Chapter 240: Chapter 240 Life Will Be Dull Without You
Yuan Xi went to the entrance of the emergency surgery room where Gu Hanchen was still undergoing surgery.
Liang Suisuisui anxiously waited outside and felt terribly guilty upon seeing Yuan Xi, “It’s all my fault. It was to save myself that I caused Gu Hanchen to crash into a tree. If something should happen to him… I…”

Yuan Xi comforted Liang Suisui, “Don’t worry, Gu Hanchen has a tough fate. Didn’t he recover last time? He will be safe this time too.”
Liang Suisui lowered her head and sighed heavily, “Ah! I really owe Gu Hanchen too much. Last time, when Bo Fan crashed into him, he chose to suffer severe injuries to protect me, but this time I selfishly caused his accident. I truly feel unworthy of Gu Hanchen.”
Yuan Xi said, “It’s human instinct to save oneself in dangerous times; don’t take it too hard. Gu Hanchen will surely wake up safe and sound.”
Yuan Xi and Liang Suisui waited for almost an hour. They didn’t see Gu Hanchen come out of the surgery room but were met by Mrs. Gu and Gu Nuan who hurried over.
Mrs. Gu’s face showed extreme worry, “Is someone cursing my child? How could he sustain severe injuries two years in a row?”
Gu Nuan said coldly, “He brought it upon himself. I told him not to drive such a low battery-range electric car at high speeds, but he insisted. He deserved it.”
“Ah Nuan!” Mrs. Gu said, “Hanchen’s life is still uncertain, please hold back your words.”
Gu Nuan said no more.
Liang Suisui said, “I’m sorry, this time it was my fault.”
Gu Nuan said, “Don’t blame yourself, it’s not like you sent a car after Gu Hanchen. He could use a few more lessons. He’s nearly thirty but acts like a reckless eighteen-year-old.”
When Yuan Xi saw the doctor come out from inside, she quickly asked, “How is Mr. Gu?”
The doctor removed his mask and said, “The patient is currently out of life-threatening danger, but he still needs observation in the ICU. He has multiple fractures in his collarbone, leg, and arm and needs good rest.”
Yuan Xi breathed a sigh of relief; no life-threatening danger was the most relieving news.
Huo Shiyan came over to Yuan Xi and said, “Grandpa and Grandma heard about your situation and are waiting for us at Yunsen Court.”
Yuan Xi said to Liang Suisui, “Don’t feel too pressured, it’s not your fault. I have to leave first.”
Liang Suisui nodded at Yuan Xi.
Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyan got into the car, and Huo Shiyan pressed the car’s partition button, holding Yuan Xi tightly in his arms and kissed her red lips once again, his heart still filled with fear.
Huo Shiyan held Yuan Xi by her waist for a long time before finally letting go of her lips.
Yuan Xi sighed in relief and looked at Huo Shiyan, “I’m fine now.”
Huo Shiyan reached out and stroked Yuan Xi’s head.
After arriving at Yunsen Court, Yuan Xi saw Grandpa Shi, Grandma Shi, Grandpa Huo, and Granny Huo. Grandpa Huo’s anxious expression was evident even as he sat in his wheelchair.
Grandma Shi held Yuan Xi’s hand as soon as she saw her, “Are you alright? We were terrified when we heard the news.”
Yuan Xi smiled lightly, “Grandma, I’m fine. Sorry to have worried you.”
“You should still have bodyguards when going out,” Granny Huo said.
Yuan Xi nodded and replied, “Yes, I’ll bring bodyguards if I go out in the future. I won’t be reckless again.”
Yuan Xi looked up at Huo Shiyan; she had two children and Huo Shiyan, she wasn’t ready to leave this world so soon.
Xiao Shihuo sat on the side, wiping away tears angrily.
Yuan Xi went over and said, “Why are you crying?”
Xiao Shihuo threw himself into Yuan Xi’s arms, “They said sister was going to die.”
Yuan Xi held Xiao Shihuo and said, “Sister is fine, I won’t die.”
Huo Shiyan came over and took Xiao Shihuo from Yuan Xi’s arms, “You’re almost a first-grader; you can’t keep asking your sister to hold you whenever you cry.”
Xiao Shihuo wiped his tears and continued to cry softly.
Yuan Xi smiled and gently stroked Xiao Shihuo’s head, soothingly saying, “Sister is fine, be good.”
Yuan Xi’s phone rang, and she received video calls from Chu Qing and Yang Ying, who were clearly aware that she had been in danger. Yuan Xi assured them of her safety before they could relax.
After hanging up, Yuan Xi went to see An’an and Lele; she had nearly never seen An’an and Lele again.
Yuan Xi held both children in her embrace. Huo Shiyan gently patted Yuan Xi’s shoulder from the side, “Fortunately, you’re safe.”
Yuan Xi looked up at Huo Shiyan with a smile, “With Lele, An’an, and you here, I couldn’t bear to have anything happen.”
Late into the night.
Before going to sleep, Yuan Xi glanced at her phone. The news about “Peak Romance” pulling out of theaters and being involved in a money laundering scandal caused a huge uproar, “Destroying Stars” and money laundering also surged to the top of the trending searches.
Following that, “Mi Yi’s Money Laundering” went trending.
Even more, “Mi Chen’s Money Laundering” also pushed to the top of the trending searches.
“Mi Yi’s money laundering is set in stone; there’s even a video of her being arrested. Mi Yi was involved in money laundering for both ‘Destroying Stars’ and ‘Peak Romance.’ I just don’t believe Mi Yi didn’t involve Mi Chen in money laundering.”
