Chapter 1260 He Needs to Be Needed

Feng Wu only snorted inwardly. She couldn’t care less about Feng Liu’s baby, but if Feng Liu died today, people would blame her for it.

And when that happened, Zuo Qingyu’s plan would have worked, and no one would believe Feng Wu.

At that thought, Feng Wu narrowed her eyes and warned Master Gu, “I hope your diagnosis will withstand my scrutiny.”

“You — You —” Master Gu was so angry that his beard bristled.

Feng Wu ignored him and quickly went into the bedchamber.

She was very familiar with the room, because she used to sleep here for years. However, the layout and decorations had completely changed by now.

Feng Liu lay on the big bed. Her pale face was covered in a cold sweat, and her breathing was so weak that one could barely detect it.

Dugu Mengxi sat next to the bed and held her hand tightly. The rims of his eyes were red, and it was obvious that he had been crying.

Apart from Dugu Mengxi, two other fiercing-looking old maids were in the room as well.

One was Granny Sun, Feng Liu’s old wet nurse, and the other was Granny Chang, Dugu Mengxi’s old maid.

Dugu Mengxi turned around when he heard the footsteps and immediately saw Feng Wu.

He immediately flared up and trembled with anger.

“How dare you come here?! How dare you!” Dugu Mengxi glared at Feng Wu and pointed at the door. “You’re not welcome here. Go away! Now!”

Feng Wu wasn’t alone. Seeing his reaction, Chaoge and Qiuling immediately blocked Dugu Mengxi’s way.

Chaoge frowned and was furious. “Watch your attitude! You can’t talk to Xiao Wu like that!”

Dugu Mengxi was so furious that he laughed. He then tried to push Feng Wu out of the room.

However —

Chaoge pushed him first.

Crash —

Dugu Mengxi fell backward and landed on his back. The pain made him suck in his breath.

“Damn it! Granny Chang, kill her!”

Dugu Mengxi was no fighter, but Granny Chang was relentless. However, Feng Wu spoke before the granny could make a move.

“Do you hate Feng Liu that much?”

What?

Those words baffled Dugu Mengxi at first, but he immediately realized what she had said, and glared at her. “Bullsh*t! Of course I don’t hate her! I love her more than my own life!”

Feng Wu glanced at him. “If that’s the case, why do you want to see her dead? That’s the first time I’ve ever heard someone demonstrating their love that way.”

“Why would I want her dead? You’re not making any sense! This is pure slander!” Dugu Mengxi yelled at Feng Wu.

Feng Wu smiled. “I can save Feng Liu, but you’re telling me to go away. If I do that, she’ll die.”

“You can save her? Hahaha!” Dugu Mengxi’s eyes were bloodshot red with rage. “You’ve been bullying her since you were little. You took everything from her, and you’re the reason she’s lying here. But now, you’re telling me that you can save her? That’s just preposterous!”

Feng Wu finally saw why Dugu Mengxi loved Feng Liu so much.

Feng Liu had definitely been playing the helpless bunny around Dugu Mengxi, making him want to protect her with all his might.

Dugu Mengxi’s older sister and brother were both distinguished figures, and he had always been the one protected. Only around Feng Liu did he feel like the tough man he had always wanted to be. As a matter of fact, he needed Feng Liu more than she did him, because she made him feel that he was needed.
