Sweet Chief Secretary - Chapter 545

Chapter 545 You Can Get Nothing after I Die

Brother Hu looked at Xia Yu, and then looked at the crying child, showing hesitation in his eyes, “keep them in the same room.”

Then the two of them were taken to the room on the second floor. The door was slammed shut, and Xia Yu’s heart also trembled hard. She could not think about anything and her mind was a complete blank.

“Auntie, aren’t we going to go home? I want to go home.” Cheng Xi said while crying with tears in his distinguishing eyes.

“We can’t go back anymore. We can’t go back.” Xia Yu said distractedly.

It was a long night, and Xia Yu hoped it to be a little longer. She hoped the dawn would not come. Cheng Xi had already fallen asleep, lying in her arms, with tears on his small face. Xia Yu lowered her head and kissed his forehead, muttering, “Cheng Xi, auntie won’t let him hurt you anyway.”

The sky was getting brighter, and the sun was permeating into the room, but it couldn’t illuminate Xia Yu’s heart which had been down in the bumps.

The door opened with a click, and the person outside the door came in. Looking into the eyes of the man opposite her, Xia Yu trembled.

“Xia Yu, morning!” He raised a smile slowly, which made her blood run cold.

Xia Yu reached out to touch Cheng Xi’s face, and then got out of bed. She walked to Chen Wenxuan, knelt down, and held his legs, begging with tears, “Wenxuan, I know I was wrong. I will never try to run away again. I swear. I swear by the god. If I try to escape again, I will go to hell. You can beat me or scold me. I just beg you not to hurt the kid.”

Xia Yu reached out her hand to swear, while Chen Wenxuan kept silent all the time during that. He just looked at Xia Yu expressionlessly, with the same cold and gloomy eyes.

“Xia Yu, I treated you with my heart and soul, but I didn’t expect you to poison me.” Chen Wenxuan sneered.

“I’m sorry.” Xia Yu said with a trembling voice, and her fingers holding his pants had turned white.

He stretched out his hand and pinched Xia Yu’s chin. His pale face looked so hideous, just like a man-eating demon, “Xia Yu, don’t try to escape, otherwise, you will be the one who suffers.”

Xia Yu trembled violently. The man was so terrible!

At this time, Cheng Xi called her in bed. Xia Yu shouted anxiously, “Stay there. Don’t get out of bed.”

Chen Wenxuan suddenly chuckled and looked away from Xia Yu’s face to the bed, saying extremely coldly, “Xia Yu, you really thought I just wanted to scare you when I said to you before that I would throw this little bastard into the sea?”

“No. Don’t hurt the kid. I know I was wrong. I really know that. Please give me another chance. Just one another chance. I will obey your words obediently in the future, and I will never run away and never disobey you.” Begging him desperately, Xia Yu said in a badly trembling voice.

“Auntie, don’t cry. Don’t cry.” Cheng Xi got out of bed and walked to Xia Yu, wiping her tears with his small hand. His eyes also turned red slowly. He looked at Xia Yu worriedly.

“Xia Yu, I have given you chances before, but you did not cherish them. I am really disappointed with you. Take this little bastard out and throw him into the sea.” Cruel words came out from Chen Wenxuan’s mouth.

Hearing the last sentence, Xia Yu almost fainted. Holding Cheng Xi, she broke down and shouted, “No! You can’t do that!”

Two people came in with hesitation on their faces. They looked at Xia Yu, and then looked at Chen Wenxuan.

“Take him out.” Chen Wenxuan shouted at them.

Those two people started to take action after Chen Wenxuan’s shouting. Xia Yu held Cheng Xi in her arms tightly and looked at them resentfully. Cheng Xi also hugged Xia Yu’s neck tightly and cried out with fear in his eyes.

No matter how tightly Xia Yu held him, she was not so strong as two men. Her fingers seemed to be breaking. When one of them took Cheng Xi away, Xia Yu tasted blood in her mouth. Her tongue was bitten.

As soon as she opened her mouth, blood started to pour out. Xia Yu looked at Chen Wenxuan in front of him with red eyes, saying so seriously, “Chen Wenxuan, if you dare to hurt Cheng Xi, I will kill myself, and then you will get nothing.”

The sound of Cheng Xi’s crying consumed Xia Yu with so much pain. Xia Yu did not know whether Chen Wenxuan would compromise, while she had no choice but to try this way.

Time flew away, and Cheng Xi’s crying had turned indistinct. He should have been taken out of the villa. Xia Yu felt that her heart was going to stop beating. She bit her tongue again, looking at Chen Wenxuan stubbornly.

“Bring that little bastard back.” Chen Wenxuan said to the two men at the door, and then looked at Xia Yu, “Xia Yu, remember it. I won’t give you another chance anymore.”

“I know. It won’t happen again.” Feeling like she was alive again, Xia Yu replied at once.

Cheng Xi was brought back. Xia Yu held him in her arms, stroking his head gently, and said softly, “It’s okay. Don’t be afraid. Auntie is with you.”

Cheng Xi was badly terrified. No matter how Xia Yu comforted him, he kept crying. His face was badly pale, and his eyes were swollen.

Brother Hu kept standing by and watching with cold eyes. After Chen Wenxuan left, he came to Xia Yu and stared at her for a while before saying, “Miss Xia, how did you do that?”

