Although Yu Sangwan didn’t answer the phone, Tang Yueze still managed to find her because she registered at the hotel.

Late at night, Lu Jinxuan hurriedly drove over.

After pressing the doorbell without a response, he called the manager and security to forcibly open the door.

"..." Yu Sangwan clutched her stomach, groaned, unable to open her eyes.

"Wanwan!" Lu Jinxuan rushed over and picked her up.

Yu Sangwan instinctively tugged at his collar, "Stomach hurts..."

"I’m sorry." Lu Jinxuan lowered his head to kiss her cold, sweaty forehead, asking nothing, as if he naturally bore the responsibility for her pain.

At the hospital, Yu Sangwan lay on the bed, talking to Lu Jinxuan in a rambling manner.

"Jinxuan, I might have an incurable disease."

Lu Jinxuan’s face darkened, scolding, "What nonsense are you talking about? It’s merely indigestion—why are you speaking so recklessly? Truly naive!"

"..." Yu Sangwan’s eyes burned, and her throat ached terribly. She turned her back to Lu Jinxuan, unwilling to acknowledge him.

Lu Jinxuan bent over and hugged her from behind, "Can you tell me now, what happened? Why did you suddenly come to Donghua? Didn’t I say I would visit in a couple of days?"

Yu Sangwan’s eyes were moist, she felt so exhausted. She didn’t want to say anything.

The doctor entered, and Lu Jinxuan gestured for him to speak softly.

"Yes." The doctor nodded, "Mr. Lu, she hasn’t digested the food in her stomach yet... It’s not a serious illness. I suggest that she shouldn’t lie down now—getting up and moving around will help her recover faster."

"Okay." Lu Jinxuan agreed.

After the doctor left, Lu Jinxuan coaxed Yu Sangwan, "Wanwan, does it hurt a lot? Please get up and walk a little. How about some laps around the room?"

"No." Yu Sangwan shook her head, determined not to comply, "I have no strength at all."

"Then..." Lu Jinxuan thought for a moment, "Would you let me carry you around?"

"..." Yu Sangwan opened her eyes to look at him, pursed her lips, and nodded, "Mm."

Lu Jinxuan smiled, rubbed her head, and carried her on his back. The VIP hospital room was spacious, and as Lu Jinxuan carried her, walking with small steps, it was very quiet... Their heartbeats and breaths blended together.

Yu Sangwan buried her head in the nook of his neck. Lu Jinxuan felt the skin on the side of his neck grow wet, surprisingly, "Wanwan?"

"Ugh..." Yu Sangwan sobbed lightly, "Jinxuan, will you carry me for life?"

Lu Jinxuan smiled and nodded, "Of course, why always ask such silly questions?"

Looking at the back of his clean head, Yu Sangwan’s heart twisted together. What should she do? He was lying to her! How could he promise fidelity with her while secretly preparing to get engaged to another woman? This was completely different from what he said!

Suddenly, Yu Sangwan sulkily said, "Jinxuan, I want to..."

Lu Jinxuan’s back stiffened, "Wanwan, you’re sick."

Yu Sangwan’s tears fell steadily, "But, I want it."

"Hey..." How could Lu Jinxuan bear to see her cry so? Not to mention that he originally had no resistance against her.

He gently placed her back on the bed, softly caressing her hair, "Is it okay?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"Mm!" Yu Sangwan stubbornly nodded.

"Then I’ll be gentle..."

Compared to Lu Jinxuan, Yu Sangwan appeared more frantic, more impatient. Her heart felt so empty that she needed this manner to fill it! Yet, even she herself wasn’t sure if this held any meaning...

What will happen when dawn comes? Will he still be hers?

...

The next day when she woke up, Lu Jinxuan was already gone.

On her phone, there was a message from him... Baby, wait for me to pick you up, let’s go back to Holy City together.

Yu Sangwan looked at the words, guessing what he might be thinking. Was he rushing to send her back to Holy City because he feared she would break up with him after discovering his engagement? Or was he scared she might disrupt his engagement ceremony?

No matter which it was, Yu Sangwan couldn’t accept it.

After putting away her phone, Yu Sangwan changed clothes and left the hospital.

She checked last night that there was a charity event at Wealth Square tonight, open to outsiders... Among the attendees was Gong Hongming.

Arriving relatively early, Yu Sangwan pattered the little gown she had just bought, carrying a glass of champagne while looking around.

Gong Hongming was here!

Yu Sangwan moved closer to Gong Hongming. Across the crowd, Gong Hongming also spotted Yu Sangwan. His eyes narrowed suddenly... He didn’t expect to encounter this girl here! The little girl looked even more dazzling in her dress.

The moment their eyes met, Yu Sangwan raised her glass towards Gong Hongming.

Gong Hongming was taken aback, smiled, raised his glass in return, and took the initiative to drink first.

Yu Sangwan smiled and took a small sip.

"What are you doing here?" A sharp female voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Yu Sangwan turned around to see, surprisingly, Gong Xueyan! She hadn’t seen Gong Xueyan on the guest list, so she must have decided to come at the last minute.

Due to her hatred towards the Gong family, Yu Sangwan’s hatred towards Gong Xueyan intensified a bit more, "Why I’m here... does that have anything to do with you?"

"Fine!" Gong Xueyan nodded, "Your presence indeed has nothing to do with me, but... who were you just exchanging flirtatious looks with?"

So Gong Xueyan saw her just now?

Yu Sangwan wasn’t flustered, she smiled slightly, "Does that have anything to do with you?"

After saying that, she turned to leave.

However, her wrist was abruptly seized by Gong Xueyan. Yu Sangwan frowned and growled, "Let go!"

"You’re utterly shameless!" Gong Xueyan was truly upset, refusing to release her, "How dare you seduce my father?"

Yu Sangwan laughed, "Greeting someone and raising a glass counts as seduction? Great manners, Miss Gong!"

"You..." Gong Xueyan trembled all over in rage and grabbed a glass from the table, flinging it over, splashing Yu Sangwan’s face with champagne.

"..." Yu Sangwan parted her lips slightly, glaring fiercely at her.

Such an intense look caused Gong Xueyan to subconsciously step back a couple of steps.

Yet seeing her not make any further move, Gong Xueyan’s arrogance surged again. She raised her hand, "You can’t handle being splashed with wine? Want me to hit you?"

The raised arm, however, was suddenly grasped by someone.

Gong Xueyan looked up, shocked, "Dad!"

Gong Hongming frowned and pushed his daughter aside, handing a large towel to Yu Sangwan, "Quickly, wipe it off..."

Yu Sangwan looked up at him and smiled, "Thank you."

It must be said, given Yu Sangwan’s external appeal, if she intended to seduce someone, it would be effortless... No need to exert any effort.

Gong Hongming appeared relaxed, his smile deepened, "There are too many people here, you should deal with your clothes in the dressing room! You don’t know where it is—I’ll accompany you..."

"Thank you, Mr. Gong."

"..." Gong Xueyan stomped her foot in anger, "Dad!"
