Wang Ye Captures His Wife

Chapter 9

"Shi-xiong, you can't take me away like this. Long Hao Tian will not let you go."

Hai Yao kept persuading all the way but he did not stop. All along the way, he had been using his martial arts skill to get away but he was at a loss where to take her.

"Shi-mei, do you have feelings for Long Hao Tian? Is that why you are not willing to leave him?"

Cheng Gang frowned and looked at the person in his arms. If that was so, then wouldn't that make him a villain?

"I don't know. All I know is that he will not give up on me. Shi-xiong, I don't want to implicate you. It will be better for you to send me back quickly."

At this moment, Long Hao Tian must have discovered that she was gone and would be searching for her. If he knew it was Shi-xiong who had taken her away, he would definitely make her Shi-xiong pay.

Cheng Gang finally stopped and put down the person in his arms. The two people were now deep in a forest surrounded by thick foliage as cover. It would not be easy for Long Hao Tian to find them.

"Shi-mei, do you know why he is so anxious to return to the palace?"

"I don't know."

Since Shi-xiong asked this question, could it be he knows something?

"I heard that the Emperor is going to bestow a marriage for Jing Wang to marry Prime Minister Wang's daughter. So are you still planning to stay beside him?"

As her Shi-xiong, he would not allow her to suffer any injustice by staying beside Long Hao Tian. Moreover, his Shi-mei has pride and absolutely will not accept sharing her husband with others.

When she heard those words, Hai Yao's expression changed slightly, her eyes clouded and pondered for a long time.

"Shi-xiong, don't worry about this matter. With my understanding of him, he would not agree to a decreed marriage. If I guess correctly, he is rushing back to the palace to stop this marriage. Anyway, I have an agreement with him. Before I recover from my internal injuries, I will not leave him. Shi-xiong, it will better for you to quickly send me back."

Since Long Hao Tian was so determined to have her, she believed that he would never give up her. In addition, she had heard he had refused to accept forced marriages by the Emperor and the Empress Dowager on numerous occasions. She believed that this time he would also not agree to this marriage.

It seems Shi-mei is beginning to have feelings for Long Hao Tian. Even if she does not have any feeling now, it does not mean she will not in future. At least now Shi-mei is not willing to leave Long Hao Tian. Just this point alone, it was not right for him to interfere with their matter.

"Since you are so confident, I will not stop you. But there is one thing I must tell you."

"What is it?"

"Xiu Luo escaped."

"What?! When did this happen?"

Hai Yao was shocked. She was afraid it would be a mammoth task to catch him again.

"Two weeks ago. Just the night before his execution, he broke away from his iron chains and killed the four prison guards. Now every major county's Yamen is trying their best to capture him. Shi-mei, you must be careful. If news leaks out that you are still alive, he will never let you go."

Shi-mei is now blind and also seriously injured. Obviously, she will be no match for Xiu Luo. Fortunately, she has Long Hao Tian's protection so it should not be a problem.

"I know, I will be careful. I just hate that I can't arrest him now. Shi-xiong, you have to be careful."

After Jade Face Hunter had fallen down the cliff, he no longer existed in this world. From now on, Dong Fang Jie also does not exist.

"Such good relationship between a pair of Shi-xiong and Shi-mei. It makes others very envious."

Suddenly a deep gloomy voice drifted through the forest. Then a tall, straight figure appeared silently.

"You are good, Cheng Gang. You even dare to take her away from me. In your eyes, does this Jing Wang have any importance at all?"

Long Hao Tian narrowed his eyes dangerously. Cheng Gang subconsciously moved his body forward to shield Hai Yao. Long Hao Tian glared fiercely at him. His palms on his sides secretly gathered his inner strength and the rage in his chest began to circle.

"Let my Shi-xiong go. He had mistakenly thought I was under duress, let him go."

Even though Hai Yao could not see with her eyes, she also understood that a fight might start because of her. In order to prevent her Shi-xiong from getting injured, she groped towards him. She put both her hands on his broad chest from behind and voluntarily encircled both her arms around him to hug his stiff, angry body to prevent him from having the chance to start a fight.

