Chapter 26 Late Return 26

Fu Yin couldn't help but shudder when he said this, and he still felt a little scared when he thought about it.

Jiang Qian frowned and glanced at Fu Yin in the passenger seat: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay. I've also managed to calm Xu Ning down. She probably won't do anything for now."

Fu Yin spoke in a very soft voice.

Jiang Qian pursed her lips and sighed, "I don't know what she's thinking. How could she do this to you?"

"She felt that since she had saved my life, it naturally belonged to her."

Fu Yin chuckled. No one could persuade a radical man like Xu Ning.

Otherwise, Father Lin would not have stood by and watched for so many years.

Half of the shares of Lin's enterprise are from Xu Ning's mother's family, and Lin's father has long been sidelined.

On the surface, he is a director of Lin's enterprise, but to put it bluntly, Xu Ning is in charge.

Xu Ning is an extremely strong person, and Lin's father has no status in the family.

Fu Yin's heart sank, and he became more and more irritated when he thought about these things.

Now she just wanted to see Lin Xu as soon as possible and explain everything to him.

The car stopped in front of the hospital and Fu Yin opened the door and got out.

Jiang Qian parked the car and followed.

Fu Yin walked quickly in her high heels and came to the elevator door to wait.

Jiang Qian followed her and immediately took her arm and went up with her.

"What are you going to say to Lin Xu later? But I heard that he seems to have been jealous of you and Xu Nianbai's brother these past two days."

Jiang Qian's lips curled up and she couldn't help laughing.

Fu Yin's eyelashes drooped, and he was a little stunned when he heard this: "Really? What's so delicious about this?"

Jiang Qian couldn't help but laugh, and leaned close to her ear and spoke again: "I don't know about that. Isn't that part of your plan?"

Fu Yin frowned, not understanding what Jiang Qian meant.

In the ward, Lin Xu was sitting on the bed, looking down at the latest news on his mobile phone. When he heard a knock on the door, he looked over.

Seeing through the glass window that it was Fu Yin coming, he immediately put down his phone and a casual smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Fu Yin knocked on the door before pushing it open and going in.

Lin Xu raised his eyes and looked at Fu Yin, his voice low: "Yin Yin."

Fu Yin pursed her cherry lips and her palms tightened involuntarily.

Jiang Qian tactfully did not go in, but just stood outside and watched.

Fu Yin and Lin Xu were the only ones left in the ward.

"I received the cake, thank you."

Lin Xu's thin lips were tense, and his gaze remained on her for a long time. He was curious about Xu Muzhou's affairs but didn't know how to start.

Fu Yin's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he remembered that there was still a gift that he hadn't given him. After hesitating for a while, he took out a small box from his bag.

"For you."

Fu Yin handed it over. The gift box was small and exquisite. She bought the tie from a men's jewelry store a month ago. It was the latest model of the year.

"Is it for me?" Lin Xu asked hesitantly without taking it.

Fu Yin snorted twice and said in a hoarse voice: "Well, I saw it in the store before and bought it back."

Lin Xu's eyes were deep. He opened the box and took a look, only to find that there was a tie inside. His eyes sank a little.

The two of them were silent for a long time, and Fu Yin was the first to speak and break the silence: "Aunt Xu came to see me."

"What does she want you for?"

Lin Xu's heart was filled with ripples, and he asked nervously.

He had warned Xu Ning before not to cause trouble for Fu Yin again. It was she who had always disobeyed the agreement, and there was no need for him to continue to obey her.

Lin Xu suddenly reached out and held her wrist, his eyes full of complicated emotions, staring at her with his dark eyes.

"Nothing, just asking me to go home and eat. Did the doctor say when you can be discharged?"

Fu Yin's eyes darkened, and when he saw his frightened expression, he hesitated.

If Lin Xu were told about this, what would he do?

Will he break up with the Lin family?

Fu Yin clenched his fingers, feeling very conflicted.

She didn't want to listen to Xu Ning and arrange a marriage, but there was no telling what that madman would do, and it was very likely that he would attack Lin Xu immediately.

In her heart, there are no children at all, only pawns, and this is what makes her feel the most terrified.

Lin Xu's Adam's apple rolled twice. She always felt that Fu Yin was lying. The man held her hand and had not let go yet, and the strength increased a little.

"If you have any problems, just tell me directly. I can help you solve them. You don't have to handle them alone."

Lin Xu spoke immediately with a hoarse voice.

Fu Yin's eyelashes drooped, and she subconsciously pushed the man's hand away, looking away and responding: "No, you think too much."

Lin Xu's expression froze. After a long pause, he asked, "I called you last night and you..."

Fu Yin suddenly stood up and was about to leave, but stopped after hearing Lin Xu's question.

Last night?

Fu Yincai recalled that Xu Muzhou was drunk after the celebration banquet, and he did receive a call while supporting him.

Could it be Lin Xu who hit him?

She didn't pay attention at the time and didn't remember how the call was hung up.

"Were you the one who called me last night?" Fu Yin's eyes darkened and he looked at Lin Xu in shock.

"Xu Muzhou drank too much at the celebration party yesterday. I was so focused on him when I answered the phone that I didn't listen carefully."

