The President’s Man - Chapter 379

Xiao Lei gasped when the man suddenly blurred out from her vision, and when she looked to the side, she saw the man being tackled by an unknown man who had a cap on backward.

KER-PLANGG!!!

Xiao Lei winced when the glass wall of the convenience store broke into a thousand pieces when the two men fell onto it.

SCREEEECH!!!

HONK!!!

There were a lot of sounds coming from around Xiao Lei at the moment, but she was too occupied to pay attention to any of them.

“Xiao Lei!”

Upon hearing her name, Xiao Lei turned only to see two men rushing toward her. Her eyes were on the man who was dashing across the street, overtaking the other much older man, with a worried expression. She then watched as he pulled her into a hug before quickly distancing themselves.

“Are you alright?” he asked nervously as he checked her from top to bottom. When she did not reply, he cupped her face with both hands as he asked softly, “Xiao Lei, Xiao Lei… Are you alright?”

Xiao Lei slowly nodded as she looked into his anxious eyes. She had rarely seen him with such an expression before. “Han Ye, I… I’m fine…” she mumbled, yet her hands were trembling slightly as she reached up to grab his shirt. When she looked down at the knife that was now on the floor, she remembered how scared she was when she thought about how she might never see her son or Han Ye anymore… and how the two lives in her might never come onto this world.

And when she thought about all these, she could not help but shiver slightly as she protectively placed one of her hands on her lower belly.

“Don’t look!” Han Ye turned her face slightly away from the knife and kissed her lips, hoping to take her attention off what had almost happened. And he succeeded, for Xiao Lei soon calmed down when she felt his lips upon hers. When Han Ye felt Xiao Lei’s grip on his shirt loosen, he pulled back slightly and whispered, “Just look at me, don’t look at anything else…”

Xiao Lei nodded.

“Is she alright?” Another male voice suddenly came from behind Han Ye, and the two immediately turned to look at the person. It was Fan Shaohang who had just arrived. The moment he heard that someone was being attacked opposite, he left the restaurant to take a look. That was when he saw Assistant Yoon sitting outside the restaurant with a pale expression.

That was when he had a bad feeling, and when he looked across the street and saw Xiao Lei in danger, he immediately rushed over. But before he could do so, a young, muscular man in black ran past him and straight toward Xiao Lei.

As Fan Shaohang was crossing the street, a car suddenly stopped in the middle of the pedestrian crossing, and Han Ye got out of the car. Without a care for his life, the younger man just ran across the street. It was a good thing that it was late at night and it was a weekday, so there weren’t that many cars on the street.

With sweat trickling down his forehead, Fan Shaohang looked at the knife on the ground. His heart was still beating fast from what he saw earlier, when he thought that no one would be able to reach her in time. He had just found his lost niece, and he promised his brother and sister-in-law that he would definitely protect her this time; if he were to lose her now, he would be too ashamed to face them in the afterlife.

He then looked at the two lovebirds and asked again, “Is she alright? Did she hurt herself?”

“Erm… Yeah, she’s fine…” Han Ye replied for Xiao Lei as he stepped aside, blocking Xiao Lei’s view of the knife, and placed his arm around her waist. “Maybe a little shocked…”

Fan Shaohang nodded in relief, and that was when he noticed that Xiao Lei’s hand was placed on her lower belly. When she saw that he was looking at her belly, Xiao Lei immediately put her hand down.

“Could it be… she’s pregnant?” he thought as he looked up at Xiao Lei with his eyes slightly widened. He then thought about how she rejected the alcohol and barely ate anything earlier. He had seen her at the film site; she was always eating in between filming, but earlier, she barely touched her food.

He wanted to ask, but he doubted that Xiao Lei would actually admit it to him.

“M-maybe take her to rest now…” Fan Shaohang said as he glanced at the broken window. The attacker was now being pinned to the ground by the man who slammed his body against him.

Han Ye nodded. However, before that, he looked at the two men on the ground and said, “You nearly put Ms. Xiao in danger! Where the hell were you?! You were supposed to be her guard!”

The man, who was now pinning the other man down, apologized as blood trickled down his arm, “I’m sorry, Mr. Han. I would accept any punishment.”

He was cut by the broken glasses earlier when he fell, but it was as if he felt nothing at all.

Xiao Lei looked at the bleeding man who saved her life, then back at Han Ye. She finally made the connection. “Is he…?”

“He’s a guard I put around you,” Han Ye admitted. “He should have known better than to let you alone. And where’s Assistant Yoon? Why isn’t she with you?”

Xiao Lei gasped when she finally remembered her drunk assistant. “She drank too much because of me, so I left her outside the restaurant!”

She then tried to move when she suddenly cried out softly, “Damn…”

“What’s wrong?” Han Ye and Fan Shaohang asked in unison.

“I twisted my ankle…” Xiao Lei mumbled as she glanced down at her hurt foot. She didn’t pay attention to it earlier due to the shock, but now that she calmed down, she could feel the pain. “It… hurt…”

Han Ye knelt on a knee as he looked at her ankle. Then, without any warning, he stood up and carried her in princess-style.

“Argh!” Xiao Lei yelped out from his sudden movement. “Han Ye, I can walk!” she hissed. “Let me down! We are in public!”

“Why? Everyone already knew that we are together anyway!” Han Ye said as he looked at the people who were watching them with their phones out. Right now, he just wanted to make sure that his lover was fine instead of caring about what people would think of them.

With a cold gaze, he then looked at his bleeding man and said sharply, “I’ll deal with you later. Get all the information you can get out of that b*stard before giving him over to the cops! And fix that wound! I want a report by tomorrow morning!”

“Yes, sir!” the man said without so much as a change of expression on his face.

Han Ye then nodded at Fan Shaohang before taking Xiao Lei to the car. He completely ignored the trouble he had caused to the other users of the road and their curses as well. Once he placed Xiao Lei at the passenger seat, she said nervously, “What about Assistant Yoon? We can’t leave her!”

“I’m not leaving her out, what kind of a man do you think I am?” Han Ye said as he put on the seatbelt on her. He then quickly closed the door, went over to the driver seat, sat down, and drove the car to the side before parking it about a hundred meters away from the restaurant.

He then looked at Xiao Lei and said, “Stay here for a while and lock the door when I’m gone. I’ll bring Assistant Yoon over.”

Xiao Lei nodded.

Han Ye then got down of the car, and he made sure that Xiao Lei had locked the door before running over to the restaurant to pick up Assistant Yoon.
