"I didn't do it for you." Qin Fangang's slender fingers tapped on the GPS interface. His deep voice was emotionless. "Since it's a business under the Lu Clan's name, of course I have to take a look. Why else do you think I came back?"
Xin Yu was stunned by his words. She opened her mouth but found that she couldn't refute him.
Since he had already said so, if she continued to be coy, it would seem a little pretentious.
"This." Several hospitals popped up on the GPS. Xin Yu reached out her fair finger and tapped on one of them.
Just as Qin Fan nodded, the car made a turn at the intersection ahead. He followed the prompt in the navigation and drove forward.
After a 20-minute drive, the car arrived at the hospital.
Although she had been in England for the past five years, she was well aware that her father's condition had always been stable. However, in the past two months, the attending doctor had called her frequently and asked her to come back for a visit.
"Aren't you going in?"
Qin Fangang's slender body leaned against the side of the table. He had one hand in the pocket of his trousers and the other holding a cigarette. The way he squinted his eyes as he smoked was a charming sight no matter how one looked at it.
He looked at Xin Yu as she turned around. The corners of his lips curved. His gaze was unfathomable through the lingering smoke. "Do you want me to go in with you?"
Xin Yu naturally wanted Qin Fangang to accompany her inside.
Previously, he had said that he was going to inspect the hospital under the Lu Clan's name. Now that he was leaning against the car and smoking, he looked extremely nonchalant. How could anyone tell that he was there for an inspection?
Xin Yu couldn't be bothered with him. After all, he was the one who had driven her here. She thanked him and entered the hospital.
Leng Dongming's condition had been particularly erratic in the past two months. When the attending doctor saw Xin Yu, he briefly explained it to her.
In the past two years, Leng Dongming's condition had improved significantly. However, two months ago, perhaps because he suddenly remembered something or saw something, his condition worsened again. He even injured a nurse who was taking care of him.
However, this hospital belonged to the Lu family, and Leng Dongming's identity was special. Naturally, it wouldn't affect him much.
The attending doctor told Xin Yu that he had been calling her name for the past two months, which was why he asked her to come back to see him.
After learning about the situation, Xin Yu went to see Leng Dongming in the ward.
He was wearing a blue striped hospital gown and a thick gray coat. He stood by the window and stared at a certain spot. He did not even notice that someone had entered.
Xin Yu called him "Dad". After a while, he turned around.
He had lost a lot of weight, and his complexion was not very good.
It had been almost a year since she last saw him. Xin Yu was a little worried that he wouldn't recognize her. Unexpectedly, Leng Dongming suddenly walked up to her and held her hand with a smile. He said, "Daughter, you're back from school? Your mom is cooking. There's your favorite broccoli today. I bought it especially for you when I went to the market. Remember to eat more later. Look, you've lost weight recently. "
Xin Yu fought back the tears in her eyes. Her voice was hoarse and trembling. "… Dad, I-I will. How have you been? "
"How could I not be well? Your mom, on the other hand, has been preoccupied recently. I don't know what she's hiding from me. I even saw her secretly crying last night. "
"… Dad, mom, she …"
"Your mom is calling me. I'll go help her in the kitchen."
Leng Dongming suddenly shook off Xin Yu's hand and walked around the room like a headless fly. In the end, he went into the bathroom and didn't come out for a long time.
Xin Yu wanted to follow him in, but the nurse had already pushed the cart over. "Miss Leng, it's time for your father to take his medicine."
She knew that her father had to rest after taking the medicine, and she couldn't stay too long. This was not an ordinary hospital. In the end, she watched the nurse coax and trick her father into taking the medicine. After watching him fall asleep peacefully, she got up and left the ward.
She didn't expect to see Qin Fangang's car parked at the entrance of the hospital. The handsome man was still leaning against the car door calmly. What was different was that the cigarette between his fingers was gone.
"I just came out and didn't eat anything. Take me to eat something now."
This was not an invitation, but a statement. After Qin Fangang finished speaking, he had already opened the door of the front passenger seat and motioned for Xin Yu to get in.
"Brother … Qin." Xin Yu called out awkwardly.
Qin Fangang suddenly frowned. He inadvertently narrowed his eyes and looked at her with a burning gaze. "Hmm?"
Xin Yu felt a little guilty under his stare. Her heart suddenly beat faster. She instinctively looked away and said anxiously, "… I'm not very hungry. Brother, if you want to eat, you can just find a restaurant on the GPS. I have other things to do …"
"Ah — —"
Before she could finish speaking, Qin Fangang had already stepped forward. His large palm clasped her wrist without any explanation and pulled her whole body into his arms.
Xin Yu staggered. Before she could steady herself, she fell heavily into his arms.
