I wish you peace and love

At this time, the girl on the bed was still sleeping, curled up like a quiet kitten, breathing evenly and softly.

Lu Xiche knew that Shen Yunxi was very tired and needed sufficient rest to restore her energy, so he just stood quietly beside the bed, staring at her peaceful sleeping face.

After about a minute, he carefully got on the bed.

Afraid of making any noise to disturb the sleeping person, he slowly lay down, then stretched out his arms and gently embraced the girl.

When the familiar and unique masculine scent approached quietly, Shen Yunxi's delicate body trembled slightly.

But she only let out a soft, low hum, and then, as if out of instinct, she rubbed her little head gently against the person next to her.

Feeling the subtle movements of the cat in his arms, Lu Xiche couldn't help but smile dotingly.

He adjusted his position slightly so that the girl could snuggle more comfortably in his arms.

However, good times are always short-lived.

He couldn't bear to leave Shen Yunxi. He would leave before evening, and he didn't know how long he would be gone. He just wanted to be with her for every remaining minute and second.

When the hour hand slowly pointed to 12 o'clock, the sleepy Shen Yunxi finally woke up.

After opening my eyes, I found myself sleeping in the man's arms.

Then, an extremely low voice came from above my head, "Awake?"

"Ah."

Shen Yunxi's voice was still a little hoarse from waking up.

She asked the man, "Didn't you get up? Why did you go back to sleep again?"

And he looked like he was worried.

"be with you."

When Shen Yunxi heard what he said, she chuckled, "You want to accompany me even when I sleep with you? Why are you so clingy?"

As she spoke, Shen Yunxi suddenly said jokingly, "Baby, can't you just not see me for a second?"

"No." Lu Xiche hugged her tightly and said slowly, "I just want to stick to you forever."

"Okay then~"

Immediately, Shen Yunxi raised her head and lay softly on his chest, looking at the man with her two beautiful big eyes, "I'm in a good mood today, so I'll let you stick to me for now."

"Are you in a good mood because you were very satisfied last night?"

When the man suddenly brought up this matter, Shen Yunxi's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It is undeniable that Lu Xiche was telling the truth.

She said nothing, but nodded in acquiescence.

When Lu Xiche saw this, his eyes, which were originally as deep as a pool of water, suddenly became dark.

After a long while, he slowly reached out his hand and held the back of Shen Yunxi's head. Then, he tilted his head back slightly and kissed Shen Yunxi's pink and tender lips without hesitation, saying softly, "I love you."

These three sudden words made Shen Yunxi's heart tremble violently, and ripples appeared.

She quickly came back to her senses, a sweet and touching smile bloomed on her face, and she responded with a coquettish smile on her lips: "Baby, I love you too."

After saying that, she couldn't help but hold up the handsome face of the man in front of her with both hands, gazed into his eyes affectionately, and added softly: "I love you the most!"

Hearing Shen Yunxi's affectionate words, Lu Xiche couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

But the smile only stayed on his face for a few seconds and disappeared before it could fully develop.

"Xi'er..."

He seemed to be hesitant to speak and never said what he wanted to say next.

Seeing this, Shen Yunxi couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. She stared at the man with her big, watery eyes and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Feeling the worry and anxiety in Shen Yunxi's eyes, Lu Xiche's Adam's apple slid up and down smoothly.

He knew that no matter how reluctant he was, he had to face what he had to face.

After hesitating for a while, he finally made up his mind, slowly opened his lips, and said solemnly: "I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Shen Yunxi blinked her big eyes, looked at him curiously, waiting for him to speak.

For some reason, when Shen Yunxi saw Lu Xi's gloomy face, she felt that what he wanted to say to her seemed very important.

After a long silence, he finally said slowly, "I'm going to go back abroad for a while."

Almost at the same moment when these words came out, Shen Yunxi's originally calm expression suddenly froze, as if he was struck by lightning, and he was completely stunned.

"What did you say?" She stared blankly at the familiar man in front of her, her eyes full of confusion and shock, as if she couldn't believe what she had just heard. So, she subconsciously confirmed with him again: "Are you leaving China to go to Country M?"

"Yeah." Lu Cheche just responded lightly, without any extra expression on her face.

"What's going on? Why did you go back suddenly? Aren't we living well together? Or do you have something important to deal with, so you have to go back?" Shen Yunxi blurted out a series of questions, with a hint of anxiety and uneasiness in her tone.

Lu Cheche frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence, he slowly explained: "There is a very important matter that I need to go back and deal with in person." After that, he paused for a moment, then raised his head, looked directly into Shen Yunxi's eyes, and continued: "Do you remember Yan Juan?"

Shen Yunxi pursed her lips and nodded, "Remember."

