As more and more people gathered to watch, He Lingchuan stood still, saying nothing.
Although Cao Xue has already undergone heart surgery, her body still cannot withstand too much excitement.
She took a deep breath and looked at the person in front of her nervously: "Brother Lingchuan, I don't need you to give me an answer now, I can wait."
"You don't need to wait."
He Lingchuan remained steadfast in his stance, and no matter how Cao Xue confessed her feelings, it was to no avail.
Seeing Cao Xue's skin growing paler and paler, He Lingchuan couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
He grabbed Cao Xue's hand and started walking out, saying, "I'll take you back."
Cao Xue is probably still recovering; staying outside for too long would not do her any good.
He Lingchuan held her hand, but Cao Xue stubbornly refused to leave: "Since you've already said that, why are you still bothering with me?"
Cao Xue pushed He Lingchuan away and left the coffee shop alone.
He Lingchuan stood there, watching the direction she left, unsure whether he should chase after her.
If he goes after them now, Cao Xue will probably misunderstand again. But if he doesn't go, what if something happens to Cao Xue?
He Lingchuan hesitated, but then he heard someone urging him.
"Why aren't you chasing after them yet? What if something happens?"
"Exactly, are you planning to wait until something bad happens before you go if you don't go now?"
"Hurry up and chase after them!"
He Lingchuan was still hesitating, but after hearing their words, he didn't care about anything else and turned around and ran out.
He searched everywhere but couldn't find her, but then he received a call from Cao Wei.
As soon as He Lingchuan answered the phone, Cao Wei bombarded him with questions: "Is Cao Xue with you? Where did you take my sister?"
He Lingchuan frowned, his expression not very good: "I'm looking for her. If you have time, come and help me find her."
Where is she?
Cao Wei's tone grew increasingly solemn, as if he were the one who caused Cao Xue's departure.
"I also want to know where she is."
He Lingchuan gradually lost his patience. His tone turned somber, carrying a hint of warning: "Since you knew your sister would run around, you should have kept an eye on her. I didn't tell her to come find me. She ran off on her own. If something happens to her, who will be responsible?"
He Lingchuan vented his frustrations before hanging up the phone.
In order to find Cao Xue as soon as possible, he had no choice but to ask all the staff in the mall for help.
But Cao Xue was determined not to show up, and He Lingchuan had no other choice but to place his hopes on Cao Wei.
When Cao Wei called again, it was already evening. He Lingchuan was still searching for someone in the mall. He sounded tired and weak: "Did you find the person?"
"She came back on her own."
As if afraid Cao Xue would hear, He Lingchuan heard the door close, and Cao Wei angrily asked him, "What exactly did you do to my sister? Why did she come back crying?"
He Lingchuan rubbed his messy hair, intending to go home, and replied irritably, "I just did what a grown man should do. If you really care about your sister, then you should talk to her and tell her not to put all her attention on me."
He Lingchuan admitted that he did have a good impression of Cao Xue at first. She was smart and quick-witted, and most importantly, she was very sensible. He also had a lot to talk about with her.
If Cao Xue weren't so young, he really intended to continue their relationship.
Only today did he realize that Cao Xue was just a child. Her so-called maturity was mainly due to her illness. Now that she was cured, she naturally began to pursue other things, such as relationships.
Cao Xue is now like a child who can't get candy, crying and begging He Lingchuan to give her the candy.
The key question is, how can you just give away candy like that?
He Lingchuan sighed helplessly. She just hoped that Cao Xue could see the truth and stop thinking about being with her all the time.
He took a taxi home, and as soon as he entered the door, he felt a strong sense of anger.
He Lingchuan ignored him and walked straight into his room.
"Nan Chen and Bei Chen are insisting on seeing you today."
Shen Yanxi put her hands on her hips, blocking He Lingchuan's path.
It was clear that she was very dissatisfied.
"I thought you were working in the lab, and I even helped you lie to those two. I never imagined you were fooling around with other women."
He Lingchuan raised his eyebrows slightly. He was exhausted, both physically and mentally, and had no energy to deal with Shen Yanxi.
But he still patiently asked her, "Did you follow me again?"
"Does this still need to be tracked?"
Shen Yanxi threw her phone at He Lingchuan: "See for yourself."
He Lingchuan picked up his phone, completely bewildered. In the video, he and Cao Xue were pulling and tugging at each other, and every word they said was clearly recorded.
He Lingchuan handed the phone to Shen Yanxi: "Didn't you hear everything? I rejected her."
Is this your reason for going on blind dates?
Shen Yanxi narrowed her eyes, her gaze cold and menacing, sending chills down one's spine.
He Lingchuan looked up and met her gaze. He could clearly see the stern hatred in Shen Yanxi's eyes: "What's wrong with me going on blind dates? I'm single now. What's wrong with me finding a woman to live with?"
Shen Yanxi was surprised that he was so self-righteous. She looked at the person in front of her in disbelief: "I want to tell you that if you have another woman, I will definitely take the child away. I will not allow my child to call someone else 'Mom'."
“The children are with you, and I promise you I won’t let them have contact with other women.”
He Lingchuan was really tired and wanted to end the conversation as soon as possible.
He paused, then continued, "Since you're already with Zhou Mingyan, it's not unreasonable for me to find another woman, is it?"
Seeing that Shen Yanxi was about to speak, He Lingchuan interrupted her without hesitation: "I haven't interfered with you, so you don't need to interfere with me either. As for the children, let me tell you, if you really take them away, I will find them even if I have to dig three feet into the ground."
After saying the last word, He Lingchuan walked straight to his room without turning his head.
He had only taken two steps when Shen Yanxi called out to him from behind: "Then let's not talk about the child. He Lingchuan, don't forget that you still owe the Shen family 100 million. I'm about to start a new project, so you'd better hurry up and pay it off."
He Lingchuan paused. He knew that Shen Yanxi wouldn't refuse the money. No matter how nicely she said before, it was just polite talk.
"I see."
His expression was calm, as if the hundred million was just a hundred dollars.
Shen Yanxi was somewhat surprised and continued, "But if you cut off contact with other women, I wouldn't mind helping you make up for this 100 million."
"No need to trouble yourself."
He Lingchuan turned to the side and looked at Shen Yanxi, saying, "I'll handle my own affairs. You have so much money, you should use it for investment. I'm just your ex-husband, I can't afford to be your husband."
