Every time the prince opens his eyes, he sees

He Yaoyao let out a heart-wrenching scream. She quickly walked to Xie Tingxuan and helped him up from the ground.

Xie Nicholas Tse covered his injured shoulder, his face pale, but his eyes remained firm.

He looked at He Yaoyao and forced a comforting smile: "I'm fine, don't worry."

Li Mubai took the opportunity to pick up the dagger on the ground and confront the remaining kidnappers.

Seeing this, the kidnapper's eyes flashed with panic, but the gun in his hand was still pointed steadily at them.

"Don't come over here, or I'll shoot!" the kidnapper shouted at the top of his lungs.

He Yaoyao bit her lower lip tightly. She knew that she couldn't be a burden to them.

She looked around, searching for an opportunity to strike back.

Suddenly, she noticed a pile of discarded wooden boards in a corner of the warehouse, and she immediately had an idea.

"Mu Bai, attract his attention!" He Yaoyao shouted at Li Mu Bai.

Li Mubai understood what he meant and suddenly rushed towards the kidnapper. The kidnapper was so scared that he fired immediately and the bullet grazed Li Mubai's ear.

At the same time, He Yaoyao took the opportunity to run to the pile of wooden boards, quickly pulled out a few boards, and threw them hard at the kidnappers.

The wooden planks flew in the air. The kidnappers were thrown off their rhythm by the sudden attack, and their guns deviated from their targets.

Li Mubai took the opportunity to step forward, kicked the gun out of the kidnapper's hand, and then pressed him to the ground.

"It's finally over." Li Mubai said, panting.

As soon as he finished speaking, a kidnapper hiding in the dark suddenly pointed his gun at He Yaoyao again.

Xie Tingxuan pounced on him without thinking.

……

He Yaoyao watched Xie Tingxuan lunge at her. At that moment, time seemed to stand still. She felt only a powerful force pushing her away, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground and a dull gunshot.

When she came to her senses, she found Xie Tingxuan lying in a pool of blood, and the hidden kidnapper also fell to the ground, the gun in his hand slipping weakly. Li Mubai quickly stepped forward to check and found that the kidnapper had lost vital signs.

He Yaoyao knelt beside Xie Tingxuan, tears welling up in her eyes: "Tingxuan, Tingxuan, wake up, you can't be in trouble!"

Xie Tingxuan opened his eyes with difficulty, looked at He Yaoyao, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Yaoyao, don't be afraid, I'm fine." But his voice became weaker and weaker, and his eyes began to blur.

The ambulance finally arrived, and the medical staff quickly lifted Xie Nicholas into the car, followed closely by He Yaoyao and Li Mubai.

In the ambulance, He Yaoyao held Xie Nicholas's hand tightly and kept praying that he could survive this.

Li Mubai remained silent, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes.

After arriving at the hospital, Nicholas Tse was rushed into the operating room.

He Yaoyao and Li Mubai waited anxiously outside the operating room, and every second felt like torture.

Finally, the lights in the operating room went out. The doctor walked out of the operating room, took off his mask, and said tiredly, "The operation was successful, but the patient still needs to be observed for a while."

He Yaoyao finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the news, and tears rolled down her cheeks again.

She looked at the doctor gratefully, then turned to Li Mubai: "Mubai, thank you. If it weren't for you, I might have..."

Li Mubai shook his head, his eyes darting wildly: "Yaoyao, this is what I should do."

He Yaoyao nodded gratefully, but there was a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

Li Mubai has always loved her, but she cannot give him the same response.

She also realized that although both of them risked their lives to save others, it was still different.

She thought she hated Tingxuan Xie deeply. She was so panicked when she saw him being shot and falling to the ground.

The surroundings seemed to become pale, empty and cold in an instant.

All colors were pale and dim.

And Xie Tingxuan gradually woke up under He Yaoyao's careful care.

The moment he saw her, he was surprised and touched. "I thought... I thought that even if I was lucky enough to survive and wake up, you wouldn't stay by my side."

He Yaoyao didn't know what to say. After all, ever since she regained her memory, the two of them had become accustomed to competing with each other. She could only say, "Okay, let's not talk too much for now. I'll call the doctor over to check you out."

A doctor was quickly called in and gave Nicholas Tse a comprehensive examination.

The results showed that although Nicholas Tse's injuries were still serious, his vital signs had stabilized. As long as he continued to receive treatment and observation, he had a high chance of recovery.

Hearing this news, He Yaoyao finally felt relieved.

She sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Xie Tingxuan's pale face, feeling mixed emotions.

She once thought she hated him to the extreme.

However, at the critical moment of life and death, he rushed to save her without hesitation, and the love hidden deep in the hatred emerged.

After the doctor left, the two of them sat in the ward. Their usual tit-for-tat was gone, and for the first time, she didn't know what to say. "Um...are you hungry? Do you want something to eat? I'll buy you some light porridge and some side dishes!"

"No, I'm not hungry."

"You've been unconscious for several days, how could you not be hungry?"

Her voice was a little urgent, but it made Xie Tingxuan feel warm in his heart.

"Yaoyao, seeing that you still care about me, I won't regret it even if I die."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

She scolded him, but blushed at his next words.

"I want to see more of you, so please don't leave. I almost thought I'd never see you again."

He Yaoyao's cheeks flushed slightly. She lowered her head, not daring to look directly into Xie Tingxuan's affectionate gaze.

The complex emotions in her heart surged like a tide, love and hate intertwined, making her at a loss for a moment.

"You...you have a good rest. I'll go get you a glass of water first." She hurriedly made an excuse, got up and ran away from the look that made her feel so confused.

After pouring a glass of water, He Yaoyao carefully handed it to Xie Tingxuan. Their fingers touched inadvertently, and it was as if an electric current passed through, causing both of them to tremble slightly.

Tingxuan Xie took the cup of water, took a sip, and then slowly put it down.

He looked at He Yaoyao, his eyes filled with tenderness and determination: "Yaoyao, I know there are many misunderstandings and hatreds between us, but at the critical moment of life and death, I realized that those are not important. What is important is that you are more important than anything else in my heart."

He Yaoyao's heart trembled suddenly. She didn't expect Xie Tingxuan to say such words at this time.

She lowered her head and remained silent, feeling mixed emotions.

"I know it might be hard for you to accept this right now, but I'll prove my sincerity with my actions," Xie Nicholas continued. "When I get better, let's go on a trip together, see the scenery we once missed, and start over, okay?"

He Yaoyao raised her head and looked into Xie Tingxuan's sincere eyes, feeling inexplicably moved. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down: "Tingxuan, I... I need some time to think about it."

Xie Tingxuan nodded, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his determination: "It doesn't matter, I'll wait for you. As long as you are willing to give me a chance, I will not give up."
