Chapter 856: I Used to Be Really Fierce
Li Xuanyu was a bit upset and said, "Can't I come to see you just because I'm not busy?"
Yang Fei quickly said, "Of course you can. Sister Xuanyu, you know I didn't mean it that way. I understand you heard I was in a coma and got worried about me. Now that you know I'm awake, you came to visit and care about me."
"Hmph, at least you have a conscience." Li Xuanyu snorted.
Yang Fei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned to Monica and said, "What about you? You're not concerned about me like Sister Xuanyu, are you?"
Monica smiled faintly and nodded, saying, "We're friends, of course I care about you."
Yang Fei chuckled, expressing disbelief: "I wouldn't say our friendship is that deep."
Monica put on a hurt expression and said, "Mr. Yang, you're breaking my heart. No matter what, I consider you a true friend. Moreover, we've already reached a cooperation agreement before; we're the most loyal partners."
Seeing her say this, Yang Fei nodded and said, "I guess so. I thought you also had feelings for me."
Monica was taken aback, then giggled, "Can you handle it?"
Yang Fei's mouth twitched.
Damn it, I got shot down again while joking.
Also, is my current weakness that obvious with just a glance?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Li Xuanyu and ask, "Sister Xuanyu, can you see how weak I am?"
Li Xuanyu rolled her eyes: "Nonsense, with your current state, anyone with some medical knowledge can see you're severely lacking in energy and vitality."
Yang Fei's face heated up and he turned to Monica, "Do you know medical skills?"
Monica shook her head, "I don't."
"Then how could you tell I'm so weak now?" Yang Fei asked in confusion. Your support at MV^LEMP^YR keeps the series going.
Monica said earnestly, "Normally, a man gets weak when he has several women, and especially since you seem just recovered from a serious illness. When I asked you just now, your face turned ugly, meaning I hit the mark."
Yang Fei was speechless.
Damn it, the problem lies with me.
He thought men should never let women think they're not capable in that aspect, and explained, "It's just that now I'm injured and too weak, but when I recover, I'll be very strong physically."
Monica giggled and didn't respond anymore.
Li Xuanyu also felt a bit embarrassed listening and said, "Alright, stop explaining, the more you explain, the more embarrassing it gets."
Yang Fei got anxious, "No, Sister Xuanyu, I was really vigorous before."
Li Xuanyu, although older than Yang Fei and fond of him, had lived abroad for many years and was considered open-minded. But she was still a virgin and her face turned red immediately with her heart speeding up when Yang Fei said this, angrily rebuking, "We're not here to discuss such boring things with you."
Only then did Yang Fei come to his senses and nodded, saying, "Right, besides visiting me, is there another reason you're here?"
Li Xuanyu and Monica's expressions turned more serious, and Monica said, "Mr. Yang, given the current global tensions, I was stuck in the Divine Continent Country and only re-established contact with my family there a few days ago. Considering the current situation, my family wanted me to clarify one thing as soon as possible."
Yang Fei said, "What is it? Go ahead."
Monica said, "My family wants to know whether the cooperation agreement we signed before the catastrophe still stands? Does the Cavendish family still hold the agency for the Genetic Liquid Medicine in the Western World? Is this precious thing still something you, the Divine Continent, wish to share with the world?"
Yang Fei was slightly taken aback, frowning, "Our cooperation agreement was approved by my wife at the time, and once decided, it won't be revoked."
Monica looked deeply at Yang Fei.
Her beauty was stunning, possessing the mature openness of a Western woman, yet exuding a serene, elegant classic beauty of Western nobility.
Especially her pair of Charming Eyes, they made one's heart race even without activating that special ability. Her gaze was full of charm, making people infatuated, unwilling to deceive her.
Yang Fei looked directly into her eyes, his expression unchanged.
Monica's heart fluctuated several times but ultimately resisted probing Yang Fei's thoughts with her Charming Eye.
For some reason, she suddenly felt that even with her Charming Eye activated, she might not be able to see through his thoughts or make him obediently confess in her mental space.
Moreover, deep inside, a vague fear emerged, afraid to activate the Charming Eye towards this man.
What's going on?
He's obviously much weaker than before, so why does he give off an even more dangerous impression?
While Monica was secretly astonished, her gaze became clear, and she said, "I believe Mr. Yang keeps his promises, but your wife has not shown any intention of honoring our agreement."
Yang Fei made an "oh" sound and curiously asked, "Why?"
Monica said helplessly, "Of course because of the current international situation."
Since waking up, Yang Fei, though having met and chatted with many people, hadn't been told about the current state of the world.
Hearing Monica's words now, his heart stirred, and he turned to Li Xuanyu, "By the way, Sister Xuanyu, why are you guys here?"
Li Xuanyu said helplessly, "You're just now asking this question?"
Yang Fei awkwardly smiled and said, "After waking up, my main concern was my own health issues. I didn't pay attention to other matters."
Li Xuanyu said, "Didn't Qin Yanyang tell you?"
Yang Fei shook his head.
Li Xuanyu sighed, her expression complex, "She really cares a lot about you."
Yang Fei's heart moved, and his expression turned more anxious, asking, "What's wrong, is the situation outside very severe?"
Li Xuanyu nodded, saying, "It's much better than a month ago, but the reality is still dire, at least for Qin Yanyang. She should be more exhausted than before now."
Yang Fei was shocked, recalling when Qin Yanyang leaned next to him upon waking up. He realized that she was exhausted, and having waited for him to wake up, she considered him a support—this was why he had the opportunity to enjoy the presence of many.
He mistakenly enjoyed himself, thinking his weakness provided an excuse to relish the situation.
On reflection, Yang Fei almost wanted to slap himself.
Qin Yanyang seemed so tired and haggard, yet he didn't even bother to show concern or ask about her situation, let alone talk to her to ease her state of mind.
At this point, he immediately asked Li Xuanyu and Monica about the world situation, and the two of them explained the situation to him truthfully, taking turns.
After listening, Yang Fei said with a serious expression, "So, I woke up to find the world has stepped into a new era?"
Monica's eyes lit up, and she nodded, "That's right, mankind truly entered a new epoch from that moment."
Yang Fei said to Li Xuanyu, "Have the Japanese troops not withdrawn from your country yet?"
A trace of sorrow flashed across Li Xuanyu's face, and she nodded, "Although the world is temporarily in a state of truce, the regions invaded by Japan have not been liberated. I suppose they won't leave of their own accord. Like in the last century, our Korean temporary government is residing in the Divine Continent."
Yang Fei nodded and said to Monica, "I can't answer your question for now; I'll give you a definite answer after I meet my wife, okay?"
Worry flashed across Monica's brow; she had attempted to discuss this with Qin Yanyang, but was refused.
Now, she could only pin her hopes on Yang Fei.
Yet given the current global situation, the hope seems slim.
She wasn't worried about being stuck in the Divine Continent, but uncertain about what the future holds for this world.
