Cheng Lie did not fall asleep as he wished.

He struggled for a long time, but he still couldn't withstand the torment of headaches and stomach aches.

Ordinary people like him are under the double pain, and I am afraid that they will not be able to help rolling on the ground anymore.

Cheng Lie relied on his strong willpower to hold back his moans and let himself sit in his seat like a nobody to "close his eyes and recuperate".

But if you look closely, you will find that this person leaning on the back of the chair and closing his eyes to recuperate, his smooth forehead is covered with fine cold sweat, his sexy lips are bloodless, and his slender fingers that are tightly sunk into his stomach are even trembling slightly.

Such pain, in his "history of pain", is nothing at all.

He has endured pain dozens of times more painful than this.

It's just that what makes him feel difficult is that there is a woman sleeping next to him.

He was afraid that he would wake her up because of his movements, and even more afraid that she would find out that he was suffering such pain.

It's strange, isn't she going to divorce him?

He couldn't tell why he cared so much about her feelings.

He didn't want her to be frightened of him, he was afraid to see her cry because of him—

But perhaps, she doesn't care about him as much as she used to.

What's more, in her eyes, he had just left her injured and left with a little nurse in his arms.

She must hate him and think he was ruthless and irresponsible, right?

Otherwise, she wouldn't have said a word to him or looked at him.

Still, that's fine.

She hates him, she won't be sad for him in the future, and nothing about him will affect her anymore.

For her, he is indeed not a very qualified good partner.

Not only does he always have to go out on missions, he can't stay with her, but he always worries her.

His family denied her freedom, even if she was able to work in Yan Ling's nursing home after she fully recovered, but was that kind of environment really suitable for her?

She may have even greater ambitions?

He shouldn't have stopped her from spreading her wings—if he loved her.

But now, he trapped her.

Moreover, he knew that she was not willing to have children at all.

But marrying him, in his family, without passing on the lineage, is impossible.

The deadline given by my father was one year, and now, that deadline is not far off.

Even if you can make an excuse in front of your father that Tang Xiao is sick and needs to recuperate, how long can this excuse delay the one-year period?

When it can't be delayed, is Tang Xiao really willing to give up his job in a nursing home again and have children at home?

That maybe, not what she wanted at all.

A wry smile crossed Cheng Lie's pale lips.

Carefully recall the angry words that Tang Xiao said - angry words may not be true.

She had been annoyed with him, and he really shouldn't have selfishly robbed her in the first place.

The sharp pain across his head made him feel more pain, and it also made him extremely awake at this moment.

Just like Pei Zi's heart-swapping surgery, his surgery is unavoidable.

But who can guarantee that the surgery will be successful?

Even Yan Ling can't guarantee it.

In case there are any sequelae left by the operation, in case he simply dies in this operation, is it possible, and let Tang Xiao take care of him for the rest of his life, or even stay a widow for the rest of his life?

He knew very well in his heart that if Tang Xiao married an ordinary person and her husband died, it would be nothing for her to remarry, but the person Tang Xiao married was him.

A daughter-in-law who has a family, especially the eldest daughter-in-law, even if he dies, cannot marry anyone else without the permission of his parents.

If there is a day when he dies and can no longer protect Tang Xiao, Cheng Feng and Cheng Meng also have their own families, and only Tang Xiao is left alone to stay in the Cheng family and be widowed, what will her life become?

Cheng Lie understands Tang Xiao, she is essentially a woman who pursues freedom.

She didn't want to be bound by anything, marriage, children, which shouldn't have been her shackles in the first place.

It was he who made her a bird in a cage.

If he died, she would not only be a caged bird, but also a bird with her wings cut off and shackled.

That kind of life, for Tang Xiao, will be worse than death.

There are many women in the world, some women enjoy wealth, some women enjoy power, and some women enjoy status......

However, Tang Xiao does not belong to any of them.

Wealth, status, and power, none of these can bring her happiness to Tang Xiao.

But this is what the family can give her the most.

If it is replaced by other women, such as Ren Feilin, she will be satisfied and enjoy it extraordinarily, but for Tang Xiao, these are worthless.

All she wanted was freedom and love.

Tang Xiao had a dream, and in the dream, she saw a figure that looked like Cheng Lie's back, walking towards a blazing and dazzling white light.

Tang Xiao didn't know what that white light was, and intuitively it was a very terrifying place, as if it was about to devour everyone who walked towards it.

Is that Cheng Yeol?

Why did Cheng Lie move forward without saying a word?

Tang Xiao stretched out her hand to grab him, but she saw her hand pass through his body and didn't touch anything.

It turned out that the back in front of him, which resembled Cheng Lie, was just a shadow, and there was no entity.

