Didn't she fall into Rich Man Yang's hands? Could it be that Yang Xuechen saved her? They had only met once. Since when did their relationship become so good?

Where's Sun Chun? Where is he? When she left that day, she only told him to find her mysterious business partner and didn't tell him the specifics.

She hadn't returned for so many days, so Lee's must be worried sick. Will Sun Chun come to find her?

"Miss Xia Li, are you better?" Just as Xia Li was in a daze, a greeting came from his side.

Xia Li turned around, and saw a white robed Yang Xuechen holding onto a fan, revealing a row of white teeth in his hand, he smiled at her.

"Why am I in your residence? Clearly …" Before Xia Li could finish, he was interrupted by Sun Chun.

"A few days ago, when you had just left the escort company, the news had fallen into the hands of the Rich Man Yang. That evening, I received the news, but unfortunately, the rules of the escort company says that we cannot take the initiative to start a dispute, and we can only wait for the right opportunity to save Miss Xia Li."

"Five days later, one night, for some reason, the Rich Man Yang's gold-gambling den was set on fire. The house was completely burnt to ashes, and I heard that his right-hand man, Ol 'Five, had lost his life.

Not long ago, his subordinate found him on a cliff near the Tianshui Village. He was hung on a tree and was already on his last breath.

"When father of Rich Man Yang wants to report to an official, he was forcefully suppressed by Rich Man Yang, so the matter will end here."

Yang Xuechen's tone changed as a trace of sympathy appeared in his eyes. He stared at Xia Li and said, "The night that Rich Man Yang went missing, Miss Xia Li, you mysteriously appeared outside my residence. When my subordinates recognized you, they immediately informed me."

"At that time, your body was very weak. You didn't have any consciousness, your body was weak, and you didn't have the slightest bit of strength."

As Xia Li listened to everything that had happened in the past few days, he felt as if he was in a dream. He had even taught Rich Man Yang a ruthless lesson. The funniest thing was that Rich Man Yang had actually given up on retaliating.

"Miss Xia Li, you are a lucky person, to actually have obtained the secret protection of a mysterious expert."

Yang Xuechen moved closer to Xia Li by two steps, his expression revealing a trace of inquiry.

"Are you not afraid that the Rich Man Yang will take revenge on you if he finds out that you took me in?" Feeling the cool breeze from the lake, Xia Li pushed the broken hair behind his ears.

"He doesn't dare. He was almost beaten to death this time. Once he recovers, he will definitely not dare to act so arrogantly anymore. He will understand that there's always someone out there."

Yang Xuechen laughed unbridled, he immediately opened up his fan and gently waved it.

"If I save you, you will accept my kindness. In the future, don't sell me any painkillers that you can give me for more than a hundred taels of silver each." Yang Xuechen looked at Xia Li and said.

"You're such a profitable businessman. I never thought that there would be a day when the painkillers would be sold for such a high price."

Xia Li had an expression of surprise, she indeed did not think too much into it.

"Simple thing, can you agree to it this time?" Yang Xuechen pursued closely as he asked.

"This year, a single painkiller is worth no more than a hundred taels of silver." Xia Li thought about it and replied.

"Good, you are really a good businessman." Yang Xuechen closed his fan, holding the fan, he patted his palm and said regretfully.

Xia Li coughed and looked at Yang Xuechen.

"I'll have to trouble Brother Yang to send someone to notify my family in Tianshui Village to bring me back. They must be looking for me everywhere, I don't want them to worry too much."

"Your family? You're not well, the doctor said. You'll need to stay in bed for another half month. " Yang Xuechen never thought that Xia Li would leave so quickly.

"Sun Chun, this is the name of my hubby, and my mother and brother are living in Tianshui Village Village. As Xia Li said that, he bent down to bow to Yang Xuechen, and then uncontrollably knelt down.

Yang Xuechen was so shocked that he immediately went forward to help her up, and the servant who was standing not too far away ran over as well.

Don't worry, I'll send someone to search for your family as soon as possible. You've talked too much and wasted too much energy. Yang Xuechen said as he helped her lie down on the bed. After covering her with a thin blanket, he called for the manager who was standing outside the garden to go look for someone.

Tianshui Village

He was lying at the head of the bed, blankly looking out the window while hoping for Xia Li to return. Unfortunately, even after several days had passed, she still did not see Xia Li. The only news she could rejoice about was that Sun Chun had returned from the outside world three days ago.

He seemed to be very tired. He bought three trays of steamed buns in advance and fed her and Xia Qing, telling her to take good care of her body. When Xia Li returned, he went back to his room to rest and had never come out again.

The days passed peacefully, and Lee's found it hard to suppress her yearning for Xia Li. While she was still feeling better, she got off the bed and dressed, preparing to take Xia Qing to the village entrance again.

