Just what?
Just that she no longer has a hard shell, just that she’s afraid he will... go to prison because of these things.
"I know," Mu Jin Huan’s heart softened, holding the woman’s hand, unable to resist teasing her, "it’s not like I haven’t been before. Mrs. Mu isn’t always complaining I’m old and clamoring to find a new springti, just the right opportunity."
Nan Wan glared at him with a stern face, "What nonsense are you talking!"
Mu Jin Huan laughed softly, pulling her into an embrace, "I’m just kidding, don’t worry, it was done very cleanly, nothing can be found."
Just like what Nan Huaiyu did back then, leaving no traces.
Nan Wan leaned in the man’s arms, listening to his steady and strong heartbeat, her restless heart gradually calming down.
She didn’t know how long it had been before she spoke to Mu Jin Huan like this.
"If it’s really found out, then let it be , I’m very jealous of Ji Wanxia, all those lonely years, it was her by your side. I don’t have a ti machine to rewind ti, what’s missed can’t be made up."
"So, if soone really has to go to prison, then let it be , knowing how you endured those endless dark nights, maybe... I’d love you even more."
At this mont, Nan Wan was only following her heart, saying what was on her mind.
She didn’t know that she would... hit the mark with one sentence.
Although the reasons were different, the result was the sa.

The office door was flung open with force, the door slab hit the wall and bounced back, making a huge noise, leaving a curved crescent mark on the white wall.
The doctor, who was drinking tea, was startled, spilling half a cup of hot tea onto his chest, causing him to jump up from his office chair.
"Damn..." he muttered, wiping the wet spots on his chest with a tissue while frowning and looking towards the door, the words ’who the hell’ were about to leave his mouth when he quickly changed course, "Oh, Miss Yu, is there sothing I can do for you?"
Oh dear, what has brought this troublemaker here again...
Yu Qinglu walked to the desk with an expressionless face, her gaze devoid of warmth as she looked at the doctor, "Is this how your hospital handles patient safety issues so irresponsibly?"
The loose striped hospital gown hung on her overly thin body, appearing empty.
The doctor hurriedly tidied up his appearance, although a few tea leaves were still clinging to his white coat, it wasn’t as disheveled compared to his open collar.
"What does Miss Yu an by this," he said with a good-natured smile as he stepped out from behind his desk. "Was it the security not doing their job properly? Or was a caregiver slacking off recently? Please don’t be angry, Miss Yu, I’ll have a word with them in a bit."
Patients with connections are all ancestors, they have to be served like royalty.
"It’s been five days," Yu Qinglu remained with that sa emotionless expression, her voice as cool as it could be, "for five consecutive days, between 5:30 to 6:00 in the evening, a stranger has appeared in my ward, and no one is managing it?"
The doctor froze, quickly sizing up Yu Qinglu in front of him, as if checking whether she had been hard.
"A stranger? That’s impossible. Our departnt has a nurse checking the wards every hour, it shouldn’t happen."
The doctor offered a chair, but Yu Qinglu didn’t even glance at it, only gave a cold chuckle, "Are you saying I’m making sothing out of nothing?"
Does everyone think she’s crazy...
The doctor was suddenly at a loss, knowing that no matter how he answered, it was wrong. Offend this ancestor, and he might lose his job.
Suddenly recalling sothing, he looked at the ancestor, tentatively asking, "Is it Miss Su Lu Yao?"
Yu Qinglu’s expression stayed cool, "I don’t know, I don’t know her."
"But Miss Su said, she is your old friend, worried you might feel bored staying in the hospital for long, so she specially returned to Qing City to keep you company."
Is that what Su Lu Yao told the doctor?
Ha!
It truly is her style, making up so non-existent sisterly bond, doesn’t she feel like she’s tainting the word ’friend’?
"I said I don’t know her, please ensure she doesn’t show up in my ward tomorrow."
When the ancestor says she doesn’t know, then she doesn’t know.
The doctor nodded in agreent, "Oh, of course, I’ll inform security and the nurses."
The office door was left open, and people coming and going couldn’t help but peer inside, but Yu Qinglu was oblivious to those glances.
When she reached the door, she paused for a few seconds, her voice faint and devoid of warmth, "Also, have her ’escorted’ out now."
Upon hearing her words, the doctor quickly stepped forward to follow.
Yu Qinglu didn’t return to her ward, but sat on a bench, uninterested in the patients and nurses passing by.
The doctor naturally understood her intent, gesturing for those around the bench to move farther away and not to stare, and continued on.
The ward door was open, and the doctor imdiately saw the beautiful woman sitting on the sofa, eating green grapes from the fruit platter.
In the sumr, the afternoon sunlight was still glaring, her whole figure was bathed in the halo of light, her profile so exquisite it could be a plastic surgery template, every strand of hair outlined clearly.
So beautiful she seed to step right out of a painting.
The doctor was entranced for a mont, completely forgetting why he had co.
Noticing the gaze on her, Lu Yao turned her head towards the doorway, seemingly unaware, licking the juice from her finger, and then smiled gently, "Is there sothing I can help with?"
The young doctor snapped to attention, his ears reddening, his fist loosely covering his mouth as he coughed awkwardly, "Ahem, well, it’s like this, Miss Su."
Lu Yao wiped her fingers with a tissue, politely responding, "Yes, please go on."
The doctor shifted his gaze awkwardly, but couldn’t help casting glances at the woman of indescribable beauty, "Miss Yu said... she doesn’t know you, so please, don’t co to disturb her rest tomorrow."
Saying such words to a beautiful woman felt like divine punishnt would follow.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yao seed to pause for a mont, then quickly responded, standing up and offering the doctor an apologetic smile.
She explained with an apologetic tone, "I told her she’s getting uglier, and she’s mad at ."
Evidently just friends playing around.
But Miss Yu’s deanor earlier didn’t seem like a joke...
The doctor found it strange, but also knew won’s thoughts were unfathomable, so he just said for now, "Then you two should communicate better. Miss Yu is not in the best health, I hope Miss Su can be understanding."
Lu Yao politely nodded, "Yes, of course, sorry to trouble you, doctor."
...
The bench was just four or five ters to the left of the ward, and Yu Qinglu heard the entire conversation between the two.
A pair of nude high heels ca into view, she did not look up, maintaining her original posture.
There was a sarcastic curve at the corner of her mouth, but it was obscured by her loose hair, so no one saw it clearly, "With such exquisite acting skills, it’s a pity you don’t pursue a career in showbiz."
Lu Yao curved her lips into a smile, her voice lazy and gentle, "After all, Miss Yu taught well, I’m naturally gifted, learned it quickly."
Yu Qinglu loathed her deanor, her hand on the bench slowly tightening, wood shavings wedged into her fingernails, but she felt nothing.
Looking up, she cast a cold gaze upon her, asking the question for the third ti, "What do you want?"
Throughout these five days, she would always appear in her ward at exactly six o’clock, saying nothing, sotis drinking tea, sotis eating a few pieces of fruit, and then leaving at precisely six thirty.
Not a minute off.
The smile in Lu Yao’s eyes beca even more radiant, stepping forward with her slender, beautiful legs, the sound of her high heels on the floor crisp and pleasant.
Bending down, she moved close to Yu Qinglu’s ear, gently arranging her loose hair with a delicate touch.
Slowly, she said, "I just want to see when you’ll finally have had enough, close your eyes and jump off the rooftop."
After pausing for a second, she added, "Such a beautiful mont, I can’t miss it."
