After speaking, the soldier turned around and saw the beautiful young lady crying.
“Liar.” An Rao squatted on the ground, her tears falling.
“Miss, my condolences. This place hasn’t been cleaned up yet. Why don’t you sit by the side for a while?” Seeing that An Rao was crying so sadly, even the soldiers could not stand it anymore and they comforted her.
However, An Rao was extremely sad and could not listen to anyone else.
Soon, the soldiers had a mission and left. An Rao looked at the debris on the ground alone.
She had only known Bo Xiao for a short while, but now, An Rao truly felt as if the entire world had collapsed.
An Rao sat there alone and cried for a long time.
“Why are you so sad? Are you afraid of being a widow?” Bo Xiao’s smiling voice suddenly sounded.
An Rao was stunned and thought that she had heard wrong.
“An Rao, I’m fine.”
An Rao suddenly turned around when she heard another voice from behind her. She saw Bo Xiao, who was wearing a hospital gown and holding a bottle of medicine, looking at her with a smile.
An Rao stood up, but because she had squatted for too long and was too sad, the world spun around her and she fell.
However, the pain that she had expected did not come. Bo Xiao steadily held An Rao in his arms.
An Rao felt the heat of Bo Xiao’s hand around her waist and tears welled up again.
Bo Xiao quietly watched An Rao cry for a while before sighing. He helped An Rao up and slowly walked into the ward with An Rao in one hand and the medicine bottle in the other.
As Bo Xiao pulled An Rao, she felt that Bo Xiao was holding her hand more and more tightly. In the end, An Rao felt that it was painful, so she called out to Bo Xiao, “Bo Xiao, be gentle.”
However, Bo Xiao did not let go. Instead, he pulled An Rao into the house. Without even looking, he swung his right hand and hung the medicine bottle on the shelf. He kicked the door closed and pressed An Rao against the wall.
An Rao still remembered the needle in Bo Xiao’s hand. “Bo Xiao, be careful… Mm.”
An overwhelming kiss fell on An Rao. Bo Xiao’s body was burning and his temperature was abnormally high.
His actions were also very rough. It was not gentle love, but complete plunder.
It was as if he was venting the madness in his heart through the gap between life and death.
An Rao endured it passively, feeling like she was about to drown in Bo Xiao’s strength.
After some time, An Rao felt blood seeping out of Bo Xiao’s back. She hurriedly pushed him away. “You’re bleeding!”
Bo Xiao grunted. “Mm.”
His already injured body had become even weaker after last night’s actions.
He had been carried from the backyard to the ward on a stretcher. At that time, he was already unconscious.
For some reason, Bo Xiao suddenly woke up after lying on the bed for a while. Thinking that this stupid woman, An Rao, was definitely crying, Bo Xiao forced himself to take the medicine bottle and walk to the backyard. As expected, he saw An Rao, whose face was covered in tears.
After walking back and forth and the kiss just now had exhausted Bo Xiao’s last bit of energy, Bo Xiao responded and collapsed on An Rao’s shoulder.
An Rao was shocked. She reached out to check Bo Xiao’s breathing and placed him on the bed before hurriedly looking for a doctor.
After the doctor finished bandaging him, An Rao sat by the bed and waited.
Looking at Bo Xiao, who was pale but still handsome under the blanket, An Rao touched the corner of her lips and blushed.

Xia Wanyuan saw the message from An Rao that said she was safe and finally felt relieved.
Although she did not say anything, she had been worried about this matter in her heart. Now, both of them were safe.
Xia Wanyuan sat by the window and looked at the information Professor Zhang had given her. She saw something she didn’t quite understand and was about to call Jun Shiling when she looked up. Jun Shiling was busy, so Xia Wanyuan stopped.
However, less than a minute later, Jun Shiling walked over. “Is there a problem?”
“How did you know that there was something wrong with me?” Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in surprise. This person was really amazing. He could guess what I was thinking.
Jun Shiling smiled but did not answer.
Even at work, he was still very concerned about Xia Wanyuan. Sensing Xia Wanyuan’s gaze on him, he quickly settled the matters on his hand.
“This is the information Professor Zhang gave me. Who is Master Danny? Why is there a family fight in the painting competition?” Xia Wanyuan was well-versed in Chinese literature and history, but she was indeed unfamiliar with family history abroad.
“Danny is a recognized master in the world painting industry. Besides his identity as a painter, he also has the support of the largest financial group in Continent M. Many people participate in the painting competition so that they can link up with the family behind him through him.”
Other than a few talented people who could stand out on their own, most families had strong capital and had gathered countless manpower and wealth to nurture an artist.
And in the top circles of the painting world, every single one of them had a top family standing behind them. To be able to enter this circle meant that they had entered their ranks.
After hearing Jun Shiling’s explanation, Xia Wanyuan was clearly speechless.
It was clearly meant to be beautiful and filled with the art, yet it could be mixed with so many things.
Just like in her previous life, many people clearly did not know painting and calligraphy, but in order to be elegant, they still spent a large sum of money to buy famous calligraphy and paintings and hung them at home.
It seemed that even after a thousand years, people had not improved on their unethical acts.
“Go and participate. There’s nothing wrong with feeling the style of other places.” Jun Shiling scratched the tip of Xia Wanyuan’s nose. “Anyway, you don’t have to cling to any family.”
Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in amusement. “I only need to cling to CEO Jun, right?”
“You’re promising.” Jun Shiling leaned over and kissed Xia Wanyuan. “I’ll accompany you to Continent M when the time comes. I have something to do there.”
“Okay.” Xia Wanyuan nodded, then glanced at Jun Shiling. “Do you know what I want to do now? Aren’t you the best at guessing?”
Jun Shiling pinched Xia Wanyuan’s face helplessly. “You can’t eat ice cream at night.”
??!
Xia Wanyuan felt that it was amazing. I clearly did not say anything, so how did Jun Shiling guess that I wanted to eat ice cream?
“Jun Shiling, are you a fortune teller? No, I want to eat it.”
Xia Wanyuan had been worried about An Rao and Bo Xiao for the past few days and had not been able to eat or taste anything. Now that she was finally relieved, Xia Wanyuan became greedy. There were two more ice creams that Jun Shiling had brought back for her last time, and Xia Wanyuan suddenly thought of them.
“Be good. You can’t eat cold food at night.” Jun Shiling kept his bottom line.
“Hubby.”
“Okay, eat a third..” Jun Shiling’s bottom line collapsed effortlessly.
