As time passed by, Xu Weilai seemed to hear footsteps approaching before she lost all her consciousness.
Someone was coming...
She heaved a sigh of relief and passed out before she could figure out who came for them.
–
Xu Weilai felt light-headed when she regained her consciousness and was in a daze for a while before she woke up with a clearer head.
Her eyeballs moved around taking in the surroundings and recognized that she was in her hotel room.
Alas, the footsteps she heard before she passed out weren’t illusions. They were indeed rescued, probably by Qiao Chu or the rescue team who came in time for them.
No matter who it was, she was grateful.
The door beeped, followed by the sound of the door opening. Xu Weilai instinctively turned her head towards the door. When she saw Xiao Chun walked in, her lips curled into a faint smile, and she called out to her softly, “Chunchun.”
“You’ve finally decided to wake up.”
Xiao Chun took a few steps towards the bed and sat down at the edge. She put her palm against Xu Weilai’s forehead to check on her temperature to make sure that her fever had subsided. Then she chided her, “Little Weilai, even though you’re on Zuo An’s side now, do you need to work that hard and risk your own life? You either get yourself injured or sick from time to time. Don’t you know we are worried to death for you?”
Xu Weilai didn’t answer but chose to act coquettishly towards Xiao Chun. “Chunchun, I’m thirsty. Can you get me a glass of water?”
“I’ll let you die of thirst!”
Even though she said this, she had already stood up and walked toward the small bar counter in the room. She took a bottle of water, twisted the cap open, and poured it into a glass. Then she brought it back to Xu Weilai and casually handed the glass to her.
“I know you are the best.”Xu Weilai moved up slightly and leaned against the headboard. As she drank the water, she asked, “How’s my Big Boss? Is he okay?”
His situation was probably much worse than hers.
Since Xiao Chun never liked Zuo An, she viciously replied, “Too bad he isn’t dead yet.”
If he didn’t die, it would have meant that he was alive and fine.
Xu Weilai calmed down. As long as he was fine, it was all good. Otherwise, all her efforts would have been in vain.
“By the way, who found us?”
Xiao Chun took the glass that Xu Weilai had done drinking and placed it on the bedside table and gave her a nonchalant answer, “Should be the rescue squad. I’m not too sure either, but I saw them bringing you and Zuo An down from the mountain.”
Xu Weilai nodded. “Then I’ll thank the rescue squad properly later.”
After a pause, something came to her mind and she frowned, “Chunchun, you’re after all in Gu Yu’s team. Is it okay for you to be here with me considering there are so many watchful eyes? I’m fine already. Why don’t you leave first?
Xiao Chun waved her hand. “It’s fine. The two big shots left anyway. As for the rest, they won’t dare to say anything.”
The two big shots?
“You mean Gu Yu and Zuo Si left?”
“Yes, you and Zuo An were rescued early this morning and sent back here. Yu and Zuo Si were supposed to come and visit, but they only sent Assistant Lin over. They flew back in a private jet in the afternoon. They seemed to leave in a hurry, probably some urgent matter came up.”
“Is that so...?” Xu Weilai blinked her eyes thoughtfully.
But in a flick of a second, she had all her emotions wrapped up and smiled. “Is Big Boss resting in his room now? I’ll go and visit him.”
“You may. I’m not going.”
“Sure, I’ll go on my own.”
