Nine Yang True Qi was not striking at the assassin; it softly touched him, and at the moment of contact, Ye Xiao immediately dissipated the energy.
Yet, after that simple touch, the assassin at the top was visibly seen moving forward slowly, and then astonishingly fell down.
Han Xuewei had always believed that there were no ghosts in this world, but what stunned her speechless was that she saw the top assassin fall down in such a natural way, without any external force acting upon him.
A look of astonishment instantly climbed upon the beautiful face of Han Xuewei—no, not astonishment but terror. At that moment, she was so terrified that she wanted to scream; her mouth agape as if a hen's egg could fit inside.
Ye Xiao, seeing the terrified expression on Han Xuewei's face, felt a secret sense of triumph. Although Han Xuewei was an atheist, she had no explanation at this moment.
However, Ye Xiao did not stop there; he thought that if only one assassin fell, Han Xuewei might consider it a coincidence, so he decided to make her believe that it was absolutely not a coincidence.
So, while all of Han Xuewei's attention was on the assassins, Ye Xiao quickly gathered another orb of Nine Yang True Qi in his hands, the same deep yellow color as before.
Another assassin fell down.
Originally, Han Xuewei was just frightened, but when the second assassin fell, she could no longer suppress her astonishment.
Ah—
Astonishment was written all over Han Xuewei's face; it literally came out of her mouth.
At that moment, Ye Xiao rushed to the window sill, feigning prayer repeatedly.
"Uncle Han, thank you for giving me this opportunity to take care of Weiwei, Uncle Han, I definitely won't disappoint you, Uncle Han, may you rest in peace, Uncle Han... um, um, you don't need to come back anymore."
So far, Ye Xiao had only ever knelt to one person, his master on Qiu Mountain. Aside from him, Han Jianjun was the second person Ye Xiao had kneeled to. The reason for Ye Xiao's kneeling was simple: if Han Xuewei became Ye Xiao's wife, then who would Han Jianjun be? He would definitely be more than just the former chairman of Jianjun Real Estate; he would become Ye Xiao's father-in-law.
Clearly, for this prospective father-in-law, Ye Xiao completely had a reason to kneel, which in Yan Country, was considered the bare minimum of courtesy.
Thus, Ye Xiao knelt, and it was only natural.
Ye Xiao's words pulled Han Xuewei back to reality. When she looked towards Ye Xiao, he had already stood up.
Han Xuewei looked at Ye Xiao in amazement, evidently moved by his words at that moment.
And along with her emotion came additional surprise.
Ye Xiao walked up to Han Xuewei, his expression very formal. Of course, internally, Ye Xiao was practically laughing.
"Uncle Han has agreed," Ye Xiao said, looking at Han Xuewei.
Although Han Xuewei wanted to refute Ye Xiao's conclusion, in fact, at that moment, she had no reason to disprove his words.
Because she had just clearly witnessed that paranormal phenomenon.
Years later, Han Xuewei would come to know about this incident, and as for her reaction, that is a story for another time.
Meanwhile, Han Xuewei's face was full of surprise.
"Did...did all that just really happen?" Han Xuewei asked incredulously.
Ye Xiao shamelessly and very seriously replied,
"Yes, all of this is real. Don't be scared. Uncle Han has just visited," Ye Xiao said.
Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Han Xuewei suddenly lifted her head to look at the ceiling, the astonishment vanished from her face, replaced only by anticipation.
"Dad, are you there? Dad, did you really come? Dad, show yourself, please. Dad, Weiwei won't throw any more tantrums, Dad, Dad, Dad..." Han Xuewei spoke while tears gushed out like a spring.
Han Xuewei cried copiously while she stared at the ceiling and spoke loudly.
Ye Xiao, seeing the sad expression on Han Xuewei's face, suddenly felt a bit guilty, watching her cry so miserably made him think he truly was a bit of a bastard.
Ye Xiao stepped forward and pulled the weeping Han Xuewei into his arms. In that moment, Ye Xiao silently swore to himself never to let this woman face any threat again, no matter the cost; if anyone dared to pose a threat to Han Xuewei, he would surely kill that person.
"Weiwei, Uncle Han has left, he is reassured about his concerns for you, and I too will definitely not let down Uncle Han's trust," Ye Xiao said earnestly, this time speaking genuinely.
Han Xuewei, with a tear-streaked face, looked up at Ye Xiao and said, crying, "Ye Xiao, thank you."
