Wasn't he asking a pointless question? She even had an impulse to let him try it on in high heels and sit in the wheelchair himself, but with bodyguards and assistants around, she had to give up.

Fortunately, the parking lot wasn't far, and since the two had left early, she was finally able to relax after getting into the car.

Inside the venue, Yun Xue didn't have time to look at the messages; she was focused on finding Lin Yu. Zhou Yue hadn't even been there for a few minutes when Yun Zhou had another accident, and Yun Shanhe was away on a business trip. So, Yun Xue was the only one left in the family who could attend the banquet.

Jiang Miao was dragged to a social event by her parents. Yun Xue finally caught up with Lin Yu, who was alone. She tidied her appearance. The scene of lipstick on her teeth earlier made her too angry. She had lost face in front of Yun Nuan. Thinking about it at night would give her a heart attack.

"Brother Lin Yu, it's been a long time." Zhou Yue said that her carefully practiced smile was absolutely irresistible to men, and with her makeup today, which exuded a pure yet alluring vibe, she didn't believe Lin Yu could remain unmoved.

Lin Yu, holding a wine glass, was watching Jiang Miao socializing not far away. He glanced at Yun Xue and replied indifferently.

"Hello".

Then, turning our attention back, we saw Jiang Miao's family exchanging ideas with the piano artist who was supposedly from City A. The two families got along well, and every now and then they would pull their children aside to chat.

"Brother Lin Yu, don't you remember me? I'm Yun Xue. I'm so sorry that Yun Nuan did those things to you before. But she's too stubborn. My dad tried to persuade her for a long time, but she wouldn't listen. So our family had no choice but to cut ties with her. I hope you won't hold a grudge against our family because of this. I'm really sorry."

As she spoke, her expression grew increasingly troubled, and finally, her eyes welled up with tears, making her look pitiful.

He saw Jiang Miao clink glasses with that boy and they seemed to exchange a few words. Suddenly, he felt a little uncomfortable. Clearly, the person Jiang Miao liked was him.

"I'm busy right now, sorry." Lin Yu said without even turning his head. He didn't hear what Yun Xue was saying at all; his gaze was fixed straight ahead, not sparing a single glance for Yun Xue.

Yunxue, her face flushed with anger, spoke with a touch of coy caution.

"Brother Lin Yu, you're not angry, are you? It's all Yun Nuan's fault, can you please not take it out on me?"

Jiang Miao had been chatting with that man for three minutes, and she was even smiling! Lin Yu was so angry that he wanted to step forward and break them up, but when he turned around and heard what Yun Xue was saying, his face immediately turned cold.

"It's your fault. Why did you spread rumors that Yun Nuan died? She's alive and well. How heartless of you are to treat someone's life like that? I don't care what your Yun family thinks. Yun Nuan has never done anything to wrong me, and she has never hurt me. I hope you will stop spreading rumors."

Yun Xue's expression suddenly changed. She didn't expect Lin Yu to speak up for Yun Nuan. In the past, he would always frown and look very impatient. What she liked most was that he disliked Yun Nuan, so that she could show her kindness.

"Brother Lin Yu, are you mistaken? Yun Nuan, Yun Nuan is just up to no good."

Seeing that Jiang Miao was about to move to another place to chat with that man, Lin Yu couldn't hold back any longer. He looked at Yun Xue with displeasure and decided to finish things quickly.

“Yun Nuan is fine, the problem is with you. You know how your Yun family treated Yun Nuan, I don’t need to say more. So, Yun Xue, if you feel guilty, go and apologize to Yun Nuan.”

After saying that, he immediately caught up with the two people who were heading to the small garden, his steps hurried and his expression tense.

"Brother Lin Yu, Brother Lin Yu!" Yun Xue called from behind, but he didn't turn his head.

Yunxue stomped her foot, biting her lip in resentment as she watched the departing figure. Another boy who had been watching her for a long time walked over, patted her shoulder, and smiled ambiguously.

"Hello, Miss Yun, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am Xiao Zhongyu. I'm very happy that you could come to the Xiao family's banquet today."

"Who are you?" Yunxue didn't recognize him, and his actions made her very uncomfortable, so she slightly distanced herself.

Xiao Zhongyu's face stiffened slightly, and a sinister look appeared between his brows, which disappeared when she looked over. He was wearing a white suit, with a handsome face, but his body was too thin to fill out the suit. He had dark circles under his eyes, and his complexion was not good.

"I am a member of the Xiao family. My cousin is Xiao Yunli. I have only been in S City for a short time. Please give me your guidance."

Yunxue's attitude softened considerably upon hearing that he was a member of the Xiao family, but she still felt a little uneasy. She smiled and greeted him.

The two hadn't been able to chat for long when Yunxue, unwilling to give up, went to find Lin Yu again. But to her surprise, she saw the two kissing as soon as she arrived in the garden.

She clenched her teeth tightly, her nails digging into her flesh without her noticing. In the rose-filled pavilion, the two were caught up in passion. At first, Jiang Miao struggled.

Lin Yu held her hands tightly, and she closed her eyes. The ambiguous atmosphere was rising, and even the evening breeze seemed to favor the two of them. Under the warm yellow light, rose petals fell softly, lingering around them.

"It seems we shouldn't disturb other people's good time, right? Miss Yun, would you mind having a drink together?"

Xiao Zhongyu, who was standing at the back, spoke up at some point.

Yunxue's eyes were filled with resentment and jealousy. Two lines of clear tears fell as she gritted her teeth and turned away without answering.

Xiao Zhongyu looked at the two people embracing each other, smiled slightly with a mocking smile, said nothing, and turned to catch up with Yun Xue.

After arriving home, the two ate something. They didn't eat much in the banquet hall; Yun Nuan couldn't eat much, and Qin Yan didn't touch such things.

While eating, Yun Nuan felt dizzy and lightheaded. This feeling was very familiar, like she was about to get a fever.

After finishing her meal, she quickly took a pill, told Qin Yan, and went back to her room. Qin Yan thought she was tired, so he didn't dare to disturb her. He just glanced at her carefully, thinking he would check on her later.

She forgot to put her medicine back in its place after she finished taking it. There were several bottles and jars of medicine, plus the loose ones. She takes more medicine in a day than he takes in a year.

His heart ached as if it were being pierced by countless needles. He hadn't paid attention to what kind of medicine she was taking before, but now that he knew, he realized the kind of suffering she was enduring.

The Yun Nuan described in the information was even more aloof, even naturally indifferent, because she was tormented by illness and no longer had the strength to do anything.

Qin Yan put the medicine away. The clock on the wall had already struck eleven. He rubbed his temples and turned his wheelchair upstairs.

Since he started using a wheelchair, he has rarely needed to socialize, and it's unexpected that he would one day find work tiring.

After washing up in his room, he paused as if he had thought of something, put down the towel, and hurriedly left the bedroom.

Yun Nuan's room wasn't properly closed, as if she hadn't had time or had forgotten.

But Yun Nuan would never forget such things before. She would even close the door for him when she entered his room and when she left.

"Thump!" Something fell and landed on the carpet with a dull thud.
