Saving the Second Male Lead: What to Do When You Enter a Domineering Boss's Novel

Joysa almost nodded in agreement, but she was still rational. Her dizzy head, immobile legs, tired breathing, and black and white world all told her that she would not live long.

"You know, I'm about to disappear." She was wrapped in Nangong Xianyue's arms and shook her head gently.

She did not use the word "death" because she herself did not know whether after she died in this world, she would return to reality or die completely, because this body was her true self.

"Even if you disappear tomorrow, I won't change my mind. I will only marry you in this life. Besides, you may not disappear. Maybe the story will repeat itself. You won't disappear. Everything will just start over again. One day, we will change the ending."

"Do I have to make you suffer this kind of pain every time?" Joysa said, choking herself. "This is too cruel for you."

"This is not just a punishment for me. You have also endured the pain of my love for someone else for so many years. This may be a punishment for our love across time and space, but it is precisely because of this that we can truly embrace each other. Isa, don't blame yourself. I am very happy. I have seen the real you."

"Me too, Nangong Xianyue. I finally didn't see you in a dream. I touched you, and my hand no longer passed through your arm..."

Nangong Xianyue put the men's wedding ring into her palm, "Yisha, can you help me put it on now?"

Qiaosha took the ring, raised her hand with difficulty, and pushed the ring onto his fingertips, but just when she reached the first knuckle, her eyes slowly closed, and her hand dropped weakly. The ring in her hand fell on the bed, and rolled to the ground with the ups and downs of the quilt, making a "ding" sound, which was crisp and ethereal in the dark night.

Nangong Xianyue's expression froze on his face, as if his soul had been taken away. His body did not move at all, and he maintained the posture of hugging her. He did not dare to look at her face. He was afraid to see Qiao Yisha, who was motionless and completely lifeless.

An unknown amount of time had passed before he held the woman tightly in his arms with his fingers trembling slightly, his face pressed against hers, trying to convey warmth to her, "Isa, don't leave me, I just met you, Isa, don't be so cruel." His narrow eyes were red and filled with despair, and hot tears slid down his cheeks, "Isa, please, don't leave me..."

He held Qiao Yisha's face and kept kissing her on the face, as if he was kissing a rare treasure, and his tears also fell on her face. Suddenly, Qiao Yisha's eyelashes trembled slightly, and Nangong Xianyue's pupils shook violently. He moved close to Qiao Yisha, put his ear close to her lips, and tried his best to listen to the faint breathing sound.

Although the voice was weak, it was like a ray of dawn, making a bud bloom in his hopeless and barren land. He cried with joy, and his tears fell from the corner of his jaw onto the quilt. She was still there, she was still there...

He looked at Joysa with tearful eyes, as if he wanted to carve her face into the deepest part of his heart.

On August 22, Joysa's birthday, the sound of fireworks in Falls Garden never stopped.

Fireworks are not limited to the dark night as a backdrop.

During the day, hundreds of thousands of "daytime fireworks" were placed around Falls Gardens and lit simultaneously.

The sky above Falls Gardens was instantly lit up, and countless smoke and fireworks bloomed into colorful flowers in the sky.

The flower smoke was blown away by the wind, and colorful clouds continued to float in the sky above Dongzhou A area.

At night, fireworks burst into life, drawing sparkling patterns over the Firth Gardens with the sound of explosions: crowns, chaplet, diamonds, castles, high heels... luxurious and stunning.

And this is the grand and magnificent romance that Nangong Xianyue prepared for Qiao Yisha alone.

Since then, videos from the "Daytime Fireworks" to the "Night Banquet Fireworks" from Furth Garden have been circulating on the Internet, and this grand confession has gradually reached the eyes of everyone in Dongzhou.

Later, almost everyone knew that this visual feast was created by Nangong Xianyue, the head of the Nangong family, the first family in Dongzhou, for his beloved wife Qiao Yisha.

Hua Ting cried for as long as the fireworks lasted. When the servant asked her why, she cried and said that the smell of the fireworks was too sad and made her very upset. The servant understood and kept silent.

A month later, Joysa was completely unable to walk and the anesthetic had completely lost its effect.

After two months, the duration of blindness increased, and the awake time did not exceed four hours a day.

Three months later, before she could prepare a gift for Nangong Xianyue, she became completely blind and lost the ability to take care of herself.

By early winter, everyone in Falls Garden knew that Joysa was dying.

"You can't go in, sorry." The guard in the main castle area stopped the man in the coat.

Zhu Qingsi's eyes were red. "I just went in to see the Madam. I'll just take a look and come out."

"Sorry, we can't let anyone in without the young master's permission."

Zhu Qingsi yelled towards the main castle area: "Master, Master..."

"If you continue to be so rude, we will be rude to you. Don't disturb the young master and the mistress' rest." the guard warned.

Qiu Yi just came back from the restaurant. Seeing this, he asked about the situation. Zhu Qingsi grabbed him and said, "Mr. Qiu Yi, please talk to the young master for me and let me see her. I have been here so many times. Please let me see her. Tell him that I will just take a look and leave."

Qiu Yi sighed slightly and said nothing.

"It's too late to see you again." Zhu Qingsi suddenly yelled.

"...Wait for me to report." After Qiu Yi said this to him, he walked through the corridor and entered the main castle area.

Qiu Yi gently turned the door of the living room and saw two figures, one sitting and the other half lying down. Nangong Xianyue was feeding Qiao Yisha, but she could only have some liquid food, and she still found it difficult to swallow.

On the wall behind them hung a huge oil painting frame that was as tall as the entire wall.

The painting above shows a portrait of Joysa. She is wearing the white dress she wore on the day of the ball. The skirt is flowing and shining, and her eyebrows are as gentle as a painting.

During this period, not only did Qiao Yisha become extremely skinny, but Nangong Xianyue also lost a lot of weight. He stayed by Qiao Yisha's side and dared not go anywhere, living in fear.

When Qiu Yi saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel sad.

"Master..." He walked closer and called softly.

"Is there something?" Nangong Xianyue put down the cutlery and wiped the corner of Qiao Yisha's mouth with a handkerchief, and replied.

"Mr. Zhu Qingsi is here again. He said he wanted to see the lady."

Nangong Xianyue looked at Qiao Yisha. Qiao Yisha's body was sunken in the soft white quilt, her eyes were half-open weakly, her hair was no longer as black and shiny as before, her rosy and plump cheeks were sunken, her face was dull and she looked haggard.

She shook her head gently, her gray amber pupils empty.

"Yes, that's my refusal." Qiu Yi turned around and was about to leave. Nangong Xianyue said, "Yisha, go meet him."

Say goodbye to your friends properly.

Qiao Yisha didn't say anything. Nangong Xianyue nodded to Qiu Yi, and Qiu Yi understood and walked out.

Zhu Qingsi came up running. When Nangong Xianyue saw him coming, she leaned over and kissed Qiao Yisha on the forehead, "I'm right next to you, you two can talk."

Zhu Qingsi almost didn't recognize the person on the bed. He couldn't believe that the haggard and lifeless person in front of him was his cold, beautiful and powerful sister Isa.

Nangong Xianyue walked up to him and said expressionlessly, "Ten minutes."

Zhu Qingsi stared at Qiao Yisha blankly, unable to say a word. He slowly approached, his voice choked with sobs: "Sister Yisha, why did you hide this from me?"

"You're here." Qiao Yisha said softly.
