The boss is chasing after the chaebol’s ex-wife, but you can’t afford it

Snowflakes were flying and the cold wind was howling.

On the way back, Li Huan had no car and was walking alone in the white sky and earth.

Thinking of Tang Qiaoer who was in danger, whose life or death was uncertain, thinking of Shen Jingjue with blood all over his head and a bullet in his body, yet he still wanted to go find Tang Qiaoer, that determined figure.

Li Huan's calloused hands were trembling as he covered his heart, which was beating violently for no apparent reason.

"Well--!"

Suddenly, he felt a burst of pain in his temple, his vision went dark, his legs went weak and he knelt in the snow.

The pain was so horrible that it pierced my heart and lungs, and my eyeballs bulged and seemed to pop out of their sockets!

He gasped for breath, his hands trembling as he reached for the necklace around his neck.

That hidden pill box.

The doctor told him that the medicine inside could calm him, relieve his pain, and save his life.

As a result, he failed to hold the pill and it fell into the snow and disappeared in the blink of an eye!

Li Huan's head was buzzing and his trembling hands fumbled in the snow in panic. He had never been so frightened before.

The headache is getting worse.

To relieve the pain, he stripped off his shirt and buried his scarred body in the snow, using the biting cold to ease the pain.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be such a miraculous effect by accident!

Gradually, Li Huan opened his eyes which were bloodshot. Although his internal organs were tight and his head ached slightly, it was much better than before.

His face was pale and he had just put on his clothes when his cell phone rang.

Seeing that it was Mu Xueruo who called, Li Huan's eyes revealed annoyance and a hint of hesitation.

The phone rang for a long time before he picked up the phone and slowly put it to his ear.

"Li Huan, I heard that you called for backup. What happened? Are you in trouble?" Mu Xueruo's voice was cold and indifferent. It was just a routine inquiry.

Li Huan's eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice, "Well, the car is gone. We need a car to go back."

Mu Xuerou asked suspiciously, "The car is gone? Where did it go?"

"It was taken away by Shen Jingjue."

Mu Xuerou couldn't believe it, "What?! You didn't stop him? You failed your mission?!"

Li Huan felt a tightness in his chest, and somehow, he lied like never before:

"The gentleman didn't let me kill him. I wrecked his car and fought with him. He took my gun and shot me."

Mu Xueruo was silent for a moment, and seemed to believe it.

After all, Shen Jingjue was once the best in the military academy and his fighting power was off the charts.

It’s reasonable that Li Huan can’t win.

"My men have gone to pick you up, but you failed this time, and the consequences are serious. Think about it carefully on the way back and think about how to explain it to the gentleman!"

After saying that, the woman hung up mercilessly.

Li Huan looked up at the silent night and took a deep breath of cold air.

After thinking for a while, he slowly raised his hand and shot himself in the left shoulder.

The flawless white snow was stained red by drops of blood.

Li Huan's forehead was aching so much that he was sweating, but he didn't look painful at all. Instead, he raised the corner of his lip with determination:

"This is my explanation to you, sir."

……

Shen Jingjue dragged his seriously injured body and followed Captain Xiao and the rescue team into the depths of the forest.

"Boss Shen, you look so pale, is it really okay?"

Captain Xiao saw that his face was covered in sweat, as if he had just been fished out of the water, and he couldn't help but worry, "We can just come and look for Miss Tang, and Secretary Lin has already notified her family, so we must have enough manpower. You should go down the mountain and wait for news."

"No, I want to find her."

Shen Jingjue's vision was sometimes clear and sometimes blurry. He walked forward numbly, "I owe her this."

"Ah, you two, you were once a famous imitation couple in Shengjing, how did it end up like this? It's such a pity..."

Shen Jingjue pursed his extremely thin lips and lowered his head. His footsteps, getting deeper and deeper with each step, seemed to leave heavy marks on his heart.

A heart full of obscure emotions, in this icy and snowy place, exploded silently, causing pain in my internal organs.

Even if he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit it.

He regretted it.

Finding the little white dove is certainly important.

But if the price is to put Tang Qiaoer in deep danger, with no way to make up for her life...

"Captain Xiao! We found climbers' footprints here!" someone shouted excitedly.

Shen Jingjue's depressed eyes suddenly became sharp. He rushed forward first. When he saw the footprints, he recognized them as women's footprints at a glance!

There will be no one else except Tang Qiaoer!

"We are looking in the right direction. She has walked past here. The wind and snow are so strong. Judging from the length of her steps and the speed of travel... she won't go too far." Shen Jingjue's extremely depressed mood was slightly relieved, and his voice trembled slightly.