"Wang-Ye, since this is a misunderstanding, then I will leave. I've to trouble you to look after Shi-mei."

He understood his Shi-mei's intentions, not to mention, this was also his Shi-mei's choice. Cheng Gang knew he should not stay any longer. He cupped both his hands into a fist then bowed and with a leap, he was gone from the forest in a blink of an eye.

"Your Shi-xiong had mistakenly thought you were held captive by me and you chose this time to come to me. Is this because you wanted to protect your Shi-xiong or that you know you cannot escape me?"

His long fingers lifted her chin, his dark eyes stared sharply at the expression on her delicate face and did not miss any of her emotions. His hot breath full of anger blew on her face.

"Neither."

She raised up both arms and wrapped them around his neck. Her clear sightless eyes looked at him.

"It's just because of our agreement. Can it be Jing Wang who had always thought so highly of yourself is not confident that you can make me fall in love with you?"

"Remember what you have just said. You'd better not let me find out that you are lying to me."

His iron arms clasped her slender waist and pull her close to his body without leaving any space between them. His fiery lips swiftly seized the softness of her lips and that crazy action was like he could not wait to swallow her all at once. He only released her when she could not breathe and he murmured against her panting lips.

"From now on, I will not let you have a chance to be out of my sight."

He did not wait for her reaction. He picked up her up and carried her out of the forest followed by a worried Liu Yong.

When he saw Wang-Ye's reckless concern and fanatical possessiveness for Hai Yao, it really made him worried. He just hoped that Hai Yao's feelings for Wang-Ye is true otherwise he is afraid the whole of Dong Fang Residence will suffer a calamity.

***#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#***

The moving carriage had changed its previous slow pace, not stopping and rushing forward. Liu Yong was in charge of driving the horses and Xing Hua was sitting beside him, both had a worried expression on their faces. From time to time, they would turn their heads back towards the curtain and they could vaguely hear the anxious voice of Long Hao Tian.

"Hai Yao, you have to bear with it for a little while more. The mansion is just in front and the moment we return to the mansion, I will immediately summon an Imperial Doctor to diagnose and treat you!"

Long Hao Tian's handsome was full of worry. His dark eyes looked worriedly at the person in his arms who had suddenly developed a high fever without any reason. He could only see her beautiful little face which had become unusually fiery red and her whole body was hot. Her face was buried in the curve of his neck. A small hand was clutching the clothes on her chest as if in great pain. She was endlessly murmuring in a low voice.

"Long Hao Tian.......I'm in pain......."

She could only feel her whole body burning hot and her chest tightening which made her breathless. Now, the only person she could rely on was only him.

"I know. Hai Yao, you must hold on."

Long Hao Tian looked at her pain filled little face and his heart ached with distress for her. It was all his fault. He had forgotten about Dong Fang Tang's instructions. With her serious internal injuries, she must be carefully nursed. She could not afford to be tired and she could not catch a cold otherwise it would be more difficult for her to recover. It was thought, she was better but did not expect that these few days as they traveled on the journey, although the carriage was slow-moving, they were still not careful enough which resulted in her falling sick.

Long Hao Tian held tightly to the delicate fragile body in his arms. He wanted so much to take away her pain and suffer it on her behalf. Nothing must happen to her. When he realized the person in his arms had fainted, he became panic-stricken and shouted to Liu Yong.

"Liu Yong, go faster!"

The carriage was being driven at break-neck speed. Xing Hua who had shrunk into her seat beside Liu Yong, in front of the carriage, was already scared. Fortunately, Jing Wang Mansion was not far ahead or her heart would have failed her.

A quarter of a sichen later, the carriage stopped at the gates of Jing Wang Mansion. Long Hao Tian immediately picked up Hai Yao and got down. At the same time, he said anxiously to Liu Yong.

"Quick! Go to the Palace immediately and pass my order to summon an Imperial Doctor!"

Liu Yong received the order and in a flash, he disappeared in the direction of the Palace.

