Lin Xinlan suddenly spoke, "Mr. Qiao, let’s go."
Qiao Yiyang showed a look of joy, while Lao Gu found it unbelievable.
"Young Madam, you...?"
"Go and ask what Rong Shaoze thinks. If he wants me back, let him come and pick me up himself." With these words, she got into Qiao Yiyang’s car.
She was deliberately making things difficult for Rong Shaoze. He definitely wouldn’t want her back, and that way, she wouldn’t have to return at all.
Let them think she was angry about the child.
In fact, the loss of the child was a relief; she hadn’t wanted to bear his in the first place.
It was truly a good thing...
She could leave Rong Shaoze without any attachments, never to see him for the rest of her life.
But one day, she would make him realize just how unforgivable his actions were.
She would make him regret and suffer with guilt for a lifetime!
Seeing her in low spirits, Qiao Yiyang didn’t speak, focusing only on driving.
After a while, Lin Xinlan suddenly asked him to stop the car.
"Mr. Qiao, just leave me here, I won’t go with you," she said.
"How can that be, you have nowhere to go..."
"That’s my own business. Mr. Qiao, we’ve merely crossed paths by chance, I don’t want to trouble you."
Qiao Yiyang smiled gently, his expression warm, "Don’t worry, I don’t mind the trouble. Besides, I don’t think our meeting is just a chance encounter. We’ve met several times and faced hardships together; I believe our relationship has become quite special."
Seeing his response, Lin Xinlan could only sigh and say, "Going back with you would mean trouble for me."
"Mr. Qiao, please stop the car. Thank you for your kindness, but I have to go back. Otherwise, Rong Shaoze won’t let me off the hook."
The man frowned slightly, "You were hospitalized because of him? What did he do to you?"
"Stop the car! If you don’t, I’ll jump out!" Lin Xinlan didn’t want to waste words with him and directly opened the car door.
Worried she might fall, Qiao Yiyang quickly stopped the car.
Lin Xinlan got out quickly, closed the car door, and walked back the way they had come. Lao Gu had been following them the whole time and hadn’t left.
Seeing her get out of the car, he thought she had come to her senses and was ready to return with him.
A smile crossed his face, and he quickly opened the car door, hoping to invite her in. Little did he know, Lin Xinlan didn’t even give him a glance; she simply walked away.
He closed the door and said to the driver, "Follow her quickly."
Qiao Yiyang watched her receding figure, his eyes darkening slightly, feeling a strange sense of discontent. It was only after Lin Xinlan’s silhouette had disappeared that he finally drove away.
Lin Xinlan really didn’t know where to go. She wandered aimlessly, resting when tired and continuing her walk after enough rest.
As the sky gradually darkened, she drifted through the crowd, like a soulless zombie.
All the pain and hatred in her heart were forcefully suppressed.
She wouldn’t cause a scene with Rong Shaoze, nor seek revenge or justice from him. She knew what she wanted and wouldn’t foolishly present herself to be hurt and humiliated by him.
All she had to do was figure out how to break free from him.
"Young Madam, please get in the car. It’s no use walking endlessly," Lao Gu approached to comfort her.
Lin Xinlan hesitated and then nodded.
She returned to Rong Shaoze’s villa with Lao Gu. She had nowhere to go; even if she wanted to escape, she couldn’t.
It was better to waste a little less energy and suffer a bit less.
