Lan Yanxi was just about to reach the last few steps when she heard Lieutenant Chu's words. She missed a step and almost fell down, causing Lieutenant Chu to break out in cold sweat, she immediately extended her hand to support her, but felt that something was amiss. Luckily, Lan Yanxi had a good sense of balance, she steadied her balance and looked at Chu Lie in surprise: "Really? Where is she? I'll go and see her. Is she hurt? "
Lan Yanxi asked a few questions consecutively and stopped Chu Lie. Before Chu Lie could reply, Lan Yanxi had already run to a room on the first floor. When she went in, she saw Cheng Yuan asleep on the bed with the liquid still flowing from the back of her hand.
"Cheng Yuan!" Lan Yanxi's footsteps immediately became lighter. She walked and squatted in front of Lan Yanxi, feeling surprised and happy at the same time.
Cheng Yuan's face was pale, her lips were bloodless, and she looked extremely weak. It was as if no one dared to wake her up.
Chu Lie stood at the door and watched. His face was full of pain and worry.
Lan Yanxi didn't wake Cheng Yuan, she just turned around and walked out of the living room with red eyes. She took a deep breath and steadied her voice, "Where did you find her? There seem to be many small wounds on her body.
Chu Lie shook his head. "These wounds should have been left by her when she was ru
ing for her life. We found her under the cliff by the sea."
"Oh my god!" Lan Yanxi was heartbroken. Cheng Yuan had been lying by the sea for a day and a night in such a cold winter. How did she survive this?
"However, she's only freezing. She should wake up after being nourished a little. Nothing will happen to her, so Miss Lan doesn't need to worry too much!" When Chu Lie saw Lan Yanxi's remorseful and sad expression, he immediately comforted her softly.
"Those bastards are simply inhuman, how can they hurt Cheng Yuan like this? They deserve to die! " Lan Yanxi's heart was now filled with hatred towards the people who tried to harm Cheng Yuan.
"You're right, they deserve to die. In their eyes, human lives are worthless, but because their hearts are black, they are worried that if they don't get the support of the people, they will use all sorts of sinister methods behind their backs. However, this society still has fairness and justice, so they won't be complacent for too long." Chu Lie also hated it, he really wanted to wrench the old bastard's head off and kick him like a ball. Was it only his life that mattered? How can a grass plant not survive?
"Chu Lie, luckily you came. Cheng Yuan only managed to survive!" Lan Yanxi sighed softly, finally feeling relieved.
He personally admitted that he was ordered by the old president to get close to you. His goal was very shameless, and wanted you to like him so that you could wear a green hat for Mr. Vice President. Furthermore, he wanted to use this opportunity to probe out your relationship with him! Chu Lie told Qiao Zhuo's evil intention to Lan Yanxi, Lan Yanxi was stu
ed.
"Is he really someone from the old president?" Before, she was only guessing, not sure, but now, Lan Yanxi was covered in cold sweat. She didn't expect Qiao Zhuo to do such a shameless thing to her. She really didn't want to look at him anymore.
"Don't worry Miss Lan, we have already severely punished this villain. He probably won't have the chance to hurt you again in the future." Chu Lie immediately comforted her.
"What did you do to him?" Lan Yanxi asked curiously.
"It's nothing. I just shaved off his self-righteous face and gave him another beating to let him remember not to hurt anyone else." Chu Lie smiled mockingly.
Lan Yanxi didn't say anything after she finished listening. This kind of punishment shouldn't be too severe for Qiao Zhuo. It was necessary for him to remember. Otherwise, if he harbored any evil intentions, he would hurt even more i
ocent women in the future.
Cheng Yuan woke up at noon. When she opened her eyes, she saw Chu Lie and Lan Yanxi beside him. She couldn't help but smile.
"Cheng Yuan, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" Shall I ask the doctor to show you? " When Lan Yanxi saw that she had woken up, she immediately started to care about her.
"I'm fine, I feel much better. Yanxi, are you hurt? I'm worried about you too! " Cheng Yuan looked worried, because she really wanted to inform Lan Yanxi that she was safe. However, her situation didn't allow her to do that, so she expressed her deep regret.
