The next morning, Liang Ruoxu woke up from another bed and realized that Lin Yi had been staring at her.
This caused Liang Ruoxu to feel embarra.s.sed.
“Why are you looking at me? Did 1 snore?”
“Not really. 1 just wanted to see you.”
“Don’t act nice. I’m not going to fall for that.”
“Look at you, treating kindness as ill intent. You’re not romantic at all.”
Liang Ruoxu ignored Lin Yi and got up to stretch.
Although she had been sleeping in the hospital, she had slept exceptionally soundly.
Lin Yi also got up and stretched. “Let’s go out for a walk and get some fresh air.”
“Is there anything wrong with your shoulder?”
“Don’t worry, I won’t die.”
“Huh?”
Liang Ruoxu had put on a down jacket and was dressed similarly to An Ning. They were both wearing plush leggings, which made her outfit look cla.s.sy.
This outfit seemed to be the uniform of northern girls in winter.
After leaving the hospital, Liang Ruoxu took the initiative to hold Lin Yi’s arm. Faint snowflakes floated from the sky and landed on their heads.
When will 1 see the snow in the south? The plum blossoms and I will have white heads©.
This was a rare happy moment for the two of them.
“I’ve booked a flight for lunch. 1’11 be leaving at noon,” Liang Ruoxu said.
“You’ve only been here for a day and you’re already leaving?”
“Do you really think I’m an idler?” Liang Ruoxu said, “There are still many things waiting for me to deal with in Zhonghai.”
“I thought you could stay a few more days and help me relieve my worries.”
“It’s hard to change your stubbornness. You’re still so dishonest even when you’re injured,” Liang Ruoxu said.
“If you’re really worried, go to the bathhouse and get a ma.s.sage. I won’t mind.”
“You’re quite generous.”
“Let’s just hurry up and get something to eat. I’m hungry.”
The two of them quickened their pace and found a relatively clean breakfast shop outside the hospital.
Steamed buns, rice porridge, tea eggs, pickled vegetables…
The entire breakfast cost less than 30 yuan. It was very economical.
After dinner, the two of them were not in a hurry to go back.
Lin Yi brought Liang Ruoxu to the central street and looked at the ice sculptures and snow sculptures. They were simple things but were still interesting.
Then, he played on an ice slide by the river with her and nearly missed the flight.
Originally, Liang Ruoxu wanted to leave on her own, but she couldn’t dissuade Lin Yi from sending her to the airport.
In the past, Liang Ruoxu was always surrounded by people when she went out.
Drivers, secretaries, a.s.sistants, and other people who would come and go.
But this time, Lin Yi was the only one by her side. It was like a farewell between a couple.
Slowly, the two of them walked towards the business corridor.
Liang Ruoxu was satisfied, even though she did not stay by Lin Yi’s side for a long time.
But she had given him all her feelings this time.
It was enough.
“Call me when you get off the plane.”
Standing at the entrance of the pa.s.sage, Lin Yi said to Liang Ruoxu.
“You too. Recuperate here. After you’re done, hurry up and go to Zhonghai.”
“Got it.”
Liang Ruoxu put down her things and opened her arms.
Lin Yi went forward and hugged her tightly.
Liang Ruoxu’s fair and round chin rested on Lin Yi’s shoulder.
At this moment, Liang Ruoxu was the center of attention.
“Take care of yourself.”
“Got it.”
Lin Yi gently kissed Liang Ruoxu’s forehead. This beautiful scene attracted many people’s attention.
This action was only pleasing to the eye when done by a good-looking person.
“Let’s go. There’s no need to be so reluctant. I’ll be back in a few days.” Lin Yi patted Liang Ruoxu’s shoulder. “If you don’t get on the plane soon, it’ll be dark by the time you return to Zhonghai.”
“Yes, I’m leaving now.”
The two separated. Liang Ruoxu combed her hair and waved at Lin Yi innocently. Then, she turned around and left beautiful and valiantly.
“Sister-in-law, when you get home, remember your lines. Make sure my brother doesn’t find out.”
Lin Yi shouted from behind, instantly attracting everyone’s attention. They stood rooted to the spot and stared at the two of them.
Looking at how reluctant the two of them were just now, everyone had thought that they were a couple. They did not expect this duo to be in that kind of relationship!
This… this world was too crazy!
Liang Ruoxu turned around abruptly, feeling extremely awkward!
“What nonsense are you spouting?!”
“Sigh, I forgot. This is a public place. I won’t say anything else. This is our little secret.”
“You!”
Liang Ruoxu was almost angered to death by Lin Yi, and her delicate face turned red.
She wanted to go back and beat Lin Yi up, but she couldn’t. She could only put on her mask and walk out with her head lowered.
After letting Liang Ruoxu experience social awkwardness, Lin Yi took a taxi back to the hospital.
When he returned, he found Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che in his ward, smoking and munching on melon seeds.
“I won’t say anything about the melon seeds. However, I’m a patient. It’s not right for me to smoke.”
“I’ll open the window so you can enjoy yourself,” Ning Che said with a smile.
“Has Secretary Liang left?” Qiu Yuluo asked.
“I just sent her off.”
“There’s news from Boss Liu.” Ning Che said.
“The w.a.n.g family seems to have brought w.a.n.g Mian back into the country. They even found a doctor from Meiguo, but 1 heard that the chances are slim.”
“I’m a doctor myself. Do you think 1 would give him a chance?” Lin Yi said.
“But other than that, there doesn’t seem to be any movement from the w.a.n.g family.” Ning Che shrugged and said.
“I’m a little puzzled. Other than them sending w.a.n.g Mian back, there’s no other movement from the w.a.n.g family. It’s as if nothing happened.”
“w.a.n.g Family isn’t stupid, they can guess how powerful Lin Yi is, and they were the ones initially in the wrong. Would they just let it go?” Qiu Yuluo said another possibility.
“There are no good people among the rich and powerful,” Ning Che said.
“If the w.a.n.g family really thinks that way, they would never have been able to climb up to such a high position. Ninety-nine percent of the people in this circle are unclean. There’s no way they would just give up.”
“I agree with Ning Che,” Lin Yi said.
“Not only did 1 break w.a.n.g Mian’s leg, but 1 also stole the family’s business. If they don’t pursue this matter, they will definitely become a laughing stock in the upper circle. In the future, if anyone else dares to step on them, the w.a.n.g family will decline at a visible speed. Therefore, no matter what, they will retaliate.”
“But up until now, there’s been no movement at all. It makes me feel uneasy.”
“This is the calm before the storm. They also know that behind me, there is the Liang family and Lu Beichen; they also know the influence I have within the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. If they act recklessly, the ones who will ultimately suffer are the w.a.n.g family. So, they need to be cautious in their actions.”
Lin Yi lay on the bed with his hands behind his head.
“I think the w.a.n.g family will stay quiet for a while in the future, but the longer they stay quiet, the worse it will be for us.”