"Cheng Lie, Cheng Lie, Cheng Lie, you stop!!" Tang Xiao called out to him.

Whether it was Cheng Yeol or not, whether it was a shadow or an entity, a voice in her subconscious told her that she couldn't let him leave like this.

"Don't go...... Don't go there! it's dangerous!" she cried out.

And yet it was all in vain.

No matter how anxious she was, no matter how much she shouted, he still walked forward without looking back, getting closer and closer to the white light.

Tang Xiao tried to run towards him, but to no avail, there seemed to be only a short distance between them, but she couldn't reach him anyway.

She didn't know why, the distance between them couldn't be reduced.

She was going crazy.

What the hell is going to do? How the hell can we catch him and keep him from leaving?

She loved him! How could she let him leave her?

"Cheng Lie, you turn back! Look back at me! Don't go, okay?"

She screamed in despair.

He finally stopped and turned his head slowly.

At this moment, the white light suddenly enveloped him.

She had just seen his face clearly, and in an instant, his face and his body were peeling off like pieces of transparent sequins......

"No...... Don't!" Tang Xiao screamed and threw himself at the white light.

She opened her eyes suddenly.

Maybe it was too hot in the cabin, she was wet and hot, her neck was sticky, and when she reached out to touch it, she was all sweating.

Tang Xiao took off the white cardigan on his body blankly, his chest rose and fell slightly, and a heart was beating in his chest.

It's just a dream......

She gasped slowly.

It's just a dream, but it's like running for thousands of kilometers.

The anxious feeling in the dream was too real.

But it's okay, it's just a dream.

But why do you dream like that?

No matter how you think about it, that kind of dream is very unlucky.

Tang Xiao wiped the sweat from his sideburns with the back of his hand, trying to adjust his breathing and calm himself down.

Looking at the watch on my wrist, the plane has been flying for two hours.

She slept for more than an hour.

But this sleep did not bring her good spirits, but made her feel a kind of fatigue after overexercise.

She sat in her seat for a moment, and then suddenly realized something—

The seat next to her was empty.

There, it was supposed to be sitting Cheng Lie.

What's going on?

Why wasn't he there?

Where did he go?

Did the plane land halfway through? Why didn't she feel it at all?

Tang Xiao's heartbeat, which had just calmed down, beat violently again.

Linked to the dream just now, Tang Xiao felt very bad, all kinds of messy thoughts came one after another, and she always felt that something had happened to Cheng Lie.

Her two hands subconsciously unbuckled their seat belts, but the more panicked she became, the more messy her hands became.

Her hands even trembled, and she couldn't get any strength.

Tang Xiao was so anxious that tears were about to come out.

Calm, calm......

She took a deep breath as she tried to calm herself.

The seat belt was finally unfastened without any problems.

Tang Xiao couldn't wait any longer, and stood up.

As soon as "Sizzle......" stood up, there was a sharp pain in the soles of his feet, which made Tang Xiao can't help but gasp for air.

It hurts!

I was in a hurry just now, and I completely forgot that my legs and feet were not good.

It's no wonder that he stood up in such a hurry, and it didn't hurt.

She was a little annoyed, but also only frustrated - because what she wanted to do most now was to find Cheng Yeol right away.

At the very least, to know where he went.

Tang Xiao held the back of the chair in front of him with his hand, and lowered his head and carefully raised one foot forward......

At this moment, a familiar magnetic voice came: "What are you doing?"

Tang raised his head with a smile.

Then, she saw Cheng Yeol.

For a moment, she was so angry and anxious that she couldn't care about anything, and the words of complaint rushed out of her mouth: "Where have you been?

At this, she suddenly paused.

Cheng Lie stood in front of her, tall and handsome, with a wheat-colored face, sculptural facial features, cold and sharp eyebrows, and a pair of black eyes as cold as stars.

He stood there with a dignified appearance, looking like nothing had happened, and he was so graceful and indifferent that she looked like a madman and a fool.

"What do you know?" his voice was low, like a glass of cold boiled water, calm and indifferent, without any temperature or emotion.

Tang Xiao's heart was like tumbling magma just now, and it calmed down in an instant.

It was only then that she remembered—

They had a quarrel before boarding, and this fight was even to the point of divorce, and the two had been in a cold war since the quarrel, Tang Xiao had made up his mind not to speak to him first.

Tang Xiao thought that Cheng Lie would take the initiative to talk to her after getting on the plane, but Cheng Lie never did, and he didn't do it until she fell asleep.

She was so confused that she couldn't wait, so she forced herself to sleep, and who knew that after falling asleep, she had such a terrible dream.

After waking up from the dream, she was so worried about his safety that she forgot about the Cold War.
