Chapter 57: Stay Away from Me

Chapter 57: Stay Away from Me

Hai Ge refused to let Leng Xiyue leave, fearing once she left, she would never return.

Though he had known Leng Xiyue for less than two days, he was deeply captivated by her from the first glance.

Perhaps this is what they call love at first sight.

"Who needs you to take care of me! I need to go back!"

Enduring severe pain, Leng Xiyue sat up but was immediately gripped tightly by the wrist by Hai Ge.

"Hai Ge, are you determined to keep me trapped here?" Leng Xiyue's gaze was icy, sharp as a blade.

Seeing that look, Hai Ge panicked a bit and involuntarily let go.

Once freed, Leng Xiyue immediately attempted to flee the scene.

But she had only taken a step when she fell heavily to the ground.

Enduring the intense pain, Leng Xiyue got up and continued to walk, only to fall again after a few steps.

Since she couldn't walk, she wondered, could she crawl to the water and swim back instead?

Leng Xiyue struggled to crawl, moving step by step towards the bow of the boat.

"Xiaoyue!" Hai Ge rushed forward, embracing Leng Xiyue tightly, his face filled with distress.

"Let me go!" Leng Xiyue said, furious and embarrassed.

"I won't let go!" Hai Ge held on desperately.

"Xiaoyue, don't leave, I like you, I fell for you the moment I saw you. I'm willing to take care of you, just don't leave. I'll do anything you ask!"

Leng Xiyue was stunned by this moment, never having imagined being pursued by a man she knew for less than two days.

"Hai Ge, I already have someone I like."

Actually, she didn't, but she had six children to care for and would never consider living by the river under any circumstances.

"Someone you like? Who? Your boss?" Hai Ge asked, unwilling to give up.

"No." Leng Xiyue's pleading eyes fixed on Hai Ge, "I have an urgent matter and must return immediately, without any delay. If you really care about me, please take me back! Taking me to the hospital works too!"

Hai Ge really didn't want to let Leng Xiyue go, but he also knew he couldn't keep her.

"Alright, I'll take you to the hospital!" Hai Ge made the decision reluctantly.

Just then, a "crack" of thunder sounded, and a downpour began.

"See, it's not that I don't want to take you, but the weather is against us." Hai Ge picked up Leng Xiyue and ran into the cabin.

After struggling to crawl so far, only to be brought back, Leng Xiyue felt murderous frustration.

Her only concern was the secret of her sextuplets being discovered by Gong Xinyi.

This Hai Ge really made a mess of things for her!

"Xiaoyue!" Hai Ge called out softly, his robust figure gradually approaching.

"Stay away from me!" Leng Xiyue immediately hugged herself tightly, "If you dare to mess around, I'll die right in front of you!"

"Xiaoyue..."

Hai Ge, with a look of disappointment, said, "I didn't mean to hurt you, I just wanted to ask if you're hungry?"

"I'm not hungry!"

"Then, are you tired? Do you want to go to sleep?"

The mention of sleep made Leng Xiyue even more nervous.

"I'm not tired!"

With Leng Xiyue so on guard, Hai Ge instantly deflated, walking away dejectedly to one side.

Before long, another eight men returned one after another.

"Hai Ge, I have good news. Our fish were sold out the moment they hit the market," Lao San said happily.

"And the price doubled compared to yesterday," Lao Si added excitedly.

"Oh!" Hai Ge couldn't muster any interest.

"What's wrong, Hai Ge?" The brothers felt something was off.

Spotting Leng Xiyue curled up in a corner like a wounded rabbit, they rushed over to her.

"Xiaoyue, what's wrong?"

"What happened?"

"Don't come any closer, nobody come near me!" Leng Xiyue shouted loudly, her body shrinking back as much as possible, her guard up.
