"What, you're firing me?"

Li Xinyi was stunned for a moment, then tears welled up in her eyes: "Brother Huo, did I do something wrong?"

Huo Zhendong pinched his aching temples: "You didn't do anything wrong, I'm sorry."

He then took out a stack of cash and handed it to Li Xinyi: "Don't worry, even though you're no longer with the Huo family, my support for you will not change."

Seeing that he seemed determined to send her away, Li Xinyi lowered her eyes and darted around.

She had worked so hard to get into the Huo family and spent so much time winning over Huo Zhendong's heart. If she left the Huo family now, all her previous efforts would have been in vain.

But now she has no chance to refuse.

Li Xinyi could only nod.

He added, "Alright, since that's the case, I'll make you and Jiaojiao dinner one last time before I leave."

Huo Zhendong initially wanted to refuse.

"Jiaojiao likes to eat the food I cook."

Li Xinyi's eyes were filled with tears, which softened his heart, and he sighed, "Alright."

Li Xinyi walked towards the kitchen, choking back tears, but when she turned around, her eyes turned cold... Now that things have come to this, and Bai Xinmo is about to die, she doesn't want to leave the Huo family. Men, a little atmosphere and a little bit of alcohol to liven things up are enough.

Wiping away her tears, Li Xinyi carefully prepared a candlelight dinner and then used desserts to coax Huo Jiaojiao into her room.

Only then did he sit down at the dining table with Fok Chun-tung.

"Brother Huo, today is our last meal together."

Li Xinyi bit her lip, looking at Huo Zhendong with lingering reluctance, "Brother Huo, thank you for taking care of me during this time. No matter where I go in the future, I will never forget you."

She choked back tears: "And you, will you forget me?"

Huo Zhendong looked into her eyes and felt a slight touch in his heart... After all, he was reluctant to part with her after spending so much time together.

“Xinyi…” Huo Zhendong said, “No.”

Li Xinyi burst into tears and suddenly stepped forward to hug Huo Zhendong.

"Brother Huo, I really don't want to be separated from you, sob sob..."

"I'm so reluctant to leave you. In all my life, besides the headmistress, you've been the best to me..."

Huo Zhendong's heart was also torn apart by her crying.

"Don't cry..." He stroked her cheek, and their eyes met.

Li Xinyi slowly leaned into Huo Zhendong's arms, and Huo Zhendong did not push her away...

That night, the two of them finally crossed the line.

...

After Huo Zhendong woke up, he saw Li Xinyi packing her luggage to leave.

He covered his head, recalling what had happened yesterday, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

"Ouch!" came a cry of pain.

Li Xinyi, who was carrying a suitcase, fell to the ground, and Huo Zhendong quickly went to help her up.

"Xinyi, how are you?" Huo Zhendong asked with concern.

Li Xinyi looked aggrieved: "Brother Huo, do you still care about me? Weren't you going to kick me out?"

Huo Zhendong was in a real bind.

Li Xinyi choked back tears twice: "I know you're the big boss of the Huo Group, and I'm an orphan. I'm absolutely, positively unworthy of you. I've never even thought of competing with Sister Bai for anything..."

She forced a smile: "I originally wanted to like you quietly, but I never expected that something like that would happen yesterday. I can't let down Sister Bai and Brother Huo. Even if you asked me to stay, I wouldn't."

With that, she picked up her suitcase and prepared to leave.

Huo Zhendong's heart wavered, and he grabbed Li Xinyi's hand: "Xinyi, don't go."

Li Xinyi looked at him with a wronged expression: "No, we can't let Sister Bai down..."

Upon hearing his wife's name, Huo Zhendong's brow furrowed with a hint of guilt.

But... she had a heart condition and was never going to live past this year anyway.

"What happened yesterday wasn't just your responsibility; I was also at fault."

Huo Zhendong hugged Li Xinyi and said, "I've already wronged Xinmo, I can't wrong you too. Let's be together."

"Brother Huo..." Li Xinyi cried with joy, "Is what you said true?"

Huo Zhendong wiped away her tears: "Of course it's true."

"However... Xinmo is seriously ill, and I don't want to cause her any sadness while she's still alive." This means that even if the two of them were to be together, it would have to be after Bai Xinmo dies.

Li Xinyi was of course willing!

Bai Xinmo has a heart condition and might not live to see the end of the month!

She nestled happily in Fok Chun-tung's arms: "As long as I can be with you, I'll do anything."

...

At the hospital, Fok Chun-tung brought his daughter to visit Pak Sum-mo, and Li Sum-yi came along as well.

"Jiaojiao, remember, don't tell Mom that Sister Li is still at our house?" Huo Zhendong lowered his head and instructed his daughter, "After you visit Mom, Dad and Sister Li will take you to the amusement park."

"Okay!" Huo Jiaojiao happily agreed.

Li Xinyi smiled gently and waved to the two of them, saying, "I'll wait for you in the corridor."

"good."

After seeing the two people off, Li Xinyi saw a familiar figure walking towards the ward.

It's... Bai Yan!

Li Xinyi took the initiative to walk over and greeted Bai Yan: "Miss Bai".

He then showed off the watch on his wrist, deliberately boasting, "This watch was bought for me by Fok Chun-tung, your brother-in-law."

"So, when you sponsored me at the orphanage before, you never thought this day would come, did you? Miss Bai, aren't you very angry to see your brother-in-law wanting to marry me?"

Li Xinyi tilted her head to look at Bai Yan. She had been so high and mighty before, she probably never thought that an orphan like her could climb to her current position.
