Chapter 103: SolutionTranslator: Henyee Editor: Henyee

The two brothers looked embarrassed and didn’t speak.

Xiao Hongli, having served as a government official for many years and seen various kinds of people, had long had a pair of sharp eyes. Seeing the two brothers acting evasive, he scowled and asked, “What’s wrong with Rourou!”

“She ended up unconscious trying to save me. She’s in the next ward right now,” Xiao Yao said softly, looking at his parents.

Xiao Hongli and Yang Jingxian hurriedly went to the neighboring ward, and they grew very worried upon seeing Tang Xi lying unconscious on the sickbed. They checked the medical monitor and were relieved to see the indexes on it were all normal. After returning to Xiao Yao’s ward, Xiao Hongli stared at the three brothers and sneered, “You’d better give me a good reason. Why was Xiao Yao injured? Why did Rourou, a little girl, go to save him? And why is she in a coma?”

Xiao Yao felt a bit uncomfortable. Was he really Dad and Mom’s son…

Xiao Yao took a look at Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing. Xiao Sa immediately went to the door to guard the door, and then Xiao Yao began to talk. “I’m a special division captain of the International Anti-Terrorism Combat Force of China. The day I sent Rourou to school, I was ordered by my superior to head to City J, Province Y to kill the leader of an international terrorist criminal organization, Kloss, but we were ambushed by him and almost completely annihilated.”

Xiao Hongli frowned and looked deeply at his son. He had always thought he knew his son well, but he had no clue that his son had become a major of the Special Forces… He could imagine what his son had been through over the years.

Yang Jingxian also had mixed feelings, feeling both sorry and proud. She was born into a military family. Although she had lived happily after marrying Xiao Hongli, she had always felt sorry that none of her children joined the army. She didn’t expect her eldest son to give her such a big surprise.

All the three sons of her brother, Yang Jingchao, had joined the army when they were young. His sons were in their thirties now but were only senior captains, yet her son was already a major.

And her brother was only a major general…

She didn’t know whether she should feel sorry for her son, or be proud of him.

Xiao Hongli asked, “How could Rourou have gone so far to save you since you were in City J? And why did she faint?”

“Mom, Dad, you two already knew that Rourou was different from ordinary people, right?” Instead of answering Xiao Hongli’s question, Xiao Yao asked the two of them a question instead.

Hearing Xiao Yao’s question, Xiao Hongli guessed that what he would say next might be unimaginable, or even unacceptable, so he fell silent.

Yang Jingxian tried to put on a smile but failed, so she asked, “What do you mean? I don’t understand.”

Xiao Yao sighed and replied, “I had more than 20 gunshot wounds, and the most serious one was the one in the abdomen, which almost killed me. Just when I thought I was going to die, Rourou appeared.”

Yang Jingxian suddenly covered her mouth with her hand and murmured, “So what I saw that day was true…”

Xiao Yao looked at Yang Jingxian and Xiao Hongli also looked at her with a frown, asking, “What did you see?”

Yang Jingxian took a look at Xiao Sa standing in the doorway and another at Xiao Jing before she began, “I saw Rourou disappear…

“On the day brother and his wife visited us, I went back to my room to take a nap after lunch. After a while, I got thirsty so I got up to drink some water. But when I opened the door, I saw Rourou suddenly disappear from the sofa, after which Jing and Sa rushed out. I thought I was dreaming…” Yang Jingxian looked a little dazed as she continued, “but it turned out to be true…” She looked at Xiao Yao and asked, “Is Rourou a human or not?”

Xiao Hongli couldn’t believe her words. “Are you sure you weren’t dreaming?”

“Dad, even if Mom was dreaming, we weren’t,” Xiao Jing interjected. “Rourou told us that she’s a fairy, but we thought she was joking. We didn’t believe it until the day Yao fell in danger and Rourou saved him. Yao was too badly injured and the doctors couldn’t save him, yet Rourou only spent an hour and a half to finish the operation, and Yao survived…”

Xiao Yao nodded and continued, “But Rourou fell into a coma because she was too exhausted. The doctor said she may never wake up.”

Yang Jingxian murmured, “No wonder I felt she was different from the first day I saw her. It turns out that she is really a fairy.”

Xiao Hongli said seriously, “What’re you talking about? There is no god or ghost in the world. Don’t talk nonsense!”

Xiao Jing sneered, “Then Dad, what kind of creature do you think Rourou is?”

“Alright. Keep in mind that Rourou is unconscious because she fell down a flight of stairs. Don’t mention anything else!” Xiao Hongli looked at them and finished coldly, “Rourou is the daughter of our family. She is a normal person. Understood?”

The four of them nodded. They would, of course, not expose Rourou’s secret. They couldn’t let others know that Rourou was a fairy; otherwise, she would be in great trouble if someone harboring ill intentions found out about it. Besides, Rourou was in a coma. It might be too late for them to regret if her secret was exposed.

Xiao Hongli said seriously, “I’m going to make a phone call. We can’t just sit by and wait for Rourou to wake up.”

Xiao Yao said, “I’ve asked some professional brain doctors in the capital to come over and examine Rourou. They are all very experienced experts on the human brain.”

Xiao Hongli nodded and got up. “Have a good rest. Don’t worry too much. As for Rourou, I believe she will wake up.”

Xiao Jing frowned. “But the perfume TV commercial is going to be shot on Saturday. How should we explain to them now?”

Xiao Yao said, “Call He Wanning and tell him Rourou is in the hospital.”

Xiao Sa nodded. “This is the only way. Rourou hasn’t broken the contract. She really is in a deep coma. If possible, we can pay the liquidated damages and let He Wanning choose another model.”

Xiao Yao agreed and asked Xiao Jing to call He Wanning. “Ask him to come to the hospital. He will come.”

When He Wanning received the phone call, He Wanyi happened to be in his office. Hearing Xiao Jing’s words, He Wanning frowned and asked worriedly, “Is she out of danger?”

He then got up and said, “Okay, I’ll be right there.” As he hung up the phone, he said to He Wanyi, “Xiao Rou fell down a flight of stairs and is unconscious. I’m going to visit her in the hospital.”
