Chapter 143 - I LOVE YOU YI LAN, I REALLY DO

" How could you be Ok? You are losing a lot of blood right now. Wait let me put pressure on the wound so that it will stop bleeding", Yi Lan said trying to turn her over but Lie Ruge resisted. She told him that she was only comfortable in her current position. Soon afterwards they started hearing approaching footsteps but Yi Lan refused to let go of her. He said he was going to stay with her no matter what.

" Lanlan, it's Ok that I'm the only one who got hurt or do you want the two of us to get killed right now? We can't give our enemies the pleasure to laugh at us Ok? We are the best martial artists the world has ever seen so show them what you've got? Or don't you want to listen to me right now because I am hurt?", Lie Ruge asked.

" Ok, I will go but just wait for me Ok? I will be back in a jiffy", Yi Lan said gently making her rest her back against the car. He quickly picked up a dagger and a gun in his hand. Since he noticed that the two of them were coming at the right hand side he quickly turned the other side and run to meet up with them so that they will not get to the back of the car before he got to them. The assassins did not even notice that he was around them until he pierced them badly with the dagger. When he was through, he made sure to shoot their two hands in order to prevent them from attacking him and Lie Ruge again. He quickly rushed back to embrace her again after he was through.

" Fei Yan, I need the private jet in six minutes time. If you don't get here in exactly six minutes then all of you should just kill yourself before the jet lands here or else you won't be able to fathom how mercilessly I will kill all of you", Yi Lan said fiercely while disconnecting the call immediately.

" Ge'er, I know that it must hurt a lot but just hold on Ok? Help will arrive in about fives. Ge'er please stay with me, you are not permitted to leave me alright?", Yi Lan asked planting a kiss on her forehead. He couldn't stand the way she was groaning in pain although she was trying all her best not show any sign of pains.

" Lanlan, can you bring your ears a little closer? There is something important I want to say to you", Lie Ruge said inaudibly as she tried her possible best not to show that she was in so much pains. Yi Lan was so scared as he slowly brought his right ear close to her mouth. He was scared because he thought that Lie Ruge wanted to bid her goodbye. Immediately he brought his ears close by, Lie Ruge whispered into his ears,

" I love you". This three words caused Yi Lan's body to immediately tensed up. He thought for a minute that maybe he did not hear her correctly, so he went on to confirm what he heard.

" What did you just say Ge'er?", Yi Lan asked cuddling her very close to his body.

" I love you very much Yi Lan, I have always loved you. I'm sorry I couldn't say it earlier than this", Lie Ruge said planting a light kiss on Yi Lan's lips as tears flow down from her eyes freely. Yi Lan's heart felt like it was stabbed a thousand times. It was then he realized just how painful it was when the person you love made his/her profession of love to you for the first time on their dying bed. The pain was a thousand worse than the goodbye messages people normally say on their dying bed. Today was supposed to be the happiest day of his life since she has just said the exact words he had always wanted to hear from her but reverse was the case. No matter how much he tried to force a smile on his face he couldn't just bring himself to smile no matter how hard he tried.

" I love you a million times more, so please don't leave me Ok? Loving you as become a habit to extent that I can't live without you by my side so please don't leave if you don't want me to completely lose myself alright", Yi Lan said, this time around the tears he had tried so much to control drop on its own.

" I wanted today to be the most special day in our lives but I'm sorry ... Khoff Khak Khak… I messed it up", Lie Ruge said as she began to cough out blood. Yi Lan was restless when he saw her cough out blood, so he immediately patted her chest to calm her down.

" Ge'er, it is not your fault that you got injured Ok? And today is still the happiest day of my life despite the fact that you didn't confess your feelings like you had planned to do it alright? You don't have to say anything again, you can say all you've got to say after you have recovered Ok", Yi Lan said stroking her hair with his already bloody hands. He quickly dialed Fei Yan's line once again.

