Chapter 461 Take him to our house
" If the woman wasn't looking for Xiao Hua before when she could have gotten her hand on him, then it can only mean that she didn't know him before or never saw his face before because the gifts that she is sending him are something that one can totally never buy from the shops at the town. They are a rare thing and hard to find, sold in the market for a high price… her purchasing those things, can only mean that she has a lot of money ——-" she turned to Li Hanjing and asked, " Speaking of gifts why didn't you three tell me before? I could have at least done something for you guys now the trouble is like this, what are we going to do now? If you told me earlier then maybe I would have done something to stop her before.""It's not that we didn't want to tell you," said Little Zimo with his head lowered. " We just thought that the woman will let go of Brother Hua once we start ignoring her, but who would have thought that she was capable of something this dangerous? I am surprised as well, I just thought of her as a prankster and nothing more. I never expected that she will be able to kill someone, I thought that…"
" We were worried that Xiao Hua's reputation will take a big blow if he was to disclose this matter to others, that is why we hid this from him as well," said Li Hanjing. " Don't get angry at him though, he only came to know about this a few weeks ago and he wanted to tell you but you received a letter from your husbands in the capital and the Fang Chi also needed your attention… you were also busy running around for the shop that you are buying and that was why he kept it to himself instead of telling you, he didn't want to add to your burden when he couldn't do anything to reduce it."
Yu Dong sighed, she knew Xiao Hua was trying to be considerate to her but it would have been better if he cried and made a fuss, that way she would be able to give him the attention that he wanted. But no, he was trying to be considerate, especially when he should be asking her for her help.
She sighed and patted Little Zimo and Li Hanjing on the shoulders. " You two must have been startled as well, go and have a rest as well. I will stay next to him and take care of him, don't worry okay?"

Once they were gone, Yu Dong turned to Xiao Hua who was lying unconsciously on the bed and sighed exaggeratedly. She picked up a chair from the corner of his room and sat next to his bed, as she lightly admonished him in his sleep because she knew that if she was to scold him when he was awake, he will only pout and make an adorable face asking her not to scold him. " Why are you such an idiot huh Xiao Hua? When I ask you not to make a fuss you will make one that I can't even take a look at the work I am doing and yet now you did something like this, was it fun hiding such a big thing from me huh? You have really grown up huh, you even learned to hide things from me."
It wasn't that she was just angry at Xiao Hua, she was angry at herself as well. Xiao Hua has been with her all the time throughout these three weeks and yet she didn't even see that something was wrong with him, she should have known that something was up with him and taken care of this matter but she was just too busy with this and that—— she couldn't pay attention on him. No, it wasn't that she couldn't pay attention to him, it was that he was being a bit too understanding and she thought that he will be fine even with her not being next to him, who would have thought that something so horrible would happen to him.
She held his wrist and leaned her face against it as she groaned in distress. " I am so sorry, Xiao Hua... I should have taken proper care of you."
As his girlfriend, she practically failed to protect him when it was necessary.
" Umm…" she raised her head when she saw him frowning, and understood that he must be dreaming of what happened earlier this morning. Raising her hand, she softly caressed his forehead and said, "It's all right, I am here…nothing will happen to you okay? Don't worry and rest at ease."
" I will be here when you wake up, so you can sleep at ease."
" Don't worry, I will catch that woman for you … you don't need to worry at all."
She kept murmuring soft words in his ears while holding on to his hand and slowly Xiao Hua's frown eased and he went back to sleep.
Seeing that he went back to sleep, Yu Dong sighed. This time it was going to be really tough.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJust as she was thinking about whether she should sing something, she heard Fang Chi's voice coming from the front hall and she frowned. Turning her head, she stood up from her chair and glanced at Xiao Hua, once she was sure that he was in deep sleep … she crossed the room and walked out the room. And sure enough, Fang Chi was standing in the living room with Li Hanjing and Little Zimo, she closed the room behind her and walked toward Fang Chi, her brows tightening as she looked at the sweat dripping down his face and hurried over. " Did you run here? Didn't I say that you stay at home and don't come here? There are still spots of blood that need to be cleaned what are you doing? Aren't you scared that you will have nightmares at night, what will happen if you get startled?"
Fang Chi let Yu Dong shoot out one thing after another and once she stopped he raised his hands and said, " Are you done? Can I speak now?"
" Ah Chi…" she tried to be stern with him but he gave her one of those innocent expressions of his and she gave up.
" I did want to stay at home but then I heard about the entire matter and I couldn't sit still, having someone drop a body is one thing but someone stalking brother Hua is different…don't you think that if we take this matter lightly, his life might be endangered?" He asked with a concerned expression.
" I know, I am thinking about what I should do," said Yu Dong rubbing her temples. " I know the severity of the situation——"
" If so why don't you invite brother Hua to our house?"
