Lin Yixun glared fiercely at Ouyang Hao, but reluctantly reached out her hand to take the Blue Demoness. Ouyang Hao’s face was too attention-grabbing; her life had finally regained some peace, and she didn’t want any more upheavals.
The threat worked. Ouyang Hao smiled smugly, wrapped his arm around Lin Yixun’s shoulder, and began walking towards the ward. Naturally, Lin Yixun was unwilling; her mother was in the ward, and if she found out about Ouyang Hao’s presence, who knew what kind of trouble would arise.
"Ouyang Hao, if you have something to say, we can talk here."
"Do you really want to talk here?" Ouyang Hao squinted his eyes, looking at her with a half-smile.
Lin Yixun’s scalp tingled under Ouyang Hao’s gaze. In frustration, she whispered, "Ouyang Hao, could you not be , please?"
Ouyang Hao squinted his eyes, a flicker of coldness flashing in his eyes but disappearing in an instant. He then grinned cheekily, "What do you mean ? Do I look scary right now? You’re overthinking. I’m not here for you today; I’m here to visit your mother."
Lin Yixun froze. Was Ouyang Hao really at the hospital to see her mother?
Seeing Lin Yixun staring at him suspiciously, Ouyang Hao lifted the tonic he was holding and showed it to her, "See, I’m not lying to you, right?"
With that, Ouyang Hao pushed Lin Yixun aside and walked into the ward where Lin’s mother was.
Though Ouyang Hao had helped last time when Lin’s mother fell ill, she was unconscious at the time and hadn’t seen him in person. So, when Lin’s mother saw Ouyang Hao walking into the ward with the tonic, she couldn’t help but be a little surprised.
"Hello, Auntie! I’m Yixun’s friend. I heard you were hospitalized, so I happened to be passing by and thought I’d drop in to see you. This is our first meeting, so I wasn’t sure what you needed, so I bought some nutritional products. I hope you recover soon."
Although Ouyang Hao was usually arrogant and overbearing, he was excellent at charming people. Whether they were three-year-olds or eighty-year-olds, as long as he wanted to, he could make them his loyal "fans."
Sure enough, he didn’t stay in the ward with Lin’s mother for even half an hour before leaving a very good impression on her. Once Ouyang Hao left, Lin Yixun naturally couldn’t avoid being questioned by her mother.
"Xiao Xun, what do you think of this Xiao Ou?"
"What do you mean nothing much? I think he’s quite good—he looks bright and sunny, is polite, and most importantly, while he was talking to me, he kept glancing at you."
"Mom, what are you talking about! It’s impossible between him and me."
Lin’s mother, knowing her daughter’s concerns, couldn’t help but feel heartache for her, "Xiao Xun, the past is in the past. It’s time to let it go. If Xing Yi were still here, he wouldn’t want to see you . Child, you’re still young, and your life has just begun. Even if you’ve been divorced and had a messy past, those are behind you, and they shouldn’t be a burden for your future."
Lin Yixun fell silent. Even her mother was persuading her not to be burdened by the past and to let it go. But could she really put down the past and face the future bravely?
Did she still deserve this? Even if she mustered the courage to be with Ouyang Hao, would she have the courage to face the gossip and stay with him?
