Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

She was saying she is the true culprit behind Bai Xi being taken away by Rashomon!

Jie Siyu was unwilling to believe what Bai Xuan said was true.

How old was she then?

Just turned five!

How could a child that young have so many schemes?

Bai Xuan laughed self-deprecatingly, looking down at Jie Siyu’s painful expression, her tear-stained face, she murmured softly, ”Otherwise why do you think I got lost, and why did I get a fever?”

”Because I was scared, I was afraid that after you found out the truth, you would beat me to death. I didn’t get lost, I ran away by myself.”

”Mom.” Bai Xuan, like a graceful and noble princess, told Jie Siyu with sympathy: ”Actually, the jinx is me, not Bai Xi. You asked me why I became like this, I thought about it and felt, probably this is just the kind of person I am.”

When she was young, facing danger, she could sell out her sister without batting an eye. As she grew up, watching her sister being sold out by her mother, she could still turn a blind eye. After learning she was terminally ill, she could subtly hint Jiang Heng to deceive Xu Xingguang for her blood.

This is her nature, never changed.

Suddenly knowing the truth, Jie Siyu realized she never truly saw through Bai Xuan’s nature. Jie Siyu sat on the ground in a daze, her spirit entirely numb.

She cried, mumbling repeatedly, ”You demon.”

”You born demon. Why haven’t you been killed by that illness of yours?”

Bai Xuan chuckled lightly, she said, ”I’m afraid I won’t die.”

Bai Xuan crossed her legs, a glimmer of hope in her eyes, she said, ”Jiang Heng told me, the miraculous doctor who successfully treated the Xiahou Family’s young master, has recently appeared.”

”That fool Jiang Heng, he actually loves me dearly. Even if he knows I’m not the one who saved him back then, he can’t bear to truly hurt me. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have just kept me under house arrest so simply.”

”Just wait and see, once Jiang Heng’s anger subsides, he’ll still try every means to contact Medicine Farmer Star and do his utmost to save me.”

On this, Bai Xuan was full of confidence.

She always firmly believed that Jiang Heng loved her deeply, wouldn’t really divorce her for Bai Xi.

Suddenly, a chilling male voice sounded at the door—

”Really?”

As soon as the words fell, the door was kicked open forcefully by Jiang Heng.

This unexpected change drastically changed Bai Xuan’s expression!

She looked up in shock, seeing Jiang Heng suddenly kicking the door open and coming in, noticed Jiang Heng’s eyes were red as if burning with fire, his expression towards her devoid of any emotion, Bai Xuan knew she was in trouble.

”Ah Heng!” Bai Xuan called Jiang Heng’s name in a daze.

Hearing this intimate whisper, Jiang Heng showed a cold smile on his face. He looked down at Bai Xuan disdainfully and said, ”When you affectionately call my name, are you also mocking me as a simp in your heart?”

Bai Xuan’s pupils shrank, her hands unconsciously gripping the bedsheet, panic flooding her heart.

He indeed heard everything.

Just now in front of Jie Siyu, Bai Xuan who was confident and arrogant now finally showed a look of fear on her face.

”Ah Heng, I was lying to her!” Bai Xuan pointed at Jie Siyu, fabricating lies without a draft: ”I hate my mom too much, I deliberately said those things to provoke her!”

Upon hearing this, the butler and Jiang Qin behind Jiang Heng scoffed.

But Jie Siyu laughed madly, she shouted to Jiang Heng, ”Jiang Heng, don’t be deceived by Bai Xuan, she’s a demon, she’s been bad since childhood.”

Standing outside, having overheard the entire conversation, Jiang Heng naturally wouldn’t easily believe Bai Xuan’s lies.

At this point, he no longer had any trust in Bai Xuan.

”You just said, I would definitely find a way to contact Medicine Farmer Star to treat your illness.” Pausing, Jiang Heng said with a sullen face, ”You were right, I am indeed that pathetic, and I did use every method to successfully contact her.”

