Lin Hongyu looked at her with his deep, dark eyes. In those captivating black eyes was a reflection of Luo Xiaoyi. His dark eyes were full of worry and concern. Looking at her, he felt incredibly heartbroken.
Now, the news and the internet are buzzing about it, so Lin Hongyu naturally knows everything.
What kind of hurt did his beloved woman endure? His heart ached so much it was breaking. He thought that his withdrawal would bring happiness to his beloved woman, but he never expected that that bastard Ou Zihan would hurt his sweetheart like this. He wanted to tear that bastard Ou Zihan to pieces!
Seeing the face he had longed for day and night, the face was still pure and beautiful, with black hair flowing down her shoulders. However, her complexion had become pale and bloodless. Even her once pink lips had turned pale. She was wearing a light pink velvet loungewear. Her thin body looked even thinner and more frail in the loose clothes, as if a gust of wind could blow her over.
He felt extremely distressed, and his eyes reddened.
His large hand ruffled her soft black hair. "Xiaoyi, you've lost a lot of weight. I brought you some nutritional supplements so you can take good care of yourself." He handed the bag of supplements to Luo Xiaoyi.
"Hongyu, thank you for coming to see me." She lowered her head, reached out and took the bag. In that moment of looking down, she suddenly felt like crying. Hongyu was warm; deep in her heart, there was always a place for him, like a family member, bringing sunshine to her cold and hard-won heart.
To stop herself from crying, she quickly distracted herself and went to get slippers for Hongyu.
"Xiaoyi, it's alright, I can take it myself. I used to come to this house often, it's so familiar to me, you don't have to be so polite." Lin Hongyu said, and he found a pair of slippers in the shoe cabinet even faster than Luo Xiaoyi and put them on.
“Oh right.” Luo Xiaoyi was slightly taken aback. Yes, she, Hongyu, and Luo Bin used to be so familiar with each other, like a family. Now, everything has changed.
Luo Xiaoyi was stunned, recalling the days of the past, so carefree and happy, unlike now, when all that remained was a body full of pain.
Lin Hongyu sat down on the sofa, and Luo Xiaoyi brewed him a cup of freshly ground coffee, which she then handed to him.
"You still remember my favorite cappuccino? Thank you." Lin Hongyu looked at her with his handsome, captivating black eyes, his eyes slightly moist, his voice a little hoarse. She had thought he was a forgotten corner of the world.
To his utter astonishment, she actually remembered his taste. It was such a trivial thing, yet it moved him to tears.
With a dignified and elegant posture, he picked up the coffee cup, took a small sip, and looked quite pleased. Since being separated from Xiaoyi for so long, he had never been able to eat anything, but this coffee was incredibly sweet, as if it had stimulated his taste buds, allowing him to finally taste a bit of sweetness in his bitter love.
He wished this scene could stand still, that time could stop, and that this feeling of happiness could last forever...
"Yes, I remember all your habits. You're like family to me." She looked at him and said sincerely. She was already very happy to have people like them in her life who weren't family, but were closer than family.
The first half of her sentence moved Lin Hongyu to his core, but the second half, the word "family," plunged him into an abyss.
His heart clenched again.
He only wants to be her lover, even if it takes his whole life... Xiaoyi, will you give me a chance?
So when he learned that Xiaoyi had resigned, he was overjoyed. He finally had the opportunity to keep Xiaoyi by his side under the pretext of work.
"Xiaoyi, I went to the medical school to look for you today, but the nurse said you resigned. Our Lin family is also involved in the pharmaceutical industry. I have a dedicated drug research institute that is developing new drugs recently, and I'm short-staffed. You're an expert in this field, so I was wondering if you could come and help me?"
“I think you, as a technician, should join us as an equity investor. That way, you can share the profits with the company.” As he spoke, Lin Hongyu handed her the drug development plan and the equity transfer agreement.
Luo Xiaoyi accepted it. Drug development had always been her favorite area. A glint flashed in her dark eyes. She was grateful to have such a good institution training her, and Lin Hongyu was clearly helping her by giving her shares.
In that case, as long as she, who has invested in the drug, focuses on developing the drug, the dividends once the drug is successfully developed will be a considerable sum of money. Originally, Lin Hongyu could have just hired her and paid her a salary; there was no need to give her dividends.
Lin Hongyu respected her intellectual property rights and put himself in her shoes, which moved her deeply.
Since deciding to become a single mother, she has been under immense pressure. Raising a child is no easy task; how much money does it cost? She has now left the Ou Group, lost her job, and has no savings. She has also returned the money Ou Zihan gave her. Her top priority now is to earn money.
What Lin Hongyu mentioned was an excellent opportunity for her to make money.

She was starting to feel something for him. But...
"But I'm just a junior doctor, not a senior professional researcher. This probably won't work. Even if I go, I won't be able to convince people. They'll think I got in through connections. I don't want that."
Luo Xiaoyi said with some melancholy. She was always like this, wanting to rely on her own true abilities.
Lin Hongyu knew her well. She was a woman with great pride who never thought of using connections to achieve her goals. She was down-to-earth and took things one step at a time. Lin Hongyu admired her for that.
He'd seen countless women who craved social climbing, were vain, and sought something for nothing, always dreaming of having everything by hooking up with a rich man. Little did they know how much rich men despised such vain women—hypocritical, lacking sincerity, willing to do anything for any man, as long as he had money.
Which man would like a woman like that?
Otherwise, in this hypocritical and decadent world, Lin Hongyu would have found Luo Xiaoyi to be different and caught his eye. That's just how principled she is; even if Lin Hongyu lowered himself and offered to climb up to her, she wouldn't.
However, this Luo Xiaoyi drove him crazy because he couldn't seduce her no matter what he did. He used to hate vain women, but now that he had truly fallen in love with a woman, he realized that money didn't matter. For this woman, he was willing to give up everything, as long as she was willing to come to his side.
Luo Xiaoyi is not greedy for money, but is persistent in pursuing her career. Based on this, she is also a lure.
Therefore, Lin Hongyu was prepared and, fearing she wouldn't accept it, devised a way to make her accept it.
"Do you think just anyone can get into Lin's Pharmaceutical Research Institute? This requires passing a nationwide standardized test. If you don't pass, even if I'm the president, I'm powerless to help you. Get ready, the test is in three days at 10 a.m.
