Yun Bixue pursed her lips and pondered. “Overall, the decoration is pretty nice. The most important concern is safety. Those who are not invited must not be allowed to enter.”
Manager Sun nodded and replied, “Don’t worry, Young Madam. We’ve already made all the necessary safety arrangements and put all our staff on duty. Also, we’ve hired Ning An City’s armed police for extra protection. During the meeting, the area outside this hall will be highly secured.”
A glint flashed across Yun Bixue’s eyes. “Did you just say that the armed police have been hired?” The armed police in Country A were different from other countries. This was the greatest and most powerful team, and only the top countries could hire them. Manager Sun had actually succeeded in hiring them without a hitch.
As though he had sensed Yun Bixue’s doubt, Manager Sun explained, “Young Madam, the business meeting concerns the progress and future of the entire Ning An City. The government naturally supports it as well.” As he mentioned the government, Manager Sun glanced secretly at Young Master Xie.
Seeing the calm look on Young Master Xie’s face, Manager Sun’s heart was still beating furiously.
When Yun Bixue heard the word ‘government,’ she finally understood. It must have been because of her husband that the armed police were activated. With several security teams that day, she could feel assured now.
After all, her heart had almost jumped out of her mouth during her husband’s first speech. She didn’t want that incident to happen again.
“Manager Sun, with you overseeing this, I feel assured.”
These words of affirmation allowed Manager Sun to heave a sigh of relief. Finally, he had successfully secured his job.
After reviewing everything, Yun Bixue felt tired, so Xie Limo sent her home immediately. As soon as they returned home, Yun Bixue yawned and went straight to the bedroom to sleep.
Xie Limo followed her into the room and sat by the bed. Seeing that she was lying on the bed and falling asleep, he gently caressed her hair. “Are you that tired? You haven’t even eaten dinner!”
Yun Bixue shook her head lazily and pulled the blanket over her head. She answered in a grumpy voice, “I don’t want to eat. I want to sleep.”
Xie Limo pulled her blanket down. “Don’t suffocate yourself. Aren’t you hungry?” He reached out his hand and touched Yun Bixue’s stomach. He said softly, “Your stomach is empty. Have dinner before you sleep.”
Yun Bixue opened her eyes and pulled Xie Limo’s hand. “Let me sleep, okay? Sleep is the most important thing.”
Seeing how pitiful Yun Bixue looked, Xie Limo’s heart turned incredibly soft, especially when he noticed the look in her clear eyes.
He had been worried that it was unhealthy if she slept on an empty stomach, but looking at her now, he could only give in to her. Caressing her head, he covered her with the blanket properly and said, “Then you shall sleep and eat after you wake up.”
Yun Bixue shut her eyes and replied, “You should eat first.” After saying this, she promptly fell asleep.
Xie Limo sighed quietly. She had really been drained out lately. Even though he planned everything regarding the business meeting, she had prepared herself thoroughly to put on a great performance, and this made his heart ache as he watched her.
Listening to her even breathing, Xie Limo finally stood up and left quietly. He intended to cook a few light dishes so she could have something to eat when she woke up.
…
In a psychiatric ward in Ning An City.
Shen Jingcui was utterly treated like a lunatic. In reality, she was clear-headed sometimes. She had more prolonged periods of clarity back then, but after hanging out with a group of mentally ill people, not to mention being monitored closely by the staff, she couldn’t even stop herself from losing her mind.
That day, she was in a clear-headed state. As she stared out the window, her hands tightly gripped the grills, and her eyes were brimming with vengeance and hatred as her fingernails dug into the metal.