Fu Yin subconsciously explained aloud, but he didn't know what he was nervous about.

Even if she didn't explain, this matter had nothing to do with Lin Xu.

Fu Yin's eyes sank, and he looked at Lin Xu unconsciously, and saw a different emotion in the man's eyes.

Lin Xu was in a depressed mood, and the strings in his heart were broken. He felt even worse after hearing Fu Yin's words.

This was not what he wanted to hear. He just wanted to know whether she had agreed to Xu Muzhou.

"Now that the gift has been delivered, I'll be leaving now. Your interview will be on the channel in a few days. If you have any questions, please contact me."

Fu Yin looked down at the time on his watch, then remembered that he had to sort out documents later, so he didn't stay long and turned to walk out of the ward.

Jiang Qian sat on the lounge chair outside the corridor and waited for a long time. When she heard the door open, she glanced at Fu Yin, and immediately took her arm when she saw her come out.

"How about it?"

"I'm a little conflicted. I don't know whether I should tell him about this, but I'm also worried that it will affect his relationship with the Lin family."

Fu Yin sighed helplessly and could only wait for a while until he found evidence of what Xu Ning had done before he could truly bring her down.

Walking out of the hospital, Jiang Qian frowned and said resentfully, "Why don't you just tell Lin Xu directly that you don't want to?"

"And I think in Lin Xu's heart, you are more important than the Lin family."

A trace of loneliness flashed across Fu Yin's expression. She was just an adopted daughter in the Lin family, but the Lin family might be special to Lin Xu.

What's more, there are many ties involved, including the deceased Lin Pianpian.

"Forget it, let's wait and see what happens. As long as we find evidence of Xu Ning later, it won't be too late to explain it clearly then."

Fu Yin bent his head slightly and responded in a faint voice.

Jiang Qian had no choice but to drive Fu Yin back.

——

Two weeks later, Lin Xu did not want to stay in the hospital anymore and applied for early discharge.

Fu Yin also learned the news from Jiang Qian, and ran to the hospital for some unknown reason.

Lin Xu was packing his things alone in the ward while Xu Nianbai was at the front desk helping him with the discharge procedures.

Fu Yin walked very quickly in her high heels. She was running here on her way out to collect things.

When he heard that Lin Xu was going to be discharged from the hospital, he hurried to the outside of the ward.

Seeing the man sorting clothes inside, she pushed the door open and went in.

"Are your injuries healed?"

Fu Yin's eyelashes trembled slightly. He walked quickly to Lin Xu and asked anxiously.

Seeing Fu Yin panting, Lin Xu walked over to the table and poured her a glass of water: "Why are you so anxious?"

"You didn't even tell me when you were discharged from the hospital?"

"You seem to be very busy recently. I sent you a message but you didn't reply."

Lin Xu's voice was gentle, and he seemed a little aggrieved when he said this.

These days, he was almost injured from holding back in the hospital. He sent her messages almost every day, but got no response. He secretly followed her circle of friends and always saw Xu Muzhou's figure in her circle of friends.

Although it was all work related, he couldn't help but feel curious and concerned.

But I don’t know in what capacity I should ask.

"Well, your interview was in a popular magazine."

Fu Yin responded softly, and still reached out to help him tidy up. His eyes fell lightly on him, wanting to check his wound.

Lin Xu noticed Fu Yin's gaze falling, and immediately stood in front of her, his body suddenly moving closer.

Fu Yin felt the man approaching and couldn't help but take two steps back.

"What's wrong?"

Fu Yin raised his eyelashes slightly, cleared his throat and asked.

Lin Xu's lips tightened, and after a long pause he spoke gently, "I can do it myself, you don't have to come all the way here."

"How can I know if you are okay if I don't come?"

Fu Yin muttered softly, his eyes unconsciously glancing to the side.

Lin Xu also heard Fu Yin whispering something, lowered his head and continued to move closer: "Do you want to check it yourself?"

The man's breath was lowered, and a faint scent of cedar lingered. Fu Yin couldn't help but clench his fingertips.

"What?" Fu Yin blinked and coughed twice.

"If you're worried, check for yourself to see if I'm really well."

Lin Xu then took her wrist and placed her hand directly on his chest.

Fu Yin touched his strong chest and the place where he was injured before, which was still wrapped in bandages.

She couldn't help but recall that night when the man stabbed him many times.

Fu Yin swallowed and felt nervous.

Thinking of what Xu Ning said, she backed off a little.

If Xu Ning can do it the first time, he can do it the second time.

She was really scared.

She didn't want Lin Xu to die because of her.

"Does it hurt a lot?" Fu Yin's nose felt sore and his eyes turned red instantly. He asked in a hoarse voice.

"Yeah, it hurts." Lin Xu said in a low and hoarse voice, his face still getting closer.

His eyes were deep and he stared at her without looking away, wanting to look at her a little longer.

Now that he has no one around him, he actually has no way to suppress his inner emotions.

As long as Fu Yin takes a step towards him, he will unconsciously walk the rest of the way.

"Yin Yin, do you want to take another closer look to see if I'm okay?"

Lin Xu's thick palm covered her soft fingers and lowered his voice.
