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

Chi Xiao used his hand to close Ruan Qian'an's eyes, otherwise it would be too frightening to see them half-open like that.

Chi Xiao called Dr. Li: "Where are you now?"

Dr. Li: "What? Are you trying to scam me again?"

Chi Xiao said, "No, the boss is dying."

Dr. Li frowned and said, "Huh?! You must be joking, how could she collapse so easily?"

Chi Xiao, who had been suppressing his emotions since the moment he saw Ruan Qian'an, finally let them burst forth, roaring, "Am I the kind of person who would make a joke like this?"

Startled by the shout, Dr. Li covered his ears and stepped aside, then said, "I'm in City B."

Chi Xiao was delighted upon hearing this: "It happens to be in City B. Send me the exact location."

Chi Xiao drove wildly, thinking that Dr. Li had gone abroad, but he didn't expect that he was actually in City B.

------

Inside a laboratory, various organs floated in individual dishes, glowing with a green light.

Chi Xiao stood in the outer room, looking through the glass at Ruan Qian'an lying there with tubes inserted all over her body. Seeing that her condition was gradually stabilizing, he also felt relieved.

He came out because he received a call from Kun.

After Chi Xiao hung up the phone, his flushed cheeks were reflected in the glass.

He murmured under his breath, "Office romances are no good."

Although he said that, his mouth was already stretched to the back of his head in a wide grin.

At that moment, a person floated past Chixiao with light steps, and Chixiao did not hear a sound.

However, the white reflection on the glass made Chi Xiao break out in a cold sweat instantly.

Chi Xiao's eyes widened, and he staggered to the side. After recognizing the person, he said, "Boss, you're awake???"

Then, turning to look inside, the place where someone should have been lying was now empty, with only the removed tubes remaining.

Chi Xiao exclaimed in surprise, "Boss, how did you get out of there?!"

"His injuries were so severe, and he just got up like that?!"

Chi Xiao surrounded Ruan Qian'an, looking her over from left to right. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with her expression, he clicked his tongue in amazement.

Then Chi Xiao looked at Ruan Qian'an with a constipated expression and said, "Boss, where did you find these sunglasses? It's dimly lit here, why are you wearing sunglasses?"

Wearing sunglasses, Ruan Qian'an ignored Chi Xiao and went straight to pick up a beer from the refrigerator.

Then he lay down on the sofa and started drinking, too thirsty to answer Chixiao's question.

He started drinking the beer in his hand, not caring that the beer got his clothes wet because he was lying down.

He then peeled open a lollipop and started eating it, making a crunching sound, which looked quite frightening in the dark environment.

Chi Xiao shook off the goosebumps on his body, picked up the aluminum can that Ruan Qian'an had casually tossed aside, and helped her throw it into the trash can.

Then, I took the mop and cleaned up the puddle of beer that had spilled on the floor because I hadn't finished drinking it.

Chi Xiao called out, "Boss."

Ignoring Chi Xiao, he called out even louder, "Boss!"

Ruan Qian'an: "Just spit it out, stop calling for my soul."

Chi Xiao: "You should consider going inside and lying down, instead of lying on the sofa."

Ruan Qian'an: "It doesn't matter where I lie, I won't die anyway."

Dr. Li suddenly appeared out of nowhere and said, "What you said makes sense, but it can't keep going on and on with your reckless behavior."

Ruan Qian'an lay silently on the sofa.

Dr. Li pulled Chi Xiao aside and whispered something to him, asking, "What happened?"

Chixiao: "It's a long story."

Dr. Li: "Let's make it short."

Chi Xiao glanced at Dr. Li and said, "What's wrong with you? I didn't realize you didn't want to talk to me. Go away and don't bother me."

Dr. Li: "If it weren't for me, she would have died long ago."

Chi Xiao: "If it weren't for you, the boss wouldn't have turned out like this. Your faults outweigh your merits. I'm being kind by not killing you."

Dr. Li: "If it weren't for me, could she have become a god?"

Chi Xiao listened to Dr. Li's sophistry and said with a gloomy face, "You've turned the boss into a monster and a god, huh? Get lost! We're still able to suppress our anger and not attack you, you should be grateful that you still have some use."

