The Cold Wife's Domineering Marriage

The precious princess they treasured in the palm of their hands was now lying there, barely hanging onto life, devoid of any vitality; if they hadn't promptly opened the door to her room, their treasure might have truly vanished forever!

If it weren't for fear that Xixi would feel distressed and heartbroken upon awakening, he would have already gone to settle the score with Qi Yuanfeng! Even if he didn't beat him until he cried for his parents, he would make sure Yuanfeng took his surname!

"I don't have such a good brother!" Leng Yichen hissed in a low voice.

Previously, because Xixi liked him and wanted to earn his affection through her own efforts, Leng Yichen could turn a blind eye to Yuanfeng's indifferent attitude towards her, which didn't affect the brotherly bond they had cultivated since childhood.

But this time, what he did was too much, not only intentionally bringing one woman after another to provoke Xixi but also allowing his woman to mock and insult Xixi without intervening. What kind of trash was that woman, anyway? Merely by virtue of her existence, she wasn't even worthy to be compared to a single hair on their Xixi, let alone have the audacity to speak, even insultingly, to their treasure.

From now on, he no longer had such a brother! If it hadn't been for his absence that day, he never would have allowed Xixi to suffer such humiliation.

"I'm stepping out for a bit; let me know when Xixi wakes up." Not waiting for Leng Yilei to respond, Leng Yichen casually tossed his jacket over his shoulder, and his figure quickly disappeared down the corridor.

Looking down the hallway where his brother had vanished, Leng Yilei stood up and walked towards Ling Xi's hospital room.

Considering Leng Yichen's temperament, the fact that he could endure this long before seeking that person was already quite an accomplishment! Although he couldn't go and beat someone up himself, helping Leng Yichen keep it concealed wasn't a problem at all, huh! Hehe!

…

In the hospital room.

Everyone gathered around the bed, staring intensely at Ling Xi's pale, bloodless face, unable to help the sourness welling up in their eyes.

They couldn't believe their treasure would resort to such extremes, even attempting to slit her wrists! Did she know how heartbroken they would be to see her so careless with her own life?

It was only by a hair's breadth, just a little bit, and they would have lost her!

Clinging tightly to Ling Xi's hand, Qin Shiya dared not blink for fear that her treasure would vanish from before her eyes.

Her fingers twitched slightly, and Ling Xi's eyes "swooshed" open, a piercing glint flashing across them; but the next second, the acrid smell of disinfectant invading her nostrils made her brow furrow slightly.

Where was she…?

Gradually, the blurry focus before her eyes cleared, and Ling Xi stared blankly at the crowd that rushed to her bedside, bewildered.

She… she really came back to life? She survived in place of Xixi!

The next second, Ling Xi was enveloped in an immensely warm embrace.

"Xixi, my Xixi, you've finally woken up, you scared Mom to death!" Clutching Ling Xi, Qin Shiran's tears suddenly fell.

She really...really thought she was about to lose her treasure!

Thank goodness! It truly was divine intervention! Her most precious treasure was still here! Still here!

Submissively nestling in her mother's warm embrace, Ling Xi's eyes began to blur with tears, her phoenix eyes gradually misting with traces of moisture.

"Mommy."

Leaning into Qin Shiran's embrace, Ling Xi called out softly, her voice choked with emotion.

So this is what a mother's embrace feels like? It truly…so warm!

Finally, she also had… a mother!
