Chapter 317 Life-saving grace
After watching Xiao Xian leave, only Deadpool and Vanessa were left in the room. Deadpool’s expression looked a little gloomy, and he couldn’t help but ask in reproach, “Vanessa, why did you sit so close to Xiao Xian just now?”

Vanessa frowned slightly when she heard this, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone: “Wade, there is nothing innocent between us, you are too sensitive. Don’t you believe me? Or do you think I will cheat?”

Deadpool shook his head helplessly, feeling jealous and uneasy. “It’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s just that you two are sitting so close to each other, which makes me uncomfortable.”

Vanessa sighed and tried to explain, “I just want this opportunity. Xiao Xian is a superstar. A movie starring him will definitely be a hit. This is the opportunity I’ve always dreamed of. There’s really nothing between him and me. You have to believe me. I love you.”

Deadpool looked at Vanessa, feeling both uneasy and apologetic. Deadpool’s jealousy and worry made it hard for him to let go, but Deadpool couldn’t be too petty or not trust Vanessa.

After a moment of silence, Deadpool took a deep breath and said slowly: “Okay, I believe you. But I hope you can understand my feelings.”

Vanessa approached Deadpool, gently held his hand, and said softly: “I understand your concerns and thank you for your support. I will cherish this opportunity, but I will always remember that you are my husband. Xiao Xian and I are just colleagues.”

Deadpool felt a little more at ease. He nodded, with a hint of apology and love in his eyes: “I’m sorry, Vanessa, I just care about you too much.”

Vanessa smiled and gave Deadpool a gentle hug, “I know, Wade. Me too.”

The two hugged each other tightly, as if they wanted to drive away all the uneasiness and worries. Suddenly, Deadpool let go of Vanessa and his expression became serious: “Hurry, hide!”

Just as Vanessa was about to ask Deadpool what happened, she saw a group of armed mercenaries rushing in. Her heart tightened, and she quickly ran to the bedroom and hid inside.

Deadpool drew the double swords from his back, looked cold in the eyes, and rushed towards the mercenaries.

The mercenaries immediately opened fire, and bullets rained down on Deadpool. Deadpool slashed with his knives, and the two knives danced like water, cutting off the bullets flying towards him one by one. The knife flashed, and the sound of metal collisions came one after another. Deadpool gradually approached the enemy with the cover of the two knives.

However, after a few seconds of chopping, Deadpool felt something was wrong. His movements were obviously much slower, his muscles became heavy, and his head began to feel dizzy.

As the speed decreased, multiple bullets hit Deadpool’s body, and blood spurted out. Deadpool gritted his teeth and tried to continue fighting, but his body felt more and more powerless. His vision began to blur, and the enemy in front of him became unclear. Finally, his body could no longer support himself, his legs softened, and he stumbled to the ground.

The leader of the mercenaries stepped forward, stepped on Deadpool’s head, sneered and said

“You stupid mutant who only knows how to rely on your abilities, do you know what we are using? This is a special anesthetic bullet, designed specifically for mutants like you who have strong self-healing abilities. Your act of cutting the bullet will only increase the level of anesthetic in the air, and you can be anesthetized without being hit.”

Deadpool struggled to get up, but his body was completely out of control. His vision gradually blurred, and all he could hear was his own rapid breathing and the mercenary’s sneer.

At this moment, two mercenaries rushed into the bedroom and dragged Vanessa out. She struggled desperately, her eyes full of fear and anger, but she was helplessly held by the mercenaries. A mercenary soldier looked at Vanessa obscenely and asked the leader: “Captain, there is a woman here, how to deal with it?”

The mercenary leader sneered at Vanessa and said, “The company’s requirement is to silence the witnesses. If Deadpool can’t kill her, take her back to the laboratory. Of course, this woman must be killed. But before killing her, you can have some fun. I’ll go first, and then you can all come together to save time.”

Several mercenaries smiled obscenely upon hearing this, and held Vanessa’s hands and feet expectantly. The mercenary leader slowly walked towards Vanessa, unbuckling his belt as he walked, his eyes full of evil.

Deadpool looked at this scene angrily, with endless rage burning in his eyes, but his body was bound by anesthetics and he could not move. He could only let out angry groans.

Vanessa looked at the mercenary leader with horror on her face and trembled as she said, “Xiao Xian has chosen me as the heroine of his new movie. You dare to attack me? Are you going to die?”