An empty lollipop stick hit Chi Xiao on the head. Ruan Qian'an said to Chi Xiao, "Don't be rude to Dr. Li."

Upon hearing this, Dr. Li immediately became smug and looked at Chi Xiao provocatively: "Learn from your boss, he can't distinguish right from wrong."

Ruan Qian'an gave a cold laugh, and Dr. Li immediately fell silent.

Dr. Li said, "Wang, I saved you. When will you come back with us and help us?"

Ruan Qian'an: "Did I beg you to save me?"

Dr. Li simply said, "You cannot die."

Ruan Qian'an said, "As far as I know, you have created more than one 'god'."

Dr. Li said, "You are the most successful one."

Ruan Qian'an sneered: "Do you know why I'm the only one who succeeded?"

Dr. Li shamelessly replied, "Because you are exceptionally gifted?...

Ruan Qian'an was silent, or rather, she could hear clearly at times and not at others.

She then pulled out a lollipop and crunched it loudly, as if she were biting Dr. Li to vent her anger.

Chi Xiao asked Ruan Qian'an, "Boss, tell Huo Jingmo that Huo's mother is not dead."

It took Ruan Qian'an a while to figure out what Chi Xiao was talking about. She lay on the sofa, looking at the ceiling, thinking about what happened that day.

Ruan Qian'an pushed the money in her hand to Huo's mother: "Have you thought it through?"

Mrs. Huo: "It was agreed long ago that I would cooperate with you and you would give me what I want."

Ruan Qian'an: "Didn't you ever think about how upset Huo Jingmo would be if you did something like this?"

Huo's mother's indifferent voice rang out: "I gave birth to him to keep his father, but who would have thought he would be so useless? And didn't you just want him to suffer a fate worse than death?"

Huo's mother glanced at Ruan Qian'an with her beautiful eyes and said, "Have you softened your heart?"

Ruan Qian'an's smile had a somewhat meaningful quality to it.

Mrs. Huo said, as if she didn't want to talk about him, "Let's not talk about him anymore. When will I be able to see my husband?"

Ruan Qian'an sat on the stool directly opposite Huo's mother, looking at her with a smile, and said, "I said he would always belong to you."

Ruan Qian'an lay on the sofa, looking at the ceiling, sometimes clear and sometimes blurry, but Huo's mother's greedy face became clearer and clearer.

As the last candy was bitten into pieces, Ruan Qian'an said, "No need. A mother like that would be a burden to Huo Jingmo."

"Don't worry about them. You can't stop people who want to court death."

Chi Xiao tentatively said, "Boss, Huo Jingmo has gone abroad."

Ruan Qian'an gave a faint "hmm" and said, "Go out."

Chi Xiao glanced at Ruan Qian'an with surprise, without asking why she went abroad.

Dr. Li wanted to say more, but Chi Xiao pulled him away: "Alright, you're always so talkative."

Ruan Qian lay quietly, lost in thought, clutching her chest where no pulse was felt: "She's not dead."

She curled her bloodless lips into a smile: "You've really become a monster."

She looked at her phone, at the person on the screen, dressed in a sharp suit, holding a pen and writing something, his face turned towards the camera as if he had seen something that pleased him. A barely perceptible smile played on his lips.

Ruan Qian'an stared at the photo, her eyes fixed on the person in it, not blinking.

She then kissed him with devotion and tenderness. Ruan Qian'an finally stopped suppressing her love, but she was unable to express it.

"Are you scared?"

The glaring light from the phone screen caused Ruan Qian'an's eyes unbearable pain.

But she stared at it as if torturing herself, until finally, the light plunged her eyes back into darkness.

Not being able to see the person in the photo caused her face to contort for a moment.

"what should I do."

The room was empty, and no one answered her.

She picked up another lollipop, unwrapped it, and put it in her mouth, as if that could ease her longing for Huo Jingmo.

The scales hanging around Ruan Qian'an's neck emitted a faint light, while the intense light burned Ruan Qian'an's chest.

She reached out and touched it with her fingertip; the luster of the scales gradually dimmed, and it was no longer frighteningly hot.