Lu Xiche once told her that Yan Juan was the vice president of his overseas company and, apart from Lin Yan and Fu Shaochen, his closest brother.

"Why did you mention him suddenly?"

Lu Xiche told Shen Yunxi with a serious expression: "This time, when he was carrying out an extremely important mission, he accidentally fell into a trap carefully laid by the enemy and was seriously injured. The situation is extremely critical. As the core person of everyone, I must return immediately and take command in person to ensure that the situation is effectively controlled and resolved."

Moreover, there was an unsettled account between him and Lapon, which involved many past grievances and hatreds, and must be settled.

Hearing what Lu Xiche said, Shen Yunxi nodded without hesitation to show her understanding.

She knew very well that Lu Xiche had a heavy responsibility, but she couldn't help but feel reluctant to let him go deep in her heart.

After all, the two were in the prime of their love, but now they have to face separation.

After a moment of silence, Shen Yunxi finally couldn't hold back her concern and asked, "When do you plan to leave?"

Lu Xiche took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, and said calmly, "Before this evening, time is running out and there is no room for delay."

When he said this, his voice clearly revealed a strong reluctance and attachment.

"Evening? So soon..." Shen Yunxi was startled, with a look of surprise on her face. However, she quickly regained her composure and nodded slightly, indicating that she already knew.

"What should I do? I can't bear to leave you."

Just two seconds later, she turned her gaze to the man in front of her again.

So why isn't he?

"Ache, how about I go with you?" She really didn't want to be separated from him for so long.

"No, I will be back as soon as I have dealt with everything. Just wait for me in the imperial capital."

"Okay then~" the girl's tone could hardly conceal her reluctance to part.

Lu Xiche held Shen Yunxi's arms and told her: "During the time I'm away, you must eat on time and sleep well. Don't let your mind wander, stay up late, or go out to play until midnight before going home. Do you understand?"

Shen Yunxi nodded silently.

"The last... is the most important thing."

"What?" Shen Yunxi looked at him and blinked curiously.

Lu Xiche stared at her for about three seconds, then opened his thin lips and said, "You are not allowed to chat with other men."

"..."

Although Shen Yunxi was a little speechless about this last point, he still tried his best to respond, "I know, my Mr. Jealous King."

Lu Xiche: "..."

"Mr. Vinegar King?"

“Aren’t you?

"..."

"It needs to be cleaned up."

Before Shen Yunxi could say anything, the world suddenly spun around.

Before she could react, a man's enchanting face appeared before her eyes.

Every breath he took was amplified in his ears.

"Ache!" Shen Yunxi was stunned for a moment, "What are you doing?"

"I'm leaving this afternoon..." He only finished speaking halfway.

"so?"

There was a frivolous smile in his eyes, "You have to make it up to me."

"..."

It's so bad!

"But I'm so hungry."

"We'll eat later."

"..."

After two hours of hard work, Shen Yunxi's stomach was growling with hunger, but she no longer had the strength to get up. Even talking was too tiring, so Lu Xiche had no choice but to go downstairs and bring her some food.

After finishing his meal, Shen Yunxi took another nap.

He didn't wake her up until the people who came to pick up Lu Xiche arrived in the afternoon.

Shen Yunxi personally sent Lu Xiche downstairs and watched him get on the helicopter with his own eyes.

Before entering, Lu Xiche suddenly turned his head, and the two looked at each other for a long time, with thousands of words unspoken.

"Brother Che, it's time for us to leave." Lin Yan inside reminded.

Shen Yunxi said to him anxiously, "Lu Xiche, remember to call me when you get there."

"it is good."

"Take good care of yourself and don't make me worry."

"Ah."

Even though she was reluctant, she did not cry in front of Lu Xiche.

Only after he really left did Shen Yunxi's eyes slowly turn red.

I don’t know how many days he will be gone. Lu Xiche has just been gone for a while, and not even a day has passed, but Shen Yunxi already starts to miss him.

…………

The sky of Country M was azure blue. A helicopter landed slowly. The propellers stirred up gusts of wind, and the surrounding grass and trees were swaying.

After the cabin door opened, two figures quickly jumped out. Their steps were urgent and hurried, and their target was directly the hospital.

When they finally arrived outside the hospital ward, the scene that came into view through the transparent glass window made Lu Xiche and Lin Yan's expressions become even more solemn.

Yan Juan was lying on the bed, wrapped in thick bandages, and looked like a mummy from a distance. Apart from his tightly closed eyes and his lips that occasionally trembled, there was almost no sign of life.

Lu Xiche stared at the scene in front of him and clenched his fists involuntarily.

Various emotions such as anger, heartache, and worry intertwined together, like a surging torrent hitting his inner defenses.
