Lin Xinlan frowned slightly, "Do you need something from me?"
The woman spoke bluntly, "I’m here to kill you. You hurt Qiao Yiyang, so I’ve come to take your life!"
Another person seeking revenge for Qiao Yiyang?
Rong Mingyan had come to warn her, but this woman, she would really kill her.
She was too direct, her eyes nakedly betraying her intent, her entire being exuded a chilling murderous intent, she wasn’t merely trying to scare her.
"Aren’t you afraid of being blamed by Qiao Yiyang if you kill me?" Lin Xinlan retorted.
The woman laughed heartily, "Others may care about his thoughts, but I don’t. I only know, whoever dares to hurt him, I will kill them! Even if it were the Jade Emperor, I wouldn’t let him off!"
"You like Qiao Yiyang?" Lin Xinlan blurted out.
The woman neither denied it nor became enraged at being found out.
She admitted generously, "The whole world knows I like him."
She straightened up, like an elegant and agile cheetah, slowly advancing towards Lin Xinlan.
"If you had stayed obediently by his side, I wouldn’t have touched you. But you nearly cost him his life. Your existence is a threat to him, so you must... die!"
Before the last word had fully left her lips, her hand suddenly produced a sharp dagger, and without hesitation, she plunged it viciously into Lin Xinlan’s body!
Annie lay on the hospital bed, eyes closed, feigning sleep.
The two nurses beside her changing her dressing were quietly chatting.
"I’m telling you, just now Director Tao smiled at me. He’s so handsome, charming, and rich. If only he could take a fancy to me."
"Dream on, even if he does like you, at most you’d be his girlfriend for a month. Everyone knows Director Tao is a playboy, the women he dates can only be with him for a month."
"It’s okay, a month is enough for me. A man should enjoy his youth, right? Besides, with Director Tao’s perfect conditions, it’s only natural for him to be a ladies’ man. If I could date him for a month, I’d have no regrets in this life."
"You know you can only date him for a month and you’re still willing?"
"Of course! To be able to date him would be my good fortune. I’ve heard that every woman he’s been with has no complaints about him, all of them praise him as a great guy."
"Don’t tell me you don’t like Director Tao? All the nurses here like him, and not just here—even the ones across the street selling clothes, food, or running stores, which one of them doesn’t like him. Don’t tell me you really don’t like him."
"...What’s the use of liking him, if he wasn’t such a playboy, I guess I’d like him even more."
"Haha, turns out you’re just like us. Looking at you day by day with that indifferent expression, I thought you didn’t like him."
"Enough talk, I’m off to the next ward!"
The two nurses left, and Annie opened her eyes, thinking of their conversation, a playful smile flickered in her eyes and curled at the corners of her mouth.
Right on schedule, Tao Hua came to check on her.
Annie cooperated with his examination, and the man said with a smile, "You are recovering well. In a couple of days, you can go back to your old profession."
"Tao Hua, come here, I have something to tell you." Annie said with a smile, beckoning him with her finger.
