Nonetheless, she still has her worries: "If Nangong Xu dies, we’ll naturally raise this child. But if he doesn’t die, he’ll take this child away."
Following such a father, the child is bound to inherit his temperant and way of doing things.
She hopes there won’t be a second Nangong Xu in this world.
Of course, if the child stays with them, Nangong Xu wouldn’t agree.
In short, this is a dilemma.
Xiao Zexin comforted her: "We are destined for a life-or-death struggle with Nangong Xu, so this isn’t a problem."
Indeed, if they died, however Nangong Xu raises the child has nothing to do with them.
The two chatted for a while longer, both exhausted.
Xiao Zexin urged Nangong Ruyue to rest, and soon he too fell into a deep sleep.
How could Nangong Ruyue sleep? She went to find Butler Hardy, asking him whether he could arrange to infiltrate the hospital and end Nangong Xu’s life.
Butler Hardy shook his head: "It’s impossible. The hospital is full of his n. Trying to break in would inevitably result in casualties. Moreover, there are spies everywhere right now. Acting now would only expose ourselves and turn the whole family against us."
Nangong Ruyue understood this logic too.
"Do we just watch him co back to life?"
"We can only leave it to fate."
Fate seems in no hurry to take Nangong Xu’s life.
Once he wakes up, Xiao Zexin’s days would be numbered.
"Butler, I want to send Zexin away overnight, do you have any ideas?"
Butler Hardy pondered: "Even a fly leaving now would face a thorough check."
"I know. But we have to send him away imdiately; if Nangong Xu wakes up tomorrow, all is lost!"
"Does the young lady have any thoughts?"
Nangong Ruyue said: "Nangong Xu’s n seem to not be pursuing the murderer, but I know, they’re only waiting for Nangong Xu to wake up to make plans. Sending him away directly is impossible; how about disguises?"
Butler Hardy had no better solution, "It’s the only way."
Once decided, Nangong Ruyue imdiately woke Xiao Zexin and explained her plan.
Xiao Zexin pursed his lips and muttered deeply: "If I leave, what if they ask you to hand over the killer?"
"Just because you don’t leave, doesn’t an I can hand you over," Nangong Ruyue retorted angrily.
"Zexin, you have to leave. When Nangong Xu wakes up, we’re simply no match for him."
This is Nangong Castle, Nangong Xu’s realm.
If a real fight breaks out, they wouldn’t even be enough for him to chew on.
Xiao Zexin knew he must leave, yet he couldn’t help but worry about Nangong Ruyue.
Seeing his concern, Nangong Ruyue softly reassured him: "Don’t worry about , I’ll surely be alright. As long as you’re safe, I’ll be at ease."
Xiao Zexin grasped her hand tightly, his expression dark: "I ssed up this ti. Next ti, I’ll definitely take you away from here!"
"But don’t do anything silly. Also, take good care of your injuries when you return. I ask for nothing else but our family’s safety."
Nangong Ruyue’s heartfelt words made Xiao Zexin look at her with deep, tender affection in his eyes.
He felt truly blessed that even after nearly thirty years of separation, she still regarded him as her husband, her family.
In truth, they were husband and wife originally, but then forced apart, and that separation lasted decades.
Though Nangong Ruyue married Nangong Xu, her marital tie with Xiao Zexin had never been severed.
