A Warm Wedding and A New Bride of Young Master Lu

Chapter 256: Get Out of My Face

Hearing these words at a time like this, Luo Xiaoxi could only feel heartache.

Because of the good family environment her parents provided, she had had the utmost freedom.

As long as she did not hurt anyone, she could do anything she wanted, and she never felt it wrong to act recklessly.

However, now, she found herself wrong for loving Su Yicheng for more than 10 years.

Her biggest wish all these years turned out to be her biggest mistake.

She knew that she could not get away, so she just let him shackle her. She stayed like a cold sculpture in his arms and said coldly, “Su Yicheng, we’re finished.”

Su Yicheng seemed to have shaken a little.

He slowly released Luo Xiaoxi and madness flashed through his eyes. “You can push me, but you don’t ever want to leave.”

Luo Xiaoxi was agitated and lost control at that second. “Su Yicheng! What is this? Didn’t you want me away from you as far as possible? Today, I’ll grant your wish. I’ll never see you or talk to you. Now get out of my face!”

Su Yicheng latched onto her arm. He exerted so much strength that his knuckles went white. “Luo Xiaoxi, you started this first. You don’t want to leave unless I let you.”

Luo Xiaoxi didn’t bother to repeat that sentence and just kept struggling as a silent protest to Su Yicheng, as if she could drive him away if she won.

Su Yicheng did not let go of Luo Xiaoxi either. He did not loosen the grip on her a bit.

When Su Jianan and Lu Boyan arrived, they saw the way they tangled.

Su Jianan knew these two people too well, and she already knew what was happening without asking. She dragged Su Yicheng away and signaled at Lu Boyan at the same time. Soon, only Luo Xiaoxi and she stayed in the hallway.

Apart from her parents, Su Jianan had been the closet person to Luo Xiaoxi in the world, and Luo Xiaoxi trusted Su Jianan. Now, when her parents lay in ICU, the moment she saw Su Jianan, the mask she had been wearing crumbled at once.

She held Su Jianan tightly and her tears poured, wetting Su Jianan’s shoulder.

“Xiaoxi, the most important thing right now is to treat uncle and aunt. We’ll decide other things once they recover, alright?”

“...” Luo Xiaoxi just cried and could not say a word.

Su Jianan stroked her back as if comforting a child. “Lu Boyan sent for the greatest doctors at home from those private hospitals to treat uncle and aunt. They’ll be alright.”

“...” Luo Xiaoxi whined and nodded.

Su Jianan moved her lips and was about to explain why Su Yicheng had protected Zhang Mei. On second thought, she decided to give up.

Now, Luo Xiaoxi was on the verge of a mental breakdown, and she must have connected her parents’ car accident to the relationship of Su Yicheng and her. At this time, it would be useless no matter how hard she tried to explain.

She might as well wait until Luo Xiaoxi calmed down and let Su Yicheng explain it in person. After all, they need to fix this together.

Su Jianan stayed with Luo Xiaoxi for another short while and Lu Boyan returned. He told Luo Xiaoxi. “The doctors have arrived, and they’ll do their best.”

“Thank you.” Without the usual vigor, Luo Xiaoxi’s voice sounded infinitely hoarse.

After a while, Luo Xiaoxi looked up, her bloodshot eyes slightly swollen. “Jianan, you two should go home.”

“I’ll stay...”

Luo Xiaoxi stopped Su Jianan from continuing. “I want to be with mom and dad.”

Su Jianan wanted to say something more but Lu Boyan signaled at her not to, so she had to leave following Lu Boyan.

On the first floor, they ran into Su Yicheng, who was in a hurry and even bumped into a doctor.

Su Jianan went to ask how he was doing, and he said he was fine. “You should go home. I’ll ask the doctors about the injuries and listen to the consultants’ advice.”

Su Jianan obediently nodded.

After this, when Su Jianan lay on the bed again, it was already past three in the morning. She was unusually not sleepy, so she stirred in bed.

After putting up with her twisting and turning for a while, Lu Boyan had to shackle her with his arms. “Close your eyes and sleep!”

Su Jianan fiddled with Lu Boyan’s shirt. “I was thinking if Uncle Luo and Aunt Luo would get well soon. And what would happen to Xiaoxi and my brother?”

“A dozen specialists are trying to answer the first question, just like you. As for the second one, you don’t need to think about the answer either because it’s a very simple one.”

Su Jianan’s eyes lit up. “And what is that?”

“It’ll be up to your brother.”

“... ” “Ugh, it seems to be true.”

Therefore, she did not need to worry about anything.

Thinking like that, she suddenly felt the drowsiness welling up inside her and soon fell into a deep sleep.

On the next day, many things happened.

First, the police had conducted a press conference to explain the situation of Su Yuanyuan’s case and clarified that Su Jianan was not the murderer.

However, people had stopped following the murder case that had just shaken the Internet world a few days ago, because they all shifted their gaze onto Luo Xiaoxi.

After the president of Luo Enterprise and his wife had a car accident, the media revealed Luo Xiaoxi’s background. She was genuinely a kid from a wealthy family, graduating from a famous foreign university and close to Young Master of Qin Enterprise.

The interesting part was, though Luo Xiaoxi’s name was on everyone’s lips again, they ceased to lash out at her anymore.

Then, her agency announced Luo Xiaoxi’s withdrawal from the match, and the users online posted that they totally understood that. Anyway, she had family background and connections, so the championship would mean nothing more than a toy from her childhood.

