Chapter 358: No Longer Valued After Acquisition

Xia Ning was so frightened that her whole body trembled, yet even so, she bit her teeth and mustered all her strength to look at He Xing, silently persevering.

People bustled back and forth in the hallway. Perhaps it was Xia Ning's face that was overly colorful, or perhaps it was He Xing's face that was too captivating not to look at, for they attracted nearly a hundred percent rate of second glances.

As if a century had gone by, He Xing finally averted his gaze. He turned and headed toward the hospital entrance, his voice cold as he said, "I'll take you back, but if you make a big fuss about this incident, I won't be afraid of you!"

"Never, absolutely never." Xia Ning had to jog to keep up with He Xing's pace. Once outside the hospital, the cold wind blew, and she realized her back was already soaked with sweat. Thinking back to the encounter just now, she still felt a lingering fear in her heart.
