Su Yun clenched her palms and stared at the ward window for a long time without moving.

Lin An stood in the corridor, watching the sunset rays shining on her pretty face, her eyelashes casting a faint shadow on her eyelids.

"Ms. Su."

Lin An walked closer and smiled at her gently through his gold-rimmed glasses: "Don't worry."

Su Yun nodded and raised the corner of her mouth slightly: "Thank you, Dr. Lin."

As they were talking, the door of the ward opened and Chen Juan was pushed back into the ward.

"Excuse me," Su Yun hurried after him, anxiously saying, "My mother..."

The doctor didn't even turn around.

"Wait for the results."

Lin An saw her worry and gently pushed open the door of the examination room.

When he came out again, he had an obvious smile on his face: "Good news, the tumor is starting to shrink, and the patient's body is more tolerant to the toxic reaction."

"If nothing unexpected happens, follow-up treatment can be arranged in a while."

Su Yun's eyes suddenly lit up.

This news made her very happy. She planned to take a nap in the ward and then work in the evening to earn money for her mother's continued treatment.

"Thank you, Dr. Lin. I'll go back to the ward first."

"Ms. Su..."

Lin An's tone was tentative.

“The cost of the next treatment will be higher.”

Su Yun paused and spoke in a firm voice.

"I'll find a way to deal with the money."

Lin An stood there, following her figure as she disappeared into the corridor.

A colleague passed him by.

"Doctor Lin, why are you standing there grinning like an idiot? Your mouth is stretched behind your ears!"

…

Back at the rental house, Su Yun chose a red off-shoulder fishtail skirt to change into.

This is the most suitable piece of clothing for tonight among the few I brought back.

She stroked her fingers over the silk fabric. She couldn't remember the last time she wore this skirt.

After going downstairs, this outfit quickly attracted the attention of countless people around.

The high-quality fishtail skirt from a luxury brand outlines her figure, while nude stilettos wrap her straight legs.

She also wore light makeup tonight.

It looks like a sweet, full Corolla rose.

Feeling those gazes, Su Yun took a deep breath and did not feel any discomfort.

Her eyes lit up slightly, and she felt a little...enjoyed.

She was supposed to be shining and standing under the spotlight.

It's obvious that she can live well if she only relies on herself.

But over the years, in order to be Mrs. Sheng, whom Sheng Huai loves, she has restrained her own brilliance.

Today is a charity party, and all the people coming are celebrities from Li City.

"The Blue Danube" started, the lights dimmed, and the dancers on the stage stretched their toes, spinning and jumping lightly, as light as a feather.

Sheng Huai was leaning against the door, dressed casually, with a cigarette between his slender fingers.

Amid the smoke, his eyes were fixed on the stage, naked possessiveness revealed in them.

The music stopped and a beam of strong light shone on Su Yun. She bent over and knelt, pressing her smooth forehead lightly against the back of his hand, thanking him gracefully, but her peripheral vision was searching everywhere.

When I was dancing just now, I always felt like someone was looking at me, but now when I look around, there is nothing.

Maybe I'm overthinking...

The crowd began to ballroom dance, and Su Yun sat in the dim light, waiting for the second performance.

From time to time, handsome men came to invite her to dance, but she always refused.

After a while, a thick stack of business cards was placed next to her.

Sheng Huai's face turned pale in the corner!

After the two dances, she went backstage to change her clothes and remove her makeup. The organizer was very satisfied with her performance today and gave her an extra tip of 500 yuan on top of the 3,000 yuan.

Su Yun was very happy and thanked him again and again before leaving.

She earned 3,500 yuan in two hours today. It was still early, so she planned to go to the mall to buy some nutritional supplements for her parents.

Seeing her leaving the club, Sheng Huai put out his cigarette and got out of the car, but before he could say anything, he saw her walking quickly in another direction.

Looking in that direction, he paused slightly, then started the car and followed.

Su Yun looked hurried as she ran to a grey Mercedes.

"Doctor Lin?"

“Why are you here!?”

"My mother..."

Lin An leaned against the car body and looked at her, smiling gently: "Don't worry, your mother is fine."

"I'm just," he hesitated, then continued, "just passing by."

So that’s how it is…

He opened the car door and bowed like a gentleman: "Where are you going, Miss Su? I'll take you there."

Su Yun smiled and pointed across the street: "I'm going to the mall across the street to buy some supplements for my parents."

"How about I go with you?" Seeing her silence, Lin An added, "After all, I am a doctor, so maybe I can give you some advice."

Su Yun did not refuse this time.

In the Rolls-Royce, Sheng Huai's face was already frozen. He sat in the car and watched her chatting with another man, and then they crossed the road shoulder to shoulder.

Before I knew it, the burning cigarette butts had burned my fingertips.

When they came out of the mall, it was already late. Lin An took a few quick steps, leaned forward and opened the car door: "I'll take you there."

Su Yun shook her head: "I'll just take a taxi."

"It's almost 12 o'clock now. It's not safe for a girl to go home alone so late."

"Oh well."

Shortly after the Mercedes-Benz left, a black Rolls-Royce slowly started up behind it.

The car stopped at the red light.

Lin An turned sideways and looked at the moonlight shining on her body. Her long hair covered her eyebrows and eyes, so her expression at the moment could not be seen.

This slim, fair girl was completely different from what was described in the news.

Although it looks as fragile as a dodder, it is actually an orchid in the valley, strong and patient.

Su Yun suddenly looked up and met his eyes. Their gazes intertwined and stopped for half a second, then she turned her face away again.

"Doctor Lin, I'm almost there. Please stop at the intersection ahead."

There was silence in the car.

Su Yun understood what was implied in that look just now, and she also knew that Lin An was a good man, but she knew her current situation better and knew Sheng Huai better.

If he knew that I was taking Lin An's car home tonight, I wonder what kind of trouble he would cause.

Su Yun thought that she was not afraid of Sheng Huai, but she didn't want to involve innocent people.

Lin An understood what she was thinking, so he stopped insisting and slowly parked the car at the intersection.

"Ms. Su."

Lin An said: "Miss Su...if you need help, anything, you can come to me."

Su Yun stood under the street light and watched the Mercedes-Benz disappear at the entrance of the alley before she slowly walked downstairs to her home.

This area on the outskirts of the city is extremely remote, with dim street lights every few hundred meters on the road. There are no pedestrians at this time, only the night wind blowing the leaves forward alone.

Just as Su Yun was about to turn on the flashlight on her phone, a large hand grabbed her tightly from behind.

She was strangled to the point where she could hardly move, and the more she struggled, the tighter the restraint became.

During the struggle, she was pressed into the shadow of the wall at the corner of the street.

Nose tip to nose tip, warm breath lingering.

In the moonlight, she saw a livid face.

"Sheng Huai!"

"You're following me!"

Sheng Huai stared at her with his dark and narrow eyes, with blazing flames in them!

Su Yun wanted to struggle, but the man grabbed her slender wrist and held it tightly.

She is now under his control!

Cars passed by on the road from time to time, and the residual light of the car lights flickered on the wall, illuminating the pale face.

His thin lips came close to hers, and he suppressed his anger in a hoarse voice: "What is your relationship with that man?!"

Su Yun turned her face away, trying to break free.

But the next moment, he was embraced again...

"Sheng... Huai!"
