Lu Jinghan stopped what he was doing, hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Weiyang, we’re adults now, I’ve made things very clear."
"Anyway, I’m sticking with you for this lifetime, don’t think of shaking me off."
Lin Weiyang instinctively hooked her arm through Lu Jinghan’s, her face adorned with a radiant smile.
Lu Jinghan withdrew his arm from the crook of Lin Weiyang’s elbow, raised his hand to pinch his brow, and after a moment spoke in a subdued tone: "Fu Bin, please handle my discharge paperwork."
Lin Weiyang looked at the man before her with a face full of resentment, her eyes brimming with emotion: "Jinghan, is this necessary? When I heard you were in a car accident with life-threatening risks, my heart leaped into my throat. Thinking about how I would manage if you were no longer by my side, I wouldn’t even know how to continue living. Can you consider my feelings?"
Lu Jinghan remained silent; his intentions couldn’t be more obvious, and what needed to be said had long been clarified.
He closed the laptop in his hands, tossed aside the blanket, got out of bed, took clothes from the wardrobe, and headed to the bathroom.
Watching Lin Weiyang cry with a tear-stained face, Fu Bin walked over and patted her shoulder, searching for the right words to comfort her.
By the time the discharge procedures were complete, the outside sky had already darkened and a light drizzle had begun.
Lu Jinghan wore a pair of white sneakers, his black casual pants were rolled up to reveal his ankles, with a loose white sweater, an expensive watch on his wrist, complemented by a face that could steal anyone’s heart; he was the "dream husband" for everyone.
Standing in the corridor waiting for the elevator, many of the young nurses had their eyes glued to Lu Jinghan, hardly resisting the urge to leap at him.
With a "ding" the elevator doors opened. Han Xi and Chen Zheng had just finished work, and as the elevator doors opened, everyone’s gaze fell on Han Xi and Lu Jinghan’s outfits — they were like a perfect couple.
Han Xi was wearing white sneakers too, paired with black skinny pants and a loose white sweater.
Inside the elevator, Lu Jinghan stood next to Han Xi, his deep gaze falling on her hand: "Your injury?"
Han Xi looked up, smiling lightly: "It’s nothing, just a scrape."
Lu Jinghan said nothing further, standing with his hands in his pockets as Han Xi’s delicate features reflected off the bright elevator walls into his pupils.
The elevator stopped at the underground parking, Han Xi got into Chen Zheng’s car, followed by Lu Jinghan and Lin Weiyang getting into Fu Bin’s car to leave.
In the hotpot restaurant, Li Manman was eating the meat in her bowl rather ungracefully while jabbering: "Chen Zheng, if it weren’t for inviting our Xiao Xi to dinner, you’d probably forget about me, your old classmate."
Chen Zheng glanced towards Han Xi who was eating with her head down, his eyes filled with an unfading smile: "You’re making it sound like I prioritize love over friendship."
"Oh, you’re admitting that our Xiao Xi is love and not friendship."
Han Xi looked up and glared at Li Manman, signaling her to shut up; that mouth could be foul indeed.
Midway through the meal, Li Manman answered a call, and after a few words, she started yelling like she was on fire.
After hanging up, Han Xi asked what happened. Li Manman said Zhang Ming just called and said Shi Yu’s grandmother is celebrating her birthday today. Inside information says Shi Yu will be attending with a daughter of the Li Family, likely to announce their relationship at the banquet.