At this moment, the voice of a stranger sounded from outside the courtyard.

"May I ask if Xia Li's family is inside?"

When the Lee's heard the two words "Xia Li", he suddenly raised his head. A trace of hope lit up in his red and swollen eyes as he pulled Xia Qing out of the bedroom and into the courtyard.

Lee's sized up the plump middle-aged man who was dressed in silk clothing in front of him. A few young men dressed in green robes followed behind him and respectfully walked over.

"May I ask who you are? I heard you mention the name of my daughter. "

"Right, you must be Xia Li's mother!" The escort company manager looked at Lee's who was dressed in coarse clothes and looked haggard and asked.

"Yes, may I ask who you are?" Do you know our Xia Li? " Lee's's eyes were filled with unconcealable yearning, he ran to the front and grabbed the escort manager's sleeves, and asked anxiously.

"I am the manager of the town's escort company, Miss Xia Li. I am at our escort company." The escort lowered his head and saw the Lee's grabbing onto his sleeves tightly, and said awkwardly.

Lee's followed the manager's gaze and saw his own movements. He released his hand as if he had been electrocuted, and looked somewhat embarrassed as he apologised to the manager.

"I'm sorry, I really want to see my daughter."

"It's fine, I was following our master's orders and came over to pass on a message. Miss Xia Li is staying in our residence for a few more days, she is treating our master, and will be back to see you two soon." The head of the escort company said after careful deliberation.

"So that's how it is. Then I am relieved." Lee's patted his chest and heaved a sigh of relief.

"Then what about Miss Xia Li's hubby? Is Sun Chun here?" the escort looked around the yard and asked.

"hubby?" Lee's's jaw almost dropped to the ground, his face full of shock.

"Yes, is there a problem?" The escort company manager stared at the expression on Lee's's face and asked.

"No …." "Nothing." Lee's waved her hand and closed her mouth. This concerned Xia Li's reputation, as a mother, she could not say much in front of outsiders.

"Sun Chun, he is resting in his room." Lee's was silent for a while before he replied.

"Then, I'll have to trouble you to inform your son-in-law. Since I've already said my piece, I'll go back and report to my master." The head guard looked at Lee's with a complicated look in his eyes. Then, he cupped his hands and left with his men.

Sun Chun, who had been lying down and resting inside, watched the manager leave through the crack of the door, covering the door, feeling the pain coming from his abdomen, he supported himself with difficulty back onto the bed, the sweat on his forehead flowing down his cheeks and dripping onto the floor.

Xia Li was fine, that was good.

Before this month, he was too strong. Before he recovered, he was already running around, relying on the effects of the painkillers. For a moment, he thought that his body was almost healed, but now, a month had passed and the painkillers' effects were no longer effective.

In addition, in the past few days in order to find Xia Li, he had been exhausted both physically and mentally. The pain in his abdomen was like a wave as it violently swept over, causing him to be unable to stand up straight. The only thing he could do was to lay on the bed and endure the pain.

Furthermore, since Lee's was worried about Xia Li's safety, she naturally did not notice the discomfort that Sun Chun's body was experiencing.

Lee's thought about how the escort manager had addressed Xia Li and Sun Chun as their relationship. Although he was shocked for a moment, and was happy to see it, it was normal for the two of them to have feelings for each other. However, it was a little inappropriate for the two to announce their relationship so early in the morning.

With that thought in mind, the Lee's walked to Sun Chun's room and knocked on his door.

"Young Master Sun, are you there?" Lee's stood outside the door and called out politely.

"Auntie …" What's the matter? " Sun Chun laid on the bed, his entire body was in pain as he looked out the door with great difficulty to answer.

"I, want to tell you about Xia Li." Lee's stood outside the door and listened in.

"I'm not free …" Sun Chun frowned in pain and replied impatiently.

"Alright, then let's talk about it when we have time." Lee's could sense the impatience in Sun Chun's heart, he did not dare disturb him anymore and immediately left.

Red River Town Escort Office

"Reporting to master, this subordinate has already brought the message over." The manager walked in front of Yang Xuechen and replied while cupping his hands.

"Alright." Yang Xuechen replied as he waved the fan in his hand to get rid of the heat.

Outside the window, the lotus leaves in the pond had already opened. The pink petals looked like a child's innocent smile. The dragonfly stood on the petals, feeling the fragrance of the lotus flowers.

"What did my mother say? What about Sun Chun? How is he now?" With the servant leading the way, Xia Li arrived at the Flower Hall and asked the head of the escort team.

In reply to Miss Xia Li, I only said that you were helping our master treat her illness and that you would be back in a few days. After your mother heard this, she obviously relaxed. The manager said with a smile.

"Sun Chun... What did my hubby say? " Xia Li immediately changed his mind and asked with a look of anticipation.
