The eldest daughter's scheming, the crown prince's exclusive favor to the venomous concubi

D was gently held in her arms, her eyes still in darkness. After she finished speaking, a familiar voice said, "Silly Rong'er, don't talk, you'll be alright."

Hua Xiangrong no longer had the strength to shake her head or nod, nor the strength to reply. In her daze, she knew that she was being pulled out of the ruins little by little, then her injured arm was carefully bandaged, and then she was gently carried onto a stretcher or something similar, swaying back and forth, making her drowsy.

The constant noise around her made her realize that she had truly returned to the bustling modern city, and that she was still that wild cat, that arrogant yet lonely wild cat.

The thing on her head was never removed. As she gradually regained consciousness, she realized that it was because she had been in the dark for too long, and the people outside were afraid of hurting her eyes. But why was that gentle hand still holding her hand in her hallucination?

She subconsciously moved her fingers, and her hand was gripped tightly, sending shivers down her spine. Suddenly, she felt like crying. She pulled her hand away slightly and tried to remove the thing from her head.

But as soon as she made a move, the hand stopped her, saying, "Your eyes can't be exposed to light yet. Wait until we get to the hospital and the doctor has examined them before you open them."

The familiar voice and the familiar concern brought Hua Xiangrong to tears. She opened her mouth and uttered a choked question.

"who are you?"

The man seemed to sigh softly. After a moment, he took her hand, placed it on his face, and kissed it on his lips before saying, "Silly Rong'er, who do you think I am? How come I was so clever in my past life, but so foolish in this one? Is it because I haven't met you yet?"

"But it's okay, even if you're incredibly stupid, I won't abandon you. Because I swore an oath, Shangguan Hanque, that in this lifetime, I will only have Hua Xiangrong as my one and only. If I break this oath, may I be struck by lightning."

Hua Xiangrong's hands trembled uncontrollably. She even struggled desperately, trying to tear off the obstruction in front of her eyes and see clearly whether the person in front of her was him.

But the other person's hands were very strong, and in the end, they even held her firmly in their arms, gently comforting her. Every word they spoke expressed their deepest feelings, and even if it was an illusion, she was willing to succumb to it.

Finally giving up the struggle, she savored the tenderness she thought she would never experience again. The car horn sounded, and she felt the car begin to move forward, swaying. After a while, the car stopped, and she was lifted out of the car again.

The man holding her took large strides, and she could feel her body moving forward significantly. However, even with such a large movement, she felt no discomfort. His hands were steady, and he held her carefully.

There was also the sound of leather shoes. The person in front of me was definitely wearing black business leather shoes, and the thumping sound on the floor indicated that they were in a hurry.

Just as Hua Xiangrong was enjoying this peaceful and tranquil moment, Cao Zai's voices suddenly appeared around her. There were doctors, nurses, and people shouting that they wanted to go into the operating room.

Then she felt herself being placed on the bed by a man, and then the man's hands moved out of her range of perception.

Suddenly, she panicked and instinctively raised her hand to grab the hand that was about to leave. The man paused and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, you just need to go into the operating room. The wound on your arm is too deep and needs stitches."

"No, sew it here, mine can hold up."

A hush fell over the area. Then, what seemed to be a doctor said, "This won't do. The hygiene isn't as good as in the operating room. If things aren't handled properly, there's a risk of infection. It's best to..."

“I said it’s right here, right here.”

Hua Xiangrong interrupted him with a low growl before he could finish speaking. Although this had exhausted all the strength she had finally managed to recover, she still held onto his hand tightly, showing no intention of letting go.

After a moment of silence, her hand was gently grasped again, and the other person whispered in her ear, "Don't be afraid, I will go to the operating room with you, and I am your attending physician."

Hua Xiangrong pursed her lips, not believing his words at all. She always felt that if she let go, she would never hear that voice again, and seeing it would be an even greater luxury.

After a long stalemate, the other party finally sighed and compromised, saying, "Fine, let's sew it here. Bring all my tools over, and Xiao Liu, test her eyes and see when we can take the blindfold off."

Then, a crisp sound rang in my ears.

"Miss, I'm going to remove your blindfold now. Please make sure you keep your eyes closed and don't open them, otherwise you'll go blind if you're exposed to bright light."

The young girl beside him?

Hua Xiangrong frowned, but still nodded in agreement.