Even, some people suddenly cared about her and left messages for her that she must hold on.

However, Luo Xiaoxi did not care about those irrelevant things at all.

She stood behind the windows of ICU for an entire night. At the end of the corridor, the windows turned from dark to light. She wanted time to fly by, but at the same time, she did not.

Or, she was afraid that after 48 hours, Lao Luo and her mother would have to stay in ICU under observation.

After a sleepless night, Luo Xiaoxi’s face looked terrible and she also felt absentminded. Suddenly, she heard the continuous beeps of the machines, and next second, several doctors and nurses rushed into her parents’ ward. A nursed blocked her outside the room. “Ms. Luo, we’ll give them first aid and you should be calm.”

Luo Xiaoxi pressed her hands on the windows and watched the doctors and nurses running around in the ward. The numbers and charts on the screens kept changing as if someone else had seized her parents’ hearts.

For the first time, she felt so powerless, so useless...

The operation seemed to have lasted a century. The moment the doctor walked out, Luo Xiaoxi stumbled to him. “Doctor, how are my parents?”

“I’m afraid Mr. Luo won’t wake up in 48 hours, and your mother had a brain infection. Ms. Luo, you might...”

The doctor’s words sucked away Luo Xiaoxi’s last strength and hope. She felt her knees failing and the darkness surrounding her, and then she could not feel anything.

Nurses and the doctor rushed to support Luo Xiaoxi. However, at this time, someone caught the falling Luo Xiaoxi faster and picked her up.

Yesterday, the man had talked with the consultant specialists for hours, so the doctors all knew him. Seeing him frowning, they all comforted him. “Mr. Su, don’t worry. Ms. Luo must have been tired. Set up a room for her to rest, and make her eat something when she wakes up.”

Su Yicheng carried Luo Xiaoxi into a private ward and carefully laid her onto the bed. He tucked her in but he still knitted his brows.

This was the first time he had seen Luo Xiaoxi in such a terrible state and he suddenly feared.

If something really happened to her parents, the future of them two might never come. Even worse, Luo Xiaoxi might torture herself forever by hurting herself.

He got up and walked to the corridor, calling his younger cousin, Xiao Yunyun.

Xiao Yunyun majored in medicine. Though she mainly studied in cardiac surgery, she had always been listening to classes on cerebral surgery out of curiosity and had collected much information on it.

“They’re all super experts who graduated from top universities in North American or Europe. I’ve emailed you their profiles and contact information.” Xiao Yunyun said, “But cousin, I’ll tell you this first. These two’s schedules are full. It’s hard to send for both of them to our country.”

It was indeed hard. Even Su Yicheng had to wait for two hours to talk to these two. He offered a payment that could not be turned down, and the two people finally agreed to hop on the fastest plane to Su Yicheng’s city.

After finishing the call, when he returned to the ward, he found Luo Xiaoxi still in sound sleep.

Su Yicheng did not sleep last night either, so at the moment, he also felt tired. However, he still dialed Xiao Chen’s number to ask him to check on Luo Enterprise.

“It’s still OK.” Xiao Chen said, “The vice president can keep things under control for now, but in the future... a few guys on the board of directors, including this vice president... I can’t really tell.”

“Watch him.” Su Yicheng ordered. “Call me if anything’s up.”

“Yes, I will.” Xiao Chen hung up the phone, but he felt very absurd—Would his boss care about his own company, please?

Su Yicheng did not have any strength left to care about his own company. Resting his upper body on the sickbed, he almost fell asleep in less than a minute.

Luo Xiaoxi could not sleep in like she used to do, because she still felt a heaviness in her heart even in sleep. When she woke up from a nightmare, the first thing she saw was the white ward and Su Yicheng at her bedside.

Even with his eyes closed, Su Yicheng looked evidently tired.

Luo Xiaoxi did not want to think why Su Yicheng would look like that. She looked away, but intense tingles on her heart became even sharper.

How ridiculous! Under such circumstances, when she thought their future had crumbled, she still felt a heaviness and desperation in her heart.

Luo Xiaoxi lifted up the blanket, ready to sneak out of the room. Nevertheless, when she got up, she felt dizzy, so she had to wait on the bed until the feeling faded. Finally, when she returned normal, she found herself having wakened up Su Yicheng.

He looked at her. “Go wash yourself, and I’ll take you to eat something.”

“I can go by myself. Maybe you can do me another favor.” Luo Xiaoxi said.

Su Yicheng knitted his brows and the next second, he heard Luo Xiaoxi saying. “Please do not show your face again.”

“You can’t do this alone.” Su Yicheng tried to persuade Luo Xiaoxi with his practical value in real life.

“I know.” Luo Xiaoxi smiled. “But I’d rather be a loser than let you help me! Get out!”

Su Yicheng quietly clenched his fists and a fit of anger flashed through his eyes. However, his face still stayed the same and his voice still sounded gentle. “Never mind if you don’t want to go out, because I’ll have them send breakfast here.”

Luo Xiaoxi ignored him and walked straight to the bathroom.

She did not know how Su Yicheng did it, but the restaurant had been astoundingly quick. When Luo Xiaoxi got out, they already laid breakfast on a simple dining table. However, she did not even look at it twice. Instead, she walked straight out the door.

Before she could take a few more steps, Su Yicheng grabbed her hand.

“If your parents’ condition changes again and you pass out like you did in the morning, who can decide the next step for you?”

Luo Xiaoxi considered and then sat by the dining table. She gulped them down, regardless of what was on her plate.
