[GB] Boss Ruan, your husband doesn't want you anymore.

When Yan Ling Chixiao burst in, he only saw Huo Jingmo sitting in a pool of blood with a look of terror on his face.

Word of Power: "Knowing there's danger here, why are you running around like that?!"

Chi Xiao's eyes widened in panic as he rushed to Huo Jingmo's side.

He asked anxiously, "Are you injured?"

Huo Jingmo weakly shook his head and said, "No, hurry up and catch that person."

"She jumped out of the window."

Yan Ling looked at the shattered window and the surging waves below, and said, "You've courted death. No need to look for me anymore."

Chi Xiao looked at Yan Ling and said, "It's too dangerous here, let's leave quickly."

Huo Jingmo closed his eyes wearily, then stood up shakily and went to the window to pick up the mask that had just fallen to the ground.

Just as the woman fell to the ground, the black cloth inside her mask slipped down, revealing one of her eyes.

He met those eyes, the bloodshot pupils, the cold gaze chilling, a single glance sending shivers down his spine.

When she smashed the glass, the strong wind outside blew her mask to the ground and instantly messed up her hair.

He exhaled, his body trembling as he leaned against the wall, and looked down. Just as the words had said, jumping from here would mean certain death.

Chi Xiao glanced at the mask Huo Jingmo was holding and asked, "Did you see what that person looked like?"

The woman's hair obscured her face, preventing him from seeing her clearly.

Huo Jingmo: "No."

"No."

-

Ruan Qian'an opened her eyes with a splitting headache, only to see complete darkness.

Her eyes felt cool and refreshing; she sniffed and realized it was a herbal poultice.

Ruan Qian'an sat up in bed and rubbed her forehead. Where was she?

She licked her chapped lips. She remembered finding Huo Jingmo at the Treasure Pavilion and then fainting.

I woke up here? Where is this?

Click, the door was opened from the outside.

Ruan Qian'an casually grabbed something nearby and threw it, but the person dodged it.

"Boss, why are you attacking people like this!"

Ruan Qian'an tilted her head: "Huh?"

"Chixiao?"

"Why are you here?"

Chi Xiao slammed up in front of Ruan Qian'an, placed the medicine he was carrying on the table, and said, "Boss, how come you forgot what happened after you fainted?"

Seeing that Ruan Qian'an did not react, Chi Xiao continued to ask, "Do you remember what you did to Huo Jingmo?"

Ruan Qian'an glanced at Chi Xiao.

Chi Xiao described the scene vividly, gesturing wildly: "You tackled someone in the freezing cold and bit them, even knocking them unconscious."

Ruan Qian'an tried hard to recall: "Ugh." She clutched her head in pain, as if it were being repeatedly struck by a heavy object.

Then I remembered.

"I remembered."

Once her headache subsided, she threw back the covers, intending to get out of bed.

"Hiss." Ruan Qian'an's movements were too aggravated, causing her to fall to the ground.

Chi Xiao quickly helped Ruan Qian'an up and said, "Don't move around, boss, you're badly injured."

Ruan Qian'an was helped up by Chi Xiao and sat back on the bed. She remembered to take Huo Jingmo's pulse, as he was not feeling well: "How is Huo Jingmo?"

Chi Xiao: "He's fine. He woke up a while ago, but he fainted from exhaustion."

Ruan Qian'an was skeptical: "I'll go check on him."

He then walked outside.

Chi Xiao picked up the bowl and chased after Ruan Qian'an, saying, "Hey, boss, take this medicine first."

Ruan Qian'an took the medicine from Chi Xiao's hand, smelled it, and said, "Did you brew this medicine?"

Chi Xiao nodded and said, "Yes."

Ruan Qian'an frowned as she poured the medicine into the trash can, saying, "It's not safe here either."

Chi Xiao said with a serious expression, "Boss, do you mean the medicine has been poisoned?"

Ruan Qian'an went outside, her voice tinged with worry: "Where is Huo Jingmo?"

Chi Xiao: "Keep Xiangxiang company in the living room."

Ruan Qian'an: "?"

Chi Xiao looked at Ruan Qian'an's slightly confused expression and said, "Your daughter."