The blindfold was removed, and before she could even think about whether to open her eyes to see the person in front of her, her eyes were covered by a large hand. The owner of the hand even chuckled softly and said, "I knew you wouldn't behave. Be a good girl during the examination and don't cause me any trouble. I still need to give you anesthesia."

Wildcat had never used an anesthetic needle before, and it was unsafe. She frowned, wanting to refuse, but when the man's hand trembled as he placed it on her wound, she felt a warmth in addition to the slight pain.

Her words of refusal were firmly stuck in her mouth, and then she felt a sharp pain in her arm; the anesthetic injection had been administered.

The little girl who said she wanted to check her eyes was also hovering around her, sometimes applying something to her Yan Jingshang, sometimes laying her down, and then a numb feeling came from her arm.

The process of stitching the wound was quick, and soon the wound was being bandaged. Her eyes also felt a faint light. At this moment, the girl who had placed something in her eyes said, "Miss, please open your eyes slowly. Remember, slowly, don't rush."

Hua Xiangrong opened her eyes and was met with a dim light, though much brighter than in the ruins. She blinked uncomfortably, and the little girl asked again, "Do you feel anything bad?"

Hua Xiangrong shook her head and said, "The light is too dim."

The little girl immediately smiled and said, "Of course, this device is meant to help you gradually adapt to the outside light. It can't be like daytime all at once. I'll gradually brighten it for you, and you can adapt little by little. Once you're fully adapted, you can tell me."

Hua Xiangrong didn't speak, but moved her fingers. The other party immediately said, "Almost done, I've been here the whole time."

Hua Xiangrong felt relieved and began to adjust to the light. This was nothing to the wild cat, and soon she said it was okay. When the instrument was removed from her eyes, the glaring white light still made her squint slightly.

Suddenly, a man in a suit came into view, and his familiar features gradually revived her heart.

"It really is you."

It was Shangguan Hanque, it really was Shangguan Hanque.

Even though his long hair had become short, and his military uniform and armor had been replaced by a suit and tie, even just from the side, she was still certain that this was him.

His eyes were fixed on her arm as he carefully bandaged the wound. After she removed the instruments, he looked up and smiled slightly at her.

“I told you, I’ve always been here, but you didn’t believe me. Silly Rong’er, you really are a fool.”

Hua Xiangrong nodded, then shook her head. After a long while, she came to her senses. Ignoring the fact that her wound had just been stitched up, she suddenly threw herself into the other person's arms and burst into tears, like a child.

"It really is you, it really is you! I thought I would never see you again. How could you, how could you?"

She wanted to say, how could you suddenly appear, catching me off guard? She wanted to say, how could you just barge into my heart like that, catching me completely off guard?

Shangguan Hanque smiled and said, "Because I miss you, I think about you all the time. I don't want to see you lonely, and I don't want to grow old alone. We are both selfish people, which is why we can be together."

His face no longer shows the youthful arrogance of his younger days, nor the naivety and innocence of his earlier years. Instead, it bears the marks and vicissitudes of time, yet also the unique charm of a modern urban man.

He said, "Rong'er, I've been looking for you for so long before I finally found you. So, in this life, how about I protect you?"

"Okay, as long as you want me, as long as you don't dislike me, I'll do whatever you say. Don't leave me, please never leave me."

"Of course I won't leave. How could I possibly leave the treasure I went through so much trouble to find? You must have been blown out of your mind by the bomb."

Hua Xiangrong immediately burst into laughter through her tears, saying, "Even if you're silly, you're not allowed to leave. If you don't want me, I'll chase you to the ends of the earth."

Shangguan Hanque laughed and said, "No need for such trouble. You are my everything. If you want to pursue me, you only need to turn around."

Hua Xiangrong burst into tears.

After the wound was treated, she was admitted to the hospital for observation. Since this was Shangguan Hanque's territory, Hua Xiangrong felt perfectly at ease staying there.

Watching this man bustling around for her, peeling apples and preparing nutritious meals, she was overjoyed. It was just a pity that her arm was currently in intensive care, otherwise she would have pounced on him and picked some apples before she was done.

But how did this man get here?

Thinking about it, Hua Xiangrong asked. Upon hearing this, Shangguan Hanque put down the apple in his hand, looked at her with a smile, and said, "I didn't expect to come here either, but I'm very glad to be here, because here, there is you."

Hua Xiangrong was taken aback, then saw a smile in the other person's eyes as they said, "It's all been a long time. You probably can't believe it, but I've been here for a full fifteen years."
