The Scheming Billionaire's Heartfelt Devotion

Chapter 425 - 439: Did I dig up your ancestors’ graves or annihilate your entire clan in my past life?

"Hmm, I’ll stay with you."Lu Jinghan lifted the blanket and lay down beside her, wrapping Han Xi in his arms and using one hand to gently massage her head.

In just a little while, Han Xi drifted off to sleep, and Lu Jinghan tucked her in before getting up and heading to the study.

He was really worried about Feng Yi and the others. That place was overseas, where Liao Tingxiao had significant influence. If discovered, Feng Yi could truly be in danger.

Lu Jinghan stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, his hand in his pocket, and dialed his superior from the military.

He briefly explained the situation, hoping the military could send someone overseas to support Feng Yi and ensure his safety.

The person on the other end quickly agreed, but they could only send a few people to help, as they didn’t have evidence against Liao Tingxiao’s drug manufacturing and trafficking activities, thus couldn’t dispatch an entire team.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Jinghan took out a cigarette box from his pants pocket, pulled out a cigarette, leaned his head, and lit it. Among the swirling smoke, the red ember flickered at his fingertips.

.......

The next morning, when Han Xi woke up, her head felt much better.

"Awake? Feeling better?"

"Much better. Did you not sleep well last night?"

Han Xi lifted the blanket and got out of bed, feeling a bit distressed seeing Lu Jinghan’s bloodshot eyes.

"It’s nothing. Just handled some company files last night and went to bed late." He raised his hand to gently rub Han Xi’s head, "Go wash up quickly."

Han Xi nodded and headed to the bathroom. After freshening up and dressing, they went downstairs together.

After breakfast, Lu Jinghan drove Han Xi to the hospital before returning to the company.

Around ten in the morning, Lu Jinghan received a call from Feng Yi, reporting they safely arrived overseas, reassuring him.

At the hospital, Han Xi had just finished a surgery when she received a call from Yan Xiao, insisting she must buy lunch.

Exhausted, Han Xi pinched her brow, initially wanting to postpone, but Yan Xiao said he was leaving for a filming trip out of town the next day and wouldn’t return for several months.

In the end, Han Xi had to agree. After hanging up, she called Chu Ci and Li Manman, inviting them to join for lunch.

After work, Han Xi hailed a cab directly to the restaurant; as she entered, the other three were already there, with dishes ordered and waiting to start.

Han Xi walked over, took off her jacket, and pulled out a chair to sit at the dining table.

"Sister Xiao Xi, you really had me worried sick that day. Who kidnapped you? Do you need me to find someone to deal with them?"

"Shooting your mouth off. Lu Jinghan was there; what could you possibly do?" Li Manman gave Yan Xiao a sidelong glance with a mischievous smirk.

"Did I steal from your ancestors in a past life or consume your entire clan? Why do you always fight when you see me?"

"Sis is just speaking the honest truth. Who cares to fight with you."

Chu Ci shook her head, exasperated: "You two, calm down for a bit, won’t you? Aren’t you tired?"

Having performed surgeries all morning, Han Xi was now tired and hungry and really didn’t want to hear them bickering nonstop by her ear: "Alright, let’s eat quickly."

"Chu Ci, we haven’t met in ages." Suddenly, a man’s deep voice came from behind.

Chu Ci turned, smiling lightly as she stood to greet, "I thought the voice sounded familiar; turns out it’s Brother Yu."
