After returning home that day, Lin Qingbai never cheered up again. He was listless and didn't even go to the company. He stayed in bed all day, and when it came to meals, he would just eat a little bit when someone brought it to him, or he wouldn't eat at all.
No matter who tried to persuade him, he wouldn't listen. He stared blankly ahead, as if he had no hope for the world.
"You beast! Do you plan to spend the rest of your life in bed? The company doesn't care, do you have any sense of responsibility? So many people in the company are waiting for you."
Grandpa Lin stormed in, angrily turning on the light with a bang. His voice was furious as he looked at his grandson huddled in bed, instantly filled with rage.
"Grandpa, I was wrong. I shouldn't have disobeyed you. I regret it. I love Xun Ting! I love her!" Lin Qingbai closed her eyes and shed tears of remorse.
If he had treated Xunting even slightly better back then, things wouldn't have come to this.
"Don't cry, you're a grown man, sigh..." Grandpa Lin sighed helplessly. This grandson of his had never shed a tear since he was a child, and he had never seen him cry even when he was in pain.
Today, however, she shed tears for Xunting, which shows that she truly cares. But it's all too late now. Xunting is a stubborn child; once she sets her mind on something, she never looks back.
Just like when he was trying to clear Ai Lin's name, no matter how much the old man tried to persuade her, Xun Ting would rather be bullied by this beastly grandson than break off the engagement.
Lin Qingbai suddenly threw off the covers and got out of bed, stumbling over to his grandfather's side.
Tears streamed down her face, her trembling hands gripping her grandfather's trouser leg. "Grandpa, please help me think of a way, okay? You must have a way to bring Xunting back to me, right?"
Grandpa Lin only had one grandson, Lin Qingbai, so he naturally felt sorry for him. But there was nothing he could do about it, and he cruelly pushed his grandson's hand away.
"Grandpa will find you a few more girls who are even prettier and more obedient than Xunting, okay?"
"No! I only want Xunting, I only want her." Lin Qingbai knelt on the ground, his voice completely hoarse, crying so hard he could barely breathe, like a child, his tall body trembling constantly.
"They were delivered right to your doorstep, and you didn't cherish them. What am I, an old man, supposed to do now?"
"I didn't know back then, I didn't know I would love her so much, I never thought..." Lin Qingbai gasped for breath, her voice unusually nasal.
Veins bulged on his large hands, and he seemed oblivious to the pain, digging his fingers into the ground with a look that seemed to want to dig a hole in it.
Grandpa Lin sighed helplessly and could only utter these four words, "Forget about her."
"I can't forget, I can't forget..."

Wen Xiyang led Fu Xi to a villa on an island. "You should stay here for a while to avoid trouble. It's relatively safe here."
"You bought this?" Fu Xi looked around and couldn't help but sigh. Novels are novels, they can even buy an entire island.
But she was terrified of living in such a place.
"Yes, let's go in first."
"good."
Fu Xi had been under the sun for two hours and had transformed into an adult. She immediately felt a sense of relief throughout her body.
Wen Xiyang stood by and witnessed the whole process.
"Haha, I got enough sun exposure, so I turned back to normal." Fu Xi scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed and awkward about suddenly growing so big.
