After all, Mr. Zhou had seen Han Qing protecting his daughter perfectly with his own eyes when they first came out. Yan had a blanket wrapped around her, whereas Han Qing only had a small towel for modesty; his clothes were torn and ripped while burns littered his skin. At a glance, one could see that he had successfully protected Yan, but the two men were still fighting even after they arrived at the hospital. Their bodies were obviously in good shape, but what about Mr. Zhou’s own daughter? She was nowhere to be seen, and the emergency room’s light was still glaring overhead. At his question, the entire place fell silent.
Luo Huimei consoled him a moment later and said, “It’ll be okay. Yan was born under a lucky star, so she’ll definitely be alright. Stop asking pointless questions.”
Mr. Zhou pursed his lips. Seeing that Yan was still in the emergency room, he was full of worry. If he could barge in and take a good look at her, he would not hesitate to do so. Since Luo Huimei and Mr. Zhou were both present, Xiao Su did not make any other movements. His face was stiff as he sat down, emanating an aura that kept people from approaching him.
Han Muzi took advantage of the current calm and rushed over to Han Qing’s side, asking him softly, “Are you alright, Qing?”
At the sight of his sister, Han Qing’s frigid eyes warmed up slightly. He pressed his lips together before saying in a warm tone, “I’m alright.”
However, Han Muzi was still worried. “Does it not hurt? Do you want the doctors to check up on you?” As soon as she spoke, she felt like she had said the wrong thing; Yan was still in the emergency room, so how could Han Qing possibly leave? Clearly, people had a tendency to become more flustered when there were more things going on at the same time.
Just then, Ye Moxuan walked over and grabbed Han Muzi, stealing her away from Han Qing’s sight. The family of three then sat down on the chairs by the side.
As time ticked by, the door to the emergency room finally swung open at last. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when the doctors announced that Yan and the child in her belly were fine; they only needed to be kept for observation in the hospital a little while longer. After the collective sigh, surprise rocked Mr. Zhou as he whispered to Luo Huimei, “Yan is pregnant? When did she get pregnant? Isn’t she still unmarried?”
Luo Huimei simply couldn’t stop herself from rolling her eyes upon hearing his words. “Do you think that young people nowadays are like us when we were young, you fossil? Stop making a mountain out of a molehill.” Luo Huimei placed a hand to her chest. “It’s fortunate enough that both the mother and child are safe. Otherwise, this will really be…”
At any rate, everyone was fine now; they could all stop worrying. Han Qing and Yan’s parents immediately went to visit Yan after she was transferred to a regular ward. However, Xiao Su no longer had any business being there because he was an outsider. Once he knew that Yan was alright, he proceeded to leave.
Han Muzi felt an inexplicable feeling of pity as she watched Xiao Su’s lonely figure, but it was quickly put to the back of her mind; there were still many important things to look into. For example, how did the fire start? Why didn’t Yan know that there was a fire? Judging by how strong and powerful the fire was, she would’ve been able to immediately realize what was going on when she was in her room, so why did Yan know nothing about it at all? Those were questions that had to be thoroughly investigated.
Therefore, Han Muzi conveyed her thoughts to Ye Moxuan. After listening to her, Ye Moxuan fell silent for a while before he replied, “You don’t have to worry about this—just leave it to me.”
Surprisingly, Little Bean had the same idea as his father, which was a rare occurrence. “That’s right, Mommy. You don’t have to worry anymore—Daddy and I will look into everything properly.”
Ye Moxuan swept his gaze over Little Bean upon hearing that, the disdain in his eyes very evident. Little Bean said to him indignantly, “What’s with that look, Daddy? Don’t you believe me?”
Ye Moxuan did not respond to him, but this clearly answered Little Bean’s question. Little Bean mentally gave an angry grunt, deciding that he would get to the bottom of this matter sooner than his father.
Meanwhile, Xu Yanwan had received a wedding invitation. The day before she received the invite, she had gone drinking and ended up absolutely hammered. This was the first time she had lost control of herself to this extent, and it was also the first time she had drunk so wildly without regard for any consequences. It’s only just this once, Xu Yanwan thought to herself in a drunken state. Just this once in her life—she would not be this distraught over a man ever again in the future.
Xu Yanwan had no idea how much alcohol she had imbibed later on. Regardless, she was already back in her own room when she woke up. It was completely silent; other than the splitting headache she had, it seemed like nothing had happened yesterday. She gripped her head as she sat up, turning around to look outside the window. The sun was already up in the sky, and she didn’t know what time it was.
She hadn’t thought of going to Han Qing’s wedding. She wasn’t a woman with a big heart; Xu Yanwan couldn’t bring herself to see her beloved man step into the wedding hall with another woman, so she did not plan to show up at the wedding. However, she was contemplating if she should go. After all, Han Qing had helped her out a lot. If it hadn’t been for him, the Xu Family wouldn’t have been able to be revived. With that thought in mind, Xu Yanwan slowly got out of bed to wash up and dress herself. After hesitating for a while, she picked up the invitation and went on her way. I should go. Their wedding should be well underway if I go at this hour—I can just give them a toast and leave.
That was Xu Yanwan’s reasoning. However, she hadn’t expected to see a crowd of people outside the wedding venue when she arrived. The place was sealed off, so she wasn’t able to enter at all. She was confused. What was going on? Had she come to the wrong place? Xu Yanwan pulled out the invitation and double-checked the address. She was at the right place, but she still felt that it was odd. Therefore, she had no choice but to ask the people around her, “What’s going on? Isn’t there supposed to be a wedding here today?”
The person she called out to gave her a strange look before looking at the invitation in her hand and realizing what was going on. He then replied, “You’re here for the wedding? Why are you only here at this time?”
“I got delayed due to some other matters. Has the wedding ended already?” That quickly? Xu Yanwan could feel herself relaxing as she sighed. If the wedding was over, it would be great for her—she wouldn’t need to go in and toast anyone.
“It didn’t exactly end; a fire broke out in the venue, so the wedding has been canceled for the time being.”
At the mention of a fire, Xu Yanwan raised her eyebrows as her heart jumped in response as well. “A f-fire?” What’s going on? She wasn’t sure why, but she felt a sense of dread gradually blooming in her chest when she heard the word ‘fire’.
“That’s right. I’m also one of the invited guests, but I’m not quite sure about the details. I just heard that the bride was caught in a fire; the groom then charged in to save her without regard for his own life. When the fire trucks and ambulances came, both the bride and groom were carted away together in an ambulance.”
“What did you say?!” Xu Yanwan was in utter shock, the color from her face draining completely in an instant. She grabbed the man’s collar in disbelief as she cried out, “Who was sent to the hospital?”
