The distinguished young master of the Ou family had arrived, and the hospital’s leadership personally ca out to greet him.
His tall and commanding figure exuded an overwhelming aura as he strode forward with imposing steps.
A group trailed behind him nervously, explaining cautiously, "Young Master Ou... Miss Xia has already been placed in the best private room. When she was brought in, her whole body was covered in pustules. We heard she was found in the underbrush. It’s mosquito season right now, and there have been prior cases of poisoning from insect bites leading to unconsciousness..."
Poisoned by insect bites?
In Ou Jue’s usually tranquil and emotionless eyes, a flicker of evident pain flashed.
But in the next second, his expression turned cold once more.
Poisoned by insect bites—this was a later developnt.
The reality was, that little fool had already fainted before the poisoning!
Seeing that Ou Jue remained silent, the hospital’s leadership grew even more tense, as if terrified of offending this influential young master.
Pointing cautiously at the room before them, they said nervously, "Here we are, Young Master Ou. This is the room."
Ou Jue’s obsidian-dark eyes were fixed unwaveringly on the small figure lying unconscious on the hospital bed.
As expected, her delicate face, her arms, her entire body—everywhere was marked with those bite scars left by the mosquitoes.
Damn it!
His steps faltered ever so slightly. He hurried forward and sat down beside her, his fingertips tracing the contours of her face. "Xia Xiyan... you little fool!"
Looking at her like this, Ou Jue felt as though his heart was being wrenched painfully.
It hurt. It hurt deeply.
His eyes shifted ever so slightly, and Ou Jue shot a frosty glare at the dical staff behind him. "When will she wake up?"
"We still can’t say for certain; everything depends on Miss Xia herself. But don’t worry, Young Master Ou—Miss Xia waking up is only a matter of ti."
Ou Jue withdrew his gaze, his focus returning to Xiyan’s frail face. To those standing behind him, he commanded, "Get out."
"Yes, yes..."
The room instantly beca silent, leaving only Ou Jue and Xiyan inside.
He took Xiyan’s hand in his own and leaned down, his thin lips brushing repeatedly against the back of her hand.
The motion carried an indescribable mix of longing and tenderness.
...I am the scene-breaker dividing the Chapters...
Rumble...
The high-speed train roared as it sped past.
An Ran, carrying a backpack and wearing a baseball cap, clutched a newly-purchased map of the Film and Television City in her hands.
She looked every bit like a standard tourist.
To be honest, this was her first ti traveling far from ho all on her own.
Adjusting the straps of her backpack, An Ran fished out her phone and dialed Xiyan’s number.
"Sorry, the phone you dialed is currently powered off..."
What?!
An Ran’s face filled with panic.
Her mother and Uncle Chi were currently honeymooning in the Maldives.
She dared not stay alone in the sa villa with Chi Cheng, that demon.
That guy’s devilish voice seed to still echo in her ears: "So, An Xiaoran, what’s the plan now? You’ve fallen in love with your brother."
An Ran snapped back to reality in an instant.
He just wanted revenge on her—there’s no way she could possibly fall in love with him!
And so... she had co all the way to the Film and Television City where Xiyan was filming in search of her.
But could soone please tell her why Xiyan’s phone wasn’t connecting?!
The Film and Television City where Xiyan was filming was located in S City, a place completely unfamiliar to An Ran.
She had no relatives, no friends here—apart from Xiyan, she didn’t know a single soul!
Walking out of the train station, the bustling crowds moving back and forth left An Ran utterly disoriented.
Who am I? Where am I?
What should I do next?
Just then, soone suddenly tapped her on the shoulder—
