Perfect Secret Love: The Bad New Wife is a Little Sweet

2466 Side Story: Ji Xiuran 11

“Is that not so?” Li Chun snorted. “Your blood is boiling.”

“Attack,” Ji Xiuran ordered expressionlessly.

Li Chun was startled.

Before Li Chun could react, a chilly glint flashed in the eyes of the experts behind Li Chun and their daggers ruthlessly pierced Li Chun’s back at once.

“Y-you!”

Li Chun turned around in shock and stared at his two confidants.

“Apologies. We’ve been Emperor Ji’s men since long ago!” one of the confidants replied coldly.

Swish!

The other man was unwilling to waste his words and stabbed his dagger into Li Chun’s neck.

Upon seeing this, Patriarch Zhou and Patriarch Tong exploded with rage.

This g*dd*mn Ji Xiuran!

Li Chun was extremely strong and was considered among the A+ tier fighting forces in the Independent State. Plus, they had the advantage in numbers, so even if Li Chun’s confidants were Ji Xiuran’s men, Ji Xiuran didn’t dare to act rashly. He waited until Li Chun was relaxed enough before striking the fatal blow!

Ji Xiuran… He had been waiting this whole time! He actually gambled with his own life!

This b*stard had planned everything since the first step he took inside of this place.

Unfortunately, Li Chun thought he’d completely defeated Ji Xiuran but was merely floundering inside Ji Xiuran’s trap this entire time. Even if this was a dead-end fatal plot, Ji Xiuran gambled with his life… and he won!

Li Chun was dead. The remaining people were nothing!

“Emperor Ji!”

As the two confidants looked at Ji Xiuran’s swaying figure, their expressions revealed their trepidation.

“Ignore me.” Ji Xiuran glanced at Patriarch Zhou and Patriarch Tong. “Make them taste all of the pain in this world.”

After saying that, the man carried the girl and left the place without looking back.

Snow fluttered around them, and every single one of the man’s steps appeared especially strained.

“Brother Xiuran, put me down!” The girl struggled.

Finally, the girl struggled free and the man fell on a pile of snow.

Gratification brimmed from the man’s stunning face. He reached out and patted her long hair. “Are you scared?”

“I am… I’m scared you’ll die. Ji Xiuran, you idiot!” The girl clutched Ji Xiuran in her arms. “If you die… what’s the point in me living… You shouldn’t have come!”

The man turned silent and didn’t respond.

But if… if you died, what’s the point in me living?

…

Half a month later:

“Ji Xiuran, you’re rather fearsome!” Haitang mocked as she watched the man who could leave the bed and walk already.

“What is it?” Ji Xiuran asked.

“You were both nearly killed,” Haitang said.

“It’s fine to just look at the outcome,” Ji Xiuran replied.

“Ji Xiuran, I’m asking you… Just what… what does Worriless mean to you?” Haitang asked a long while later, meeting Ji Xiuran’s eyes.

Ji Xiuran smiled faintly but didn’t answer.

He didn’t need to share the answer with anyone.

“Sis Haitang!”

At that moment, Worriless Nie walked inside with a pile of lunch boxes.

“Your true love is here. I’m leaving.” Haitang smiled and turned to leave.

“You’re here.” Ji Xiuran looked at Worriless Nie.

“Hurry and eat. I made delicious food for you!” Worriless Nie exclaimed cheerfully.

Ji Xiuran placidly sat back down on the bed and watched the girl open all the lunch boxes for him.

“This is soup brewed with an old hen to help you recuperate your blood… Here are some stir-fry dishes too…” Worriless Nie said.

She then picked up a spoon and ordered him: “Open your mouth.”

Ji Xiuran: “…”

“Does it taste good?” The girl was eager.

“Mm… I lost my sense of taste looking at you and I can’t taste the deliciousness of food anymore,” Ji Xiuran said with a smile.