Long Hao Tian carrying Hai Yao in his arms, rushed quickly into the mansion. He ran all the way into the courtyard where he lived and along the way, he had startled many of his servants. Before they could gather their senses after being shocked by the sudden return of their Wang-Ye, they were instantly scared by the gloomy expression on his face. Automatically everyone stepped away and hid by the side.

Long Hao Tian carried Hai Yao to his own bedchamber followed by the smart Xing Hua who had already prepared a basin of cold water. She soaked the towel in the cold water then wrung some water off and the towel was immediately snatched away by Long Hao Tian. He personally placed the wet cloth on the forehead of Hai Yao.

His dark eyes looked worriedly at the person on the bed and he held her hot hands with both his palms. He felt so anxious that he did not know what else to do.

"Go and see whether the doctor is here!" He shouted at Xing Hua who was standing at the side.

"Yes."

Xing Hua was so scared by his sudden outburst that her face turned pale. She quickly escaped from the room in two steps instead of three.

"Hai Yao, you will be fine. I will not allow anything to happen to you."

His big hand stroked her unusual red cheeks. At this moment, it seems he had returned to the time when she had just fallen off the cliff. He uncertain whether she was alive or dead, he was on the edge of his nerves and he was uneasy all the time.

"Wang-Ye, Dong Fang Tang is here."

Liu Yong entered the room followed by Dong Fang Tang. When he went into the palace, unexpectedly he encountered Dong Fang Tang who was in the palace to check on the Queen. So he had quickly brought Dong Fang Tang back to the mansion.

Long Hao Tian looked at the man coming in with surprise. Instantly he stood up to give up his seat, stood to one side and watched anxiously as Dong Fang Tang checked Hai Yao's pulse.

After Dong Fang Tang had checked her pulse, his gentle face revealed a serious expression. He hurriedly removed a green porcelain bottle from the sleeves of his arm, poured out a pill and fed it into Hai Yao's mouth. Then he left the bed and walked towards the round table where a brush and paper were already prepared. He wrote down the prescription and handed it to Xing Hua who was standing at the side.

"Quickly acquire this medicine according to this prescription. Three bowls of water to be simmered down to one bowl and bring the medicine as soon as possible."

"Yes, I'll go right away."

Xing Hua took the prescription and rushed out.

"How is her condition now?"

Long Hao Tian's patience could only last until Dong Fang Tang had finished writing the prescription. He did not wait for Dong Fang Tang and took the initiative to ask.

Dong Fang Tang's expression was heavy and his eyes stared resentfully at him. He turned and walked back to the bed and looked at his younger sister whose condition had turned serious. His voice contained deep condemnation and blame.

"Wang-Ye, I remember telling you, again and again, my younger sister's present condition is not like an ordinary person. With such serious internal injuries as hers, she is lucky to be alive. Even if she recovers well it must not be taken lightly. She needs at least half a year to nurse back her health, not to suffer from cold and avoid constantly on the move. But now her small life was nearly killed by your hands. Wang-Ye, you made me regret my trust in you. If you are unable to take care of my younger sister then as an elder brother, I will have to take her away."

"Don't even think of it. Without my permission, no one can take her away. This time, it is due to my negligence. I promise this will not happen again."

The expression on Long Hao Tian's handsome face was malicious and terrifying. His lower jaw was stretched taut. In his eyes, a fierce light flashed. His tall figure stood protectively in front of the bed. If Dong Fang Tang is thinking to take her away by force then he will not hesitate to fight this out with him.

Just when the anger of the two men was on the verge of bursting, Xing Hua rushed in with quick footsteps carrying a bowl of medicine.

"Wang-Ye, the medicine is ready."

"Give it to me."

After taking over the bowl of medicine, the tall figure settled himself at the side of the bed. He lifted up the unconscious Hai Yao and let her rest in his arms. He took a mouthful of the medicine in his mouth then slowly fed her personally sip by sip. Then he turned to face Xing Hua and directly spoke to her.

"Doctor Dong Fang is tired. Take him to the guest room to rest."

Xing Hua who was standing by the side blushed and her heart beat erratically as she watched the two people on the bed. She bowed down her head in embarrassment and said to Dong Fang Tang.

