Bai Xue is going to get married, and terror will not be able to stop it. Because Xiaofan has no position whatsoever.
If he can't give her what she wants, then he has no right to stop her from pursuing her life.
It's that simple.
From Bai Xue's perspective, there's not a single mistake in what she's doing—the mistake lies only in their identities, and the fact that they both have truly given their hearts to each other.
At this mont, Xiaofan is conflicted; he doesn't know how to face this dilemma, so he simply tosses the problem to the back of his mind and decides not to think about it for now.
If Bai Xue had never loved him, perhaps Xiaofan wouldn't have such a difficult choice to make. Yet even to the very last step, she's willing to use her body to please him. Even if it's just a fleeting warmth, she dares to gamble, dares to fight.
"Captain..."
Seeing Xiaofan return to the other side and enter the house with a somber expression, Leng Yue softly called.
"Hm? Is there any wine at ho?" Xiaofan slowly asked.
"There is."
"Anything will do, bring two bottles over to start drinking." Xiaofan said indifferently.
This house was given by Bai Xue, so Xiaofan is the owner of the house, and everything in it belongs to Xiaofan, including all the people like Leng Yue.
Thinking about those eight maidservants, Xiaofan bitterly smiled again in his heart. Bai Xue has certainly gone to great lengths to keep him here. She offered a man the life he wanted, gave up everything, and stayed here to live a beautiful life. Such temptation is not sothing every man can withstand. However, Bai Xue doesn't fully understand Xiaofan, or perhaps their personalities have always made it difficult for them to connect.
Soon, under Leng Yue's instructions, a maid took out two bottles of red wine from the cellar.
After uncorking the bottle, Xiaofan didn't even use a glass but gulped the whole bottle directly into his mouth.
One bottle, two bottles... In less than three minutes, those two bottles of high-end red wine were gone.
"Bring two more bottles over."
Xiaofan knows his own alcohol tolerance, and now is not the ti to get drunk, it's just that he needs to use alcohol to numb his chaotic mind, otherwise, he'll really be tornted by the current situation.
After opening, Xiaofan picked up the third bottle, but at this mont, Leng Yue gently held Xiaofan's hand.
"Hm?"
"Let drink with you."
Leng Yue quietly said, took out two tall glasses, filled them respectively, and handed Xiaofan a glass.
Just like before, Xiaofan lifted his head and downed the whole glass in one gulp.
After taking a small sip, Leng Yue looked at Xiaofan's empty glass, sighed in her heart, and gently said, "These wines were all carefully picked by Bai Xue for you, just the two bottles you drank earlier are over 1500 US dollars each. And red wine is ant to be savored, yet you drank it like water."
"Don't ntion her." Xiaofan poured himself another glass.
"What happened? Did you fight again?" Leng Yue asked with a furrowed brow.
"She's getting married. Moreover, she's marrying that bastard Lingze." Xiaofan said without even thinking.
"You know now?" Leng Yue was not surprised by the news. Now, she had long known about it.
After all, she was originally a person close to Bai Xue; anything happening around here couldn't escape her ears, and this marriage plan isn't really a secret.
Previously, she had guessed that the captain's mood would be bad upon hearing it, but didn't expect the reaction to be so intense.
However, Leng Yue understands Bai Xue; once she decides on sothing, it's difficult to change her decision. If anyone could make Bai Xue change her mind, it would be the captain right in front of her.
Yet now, the captain is sitting at ho drinking wine, apparently not accomplishing what Bai Xue hoped for, causing the captain's current state.
But Leng Yue has always wondered why Bai Xue has to make such extre choices.
"So, what do you plan to do next?" After lightly sipping a mouthful of red wine, Leng Yue asked.
The red lips left a faint mark on the rim of the tall glass; Leng Yue's deanor was full of elegance.
"Of all people, she chooses to marry Lingze. If I get a chance, I would definitely press Lingze's life, then she would beco a widow, wouldn't she? Wouldn't I beco her enemy for killing her husband?" Xiaofan continued to complain.
"Isn't there a better solution?" Leng Yue followed up with a question.
"What solution is there? Once he took Zuimo to Japan, it solidified my determination to kill him. Today, if not for fearing she'd get implicated, I would've exterminated Lingze on the spot." Xiaofan said displeased, "However, who knows if I'll live long enough to get a chance to kill him. In the future, Bai Xue marries Lingze, and her husband becos my enemy; who would she help? It's crystal clear, she might soon be able to kill instead."
Upon hearing this, Leng Yue was startled, it really is as Xiaofan said.
Casually spoken, yet trendously impactful. Initially, Xiaofan ant nothing more, but in Leng Yue's ears, it was otherwise.
She understands Bai Xue; if it reaches a point where a choice must be made, Bai Xue would likely choose whatever allows her to live comfortably.
If the decision has been made, when faced with choosing between husband and captain, Bai Xue is likely to choose her husband.
Moreover, the most terrifying fact is that the White Scorpion poison on Xiaofan hasn't been neutralized. Without an antidote, Xiaofan's actions would be continuously restricted.
Even if Bai Xue wanted, she could take away Xiaofan's dicine and withhold the antidote, forcing him to watch as ti eludes and death slowly approaches.
Four bottles of wine, in under twenty minutes, all gone without a drop left, Leng Yue quietly accompanies Xiaofan, and she noticed that, from beginning to end, the captain never ntioned the White Scorpion poison. This ans, the captain hasn't placed the poison in his thoughts.
This guy should be more vigilant, after all, that poison can't be expelled from the body using Inner Strength. Isn't surviving more urgent right now?
"Alright, no more drinking, I'm going up to take a nap. If anything urgent happens, instruct them not to disturb ."
"Oh. At this ti? Sleeping?"
Actually, Xiaofan rushed to Hiroshima last night, then returned to DJ, without having rested. Now, drink so wine to help sleep, let his mind rest well, then slowly think about what the next step should be.
After all, Bai Xue isn't the main issue, but if their cooperation ends here, Xiaofan would find it difficult to inquire anything about HLY007.
Wait, there's soone who doesn't need investigating, who surely knows where that information is stored.