“Mi Chen, a gaming company, is bound to close sooner or later! It harms students and children, leading to unrest in families.”
Yuan Xi glanced at the online attacks against Mi Yi and Mi Chen, taking a deep breath.
Huo Shiyan took the phone from Yuan Xi’s hands, “It’s time to sleep.”
Yuan Xi watched as Huo Shiyan took away the phone and said, “From what we see now, Sister Mi Yi will be sentenced to at least ten years. The amount involved in the money laundering is enormous.”
Huo Shiyan said, “It’s what she deserves.”
Yuan Xi said, “I was really afraid that Mi Yi’s money laundering would involve Mi Chen, and it really did. Netizens can really invent rumors regardless of the facts… The finance department of Mi Chen will be busy again.”
Huo Shiyan held Yuan Xi’s hands tightly, “Just let them investigate, the innocent shall clear themselves.”
Yuan Xi looked at Huo Shiyan in his arms and said, “The moment I passed out, I was really afraid that I’d never see you again, and I had many regrets… We haven’t had our wedding yet, I haven’t seen our two babies grow up, nor have I made you believe that I love you…”
Huo Shiyan tightened his grip on Yuan Xi’s hand, “Stop talking.”
Recalling the suffocating feeling during the day, Huo Shiyan didn’t want to think about it anymore.
Yuan Xi looked at Huo Shiyan and said, “If I really leave someday… and you fall in love with someone else, you must make sure she loves the children…”
Huo Shiyan bit Yuan Xi’s lip, “That ‘if’ won’t happen, and I can’t possibly fall in love with someone else!”
Huo Shiyan’s eyes glistened slightly, “It’s impossible for me to love someone else.”
Huo Shiyan placed Yuan Xi’s hand on his chest, “If you were gone, my heart would die too… I see no meaning in living.”
“What about An’an and Lele?”
Huo Shiyan looked at Yuan Xi, “No one is more important than you, without you, my life would be bleak.”
Yuan Xi, listening to Huo Shiyan’s mellow voice, felt a tear fall on her cheek.
Yuan Xi kissed Huo Shiyan’s lips voluntarily, not knowing when she fell asleep.
She only knew that when she woke up, the messages on her phone nearly exploded it.
Gu Hanchen was still in the ICU; naturally, there was a lot going on with Mi Chen, especially after the incident with Mi Yi, the rumors about Mi Chen were rife.
After freshening up in the morning and seeing it was almost ten, Yuan Xi decided to have lunch before going to the office.
Upon reaching downstairs, Yuan Xi saw Huo Shiyan at home holding Lele and asked, “Aren’t you going to the office?”
Huo Shiyan replied, “I was waiting for you to wake up so we could go together.”
Yuan Xi took Lele from Huo Shiyan, “Did you know Gu Hanchen is awake?”
Huo Shiyan said, “The injuries this time are not as severe as the last time Bo Fan hit him, he’s already awake.”
Yuan Xi said, “Then let’s go see him after lunch.”
After lunch, Yuan Xi went with Huo Shiyan to the hospital.
Gu Hanchen had been transferred to the VIP ward.
Seeing Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyan enter, the bandaged Gu Hanchen groaned repeatedly, “What kind of luck is this? Last time, I had a car accident with Liang Suisui; she only got minor injuries while I nearly lost my life. This time, I was in a car with three people, and I suffered the worst injuries again! It looks like I should pursue Liang Suisui too!”
Yuan Xi glanced at Zhong Xiaoyi who was cutting fruit, “Why would you pursue Liang Suisui?”
Gu Hanchen: “She’s lucky. Look, in two car accidents, I almost died, but she was fine both times. I need some of that luck.”
Yuan Xi chuckled lightly, “This time, Mi Yi and I were also fine, right?”
Gu Hanchen said, “But I obviously can’t pursue Mi Yi. There’s no spark between us, not to mention she’s definitely going to jail. I can’t possibly have a romance with her in prison, and you…”
Gu Hanchen, feeling the intensity of Huo Shiyan’s gaze, cut himself off, “It’s impossible with you too, Liang Suisui is nice.”
Gu Hanchen continued, “Anyway, my mom said this morning that whether I like it or not, she’s going to introduce me to marriage candidates. Rather than choosing a daughter of wealth I need to attend to and don’t actually like, I’d rather go for Liang Suisui. At least I don’t dislike her. Yuan Xi, you have to help me pursue her too.”
Zhong Xiaoyi handed over the cut fruit, “Chairman Yuan, President Huo.”
Yuan Xi took a piece of pineapple for Huo Shiyan and grabbed another piece for herself.
Gu Hanchen looked at Zhong Xiaoyi, “I want some too.”
Zhong Xiaoyi replied, “You just had surgery, you can only have liquid food, you can’t eat fruits.”
Gu Hanchen complained, “Can’t you make the fruit into juice?”
Zhong Xiaoyi replied, “That’s not advisable either. Juice has too high a sugar content and isn’t healthy. It’s best if you don’t eat anything now.”
Gu Hanchen furrowed his brows, “You know I can’t eat fruits, yet you still cut them? Is this how you take care of a patient?”
“My duty might be your secretary, but it doesn’t include taking care of you in the hospital.”
Zhong Xiaoyi put down the fruit plate, “If you think I’m not taking good care of you, then please hire a caretaker. I’m leaving.”
Gu Hanchen watched Zhong Xiaoyi’s retreating figure, “How can such a young girl have such a temper? Blowing up over a simple remark? It’s fine in front of me, but when she gets married, can her husband tolerate her mood?”
Yuan Xi, thinking about the tears nearly falling from Zhong Xiaoyi’s eyes, sighed softly.
