Luo Xiaoyi instantly understood that Ou Zihan was deliberately refusing to answer her call and had simply hung up! She angrily threw her phone on the bed and started eating her meal in a huff.
What exactly does Ou Zihan want? Going against him doesn't work, and now that he's backed down, even calling him isn't enough. How can a grown man be so petty?
She had only managed a couple of bites of rice when she felt so angry that she felt tightness in her chest and shortness of breath. She had no appetite at all; she was so angry she was full, how could she possibly eat? This Ou Zihan was simply an annoying devil. What were Luo Bin and Qian Rui going to do now?
If this keeps dragging on, they'll suffer even more for every minute it's delayed. No, she has to find Ou Zihan now, no matter what. She has to find a way to rescue them.
She called out to Butler Zhao and struggled to get out of bed, but two caregivers quickly helped her up.
"Young Madam, you're so weak, you can barely stand, and you haven't eaten. Where are you going?" Butler Zhao came in and saw that the young madam was so weak and hadn't eaten. How could this be allowed? If Young Master Ou found out, wouldn't he hold him accountable?
"Butler Zhao, Ou Zihan isn't answering my calls. I have to go find him. This matter can't be delayed any longer. If it's delayed any longer, I'm afraid they'll all be dead."
Luo Xiaoyi looked at him with clear black eyes, her face full of anxiety. She seemed to be in a state where she didn't care about her own life, but had to save Luo Bin and the others.
Butler Zhao thought for a moment, not expecting that Young Master Ou would not answer the young mistress's call. This time, Young Master Ou was really angry. This matter could not be made more complicated, so he grabbed Luo Xiaoyi's arm.
"Young Madam, you can't go. Young Master Ou will probably be here soon," Butler Zhao said helplessly. Now they could only let Young Master Ou make his decision; none of them dared to disobey his orders.
"Butler Zhao, are you confused? Don't you also want to save Qianrui? Why are you stopping me? Let me go." Luo Xiaoyi stared at him with question marks in her dark eyes.
“Young Madam, Young Master Ou is worried about your health and your safety. We haven’t even found the real culprit yet. If something happens to you while you’re running around like this, all of us here will be buried with you. Please understand my predicament.”
Butler Zhao was extremely distressed. What started as a minor argument between the couple had escalated into such a big and complicated matter. He couldn't understand it either.
Luo Xiaoyi plopped heavily onto the bed, her large, doll-like eyes unfocused and filled with confusion. What could she say? What could she do? Even the housekeeper Zhao had spoken; what could she possibly say?
Ou Zihan wouldn't let him out. A group of bodyguards surrounded the door, making it impossible for her to escape even if she had wings. Besides, with so many people's lives being used to blackmail her, she couldn't just act on impulse and harm so many people. How could she live with herself?
"But what should I do?" she murmured to herself, her empty, lifeless eyes staring at the wall.
"Young Madam, don't worry. You've already called Young Master Ou. Based on my understanding of him over the years, even if he's very angry, he'll call you back or come to see you soon. So, don't worry. Eat first and get well so you'll have the strength to fight Young Master Ou."
Butler Zhao quickly tried to persuade her. In fact, he had watched the young master grow up and seemed to understand him very well. However, the young master's personality was particularly fickle, and even someone as shrewd as him sometimes found it difficult to grasp and understand the young master's heart.
He sighed heavily in his heart. Everything was up to fate and depended on the young master's mood.
"Really?" Luo Xiaoyi looked at him with a skeptical gaze, but a glimmer of hope had already ignited in her eyes.
"Okay, let's eat. Is the food cold? I'll heat it up for you, or I'll make you a new one, but you'll have to wait a moment." Butler Zhao's service was impeccable.
"Yes, it's still warm." Luo Xiaoyi started eating properly now. She thought to herself that Butler Zhao was right when he said that only when you are full and have the strength can you fight against Ou Zihan, this devil.
Watching her eat heartily, Butler Zhao smiled knowingly. How could someone as gentle and kind as the young mistress have angered Young Master Ou like that? Could it be that Young Master Ou is making things difficult for himself?
He felt somewhat helpless. How could an outsider like him possibly understand matters of the heart? Sometimes, even those directly involved don't know what's going on.
Luo Xiaoyi lay half-reclined on the bed. She couldn't even concentrate on reading her favorite medical books today. Like a white swan, she stretched her neck out and looked on expectantly.
This was the first time she had ever longed for Ou Zihan's return so much. She was obsessed, staring at her phone screen countless times, lost in thought. Every time she heard footsteps, she would look at the large window by the corridor to see if it was Ou Zihan. Unfortunately, she was always disappointed.
The entire day passed, from sunrise to sunset, but Ou Zihan still hadn't appeared. She bit her now slightly bloodshot lips, her clear black eyes filled with disappointment and melancholy, a deep sense of loss washing over her. Would Ou Zihan come back? Was he really not coming? Was he really ignoring her?
It was bedtime, and the hospital lights were already off. Luo Xiaoyi lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. She wondered how Luo Bin was doing, and how Qian Rui was doing.
A sharp, painful ache gripped her heart. What did Ou Zihan want? If he was going to kill or torture her, he should at least say something! Why was he just going to stay silent like this? Why was this man tormenting her like this?
This feeling of anticipation and waiting is truly agonizing...
You must be prepared to leave this kind of man as soon as possible. He's like a master of changing faces; who can have a heart that can handle that? Staying with him will only give you heart disease sooner or later.

At this moment, Luo Xiaoyi seemed to hear faint, familiar footsteps. She pricked up her ears and listened carefully. As the footsteps got closer and closer, yes, that's right, it was Ou Zihan's footsteps. His steps were always so steady and powerful. Her heart tightened.
When she looked up and saw Ou Zihan's tall, hazy figure in the window, her heart nearly jumped out of her chest. He really came? He finally came?
"Young Master, you've arrived. The Young Madam is already asleep." Butler Zhao's weathered voice trembled slightly. He cautiously observed the young master's expression in the dim light, which remained as frighteningly cold as ever.
"I didn't come to see her. I made an appointment with Dean Gong. I have something to discuss with him." Young Master Ou glanced at him with dissatisfaction, a hint of annoyance in his dark eyes.
"Oh, I'm getting senile." Butler Zhao quickly tried to save face. He thought to himself, "The president of the prestigious Ou Group, a leading figure in the financial world of Country A, wants to see the dean of my hospital? Wouldn't the dean rush over to pay his respects no matter where Young Master Ou is? Why would Young Master Ou need to come to my door in person?"
