"What's the matter?"

Faced with Xu Ke, Wang Qiya felt utterly disheartened.

Why did she feel as helpless against Xu Ke as she did against Wong Qifu?

"I want you to bring something to Sister Wang for me," Xu Ke said.

"What?"

Wang Qiya was taken aback.

The next moment, Xu Ke took out his phone and ordered takeout.

An hour later, Wang Qiya had a strange feeling as she left the hospital.

She looked at the flowers and the box of takeout in her hands, frowning. Is this how Sister fell for Xu Ke?

She even felt that if she brought these things to her sister as Valentine's Day gifts, the two of them would probably break up on the spot.

「Wang Family Corporation」

"Good day, Second Miss Wang."

As soon as she entered, employees of the Wang Family Corporation greeted her.

However, when they saw the roses and the takeout box Wang Qiya was holding, they started whispering among themselves.

What's this? Could it be a Valentine's Day gift for the Second Miss? It's just too cheap!

Wang Qiya ignored them and went straight to the floor where Wong Qifu's office was located.

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK.

"Sister, it's me," Wang Qiya said.

"Come in."

Wong Qifu's voice sounded like she was deeply engrossed in something.

Wang Qiya opened the office door. "Xu Ke asked me to bring something over for you."

"How is he?" Wong Qifu asked.

"He can move around now."

Wang Qiya casually shut the door, walked over to Wong Qifu, and placed a somewhat warm meal box and the roses in front of her. "This is what he told me to give you."

"Why?"

When Wong Qifu saw the fifty-two roses, she was momentarily stunned.

"You also think so few roses is a bit cheap, don't you?" Wang Qiya said.

She felt her sister was looking down on these roses. She looked down on them, too. It was Valentine's Day, yet Xu Ke didn't even bother to send more flowers, coming up with such useless stuff instead... What was the point?

"No, I was asking why Xu Ke sent me flowers. Is something the matter?" Wong Qifu said coolly.

Wang Qiya was speechless for a moment. "...Today is Valentine's Day."

Wong Qifu had actually forgotten Valentine's Day.

"I see."

Wong Qifu finally smiled. "He has a good memory."

She then reached out and took the roses.

"And this."

Wang Qiya impatiently pushed the other box over.

Wong Qifu opened the takeout container.

It was filled with peeled crawfish.

Wang Qiya was annoyed. Peeling crawfish at noon for the Wang Family Empress... I really have to hand it to him. I don't know how he comes up with these ideas that are neither romantic nor practical. I actually waited in the hospital room for him to peel them, and in the end, he called this a Valentine's Day present.

Wang Qiya felt the urge to throw Xu Ke out. What's the point of a gift like this?

"I actually think it's quite nice."

Wong Qifu smiled, pulling the crawfish closer. "How long did he take to peel them?"

"For so many... about ten minutes, I guess," Wang Qiya replied, though she couldn't remember clearly.

"Not bad. His speed has improved," Wong Qifu laughed.

"Sister, I just don't understand. He's blunt, unromantic, and has no money or power. Besides being good-looking and a good fighter, what is it about him that attracts you?"

Seeing her sister's adoring expression, Wang Qiya completely lost her temper.

"I have feelings for him, and that's enough," Wong Qifu said, picking up a crawfish. "Want some?"

"I don't!"

Wang Qiya whipped her head away.

Wong Qifu ate one herself.

This made Wang Qiya even more irritated.

That evening, as Xu Ke was getting some fresh air outside his hospital room, he received Wong Qifu's evaluation of the crawfish.

"You could be faster."

Xu Ke laughed loudly and replied, "Okay."

After responding, he clutched his neck.

Laughing hurt.

Afterward, Xu Ke spent another day resting in the hospital before deciding to leave.

On the day of his discharge, Wang Wu hadn't initially permitted him to leave. But when Xu Ke started hopping around sprightly, Wang Wu had no choice but to agree.

As he reached the hospital entrance, an unexpected figure appeared.

Wang Qiya.

"Why is it you again?" Xu Ke was taken aback.

At his words, Wang Qiya's face instantly darkened. "Cut the crap. My sister sent me to pick you up. Do you think I'm keen on doing this?"

She was so irritated she could feel her teeth itch.

Wang Qiya had figured that since she couldn't persuade Wong Qifu, she would just give up. She had been planning to go out with some friends she hadn't seen in a long time, but then Wong Qifu had the nerve to start ordering her around, making her deliver things to Xu Ke and now pick him up on his discharge day.

She was angry enough already.

Xu Ke's remark made Wang Qiya grind her teeth in fury.

"I see," Xu Ke apologized. "My mistake."

"Get in the car."

Wang Qiya didn't give him a pleasant look.

Just as Xu Ke was about to get in the car, something happened.

BOOM!

Xu Ke's ears suddenly twitched. He caught an extremely irregular rumbling sound from the distance.

Then came the sound of tires screeching violently against the pavement, like brakes slammed to the floor but on a vehicle that was already completely out of control, followed by panicked screams.

Xu Ke's face paled.

That sound is heading for the hospital.

"Qi Ya, get out!" Xu Ke roared.

Having heard nothing, Wang Qiya was enraged by his sudden shout. "What do you think you're doing?"

Seeing her reaction, Xu Ke instantly rushed to the driver's side and violently yanked her out of the car.

"What the hell are you doing?! Xu Ke, have you lost your mind?!" Wang Qiya yelped in pain, roaring with fury.

She wanted to slap him.

But Xu Ke gave her no chance.

He grabbed Wang Qiya and ran in the opposite direction of the approaching vehicle, roaring at Wang Wu, "Uncle Wu, retreat!"

Wang Wu was stunned.

He hadn't heard a thing, but he knew Xu Ke wouldn't act without reason and immediately retreated.

"Everybody, get back!" Xu Ke turned and shouted at the bystanders!

The bystanders were startled.

"Xu Ke, are you crazy? What on earth are you—" Wang Qiya cried out, pained by his grip.

Before she could finish, the scene before her so terrified her that her mind went completely blank.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

A runaway red heavy-duty truck crushed her Maserati to pieces before plowing violently into the hospital's perimeter wall.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Everything in its path was smashed to smithereens in an instant.

SCREECH...

An extremely grating sound finally fell as the truck came to a halt.

A scene of utter devastation lay before the hospital entrance.

Seeing this, Wang Qiya's gaze went vacant. It was a long while before she recovered her senses.

If I had still been in that spot... Wouldn't I be dead by now?

When she came to, she realized her entire body was ice-cold, the back of her shirt soaked with cold sweat.

"Xu Ke, you... how did you know a vehicle was coming?" Wang Qiya murmured.

She turned her head to look.

To her astonishment, she saw that Xu Ke had already rushed anxiously to the hospital entrance and was starting to help with the rescue.
