Sheng Xin was speechless. She slowly sat back down in her chair and stared blankly as Lin Zhibai left.
She had thought a lot about Lin Zhibai's excuses for brushing her off.
But to my complete surprise, he said that it was Gu Fanyan's beauty that attracted him.
Such a statement is flawless.
But it also made her feel suffocated and had nowhere to vent her anger.
She looked up and saw Lin Zhibai walking across the street through the glass window.
Isn't that where she just met Gu Fanyan?
Could it be that Gu Fanyan and Lin Zhibai are playing a trick on her?
Gu Fanyan didn't want to go back to the hospital to lie down, so she strolled around two streets and found a very stylish bookstore-cafe, so she went in and found a corner to stay alone.
"A young girl's dream?" A soft scoff suddenly rang out. "Sister Fanyan, this seems a bit inappropriate for someone your age."
Gu Fanyan took down the book, glanced at Lin Zhibai in surprise, and then looked down at her watch.
"What, do you think my time with Shengxin was too short?" he asked.
"I don't understand what you're talking about." Gu Fanyan pursed her lips, raised the book again, and covered her face.
His gaze was piercing.
“Sheng Xin and I broke up,” Lin Zhibai continued.
Gu Fanyan remained silent, but her brows were furrowed behind the cover of her book.
"Because I have a new goal," he added.
Gu Fanyan couldn't stay silent any longer. "Lin Zhibai, I'm not interested in chatting with you. If there's nothing else, you can leave."
“My new target is you,” he said.
Gu Fanyan put down the book and revealed her face.
"You're finally willing to look at me when you talk," Lin Zhibai said with a half-smile. "Gu Fanyan, be my girlfriend."
"Not interested," she replied coldly.
“You can be my wife too,” he offered another option.
Gu Fanyan sat up straight and looked at him seriously: "Lin Zhibai, I have already made it clear that I don't want anything to do with you. If you say such things again, I can call the police."
Lin Zhibai smiled and said, "Gu Fanyan, you're not going to stay single for the rest of your life, are you? Since you're going to get married eventually, with my qualifications, I should be in your top three choices."
"Of course, if I'm ranked third, it's definitely because there are no people in the top two positions."
Gu Fanyan: ...
She prepared to get up and leave.
He also got up and walked out of the bookstore with her.
“You can think about it. I’ll wait for your answer,” he said.
"Before I give you my answer, could you please stop appearing in front of me?" Gu Fanyan's beautiful eyes flickered slightly. She would set the time for giving her answer 200 years from now.
“I can agree to your request, since I took the initiative first,” Lin Zhibai nodded slightly. “I’ll give you an hour to think about it, that’s enough.”
Gu Fanyan: ...
He can pretend she didn't say anything.
One of them quickened their pace, while the other followed closely behind, completely unaware that Sheng Xin was watching everything from a short distance away.
She almost ground all her teeth to powder.
Back at the hospital, Gu Fanyan had just entered when she turned around and closed the ward door.
"No one is allowed to come in without my permission," Gu Fanyan said, raising her voice. "Otherwise, I will not cooperate with the treatment."
The assistants and nannies nodded repeatedly, filled with surprise.
Actually, these words were meant for Lin Zhibai.
Lin Zhibai gradually withdrew his hand from the door.
He knew Gu Fanyan well; when she went crazy, she was capable of anything.
He moved to a chair by the door against the wall and sat down, remaining silent without saying a word.
I sat there for several hours.
At this moment, the nanny came out of the ward and said to the assistant, "My young lady is asleep. Please prepare some cheese. It's her favorite thing to eat after she wakes up."
Lin Zhibai stopped his assistant and said softly, "I want it with blueberry juice."
A slight smile appeared on the nanny's lips.
Young Master Lin is indeed very good to their young lady.
Late at night, the nanny fell asleep on the sofa.
The corridor also became quiet.
Gu Fanyan stared wide-eyed at the ceiling, unable to sleep.
Just then, her phone beeped with a message from Sheng Xin.
[Sister Fanyan, my conversation with Brother Zhibai has fallen apart.]
I'm very sad, but thank you anyway.
[Sister Fanyan, could you please pass on a message to Brother Zhibai for me? I want to meet him sooner in my next life.]
Gu Fanyan was stunned for a moment, then immediately dialed the number, but the other party had already indicated that the phone was switched off.
She got up and went outside the ward, handing her phone to the figure sitting on the bench.
Showing him the text message is the best solution right now.
Lin Zhibai glanced at his phone screen and a self-deprecating smile appeared on his lips: "For Sheng Xin's sake, you've finally agreed to come out and see me."
Gu Fanyan was speechless: "Lin Zhibai, have you thought this through? You two broke up at noon, and she jumped off a building that night. Can you get away with this?"
"I can't shake off the responsibility, so what about you?" Lin Zhibai retorted.
Why was Sheng Xin there at noon? How did she manage to meet him?
Gu Fanyan took several deep breaths. "Lin Zhibai, you're ruthless."
She strode forward.
Lin Zhibai followed.
On the way, Lin's mother's assistant made two phone calls, urging Lin Zhibai to return to the hotel quickly.
Sheng Xin stood on the hotel's rooftop, where hotel staff and local firefighters arrived.
Sheng Xin is serious!
Several large air cushions have been laid out downstairs at the hotel!
The crowd grew larger and larger, forming several layers deep, with people pointing their phones at the rooftop!
There aren't any skyscrapers with dozens of floors in the area; this hotel is only eight and a half stories high.
The downside is that by adjusting the focus of their phones, onlookers can get a rough idea of what Sheng Xin looks like!
Gu Fanyan looked up and saw Sheng Xin sitting blankly on the edge of the rooftop. The evening breeze billowed her shirt, as if it could blow her off at any moment!
"Young Master, Madam wants you to go to her room first." The assistant stopped Lin Zhibai, who was rushing to the rooftop, at the corner of the hall.
Gu Fanyan ignored it and wanted to go up alone first.
However, her assistant stopped her, saying, "Miss Gu, Madam requests that you come with her."
Gu Fanyan frowned: "Am I also under Madam Lin's jurisdiction?"
The assistant replied, "This concerns the reputation of both the Lin and Gu families. Please ask Miss Gu to make a trip."
Gu Fanyan and Lin Zhibai entered Lin's mother's room together.
Lin's mother looked up, and the two figures standing side by side clearly came into her view, causing her gaze to darken instinctively.
Even though she had invited them herself, the sight of the two of them together still made her uncomfortable.
“Auntie, please speak frankly,” Gu Fanyan said, getting straight to the point. “The local television station will be here soon, and that’s when the reputations of the Lin and Gu families will truly be threatened!”
“You can’t all go up to the rooftop together to persuade her!” Lin’s mother said without hesitation, “The three of you appearing at the same time will easily make people think of a love triangle.”
Her words were harsh, but her reasoning was sound.
Gossip reporters write whatever they want, without any limits.
Lin's mother then said, "Gu Fanyan, you go alone."
