Chen Xue looked tenderly at Feng Lin and continued to reply, "I've been taking care of you in the hospital these past few days. No one else showed up."
Feng Lin intended to contact someone but reached out and felt nothing. "Which district is this? Where's my phone?"
"It's not far from the restaurant where you were found. We're still in the old city district," Chen Xue quickly soothed him.
"Your phone was broken when you fell. I took it for repair, but the signal here is not very good. You may not be able to contact others for the time being."
He came to Island B for his honeymoon this time, mainly to accompany Xiaoyu to relax. To create the atmosphere, he deliberately didn't bring his subordinates with him.
He thought that in such a remote place, no one would target the Feng family, but now it seems that it was a fatal mistake.
No subordinates, no communication tools, in a foreign country, and he had lost contact with Xiaoyu.
Feng Lin closed his eyes and forced himself to calm down.
The more in such a situation, the less he could panic.
He knew Su Xianyu. She knew where to wait for him. As long as he could contact his forces in the country as soon as possible...
"Thank you for saving me," he said calmly when he opened his eyes again.
But beneath that calm, there was a surging undercurrent. "Name your price. How much do you want as a reward?"
The smile on Chen Xue's face froze for a moment. Then her eyes reddened slightly, looking a bit aggrieved. "I didn't save you for money."
She leaned closer, her voice choking. "Feng Lin, I know this is sudden, but... from the first time I saw you, I've had a different feeling for you."
Feng Lin frowned even tighter. His tone was cold, filled with rejection and disgust. "I'm married."
"But when you had an accident, your wife wasn't even by your side!" If it were her in this situation, she would never run away in fear of death!
Chen Xue seemed not to understand his rejection and continued, "Moreover, the situation was urgent that day. To get the doctors to save you with all their might and to avoid arousing suspicion, I told others... that you're my fiancé."
"What did you say?" Feng Lin's eyes instantly turned even colder.
"I had no other choice," Chen Xue quickly explained, her eyes getting even redder. "Your identity was unknown at that time. When the hospital asked, I had to say so."
"Don't worry. I'll explain it clearly to everyone when you recover... but for now, could you please cooperate with me? There are many people here. It would be bad if your enemies find you."
She made a reasonable argument, even with a bit of a careful plea.
Feng Lin was silent for a few seconds.
It was indeed not suitable for him to expose his identity now, especially before he had figured out the situation around him and found Xiaoyu.
"Fine," he finally said coldly. "But only when strangers come around."
A fleeting look of joy flashed in Chen Xue's eyes, but her face still looked docile. "Okay, I'll do as you say."
She stood up and tucked the quilt in for him. "You must be tired since you just woke up. Sleep a bit more. I'll be right outside. Call me if you need anything."
Feng Lin ignored her and closed his eyes. His mind was filled with the image of Su Xianyu.
Xiaoyu, where are you...
[Wuwuwu, the screen that was black for a few days has finally come back. I almost thought the protagonist was going to die from the gunshot this time!]
[Where's Xiaoyu? Why isn't Sister Xiaoyu by Feng Lin's side? This isn't right. Could something have happened to her? I'm so worried!]
[Didn't Feng Lin tell her to leave first during the shootout? Could Su Xianyu have just run away and now she's too ashamed to come back?]
[Get out, you troublemaker upstairs. Sister Xiaoyu isn't such a person at all. She must have been delayed by something. Worry +1]
[Hey, could this be the kind-hearted female supporting character that the author said would be added after modifying the setting? She does seem quite kind.]
[And this young lady looks so gentle. If it weren't for her, Feng Lin might not have made it through this time.]
[I think she's just trying to steal someone's boyfriend! There are so many kinds of close relationships. Why didn't she say they were siblings? Instead, she said they were fiancés. It's really annoying.]
[Why be so harsh? The situation was so urgent at that time. Saving the person was the most important thing. Maybe the girl didn't think too much about it!]
[Even if she didn't know at first, Feng Lin just clearly said that he's married, and she still looks like she wants to get close to him. I really don't know what to say.]
[This is love at first sight, destiny! I'm shipping it! Feng Lin has such a cold personality. He should be paired with a gentle and virtuous... ]
In the room, Feng Lin didn't really fall asleep.
He slowly opened his eyes after he heard the footsteps outside the door fade away.
When the woman was talking just now, her eyes were evasive. She was obviously hiding something.
Especially when he asked if anyone had come to look for him.
Did that mean that Xiaoyu was okay and had been trying to find him?
He knew Xiaoyu. With her personality, once she knew he had been shot, even if the sky fell, she would find a way to come back and stay by his side.
And the phone. Even if it was broken, if an ordinary person saved him, there was no reason not to try to contact someone who knew him.
This Chen Xue definitely had something fishy going on.
Feng Lin's fingers slowly curled up under the quilt.
He was physically weak now and couldn't tip off the enemy. The top priority was to contact his forces in the country.
He remembered that there was a miniature communicator hidden in the inner pocket of his windbreaker for emergencies.
The situation was chaotic at that time. He didn't know if it was still there.
He took a deep breath, endured the sharp pain, and slowly moved his body. He used his intact right hand to feel for the folded clothes beside him.
But after feeling through all the pockets carefully, he still couldn't find what he was looking for.
Damn it!
Feng Lin closed his eyes and forced himself to calm down.
It didn't matter. He had plenty of patience.
Since Chen Xue wanted to play the role of the affectionate savior, she would surely show her true colors.
He just had to wait, wait for her to let down her guard, and wait for his body to recover a bit...
He would definitely find Xiaoyu.
No one, and nothing, could or was worthy of standing between him and Xiaoyu!
Feng Lin's eyes darkened. There was a paranoid and crazy possessiveness surging in the depths of his eyes.
His little wife could only stay by his side.
No one and nothing could separate them.
The sunlight outside the window shone through the glass and cast flickering shadows on his pale face. Half of it was the sickly paleness, and the other half was the sinister look hidden in the shadows.
When Chen Xue knocked on the door again, she was holding a plastic bag in her hand, which contained the newly delivered gauze and iodine.
She pushed the door open and saw Feng Lin reclining against the head of the bed with his eyes closed, looking like he was resting. The bandage on his left arm had been re-wrapped, and there seemed to be nothing wrong.
"You're awake?" She put the plastic bag on the table. "I bought some fresh pork ribs. I'll make soup for you tonight."
Feng Lin didn't open his eyes. He just let out a grunt.
Chen Xue put down the things and subconsciously glanced at the bedside table. Her broken old mobile phone was still in its original place, and the charging cable was properly plugged into the wall.
She let out a sigh of relief and turned around to go to the kitchen to wash the ribs.
But she didn't expect that Feng Lin still managed to make a phone call.
"Hello?"
" ... Who are you talking to, baby?"
