"Sis, why do you always threaten me with our parents?"
Xiao Mu silently criticized, if it weren’t for bringing them up, who could control you, this little devil?
Xiao Mu thought about all the troubles Ouyang Hao had caused over the years, and anger surged within him. And now, as if it wasn’t enough, he hadn’t yet cleared up the mess between him and Lin Yixun, beat up a journalist in front of everyone, and even openly confessed to that assistant!
The more Xiao Mu thought about it, the angrier he got, and his tone grew harsher. "What do you think you’re doing? Do you think you’re in a drama? Even in a drama, you should at least find a good-looking female lead, right? What kind of spell did that maid cast on you to make you so obsessed?"
As soon as Lin Yixun was mentioned, Ouyang Hao’s expression turned serious. "Sis, this is between Lin Yixun and me. Don’t interfere."
"Do you think I like meddling in your messes?" Xiao Mu raged. "Anyway, Ouyang Hao, I’m telling you, you deal with this yourself this time. Don’t wait for me to clean up your mess! Also, let me remind you, with all the fuss you made today, it’s hard to believe Dad won’t hear some rumors. Not to mention Lin Yixun’s appearance, just her past scandals alone would never allow her to step into the Ouyang Family!"
Ouyang Hao’s eyes darkened. He naturally knew this, which was why he had been on and off with Lin Yixun initially. But now that he was sure, he would find ways to overcome the obstacles ahead.
Perhaps because of the medication, Lin Yixun slept exceptionally deeply. It was the sunlight that woke her up, and when she opened her eyes, she found she could see her surroundings again.
Lin Yixun couldn’t help but feel a weight lifted from her heart. Thankfully, her eyes were fine; otherwise, her mother would be so heartbroken.
Since her eyes were fine, Lin Yixun naturally wouldn’t stay long in Ouyang Hao’s apartment.
Although Ouyang Hao had suddenly appeared when she was utterly helpless yesterday, and although what he said touched her deeply, in the end, emotion was defeated by reality.
When she left the master bedroom, she unexpectedly ran into Ouyang Hao, who was holding breakfast, with milk and toast, as if he had been waiting at the door for a while.
"You’re awake?" Seeing Lin Yixun and her no longer vacant eyes, Ouyang Hao was overjoyed. "You can see again? It seems my childhood friend does have some skills. Otherwise, a Harvard PhD would be a disgrace."
Lin Yixun looked at him. In the sunlight, his usual roguish demeanor was gone, and he smiled like a child, so beautifully it made her heart ache. She forced herself to look away, lowered her eyes, and nodded.
"Mr. Ouyang, I’m sorry for troubling you yesterday. I have something to do, I’ll be going now."
"At least have breakfast before you go? You hardly ate yesterday."
"No, thank you." Lin Yixun sidestepped him, intending to leave.
Ouyang Hao grabbed her and looked at her thin face, his voice deepening. "In such a hurry? Not even time for breakfast? Lin Yixun, are you really this busy, or are you avoiding me?"
Ouyang Hao’s words struck a chord in Lin Yixun’s heart. She suddenly looked up, a faint indifferent smile on her pale face. "Mr. Ouyang, why do we have to make things clear? We could have stayed out of each other’s way."
"What do you mean by ’stay out of each other’s way?’ Lin Yixun, what does staying out of each other’s way mean to you?"
"What do you think it means, Mr. Ouyang?" Lin Yixun smiled, her voice low. "Mr. Ouyang, we shouldn’t be involved."
"Shouldn’t be involved?" Ouyang Hao let out a cold laugh, raised his hand, and threw the tray down, spilling the milk and toast all over. He pulled Lin Yixun close, his eyes fixed on her. "What if I insist? Lin Yixun, did you think the things I said in front of those journalists yesterday were just empty words?"