"Aren't I fine? You don't have to worry about me. Oh right, you talk to Lieutenant Chu, I'll go out first! " Lan Yanxi tactfully left the two of them with the space instead of being a light bulb.
"Hey, Yanxi ??" Cheng Yuan wanted to keep her, but Lan Yanxi walked out with big steps without turning back.
Chu Lie sat on a chair on the side, with a military posture, he said with concern: "Do you really feel uncomfortable anywhere? "Don't try to show off. You're very weak right now, so it's not the right time for you to do so!"
Chu Lie asked Cheng Yuan seriously because he knew she was a tough woman.
"I'm really fine now!" Cheng Yuan's physique had always been good, but now that she had lost the liquid and recovered her strength, it was clear to see that she was not weak at all.
"Do you know who made you fall?" Chu Lie asked in a deep voice.
Cheng Yuan shook her head. "I've never seen those people before. They are all foreigners. The taxi driver is dead and the car has sunk to the bottom of the sea. I am lucky to have my life back. Thank you for saving me. I will remember this favor."
"Mr. Vice President was worried about you too, so he sent me over to help. Since you and the Miss Lan are safe and sound, I can finally report back to you." Although Chu Lie acted like he was doing business, he still looked at Cheng Yuan with more affection.
Seeing his serious expression, Cheng Yuan suddenly thought of something. She lowered her head and smiled.
"What are you laughing at?" Chu Lie's face froze for a second.
"Do you remember what you said at the foot of the cliff? Does it count as one? " Cheng Yuan's pale face flushed red. She bit her lower lip and asked shyly.
"I ??" He thought that no one else could hear him, even if they could. But now, Cheng Yuan had asked him a question, and he felt that his face was very thick, but it was still very red from embarrassment.
"Forget it, I actually didn't hear it clearly. If you are in a difficult situation, then I won't bring it up." Cheng Yuan was indeed a reasonable and good girl. Seeing Chu Lie's embarrassed face, she immediately decided to give up.
Chu Lie looked at her in shock. Of course, he wasn't someone who wouldn't keep his word. However, even if he wanted to be responsible, it wasn't something that he could do alone.
"Lieutenant Chu, I'm already very lucky to be able to survive. I don't dare to ask for anything else, so don't make things too difficult for me, just take it as a joke." When Cheng Yuan saw the man sitting upright in front of her turn red from embarrassment, she also felt pressured.
"This is not a joke. Cheng Yuan, what I said was definitely not empty words. Since I said that I would marry you, I will definitely marry you. However ?? Would you like to be my girlfriend? " When Chu Lie finished his sentence, his momentum weakened and his voice also became softer.
Cheng Yuan had just woken up when she heard the man's sincere confession. She was so shocked that she couldn't speak. Joy surged through her heart, causing her to hold her breath.
"This isn't a joke is it?" Cheng Yuan asked in disbelief.
Chu Lie shook his head and firmly replied, "Of course not."
"Was that a dream?" Cheng Yuan still couldn't believe the surprise. After a moment, she stretched out her arm and said, "Quick, pinch me!"
Chu Lie couldn't help but laugh as he looked at her silly look. However, he did not pinch her arm. Instead, he leaned over and quickly kissed her forehead.
"Do you still think this is a dream?" Chu Lie laughed. He never expected her to be so cute.
Cheng Yuan widened her eyes. The warmth from the man's lips seemed to still remain on her forehead. It was only after a long time did she finally accept this beautiful reality.
"Alright, stop daydreaming. I'll get someone to make you something to eat!" Chu Lie was also very shy. After kissing her, he felt a bit u
atural and could only turn around and leave.
Only then did Cheng Yuan's breathing calm down as the corners of her mouth curled up. She suddenly felt that living was a wonderful thing.
There was a mirror beside her, and Cheng Yuan stretched out her hand to take it. She wanted to see the happiness on her face.
However, she saw a woman with a disheveled appearance and bruises all over her face. There was no need to mention how ugly she was.
Cheng Yuan's mind exploded. Chu Lie actually confessed to her face?
