"Eh?" Murong Xue looked blank.

She was a troublesome woman! She was not lovely at all!

Shangguan Lin didn't know what he wanted. He just felt the most comfortable being around her. Was it love? Actually, he still didn't understand and just followed his heart. "You haven't contacted me for a long time. Are you hiding from me?"

Of course! How did he know? But of course, she couldn't admit it. "Well, Shangguan Lin, I really don't have time." She then intended to close the door.

Shangguan Lin blocked the door in a flash. "When will you have time?"

"Never. Stay away from her. I'm warning you!" Shangguan Mo shoved Shangguan Lin out of the way and slammed the door shut.

Shangguan Lin gave a bitter smile. His brother hated him as always.

Shangguan Mo pressed against Murong Xue and kissed her on the lips, showering her with kisses. Only when he felt her softness could the panic in his heart be eased.

A long time passed. Shangguan Mo didn't let go of her until she felt suffocated. He took her in his arms and said, "Xue."

"Uh-huh." Murong Xue also hugged him tightly.

"Xue, promise me. Ignore him from now on, OK?" Shangguan Mo mumbled.

Was he so against his younger brother? She still couldn't believe that Shangguan Lin would be a bad guy. Although his purple eyes had eerie power, they were pure. How could a person have such pure eyes if he was so evil as to kill his parents?

Now that Shangguan Mo said so, she would not go against his wish. After all, he was the one that she loved, and she didn't want to see him sad. "OK."

"Let's go and see Bai Xueli. If I can, I want to give her acupuncture today!" Murong Xue said.

"You've made up your mind? Are you assured of it?"

"Yes, don't worry."

"What else do you need?" Shangguan Mo asked.

"Please check the golden needles first." Murong Xue looked at the needle box in his hand. She had to make sure that there was no problem with the golden needles.

Shangguan Mo handed over the box to her.

Murong Xue opened it and examined the needles one by one.

An hour later, she finally closed the box. "Let's go, no problem with the golden needles."

When she was checking, he didn't dare to disturb her and just kept gazing at her quietly for an entire hour. He still couldn't have enough of it. "Don't you need a rest?"

"No, let's go."

Murong Xue felt extremely comfortable in his car and asked, "What brand is your car? I didn't even see the brand logo."

Shangguan Mo replied gently, "My car is handmade in Itely. It is unique in the world, and there is only one such car."

Murong Xue gave a start and said, "Oh, son of a rich family." He really had money to burn. Originally, she intended to buy one if it wasn't very expensive.

Shangguan Mo turned around, looked at her, and then explained, "The most special thing about this car is that it can effectively resist the attack of B98 grenade."

She gazed and gasped in surprise. "How many enemies do you have? Why do I feel that my life is seriously threatened?"

He watched her pat her chest and gave a gentle smile. "Don't worry. I will protect you. Even if I hurt myself, I won't let you get hurt."

His smile helped settle her nerves.

The car soon pulled up at Bai Xueli's estate where they had stayed last time.

In Bai Xueli's room, Murong Xue asked Shangguan Mo to call all the servants out. There were too many people and she would be easily distracted because she needed to take off Bai Xueli's outfit, and Shangguan Mo also waited outside.

Murong Xue first took out the spiritual water and fed Bai Xueli some, but she was in a coma and couldn't swallow much. Luckily, it was enough to give her a florid complexion. She then cut a piece of ginseng and put it in her mouth.

After opening the golden needle box, Murong Xue took out five needles and pierced them into several meridians around the abdomen, including the Danzhong point, the Jiuwei point, the Juque point, the Shenque point, and the Qihai point. Her movements were crisp and agile. Next, she used a special needle-flicking technique of Phoenix needle method to stimulate Bai Xueli's internal organs so that her body potential could turn on self-repair mode.

After just half an hour, Bai Xueli looked more radiant and gained a ruddy complexion, but she remained unconscious.

Murong Xue didn't stop. She took out another two needles and pierced them into Bai Xueli's temples.

A long time passed, Bai Xueli's eyelashes moved a bit. She slowly opened her eyes, with bewilderment in her eyes, as if she hadn't known where she was.

