Zhou Feiyang’s voice had failed her; she could only move her lips soundlessly. In her final moments, she let out a grating, shrill cry.
Sheng Yang didn't spare a glance for the dying woman. Wiping the blood from her lip with a single finger, she straightened her posture. With a calm demeanor, she sat back down and reached out to Tong Liang. “Did you locate him?”
“No…” Tong Liang’s breathing was heavy and ragged. Even with a gas mask, the air was nearly impossible to breathe. The area was littered with wreckage, and visibility had dropped to almost nothing. Had it not been for the advanced high-tech weaponry developed by the Hall of One Man’s Rule, he wouldn't have been able to move a single inch.
Scanning the area with thermal imaging, he could detect no signs of life…
Beads of sweat formed on Sheng Yang’s forehead. Clutching her throbbing stomach, she forced herself upright and began to walk forward with determination.
“Madam…” The subordinate ordered to stay with her was frantic. Tong Liang had given strict instructions that Madam must not leave!
Sheng Yang turned her head toward him. “If death is coming, I intend to die by his side.”
Hearing those words, the man’s heart swelled with emotion. He firmly patted his own shoulder. “Very well, Madam. I will go with you.”
The destruction at the site was even more gruesome than they had anticipated. Smoke and fire dominated the landscape, leaving no clear path. It was a treacherous trek for an able-bodied person, let alone a severely injured pregnant woman who had just been coughing up blood.
The man, Zhou Chao, followed closely behind Sheng Yang, yet his footing was less steady than hers. While he was mentally praising her resilience, he looked up only to find she had vanished from his sight.
“Madam…!”
Once she was clear of Zhou Chao, Sheng Yang increased her pace, desperate to find Yi Juncheng.
Suddenly, a support pillar above her burned through, collapsing toward her in a heap of flames. By the time she noticed it, escape was impossible. Her eyes remained eerily calm. Suddenly, a shadow lunged at her, and the two tumbled across the ground together. The man was careful to shield her stomach as they rolled.
Instead of showing anger, he leaned in and whispered against her ear, “Why are you so disobedient?”
Sheng Yang shut her eyes tightly. Her eyelids stung from the hot moisture, and a long-buried sensation filled her chest. “I was certain you hadn't died.”
“Just because I survived doesn't mean I can save you every time. Yangyang, you are losing your composure…”
His words were cut short as her lips suddenly pressed against his. She initiated the kiss with a fervor she had never shown before.
She desperately needed this physical touch to prove to herself that he was truly alive…
Tears rolled down her cheeks, making her almond-shaped eyes shimmer.
…
Following their return, Yi Juncheng was admitted to Lanca Hospital for the night—
“Boss, you must stay put. Your injuries are critical. The medical staff insisted on three days of observation in the ICU…”
Tong Liang tried his best to talk sense into him, but he could only watch in shock as his boss ignored every word. Yi Juncheng ripped the IV tube from his hand and walked unsteadily through the glass doors.
He rarely felt the need to justify his behavior, but this time, he offered a reason. “Yangyang won't be able to sleep without me there.”
Tong Liang stood there, speechless.
‘Are you sure about that?
‘Isn’t it actually you who can’t sleep without your wife?’
The Hall Master seemed even more attached since his return. Tong Liang worried that the man might simply quit and dump the entire management of the Hall of One Man’s Rule onto his shoulders.
Deep in her slumber, Sheng Yang felt herself being pulled into a warm embrace. She drifted toward wakefulness but kept her eyes closed.
Yi Juncheng gave her cheek a playful pinch. “You little heartless girl.”
When he arrived, she had been sleeping peacefully and obediently. Wrapped in the blanket with her body curled up, she didn't look at all like the warrior who had just conducted a rescue mission.
“Do you really have the heart to wake a pregnant woman?” As soon as Sheng Yang spoke, the formidable Hall Master of One Man’s Rule fell silent immediately. “Go back to sleep…”
For the first time, he began to hum a lullaby, his voice sounding deep and magnetic in the quiet room.
