Chapter 420: Chapter 420 I Can’t Give Up_1

"Uh..."

Zhang Xian glanced at Li Peichi, discontented, "Little Sister Peici, can you not always make me out to be such a creep? I’m actually quite innocent."

"You, innocent?"

Li Peichi asked with an exaggerated expression, "Zhang Xian, how thick is your skin?"

"Huh?"

Zhang Xian replied, "My skin is actually pretty thin! Don’t believe me? Just touch it. It’s as delicate as a blown eggshell, just like my face."

"Delicate... as a blown eggshell..."

Li Peichi burst into laughter after a moment of stunned silence, "Zhang Xian, you’re too much, do you want me to die of laughter? Even a bullet couldn’t penetrate skin like yours!"

Nangong Wu also burst into laughter at Zhang Xian’s actions. This guy, really was a rare specimen!

Suppressing a smile, she looked at Zhang Xian and asked, "Um, Zhang Xian, I still didn’t quite get what you told me earlier. Why was that guy targeting me?"

Zhang Xian laughed, "Because you’re beautiful, Sister Wu!"

"No... It can’t be that simple, right? This can’t be the reason." Nangong Wu frowned slightly, apparently not buying Zhang Xian’s explanation.

Li Peichi kicked Zhang Xian in the leg, angrily, "Zhang Xian, can’t you take things seriously? Sister Wu is talking about serious matters! Stop fooling around."

"There are some things I can’t explain clearly to you, nor is it appropriate for me to explain." Zhang Xian said.

Li Peichi angrily retorted, "When you can’t explain things clearly, try to simplify them. I don’t believe that our comprehension abilities are so poor that we can’t understand."

"Alright then!"

Zhang Xian continued, "There are some people in this world who are beyond the normal human comprehension and possess strange abilities. You have experienced some of these things just now, so you should have some understanding. That young man is one of those with unusual abilities. As for Sister Wu, she has a unique physique that is appealing to these types of people, which is why she attracted that guy’s attention."

Nangong Wu frowned, "Is there... something wrong with my physique?"

"I won’t go into that. It’s hard to explain."

Zhang Xian advised, "But you should be careful from now on. Whether it’s that young man or others like him, they all become interested when they see you."

"N... no way!"

Nangong Wu asked in terror, "Then... what should I do? I don’t want to become someone’s prey."

Zhang Xian chuckled, "Don’t worry, I can protect you. With me around, those guys won’t dare to cause trouble. I am a man of great strength."

"Hey..."

Li Peichi grabbed Zhang Xian, "Don’t tell me, you have some other ulterior motive. Don’t forget, Elder Sister Shaoyun is angry with you right now."

"What do you mean, Little Sister Peici?"

Zhang Xian asked, "Are you saying that my good intentions are being taken for granted? Since you don’t trust me, then I’m not going to bother helping. Don’t come bothering me about this in the future."

"You dare..."

Li Peichi angrily retorted, "I... I was just asking a question, why are you reacting so strongly?"

"Heh, I really won’t help."

Zhang Xian chuckled and turned to leave, "I’m heading to the hospital. You two do whatever you want, and don’t come looking for me. Especially not if there’s a problem."

"Zhang Xian, you stop right there."

Li Peichi quickly chased after him, "If... if you leave, what should I do with Sister Wu? What if... if that guy comes back... "

Zhang Xian turned around, eyeing Li Peichi, "And that concerns me because...?"

"I... isn’t it enough that I admit that I was wrong?"

Li Peichi pouted and shook Zhang Xian’s arm, "How can a grown man like you be so petty? That’s not your style!"

"Indeed..."

Zhang Xian nodded, "Not helping a beauty in need is indeed not my style. But can’t you stop doubting me! Am I really that kind of person?"

Li Peichi glanced at Zhang Xian, stomped her foot, and said, "Okay then! I will stop doubting you."

"That’s more like it! As I said, I’m really innocent."

Zhang Xian smiled, turned his head towards Nangong Wu, and said, "Sister Wu, come here."

Nangong Wu nodded, and walked over to Zhang Xian.

Zhang Xian held Nangong Wu’s small hand, squeezed it gently, and transferred a stream of Spiritual Energy into her.

Nangong Wu furrowed her brows, wanting to pull her hand back. But when she felt a wave of heat enter her body, she stopped moving and looked at Zhang Xian in surprise.

"Do whatever you want in the future. With me here, nothing major will happen."

After releasing Nangong Wu’s hand, Zhang Xian said, "It’s getting late. I have to go to the hospital. You two should head home."

"What are you going to the hospital for?"

Li Peichi asked, "Don’t tell me, you’re seeking punishment? I think you should find an appropriate opportunity. Now doesn’t seem to be a good time for you to keep showing up in front of Elder Sister Shaoyun. How about this, after you help Sister Wu with her problem, Sister Wu can speak for you to Elder Sister Shaoyun? Sister Wu’s words have a lot of influence on Elder Sister Shaoyun!"

Zhang Xian gave a bitter smile, looked at Li Peichi and said, "Silly girl, I’m going to the hospital to protect Mo Shaoyun. You think she’s safe at the hospital?"

Upon hearing this, Li Peichi and Nangong Wu’s faces subtly changed, but they didn’t say anything further.

Zhang Xian casually waved his hand and walked away.

...

That night, Yenjing, in a certain hospital, in the corridors of the inpatient department.

Zhang Xian was sitting on the chair against the wall, having one leg over the other, fiddling with his phone aimlessly, looking utterly bored.

