Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

Suppressing the discomfort in her stomach, Xu Xingguang suddenly pointed at the vanity mirror on the restaurant wall beside her, sincerely suggesting to Jiang Heng, ”Idiot, take a look in the mirror. With that ugly face of yours, do you have the nerve to call me dirty?”

Xu Xingguang rubbed her eyes, grabbed Song Chi’s arm, and exaggeratedly exclaimed, ”I can’t handle it. My eyes are about to go blind from Jiang Heng’s ugliness.”

Jiang Heng’s handsome face turned dark, ”You just keep being stubborn!”

Afraid of having a heart attack from Xu Xingguang’s words, he quickly left.

Xu Xingguang spat at his retreating figure, rubbed her arms in disdain, and said, ”Why did I ever agree to date trash like that?”

Bai Xi asked Xu Xingguang, ”Teacher Xu, what did he just say to you? Why did it make you so disgusted?”

Xu Xingguang shook her head, ”Don’t ask; it’s terrifying.”

Too nauseated by Jiang Heng, Xu Xingguang couldn’t eat, so she only drank half a bowl of porridge. Then, with her laptop on her back and accompanied by Song Chi, she headed toward the pier.

Today, they’ll be filming all day on the island.

Just as they stepped out of the hotel, a little kid holding a bouquet of sunflowers ran up to them.

Instinctively, Xu Xingguang made way for the child, but the little boy stopped in front of her, handed her the sunflower, and said, ”Xu Xingguang, 6-year-old Brother A Zui greets you.”

Xu Xingguang was taken aback.

The little boy stuffed the sunflower into Xu Xingguang’s hand and ran off.

Dazed for a moment, Xu Xingguang then carried the bouquet of sunflowers toward the pier. After crossing the road, she saw a handsome young man with a big backpack cycling down a path.

Xu Xingguang didn’t pay him any heed, but the youth braked abruptly in front of her. He quickly opened his backpack, took out a box, and handed it to her, saying, ”Xu Xingguang, 15-year-old Brother A Zui greets you.”

Xu Xingguang was stunned.

So this is what Huo Wen’an meant by a surprise last night.

Xu Xingguang took the box and opened it in front of Song Chi, seeing inside a ruby the size of a baby’s fist. Quickly, she closed the lid.

Oh my, such a big ruby! It may not be worth a whole kingdom, but it could definitely buy a University City.

Song Chi caught a glimpse of the ruby too and suddenly blurted out, ”Nightingale’s Tear, discovered in an underground mine in South Africa 80 years ago. Its appearance was deemed extraordinary. Historically, 18 renowned collectors died mysteriously because of it.”

”In world jewelry history, Nightingale’s Tear is recognized as the most precious ruby. It was once a treasured possession of the King of Y Country, but it was painfully given to Lady Captain of the Huo Family to save Y Country from a financial crisis.”

Sounding like a machine, Song Chi recited all the information about Nightingale’s Tear.

Xu Xingguang clicked her tongue and asked, ”How do you know all this?”

Song Chi thought for a moment and said, ”Maybe I once undertook a task related to it?”

Nodding, Xu Xingguang handed the box to Song Chi, ”Protect it well. When I get married, I want it embedded in my crown.”

Song Chi considered for a moment and said, ”That might be a bit heavy.”

”No problem. I like it.”

The childhood and teenage Brother A Zui have made their entrances. Shouldn’t the next one be the young adult Brother A Zui?

Xu Xingguang looked forward to it.

She made her way to the pier with Song Chi, but along the way, there were no more surprises.

Just when Xu Xingguang thought the surprises were over, she saw a man in a wheelchair sitting with his back to her, watching the sunrise.

Xu Xingguang’s expression turned slightly surprised.

Is that?

The wheelchair turned slowly under the man’s control.

Huo Wen’an, staring at the Luo Fei Stone Ring on his middle finger emitting a blue sheen, quietly smiled. He raised the red rose in his right hand and greeted Xu Xingguang, ”28-year-old A Zui greets you.”

”Good morning, my fiancée.”