The mercenary leader sneered disdainfully: “Xiao Xian won’t know it was me. And what’s wrong with that guy Xiao Xian? Others may be afraid of him, but I am not. I dare to say this even in front of him.”

Just then, a faint voice came from behind: “Really?”

The mercenary leader was stunned for a moment. He turned around and saw Xiao Xian leaning against the door. He looked at him with a smile on his face and said calmly, “Say it again in front of me.”

The mercenary leader froze, his face turned pale, and he immediately knelt down, kowtowed and begged for mercy: “Mr. Xiao Xian, I just said something outrageous, I hope you will be magnanimous and let me go!”

When the other mercenaries saw Xiao Xian appear, they were so scared that they immediately let go of Vanessa and knelt on the ground, begging for mercy in horror.

When Vanessa saw Xiao Xian, little stars twinkled in her eyes. She stood up and threw herself into Xiao Xian’s arms, crying, “Luckily you came. I was so scared. Wuuuuu~ Save me.”

Xiao Xian gently touched Vanessa’s hair and comforted her: “Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, I’m here.”

Deadpool, lying on the ground, watched Vanessa throw herself into Xiao Xian’s arms, and felt jealous. However, when he saw Vanessa being rescued, his heart finally relaxed. He could no longer resist the effect of the anesthetic, and his eyes went dark and he passed out.

Xiao Xian glanced at the unconscious Deadpool, then turned to the mercenaries who were kneeling on the ground begging for mercy. He snapped his fingers lightly, and the mercenaries disappeared instantly.

“I’ve sent them to hell. However, in order not to dirty your floor, I threw the bodies in Neon.” Xiao Xian said lightly with a playful smile on his lips.

Vanessa’s eyes sparkled with admiration. Her face was a little pale because of the shock she had just experienced, but the fire in her eyes was unusually bright: “Xiao Xian, I really don’t know how to thank you.”

Xiao Xian reached out and gently stroked Vanessa’s cheek and said, “Just make a good movie for the two of us.” Xiao Xian’s voice was low and magnetic, and seemed to carry an irresistible force.

Vanessa glanced at the unconscious Deadpool and confirmed that he was really unconscious. Then she turned around and deliberately moved her body close to Xiao Xian. She said seductively, “We play the male and female protagonists in the movie. There will be some large-scale scenes, right?” There was a hint of teasing in her eyes.

Xiao Xian smiled slightly and responded in a low voice: “Yes, there are some.”

Vanessa took a step closer and could almost feel Xiao Xian’s breath. She whispered, “In order to better shoot the movie, maybe we can practice ahead of time.”

Xiao Xian raised his eyebrows and glanced at the unconscious Deadpool, with a teasing smile on his face: “Aren’t you afraid that Deadpool will suddenly wake up?”

Vanessa said without hesitation: “I can divorce him for you.” Her voice was firm, as if she had made up her mind.

Xiao Xian shook his head and smiled: “No, no, no, it’s better if you don’t divorce him. I think it’s quite interesting.”

Hearing this, Vanessa patted Xiao Xian’s chest and said, “You are so bad.” Then Vanessa gently stroked the wedding ring on her hand and said with a blushing face, “I like it so much~”

Vanessa’s heart was burning with passion. She took Xiao Xian’s hand and walked towards the bedroom impatiently. But Xiao Xian stood there, smiled and pulled Vanessa back into his arms, whispering, “It’s better here.”

Vanessa glanced at the unconscious Deadpool on the ground, then turned to look at Xiao Xian, her eyes flashing with deep love as she said, “As long as you like, anywhere is fine.”

There was a hint of teasing in Xiao Xian’s eyes. He asked in a low voice: “Anywhere?”

Vanessa approached Xiao Xian seductively and whispered, “Anywhere, I mean anywhere. As long as you like, even the TV station’s studio is fine with me.”

Xiao Xian smiled slightly, and gently stroked Vanessa’s cheek with his fingers, feeling the warmth of her skin. “You are really hard to resist.”

Vanessa’s cheeks flushed slightly, but her eyes remained firm. She leaned close to Xiao Xian’s ear and whispered, “Then don’t reject me.”

Deadpool slowly woke up in a daze, feeling sore and weak all over. He found himself lying on the bed in the bedroom, his limbs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead. He tried to get up, but found that the anesthetic was still taking effect and he couldn’t move at all.

He called out weakly: “Vanessa… Vanessa…” However, the room was silent and there was no response. Deadpool was panicked, worried that something had happened to Vanessa, and his voice became more urgent: “Vanessa! Vanessa!”

