27 Safe

There's this sweet melody trying hard to seep into her ears and flow towards her heart. 

It was like a ray of light penetrating through the wall of darkness that clouded her world.

The voice seemed like a heavy alarm asking her to wake up from her slumber. The smoothness of the melody along with the emotional tone of the voice was tempting her heart to float like a little feather.

Her mind was at ease and she no longer felt cold as a tinge of warmth slowly started to spread throughout her body. Like a new day, she was greeted by a trace of light.

"The world always appears dark, as long as you keep your eyes shut" A voice from her inner conscious hinted her. She struggled hard to open her eyes but the heaviness of her eyelids was something incomparable against which she couldn't fight and win.

His familiar mellow voice passing through her eardrums caused her heart to twitch in pain. She felt an urge to open her eyes but she failed to do so.

Right. It was her wish to see that man on stage again and hear him sing. She would love to see him sing again but this darkness around her was like a huge monster that was trying to swallow her whole. She was stuck in a phase from which she couldn't escape.

"Hey, I'm asking you..What the hell are you doing?" She heard a male voice that sounded annoyed and impatient. She knows who owns such a deep, sexy voice. It was him, her husband, Gu Zichen.

"Why do you care? And what right do you have to question me?" 

"I care because she's my wife and I have every right to question you as her husband" That impatient voice instantly became ice cold as though trying to kill the other person.

"She's your wife?! Does the world know? Does her family know? Does your family know?" A mocking voice followed by a chuckle made the atmosphere even more tense.

Wu Jinyan received enough information based on the what she heard so far. These men were sparing with words for a woman.

It wasn't her first time hearing such heated arguments between people but it wasn't hard for her to realize that she was the main subject in the present conversation and the reason for those men to squabble with each other.

And when was the last time a person quarrelled with others for her? Well, this wasn't the first time but she still felt content as someone was willing to fight for her.

'Wu Jinyan..Are you going to let those men fight because of you? You really want to be the cause of a blood shed?" A serene voice from her inner mind warned her from one side.

"Wu Jinyan...people fight with others, only when they care for you. Just let them go ahead with their full strength and see who cares for you more" She heard a squealing from other side making her head to explode with splitting headache.

"Wu Jinyan...wake up. You can't be a stupid to see men fight for you. Wake up. You can solve your own problems on your own"

"Wu Jinyan... Don't. Let them fight. There seems to be more drama coming up with the intensity in their conversation"

"Wu Jinyan.."

"Wu Jinyan.."

Wu Jinyan felt her head exploding with all these stupid discussions 'Shoo! Shoo! Go away..I know what to do'

She concentrated again and listened the male voices again as she tried to open her eyes and see their faces.

"There's no need for me to explain about my relationships to anyone" Gu Zichen said in an icy tone with his hands shoved in his pockets. His presence was too oppressive, one would shudder in fear. However, Mu Feng stood unmoved as he decided to rebel against this stone cold person right from the beginning.

"Haha...Uncle. Let me remind you, even if you explain nothing to outsiders, she, as your wife has every right to know about you. She might look like a stupid to you just because she blindly married you, but I'm not an idiot to sit and watch when you are hurting her. If in any case, your complicated relationship with your girlfriend causes any kind of harm to Wu Jinyan, don't tell I didn't warn you beforehand, I don't mind dirtying my hands" Mu Feng said in a threatening manner as if challenging the other person. He was unafraid of losing his life as he was more afraid of losing the woman he loved.

'Uncle?!' Wu Jinyan was confused but still dropped the matter and continued listening.

"I don't know how exactly you are related to Jinyan for you to worry about her. But let me tell you, I have no relationship with any woman other than her, let alone complicated ones. You can rest assured, she won't get hurt and she will always be safe, with me beside her" Gu Zichen pushed Mu Feng away and walked towards the bed. His expression was unfazed but there's a trace of hesitation and uneasiness in his voice that could cause anyone to doubt his promise.

"Is that so?!" Mu Feng chuckled "Then why do I still hear certain someone still claiming you as her boyfriend. Should I enlighten you by reminding her name?" He walked behind Gu Zichen with a serious face and continued "She's none other than the Young Miss of Li family, Li Xiao..."

Wu Jinyan felt a surge of pain dominating her heart and opened her eyes immediately as she wasn't brave enough to hear the name of that woman even though she already guessed who she could be.

Mu Feng who was speaking while emphasising each word stopped on noticing the change in Wu Jinyan. He dashed towards the bed only to see her eyes wide opened, by the time when Gu Zichen already pressed the emergency bell to summon the doctors.