"Doctor Dong Fang, please."

Dong Fang Tang frowned as he looked at the way Long Hao Tian was feeding his younger sister the medicine. His move stated clearly that Hai Yao was his and no one was allowed to take her away. This matter......it is imperative for him to ask clearly.

"Wang-Ye, it's about the marriage that the Emperor is going to bestow. What are your plans?"

"This time I rushed back because of this matter. I will ask the Emperor to decree a marriage for me and Hai Yao. In this life, except for Hai Yao, I will never marry another. Jing Wang-Fei's position belongs to her and no other."

Long Hao Tian used the hem of his sleeve to wipe the medicine stains at the corner of her lips. If it was not for this matter, she would not be affected. He lightly rested his handsome face to her still hot forehead. Once the Emperor gave his decree, she would never escape from him.

"I have just given her a Bingxin Yulu pill which can protect her heart. Now that she has taken the medicine, she will be fine when she wakes up later."

(Bingxin Yulu is just a name of the pill which literally means 'frozen heart jade dew'.)

Dong Fang Tang's gentle face was thoughtful. Once the Emperor bestows the marriage, his younger sister will belong to Long Hao Tian.

It's best not to interfere with this matter! Everything will have to wait until she wakes up.

With a turn of his heel, he left his younger sister in the personal care of Long Hao Tian and walked out of the room.

Where is this place?

Hai Yao opened her eyes, looked at the exquisite carvings on the roof of the bed and the masculine and extraordinary furnishings all around the room. Her confused gaze finally fell on the tall man who was sitting at the side of the bed in a deep sleep.

Did he look after her the whole night?

As a Wang-Ye, why didn't he order a maid to take care of her? Instead, he had personally taken care of her and made himself so tired?

She looked at his tired handsome face, she recalled the time he brought her back to Yan Yun Pavilion and he took meticulous care of her including the numerous times that the two of them had soaked together completely naked in the hot spring pool.

He said.....initially he had just wanted her until in the end, involuntarily he had fallen in love with her.

He said.....he was very happy she was alive.

He said.....she was destined to be his Jing Wang-Fei in this life and don't even think of escaping.

And she.......now she had to ask herself.......does she really want to escape?

Her little hand lightly touched his face. The next instant her hand was caught by his hand and a pair of sharp black eyes opened. Long Hao Tian in his deep sleep had a strange feeling and suddenly woke up. He did not expect what he had unconsciously caught hold of, was her hand and the person on the bed was watching him with her clear bright eyes.

"You are awake."

Long Hao Tian was overjoyed. His big hands carefully stroked her delicate cheeks and his black eyes studied her excitedly.

"Do you feel discomfort anywhere?"

"You have stayed by my side taking care of me all this while?"

His emotional joyous expression made her heart suddenly heaved like a big wave and at this very moment, she realized she did not want to escape anymore.

"Hai Yao, your eyes......"

The eyes of Long Hao Tian sparked with lights. With surprise, he looked at her clear bright eyes which were watching him intently, no longer without focus. Her eyes were able to focus again.

"That's correct. I am able to see again."

She used both her hands to support herself so she could sit up and the next moment, her delicate fragile body was embraced by a pair of iron arms. She was hugged into a broad chest, her pointed chin was also lifted and her eyes met a pair of fiery hot eyes.

"Your eyes have really healed."

Long Hao Tian's eyes were like torches, staring straight into her eyes, repeatedly confirming that her eyes were really with expressions then only was he rest assured.

The crystal clear, bright eyes looked with interest at the ecstasy revealed in his eyes. Her beautiful little face lifted into a smile and jokingly asked.

"How long are you going to look at me? I'm hungry. Can you let me eat first? Later you can look at me for as long as you want."

He was surprised for a moment. Black eyes stared into her eyes deeply, his face revealed a look of pampering and his big hand caressed her pale face as he said in a low voice.

"This is what you said. When you are full, you are to let me look at you as long as I desire."

Hai Yao's bright eyes showed a little restraint but she still smiled without speaking. She had long got accustomed to his intimate touch.