Bai Xuan’s expression showed slight joy, Jiang Heng indeed loved her deeply!

Bai Xuan couldn’t wait to ask: ”You’ve contacted her already? When will she come to West Continent City to treat me?”

Jiang Heng opened his suit jacket, took a prescription folded into a square from the inner pocket at his chest. He held up the prescription and told Bai Xuan: ”This is the prescription from Medicine Farmer Star, taking it can temporarily stabilize your condition.”

”Really?” Bai Xuan instinctively got up, unable to hide her joy as she walked towards Jiang Heng.

But Jiang Heng clutched the prescription, retreating a step backward.

Seeing this, Bai Xuan’s smiling face froze. She then realized, belatedly, that after overhearing the earlier conversation, Jiang Heng couldn’t possibly hand the prescription to her easily.

Jiang Heng suddenly pulled out a lighter, he pressed the lighter without hesitation in front of Bai Xuan.

With a click, the flame ignited.

That fire danced in Bai Xuan’s eyes, increasingly seductive.

But Bai Xuan’s heart grew colder and colder.

Jiang Heng leisurely watched Bai Xuan, witnessing her gaze transform from hopeful to despair.

Jiang Heng suddenly felt a surge of pleasure in his heart.

Turns out, watching the loved one suffer was surprisingly addictive.

”You were right, I was indeed a simp in the past. But even a simp can have moments of realization. Bai Xuan, whatever you care about, I’ll destroy.” With that, Jiang Heng aimed the flame at the prescription, it was immediately set ablaze.

The flame grew stronger, reflecting a sea of fire in Bai Xuan’s eyes. ”Ah Heng, don’t!” Bai Xuan desperately rushed towards Jiang Heng, trying to snatch the prescription from Jiang Heng’s hand.

But Jiang Heng deliberately raised his arm high, allowing the prescription to burn above his head.

Bai Xuan jumped vigorously, trying to grab the prescription from Jiang Heng’s hand to extinguish the fire as quickly as possible.

Jiang Heng shouted, ”Jiang Qin.”

Jiang Qin promptly stepped in, firmly pressing Bai Xuan’s shoulder.

Soon, the raging fire scorched his fingers, but Jiang Heng seemed unfazed by the pain, still tightly clutching the increasingly smaller prescription.

Bai Xuan was pinned down by Jiang Qin, she could only watch in despair as Jiang Heng burned away the prescription that could save her life.

Seeing Bai Xuan’s desperate expression, Jiang Heng’s lips curled into a mocking smile, he asked Bai Xuan, ”Watching your hope for survival being burnt away bit by bit by me, does your heart ache?”

Bai Xuan’s eyes immediately turned red.

Jiang Heng was willing to burn the only prescription that could save her, which meant he had decided to cut ties and revenge her, severing his affections for her.

Realizing things had reached this point, that she would soon be devoured by her illness, Bai Xuan no longer wished to suppress her nature. She suddenly adopted a venomous demeanor and shouted at Jiang Heng, ”Jiang Heng! You think by burning my prescription, watching me being tortured to death by illness, you’ll be freed? You’ll be happy?”

”I spit on it!”

Bai Xuan looked down at Jiang Heng triumphantly, like a victor, deliberately provoking Jiang Heng: ”You think meeting me, falling in love with me, is the biggest failure of your life. You think destroying me, watching me head towards death, will erase the stain on your life. But do you really know why even after we married, you established your career and family, your father still refuses to take you to the Jiang Family ancestral hall for worship?”

The mask of calmness Jiang Heng wore showed a tiny crack.

He frowned slightly, hearing Bai Xuan say, ”Because you are not Jiang Mantian’s son at all! You’re merely his adopted son!”

”Do you know why he is unwilling to take you to the Jiang Family ancestral hall for worship? That’s because the plaque of his biological son is placed in the ancestral hall!”
