Hai Xiaotang has a simple persona. Especially her eyes, clear and innocent, not a naivety born of ignorance of the world. Rather, it comes from a wisdom gained through the voyage of a thousand sails, her heart steadfastly retaining an element of simplicity and innocence.
Who wouldnât fancy a woman with her heart forever unstained like a young maiden?
Thatâs why Dongfang Yu likes her so much, and she gets it.
Still, there is a sting of regret in her heartâ¦
Wen Yue put down her coffee cup, smilingly asking, âDo you know what I want to talk with you about?â
Hai Xiaotang shook her head: âI donât know.â
âWhat I want to discuss with you is about Dongfang.â
Hai Xiaotang nodded, âI guessed as much. But what do you want to tell me?â
âFor the past few years, I have been with Dongfang!â Wen Yue stated bluntly.
Hai Xiaotang was taken aback, not expecting her to say this.
Doubts flooded her heart, why would she spend all that time with Dongfang Yu?
After a single glance, Wen Yue knew she was completely oblivious.
âYou probably donât know, Dongfang has been on the brink of life and death for several years.â
This time, Hai Xiaotang was shocked!
ââ¦What are you saying?â
âYou really have no ideaâ¦â Wen Yue laughed bitterly, âHe has protected you too well, not even telling you this much.â
âMiss Wen, what on earth is going on?!â Hai Xiaotang demanded impatiently, âSpeak clearly, what happened to Dongfang Yu?! Why has he been on the brink of life and death?â
Wen Yue nodded solemnly, âI came here today, to tell you everything.â
Then she said directly: âYou know, donât you, that Dongfang came so close to dying during the time he was framed for colluding with our Wen Family to plot a rebellion?â
Hai Xiaotang nodded: âI knowâ¦â
Wen Yue shook her head: âYou only know that he was near death, yet you donât know how critical the situation was? He took two bullets, one to the chest, and do you know where the other one hit?â
Immediately, Hai Xiaotang had a bad feeling, her face turned paler.
ââ¦Where?â She asked nervously.
Wen Yue pointed to her head, âRight here!â
âWhat did you say?!â Hai Xiaotangâs eyes widened in disbelief, she was stunned!
Why would it be his brainâ¦
âRight here. At the time, both shots should have been fatal, but he was fortunate â the bullet in his brain didnât take his life instantly. You canât imagine what a miracle it was when he survived â yet survive he did, and for so longâ¦â
As Wen Yue paused her narrative, she noticed Hai Xiaotangâs face had turned ashen, her eyes filled with tears!@@novelbin@@
The look of boundless horror in her eyes made it seem almost as if the moment of Dongfang Yu being shot was replaying before her.
Hai Xiaotang was oblivious to Dongfang Yuâs close brush with death! She also didnât know that he hid it all from her, never saying a word!
When she thought about him teetering on the brink of life and death every day, her ignorance made her feel terrible, so much pain she could hardly bear!
Dongfang Yu, why didnât you tell me anythingâ¦
Why did you bear all of this silently, on your own?
Wen Yue suddenly handed her a tissue, âMiss Hai, are you okay?â
Trembling, Hai Xiaotang asked: âHow about now, is the bullet still lodged in his brain?â
Wen Yue shook her head: âIt has been taken out, he is fine now.â