Murong Xue let out a sigh of relief after seeing her open her eyes. Anyway, she hoped she would wake up, as she could feel Shangguan Mo's deep guilt for Bai Xueli. If she could not save her, Shangguan Mo would live in regret for the rest of his life.

Luckily, she finally woke up.

"Who are you?" Bai Xueli's asked, her voice was slightly hoarse for not speaking for a long time.

Murong Xue showed a warm smile. She was Shangguan Mo's sister, and she wanted to get along well with her. "Hello, I'm Murong Xue. I just gave you an acupuncture treatment, so I took off your clothes. Don't move yet. I'll pull out the needles first."

Was she a doctor? She was too young to look like one. Most importantly, she was way too beautiful for her liking. Although Bai Xueli was in doubt, it didn't seem fit to ask now. She nodded slightly, signaling she would stay put.

Murong Xue quickly removed the needles from her and put them back into the box. She picked up Bai Xueli's clothes and was about to help her put them on. "You just woke up and must be lethargic. Let me help you put the clothes on."

Bai Xueli showed a grateful smile. "OK, sorry to trouble you, Miss Murong. You are so young. Are you a doctor?"

What an amiable smile! Shangguan Mo's sister was good-natured and should be easy to get along with. Murong Xue thought and smiled. "I am not a doctor, but I am a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and I'm good at acupuncture. Your brother asked me to come and see you," Murong Xue said while buttoning up for her.

"Where is my brother?" Bai Xueli's eyes brightened.

Murong Xue didn't think much. Bai Xueli had been in a coma for so long and she sure wanted to see her family. "He is waiting outside the door."

"Hurry up. Call my brother in. I want to see him." She said in excitement.

Murong Xue smiled. "OK, I'll call him in now." She got her dressed and walked to the door.

The door opened, and Shangguan Mo looked anxious. Murong Xue smiled and said, "Mo, Bai Xueli woke up. You can come in and see her now."

There was a flash of surprise in his eyes. He quickly walked in and called, "Xueli."

"Brother..." Bai Xueli instantly got teary. "I thought I'd never see you again... Boohoo." She quickly hugged Shangguan Mo once he got near her bed and cried, pressing her face against him.

His eyes red, Shangguan Mo stretched out to touch her head. "Fool, see, you woke up now. It was all my fault. I shouldn't have got you involved."

Bai Xueli cried and shook her head. "I am glad that I was shot instead of you. If you were shot, I would not know what to do."

Murong Xue stood one meter away, watching them embrace in tears of joy. She didn't know why she felt a little uneasy, and then she began to blame herself for being so narrow-minded. They were brother and sister.

She just couldn't get rid of the sour feeling. The hug was a bit too long...

After a while, Shangguan Mo gently let go of Bai Xueli and said, "By the way, Xueli, let me introduce you to her. This is Murong Xue, your sister-in-law. She saved you and woke you up."

"What?" She replied in a loud voice.

"What's wrong, Xueli?" Shangguan Mo asked.

It took a while for Bai Xueli to realize that she made a real gaffe. She forced a stiff smile and said, "Sorry, brother, you really took me by surprise. I just woke up and heard that I had a sister-in-law, and I need a while to digest."

"Silly girl, your sister-in-law is very nice, and you will like her after you get to know her."

Bai Xueli lowered her head slightly, trying to hide her disappointment and sadness. She said in a sulk, "Brother, when did you get married? Why didn't you wait until I woke up?" Her tone was full of complaints, yet not annoying.

"Ha-ha, your sister-in-law is still young. We haven't held a wedding ceremony yet. Don't worry. You're definitely welcome. How can I forget you?" Shangguan Mo said with a smile as he was so delighted. He had been feeling deeply guilty about his sister. Now that she woke up, he could finally get the load off his chest.

Bai Xueli looked up and beamed. "Well, that would be great!" Yes! It was great. It was really great that they hadn't had the wedding yet.

The three of them chatted for a long time. Murong Xue noticed that Bai Xueli was a little tired, so she said, "Mo, Xueli has just woken up and is still a bit feeble. Let her have a rest."

Shangguan Mo then realized they had been talking for quite a while. "Xueli, take a rest first. I'll come to see you later."

Deep down Bai Xueli didn't like what Murong Xue had done, but she nodded gently with a smile at her brother.
