Yan Xiaoran watched as Jack slowly fell to the ground, letting go of Adam, whose face was as pale as a sheet of paper. Although perhaps, Jack had a strong determination to succeed, before he totally fell into a state of unconsciousness, he grabbed the hem of her skirt before he closed his eyes.

Collective gasps soon were heard as the surrounding people saw a grown man almost 6'4 in height fell to the ground. They looked in confusion and wondered what had happened to him before looking up at the beautiful woman standing before their eyes.

"Oh my! What happened to you, my dear?" Yan Xiaoran worriedly bent down to Jack's body. "I told you not to drink too much. Now, what am I supposed to do with you." She raised her head to look at the onlookers and smiled apologetically.

From their perspectives, Yan Xiaoran was an acquaintance that Jack knew. Her voice and reaction didn't seem to raise any of their suspicions as she looked on worriedly at the unconscious man. They already assumed that she was the wife or partner of that man and didn't express any intention of stopping her from taking him away.

Adam looked on with a pale face and glanced at Yan Xiaoran gratefully. He didn't know what had just happened, but this lady came out of nowhere and saved his life. What he didn't realize was that the woman before him was no other than Madam X, whom he had personally escorted inside the party in front of several guests.

Yan Xiaoran showed a gentle smile at him before giving her attention to Jack. He was really, and with his weight, it would be impossible for her to carry him throughout the hall even if she could carry a sack of rice in a track field. In addition, carrying him by herself would bring too much unnecessary attention to herself.

It was better to get someone's help and carry Jack on their back.

In time as she passed two tables, she saw Long Jie standing idly behind several other guests in the party. The scaredy-cat that thrust himself to Alexander, asking for him to protect him, was now looking at the events without any expression.

His face was calm, but the corners of his lips were curved upwards, seemingly watching a play performed before his eyes. When his eyes landed on Yan Xiaoran, his cold eyes suddenly turned gentler as he waved at her.

"Sister-in-law!"

Yan Xiaoran warily watched him approach her and wondered what's wrong with this guy.

Although she knew that this man was treated by her husband as his younger brother and won't do anything harmful to her, she still couldn't erase this sense of danger coming from Long Jie. It was like being watched by a monster lying closely behind dormant.

Once only a few steps were separating the two of them, Long Jie's eyes were drawn to the huge figure that was leaning against this sister-in-law of his.

"What's this? You're saving people now?" he asked.

Yan Xiaorajn frowned before rolling her eyes at him. "I'm not so idle to save someone while my life is still in danger." Then, glancing at his tall body, Yan Xiaoran found her target and pushed Jack towards him. "Help me carry him. He's the guy who brought the bombs here." She told him.

As soon as he heard her, Long Jie felt like he was holding a bag of hot potato and wanted to throw the man in his arms to the ground. But he held down his disgust and spat coldly, "I detest carrying criminals in my arms."

"Sorry about that then, sugar boy. You ain't getting any princess in this party." Yan Xiaoran laughed before walking ahead.

Alexander was just several tables ahead of them. They separated as soon as Yan Xiaoran saw Jack standing with the guests from a distance and quickly moved without telling Alexander what she intended to do.

When they got closer, cold air suddenly caressed their skin as Alexander's eyes were expressionless, but his lips were tight.

Oh no…

Yan Xiaoran bit her lips and glanced at him in guilt.

She had rushed without any word and left him. He must have been feeling worst after finding out that she disappeared from his side.

"Where have you been?" his cold tone was new to her ears. But, don't get her wrong... She should fear the wrath beneath his voice, but something inside her purred in delight and pleasure upon hearing him.

Has she gone out of her mind already?

Or perhaps, her hormones are going out of balance after not being together for a while now?

"Are you listening?" Yan Xiaoran snapped out from her tranced and looked towards the seething man standing in front of her.

"I saw Jack standing with Adam. I wanted to capture him before we leave this place…" she told him and stared back at those onyx eyes.

Alexander firmly closed his mouth. He glanced at Long Jie, who was carrying a man with an arm and trying his best to hide his presence before this male god. But, unfortunately, before Alexander, not even his outstanding brothers could get past him.

And thus, Alexander ordered him: "Make sure to hold him tight. If he escapes, I'll make sure that you won't be able to get out of the hospital for a year."

Long Jie significantly paled at his warning, and his hands quickly flew to hold Jack's body with a firm grip. He didn't care if someone saw him carrying a man in his arms for as long as he could avoid being punished by his third brother!

After giving order to Long Jie, Alexander walked two steps closer to Yan Xiaoran. His eyes slowly swept every inch of her body, checking for any injury, and when he finally saw none of it, he stretched out his arm and pulled her by the waist.

Yan Xiaoran was shocked and wanted to say something when she heard him speaking next to her ear, "Do not force me to tie you by my side, Xiaoran."

After being glared down by an angry Alexander, Yan Xiaoran obediently shut her mouth and no longer struggled.
