Chapter 483: Chapter 481 Quite Serious_1

"We’re about to see Tao Tao!" Lu Fan, who was almost asleep, suddenly perked up like he had been injected with adrenaline, straightened his eyes immediately, and stared intently at the stage without blinking, as if he was afraid of missing any detail.

Xia Ningxing touched her chin and suddenly felt she understood.

It seemed like the person he liked was Tao Tao!

This should be a happy realization, but for some reason, Xia Ningxing’s brows furrowed involuntarily.

Hadn’t Tao Tao been poisoned before, and wasn’t she unable to have children anymore?

She had been treating her for the past two years, but her body was strange, with too strong a resistance to medicine. For most people, one prescription would have been enough to cure them.

But for her, she had gone through dozens of medicines, and still no use.

So after all these years of treating only the symptoms and not the root cause, she was still unable to conceive.

Xia Ningxing knew something about Aunt Lu; if Tao Tao were just divorced with a child in tow, it might be acceptable, but if she couldn’t get pregnant...

She guessed she would never agree to let her into the family.

Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but worry for the two of them.

"Where there’s a will, there’s a way," Aunt Lu, as if she could read minds, sensed Xia Ningxing’s thoughts and immediately spoke to her in a soothing tone.

Xia Ningxing felt instantly enlightened, "Aunt, you’re right."

Take one step at a time.

What’s the use in worrying so much now!

"Stop talking, Tao Tao is about to come out!" Lu Fan couldn’t help but give them a glare.

Xia Ningxing: "..."

Aunt Lu: "..."

"And next, Tao Tao from Giant Star Entertainment will bring us her exquisite dance!" As the hostess’s sweet voice ended,

Tao Tao’s figure slowly walked out.

The music also started at this point.

She burst forth from her pliant body, a powerful suppleness in her dance moves, twirling and leaping beautifully on the stage.

In a white dress and hair braided delicately,

She was like a sprite from the forest.

So beautiful!

Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but applaud.

...

As the dance ended, she gracefully walked to the front of the stage and bowed to the audience below.

"Thank you, everyone."

Before the sound had settled, Xia Ningxing noticed the light above Tao Tao flickered twice.

In the next second, the huge light unexpectedly fell.

And Tao Tao was right below it.

"Watch out——"

Xia Ningxing saw this scene and immediately cried out, instinctively rushing toward the stage.

But the distance from where she was to the stage was still sizable.

So!

There wasn’t enough time!

Not nearly enough time!

The heavy light fell, and Tao Tao screamed out in agony.

Because of the smoke from the dry ice on stage, no one could see clearly what Tao Tao looked like after being hit.

But the heavy scent of blood was unmistakable to all.

"My God, call an ambulance quickly!"

"What is the organizer doing, letting the lights fall like that!"

"How is the contestant doing now?"

"Please, let there be no serious trouble."

"Tao Tao!" Lu Fan could never have imagined that the person he loved would have an accident right before his eyes. He let out a shaky growl and ran like a madman onto the stage.

He fell on the way, scraping off a large patch of skin.

But he acted as if he hadn’t noticed, quickly getting up and continuing to charge towards the stage.

Once on stage, Lu Fan saw that a large light fixture was pressing down on Tao Tao’s legs, shards of glass cutting through her delicate skin, with blood everywhere.

Her face was pale, her breath nearly stopped.

"Taozi!"

Lu Fan’s eyes instantly reddened, and he rushed to her side in agony, kneeling on one knee as though wishing he could bear this pain for her.

It wasn’t until this moment that Lu Fan realized he truly had fallen in love with her.

Even if she had been married, even if she had a child.

But he had fallen in love with her anyway.

Now, he really regretted, so deeply regretted.

Why had he let her participate in the competition?

And why hadn’t he told her about his feelings sooner?

"Manager Lu." Seeing him arrive, the weakened Tao Tao forced a smile and, with a trembling hand, reached out to clutch the hem of his clothing. "Can I, please, ask you for a favor?"

"Anything, just tell me, I’ll agree to anything!" Lu Fan’s voice was already soaked with sobs.

Tao Tao spoke with difficulty, "I want you, to please ask Boss Xia, to take care of, look after Little Sweetie."

"I, know, this is, too much to ask, but you could have Boss Xia make her a child star, let her make money for the company."

"You will be fine, nothing will happen to you." Lu Fan didn’t answer her request, his trembling thin lips kept repeating these words.

Unable to help herself, Tao Tao laughed mockingly. "I am aware of my own body, I feel like I can no longer hold on."

"Will you promise me?"

"I won’t, it’s your own child, you should take care of her yourself, why should you pass her off to Boss Xia, to the company?" Tears fell from Lu Fan’s eyes.

Plip-plop.

The tears landed on Tao Tao’s cheeks.

And at the same time, they landed in her heart.

"Manager Lu, I think, I may have started to like you..."

Perhaps because she was nearing the very end of her life, Tao Tao let go of any reservations and spoke her true feelings.

Lu Fan stiffened for a moment, then the next second he was ecstatic.

The person he liked, also liked him!

"I...," too, like you.

He parted his lips, about to express these words when suddenly, Tao Tao no longer showed any signs of life.

"Taozi!"

Lu Fan’s heart-wrenching cry pierced through the sky.

He stared at her with a mixture of anxiety, fear, despair, tension, and agony.

"How is she?" Xia Ningxing also ran onto the stage and quickly checked her pulse.

After assessing the situation, Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but frown deeply.

It was quite serious.

Worst of all, it seemed that her uterus had been damaged again.

If she wanted to have another child, it would now be even more difficult.

Soon, the ambulance arrived.

"Lu Fan, I’ll follow the ambulance, you stay here and investigate the truth behind the falling light incident," Xia Ningxing patted his shoulder and whispered in his ear, audible only to the two of them.

Upon hearing this, Lu Fan was immediately startled. "Do you mean to say someone intentionally tried to murder..."

"Yes." Xia Ningxing nodded her head and left with the medical staff.

Left behind, Lu Fan clenched his fists, his face casting a dark shadow.

They’d better not have been attempting murder, because if that was the case, he would make sure they would suffer a fate worse than death and rot in prison!

Hidden nearby, Yuncheng couldn’t help but curve her lips into a sinister smile.

This time, Tao Tao was probably dead for sure, right?

Even if she hadn’t died, she would be left disabled!

Then, the chances of her winning the dance competition would be much greater!

And she wouldn’t have to compete with her for Manager Lu anymore!

Good!

How wonderful!

Yuncheng immediately felt exhilarated.

Hospital.

The hospital Tao Tao was taken to was Uncle Lu’s hospital.

After greeting Xia Ningxing, they could enter the operating room together and assist with the surgery.
