My Wife, The Ice Queen President

Chapter 354: Chapter 0353: Phoenix to the Rescue (Part 1)_1

After bursting in, Ye Xiong drew his dagger, ready to confront the enemy, but he quickly realized that besides Murong Ruyin on the bed, there was no one else in the room.

“Let her go, please.”

“Get away, you bastard.”

“I will kill you.”

Murong Ruyin lay on the bed with her eyes closed, waving her hands frantically in the air.

Ye Xiong breathed a sigh of relief; she was just having a nightmare.

He walked over and sat by the bed, noticing her face was bright red and she was sweating profusely.

Touching her forehead with his hand, it was burning hot; she was actually running a high fever.

Perhaps due to the heat, Murong Ruyin was tearing at her clothes haphazardly, her nightgown pulled up over her shoulders, revealing pure white perfection that made Ye Xiong gasp.

But at this moment, he had no thoughts of indulgence and pulled a blanket over her.

“Mom, please don’t leave me.”

“Please wake up.”

“What will I do without you?”

Murong Ruyin began to cry softly, tears streaming down her face, looking so pitiable that it was especially heart-wrenching.

If he hadn’t accidentally come across this scene, Ye Xiong would never have imagined that a goddess-like figure like her had such a vulnerable side.

From her words, Ye Xiong had guessed the outline; something must have happened to Wu Lizhen.

Just as he was considering how to help her reduce her fever, Murong Ruyin’s eyes suddenly opened.

Ye Xiong’s hand was still on her face feeling for the temperature when he was caught red-handed.

“What are you doing?”

Murong Ruyin swiftly reached under her pillow and pulled out a large Silver Needle, thrusting it at him fiercely.

Ye Xiong jumped in shock and quickly dodged, saying urgently, “Don’t misunderstand, I was just checking if you had a fever.”

“My room door was clearly locked, how did you get in?” Murong Ruyin demanded harshly.

“I was passing by your room and heard you shouting inside; not knowing you were having a nightmare, I thought something had happened to you, so I burst in,” Ye Xiong hurriedly explained. Seeing a look of disbelief on her face, he added urgently, “You don’t think I had any inappropriate intentions, do you?”

Murong Ruyin thought for a moment and realized it might have been so; she was indeed having a nightmare.

Seeing the room door open, she said, “Close the door.”

Ye Xiong went to close the door.

Murong Ruyin looked down to find herself covered with half a blanket. Lifting the blanket, she saw the collar of her nightgown torn open, with half a snowy white hemisphere exposed.

She had a habit of not wearing underwear to sleep.

Which meant, she had been seen completely naked.

Whether or not what he said was true, based on that alone, it was unforgivable.

Her face instantly turned cold.

“I didn’t do it, you tore it yourself while having the nightmare,” Ye Xiong, afraid of being misunderstood, pointed at her clothing and quickly explained, “I swear, I didn’t see anything.”

This statement was undoubtedly revealing too much in his denial.

Murong Ruyin’s face darkened even more.

Ah!

Ye Xiong didn’t know how to explain himself, blaming his overreaction for thinking she was in trouble and breaking in, now being regarded as a pervert!

“Leave now; come back in when I call for you,” Murong Ruyin ordered.

Ye Xiong could only stand by the door until he was called back in five minutes later.

Murong Ruyin had changed into a different outfit. Now more lucid, her complexion was much better and not as red as when she was having the nightmare.

“Did you, by chance, hear me say anything while I was dreaming earlier?” Murong Ruyin asked.

“No.”

Ye Xiong immediately denied it to prevent further complications, “You were saying something unintelligible in your nightmare; I couldn’t understand a single word.”

Murong Ruyin sighed with relief; she was genuinely afraid that she might have inadvertently spoken of her mother’s humiliation.

That incident must remain known only to her for life; no one else could know.

“Thank you for your trouble, you can go back now,” she said.

“You have a fever; don’t you need some medicine?”

“No big deal, I can handle it myself.”

“Then I’m heading back first.”

After saying that, Ye Xiong left the room without looking back.

Returning to his own room, An Le had already left. Without her sexual harassment, Ye Xiong could finally get a good night’s sleep.

Just as he was about to go to bed, a familiar call came in.

Seeing the familiar name on the phone, Ye Xiong’s whole being lit up with excitement.

It was Phoenix, she had taken the initiative to call.

Ever since he faked his death at the company and tricked Phoenix into kissing him, she had been angry. Ye Xiong had been wanting to find an opportunity to apologize, but never had the chance; he thought Phoenix was still mad at him.

“Phoenix, you’re finally willing to call me,” said an excited Ye Xiong.

“I’m in Y City now.”

“Why are you in Y City?”

“I’ve completed my mission, the chief ordered me to come support you immediately. I’ve brought twenty Dragon Group members for reinforcement,” Phoenix asked calmly.

Twenty Dragon Group experts, that’s quite a show of force.

With Wu Wang and the other top fighter from Dragon Group both in Y City, Long Zaitian seemed ready to have a showdown with Long Tianya.

You know, in the past when Ye Xiong was on missions, the most he had ever brought along was ten Dragon Group members.

These members are all highly capable individually; mobilizing twenty at once, along with Phoenix and Wu Wang, they could take down a mercenary squad of hundreds. @@novelbin@@

“You guys find a place to stay tonight, I’ll come see you tomorrow.”

The next day, Ye Xiong ran into Murong Ruyin. She looked much healthier and had returned to her cool and distant demeanor.

If it weren’t for witnessing her nightmare the night before, he never could have imagined she harbored such a helpless side within her.

“Good morning.”

Murong Ruyin was still covering her face as if last night’s events had never happened.

“The Medical Conference is the day after tomorrow, feeling confident?”

“As long as Duanmu Kuang isn’t there, I won’t lose.”

“He won’t show up,” said Ye Xiong coldly.

“Do you guys have an operation planned?”

Ye Xiong nodded, exchanged a few words, and then went to find Wu Wang.

After finding Wu Wang, Ye Xiong said, “I’m taking An Family Sisters and ten Dragon Group members to capture Duanmu Kuang, while you stay here with ten members to guard and protect Murong Ruyin, don’t let anything happen to her”

“Don’t worry, I’ll protect her and make sure nothing goes wrong.”

After coordinating with Wu Wang, Ye Xiong took An Le and headed straight to Phoenix. At the door, he encountered Duanmu Linglong.

Duanmu Linglong seemed to have known that Ye Xiong would take action these past two days, so she stopped him.

“Remember what you promised me; if it comes to it, give him a swift end,” said a teary-eyed Duanmu Linglong.

“I will, don’t worry!”

After the talk, Ye Xiong took the An Family Sisters to find Phoenix.

On the roadside, four SUVs were parked, looking very dominant.

Phoenix, dressed in a black combat outfit, stood out in the crowd, dazzling and sparkling.

Having not seen her for a while, she seemed to have become even more ruthless, radiating the aura of a boss lady.

True to her status as the top woman of Dragon Group, the ten Dragon Group members around her all looked to her lead.

“Long time no see, Phoenix,” Ye Xiong said with a smile as he walked over.

“Get in the car, let’s go.”

Phoenix didn’t say half a word more to Ye Xiong and hopped into the car.

It seems she still hasn’t forgiven the incident where I faked death to steal a kiss from her.

Is it necessary to hold such a deep grudge over a mere stolen kiss? It’s not like I deceived her for something more.

“You, get out of the car, go sit in that one over there,” Ye Xiong ordered, pointing to the vehicle beside the Dragon Group member.

The Dragon Group member obediently moved aside, and Ye Xiong took a seat next to Phoenix.
