Xi Cheng lowered his head and mumbled, “I didn’t know. I didn’t know my mother did that. I—I spent these past few days drunk—”

“Can’t you come up with a better excuse?” Yun Nan sneered, interrupting him. “Fang Xi is lying in there because of you, and you can’t even do her the courtesy of being honest. You don’t even have the right to be a scumbag, Xi Cheng! You don’t even have the courage to admit that you’re scum, pushing everything onto your mother and fiancée instead. Tsk! Fang Xi was truly blind to have fallen for someone like you!”

Xi Cheng’s face darkened. Ye Kun huffed, “You may not know this, Yun Nan, but Young Master Xi Cheng here values the Xi family’s reputation the most, so of course he wouldn’t own up to such foul deeds. Someone will take the blame for him, after all.”

He added, “Fang Xi isn’t blind. She just fell in love with the idea of love; anyone would make such a mistake. All she has to do is realize and correct that mistake. I’ll help her with that; I’ll show her what love truly is and heal all the hurt she’s suffered!”

Xi Cheng was furious. “That’s b*llsh*t! The person Fang Xi loves the most is me! Me! I won’t let go! I’ll definitely take responsibility for her all the way!” Ye Kun was stunned and blurted out, “You broke up with Lin Yu?”

Xi Cheng’s eyes narrowed, and he replied, “That’s none of your business! And the same goes for Fang Xi’s matters, too!”

Yun Nan was furious. “What do you mean by that?”

Xi Cheng took a deep breath and stated seriously, “I said, I’ll take care of Fang

Xi’s matters. I’ll take responsibility for Fang Xi until the very end!”

“You want to take responsibility? How?” Yun Nan demanded. “What do you think Fang Xi needs from you? She doesn’t need your care; there are doctors and nurses here who can provide her better care than you. What else can you do? Provide money? Although I’m not as wealthy as the Xi family, I can still afford Fang Xi’s medical fees! Tell me, what can you give her? Marriage? Love? Can you even afford that? Do you have any love to give? Do you?”

Xi Cheng was speechless. He glanced at Ye Kun standing on the side and asked, “What about him? What can he give Fang Xi?”

Ye Kun calmly looked at Xi Cheng; he suddenly realized that in the past nearly 30 years, his understanding of Xi Cheng was close to zero. He answered, “I can give her my heart! I can give her love and marriage. I can promise her a lifetime together and that I’ll love only her! Whether Fang Xi wakes up or not, no matter what she becomes in the future, I’ll be with her until the end of our lives.”

“Who are you kidding?!” Xi Cheng sneered. “That’s all just talk; your family won’t allow you to do that!”

“The Ye family isn’t the Xi family,” Ye Kun retorted. “We don’t associate our reputation with who we marry! My family’s not one for such pomp and frivolity! And if my family really won’t accept us, I’ll disown myself, leave the Ye family, and establish my own family and career. In short, I’ll accompany

Fang Xi wherever she goes because I love her!”

Xi Cheng looked at Ye Kun disbelievingly and muttered, “Have you gone mad?”

Ye Kun returned his gaze steadily as he uttered, “I’ve never been as clear-headed as I am these past few days! I know what I want—what kind of life I want! If you can’t let go of the Xi family and your reputation, then go back and love your fiancée! Cherish what you have. Don’t make the same mistake again and hurt another woman!”

Xi Cheng froze on the spot. “Xi Cheng, go home,” Shi Nian gently urged. “Ye

Kun’s here, and that’s enough.”

‘Even Shi Nian is saying that,’ Xi Cheng thought, feeling like his heart got stabbed by a knife.

The nurse ran out and anxiously informed them, “Fang Xi’s blood pressure and heart rate are dropping. She’s in critical condition and needs immediate medical attention. Are her family members around? We need them to sign the critical condition notice!”

“”Here! Ye Kun and Yun Nan both rushed to answer in unison. Xi Cheng didn’t even have the chance to open his mouth, nor did he have the courage to speak up immediately. He wasn’t Fang Xi’s family member—he realized he’d never thought of her as family all this time. ‘Even so, Fang Xi loves me,’ he thought. ‘She has loved me for seven years. Fang Xi loves me, and only me!’ Xi Cheng firmly believed.

Thanks to the doctors’ efforts, Fang Xi was once again out of danger. When Yun Nan heard, she lay in Shi Nian’s arms and cried tears of joy, whereas Ye Kun’s legs weakened, and he sat down on a chair in a daze.

Shi Nian stroked Yun Nan’s back and said softly, “We need to contact Fang Xi’s family. Her parents or siblings—any one of them will do. No matter what, her family has the right to know.”

Yun Nan and Ye Kun were too emotional, so Shi Nian had to be clear-headed. ‘ This whole thing with Xi Cheng is already one big mess,’ Shi Nian thought. ‘If something really does go wrong with Fang Xi, who knows what kind offuss her family will kick up? Then, it’ll be even more troublesome if we don’t inform them.’

Yun Nan wiped her tears and shook her head. “I left a message with Fang Xi’s parents using her phone. Her mother’s assistant said Fang Xi’s mother has to participate in a Fashion Week event and can’t leave. As for her father, it was Fang Xi’s stepmother who replied. She said that Fang Xi’s father is busy with a large project these days and doesn’t have time. Fang Xi’s brothers and sisters…

aren’t very familiar with her.”

In short, Fang Xi was like an orphan despite not being one!
