Chapter 638: Chapter 638: Are You Treating Me Like an Outsider?

Lin Xinlan had just leaned in when Rong Shaoze suddenly stopped her by the shoulders, preventing her from moving closer.

"It’s getting late, better go to sleep now! Xiaocong, you should also go to bed, it’s very late!" he said indifferently, then he ended the video call before giving him a chance to speak.

Lin Xinlan said with confusion, "That’s not right, isn’t it morning in City B now? Why are you telling Xiaocong to go to sleep early?"

Rong Shaoze scooped her into his arms, raised an eyebrow, and smiled ambiguously at her, "Then shouldn’t we also rest early?"

Understanding his implication, Lin Xinlan’s face turned red, knowing he wouldn’t let her off.

And Lin Xinlan experienced what it meant to feel like newlyweds after a brief separation.

After the passion subsided, she lay in Rong Shaoze’s arms and couldn’t help asking him about Qiao Yiyang.

The man held her, and a shadow of darkness and uncertainty flickered in his eyes upon hearing her question.

"He’s dead," he said flatly.

Lin Xinlan was shocked and hurriedly asked, "How did he die?"

Rong Shaoze’s gaze turned a bit colder, and his tone chilled a few degrees, "They crashed into a mountain this morning, the plane exploded, and there was nothing left of the bodies."

Lin Xinlan’s face turned white, and she muttered, "Is he really... dead?"

Seeing her reaction, a quick shadow of menace flashed in Rong Shaoze’s eyes.

He half-lowered his eyelids to hide the emotion in his eyes.

"Yes, he’s really dead," he affirmed without a doubt.

Lin Xinlan’s eyes suddenly trembled, her complexion grew even paler, and she quickly covered her emotions with a slight smile, asking, "Then have you taken care of your matters?"

"Which matters of mine?" Rong Shaoze spoke with a certain detachment, but she failed to notice it.

"I mean the events at Yanfeng, I heard that to save me, you worked with the Qian Yue conglomerate, which cost you a significant portion of your power. Rong Shaoze, was the loss severe? The Xuanyuan Family worked so hard to build up Yanfeng; it’s not worth sacrificing so much for me."

Rong Shaoze suddenly held her tight in his arms, not allowing her to see his cold expression.

"Xinlan, I forbid you to talk like that! For you, I’m willing to sacrifice everything, let alone a bit of benefit. Saying these words to me feels like you’re estranging yourself. You’re mine, and I’m yours, you’re not allowed to talk about what’s worth it or not anymore!"

Only then did Lin Xinlan realize, she had inadvertently hurt his pride.

"I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to estrange you. It’s just that my heart... feels uneasy having so many people lose their lives because of me."

"Don’t you dare say sorry to me again! Each time you do, I will punish you once!" warned Rong Shaoze, his tone menacing.

Lin Xinlan couldn’t help but laugh, boastfully saying, "Okay, what’s mine is yours, and what’s yours is mine. No matter how much you sacrifice for me, it’s all expected."

Rong Shaoze finally felt a bit more content, he gently stroked her head, speaking softly, "Xinlan, you shouldn’t feel guilty or blame yourself. None of this is your fault, and even if I lose more, it’s not your fault either. Know this, having you, I have the whole world—I lack nothing. Yet without you, even if I had so much more, I would not desire it... Xinlan, it’s great that you’ve come back to me. From now on, I will never part with you again... we’ll be together until we grow old, and then die together... "

Lin Xinlan lowered her dimmed eyes, her heart filled with panic and unease.

Can they really grow old together?