Ye Xiao was suddenly startled by Han Xuewei's odd words and asked in confusion, "Why thank you?"
Han Xuewei said, "Because this moment right now is when I feel the loneliest and most helpless, but fortunately, I have you."
Ye Xiao sighed and looked at Han Xuewei, "From now on, I will be with you, as long as you do not dislike me."
Han Xuewei did not speak, but she gently shook her head, clearly telling Ye Xiao that she would not dislike him.
Indeed, how could she possibly dislike him? At this moment, Han Xuewei probably would not dislike Ye Xiao anymore. During the most empty, helpless, sad, and lonely times for Han Xuewei, Ye Xiao appeared just at the right moment and successfully opened her heart.
Whether or not Han Xuewei would become Ye Xiao's woman in the future, at least, she would certainly regard Ye Xiao as her best friend, and even as family.
Han Xuewei cried for a while, then got back onto the hospital bed and lay there half-sitting with tears continuously falling down her face. Ye Xiao did not comfort Han Xuewei; he felt that at this moment, Han Xuewei needed to cry, to let out the sadness in her heart.
Instead, he sat at the edge of Han Xuewei's hospital bed, not speaking, just quietly holding her hand, providing her with the greatest sense of security through his actions.
Unknowingly, about twenty minutes passed, and suddenly Ye Xiao's phone rang.
Ye Xiao immediately took out his phone; it displayed Zhao Dapeng's name.
Obviously, Zhao Dapeng must have arrived.
Ye Xiao immediately answered the call.
As soon as the call connected, Zhao Dapeng immediately said to Ye Xiao, "Brother Xiao, we have arrived at the city hospital. Where are you?"
Ye Xiao then told Zhao Dapeng the specific location of the ward.
"Has your friend arrived?" Han Xuewei had stopped crying, but the streaks of tears were still very evident on her face.
Ye Xiao nodded with a smile.
Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Han Xuewei immediately said, "I need to go wash my face."
Ye Xiao heard this and asked in confusion, "Why?"
Han Xuewei said, "I must look terrible right now. If your friend sees me like this, he will definitely be shocked."
Ye Xiao heard her words and bitterly smiled. Han Xuewei was originally wearing light makeup, but after crying several times, her makeup was long gone. In between, the nurse had wiped her face twice, so now there were only some tear streaks on Han Xuewei's face. As for her saying she looked ugly, that was just her own belief, because at this moment Han Xuewei's eyes were just a bit red, and her pretty face could still dazzle countless men.
Ye Xiao said, "They will definitely be shocked, but not because you are ugly, but rather because they will be amazed at your beauty. They will wonder how Ye Xiao got so lucky to have found a goddess for a wife."
"Cut it out, who's your wife? Don't forget Yin'er's feelings for you, and all those stunning girlfriends of yours." Han Xuewei gave Ye Xiao a glance, clearly seeing through the playful remark he had just made.
Dealing with beautiful women is simple, but dealing with beautiful and smart women is quite challenging.
So, upon hearing her words, Ye Xiao immediately closed his eyes and leaned back in the chair without moving.
"Why are you not talking?"
"Resting my eyes."
"…"
Han Xuewei got out of bed, hurried into the bathroom to wash her face, and when she came out, Ye Xiao noticed that apart from her eyes being red, her facial appearance was rather normal, though it was still evident that she had cried, but it was not obvious.
Soon, there was a knock on the door of the ward. Ye Xiao immediately stood up and walked to the door to open it.
Standing at the door were a few people, led by Zhao Dapeng, Zhang Biao, and Wang Qing.
"Brother Xiao, are you alright?" Upon seeing Ye Xiao, Wang Qing quickly asked, looking concerned.
Ye Xiao, keen in observation, could tell that Wang Qing was not genuinely concerned but was just trying to please him.
However, Ye Xiao did not feel anything particular about this, as he regarded Wang Qing as no real threat in his eyes.
Ye Xiao said, "Dapeng, come in first."
Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Zhao Dapeng followed him into the ward, while the others obediently stood at the door.
As Zhao Dapeng followed Ye Xiao into the ward, he immediately saw three assassins lying on the floor, which greatly surprised him. When he saw Han Xuewei sitting on the hospital bed, he was even more stunned by her beauty, clearly not expecting that there was not only Ye Xiao in the room but also a breathtakingly beautiful woman.
