"Urgh."
She covered her mouth with her hands and held back the tears in her eyes.
"What's wrong? Are you vomiting again? Are you really not feeling well?" Huangfu Qiye didn't pay much attention to her since he was working on his computer.
His expression changed when he suddenly heard the sound of vomiting.
He put down his computer and immediately pulled her into his arms. There was only worry and heartache in his eyes.
Tang Xiaowei shook her head at him and finally found a good excuse. "It's nothing... I just got carsick."
"Carsick? Why didn't I get carsick in the past, but now I do?" It was not the first time she had ridden in a car with him. He had never seen her vomit like this when they were in China.
"I don't know. Anyway, it must be carsickness. I don't feel bad anymore since I just vomited. Can you open the window for me?" Tang Xiaowei felt weak all over. She could not get out of his arms at all, so she simply leaned into his arms.
Huangfu Qiye had already opened the window slightly, because he was afraid that the cold wind outside would make her sick.
Tang Xiaowei leaned against his chest. Because she wasn't feeling well, she didn't plan to leave. Then, she unconsciously fell asleep.
Huangfu Qiye felt her gentleness, and when he heard her breathing slowly calm down, he was finally happy and satisfied again.
If she could fall in love with him and stay by his side obediently every day, he wouldn't have to be so frustrated every day.
...
When Tang Xiaowei woke up, she found herself lying in a European-style classical room.
The bed was very soft, and the room was very beautiful.
When she got up she found that she wasn't the only one in the room, because Yuan Shan was also in there with her. She immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
Yuan Shan had been left behind to protect her. Just now, when Yuan Shan saw that she was sleeping, she had played with her phone on her own.
Now that she heard the sound, Yuan Shan hurriedly put her phone away and walked towards Tang Xiaowei.
"Miss Tang, you're awake? Are you hungry? Do you want me to get someone to bring you some food?"
Tang Xiaowei shook her head. "I'm not really hungry, but I remember that your young master wanted to bring me to the banquet with him, right? Then, what is this place?"
"This is the place where the banquet is held. Because you just fell asleep, young master went to deal with work and asked me to protect you here," Yuan Shan explained.
Only then did Tang Xiaowei understand the current situation.
She rubbed her head. "How long have I been asleep?"
"About three hours," Yuan Shan answered directly. It seemed that she had already calculated it.
Tang Xiaowei did not expect that she would fall asleep on the way here. Moreover, she only woke up after three hours.
After all, this was someone else's house, and it was an unfamiliar place. She did not want to continue sleeping, so she turned around and opened the door. "Let's go. I want to find your young master."
"Okay, then this subordinate will lead the way for you." Yuan Shan did not dare to let Tang Xiaowei open the door herself. She hurriedly ran to open the door and walked in front to lead the way.
The things that had happened in the past two days had greatly angered her young master. However, Yuan Shan and Yuan Qi realized that no matter what Tang Xiaowei did to make her young master angry, her young master would forgive her.
Therefore, Yuan Shan and Yuan Qi knew that Tang Xiaowei was definitely the last young mistress that her young master would marry. Therefore, she had to take care of Tang Xiaowei more diligently.
Tang Xiaowei followed beside Yuan Shan and walked out of the room.
There were two French girls standing outside the room. They were wearing maid uniforms. They must have been the maids of this household.
They greeted her gently.
Tang Xiaowei smiled at them and left after Yuan Shan.
When Yuan Shan led her past the corridor, she heard a lively conversation coming from below the corridor.
She walked over to take a look and realized that there was a large lawn outside. At that moment, there were many people on the lawn. Of course, there were also many delicacies and drinks. Everyone was happily chatting and eating.
Because the lights above and around the lawn were bright enough, everyone stood on the lawn and did not feel that the light was dim.
She only looked for a few seconds before she heard Yuan Shan say from the side, "Miss Tang, let's go and see young master first. He will be very happy when he knows that you have woken up."
"Okay." Tang Xiaowei nodded, then she picked up her skirt and left with Yuan Shan.
As for Yuan Shan, she was afraid that Tang Xiaowei would suddenly run away like she did in the supermarket, so she turned around to look at her every few steps.
Soon, Yuan Shan brought her to the door of a room.
There were many bodyguards standing on both sides of the door, but on one side were Yuan Qi and his bodyguards, and on the other side were unfamiliar French faces.
Tang Xiaowei thought that since these bodyguards were all guarding outside, it must be Huangfu Qiye and someone inside discussing something.
Yuan Shan told Yuan Qi the reason for her visit and let Yuan Qi go in to make the announcement.
Yuan Qi had already guessed the reason for their visit when he saw them coming over. However, he said awkwardly, "Young master is discussing something very important with Mr. Louis. We can't let anyone enter and disturb him."
Yuan Shan turned around and glanced at Tang Xiaowei when she heard that.
Tang Xiaowei also heard Yuan Qi's words and revealed a smile. "It's fine. Since he's busy, Yuan Shan, you can accompany me to take a walk downstairs. I saw that there was a lot of food and suddenly felt a little hungry."
Yuan Shan nodded and seemed to be relieved. "Okay."
Hence, Tang Xiaowei and Yuan Shan went downstairs together and went to the lawn outside.
However, just as she walked to a long table and reached out for the glass of fruit juice, she suddenly heard a gunshot behind her.
The gunshot was not silenced. In such a crowded place its sound immediately frightened everyone.
Everyone present screamed in fear and fled in all directions.
Tang Xiaowei was also grabbed by Yuan Shan's arm, and she squatted on the ground.
"Miss Tang, someone is shooting. Don't move recklessly. Come close to me, I'll protect you." Yuan Shan nervously took a pistol from her body and carefully guarded Tang Xiaowei behind her.
This was not the first time Tang Xiaowei had heard gunshots. Last time at the foot of the mountain of the forest manor, she had mistakenly boarded a hijacked bus. At that time, she was chased by the kidnappers, and Huangfu Qiye had fired his gun to save her.
But now, Huangfu Qiye was in his room discussing something with someone else.
And the gunshots were heard on the lawn. This proved that someone wanted to kill someone on the lawn, or somewhere else.
She suddenly regretted coming downstairs to eat. Otherwise, she would not have encountered such a dangerous situation.
After the gunshots, everyone fled in all directions. Then, the gunshots continued to sound. Next, there was the sound of someone falling to the ground in pain.
Then, an angry male voice roared in English, "Don't move, don't speak. All of you, crouch down. Otherwise, if you move, I won't be able to control who I kill."
