The sound of gunfire erupted, and the banquet hall was plunged into chaos, with screams, shouts, and the noise of tables, chairs, and wine glasses being knocked over and shattered—all a tangled ss.
Shen Yufeng was pushed back by Lu Jingyi, and as he steadied himself, he saw Lu Jingyi in front of him with a growing deep red stain on her chest. The ice-blue evening gown was dyed red with fresh blood, and her body swayed, about to fall...
Shen Yufeng startled, quickly stepped forward to catch her, and Lu Jingyi collapsed into his arms.
"Hold on, I’m taking you to the hospital right now!"
Lu Jingyi’s face was pallid as she gazed into Shen Yufeng’s eyes and said weakly:
"If I could die in your arms... This life would have been worth it!"

That night, after An Xiaoyu made a phone call to Tong Xi, she went to work on her design drawings.
However, she felt sowhat restless and uneasy. The pencil broke suddenly as it sketched lines on the paper, puncturing the surface.
An Xiaoyu felt short of breath.
She looked up at the ti.
During their phone call last night, Shen Yufeng told her that he had an important banquet to attend this evening. At this ti, he probably hadn’t finished yet.
An Xiaoyu got up and went to the living room, turned on the TV, and listlessly flipped through channels when suddenly, a news flash appeared on one station.
"Breaking news, an ard shooting incident occurred tonight during a business dinner at Lidu Hotel. Lu Group’s heiress, Lu Jingyi was injured and fell... The incident was sudden, and the injured has been taken to the hospital for ergency treatnt. Police have cordoned off the hotel and are searching for the gunman..."
An Xiaoyu was stunned. Lu Jingyi was shot?
Was it the Lu Jingyi she knew?
At that mont, Shen Yufeng’s figure appeared on the screen, carrying a blood-covered Lu Jingyi, and then he got on the ambulance.
An Xiaoyu was shocked. Was Shen Yufeng actually with Lu Jingyi?
What exactly was going on? Shen Yufeng... was he injured?
An Xiaoyu felt a buzzing in her ears, and her heartbeat went erratic.
She hurriedly made a call to Shen Yufeng, wanting to make sure he was safe.
Quickly, Shen Yufeng answered the phone.
"Hello..."
Hearing Shen Yufeng’s voice, An Xiaoyu was overwheld with emotion.
"Husband, how are you? Are you injured?"
On the other end, Shen Yufeng seed taken aback, "You... how did you find out?"
"I saw it all on TV. Are you all right?" An Xiaoyu’s voice was tinged with a sob.
This ti, she truly felt afraid.
If the first ti she t Shen Yufeng amidst gunfire and saw him injured, she indeed felt a trace of unease, but that was rely compassion for soone hurt.
But now, to her, Shen Yufeng was no longer a stranger but her lover, her husband, her family, her... whole world!
On the other side, Shen Yufeng’s voice was so tender.
"I’m fine, don’t worry!"
"But, I saw so much blood on you..."
"That’s not mine, it’s Lu Jingyi’s. Darling, don’t worry, it’s okay. I’m taking Lu Jingyi to the hospital now, I’ll call you back later!"
Shen Yufeng’s voice was soothing, calm and low, comforting her heart.
An Xiaoyu’s heart’s turmoil started to subside a bit. As long as he’s alright!

Lu Jingyi was in the operation room undergoing ergency treatnt, and Shen Yufeng sat outside waiting.
That bullet just now, if Lu Jingyi hadn’t pushed him away, it would have been him who was shot!
If soone really wanted to kill him, the shooter must have been very well-hidden. Yet, Lu Jingyi managed to detect sothing amiss.
His dark eyes narrowed, the look in his eyes was sharp and cold.
When he tried to call An Xiaoyu again, he found out her mobile phone... had been switched off.
Shen Yufeng frowned. Could it be that she... had fallen asleep?
Ti ticked by slowly. Now it was two o’clock in the morning, and Lu Jingyi’s surgery was still not over, while Shen Yufeng felt exhausted.
He leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.
Suddenly, footsteps approached, followed by a pair of arms that held him tightly... so firmly...
