Chapter 856: Chapter 859: You’re Not Married, I’m Not Married

Watching her enchanting figure leave the ward, Xia Liu secretly rejoiced.

He had finally won over Guo Man. Now, all he needed was the right moment to step into the Guo Family.

Guo Man didn’t stay away for long. Just a few minutes later, she returned to the ward.

In her hands was a small container filled with soup.

“The doctor said your physique is stronger than the average person, so you don’t need to worry too much about other issues. Here, this bone broth is for you.”

Hearing her words, Xia Liu nearly burst out laughing.

What did she mean by “don’t need to worry about other issues”?

Does having a strong body mean you can do whatever you want…?

Of course, Xia Liu didn’t waste Guo Man’s kind gesture. But just as he tried to sit up, Guo Man gently restrained him.

“Even though you’re strong, it’s still inconvenient for you right now. So, let me take care of this.”

After all Xia Liu had done to save her, if she couldn’t even manage this, Guo Man would indeed feel ashamed.

“This doesn’t seem appropriate…”

Xia Liu said, feigning hesitation.

“What’s inappropriate about it? You’re single, I’m single. It’s perfectly normal!”

Guo Man laughed playfully, her tone teasing.

Realizing the suggestiveness in her own words, her laughter took on a hint of shyness.

Uh, uh, uh…

This time, it was Xia Liu’s turn to feel awkward.

He couldn’t help but wonder—had this girl started to fall for him?

Was her icy demeanor towards men finally beginning to thaw?

If so, perhaps his goals could be achieved even faster.

Guo Man adjusted the hospital bed slightly, then scooped up a spoonful of bone broth and brought it to Xia Liu’s lips.

Her beauty, close enough to touch, unsettled Xia Liu’s mind.

Especially that alluring curve, which made his heart race.

Eager to avoid embarrassment, Xia Liu quickly averted his gaze.

But Guo Man noticed where his eyes had lingered.

Interestingly, she didn’t make a fuss about it, nor did she adjust her posture. She simply continued feeding him the broth.

Outside the ward, Xilu and the others watched Guo Man’s care for Xia Liu and couldn’t help but smile knowingly.

They had known Guo Man for a long time, and this was the first time they’d seen her feed a man!

Previously, they’d even suspected her sexual orientation. Now it seemed that she simply hadn’t met the right person.

Perhaps, at this very moment, she’d found the one destined for her life.

From the bottom of their hearts, they wished the pair well.

Only Lina forced a smile. Her hand was tightly clutching a memory card hidden in her pocket.

That memory card contained a secret known to no one.

Inside the ward, a warm atmosphere filled the room.

One, with a handsome face, exuded raw masculine energy.

The other, as if a Heavenly Immortal descended to earth, carried breathtaking beauty wrapped in elegance.

After the bone broth was finished, Guo Man carefully took a tissue and gently wiped Xia Liu’s lips.

Despite his awkwardness, she didn’t let him lift a finger.

Only after finishing this task did she sit back with satisfaction.

“Thank you, President Guo.”

Xia Liu wasn’t sure what to say. This warm, even slightly romantic atmosphere made him feel both uneasy and out of place.

“Compared to how you protected me, this is nothing,” Guo Man said sincerely. What Xia Liu had done for her was something she would remember for a lifetime.

He had shown no fear, even in the face of gunfire, his courage unfaltering.

“By the way, you still can’t move around for now. I’ll have Xilu and Lina help put up missing-person notices for you.”

Remembering this important matter, Guo Man quickly added.

“Ah, about that…”

Xia Liu’s expression shifted, and after a moment, he spoke slowly: “There’s no need. I won’t be putting them up anymore.”

“Huh? Why not?”

“If it’s meant to be, it will be. If not, there’s no use forcing it.”

There was an air of melancholy around Xia Liu, a sense of resignation tempered with newfound vitality.

It was the aura of a man who had lost all hope, yet stood on the verge of rebirth.

“Alright. No matter what, I just want you to live each day well. I promise I won’t let myself get caught in tough situations again.”

She didn’t know why, but hearing Xia Liu’s words gave her a flicker of joy in her heart.

Had he finally let go of the woman in his heart?

He’d been through so much—his mission had failed, his Martial Veins destroyed.

Returning home, he discovered his wife, also a Martial Artist, had abandoned him and left with their child upon realizing he’d lost his future.

A pitiful man, but in some ways luckier than her—at least he’d once had it all.

And yet, he also bore greater suffering.

To lose everything felt like standing at the peak of life, only to plummet into darkness in an instant, stripped of all hope.

Guo Man hadn’t yet reached such heights, so she couldn’t comprehend that deepest of sorrows.

But she could imagine it.

This man had endured immense hardship to reach this point, yet had never given up.

If he could let go of the past, his future might shine brighter.

“Ding ding ding…”

Shortly after, Guo Man’s phone rang, its tone piercing the silence. She declined a few calls, but the caller was persistent.

Finally, she could only excuse herself to Xia Liu and step out of the room to answer.

“Mom, what is it? I’m at the hospital visiting a patient.”

…

Inside the ward, hearing her call her mother, Xia Liu became intensely focused.

Guo Man’s mother might very well be at the Guo Family’s headquarters!

If he could track her mother, he might finally uncover the location of their base.

Looking at his bandaged body and the IV drip, Xia Liu sighed. For now, he could only take things one step at a time.

But he had a feeling that his goal was within reach.

“Xia Liu, I’m sorry. I have to return to the office to handle something. I probably won’t be back until tomorrow, but Xilu and Lina will stay here. If you need anything, don’t hesitate to call me.”

Returning to his side, Guo Man apologized with a trace of guilt.

“I understand. President Guo, take care of your work.”

Xia Liu knew she was heading to the office to meet her mother. Though he was missing this chance, laying the groundwork now meant more opportunities in the future.

After Guo Man left, Xilu and Lina entered the ward, bringing many daily necessities for Xia Liu.

He would likely need to stay in the hospital for one or two weeks.

That night, Xia Liu slept soundly, certain that his preparations were falling into place.

The next day, Guo Man arrived with a delicately packed lunchbox.

Inside were soup, dishes, and rice.

Though she claimed it was takeout from a restaurant, Xia Liu could faintly sense that she’d made it herself.

Guo Man carefully fed Xia Liu, and after finishing, she took the lunchbox away.

Xilu, observing the scene, teased Xia Liu about their budding romance after Guo Man left.

This brought a series of wry smiles from Xia Liu.

Lina, however, stayed silent, preferring to wait until her investigations were complete before making any moves.

As the Flame Sun yielded to the cool moon, at around three in the morning during Lina’s shift, she sat deep in thought. Finally, she brought the memory card to Xia Liu’s hospital room…
