Chapter 397 After lunch this afternoon, I'll take you home, okay?
"Tsk...sigh..."
Yu Lingxue leaned against the wall, clicked her tongue, and sighed. She had been thinking about this matter for the past few days.
She knew she would face this day sooner or later, and she had rehearsed in her mind countless times how to resolve it.
"Did you hear that? If you try to back out now, I'll make you pay. Your mother's still in the hospital, you know that?"
Yu Yinghai's words on the phone were full of threats, leaving Yu Lingxue no chance to refuse.
Yu Lingxue understood this as well, so she didn't intend to refuse. Even for her mother's sake, she couldn't afford to offend Yu Yinghai...
Yu Lingxue took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and replied calmly:
"I know, I don't regret it."
"【Yes, he'll pick you up from the hospital tomorrow. Dress nicely. If I find out you deliberately ruined the blind date, you'll pay the price.】"
After saying that, Yu Yinghai hung up the phone.
After hearing this, Yu Lingxue leaned weakly against the wall. She now felt absolutely no goodwill towards this father.
What kind of father speaks to his daughter with such threats, even though she's not his enemy...?
But they were definitely not his family; I was merely his tool, a pawn...
"Ugh! So annoying!"
Yu Lingxue punched the wall hard to vent her emotions, and then went back to her ward.
Even if tomorrow is hell, today is the last day I must take good care of my mother...
Yu Lingxue's mother seemed to notice that Yu Lingxue seemed off after receiving the phone call, and appeared to be in a bad mood.
But she didn't dare ask anything. Now that her child was older and had her own ideas, she, as the mother, wouldn't get any information out of her, afraid she would worry...
That night, after her mother fell asleep, Yu Lingxue temporarily left the place.
Make sure she dresses something nice; she doesn't have any nice clothes at the hospital...
If possible, she'd like to wear a hospital gown, preferably a psychiatric hospital gown...
The next morning, Yu Lingxue reluctantly dressed herself, wearing light makeup, simple jewelry, and a plain dress...
Everything about her revealed her reluctance; this was the most she had ever dressed up for.
A while later, Yu Lingxue's phone rang. She took it out and saw that it was an unknown number.
She usually doesn't answer unknown numbers, but seeing how impressive the phone number was, she knew the owner was someone important.
That's definitely the kind of call I least want to receive...
"Hey?"
"Hello, are you Yu Lingxue?"
"Well, I am."
"【Hello, hello, I'm Yan Lingwen. You probably already know me, right? I don't need to explain, do I?】"
"Need not."
Yu Lingxue's answers were brief and perfunctory, as if she wanted to embed the word "indifference" into her tone.
"【Okay, are you free now? Can I pick you up now? Shall we go shopping first, and then have dinner? I know you have to take care of your mother, so after lunch I'll take you home, okay?"
"?"
Yu Lingxue frowned, feeling somewhat puzzled, thinking that this was not quite what she had imagined.
Shouldn't the other person be a really annoying guy?
So polite? So well-mannered? So tactful? And so sensible?
It's probably an act...
"Well, convenient."
Yu Lingxue gave a brief reply without giving it much thought.
"Okay, I'll come pick you up now."
After hanging up the phone, Yu Lingxue waited outside the hospital, playing with her phone. She had originally wanted to say a few words to Yin Mengran and Tang Zhi...
At times like these, you really need the comfort of a good friend...
But after thinking about it, I decided against it. Telling them would only worry them; they're already so busy with so many things to do every day.
How can I let them divert their attention to my affairs... that would be too selfish.
"Strange... my mirror..."
Yu Lingxue was rummaging through her bag when something fell out...
Yu Lingxue blinked, then looked closely and realized it was a handkerchief...
This seems to be the one Bai Cang gave me last time... which I took with me...
"Don't hesitate to ask if you need my help!"
She recalled what Bai Cang had said that night...
"Tsk, why think about these things..."
Yu Lingxue shook her head, trying to shake off her thoughts, then picked up the handkerchief from the ground and put it in her bag.
Even if I wanted to ask for help, I wouldn't go to him... What was I thinking just now?
Yu Lingxue waited a little longer, and then a car stopped in front of her.
She looked up and saw the driver's side window slowly roll down, revealing a man sitting there, smiling at her.
"Yu Lingxue?"
"Ah."
Yu Lingxue nodded. She knew this man must be Yan Lingwen; he wasn't bad-looking...
The car he drove wasn't particularly flashy either; Yu Lingxue had thought someone like him would drive a convertible supercar or something...
Yan Lingwen got out of the car, walked around to the passenger side, opened the door, looked at Yu Lingxue, and bowed slightly, saying:
"Please get in the car?"
Yu Lingxue rolled her eyes at him, but still remained polite and responded calmly:
"Thank you."
Then she got into the car.
After getting into the car, she found the faint fragrance inside to be very pleasant, seemingly the scent of flowers...
After Yan Lingwen got on the bus, he pointed to the back. Yu Lingxue was a little puzzled, turned around and looked, and her eyes widened immediately...
There was a large bouquet of flowers behind them, as if it had been deliberately arranged, making it especially romantic. If it were a normal couple, seeing such a small surprise would definitely make them feel happy...
Yu Lingxue, however, felt something was off... Yan Lingwen was quite dedicated, but... wasn't this just a simple blind date?
It's called a business marriage, but she definitely doesn't have any romantic feelings for him. It would be best if Yan Lingwen didn't either, so they could reach an agreement, easily fool their parents, and end it...
But looking at him now, it seems like he's really interested...
Yu Lingxue turned her head away, no longer looking behind her, pretending she hadn't seen anything and making no reaction.
But just then, Yan Lingwen suddenly took out another gift box and handed it to Yu Lingxue...
"Please accept this gift."
