A Star Reborn: The Queen’s Return

Chapter 833: Underground Hive

Li Lei gently hugged her. “Don’t worry, I’m here.”

Xia Ling also wrapped her hands around his waist and nodded. The things that happened tonight were too strange. Xia Ling quickly called her family. “Brother, a person called Wei Lingnan…”

She told him everything about how Wei Lingnan came to visit her and asked to be her matchmaker.

After listening to her, Xia Moyan’s cold voice was a little serious. “Xiao Ling, you must be careful around this person. He is the most dangerous person in the world. Even with the Xia Family’s protection, he may be the only one who can potentially hurt you.”

Xia Ling did not think that the situation was so serious. “How scary is he, exactly?”

Xia Moyan was silent for a moment before saying, “Perhaps, in this world, he shouldn’t even be… living.” Whether intentionally or not, Xia Moyan did not use the word “person.”

Xia Ling was terrified. “What should I do then?”

“Stay away from him and just focus on living your life. Although he is very dangerous, he still doesn’t have the ability to harm our family. As long as we don’t drive him into a corner, he won’t ever think of making things difficult for you. In the best-case scenario, he would just fight to his death.”

Her brother’s worlds slightly calmed Xia Ling down.

She stopped thinking about Wei Lingnan’s identity. No matter what, her family had her back. She asked, “In that case, should we let him be our matchmaker?”

“Let him come.” Xia Moyan already made up his mind. “Otherwise, he won’t give up.”

Xia Ling acknowledged. After hesitating for a moment, she asked her brother about the medicine that Wei Lingnan gave her.

Xia Moyan said, “For many years, the Xia Family has been monitoring Wei Lingnan. This man is very goal-oriented and won’t hurt others for no reason. Besides, he has no reason to be enemies with the Xia Family. He won’t hurt you. However, we may be wrong. I don’t recommend that you drink the medicine. I care more about your life and health than your ability to have children in the future.” He was still worried that there may be something wrong with the medicine and could not afford any mishaps.

Xia Ling replied, “I’ve got it. Thank you, brother.”

She hung up the phone and was deep in thought.

Li Lei asked, “What did your brother say?”

Xia Ling looked at the small bottle in her hand. The mysterious blue liquid shimmered in the starlight in a life-like way. It was hauntingly beautiful. Was this poison or an antidote?

She did not know.

Suddenly, she lifted her head and asked Li Lei, “If I die, will you remarry?”

“What rubbish are you talking about?” Li Lei thought it was ridiculous. “Why are you suddenly saying these inauspicious things? If you die, I will die with you. In the next life, we can be husband and wife again.”

“We haven’t even married yet.” Xia Ling was humored by him.

“Well then, why did you ask me if I would remarry?” Li Lei pinched her nose and looked curiously at the item in her hand. “What’s that?”

“A cocktail.” Xia Ling responded. She unscrewed the cap and drank the liquid.

She thought about it clearly. She wanted to give birth to a few more children for Li Lei. She wanted boys, girls, and more grandchildren when she was older. If she had to take this risk, she was willing.

Li Lei grabbed the empty bottle from her hand and smelled it. There was a sour and sweet scent. “How is this a cocktail? Xiao Ling, what exactly is this?”

Xia Ling’s expression could not fool him. She finally said, “It’s a gift from Wei Lingnan. He said that it will benefit my health if I drink it. I’ve asked my brother and he said that it’s not dangerous.”

The color was drained from Li Lei’s face. “How can you drink something Wei Lingnan gave you so casually? Even if your brother says it’s not dangerous, you can’t! Come with me.” He pulled her as he ran to his car and drove to the hospital.

When they arrived at the hospital, he looked for an expert to give her a comprehensive physical examination. After a long time, the inspection report came out and everything was normal.

Only then did Li Lei sigh in relief and warned her. “If you ever randomly eat things again, I will…”

“What will you do?” Xia Ling looked at him innocently.

“I will…” Li Lei thought about it but could not find any way to threaten her. He finally said, “I will tell your dad!”

Xia Ling fell silent. Even the doctors beside them were quiet. Second Young Master Li, could you be any more childish?

She nodded insincerely. “In the future, I won’t eat random things anymore.” She turned around and asked the doctor, “In the past, my abdomen was injured and the doctor said I can’t ever get pregnant again. Can you help me check what the situation is like now? I’ve always had some hope in my heart that it will heal after a long time.”

The doctor looked at the report. “I can’t see that it has ever been hurt before, Miss Ling. We can give you a more detailed check on your fertility.”

This time, the results of the inspection came out very quickly. “Miss Ling, you’re really healthy and can give birth to a baby at any time.”

Although Xia Ling was waiting for a miracle, when the miracle really happened, she felt that she was in a dream. “Really? That’s amazing! Li Lei, did you hear that? We can have a child again!”

She smiled through her tears and hugged Li Lei.

When Li Lei hugged her back, suddenly, he realized why she drank that bottle of medicine. She was not ignorant or afraid of danger, she just wanted to have more children with him.

There was a burst of warmth in his heart. He hugged her tighter. “Silly girl, how is a child more important than you?”

A false alarmed was turned into good news. The two of them were immersed in happiness. Li Lei entrusted Wei Lingnan to be their matchmaker with no hesitation.

The two families had already acknowledged the marriage. The matchmaker was just for ceremonial purposes. Very quickly, Wei Lingnan finished his task.

No one knew what he learned from the Xia Family, but he seemed to be in a good mood. He even asked Wei Shaoyin to give two more bottles of medicine to Xia Ling and Li Lei. “One bottle is an aphrodisiac.” Wei Shaoyin gave them the bottle in disdain. “Another bottle is also an aphrodisiac. Boss, since when did you start underperforming?”

Xia Ling’s face turned red. Resisting her laughter, she ran away.

Big Boss Li’s expression darkened. He threw the two bottles back to Wei Shaoyin. “I’m doing really well! You can use these yourself, don’t thank me!” After that, he chased after Xia Ling to give her an explanation.

Wei Shaoyin looked at his back view in even more disgust. He mumbled to himself, “How dare he reject the Wei Family’s new medicine. He can’t even buy it on the black market!” He really kept them and decided to give them away to someone else.

The Wei Family headquarters.

Deep in the honeycomb-structured base 300 meters underground, the corridors were built by rare alloys and strictly guarded. On both sides of the corridor, there were glass rooms. Some of them were filled with formalin, some housed monsters that could not be named, and some had busy workers who were dressed in white coats.

Wei Lingnan walked to the deepest part of the corridor and opened a door.

“Xia Yu.” He called the name of the girl who was inside.
