The Big Boss & His Dainty Wife

However, Hai Xiaotang still suffered minor injuries, having sprained her ankle.

Fortunately, the injury wasn’t severe and her bones were unaffected.

Dongfang Yu appeared to be completely unharmed.

He made a call for someone to handle the accident, and then planned to take Hai Xiaotang to a nearby beachside villa.

“Get on!” He squatted in front of Hai Xiaotang, signaling her to climb onto his back.

“No need, I can walk myself.” Hai Xiaotang refused, but he gripped her wrist before she could stand and hoisted her onto his back.

The tall man easily carried her.

Hai Xiaotang momentarily froze, “Really, there’s no need, I can walk myself!”

“We have to leave here quickly.” Dongfang Yu replied.

Hai Xiaotang looked puzzled, “Why?”

Carrying her, the man strode ahead, his voice low, “This accident doesn’t seem simple, it doesn’t look like a coincidence.”

Hai Xiaotang thought back to the moment of the crash.

The sudden appearance of that car, as if intentionally trying to crash into them. Moreover, after the accident, the car had not stopped to check on them.

Thinking back to her previous mishaps, Hai Xiaotang felt a chill down her spine, “Could there really be someone trying to kill me?”

But why?!

A glint of darkness passed over Dongfang Yu’s eyes, “From now on, I’ll have someone protect you covertly!”

He couldn’t allow her to have any more accidents.

They had narrowly escaped this time, but what if they couldn’t escape next time?

In any case, they couldn’t let their guard down again.

However, Hai Xiaotang was still confused, “Who could possibly want to kill me and why would they?”

“I don’t know, we’ve been trying to find out but to no avail. But we will eventually get to the bottom of this.” Dongfang Yu consoled her.

Hai Xiaotang said nothing more, thinking all the way about who could want her dead.

She had no enemies, and didn’t know many people. Who could be attempting to kill her time and time again?

Could it be Lin Xinxin?

But based on Hai Xiaotang’s understanding of her, Lin Xinxin was cautious and wouldn’t do something so overtly harmful. Also, would she really go as far as to want her dead?

So, it likely wasn’t her.

Then who could it be?

While Hai Xiaotang was lost in thought, Dongfang Yu suddenly tightened his arms around her, his voice low, “Hai Xiaotang, don’t be scared of anything, I won’t let anyone hurt you!”

Hai Xiaotang froze momentarily, and then, as if she thought of something, her pupils dilated suddenly and the color drained out of her face!

Dongfang Yu felt her stiffen, and looked back in confusion, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.” Hai Xiaotang responded lightly. The darkness was too intense for Dongfang Yu to see the change in her complexion.

The seaside was still quite chilly in early spring.

Dongfang Yu quickened his pace, and soon, carrying Hai Xiaotang securely, he reached the villa.

The villa was one of Dongfang Yu’s properties. It was large and enclosed by a fence. It even had a garden, and a hired help from nearby came by weekly to clean.

The door used a passcode lock, and once Dongfang Yu entered the passcode, the door opened.

The house seemed to have been cleaned recently, as it was spotless with barely any dust.

Dongfang Yu carried Hai Xiaotang to an upstairs bedroom, laid her on the bed, and rummaged for a first aid kit. He took out some ointment intending to massage her sprained ankle.

But as he reached out to her, Hai Xiaotang moved away, “I can do it myself!”

Dongfang Yu still took her ankle in his hands, “You won’t be able to apply enough pressure…”

“I can do it myself!” Hai Xiaotang pulled away again, her tone extremely resolute.

Dongfang Yu finally noticed something was amiss. He looked at her with a puzzled expression, “What’s wrong with you?”