Ruan Qian'an froze for a moment, then gave two dry laughs.

As she walked into the living room, she heard a burst of cheerful laughter.

Chi Xiao, following behind Ruan Qian'an, became somewhat uneasy and blocked the view in front of her so that Ruan Qian'an could not see it.

Seeing the person chatting and laughing with Huo Jingmo, she murmured, "Why is she here?"

Ruan Qian'an pushed aside Chi Xiao, who was blocking her way, and asked, "What illness are you having?"

Chi Xiao swallowed hard and patted his chest, relieved that his boss was blind now, otherwise things would have been terrible.

A woman was holding Xiangxiang, and Huo Jingmo was standing very close to the woman, looking as intimate as a family of three.

As if oblivious to everything, she sat down next to Huo Jingmo and put her arm around his waist. Her domineering demeanor contrasted sharply with her current vulnerable appearance.

She could feel Huo Jingmo stiffen for a moment as she put her arm around his waist.

The woman staggered backward as Ruan Qian'an jostled her.

Huo Jingmo frowned unhappily, then gave the girl an apologetic look before picking Xiangxiang up and carrying her back.

Huo Jingmo said to Ruan Qian'an, "Don't go too far."

"With so many sofas, why do you have to squeeze in?"

Ruan Qian'an pulled Huo Jingmo closer to her, rested her head on his shoulder, and said shamelessly, "I'm willing."

Xiangxiang curiously sized up the unfamiliar woman.

As if sensing Xiangxiang's gaze, Ruan Qian'an turned her face towards Xiangxiang and revealed a wicked smile.

Then, pinching Xiangxiang's delicate cheek, Xiangxiang pouted as if about to cry.

There was a snap.

Huo Jingmo slapped Ruan Qian'an's hand away: "You pinched it until it's red."

Xiangxiang nestled in Huo Jingmo's arms and sobbed, not daring to cry out loud when she saw Ruan Qian'an, who was like a demon king.

Huo Jingmo hugged Xiangxiang and comforted her, "Don't cry, don't cry, Daddy beat up the bad guys for you."

Xiangxiang gripped Huo Jingmo's clothes tightly.

Ruan Qian'an scoffed, "Crybaby."

The woman said, "Don't you know how delicate a child's cheeks are? How could you pinch her so hard! That's too much!"

Ruan Qian'an scoffed softly and said, "What's it to you!"

Woman: "You!"

"I just couldn't stand it, I've never seen such a despicable person as you!"

Ruan Qian'an picked up the apple on the table, tossed it into the air, caught it, and immediately stuffed it into the woman's mouth.

Huo Jingmo, holding Xiangxiang in his arms, didn't have time to stop him: "Ruan Qian'an, don't go too far!"

Ruan Qian'an said innocently, "I didn't do anything."

"It's just feeding a guest an apple," Ruan Qian'an said with a smile.

Chi Xiao occupied the single sofa all by himself, sitting there casually: "Boss, you're so thoughtful."

Huo Jingmo glared at Chi Xiao.

Chi Xiao pretended not to see it and didn't understand why Huo Jingmo was so siding with Chen Jue.

Chi Xiao disliked Chen Jue from the first moment he met him; the man gave him a strange feeling.

Chi Xiao had previously warned Chen Jue that Huo Jingmo had a family and even children, and hoped that she would not get too close to Huo Jingmo.

The woman just smiled and told him that they were just friends and that he shouldn't overthink it.

However, she engaged in many transgressions. She even sought to delve into more private matters.

However, checking her information revealed no problems.

She caused him a lot of trouble. Whenever she was around, Huo Jingmo would misunderstand that he was doing something bad.

Seeing what the boss did was very satisfying.

The woman felt as if her mouth was about to dislocate, and struggled to remove the apple.

Ruan Qian'an watched this hilarious scene and leaned back lazily on the sofa.

A shadow crossed the woman's eyes. She glanced at the somewhat anxious Huo Jingmo with her tearful eyes, then said to Ruan Qian'an, "If my words just now upset you, I apologize."

"But you really can't tease a child like that. If you don't care, someone else will."

As she spoke, she tried to take Xiangxiang from Huo Jingmo's arms.
