"..." Tao Hua stood up dejectedly and said, "It’s just my bloody good heart that cares about you so much! If you don’t appreciate it, fine, I’m leaving, goodbye."
He had just taken two steps when Rong Shaoze’s faint voice came from behind him.
"Tao Hua, you should know my feelings for Xinlan. If you know anything, please tell me, I’m begging you."
Tao Hua’s steps halted, and his silhouette became somewhat stiff.
Rong Shaoze was actually begging him!
How could he refuse this request?
Seeing his reaction, Rong Shaoze’s eyes darkened, knowing he must be hiding something from him.
"Tao Hua, tell me, what’s wrong with Xinlan?" he asked urgently, his voice tinged with a hint of uncertain anxiety.
Tao Hua turned around and smiled, "I really don’t know anything, you think too highly of me. If Lin Xinlan has something going on, she wouldn’t tell you, so why would she tell me, when I’m not close with her? But rest assured, if I do find out anything, I will tell you."
Rong Shaoze’s lips were tightly pressed together, his dark eyes fixed intently on him.
Tao Hua couldn’t stand his gaze and averted his eyes, "I have other things to do, I need to go first."
He forced himself to ignore Rong Shaoze’s look and left with determination.
It was over, he had seen right through him.
Yet, he also felt a sense of relief in his heart.
He didn’t want to keep things from Rong Shaoze in the first place. Since he’d noticed himself, just let it be.
If he could see Xinlan one more time, then it was destined for them.
As soon as Tao Hua left, Rong Shaoze immediately made calls to locate Lin Xinlan’s whereabouts.
He was, after all, an extremely intelligent and meticulous person.
Now, piecing all the events together, his suspicions that Lin Xinlan was hiding something from him grew stronger.
Could it be that she didn’t leave him because her feelings changed, but because she had other pressing reasons?
What pressing reason could make her afraid to tell him and cruelly leave?
Rong Shaoze suddenly stood up, his face changing dramatically!
If it was related to Tao Hua, it was definitely linked to a health issue.
He understood everything in an instant.
He was sure, Xinlan’s health was failing, perhaps even with no chance of recovery.
Did she know she was dying and had no choice but to leave him and Xiaocong?
Rong Shaoze thought hard about the letter Lin Xinlan left for him, its content also seemed very suspicious.
The more he thought, the paler the man’s complexion became, and in the end, his body started to tremble slightly.
He immediately made many calls, mobilizing all his resources to find Lin Xinlan.
He had to find her immediately, there was no time to delay.
He didn’t dare to think of what might have happened to her during this past month.
What if she had already died...
Rong Shaoze really couldn’t bear to think further, she must not die, she has no right to leave him without his permission!
Through the window, Lin Xinlan saw Qiao Yiyang and Lu Xiaofan outside and felt very annoyed.
They had been standing out there all the time, truly intent on not letting her leave.
Forget it, she didn’t have many days left anyway; if they wanted to guard the door, let them be.
It was getting darker, and the cold wind today was especially biting.
Even sitting in a warm room, Lin Xinlan could feel the chill from outside.
Qiao Yiyang’s leg had broken from jumping out of the plane.
Although it healed quickly, the bones had been injured. Standing for long periods or getting cold would cause severe pain.
