Lin Jindong
fiancé
After Lin Jindong finished speaking, he paused slightly, probably observing my reaction.
In just one night, I made up my mind to "transfer" all the harm that Yu Xu might suffer to Ye Fenglin.

I think it was my fault. I knew the hospital was heavily monitored, but the safety passage leading to Yu Xu's ward was surprisingly "relaxed," and I even found a way to avoid the surveillance. This was clearly a trap set for me, and I stupidly jumped in.
If it weren't for me, Yu Xu would have woken up long ago, and he wouldn't have had to suffer so much.
I lowered my eyes and remained silent, tears slowly welling up in my eyelashes. In Lin Jindong's view, this must have been a silent form of resistance.
He stared at me with a look I'd never seen before, a look that was dark and even a little frightening. "You like him that much? Aren't you afraid something will happen if you're with him?"
I nodded instinctively. But the next second, I heard a man's footsteps approaching. The footsteps were steady, and just hearing them made me a little scared. I stood there, only then realizing that a long, dark shadow had been cast over me.
"Why...why is he so against me being with Ye Fenglin? Even though he's under tight police protection now, the case is still in the investigation stage and hasn't reached the prosecution yet. Does Lin Jindong like to meddle so much?"
“Because you’ll definitely get hurt if you’re with him,” Lin Jindong said with absolute certainty.
The man's tall, imposing figure leaned heavily against me, his long, slender fingers gently pinching my chin, making me tilt my head back and look directly into his eyes.
"What do you like about him?" Lin Jindong asked me.
His gaze was cold and sharp. He curled his lips, his smile still lingering. "You think he's handsome, rich, and good to you? You're so beautiful, I don't believe you haven't met a better man than Ye Zi."
The man's gaze was calm and restrained as he swept his eyes across my face.
Even though he was far away from me, his naturally intense gaze swept from my still angry eyes to my drooping eyelashes, and finally to my lightly bitten lips. For a moment, I even had the illusion that he had kissed me hard from head to toe.
"I..." To be honest, I couldn't really say what I liked about Ye Fenglin. I mustered up my courage and looked at him. "He, he's a good person."
"Where is it good?" Lin Jindong tightened his grip slightly, his voice low and sharp.
He treated me like a criminal, insisting that I say everything that would satisfy him before he would release me.
I tried desperately to think of a reason, but the more I looked at Lin Jindong's deep eyes and sharp features, the harder it was for me to open my mouth. I could only take his hand and slowly write in his palm, "He loves to laugh, likes to play, and gives me many things I like."
To be fair, these are some of the few good qualities I can think of about Ye Fenglin. He is very energetic, has exceptional concentration, plays games very well, and still has the energy to manage his social media platforms every day.
Besides, Ye Fenglin has very gentle, almond-shaped eyes when he smiles, unlike Ping's ambiguous, emotionless smile. In the end, every day when I visited Ye Fenglin in the hospital, he would always prepare gifts for me: Hermes bags, Bulgari jewelry, Cartier necklaces… He was very generous; they could fetch a good price on the secondhand market.
When Lin Jindong heard me say that, he simply raised his eyelids calmly. He casually raised the corner of his mouth and suddenly asked a completely unrelated question: "If you had to choose between me and Ye Fenglin, who would you prefer to be with?"

I didn't know that a handsome and gentlemanly man like Lin Jindong, with a mature and calm personality, would be so childish as to compare himself to Ye Fenglin, who is a college student a few years younger than him... I turned my gaze slightly to the side, but he controlled my chin and made me look at him.
"Answer my question, and don't get distracted."
Lin Jindong's palms were broad and thick, his fingers long and strong, and the veins on the back of his hands were slightly raised, making him look more like Ye Fenglin.
In terms of appearance, a man with such sharp and assertive features, and a strong sense of self, is the type of person I'm most afraid to approach. Although Ye Fenglin's personality is unpredictable, at least he's willing to pretend to be friendly, unlike Lin Jindong, who always gives me the impression of being terrified.
As for the rest... my gaze slowly moved downwards from his open collar.
Lin Jindong's physique is comparable to Ye Fenglin's; both are the type who are strict with themselves and exercise in a moderate but not excessive way. However, under Lin Jindong's black trousers, his rugged physique seems to be more pronounced than Ye Fenglin's.
I naturally understand the principle that one has to bow one's head when under someone's roof, so I could only bite my lip and tell him, "...It's you."
"Can't hear me? Speak louder." Lin Jindong's handsome face didn't lose any smile as he patiently repeated, "Who do you choose?"
"I choose you!" My face turned slightly red. Lin Jindong finally released me with satisfaction. I thought he was really childish. Is this kind of spiritual victory really that interesting?
My body was tense just now, but as I relaxed a little, the place where I fell last night started to hurt again. I looked down at the injuries on Xia's arms and thighs. I remembered that Xu Ya had applied medicine to my body last night, and the pain seemed to have disappeared. Perhaps it was because the medicine had worn off overnight, and the pain returned.
"I should go apply the medicine," I told Lin Jindong in the palm of my hand.
He slowly tightened his grip on my hand as I wrote, his thick eyebrows furrowing. He easily bent down and picked me up, his strong masculine scent powerfully and forcefully overwhelming all my senses. Lin Jindong adjusted his position, avoiding touching my wound, but I dared not struggle.
The man's palm was positioned right on his thigh and waist, and through the thin nightgown, his palm was frighteningly hot.
He simply carried me back to Lin Zhi'en's bedroom, a short walk in which I could only keep my head down.
“I carried you back last night and changed your dressing, remember?” He placed me on Lin Zhi’en’s bed.
The young lady's bed is the most comfortable I've ever slept in. The pink silk sheets are so smooth. I slept on them last night, and it felt like I was sleeping in a soft cloud. I didn't feel anything at all.
But if we change the dressing, wouldn't we be completely exposed?
I suddenly looked up, some of my long black hair even falling onto the back of his hand. I instinctively leaned back, and Lin Jindong wrapped his arms around my waist. With a little force, his strong arms pulled me by the ankles and brought me in front of him.
He gripped my shoulders. "Drag it, then turn around, face away from me, otherwise I can't apply the medicine." @Unlimited good articles, all at Literary City
“I, Zhi En…” I wanted to wait for Lin Zhi En to come back. Lin Jin Dong’s aggressiveness and presence were too strong. He wasn’t like Xu Ya, who was emotionless and just looked at my wounds. I even felt that if Lin Jin Dong’s hand touched me casually, I would turn into soft water on the spot and be manipulated by him.
Seeing that I didn't move, Lin Jindong smiled faintly: "What are you afraid of?"
“I have no interest in injured little girls.” His voice was low and cold. “However… Ji-eun and her fiancé went to play golf. You’d better get your dressing changed and go to sleep before they get home. If I see you flirting with her fiancé, I can’t guarantee what I’ll do to you.”