He called out several times, and finally heard Vanessa’s response: “Here I come.”

Half a minute later, Vanessa walked into the room. She was wearing a black low-cut dress with black stockings, elegant and sexy. Her face was ruddy, with a few beads of sweat on her forehead and cheeks. She walked in a somewhat awkward manner, as if she was injured, and even needed to hold on to the wall to stand steadily.

Vanessa’s hair was a little messy, and the tight black low-cut dress outlined her graceful curves, and the fullness of her chest was about to burst out. Black stockings wrapped around her slender legs, and a pair of high heels on her feet added a bit of temptation.

Deadpool saw Vanessa’s appearance and asked in confusion and fear: “Vanessa, why did you change your clothes? And what happened to your legs?”

Vanessa looked a little flustered. She lowered her head slightly and explained awkwardly, “My clothes were soiled by the mercenaries just now, so I changed into this one. As for my legs, they were injured by the mercenaries just now, so I can’t stand steadily.”

Although Deadpool was confused, he couldn’t ask too much, so he just nodded and asked, “Have the mercenaries been dealt with?”

Vanessa smiled and replied, “Xiao Xian has helped solve it.”

Deadpool was silent after hearing this, with all kinds of emotions surging in his heart. He wanted to ask Vanessa why she threw herself into Xiao Xian’s arms, but he didn’t dare to speak. He told himself that Vanessa was almost killed at that time, and Xiao Xian came to the rescue. Vanessa’s behavior of throwing herself into Xiao Xian’s arms was not considered cheating, but she was just scared.

However, Deadpool still felt uneasy, wondering if there was anything else that he didn’t know about. Deadpool wanted to ask, but was afraid that the answer would break his heart. He was worried that once he asked, his relationship with Vanessa would come to an end.

Perhaps it is only when you are close to losing something that you know how to cherish it. Now Deadpool’s love for Vanessa has increased a lot more than before, and he is very afraid of losing her. Deadpool looked at Vanessa and deceived himself into thinking that he was just worrying too much.

Vanessa looked at the silent Xiao Xian and asked softly, “Wade, in order to repay Xiao Xian for saving my life, I invite him to have dinner with me tonight. Do you mind?”

Deadpool smiled magnanimously, shook his head and said, “How is that possible? If it weren’t for Xiao Xian, you would have been hurt by those guys. I can’t even thank him in time.”

Hearing this, Vanessa breathed a sigh of relief and smiled easily: “Great, then I’ll continue cooking.”

Deadpool nodded: “Go ahead.”

Vanessa stood up and turned to leave. Deadpool’s eyes fell on her back and found that the buttons of her clothes were not buttoned. He quickly reminded her: “Vanessa, the buttons of your clothes are not buttoned.”

Vanessa blushed and looked a little embarrassed. She hurriedly explained, “Oh, I didn’t notice it when I was changing clothes just now. Thank you for reminding me.” She hurriedly adjusted her clothes, looking a little flustered.

A hint of doubt arose in Deadpool’s heart, but he did not continue to ask. He just watched Vanessa limping out of the room, holding on to the wall.

Vanessa walked out of the room and said to Xiao Xian in a charming manner, “Wade seems unable to get up for the time being. We can continue to practice the important scenes.”

Xiao Xian glanced around the room and said, “Will Deadpool be able to tell something is wrong?”

Vanessa smiled with a sly gleam in her eyes: “This is easy.” Then she walked to the TV, turned it on, and turned the volume up to maximum.

Deadpool in the room heard the loud volume of the TV and couldn’t stand it. He raised his head and shouted weakly: “Vanessa! Vanessa!”

A moment later, Vanessa half-poked her head out from the door frame, sweating and panting, and asked, “What’s wrong, Wade?”

Deadpool frowned and asked, “Why is the TV so loud?”

Vanessa pretended to be helpless and said, “So that I can hear the TV program clearly while cooking. If you think it’s too noisy, I’ll turn it down.”

Deadpool shook his head repeatedly: “No, you’ve worked hard cooking.” He saw Vanessa sweating profusely, and couldn’t help but ask with concern: “Vanessa, why are you sweating so much?”

“Hiss~” Vanessa hissed and took a breath of cold air, looking very depressed: “It’s too hot to cook.”

Deadpool frowned when he heard this: “What’s wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?”

Vanessa said quickly, “It hurts a little where the mercenaries hit me. I’ll go apply some medicine and then continue cooking.”

Before Deadpool could say anything else, Vanessa had already retracted her head.
