The audience watched this grand spectacle unfold, and opinions varied widely.

There are speculations about the reason why the young mistress of the Leng family and the adopted daughter of the Leng family got into a fight.

Some say that the young mistress of the Leng family was a jealous woman who poisoned her sister-in-law.

Some say that the young mistress of the Leng family comes from a humble background and can never be considered respectable.

They didn't say it outright, but they were all just watching the show.

Yan Zhi forced a smile, but the pain in her lower abdomen intensified, and she eventually chose to remain silent, feeling utterly exhausted.

Leng Linli's gaze remained fixed on Yan Zhi, and the weariness in her eyes made him feel uneasy.

The end of emotions is not swearing, not venting, but silence.

Was she so desperate for him?

So desperate that he remained silent.

"Cough cough... cough cough..." Bai Lian started coughing again, coughing so hard that she felt nauseous and felt like she was about to cough up.

Leng Linli said indifferently, "Take Miss to the hospital first."

The stern-looking driver came over and pulled Bai Lian into the car.

"Brother, I feel unwell... Could you come with me to the hospital?" Bai Lian clutched Leng Linli's clothes, her face showing a sickly frailty.

Leng Linli glanced at the clothes that Bai Lian had grabbed, his eyes showing displeasure.

Seeing Leng Linli's displeased gaze, Bai Lian reluctantly let go.

Leng Linli spoke sharply, his voice cold and devoid of any warmth: "I'm here with you, don't you feel better? If you feel bad, go see a doctor, coming to me won't help."

Looking back at Yan Zhi, Leng Linli couldn't help but wonder if Yan Zhi would care if he took Bai Lian to the hospital.

Hearing Leng Linli's words to Bai Lian, Yan Zhi couldn't help but look up at him. Bai Lian was his lover, and he was so heartless to say such a thing.

Their eyes met, each with their own thoughts.

His expression was cold and indifferent, and under the moonlight, his figure was elegant and outstanding.

But his cold, sharp eyes were deep and unfathomable. In Yan Zhi's eyes, this emotionless gaze was undoubtedly a sign of distrust.

Yan Zhi forced a smile and finally spoke up to explain, "Leng Linli, I'll only say this once: it wasn't me. I didn't push her. Do you believe me?"

After saying that, Yan Zhi felt powerless.

It seems that ever since she met Leng Linli, she has been constantly explaining herself, and this act of explaining makes her look like a sinner.

Hearing Yan Zhi say this, Leng Linli felt a sense of joy. She was still willing to explain to him, which meant that she still cared about his opinion.

"Are you alright?" Leng Linli asked, though his voice was relatively gentle.

He didn't actually care how Yan Zhi and Bai Lian fell into the water. Compared to the fact that they had already fallen into the water, Leng Linli was more concerned about whether Yan Zhi was alright.

"ah?"

Although Yan Zhi looked at Leng Linli calmly, she was taken aback by his words. She really didn't expect him to ask such a question.

Leng Linli patiently asked again, "I'm asking if you have anything to say?"

Yan Zhi's gaze remained fixed on Leng Linli, her eyelashes fluttering. She thought of what Su Rao had just sent her: should she give it a try?

Should Leng Linli accompany her?

He's not allowed to leave?

If she says: Yes.

Will Leng Linli stay?

Why not leave with Bai Lian?

The glimmer of hope that appeared in Yan Zhi's eyes gradually dimmed and disappeared.

The answer is self-evident.

What is she thinking?

He chuckled self-deprecatingly.

Yan Zhi knew perfectly well that if she didn't have expectations, she wouldn't be disappointed, but for a moment, she still had expectations for Leng Linli.

Once a delusion takes hold, it takes considerable effort to completely extinguish it...

After a few more desensitization treatments, she should be able to completely lose interest in Leng Linli.

Yan Zhi smiled slightly, her expression casual and gentle: "No."

Leng Linli's brows furrowed. Couldn't she say something nice?

As long as she says she has something to do, or asks him not to send other women off, even if it's just a way of being competitive and jealous to lie to him... that's fine.

He could then find a legitimate reason to stay.

His gaze lingered on Yan Zhi for a long time, but she didn't say a word. His cold and sharp eyes deepened, and he took the large towel that the servant brought, then gently draped it over Yan Zhi's shoulders.

Leng Linli unconsciously clenched his fists. Was it because he didn't care about him that he didn't care about anything he did?

Perhaps blinded by anger, Leng Linli said deliberately, "I'll take Bai Lian to the hospital first, then I'll come pick you up."

He frowned slightly, remained silent, and stared at Yan Zhi's face as if trying to discern something from it.

Staring intently at Yan Zhi's face, Leng Linli desperately hoped she would say: "No."

"Okay," Yan Zhi replied softly.

Leng Linli... speechless.

After a moment, Leng Linli, still unwilling to give up, tentatively asked again, "Did I really go?"

"Um......"

Leng Linli was furious. He had already hinted so clearly, but Yan Zhi still wouldn't let him stay.

Leng Linli didn't want to accompany Bai Lian to the hospital, but he had already said it, and Yan Zhi was in this state. If he didn't go, it would seem like he was clinging to her.

Damn it, why did he deliberately say he was taking Bai Lian to the hospital?!

Now he has no choice but to go, even if he doesn't want to.

If I don't go... it's my own face to be slapped!

Leng Linli had no choice but to move his feet, and it took him a lot of effort to resist turning around.

Yan Zhi looked at Leng Linli's resolute back, but without persisting, she looked away.

There are two hours left in today, 29 days to go.

29 days...

It will pass quickly.
