Rodey's dark gaze was fixed at Ying Yue. It felt as if she was slowly getting sucked into them with nowhere to escape. At that moment, when she felt his seriousness for her, she forgot all about her disappointment because right now, he was looking at only her. She could see only her image reflected in his orbs. And with the kiss just now, she realized that she was his last. So his past with those other women didn't matter. I am stupid. I shouldn't bother with the past. It was out of everybody's control.…

Bai Li carefully gauged Rodey's expression. "Why are you so quiet? It isn't like you, Rodey. Oh, wait. You seriously assumed she would stay single? Isn't that selfish?" Bai Li sneered. "But oops. Who am I talking to? You were always a selfish scum in the first place." Rodey said nothing. "Well, good luck to Ying Yue for loving a scum like you. I feel bad for her." He clenched his fists. Bai Li knew he had said enough to make Rodey realize. He smirked and left. Rodey stood in his place in a stupor.…

--- The next day, Ying Yue brought Rodey's lunch as usual. Her injuries were almost healed, and Rodey was also slowly recovering though the doctor said it would take a few more days. As she was about to reach Rodey's ward, she was stopped by a voice. "Um…" She turned and was surprised to see the same man who had tried to flirt with her a few days ago. She kept quiet. His face was still injured and bandaged because of Rodey's punch and looked weak. "Yes?" He lowered his head and bowed before her.…

--- *** Back to Bai Li's side, Major Shi Jianguo knocked on the door as he stood at the entrance of his ward. Xin Lei and Bai Li looked towards him. Bai Li smiled. "Major General Shi. You don't have to knock." Major General Shi chuckled. "Of course I have to. Who knows when you young lads get cuddly and cozy and all lovey-dovey? I don't want to barge in at any moment." Xin Lei coughed, feeling embarrassed. "Of course not." Bai Li shook his head. "You only know how to tease. Anyway, how are things…

A few days later. Ying Yue was on her way to bring breakfast for Rodey. As she reached near his ward, she heard noises coming inside. Rodey is talking to somebody… She stepped closer to the door and saw two men she never met before. One was a middle-aged man sitting beside Rodey, while the other was a young man standing beside the older man. But they resembled each other a lot. Are they father and son? She could hear their voices. Inside the ward, Xin Nianzu said, "You must know why we came…

Ying Yue finally somehow managed to drag Rodey away from Bai Li. "You seem to be quite smiling at that bastard, heh!" He was so pissed off that he wanted to punch a hole somewhere. She said, "I was just polite. He helped us after all." "What help! He didn't do anything worthwhile." She shook her head. Then she thought of what Bai Li had said. 'Jealous?' Her heart skipped a beat. She peeked at him. Rodey shot a glare at her. "What?" She tried not to, but her lips were automatically curving into a…

A few hours later, Rodey got really bored lying on the bed. "That's it. I cannot stay in this place any longer! It's suffocating!" For a free bird like Rodey, staying cooped up in this place was akin to a death's warrant. He got up just when the nurse entered. She widened her eyes. "Sir! You cannot get up." "Shut up, or I will kill you this instant." "Doc-" "Open your mouth, and you are dead. I am just going out for some fresh air, damn it. I am not gonna die from that," he muttered, "pesky…

Rodey gritted his teeth. "I don't have to explain anything to you. I do whatever I want to do. I felt like betraying, so I did! It's got nothing to do with you, so get off your high horse." Ying Yue calmly said, "I won't. Maybe I wouldn't have told you this if I hadn't known your feelings, but now I do." "It's a mistake! I was just overwhelmed, so don't get it to your head, dumb woman." "But you didn't do everything before that feeling overwhelmed." Rodey wanted to bang his head on the wall. Why is…

--- *** A few hours later, Ying Yue entered Rodey's ward. He seemed to be resting. She bit her lip and felt nervous. After he realized that she gave him her blood to survive, Rodey hadn't spoken a word to her. Slowly stepped inside and sat beside him. She had brought a food container with her that she kept aside on the table. Rodey had his eyes closed and was evenly breathing. As she looked closely, she saw his injured condition. His abdomen was bandaged entirely, and there were some minor wounds here…

--- *** Luo Zhiqiang and Liao Huifang bid goodbye to the couple. Now that everything was over, she felt a little nervous. She didn't know what to talk about. "Oh, yes!" Luo Zhiqiang looked at her. "What?" "What is Qi Qiang doing?" "Hm? Didn't I say that he is working with our team to collect evidence from FriendsChat and crack more of the dark web sites that do illegal things?" "O-oh yes. Ahaha, I forgot," she coughed. "Xin Zhen has also decided to offer him a position in the IB in the…