“What?” Xia Yu paused for a moment. She didn’t understand what he said.

“I mean, how did you poison Chen Wenxuan alone?” Brother Hu thought about it all night but still couldn’t figure it out. It was amazing.

He looked at Xia Yu with worship in his eyes.

Xia Yu smiled bitterly. She made that, but still failed to escape the clutches of Chen Wenxuan. Cheng Xi cried more fiercely at this time.

Brother Hu got a headache because of Cheng Xi’s crying, so he did not continue to question her. He turned around and went out. When he left, the two guards at the door were withdrawn by him.

On this isolated island, where could a woman go with a child? Was it necessary to keep an eye on them so seriously?

Since that morning when Chen Wenxuan said that he would throw Cheng Xi into the sea, Cheng Xi became ill and had a fever intermittently. He had been terrified.

“Cheng Xi, good boy, take the pills.”

Cheng Xi wrinkled his small face when he saw the pills on Xia Yu’s hand, and said, “Auntie, they’re bitter.” His voice sounded weak.

“You’ll get better after having the pills. Good boy.” Looking at the kid who had turned thinner, Xia Yu felt so poignant. If Wanru saw him at this time, she would be very distressed.

After taking the pills, Cheng Xi fell asleep soon. Xia Yu took his temperature every hour to see whether he still had a fever. He didn’t sleep well. He always woke up, and every time he woke up, he looked for Xia Yu anxiously. He continued to sleep peacefully only when he saw Xia Yu.

Xia Yu knew that he didn’t feel great, but he didn’t cry. Sometimes he saw Xia Yu crying with worry, he comforted her. Chen Wenxuan came over once, and Cheng Xi cried in horror when seeing him.

Chen Wenxuan turned angry and wanted to teach him a lesson, but he was pulled out by Brother Hu, “He is sick. Do you want to be serious with a kid?”

“Is he a kid? He is a little devil.” Xia Yu was with this little devil every day, which bothered Chen Wenxuan so much.

“This is true, but you have to treat him right. Don’t forget what Xia Yu said. She would kill herself if anything happened to this child.” Brother Hu patted Chen Wenxuan on the shoulder, asking him to suppress his anger for the sake of money.

Cheng Xi still had a fever one day later and began to cough.

“Wenxuan, could you please call in a doctor? Cheng Xi’s condition has become worse, and it is useless to take medicine.” Xia Yu knocked on the door of Chen Wenxuan’s room and said to the person inside cautiously in a pleading tone.

Chen Wenxuan glanced at Xia Yu indifferently and said, “There will be a fishing boat delivering supplies after two days. I will let them bring a doctor here.”

Xia Yu’s heart sank. Cheng Xi’s condition might be worse after two days. Xia Yu opened her mouth, but said nothing finally because she saw the coldness in Chen Wenxuan’s eyes.

When he was about to leave the room, Chen Wenxuan stopped Xia Yu, “Come here.”

Xia Yu walked to him immediately without showing any reluctance on her face. Chen Wenxuan held Xia Yu into his arms, bowed his head to kiss her lips, and looked at her deeply.

After the kiss, Chen Wenxuan touched Xia Yu’s face with a smile, and said, “Good girl.”

Xia Yu turned around and planned to leave.

“Wait. I have something to tell you.” Chen Wenxuan’s voice rang behind Xia Yu.

“What?” Xia Yu looked back at Chen Wenxuan.

Chen Wenxuan pondered for a while and said, “You know it costs me a lot of money here, and my money can only last for two months…”

Speaking of this, Chen Wenxuan paused for a while and looked at Xia Yu.

Xia Yu said immediately, “I can write a cheque and you can let someone cash it.”

“That’s a good idea.” Chen Wenxuan was quite satisfied with Xia Yu’s answer, and he didn’t find anything wrong.

Seeing that Chen Wenxuan had nothing to say then, Xia Yu came out of his room and walked to the bathroom quickly.

Xia Yu vomited up the porridge she ate in the morning, and she stopped vomiting when there was nothing left in her stomach. Xia Yu sat on the ground for a long time. Hearing Cheng Xi was calling her, she then stood up. After a quick mouthwash, she left the bathroom.

When she walked into the room, he was sitting on the bed. After seeing Xia Yu, the fear in his eyes disappeared. Cheng Xi flattened his lips, looking aggrieved. He stretched out his arms, wanting Xia Yu to hug him.

“Auntie, I wanna go to the beach to collect shells.” He leaned his head on Xia Yu’s shoulder and said in a hoarse voice, coughing a few times after saying.

Xia Yu stroked his back and comforted him softly, saying, “We’ll collect shells after you get better, okay?”

After a long while, he agreed. Xia Yu then took him to the balcony to breathe in the fresh air. Cheng Xi kept looking at the direction of the beach, his eyes full of longing.

Xia Yu waited for the arrival of the supply boat anxiously, but that night there was a typhoon. Listening to the sound of the waves and wind outside, her heart burned with anxiety and she didn’t fall asleep all night. When it was almost dawn, Xia Yu came to the balcony. The wind had died down a lot than before, but the waves were still violent. She didn’t know whether the supply boat would come.

Cheng Xi’s condition had become worse these two days. He coughed every morning and evening, and had a recurrent fever. Xia Yu had hardly slept these two days.