"Servants come!"

Long Hao Tian did not want to leave the person in his arms even for a moment so he shouted loudly for his servants outside.

Once he shouted out, Liu Yong hurried in. He thought something had happened but when he saw the two people embracing each other on the bed, he was surprised.

"Immediately order the kitchen to prepare some medicinal food* and bring it in. At the same time, send someone to summon Dong Fang Tang."

(Medicinal food means restricted foods either mixed with medicine or herbs or just plain food that can be eaten by a patient on a diet according to a doctor's advice)

Liu Yong nodded his head and glanced at the two people before he quickly left.

"Is Third Elder Brother also here?"

Hai Yao's eyes instantly lighted up and looked at him in surprise.

"Why do you feel so happy? It was only a mere two weeks ago that you last met him. The feelings between you and your siblings are exceptionally good."

Long Hao Tian expression dissatisfaction in his dark eyes and the smile on her face made him deeply displeased.

"Actually Wang-Ye, are you jealous?"

She deliberately widened her pair of bright eyes, there was a slight smile on her beautiful face and her voice was full of interest.

"That's right. I tolerated him because he is your elder brother but you must remember.....you are not to smile at other men in this way and that also includes Cheng Gang."

He straight away admitted and also warned her at the same time. It was best for herself and other people that she does not test his bottom line otherwise he will not guarantee what he will do.

Suddenly hurried footsteps could be heard outside. The door was pushed open and a tall shadow entered.

"Third Elder Brother!" As soon as she saw him, she called out happily.

"Younger Sister.......are you able to see?"

The two brother and sister locked eyes with each other. The corners of Dong Fang Tang's lips curved into a smile and he strode towards the bed.

Long Hao Tian narrowed his eyes and slowly released the person in his arms. Long Hao Tian stood up to let Dong Fang Tang take the seat so that he could check on her.

Dong Fang Tang finished taking her pulse and checked on the lump behind her head. Then he said with satisfaction.

"Congratulations, Sister. The swollen lump at the back of your head had subsided."

"Third Elder Brother, why are you also here?"

During the time when the brother and sister were having a conversation, Liu Yong came in from outside and whispered into the ear of Long Hao Tian. Then his face sank and he looked towards Hai Yao.

"Hai Yao, I've some matters to attend to and I've to go out. Wait for me to come back."

He walked forward and held out his hands to touch her delicate cheeks. His dark eyes stared at her for a long time before he reluctantly left, followed closely by Liu Yong.

"Third Elder Brother, what had happened? The look on Long Hao Tian's face is a bit weird."

She had noticed that when Liu Yong had whispered something into Long Hao Tian's ear, his face had changed. What had actually happened?

Dong Fang Tang looked at her frowned and the worry on her face. He sighed. Perhaps the worries he harbored previously were superfluous.

"Do you know why he rushed back to the palace this time?"

"I know. Shi-xiong had told me the Emperor is going to decree him a marriage."

"Then according to you, will Long Hao Tian accept it?" Dong Fang Tang's eyes were firmly set on her.

"No." Her eyes slightly restrained, she said with confidence.

"You really understand him well. This time he is going to the palace to prevent the Emperor from decreeing the marriage. In addition to that, the most important thing is, he is going to ask the Emperor to decree him a marriage with you."

It seems it was impossible that his younger sister does not have any affection for Long Hao Tian. Just their ability to read each other's mind was already an indication and this matter could be concluded.

"What? Decree a marriage?!"

She was dumbstruck! Words of praise could only be said about Long Hao Tian's style of handling this matter. Did this mean all her paths of retreat would be severed? She already knew he would never let her go but this move was too ruthless. Although she acknowledged her feelings for him, that aside, she did not want to get married so early.

"Younger Sister, you have to tell me honestly. What are your feelings for Long Hao Tian? If you really don't want to marry him, I can take you away from here this instant."

If she really did not want to marry Long Hao Tian, then it would mean that from now onward they would offend him. No matter how, they, the three brothers would use all possible means to protect their sister and keep her far away from Long Hao Tian.

