Lin Yixun, as usual, maintained her routine of commuting between the company, the hospital, and the Half Mountain Villa. She didn’t understand what was going through Leng Yixiu’s head that night, to suddenly ask if he still held a place in her heart. Looking back, it was truly laughable.
Five years ago, she had offered her genuine feelings to him, but he didn’t want them and ruthlessly trampled on them. Now, after five years, he actually cared about her feelings - what was this?
That day, Lin Yixun finished a busy day and left the company intending to visit the hospital. As she stepped out of the company door, a colleague nudged her shoulder on purpose, "Yixun, look! There’s a handsome guy!"
"He’s covering his face with a hat, a baseball cap, and a mask. How can you tell he’s definitely handsome?" a colleague retorted, scoffing, "What’s with the act, does he think he’s a celebrity or something?"
"He’s just being cool, what do you know? With my sharp eyes and experience, I can tell he’s definitely handsome, no mistake about it!"
The two of them went back and forth, but Lin Yixun didn’t hear a word. Even though that person had his face wrapped up tightly, Lin Yixun could recognize him with just one look.
Why would Ouyang Hao be here?
Lin Yixun’s first reaction was shock, followed by an instinctive urge to flee. Their last meeting hadn’t been pleasant, and now she could no longer face him calmly.
She felt fortunate that it was the usual closing time for the company, with many employees coming and going. She slowly turned, facing away from him and walked towards the nearby bus stop, hoping he wouldn’t see her.
But contrary to her wishes, she had only taken a few steps when Ouyang Hao’s voice came from behind, "Lin Yixun!"
As soon as she heard Ouyang Hao’s voice, Lin Yixun forgot everything and ran towards the roadside. However, she couldn’t outpace Ouyang Hao, who caught up within a few steps.
The moment he grabbed her wrist, Lin Yixun didn’t know where she found the strength, but in the next instant, his large hand firmly held her. Lin Yixun struggled, but this time, he didn’t give her any chance.
Their standoff drew a crowd, and Lin Yixun’s colleagues were even more surprised, "Is he here for Lin Yixun again? Is Lin Yixun some kind of magnet for hot guys?"
"What, are you jealous?" another colleague said.
"Not jealous, envious really. Wait, why does this guy look familiar?"
"Yeah, it feels like I’ve seen him somewhere before."
Seeing the growing attention around them, Lin Yixun grew anxious. If they recognized Ouyang Hao, she might never be able to stay in the company after this. Ouyang Hao, sharp-eyed as ever, noticed Lin Yixun’s worry and seized the opportunity.
"Lin Yixun, you have two choices. Either come with me, or I take off my sunglasses and mask."
How was this a choice? It was clearly a threat!
"Could you please not do this?!" Lin Yixun spoke helplessly, "I’m begging you?"
"No way. I’ll count to three. If you still don’t choose, I’ll assume you want to make the front page with me tomorrow. One, two, three!" Ouyang Hao counted to three, seeing that Lin Yixun still hadn’t moved, he raised his hand, ready to remove his glasses and mask. Lin Yixun called out to him just in time.
"Fine, I’ll go with you."
Ouyang Hao’s eyes lit up with a smile, "Is that what you said?" Official source is ɴovelfire.net
"Let’s find a place to sort things out."
"There’s nothing to sort out between us!"