However, he had no intention of leaving.

He still wasn’t clear about what kind of entity was trying to deal with Mo Shaoyun or, to put it another way, with the Mo family. He had not yet figured it out and hadn’t gotten any leads.

The hospital is bustling with people during the day, so it might be quite safe with people coming and going. But that couldn’t be guaranteed at night. It might be difficult to infiltrate other places, but not a hospital, disguising as a doctor wasn’t impossible.

"Eh?"

Suddenly, an astonished voice emerged. A gorgeous woman and a middle-aged man walked over.

Zhang Xian looked up, and instantly jumped up from the chair.

The people who came were none other than Xia Shuyuan, his prospective mother-in-law who he least wanted to see now, and a man he also recognized well, Mo Fan, Mo Shaoyun’s father.

Xia Shuyuan, noticing Zhang Xian’s intense reaction seeing her, as if he had seen a ghost, said displeasingly, "Zhang Xian, what do you mean by this? Why are you reacting this way?"

"No...nothing at all!"

Zhang Xian chuckled, then turned to Mo Fan and laughingly said, "Uncle, it’s been a long time since we met. How have you been over these years?"

"Hmm, pretty well."

Mo Fan didn’t reprimand Zhang Xian like Xia Shuyuan did. Being a man, he could understand Zhang Xian, albeit feeling a bit uncomfortable.

After all, isn’t Mo Shaoyun his daughter? As a father, who wouldn’t wish their daughter to be happy? Moreover, Mo Shaoyun is his only precious.

He laughed and looked at Zhang Xian, "You have grown so much since we last met, more than a decade ago! Time flies, it’s really hard to grasp."

"Uh..."

Zhang Xian nodded, "Almost twelve years now."

Xia Shuyuan gave Zhang Xian a cold look, and asked, "What are you doing here? Why haven’t you gone inside?"

"Elder Sister Shaoyun is angry with me, I don’t dare go in. And she doesn’t want me to either."

Zhang Xian said, "You guys go in and keep her company, I’ll just stay outside. Don’t worry, with me here, Sister Shaoyun is definitely safe. I can guarantee this."

Mo Fan laughed and asked, "Are you here to protect Shaoyun?"

"Why wouldn’t I?"

Zhang Xian said, "The opposing party hasn’t succeeded yet, so they are sure to make further moves and the hospital could be an ideal place for them to strike. I can’t give them an opportunity."

"Guess this guy still has some conscience."

Xia Shuyuan once again gave Zhang Xian a cold look, saying, "Go in! At least there’s a bed in there where you can rest. It must be uncomfortable out here."

Zhang Xian shook his head, "I’m not going in."

Mo Fan frowned, asking, "What has happened between you two and Shaoyun again?"

Zhang Xian gave a bitter smile and said, "I’m not really sure about that, I somehow feel that things are going bizarre without a reason."

"What’s your angle on this?"

Xia Shuyuan frowned, "To tell you the truth, you men tend to step out of line the minute you become accomplished. Now that things have come to this point, I won’t reproach you. However, Shaoyun is your legitimate fiancee, she is your rightful woman, you have to make this clear. If you decide to turn back now, I’ll talk to Shaoyun for you to ensure she won’t be mad anymore."

Zhang Xian smiled, offering no reply.

It was impossible to do as Xia Shuyuan suggested. In such matters, it’s not over when he wants it to be. What about Mo Shaoyun, Dong Qian, Fu Meiting, Wen Yulan, Duan Hong, and the others?

They are all his women, in his heart there were no preferences, love for all equally.

Xia Shuyuan frowned and asked, "You aren’t planning on giving up any of those women?"

"Auntie, let me tell you the truth!"

Zhang Xian said, "When I came to Yenjing last time, there was some misunderstanding between me and Sister Shaoyun, and I didn’t have any affections for her. As we spent time together, I found that Sister Shaoyun isn’t as unreasonable as I thought. My views of her have changed since then. Now, I can feel Sister Shaoyun’s feelings for me. From the bottom of my heart, I don’t want to give up and will try my utmost to pursue her."

"However, the other women are equally important to me. I can’t give up on any of them. And it’s not my style to start a relationship without seeing it through to the end. Considering the current situation, I’m not even sure what will happen in the future. If I can be with Sister Shaoyun, it would be great. If it doesn’t work out, then I have no choice. But like I said before, I will do my best to make her happy."

Xia Shuyuan coldly smiled, and asked, "Do you think you can make Shaoyun happy the way things are now?"

"Why can’t I? Can you guarantee that she will definitely be unhappy?"

Zhang Xian looked at Xia Shuyuan and said, "Sometimes, it’s not necessary to possess someone entirely. Every matter has two sides, it all depends on what choice you make."

Xia Shuyuan frowned and stopped talking.

Mo Fan had been watching the conversation but didn’t interject. He felt that it was better to let Xia Shuyuan talk about these matters! It’s not proper for men to prevaricate.

Most importantly, Zhang Xian was no ordinary person. He can’t be treated in the same way as common people. This was a thought that Master always reiterated, and also the primary reason why he had kept silent.

"Aunty..."

Zhang Xian looked at Xia Shuyuan and said, "I won’t say anything else but this, I guarantee that under the current circumstances, I won’t let Sister Shaoyun’s sincere feelings towards me go in vain. As for turning back, please don’t broach the subject anymore. It’s impossible for me to give up on any of those women, even if you never let me see Sister Shaoyun again."
