Lin Jingting, her face flushed with anger, shouted, "Niannian already has me, she can't possibly want Li Feibai anymore, all your pestering won't work."
Chu Nian looked at this person who only talked and didn't fight, wondering why this person was so human now. Had he really forgotten that he was a ghost?
Li Feiying walked over and said, "Sir, I advise you not to be fooled by Bai Nian. She's a con artist who has been swindling money and taking advantage of my brother for years..."
"Deceive...deceive for sex?!" Lin Jingting exclaimed in surprise, interrupting Li Feiying.
Chu Nian sensed that this guy was using his mental power to probe her: Damn it, we've known each other for days, you've already probed everything you needed to! I really want to punch him!
Lin Jingting clearly realized that his previous investigation was correct, confirming that the woman had not "deceived" him at all. He turned to Li Feiying and shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about? You think you can fool a ghost?!"
He paused, then added, "Besides, your brother isn't exactly good-looking, he's not worth fooling at all, humph!"
Li Feiying was so charmed by his angry eye-rolling and cold snorting that she almost had a nosebleed, and couldn't help but reach out to pull Lin Jingting.
Lin Jingting, as if startled by her action, quickly stepped behind Chu Nian, feigning fear, and demanded, "What are you doing?"
Li Feiying's outstretched hand froze in mid-air for a while before she lowered it, saying with a helpless wry smile, "Am I that scary?"
Lin Jingting had already grabbed Chu Nian's other arm and was shaking it, pleadingly saying, "Niannian, let's leave quickly. The people here are all bad people; they all covet my good looks."
Chu Nian turned to look at Lin Jingting, whose face was still youthful and whose voice and tone had changed from their usual coldness to a somewhat childish one, and said helplessly, "It seems like this is the first day I've met you."
What's wrong with this old ghost?!
"What's wrong?!" Lin Jingting asked, and before Chu Nian could answer, she pointed at Li's mother, who was grabbing Chu Nian's other hand, and shouted, "Hey, let go! I told you to let go!"
Chu Nian forcefully shook off Li's mother's hand: Li's mother was probably so flustered by Lin Jingting's slick actions that she almost lost her mind—no wonder, this old ghost was just too handsome, causing her to loosen her grip on Chu Nian's hand, which is why Chu Nian was able to easily shake her off.
"Hurry up!" Lin Jingting grabbed Chu Nian and quickly escaped from the ward.
As soon as Chu Nian left the ward, she felt something was off. Lin Jingting was not only holding her hand with one hand, but his other hand was also on her shoulder. This posture... really looked like that of a current boyfriend.
She tried to slap away Lin Jingting's restless hands, but then she heard Li's father's roar coming from the ward behind her: "You old slut, you see someone's child is pretty and you want to throw yourself at them? You old thing, you're in your fifties, throwing yourself at a teenager, do you think they'll listen to you?"
Then a series of crashing and smashing sounds rang out, accompanied by Li's mother's howls and Li Feiying's screams.
She belatedly realized why Li's father had been sitting silently by the bed; he was probably immobilized by Lin Jingting's spell!
Lin Jingting deliberately seduced the mother and daughter to make Li's father lose his temper and punish them, which is why he only reacted now.
When Li's mother saw Lin Jingting just now, although she didn't seem to want to "seduce" him like Li Feiying did, her old eyes were glued to Lin Jingting's extremely beautiful face, completely forgetting about her own husband. It's no wonder that Li's father felt uncomfortable watching this.
Soon, the situation in the ward caught the attention of the nurses, and one of them shouted, "Quiet! This is a hospital. If you want to fight, go outside!"
Chu Nian was led to the elevator by Lin Jingting, who put his arm around her shoulder and held her hand.
When the elevator doors opened, they were surprised to see Chen Qingqing with a bandage on her forehead.
Chen Qingqing asked in surprise, "Niannian, are you leaving?"
Chu Nian asked, "Have you taken care of everything regarding the car accident? Are you alright?"
Chen Qingqing: "I'm fine." She paused, then added, "You've come all this way, won't you stay a little longer? Fei Bai, he..."
“He has his family to take care of him,” Lin Jingting continued, “and the Li family doesn’t like Niannian. They all seem to like you and want you to be Li Feibai’s wife, so you should stay!”
After saying that, he reached out as if to pull Chen Qingqing out of the elevator, but stopped when his hand was about to reach her, urging her, "Hurry up and get out, we need to take the elevator."
Chu Nian looked at him strangely again: Lin Jingting's attitude is all talk and no action, and he has changed from his arrogant and domineering style to a soft and cute one. This is definitely not his own style. Who taught him this?
Standing at the elevator entrance, Chen Qingqing watched Lin Jingting put his arm around Chu Nian's shoulder, looking extremely intimate, and felt a pang of resentment. She didn't know what she lacked compared to Bai Nian, yet Lin Jingting hadn't even given her a second glance.
Someone as outstanding as Lin Jingting—handsome, dashing, and tall—and clearly accomplished at a young age, why did I meet him later than Bai Nian? If I had met him before Bai Nian did, would the relationship between the three of us be different now?
She once again subjectively ignored the fact that this outstanding person was not actually human.
"Hurry up and come down!" Lin Jingting urged again.
Chu Nian noticed that Chen Qingqing's feet were starting to move with difficulty. She felt that Chen Qingqing probably didn't want to move at all, and didn't want the two of them to enter the elevator alone, but she was still "forced"... to move.
Chu Nian's face remained expressionless, pretending not to notice that Lin Jingting was using his mental power.
Lin Jingting finally managed to pull Chu Nian onto the elevator, and Chen Qingqing turned around to follow, but the elevator doors closed quickly.
Logically speaking, the elevators in the hospital ward should be very busy during the day, with people coming to visit patients. However, at this moment, only Chu Nian and Lin Jingting were in the elevator.
Most importantly, Lin Jingting clung to Chu Nian like an octopus.
Chu Nian would never believe that this wasn't Lin Jingting, that old lecher, pulling the strings.
She remained expressionless, her voice icy as she questioned, "Lin Jingting, what exactly are you trying to do?"
Lin Jingting: "I'm afraid the elevator will malfunction again!"
Chu Nian: Do you think I wouldn't know that the elevator malfunction was your doing?
Lin Jingting continued to act cute: "I might have developed a sequela of elevator malfunction."
Chu Nian: "I think you have a lewd and obnoxious syndrome."
Lin Jingting's voice was even cuter: "Well, since I'm sick, you have to take responsibility for me."
Chu Nian gritted her teeth and said, "Lin Jingting, as an old ghost who has lived for thousands of years, an ancestor in other people's eyes, how can you be so shameless?"
Lin Jingting didn't speak, but Chu Nian felt his hands, which were clinging to her body, tighten even more, showing no intention of letting go.
