Chapter 564 - 569: Sorry, I Can’t Be with You...
Only Shao Mangliang remained.
"What’s happening? Don’t tell me you called me here just to pass on this message? This guy, always scheming against me!"
Indeed, with Shao Mangliang around, there could be evidence for Xing Chen’s alibi.
This way, the people at home wouldn’t worry about him.
Xing Chen arranged it this way just to put his mother’s mind at ease.
And as for himself, after doing what he should for others, could only return home in loneliness.
Dismissing the servants in the villa, Xing Chen went up to the second floor alone.
The reason he appeared so calm, as if nothing happened, was because he knew that if he continued causing a scene, more sedatives would await him.
Those things could only let him live in illusion, never in reality.
And only if he stayed clear-headed, only if he lived, could he arrange for people to search for Xiangsi.
Only if he lived well could he embrace her when she returned one day!
Yes, he believed that his Xiangsi would definitely return!
She was so strong and brave, she wouldn’t easily lose her life...
With this belief, Xing Chen managed to calm himself down in just five days.
First, he went to the bathroom to take a shower and put on a white robe.
Then he opened a bottle of red wine, sitting alone by the bed, sipping slowly.
He had already drunk a bottle of red wine by the seaside, yet his mind was still sober.
In silence, Xing Chen drank another bottle of red wine and finally took out the brandy.
A row of empty wine bottles lay scattered on the table, and at this moment, Xing Chen was slightly drunk.
His distinctively jointed hand slowly rubbed against the soft brocade quilt, as if he could feel the warmth left behind.
"Is it cold at the bottom of the sea? I’m sorry I can’t be with you..."
His voice, who knows when it started, became choked and trembling.
Warm liquid constantly slid down his cheeks, tasting salty and bitter when it reached his lips.
Yes, Alan was right; he was not a man!
He watched helplessly as his woman fell into the sea, and he could do nothing!
He couldn’t even dive into the sea to save her!
Because of the responsibilities on his shoulders, his mission, he couldn’t die...
He looked around the room, empty, desolate.
His vision blurred for a moment, then everything became clear.
The bed where Ran Xiangsi slept, the dressing table she used, the robe she wore, Ran Xiangsi...
Everything was related to the woman he deeply loved!
Memories, sweet and sad, all swept over him, like an unstoppable flood!
The weight on Xing Chen’s heart was unbearable!
He suddenly broke down into sobs, like a child, falling at the corner of the bed, crying in such loneliness and sadness...
The night wind blew into the spacious room, howling and making his heart ache even more.
Five days.
For someone in a coma, it was just a short time of sleep.
When the boundless darkness came to an end, the sleeping soul would eventually be awakened.
At the moment of falling into the icy water, Ran Xiangsi thought that she might truly die.
Indeed, the seawater was so cold, the sea so deep, and she couldn’t swim, so surviving would be a miracle!
Yet, a miracle did happen.
Somehow regaining consciousness, Xiangsi struggled to blink her eyes, feeling her eyelids incredibly heavy...
After much effort, she finally opened her eyes, only to be greeted by a strong white light.
