agreed, ”It's your call.”

It began drizzling at the harbor in S Nation. It rained frequently during summer, which was great since it would cool the temperatures down.
The yacht finally arrived.
Fan Shixin and An Xiaoning felt like a heavy rock had been lifted off their chests.
Two bodyguards were standing at the harbor, each holding a black umbrella. They were none other than Xiao Bai and Xiao Huang.
The two of them were standing as still as statues. Upon the sight of the yacht approaching, they stepped forward together and chorused, ”Young Madam, Chief.”
”Such sharp eyes you've got. You came especially to pick us up,” said An Xiaoning.
Xiao Huang answered, ”That goes without saying. We've been paying attention to your location, Young Madam.”
Fan Shixin glanced at him and asked, ”Where's Young Sir?”
As was his wont, Jin Qingyan should have come as usual to pick them up personally upon hearing that they were returning. Why was it Xiao Huang and Xiao Bai instead? Could it be…
”We didn't know if we should handle him with force because we couldn't reach you or Young Madam. Hence, we just got the rest to keep tabs on him while waiting for you guys to return before making a decision.”
An Xiaoning got out of the yacht and said, ”You did the right thing. However, what was the precursor of this relapse?”
”Young Madam, ever since you left, Young Sir has been suffering from severe insomnia again, and he also instructed me to help him prepare some sleeping pills. Young Madam, pardon me for being blunt, but Young Sir's condition has been becoming more and more erratic. Even Doctor Zhang said that his condition will worsen if this goes on. He also suggests that we continue searching for an expert abroad who's capable of treating Young Sir's condition because we don't know when the next relapse will be. However, Doctor Zhang also said that he thinks our current solution is more advisable because knocking Young Sir unconscious is not going to solve the problem. After all, it's still a psychological disorder that'll require proper treatment.”
”How many days has it been?”
”Two.”
”Where is he now?” asked An Xiaoning, who thought that he would be at the nightclub.
To her surprise, Xiao Huang said, ”He's at Hu Xin's house.”
An Xiaoning squinted and asked in confusion, ”Who? Hu Xin? Why have they met again?”
”The bodyguard who was following him told us that they bumped into each other when Ms. Hu began working as a janitor in Jin Corporation.”
An Xiaoning said to Fan Shixin, ”Let's carry the corpse home first. I'll go look for him later.”
”Okay.”
Before setting off on their journey home, An Xiaoning and Fan Shixin placed the corpse into the trunk of the car and sat inside the backseat. After some thought, An Xiaoning said, ”Begin searching for a psychiatric expert who specializes in this field. We mustn't delay at all. We'll try stabilizing his condition first. Things will definitely get out of hand if his condition relapses every other day.”
”Yeah, I thought so too.”
An Xiaoning looked out of the window, feeling rather perturbed.
