"Why?" Xiao Mu looked at her in confusion. Didn’t she come here just to see Ouyang Hao?
Lin Yixun lowered her gaze and gave a bitter smile, "Miss Xiao is right, since I’m not sincere about being with Ouyang Hao, it’s best to end it early."
Saying this, she took out a delicate little box from her bag and handed it to Xiao Mu, "Please, Miss Xiao, return this to Ouyang Hao. Tell him... tell him that I’m not suited for this, and that he should find a more suitable owner for the bracelet in the future."
Lin Yixun stiffly tugged at the corners of her lips and murmured, "From now on... I won’t appear in front of Ouyang Hao again. Also, please tell him not to come looking for me anymore."
Something seemed to be stuck in her throat, making every word she spoke excruciatingly painful, but Lin Yixun said everything she needed to say. Through the glass door, she cast a deep glance at the still unconscious Ouyang Hao on the hospital bed, then turned around slowly and walked away, step by step.
Lin Yixun stepped out of the Affiliated First Hospital, only to see the car that Old He often drove at the hospital entrance. She paused, intending to turn away and avoid him, but was spotted by the sharp-eyed Old He.
The black sedan quickly caught up with her. Old He rolled down the window and respectfully said to her, "Miss Lin, sir asked me to pick you up."
Lin Yixun’s face changed slightly. Leng Yixiu knew that she was here?
She felt a vague sense of unease and said to Old He, "Old He, please call Leng Yixiu and tell him that I want to stay at Shengde Hospital tonight."
"This... I can’t make such a decision. If you have any requests, you can call sir yourself."
"Alright then." Lin Yixun immediately dialed Leng Yixiu’s number. After a moment, the man’s voice came from the other end of the line.
"What is it? Speak." Whether it was Lin Yixun’s illusion or not, this time, the man’s voice seemed colder than before.
"I want to stay at Shengde Hospital tonight to accompany my mom."
"Leng Yixiu, agreeing to your terms doesn’t mean you can restrict my personal freedom!"
"Personal freedom?" The man on the other end sneered, "Lin Yixun, you seem to forget that you are now my woman. If you can’t even manage to let me see you for one night, what is the point of our deal?"
"But you should be aware of my mom’s current condition. She’s in the hospital alone; I can’t be at ease."
"That is your concern, not mine. I only know that I am a businessman, and having paid the price, I expect the corresponding services."
His voice was as cold and merciless as the man himself. Lin Yixun let out a cold laugh. How could she ever hope that Leng Yixiu would take her feelings into account? Apart from Cheng Ying, Leng Yixiu never cared about anyone else’s fate.
Lin Yixun took a deep breath and said word by word, "Fine, I understand. Sorry for wasting Mr. Leng’s valuable time earlier."
Without waiting for the man’s response, Lin Yixun forcefully ended the call.
She looked up at the gloomy sky, feeling like something was about to flow from her eyes. She took several deep breaths to force the tears back.
After a long time, she finally composed herself, opened the car door, and got into the back seat. She said to Old He, "Let’s go."
The car drove steadily on the wide asphalt road. Through the rearview mirror, Old He occasionally glanced at Lin Yixun in the back seat. Seeing her red-rimmed eyes, he couldn’t help but solemnly comfort her, "Miss Lin, actually... sir isn’t usually ."