The tip of her nose was suddenly filled with his domineering and strong masculine scent …
Xin Yu panicked and immediately started to struggle. She was like a duckling flopping in the water — her movements were stubborn, but there was a rare hint of cuteness in them.
Her soft body was in his arms, and her warm breath was on his neck. That place was clearly far away from his heart, but for some reason, Qin Fangang felt as if a feather was brushing against his heart at this moment.
It was soft and untraceable, but it was hard to ignore.
Her struggling became more and more intense. Qin Fangang simply pushed her whole body against the car door. He spread his arms on both sides of her and his handsome face closed in on her.
"Move again, hmm?"
Xin Yu did not expect Qin Fangang to go overboard. He actually dared to touch her in broad daylight. Also, what he said just now. Was he threatening her?
She was so angry that her beautiful face turned red. "Qin Fangang, what are you doing?"
"Now you know my name?" Qin Fangang raised his eyebrows and curved his sexy thin lips into a half-smile.
"You … I don't know what you're talking about. Let go of me!" She clenched her fists and landed them heavily on his arm.
But when her fist landed on his arm, she saw that he did not move at all. Instead, she gasped in pain.
Xin Yu was even more annoyed. She shouted in a low voice, "Qin Fangang!"
"Ha, have you gotten used to calling me that?"
Qin Fangang's hand, which was supporting himself against the car, suddenly went around her body and pulled open the door to the front passenger seat. Xin Yu was not paying attention and her body fell backward. He leaned over and pushed her into the car, closing the door with a bang.
"Hey, what … what are you trying to do?!"
Xin Yu wanted to open the car door but realized that Qin Fangang had already locked the central control. He buckled the safety belt and put the car in reverse. He looked at the situation on the road and replied casually, "I'm hungry."
Xin Yu was so angry that her temples were throbbing. "But I'm not hungry. If you're hungry, you can go and eat yourself …"
"Leng Xinyu." Qin Fangang suddenly called her name in all seriousness. Xin Yu's breathing stopped. She instinctively looked at his perfect side profile and saw his thin lips moving. He asked in a low voice, "Is this what you mean by you owe me? Or are you actually afraid that the Lu family will find out that we're together? "
"You haven't moved out yet, so I don't owe you anything!"
"Really? A contract doesn't have to be implemented to be effective. When both parties sign a contract, from the moment it is signed, both parties have to fulfill the terms of the contract. Do you understand? Even if it's a verbal agreement, it's the same. "
Xin Yu stared at him, dumbfounded. She was a little incredulous. "I just said that if you move out, I'll take it that I owe you. But the truth is … Don't you feel uncomfortable living with the Lu family at all? Do you really pretend that nothing is wrong when you're with me? "
"Look at me now. Do I look like I'm pretending that nothing is wrong?"
Qin Fangang suddenly turned his face. Xin Yu's gaze suddenly met his. His gaze was deep and there was a flame that she couldn't understand dancing in it. It was faintly discernible and seemed to be so intense that it made her dizzy.
Her chest suddenly tightened. She felt as though her heart was beating uncontrollably again.
He had already stopped the car and helped her unbuckle her seatbelt. "We're here. Get out of the car."
Xin Yu watched as Qin Fangang got out of the car as though nothing had happened. She stared blankly for a few seconds before opening the car door and getting out of the car after him.
Indeed, he had brought her to a restaurant. Actually, Xin Yu had left City D for five years. In such a big city, which was constantly changing, she didn't know what kind of restaurants served good food.
But just by looking at the low-key yet luxurious decor of this restaurant, she knew that the cost of living here was definitely not low.
Of course, it wouldn't be low. Otherwise, Qin Fangang wouldn't have come here. And who else did she see?
Xin Yu instinctively stopped in her tracks. Qin Fangang's tall figure also stopped two steps away from her. Her beautiful brows furrowed slightly as she looked at the man and woman who were eating by the window not far away. At that moment, there was only one thought in her mind —
City D was really small.
It was just a meal, and it was a meal that she didn't want to eat at all. She actually bumped into Lu Yihan.
It was fine that she bumped into Lu Yihan, but Xin Yu really didn't expect that she would bump into the woman sitting opposite Lu Yihan with a sweet smile the moment she came back to her senses after a series of blows.
Lan Ruoran.
Xin Yu's impression of this woman was still from five years ago.
When she married Lu Yihan, other than Lu Yihan himself, she was the one who had the biggest conflict.
If she hadn't interfered, the person sitting in the position of the Young Madam of the Lu Family would have been her, Lan Ruoran.
Therefore, a week after the wedding, when Xin Yu finished all the paperwork and was preparing to leave for England, Lan Ruoran chased after her to the airport and gave her a harsh slap at the boarding gate. She scolded her for being a third party and even cursed her that she would never be happy in this lifetime.
Her curse back then was still effective.
For the past five years, she had stayed alone in an empty house and couldn't be considered happy.
