After rejecting my celebrity husband-Chapter 1659 - 1663: The Old Man Must Be About to Blow a Gasket

"However..." Leng Zirui raised a single finger, "I have one condition!"

"I agree!" Before he could say what the condition was, Xu Xia had already agreed immediately.

Though they bicker and argue, Xu Xia has absolute trust in Leng Zirui.

"Alright then..." Leng Zirui waved his hand, "Let Ah Jiu take you back to the hotel to rest now."

Xu Xia raised an eyebrow, "That’s the condition?"

"Wrong!" Leng Zirui grinned mischievously, "My condition is, for the next few days, you must follow my orders completely and obey every command!"

Xu Xia pouted, knowing his condition wouldn’t be so simple.

"Go back and rest obediently, eat something, have a good sleep, and don’t run around!" Leng Zirui extended his hand to hold hers, speaking gently, "I don’t want you to have even the slightest mishap, okay?!"

"Okay!" Xu Xia nodded sensibly, "Then... can I go see Lan Zi and the others?!"

Leng Zirui didn’t refuse her, "Let Ah Jiu and the others take you to see them first, then go back to the hotel, but you have to promise me not to stay for more than half an hour!"

Xu Xia raised her palm, "I promise!"

Leng Zirui smiled and let go of her hand, "Go ahead!"

Xu Xia turned and walked towards the door of the hospital room, took two steps, then stopped and turned to look at him, "So... when can I come see you?!"

"When I miss you, I’ll send someone to pick you up." Leng Zirui’s expression turned serious, "I’m serious. This time, don’t play tricks with me."

"Got it!" Xu Xia pouted and shot him a look, then turned to open the door. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

She took a glance at him through the door crack before gently closing the door tight.

"Ah Jiu and the others will protect her!" Leng Zimo sat down beside the bed, "How are you?"

"Nothing serious, just a minor injury." Leng Zirui waved his hand nonchalantly, "Have the police found any leads?!"

"They caught one person alive. That person just arrived at the port last night, and he has a mercenary team under him. According to him, they were hired for this job, but because they were introduced by a middleman, they don’t know who hired them." Leng Zimo said.

"It’s Cobra!" Leng Zirui frowned slightly, "How’s Xiao Qian?!

"Everything’s fine, don’t worry. Tomorrow, as soon as your people arrive, I’ll immediately head back to Beijing."

Leng Zirui glanced sideways at him, "Wow, even managed to get a rocket launcher?"

Leng Zimo rolled his eyes in response, "All for you, isn’t it?!"

Usually, he wouldn’t personally get involved in such matters. This time, it’s entirely because of Leng Zirui and Xu Xia that he took matters into his own hands.

"The old man must be furious, huh?" Leng Zirui asked.

That man has always been strict.

This time, without approval, he ran off to Hong Kong and made such a commotion with Leng Zimo. No doubt, the old man’s lungs have likely burst from anger by now.

Leng Zimo glanced at the nearly-finished IV drip and pressed the nurse call bell next to the bed, "He’s probably used to it by now!"

Leng Zirui chuckled softly, "True enough, after all, he had two troublemaking sons like us, neither of whom give him peace of mind."

Leng Zimo shrugged his shoulders and sighed lightly.

At dawn, the sun, as it does every day, slowly rises from the eastern horizon.

Southern Suburbs of Beijing, the golden sunshine reflecting off this European medieval-style mansion, was now engulfed in dead silence.