"Even if it meant Dong Fang Family would incur a sentence of extermination?"

The words of Long Hao Tian still rang in her ear. She could not afford to gamble.

"Don't you believe in the abilities of us, three brothers? Even if we are forced to escape, we will never sacrifice anyone in Dong Fang Family."

This point, she believes her three brothers still have this ability. Now it is up to her to decide.

Tears gathered in her eyes and she was moved by the determination shown on her Third Elder Brother's face. His reassuring words were enough for her.

"Third Elder Brother, I was the one who started this problem, I don't want anyone from Dong Fang Residence to get into trouble because of me. Furthermore, the present I, don't want to leave his side."

She had lost this challenge. She had fallen in love with this arrogant man.

She strongly suspects that even if she is unable to fall in love with him in the end.......it is unlikely for him to let her go.

After all, from the very beginning, this man had already shown clearly he would never let her go.

"Younger Sister, you have fallen in love with him."

It was as he had expected. This was also good. He could leave his younger sister in Long Hao Tian's care and they, the three brothers can be assured of her safety.

"Yes, I have fallen in love with him."

Her elegant exquisite face lighted up with a smile. For the first time, she admitted to herself, her true feelings for him.

"You are whole-heartedly willing to be Jing Wang-Fei?" He had to reaffirm to ensure she was not forced.

"Yes, I am willing."

Hai Yao sighed with a wry smile. She had wanted to travel and roam over all parts of the country, live the beautiful dreams of traveling from north to south but from now on all her dreams would drift far away.

"Since this is your decision, then we will not say anything again......as long as you are happy."

Actually, Dong Fang Tang silently breathed a sigh of relief. From now on, this hot potato would be tossed to Long Hao Tian for him to worry. The three brothers' responsibility for her could finally be put down and this piece of good news must quickly be relayed to the other two brothers.

"Third Elder Brother, don't think I don't know what the three of you are thinking. In your hearts, you must be feeling very happy, especially Eldest Brother. Not only did you succeed in getting me to return to my original female status, you also no longer have to worry about me ......two birds with one stone, isn't that correct?"

She snorted. She had long known about the thoughts of her three elder brothers but she was still thankful for their concern.

After all, they have such a younger sister who constantly gets into trouble and it is no wonder the three of them frequently get headaches.

"It is good that you understand."

Dong Fang Tang lovingly caressed her soft silky black hair and suddenly he had a thought. He prudently cautioned her.

"After you have fully recovered from your injuries, take a trip home with Long Hao Tian. Everyone is very worried about you. There is one thing you still don't know yet. Your little life could be saved thanks to the fact your Second Sister-in-law told us beforehand. Otherwise, I could not happen to be there to save your life at that precise time."

It turned out that Dong Fang Ao's wife, Cao Zi Yun had the ability to foretell misfortunes. Cao Zi Yun was originally fated not to live past the age of 19 years old but fortunately, she met Dong Fang Ao. Relying on the accumulated benevolence of Dong Fang Family's ancestors and blessed with great fortunes, she was able to save someone's life. However, from that time henceforth, she lost the ability to foretell disasters.

But this time, Cao Zi Yun did not know why she had a recurring nightmare three nights in succession. In the dreams, she saw the same place with Hai Yao at the brink of death and in her heart, she knew it was a sign. Then she insisted Dong Fang Tang make the trip and did not expect he would actually save Hai Yao in time.

"It seems that I have to offer my gratitude and thanks to Second Sister-in-law."

After hearing that, in addition to being surprised, she also remembered what the fortune teller in Gang Ling City had said. It seems she really had escaped a calamity.

Knock! Knock! A sound came from outside the door and then the door was pushed open. Walking in front was a beautiful woman in a yellow satin skirt followed by Xing Hua who was carrying the medicinal food for Hai Yao.

"You look so much alike. Are you really Dong Fang Jie's twin sister?"

Long Qian Qi learned that her Elder Brother had carried a girl back yesterday and she was placed in his bedchamber. All this while, she did not get a chance to come in and have a look. It was not easy for her to wait until her Elder Brother had left before she could quickly rush over to see for herself.

