Abandoned after first marriage due to infertility, married into a wealthy family and had two childre

In the end, Bai Xiaowei only learned half of her skills in her first shooting lesson.

But at least she learned how to load bullets and turn on the safety. As for where the bullets would eventually land, it all depended on fate.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to practice well, but due to long-term mental work at the desk, her physical fitness has declined significantly. When she raises her hand to aim, her arms always tremble, as if she has Parkinson's disease.

"Keep your arms straight, keep them straight, don't shake!" Yuan Yihong had corrected her for so many times.

Bai Xiaowei looked at him with a painful expression: "I don't want to shake either, but my arms won't listen to me."

The muscles in her arms were sore and painful, and she was able to lift them up only by sheer willpower, without shaking? Forgive her for not being able to do that.

Yuan Yihong sighed and had to give up.

While eating lunch, Bai Xiaowei's arm pain became more obvious, and the hand holding the chopsticks was shaking so much that it almost left afterimages.

Kong Si watched from the side in amazement.

Han Tao had a blank expression on his face, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Yuan Yihong had adjusted his mood, helpless and funny: "Come, I'll feed you."

Bai Xiaowei was upset. She threw away her chopsticks and turned her back without looking at him.

Yuan Yihong waved to the maid to come and serve, and finally with the help of the maid, Bai Xiaowei managed to eat half full.

After dinner, Bai Xiaowei started yawning.

She was already extremely sleepy after becoming pregnant, and coupled with the extra physical exercise, she wished she could just lie down on the floor.

"Go to bed," Yuan Yihong said in a gentle and doting voice, "No need to practice this afternoon. Get up at six tomorrow and continue to practice with me at the shooting range."

Bai Xiaowei, who had just stood up and was halfway through her walk, woke up halfway when she heard this. She stopped in disbelief and turned to look at Yuan Yihong: "Get up at six? Still need to practice?"

Yuan Yihong was amused by her self-righteous attitude: "Is it late or early? Five o'clock?"

Bai Xiaowei took a breath with a toothache: "Can I not practice?"

Yuan Yihong looked at her seriously: "It's not a good habit to give up halfway."

"But, but I never wanted to learn it from the beginning. How can I give up halfway?" Bai Xiaowei resisted weakly.

Yuan Yihong stood up and walked towards her: "Now that you are here, the survival rules you have always followed are no longer useful. You must first learn to protect yourself."

Bai Xiaowei muttered softly: "You are still here, so it's OK if you can do it, right?"

Yuan Yihong couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, but he kept his voice low, letting the shadow cover the slender figure:

"I'm glad you think so, but there are always things I can't take care of. If someone hurts you, even if I cut him into pieces, it can't make up for one ten-thousandth of the pain."

Bai Xiaowei felt cold again and swallowed the words "Then put me back" that were about to come out of her mouth.

"Would you mind getting up at eight?" she tried to bargain.

Yuan Yihong raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but raised his hand to pinch her smooth little face: "Seven o'clock."

Bai Xiaowei waved his hand away and said reluctantly, "Okay."

The moment she returned to her bedroom and closed the door, the cuteness on Bai Xiaowei's face disappeared, replaced by deep sorrow.

Counting the time, she has been here for more than a week. She wonders how anxious her mother and Wenrui must be.

But how could she spread the news that she was safe?

She took out the mobile phone Yuan Yihong had given her from her pocket. It had a girly pink case inlaid with expensive pink diamonds. Did he really think of her as a naive little girl?

She threw her cell phone onto the bedside table and lay down on the bed, planning to find a chance to walk around the island after waking up. There must be places that the jammer cannot reach, and maybe her brooch will have a signal.

Or, she could go to Yuan Yihong's study. When she delivered the coffee, she saw that there was a computer in the study...

My thoughts were in a mess, and my eyelids gradually became heavy...

For the next two days, Bai Xiaowei spent every day at the shooting range. Her arms went from being sore and weak at first to being numb and without any sensation now.

Although I still couldn't hit the target - let alone the center of the target, I couldn't even touch the edge of the target.

But, sleep is better.

Except for eating, bathing and practicing, she spends the rest of the time sleeping.

——She seriously suspected that Yuan Yihong had seen through her plan and used the high-sounding excuse of shooting to consume her physical strength so that she would have no energy to do other things.

Yuan Yihong was equally depressed.

