Yu Sangwan's days were pretty much the same every day.

She still hadn't gone to the hospital for a check-up... Honestly, she didn't have the courage.

What would be the point in going? To hear the doctor tell her how many days she had left to live? Or to listen to the doctor's suggestion... to have surgery?

None of that mattered.

She didn't want to know how many days she had left, living each day counting down... It sounded so miserable. She also didn't want to have surgery, only to die after it anyway. She had checked online; stomach cancer leads to a quick death, and surgery would only make it faster.

Since that's the case, why not live recklessly?

Wanting whatever she desired, spending lavishly, eating indulgently, and after all, it wasn't her own money being squandered.

At the Chanel boutique, Yu Sangwan was trying on their latest designs.

"Miss, you're tall, this design looks great on you, and with your fair skin, it complements the black color well."

Tall? Yu Sangwan was slightly taken aback, remembering how Lu Jinxuan always called her "little shortie," saying she would be "short forever" in this life...

Thinking of those words between lovers now feels bittersweet.

Because of the word "tall," Yu Sangwan suddenly didn't want to buy it.

She smiled and shook her head, "I..."

"Please wrap it up for her, I'll pay." A low male voice came from the doorway, Gong Hongming had walked in.

Upon seeing him, Yu Sangwan frowned, how did she run into him again? He really was like a ghost that wouldn't go away!

However, she still managed a smile, "Mr. Gong."

Gong Hongming nodded with a smile, took out a card from his bag, and handed it to the shop assistant, "Wrap it up."

"Thank you." The assistant accepted it with a smile.

Yu Sangwan frowned, "Mr. Gong, this isn't appropriate, is it?"

Gong Hongming raised an eyebrow, "What could be inappropriate about a man pursuing someone he likes by gifting her something? This dress looks beautiful on you." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"..." Yu Sangwan opened her mouth, wanting to say something.

Unexpectedly, Gong Hongming was quicker than her, "I've already arranged a separation with my wife... Now, I'm qualified to pursue you, right?"

"..." Yu Sangwan mentally cursed...

Initially, she just wanted to irritate Mrs. Gong, but didn't expect Mr. Gong to take it more seriously than a young woman! Wasn't he the one who painstakingly won over Mrs. Gong back then? He really was a jerk; after all, young women were more alluring to him than his wife!

The more she thought, the less she felt her father deserved it. Did her father really lose to such a man?

However, she couldn't say that.

You have to understand, Gong Hongming's status wasn't ordinary, she couldn't afford to offend him.

"Is that so?" Yu Sangwan smirked, "Theoretically, you can, but... there are quite a few people pursuing me."

She raised her hand as if checking the time, "I have a date later."

Gong Hongming wasn't easily fooled, "Oh? Then I'll wait for next time... But first, let me escort you out!"

"Sir, your dress."

The assistant handed the wrapped dress to Gong Hongming.

Gong Hongming held the bag, tilted his head towards Yu Sangwan, "Let's go!"

Yu Sangwan couldn't refuse at this point, worry gnawed at her... What should she do?

The more anxious she was, the faster she walked. As they reached the door, Gong Hongming glanced around and quipped, "Looks like this person is quite unreliable! He didn't even come to pick up a pretty girl like you? I'm suddenly very confident."

"Haha." Yu Sangwan forced a laugh, pointing to a Cayenne not far away, "There, it's over there!"

She quickly hastened her step towards the Cayenne, "Goodbye, Mr. Gong!"

Truthfully, she had no idea whose Cayenne it was.

In moments like this, she couldn't care less. Yu Sangwan arrived at the car, opened the door, and got in.

"..." Mr. Lin was reading the newspaper, and when the car door suddenly opened, a girl sat down next to him, startling him.

"Ah!" Yu Sangwan was also surprised, pointing at Mr. Lin, "You?"

Seeing her, Mr. Lin's thin lips curved into a smile, "Young lady, we meet again."

Yu Sangwan felt terribly awkward, laughing sheepishly, "Sorry! I... Can you help me now?"

"Oh?" Mr. Lin seemed intrigued, "What do you need help with?"

"Uh..." Yu Sangwan looked at Gong Hongming still standing at the mall entrance, clasped her hands together in a pleading gesture, "Can we just drive off?"

Mr. Lin nodded slightly, instructing the driver, "Drive."

As the car drove away, Yu Sangwan covered her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally got away, thank you! Mr. Lin."

Mr. Lin turned, propped his chin, observing her with interest, "And then?"

Yu Sangwan widened her eyes, stuttering, "Are you hungry? How about I treat you to lunch as a thank you for your help?"

"Oh." Mr. Lin nodded, "Lunch, good idea."

The driver drove forward, stopping at a quiet alley. Yu Sangwan had been here before; there was a famous private restaurant inside.

Mr. Lin got out of the car first, opened the door for Yu Sangwan, "Come on, young lady."

Yu Sangwan stepped out, hearing, "There's a nice private restaurant inside, shall we eat here? What do you think?"

Yu Sangwan nodded, fortunately, she had Mrs. Gong's card with her, otherwise... she wouldn't really be able to afford a meal at such a high-class private restaurant. "Okay."

Mr. Lin had a reserved private room here, and as soon as they entered, a server guided them to the room.

"Mr. Lin, the same as before?"

"Hmm." Mr. Lin shook his head, "No, I'll go check the menu..."

He then glanced at Yu Sangwan, "Today I want to eat some medicinal cuisine, is there anything you particularly want? Want to join me in picking?"

All the ingredients here were chosen and cooked on the spot, requiring guests to personally inspect.

Yu Sangwan shook her head, "I don't understand medicinal cuisine, you can choose for me."

Mr. Lin recalled her mentioning her health issues, nodded, "I know what's suitable for girls to eat, I'll choose for you."

"Thank you."

Yu Sangwan held the teacup, feeling a warmth. Though she had only encountered Mr. Lin a few times... the impression he gave her was good; at his age and with such looks and charisma... wasn't he one of those 'uncle gentleman types' that only appeared in novels?

How fortunate to meet a living one.

Mr. Lin had left; his suit jacket was draped over the chair back, his small bag and keys casually placed on the table.

Yu Sangwan glanced at them, noticing an intricate ornament on his key; strands of small beads hanging down, seemingly made of pure silver. Yu Sangwan found it adorable, and as she reached out to touch it, she realized, what were those little beads?

They were actually tiny peaches. Peaches, peaches?

Hmm? Yu Sangwan frowned, feeling a strange sensation she couldn't quite describe.
