"Okay, okay, I got it. I got it, okay?" Xia Ling really couldn't do anything about him.
Fu Jiunian carried Xia Ling horizontally. He put her on the bed and closed the door behind him.
As soon as he picked her up, he felt something was wrong.
It had only been three months, but she was so much lighter. She was so light, as if she didn't have any weight!
"Ah Li, didn't you eat well in the Maldives? Or are you on a diet?" Fu Jiunian frowned.
Xia Ling lowered her eyes and said casually, "It's nothing. I'm just feeling a little unwell recently, so I'm lighter."
"Oh? Is this how you take care of yourself when I'm not around?" Fu Jiunian glanced around the room and found that it was really empty. There wasn't even a hint of smoke or fire. It was hard to imagine how Zong Li had lived here for three months.
Fu Jiunian pursed his lips and was a little angry. "Even if you are angry with me, you can still bring golden hair here. You can have a companion, so there's someone to talk to!"
"I left in a hurry and didn't remember," Xia Ling replied with a smile.
She wore a white nightdress and sat by the bed. Her skin was fair and her hair was black. When she looked at Fu Jiunian, the smile on her face was also very beautiful.
But her face, which had always been warm and bright, seemed to be much gentler.
Fu Jiunian felt a little uncomfortable looking at her.
He sat next to her and held her waist.
"Ah Li, are you blaming me?"
He seemed to have gone crazy. He had been working hard to make Zong Li happy.
How could he have lost his heart and thought that his career was more important than Ah Li's?
"It's not your fault." Xia Ling naturally leaned on his shoulder. "I'm very happy that Jiunian is so outstanding now!"
Fu Jiunian was becoming more and more dazzling. Xia Ling would be unhappy if he ignored her, and she could adjust herself. However, she could directly open the topic and talk about this with Fu Jiunian.
However, before she could do that, reality had already helped her make a decision!
When she was alone in the Maldives, Xia Ling would try to contact the Puppet every day.
One day, the Puppet gave her a reply.
[ The system is suppressed by the heavenly axiom, so it is unable to contact Xia Ling. The only thing that can help Xia Ling is to block out the pain. After Zong Li dies, the system will think of a way to bring Xia Ling back to the netherworld continent. ]
From then on, Xia Ling's pain from the cancer was blocked.
Other than her body weakening day by day, she was no different from a normal person.
She rejected mother Zong's advice to give her chemotherapy and send her overseas for treatment.
Since she was going to die anyway, she would rather die with dignity. This way, at the last moment, she would be the most beautiful in Fu Jiunian's eyes!
"Ah Li, everything I did was for you. If it weren't for you, there would be no point for me to do all this!" Fu Jiunian held Xia Ling in his arms and said in a low voice as he gently pressed his hand against her forehead.
What he wanted was for one day, when he stood in the center of attention.
At that time, she would sit below the stage, listening to everyone's praises and enjoying their jealousy.
"Zong Li is really lucky to find a husband like Fu Jiunian!"
She was the one who told him this, and it was also his lifelong pursuit.

Xia Ling leaned into Fu Jiunian's arms.
Being alone in the Maldives was indeed quite lonely.
She often sat alone on the bay window, looking at the end of the sea. The scene of the sea and sky always reminded her of Fu Jiunian.
He taught her how to surf, and they ran wildly on the beach. At night, on the beach, she leaned against him and looked at the stars.
