The next morning, Liang Ruoxu woke up from another bed and realized that Lin Yi had been staring at her.
This caused Liang Ruoxu to feel embarrassed.
âWhy are you looking at me? Did 1 snore?â
âNot really. 1 just wanted to see you.â
âDonât act nice. Iâm not going to fall for that.â
âLook at you, treating kindness as ill intent. Youâre not romantic at all.â
Liang Ruoxu ignored Lin Yi and got up to stretch.
Although she had been sleeping in the hospital, she had slept exceptionally soundly.
Lin Yi also got up and stretched. âLetâs go out for a walk and get some fresh air.â
âIs there anything wrong with your shoulder?â
âDonât worry, I wonât die.â
âHuh?â
Liang Ruoxu had put on a down jacket and was dressed similarly to An Ning. They were both wearing plush leggings, which made her outfit look classy.
This outfit seemed to be the uniform of northern girls in winter.
After leaving the hospital, Liang Ruoxu took the initiative to hold Lin Yiâs arm. Faint snowflakes floated from the sky and landed on their heads.
When will 1 see the snow in the south? The plum blossoms and I will have white heads?.
This was a rare happy moment for the two of them.
âIâve booked a flight for lunch. 1â11 be leaving at noon,â Liang Ruoxu said.
âYouâve only been here for a day and youâre already leaving?â
âDo you really think Iâm an idler?â Liang Ruoxu said, âThere are still many things waiting for me to deal with in Zhonghai.â
âI thought you could stay a few more days and help me relieve my worries.â
âItâs hard to change your stubbornness. Youâre still so dishonest even when youâre injured,â Liang Ruoxu said.
âIf youâre really worried, go to the bathhouse and get a massage. I wonât mind.â
âYouâre quite generous.â
âLetâs just hurry up and get something to eat. Iâm hungry.â
The two of them quickened their pace and found a relatively clean breakfast shop outside the hospital.
Steamed buns, rice porridge, tea eggs, pickled vegetablesâ¦
The entire breakfast cost less than 30 yuan. It was very economical.
After dinner, the two of them were not in a hurry to go back.
Lin Yi brought Liang Ruoxu to the central street and looked at the ice sculptures and snow sculptures. They were simple things but were still interesting.
Then, he played on an ice slide by the river with her and nearly missed the flight.
Originally, Liang Ruoxu wanted to leave on her own, but she couldnât dissuade Lin Yi from sending her to the airport.
In the past, Liang Ruoxu was always surrounded by people when she went out.
Drivers, secretaries, assistants, and other people who would come and go.
But this time, Lin Yi was the only one by her side. It was like a farewell between a couple.
Slowly, the two of them walked towards the business corridor.
Liang Ruoxu was satisfied, even though she did not stay by Lin Yiâs side for a long time.
But she had given him all her feelings this time.
It was enough.
âCall me when you get off the plane.â
Standing at the entrance of the passage, Lin Yi said to Liang Ruoxu.
âYou too. Recuperate here. After youâre done, hurry up and go to Zhonghai.â
âGot it.â
Liang Ruoxu put down her things and opened her arms.
Lin Yi went forward and hugged her tightly.
Liang Ruoxuâs fair and round chin rested on Lin Yiâs shoulder.
At this moment, Liang Ruoxu was the center of attention.
âTake care of yourself.â
âGot it.â
Lin Yi gently kissed Liang Ruoxuâs forehead. This beautiful scene attracted many peopleâs attention.
This action was only pleasing to the eye when done by a good-looking person.
âLetâs go. Thereâs no need to be so reluctant. Iâll be back in a few days.â Lin Yi patted Liang Ruoxuâs shoulder. âIf you donât get on the plane soon, itâll be dark by the time you return to Zhonghai.â
âYes, Iâm leaving now.â
The two separated. Liang Ruoxu combed her hair and waved at Lin Yi innocently. Then, she turned around and left beautiful and valiantly.
âSister-in-law, when you get home, remember your lines. Make sure my brother doesnât find out.â
Lin Yi shouted from behind, instantly attracting everyoneâs attention. They stood rooted to the spot and stared at the two of them.
Looking at how reluctant the two of them were just now, everyone had thought that they were a couple. They did not expect this duo to be in that kind of relationship!
This⦠this world was too crazy!
Liang Ruoxu turned around abruptly, feeling extremely awkward!
âWhat nonsense are you spouting?!â
âSigh, I forgot. This is a public place. I wonât say anything else. This is our little secret.â
âYou!â
Liang Ruoxu was almost angered to death by Lin Yi, and her delicate face turned red.
She wanted to go back and beat Lin Yi up, but she couldnât. She could only put on her mask and walk out with her head lowered.
After letting Liang Ruoxu experience social awkwardness, Lin Yi took a taxi back to the hospital.
When he returned, he found Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che in his ward, smoking and munching on melon seeds.
âI wonât say anything about the melon seeds. However, Iâm a patient. Itâs not right for me to smoke.â
âIâll open the window so you can enjoy yourself,â Ning Che said with a smile.
âHas Secretary Liang left?â Qiu Yuluo asked.
âI just sent her off.â
âThereâs news from Boss Liu.â Ning Che said.
âThe Wang family seems to have brought Wang Mian back into the country. They even found a doctor from Meiguo, but 1 heard that the chances are slim.â
âIâm a doctor myself. Do you think 1 would give him a chance?â Lin Yi said.
âBut other than that, there doesnât seem to be any movement from the Wang family.â Ning Che shrugged and said.
âIâm a little puzzled. Other than them sending Wang Mian back, thereâs no other movement from the Wang family. Itâs as if nothing happened.â
âWang Family isnât stupid, they can guess how powerful Lin Yi is, and they were the ones initially in the wrong. Would they just let it go?â Qiu Yuluo said another possibility.
âThere are no good people among the rich and powerful,â Ning Che said.
âIf the Wang family really thinks that way, they would never have been able to climb up to such a high position. Ninety-nine percent of the people in this circle are unclean. Thereâs no way they would just give up.â
âI agree with Ning Che,â Lin Yi said.
âNot only did 1 break Wang Mianâs leg, but 1 also stole the familyâs business. If they donât pursue this matter, they will definitely become a laughing stock in the upper circle. In the future, if anyone else dares to step on them, the Wang family will decline at a visible speed. Therefore, no matter what, they will retaliate.â
âBut up until now, thereâs been no movement at all. It makes me feel uneasy.â
âThis is the calm before the storm. They also know that behind me, there is the Liang family and Lu Beichen; they also know the influence I have within the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. If they act recklessly, the ones who will ultimately suffer are the Wang family. So, they need to be cautious in their actions.â
Lin Yi lay on the bed with his hands behind his head.
âI think the Wang family will stay quiet for a while in the future, but the longer they stay quiet, the worse it will be for us.â