" What the hell is keeping you from arriving until now", Yi Lan said coldly.

" Boss we have already arrived, we are about to land right now and Boss it has not yet exceeded six minutes, so we are saved right?", Fei Yan asked timidly.

" It doesn't matter whether it has or has not exceeded the time limit but just know that if you don't land in exactly two minutes I will blow off all your heads", Yi Lan threatened coldly before he quickly disconnected the call.

" Lanlan, don't cry because I'm alright. It pains me so much to see you cry. Don't cry again Ok", Lie Ruge said before she slowly raised her trembling right hand to clean the tears off Yi Lan's face before she slowly tried to close her eyes. Yi Lan shook her gently and told her to stay awake, and she did stay awake for one minutes before she slowly shut her eyes. It was at that very moment that the jet landed. Fei Yan was trembling when he got down from the jet, he was afraid he Boss was going to blow off his head although he arrived some seconds earlier. Yi Lan quickly carried her inside the jet for the medical practitioners to administer first aid to her.

" Clean this mess up and make sure they confessed before today runs out or else I will use each and every one of your heads as compensation for the atrocities that they have committed", Yi Lan said before the door of the jet immediately shut. Inside the jet, the doctors immediately tried to stop the bleeding since she was bleeding a lot. Yi Lan immediately dialed Xiao Bai's line to inform her about what has happened so that she will not get unnecessarily worried when she did not hear from Lie Ruge.

" Hello Young Miss Xiao, I just want to inform you that Ge'er has been shot, so we are on our way to the hospital right now. I just called you to inform you about this so that you will not panic when you did not get in touch with her", Yi Lan said watching as Lie Ruge wriggle in pain as a liquid was poured on her wound to stop the bleeding.

" What? That is impossible. Oh, my gosh! How is she right now? Is she bleeding a lot? Is the injury serious? Can she still talk right now?", Xiao Bai asked all at once without even taking a break.

" Relax Miss Xiao Bai and speak slowly Ok", Yi Lan said.

" Oh! Sorry about that. Let's leave the other questions for some other time but Young Master Yi I just want to state a very important fact to you. Ge'er does not allow any other doctor to lay their hands on her apart from those working in her private hospital. It is at the same building that her research team is using. I will send you the address right this minute. Pardon my manners I was so carried away when I heard that Ge'er was hurt that's why I forgot to ask about your well-being. So how are you? I hope you didn't get hurt?", Xiao Bai asked worriedly.

" I am fine and I have just received the address, I will talk to you later on because I'm quite busy right now", Yi Lan said.

" Please take very good care of Ge'er for me Ok? I'm on my way there right now", Xiao Bai said with concern.

" You don't have to tell me that, I will definitely take good care of her", Yi Lan said as he disconnected the line. It took them five minutes before the jets landed on the rooftop of the research center. On arriving doctors were already there awaiting their arrival. Without wasting much time Lie Ruge was immediately rushed to the operating room with Yi Lan helping to push the stretcher until they arrived in front of the operating room. Yi Lan wanted to enter the operating room too but the doctors stopped him. Xiao Bai arrived about twenty minutes later breathing heavily while Yun Yi and Tan Fan arrived some minutes after Xiao Bai's arrival. Xiao Bai tried to comfort Yi Lan despite the fact that she also needed someone to comfort her too. Yi Lan was so restless, he kept on walking to and fro the front of the operating room no matter how many times Xiao Bai and the guys advised him to sit down and relax that nothing bad was going to happen to Lie Ruge. After pacing about for about five hours, Yi Lan just stood and rested his back on the wall when he did not have any more strength to walk about. Finally, after waiting for about a total of seven hours, the door of the operating room opened. Yi Lan was the first person to rush forward before the rest followed behind.

" How did the surgery go?", Yi Lan asked anxiously.

" The surgery was successful but.....", the doctor paused in the middle of his sentence leaving everyone anxious.