"But the footprints disappeared here. They must have been buried by the heavy snow!"

Captain Xiao frowned, extremely worried. "Besides, we have been calling Miss Tang's name all along the way. With so many people calling her, she should be able to hear it if she is nearby!"

Shen Jingjue's voice was low, "The wind was strong and the snow was heavy, so the sound was absorbed and blown away. Qiao'er might not be able to hear it."

Pretty.

He blurted it out without even realizing it.

"I'm afraid Miss Tang might faint, get hurt and fall somewhere, and lose consciousness. That would be the end of her! It's so cold, she could freeze to death!"

Everyone looked at each other, their hearts tense.

It's not Captain Xiao's bad mouth, but this is a cruel fact that can happen. Every year, one or two people die in Qile Mountain. The mountains and forests are dangerous and unpredictable, and it's not surprising that anything can happen!

"Look for each other separately."

Shen Jingjue looked at the dark jungle, his heart trembling with extreme fear and anxiety, "I will never leave until I find her."

Captain Xiao: "But if..."

"If anything happens to her, I will be buried here with her. I mean what I say."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Jingjue turned around resolutely and said goodbye to everyone.

Captain Xiao looked at the man's back as he gradually disappeared into the thick night and sighed:

"They say that wealthy families are home to many infatuated people, and that's true."

……

Shen Jingjue racked his brains while trudging along.

Tang Qiaoer finally managed to get him to agree to something, but he only asked her to accompany her to climb the mountain.

Then it definitely can’t be as simple as just climbing a mountain.

Maybe she wanted to relive their past with him.

Put yourself in his shoes. If he were Tang Qiaoer, where would he go after going up the mountain alone?

Shen Jingjue's heart was pounding. He forced himself to stay calm and walked to the cave where he and Tang Qiaoer had taken refuge when they encountered a landslide that year.

Looking at the empty cave, the scene of them surviving death and relying on each other instantly flooded into his mind.

——"If God doesn't bless you, I will bless you."

The solemn oath is unforgettable.

This was what he set for Tang Qiaoer. He has not forgotten it and he remembers it all.

With a thud, the world spun around.

Shen Jingjue's eyes were red, and he finally ran out of strength and fell to his knees.

"Tang Qiaoer...I want to find you..."

He lay on the ground, clutching a handful of cold mud, trying again and again to stand up from the pain, "I must... find you!"

……

Amid despair, the temperature continued to drop.

The weather is as cruel and brutal as reality.

Tang Qiaoer was hiding behind the rocks, curled up into a ball, her entire body almost covered by the white snow. If you didn't pay attention, you wouldn't be able to see that there was a living person here!

She closed her eyes tightly, her lips were purple, and she was in a state of hypothermia and confusion.

It won't be long before her whole body is frozen and she is on the verge of death.

Tang Qiaoer curled up and trembled. In a trance, warm scenes from her childhood appeared before her eyes.

She did not feel cold, but instead felt a little warm. It was her mother who had passed away many years ago who came to her, opened her arms, and hugged her with her whole heart.

"Qiaoqiao, baby, don't be afraid, mommy is here."

The beautiful and gentle woman stroked her head gently, "Mom knows you've been having a hard time, go to sleep, mom will protect you..."

"Mom...I'm so tired..."

Tang Qiaoer whispered with tears in her eyes, her whole body was so fragile that it seemed like it would break at the slightest touch, "Mom...I suddenly realized that I don't want her anymore, I can't hold on any longer.

Mommy... take me away... Mommy..."

Just as she was fading from consciousness, a familiar voice faintly sounded in her ears.

"Tang Qiao'er!"

Is it... a shock?

Tang Qiaoer was startled as if she had been electrocuted, and suddenly opened her eyes in the arms of the woman with a blurred face.

"Qiaoqiao, Shen Jingjue has already abandoned you. She doesn't want you anymore, so why would she come to find you? Go to sleep, sleep well..." The woman's bewitching voice was wearing away her will.

Tang Qiaoer was disheartened and smiled bitterly.

Yes, how could it be a sudden realization?

She would never have any hope for that man again...

However, the next second——

Tang Qiaoer felt a pair of big hands holding her shoulders, and the ten fingers seemed to penetrate into her flesh and blood and touch her soul.

She opened her eyes absentmindedly.

In the darkness and chaos, Shen Jingjue's starry eyes were bright and brilliant, competing with the sun and the moon in brilliance.