——His original plan, in addition to letting Bai Xiaowei learn how to protect herself, was to enhance their relationship by teaching her how to shoot. However, who knew that Bai Xiaowei only thought about sleeping every day. Even a pig couldn't sleep as well as her!

Early this morning.

"boom--"

While I was sleeping, I heard another deafening sound of cannon fire and deafening shouts of killing!

Bai Xiaowei woke up from her sleep with a start, and suddenly thought that Qiao Yuanzhi had come back to kill her again.

But soon after waking up, he realized that something was wrong.

The shouting and gunfire seemed to come from the seaside?

seaside?

Bai Xiaowei was excited. Could it be that the rescuers had arrived?

Just as I thought of this, there was a knock on the door: "Miss Bai, are you awake?"

It was the maid's voice.

After experiencing the incident of Qiao Yuanzhi bribing the maid around her, Bai Xiaowei is now very sensitive to the identity of a maid. Could it be that Kong Si or Han Tao also bribed the maid and took the opportunity to force or bribe her to do something again?

She didn't say anything.

The maid's voice sounded again: "Don't be afraid, Miss Bai. The master sent me to protect you. Then I will come in?"

The door lock turned and the maid quickly slipped in.

Seeing Bai Xiaowei sitting up from the bed in the dark, the maid respectfully explained, "They are pirates. Don't worry, they will be driven back soon."

pirate?

Bai Xiaowei was disappointed.

But she still perked up and thought, this was the second time she heard the word pirate.

The first time was when he just arrived. Qiao Yuanzhi caught Jenny who was colluding with the pirates and staged a lynching in front of her.

So, does this mean that pirates will attack every once in a while?

If, when the rescuers came to save her, pirates happened to attack the island, would it be possible to greatly reduce casualties and lower the difficulty of rescue?

Thinking of this, she curled up her body, pretending to tremble, and asked in a trembling voice: "Julia, is this place often attacked by pirates?"

Julia couldn't see Bai Xiaowei's expression, she could only hear her frightened and nervous voice, and she comforted her in not very fluent Chinese:

"Miss Bai, don't worry. The pirates here are not large in scale. We have sufficient firepower on our island. We are not afraid of any pirates who come. You will get used to it after a few experiences."

Judging from the look on Julia's face when she said this, Bai Xiaowei guessed that this kind of thing should be commonplace, and even the servants on the island are used to it.

Just at this moment, flames broke through the sky and illuminated the night sky, followed by an even more deafening explosion.

The earth shook.

The bed shook violently and Bai Xiaowei almost fell off the bed.

Fortunately, the maid reached out and held her up.

Bai Xiaowei was still in shock. With the help of the maid, she got out of bed with weak hands and feet and walked downstairs to find a safe hiding place.

We can't stay in the house anymore. If the earthquake is too severe, there may be a risk of collapse.

Suddenly, a slight "beep" sound was heard in my ear.

The sound was very soft, mixed in with the noise, like an auditory hallucination.

However, Bai Xiaowei captured it keenly.

Because the voice came from close to her heart, very close to her.

Bai Xiaowei's eyes suddenly became hot and tears almost burst out.

It's her brooch!

She glanced at Julia who was leading the way ahead, and felt relieved to see that she was unaware of anything.

Julia brought Bai Xiaowei to the first floor, and very experiencedly found an open place with shelter. She helped Bai Xiaowei sit down, and began to observe and be on guard.

Bai Xiaowei turned around quietly and touched the brooch she had pinned inside her clothes.

Although the brooch hurt her flesh, at this moment, she was extremely glad of her decision.

She didn't understand why the signal suddenly appeared again, but Bai Xiaowei knew that this opportunity was rare and once the signal was blocked again, she would lose the chance to call for help.

"Julia, I just saw a figure standing over there. Go and take a look. Is it a pirate who sneaked in?"

Bai Xiaowei pretended to be panicked and pointed in a direction helplessly.

Julia looked in the direction of Bai Xiaowei's finger, but saw nothing: "No, the master asked me to protect you, I can't leave."

Bai Xiaowei's voice became even more flustered: "Just go and take a look. I'll feel relieved once I'm sure there's no one there. Otherwise, I'm always afraid that someone will attack from behind."

"I promise to stay here and not go anywhere or make any noise. No one will find me. Please, go and take a look!"

At the end of her speech, Bai Xiaowei's voice was choked with sobs and she was about to cry.
