Later, when she truly became worried, guessing that she might have taken Rong Mu to the hospital, she searched several hospitals but found no one. In her anxious state, coupled with her concern for Rong Mu, she rushed to Dark Night only to discover the police had arrived. From the onlookers, she learned that there had been quite a commotion inside earlier, with alarms and fights that seemed quite serious. Some people even said that stretchers had carried out two or three individuals. She was not sure about Rong Yanâs situation and couldnât contact anyone, so she⦠called Li Shengxiao.
After she finally got through to Rong Yanâs phone, she found out that Rong Yan was fine, and she regretted not staying calm at that moment.
âMr. Li hasnât gone back yet?â Gu Linxi was still not at ease about Rong Yan, âShould I come over and keep you company?â
Rong Yan hadnât expected Gu Linxi to actually call Li Shengxiao; she had originally wanted to keep the whole matter a secret.
However, as painful as it was, she knew Gu Linxi was worried about her, which is why in a moment of urgency, she had called that man.
âHe hasnât come back yet. No need, Iâll give him a call and ask where he is. By the way, Xixi, how long ago did you make that call?â
âAbout forty minutes ago.â
Forty minutes?
Strange, she didnât have any missed calls from Li Shengxiao on her phone.
After speaking with Gu Linxi for a few more sentences, Rong Yan hung up the phone, hesitated for a moment, then dialed Li Shengxiaoâs number.
The call connected quickly, but no one answered.
She tried once more, and the situation repeated itself.
No answer to the connected call.
âCould he have not seen it?â Rong Yan wasnât sure if it was a missed call or if he was angry.
After some thought, she went back to the living room, looked down, and sent a message.
â¦
At Kangfei Hospital, Rong Nanfengâs face was flushed red with fury and frustration, as he incredulously stared at the man who arrived with a cold aura. Under the manâs domineering presence, Rong Nanfeng managed only after a great effort to force out a question through clenched teeth, âWhat does Mr. Li mean? Is he asking me to sever ties with my daughter?â
Li Shengxiaoâs gaze was colder and more intimidating than ever before, constricted and aggressive, âYes.â
Rong Nanfeng found it utterly absurd, âYanâer is my own daughter. I admit, I was a bit impulsive in this matter, but I had no ill intentions. I was just worried⦠I am grateful that Yanâer helped me take Mu out. I will compensate her. Isnât Mr. Liâs direct request for me to sever ties with Yanâer a bit too much?â
Rong Nanfeng had indeed begun to see Rong Yan in a new light, feeling grateful and somewhat guilty towards her for taking Rong Mu out.
So when Li Shengxiao showed up, Rong Nanfengâs first reaction was not to comply with his demands, but reluctance.
Li Shengxiao didnât care to know what he was thinking, looking at him indifferently, standing there casually yet exuding an oppressive aura, âI donât want to give you any more chances. Mr. Rong just needs to remember my demand, starting today, do not reach out to her for any reason. Similarly, unless absolutely necessary, do not appear in front of her again!â
Rong Nanfeng couldnât accept it, âYanâer is my daughter, sheâ¦â
âShe is not!â Li Shengxiaoâs dark eyes, hawk-like, pinned him down, his lips barely parting in a perfect expression of cold possession, âShe is mine!â
âShe belongs to no one else, sheâs mine exclusively!â
ââ¦â Rong Nanfeng gaped at him as if he had seen a ghost.
What did this mean, even if the two were dating, such possessiveness was surely going overboard!
The imposing man looked down at him with icy cold eyes, his tone merciless as he said, âIf Mr. Rong does not want the Rong family to vanish from Capital City, feel free to test my limits again!â
