Wei Qingge frowned, "Hmm?"
Ye Luan smiled, "Li Qiongyu was severely injured by someone, are you kidding me?"
"It's true. That lunatic Li Jingren sent people to kidnap me and wanted to kill Li Qiongyu. If Ye Yu and the others hadn't arrived later, we wouldn't have been able to get out."
Hearing her words, Ye Luan paused her hand holding the grapes and narrowed her eyes slightly.
It was truly strange.
Since Li Qiongyu liked Qingge so much, why hadn't he found that pervert even after Qingge had encountered that incident in Yan Prefecture?
With his influence, it was impossible that he couldn't find him.
Ye Luan's mind suddenly connected all the previous events.
Yan Prefecture, Yanbei, the boat cabin in Jiangzhou!
A bold thought suddenly popped into her mind, startling her.
Good heavens, it couldn't be.
"A'Luan, what are you thinking about?"
Ye Luan suddenly snapped back to reality. Seeing the charming and innocent little face in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine. She licked her lips, unable to speak.
If she guessed correctly, Li Qiongyu was even more terrifying than Tantai Ye.
He was good at disguise and knew when to advance and retreat.
How could Qingge, with her straightforward personality, contend with him? She would be completely taken advantage of, yet still happily consider him a good person.
Ye Luan couldn't help but cover her forehead and close her eyes.
She was truly shocked by her own thoughts.
She had known Li Qiongyu for a long time. He appeared harmless on the surface, always looking carefree and easy to get along with.
Who knew that his true face was nothing like what he showed?
"Qingge, tell me everything that happened to you these past two days in detail."
Wei Qingge was puzzled but briefly recounted what happened.
Mostly, she was confused herself, often being knocked unconscious, which left Ye Luan even more bewildered.
"A'Luan, what are you trying to say?"
Ye Luan's voice brought her back.
She didn't rashly voice her thoughts.
After all, she wasn't sure yet, and it would be too unfair to label someone without proof.
"Nothing."
Upon hearing this, Wei Qingge leaned on the table, absently playing with her cup. The scenes from just now kept flashing in her mind, making her thoughts a tangled mess.
Li Qiongyu actually liked her, and even kissed her--
He kissed her--
Ah---Shameless.
As she thought about it, Wei Qingge felt even more irritated. She couldn't be bothered to think about it anymore and changed the subject.
"By the way, A'Luan, Mu Rou still hasn't woken up. Will she die?"
Hearing this, Ye Luan's delicate hand paused, and she sighed.
"She's getting weaker. I'm afraid she won't make it."
Lan Murou's body was indeed getting weaker. The Tantai family had invited Old Ghost, who had been staying at the General's mansion for several days, but he was also helpless.
However, Old Ghost's medical skills were quite advanced. He had used some method to stabilize Lan Murou's body, but she still hadn't woken up.
"A great calamity, fate, it's all fate."
After so long, the person still hadn't woken up.
Tantai Ye was going crazy. He looked extremely suppressed, his eyes bloodshot.
He heard Old Ghost's words and asked hoarsely, "What do you mean?"
Old Ghost didn't speak. He packed his medical kit and slowly walked out.
"I'll remind you, the two of you have a great calamity in your fate. If you can't overcome it, you will both die. Everything is up to fate, do not force it."
Both will die?!
Everyone standing in the room changed their expressions upon hearing this.
The old madam sitting nearby immediately darkened her face. This woman was truly a disaster for their Tantai family.
Tantai Lie saw Old Ghost about to leave and quickly stopped him, asking.
"Old Ghost, when will she wake up?"
The wedding day was fast approaching, and if she remained unconscious, where would the Tantai family's dignity be placed!
Old Ghost paused and stroked his beard.
"I have already sealed her heart脉 with golden needles and done my best to preserve her life. However, her body is already exhausted, and she has no will to live. Perhaps she will slumber forever."
Hearing this, everyone was disappointed.
Tantai Ye sat by the bed, looking at the increasingly emaciated woman on the couch. He sneered, and his dark phoenix eyes flickered with endless, cold despair.
Madame Yue Hua looked at her son radiating death energy and felt a sense of unease.
"You heard him, even Old Ghost can't do anything. She won't wake up. Are you really determined to marry a living dead person?!"
"Living dead?!"
Tantai Ye muttered the words under his breath.
Suddenly, with a bang, the flower stand was kicked over, the loud noise being terrifying in the silent room.
Everyone was greatly alarmed and looked at him in fear.
Tantai Ye glanced sideways. His face was smiling, but it was a chilling smile.
"She is not dead."
As he spoke, he slowly turned his head to look at the person on the couch, his voice eerie.
"She will live, and she will accompany me for all eternity."
Tantai Lie felt a chill run down his spine from his tone. Recalling the incident where he had caused a scene in the ancestral hall that day, he forced himself to endure it, flicked his robe, and left in anger.
What an unfilial son, truly an unfilial son.
"A'Ye--"
Tantai Ye didn't want to see them, nor did he want to hear their voices. He interrupted.
"Go back to the ancestral house. Don't come here again."
Hearing his indifferent voice, Madame Yue Hua's hands turned pale. Seeing the old madam about to scold him, she quickly stopped her.
"Mother, let's go back to the mansion first. The wedding day is approaching, and there are many matters to attend to in the mansion."
The old madam, angered, walked out, leaning on her cane, and chuckled coldly, "The wedding?! Our Tantai family is about to stage a joke for the capital city, a joke unprecedented in history."
The others followed behind, silently not daring to speak.
Tantai Ye seemed not to hear the old lady's anger, leaning by the bed and indifferently looking at the person on the couch.
The room fell silent.
He sat by the couch quietly for a long time.
After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly leaned over, picked up the person on the couch, and walked towards the bathroom behind them.
Tantai Ye had never served anyone in his life, but since Lan Murou fell into a coma, he had taken care of all her affairs meticulously and without complaint.
Minor tasks like bathing had become second nature.
He took off his clothes and carried her directly into the bathtub.
Her body was smooth and delicate, soft and boneless in his embrace.
Tantai Ye used a cloth to wipe her soft body inch by inch, and washed her jet-black hair with fragrant water.
She showed no emotion, lying quietly in his arms, without any response.
He lowered his eyes to look at her clean and beautiful features, and gently kissed her forehead.
The torment of the past few days had made his features increasingly stern and terrifying. Even when looking at her, the deep, cold stillness could not be masked.
Yet, his movements were extremely gentle, creating a strange and dissonant feeling.
"Rou'er, it's okay if you don't want to wake up. I will come to find you."