As Long Qian Qi studied the familiar face in front of her, she could not help but think of Dong Fang Jie who had died after falling down the cliff. She moved forward, came to stand in front of the bed and carefully looked at Hai Yao's face. She is indeed exquisitely beautiful and she also has that gentle disposition that will make all men in the world rise up to protect. So it is no wonder her Elder Brother had fallen so deeply in love with her.

"Greetings to Jun Zhu." Dong Fang Tang got up and cupped his hands in respect.

"Is Dong Fang Jie really dead?"

Long Qian Qi looked at the two people back and forth and finally rested her eyes on Hai Yao's face. Even if the news of Dong Fang Jie's death had spread all over the country, she was still unwilling to believe the rumors. She had to get a firm answer from them before she would accept the fact.

"That's correct. Fourth Younger Brother is really dead."

Dong Fang Tang threw a reproaching glance at the person on the bed. This is also a woman who liked his younger sister in a man's disguise. Thus, it was right that she should revert to her original female self as soon as possible to avoid letting more people be harmed.

Hai Yao had to face the reproaching expression on her Third Elder Brother's face and could only sigh deeply in her heart.

He looked at the sadness on Long Qian Qi's face and did not know what to say.

When Long Qian Qi heard the answer she had expected, she was visibly dejected. The next instant, she quickly gathered herself and displayed her spirited concern for Hai Yao's illness.

"Doctor Dong Fang, what happened to her? I heard Xing Hua said she had serious internal injuries. In the first few months, she was also blind. Who actually had caused this, such a heartless person who is able to commit such a malicious act on a girl?"

Since she is Dong Fang Jie's younger sister and also the woman that her Elder Brother loves, that will most likely mean Hai Yao will be her future sister-in-law. So it is right that she should show more concern for Hai Yao.

"Thank you for your concern. My younger sister was pushed off the cliff by a thief which resulted in her serious injuries."

When Dong Fang Tang told this lie, his face did not change color, his breathing calm, his expression at ease and his eyes showed such honesty that did not provoke the slightest suspicion.

"Thank you Jun Zhu for your concern. It doesn't matter, I'm fine now."

In her heart, Hai Yao really admired the gentle and harmless appearance of her Third Elder Brother. If he really wants to lie to anyone, she is afraid the person will not only obediently believe him but also may come back to thank him.

"What do you mean 'it doesn't matter'?! Xing Hua had already told me, you had one foot in hell.......how can you say 'it doesn't matter'? Was the thief caught?"

Long Qian Qi listened with indignation. She wished she could slash the wicked man a thousand slashes to revenge for her.

"That thief had been caught. Thank you for Jun Zhu's concern."

This Long Qian Qi is really a straightforward child. Hai Yao involuntarily felt a guilty feeling rose within her.

"Jun Zhu, you should not question anymore. It's time for Lady's meal."

Xing Hua carefully carried the bowl of ginseng porridge to the front of the bed. Hai Yao thanked her, stretched out her graceful hands to take the bowl and then slowly sipped each spoonful.

Long Qian Qi paced back and forth in front of the bed, slanted her head in deep thought and looked at her.

"How should I greet you in future?"

She looked around her Elder Brother's bedchamber and the bed Hai Yao was sitting on now. She knew her Elder Brother had never allowed any woman to sleep on his bed before but for Hai Yao, he had made an exception.

"I will just call you......Sister-in-law!"

Long Qian Qi clasped her two hands together in happiness. Anyway, Hai Yao will sooner or later be a member of their Long Family, so greeting her this way now or later, makes no difference.

Ke! Ke! (cough*)

A string of violent coughs sounded.

"Younger Sister, are you alright?" Dong Fang Tang rushed over to her and stroked her back to soothe her breathing.

"Lady, are you okay?"

Xing Hua quickly took away Hai Yao's bowl of porridge and looked at her with worry.

Standing at the side looking at the three people, Long Qian Qi's eyes flashed with a streak of stubbornness. She believes her Elder Brother will be very happy if she greets Hai Yao this way.
