"Engagement?"

"Mn, since I promised Xiao Jingyan that I would protect him, I must do it. Moreover, I cannot let my father bear any consequences for me." Xia Yun said softly.

Liu Kai looked at the side of her face and said with a pained heart: "You always think for others, what about you? What about your happiness? "

"My happiness …"

Xia Yun was lost in thought: "I can repay a man who sacrificed everything just to protect me, and am able to let my father live a peaceful life. This is my happiness."

"No."

Liu Kai stood in front of Xia Yun, his hands clutching her shoulders as he said anxiously, "Xia Yun, you clearly know in your heart that the happiness that I am talking about is not what you just said!"

Xia Yun's eyes reddened slightly, "The happiness that you mentioned, I once had, but everything has already passed. I will never see it again in my life."

"No, Xia Yun, you still have a chance. If you want to turn back, you can … "Cough, cough, cough." Halfway through her words, Liu Kai began to cough violently. He let go of Xia Yun's shoulders and covered her mouth with her hands.

Xia Yun turned around and laid on the bed, saying, "You can go back to your room. I'm tired and I want to sleep."

Liu Kai's coughing gradually stopped, and he firmly gripped the captivating red that was coming out of his mouth into his palms. He wanted to say something, but in the end he did not, and only said two words in the end, "Good night." Then he walked out of the bedroom and closed the door gently.

After Liu Kai left the room, he laid on the soft bed and started thinking.

His phone rang.

It was a text message.

"Why are you engaged to me?"

It was sent by Xiao Jingyan.

Xia Yun looked at it but did not reply.

Why?

Previously, Xiao Jingyan had always been protecting her, but now she had the qualifications to protect Xiao Jingyan.

What reason...

'Gratitude? '

A sense of responsibility?

Guilt?

Maybe both, although she was sure there wasn't a trace of love in them.

Xia Yun looked out of the window. It was winter outside and the cold wind was blowing but the house was still very warm. She could barely feel the breath of winter.

The next day.

Xia Yun woke up early, and she specially went to the living room to wait for Lin Zhi.

Seeing Lin Zhi coming down from the stairs, Xia Yun walked over, "Dad, I've thought it through, I want to …"

"Yan'er, don't say anything for now." Lin Zhi interrupted her words, frowning slightly, and said slowly: "I received the news that half an hour ago, Xiao Tianya had a heart attack and died."

"What?"

Xia Yun could not help but be stumped for words, and could not believe her own ears.

Xiao Tianya, dead?

In just one or two hours, the news of the death of Xiao Family Master Xiao Tianya from the top four groups in the entire country had swept across the entire Tiandu City.

The Xiao Family announced to the outside world that Xiao Tianya had always had a heart attack, but because he was too busy doing official business, he kept delaying his disease. In the end, he had a heart attack, and unluckily died.

No one knew that Xiao Tianya had a heart attack, and even the people inside the Xiao Family knew very little about this situation.

No one would have predicted that Xiao Tianya would suddenly pass away, so, this news, like a bomb exploding in the depths of the water, exploded completely within the Tiandu City, especially in the upper echelons of the Tiandu City.

Xiao Family.

On the balcony.

Dong Huifang's entire hand was trembling and her face was green and purple. Her eyes flickered with anger as she stared at Xiao Fengzhi beside her.

Xiao Fengzhi was grinning from ear to ear, his expression looked as though he was blooming with spring wind, completely opposite of Dong Huifang's nervous and furious emotions.

"Who let you do this?" Dong Huifang suppressed her tone as much as possible, and her voice trembled slightly.

"Myself." Xiao Fengzhi looked outside and said.

His indifferent attitude made Dong Huifang even more angry, "Didn't I tell you not to rush?"

"Not in a hurry?"

The corner of Xiao Fengzhi's eyes glanced at Dong Huifang, and she laughed coldly: "Mom, did you not understand the situation at all? Not in a hurry? Could it be that he will only take action after that bitch Lin Zhi has truly gotten married into the Xiao Family? "

"Feng Zhi, do you understand what I mean?" Dong Huifang tried to calm her emotions as much as possible, "If you're in such a hurry, there will be a loophole."

"A mistake?" What kind of mistake? "

Xiao Fengzhi laughed lightly: "Mom, you're old now, so it's all up to me now. You should get some rest and play with these flowers."

Xiao Fengzhi turned around, but just as he was about to walk out of the balcony, he turned his head and said a few words in an indifferent tone, "Actually I'm the same as Old Man, I don't like that man. Did you know, seeing my own mother cheating was really a disgusting matter, no matter how bad that Old Man is?"

"You can keep these flowers, but keep them on this little balcony. Don't move out."

With that, Xiao Fengzhi opened the door to the balcony.

Dong Huifang looked at Xiao Fengzhi, and in her mind, she unconsciously thought back to the scene when Xiao Fengzhi was young, when he was in his embrace, a stream of tears flowed down from the corner of his eyes.

In the bedroom.

Xiao Tianya's cold corpse was lying on the bed.

Personal Doctor Song Hao stood at the side and sighed, his eyes filled with regret and guilt.

Xiao Jingyan stood by the side of the bed and looked at Xiao Tianya's cold face.

"Doctor Song."

Xiao Jingyan suddenly shouted.

Song Hao's body trembled, he had a frightened expression on his face as he turned around, and replied with a trembling voice: "Second Young Master, you called me?"

"The old man was fine yesterday, why did he have a heart attack?" Xiao Jingyan asked.

"Mm …" This... Second Young Master, this is what happens when you have a heart attack. Many sudden deaths occur when you are completely unprepared for it. " Song Hao explained.

Xiao Jingyan's gaze moved away from Xiao Tianya. He looked at Song Hao, paused for a moment, and then asked: "Is that so?"

Song Hao raised his head, upon seeing the pair of azure blue eyes, his heart shivered, then quickly lowered his head again, and immediately replied: "Yes."

Xiao Jingyan looked at Song Hao, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Yesterday, when he returned from the Forest Root Group, Xiao Tianya's heart was unwell, but after taking some medicine and resting for the entire day, Xiao Tianya's spirit was obviously much better. During dinner time, he even hurried him to the Lin Family to propose the engagement.

Why did it suddenly happen?

Dinner!

Xiao Jingyan's blue eyes suddenly shrank. After taking a close look at the nervous Song Hao from the corner of his eye, he turned around and walked out of the room.

He went downstairs to the kitchen.

Last night, Xiao Fengzhi brought An Keer to the Xiao Family and even asked An Keer to cook Red Braised Fish that the old man normally liked to eat.

After Xiao Tianya received the Lin Family's agreement yesterday, he was extremely happy and ate a lot.

Xiao Fengzhi bringing An Keer to the Xiao Family was a very rare occurrence.

Xiao Jingyan understood Xiao Fengzhi, this person always treated women as lustful meat, and simply could not be described as emotional at all. All these years, he had never brought a woman back to the Xiao Family.

Furthermore, from the moment An Keer had entered the Xiao Family, Dong Huifang's expression had been unsightly. It could be seen that Dong Huifang did not like An Keer at all, and had not even known that An Keer would come.

An Keer's appearance, Dong Huifang's complexion, Xiao Tianya's sudden heart attack.

Everything that had happened last night was very strange.
