The man’s eyes were bloodshot red as he pulled her into his arms .
“As long as I live, there will never be a new wife . ”
His thumping heartbeat and his warm, dry embrace made everything real again .
An Xiaxia felt like she had just woken up from a dream . Sticking out a finger, she poked at Sheng Yize’s face .
One, two… she went on .
Sheng Yize waited patiently . On seeing her wide innocent eyes, his bleak heart felt full again .
“Enjoying yourself there?”
That pulled An Xiaxia back to reality and she cried at the top of her lungs . “It really is you?! Sheng Yize, sob … you’re finally here to save me… I – I waited for so long! I thought I’d never see you again and that the sharks would feed on my dead body…”
“Dead or alive, I had to find you . How could I not come get you?” Sheng Yize didn’t know whether to laugh or cry . Caressing her visibly emaciated cheeks, he asked, “How do you feel now?”
An Xiaxia sobbed with grievance . “I’m so hungry and so thirsty…”
She looked at Sheng Yize expectantly . Sheng Yize coughed and said, “I’m not your food . Why are you looking at me?”
“Do you have food on you, then?”
“Nope . ”
An Xiaxia looked disappointed . She hadn’t eaten or drunk anything in two days and she thought she was going to die of starvation .
A short distance away, an enormous yacht was sailing toward them . It had been sent by Sheng Yize .
There was a yearning look on An Xiaxia’s face . “Food…”
“Keep still! The doctor will examine you first . Your stomach can’t take a lot of food at this stage!” Sheng Yize scolded her .
An Xiaxia was too hungry to protest and she replied with teary eyes, “Oh…”
Seeing the pitiful look on her face, Sheng Yize smiled a little . “But I guess giving you some water is alright . ”
Whoosh —
An Xiaxia’s face lit up, thinking that he had some water on him . However, his thin lips pressed onto hers the next moment . His tongue pried her teeth open and he gave her a passionate French kiss .
… Did saliva count as water?
Liar!
The yacht had brought a doctor with it . After examining An Xiaxia, he prescribed her some medicine and told her to start with a liquid diet .
An Xiaxia downed three bowls of congee in a row, until Sheng Yize couldn’t stand it anymore . “You’ve had enough!”
“I… I’ll just have one more!” Her watery eyes reminded Sheng Yize of a puppy and he almost couldn’t bring himself to say no .
However, for the sake of her health, he still made up his mind and snatched the bowl away from her hands .
“You can’t eat too much yet . ”
An Xiaxia gave him a resentful look . After her eyes darted around, she huddled in his arms and buttered him up with her sweet, soft voice . “Hubby~”
“It won’t work . ” Sheng Yize frowned and sat her down on his lap, asking, “Do you remember who did this to you?”
An Xiaxia shook her head honestly . “I was asleep… and I was here when I woke up . ”
Sheng Yize narrowed his eyes, which gave him an intimidating look .
That person had to be very capable to take An Xiaxia away without alerting the bodyguards on the island .
“Did anything out of the ordinary happen recently?” Sheng Yize pressed .
Out of the ordinary? Did that mysterious call count?
An Xiaxia nibbled her fingers . “S- sort of…”
Sheng Yize asked, “What happened?”
“I can’t tell you…” An Xiaxia struggled with her words .
“Heh… I don’t need you to tell me . Did someone threaten you?”
“How did you know that?” An Xiaxia’s eyes were wide open .
Sheng Yize pointed at his own head . “Because what’s up here is different from what’s in your head . ”
