405: Chapter 405: Really Values Today’s Date 405: Chapter 405: Really Values Today’s Date In the past half a month, he had been busy dealing with matters within the Mafia.
Having severely wounded the Phoenix and the God of Hell, the Mafia suddenly beca the leading faction.
Many gangs ca to fawn over him and discuss business deals.
Moreover, the new territory he had seized needed reorganization and settling, piling all the matters up, keeping him insanely busy.
Several tis, he went for several days and nights without rest, and even a body of iron fell ill.
After recovering, he resud working day and night, and his condition recurred, growing even more severe.
But he persisted, and finally, everything was in order, but his health completely collapsed.
However, he now had more ti to focus on his treatnt.
Yet, lying in bed alone every day, his mind was filled with thoughts of Lin Xinlan.
When his heart had soone in it, that loneliness felt even more agonizing.
The desire to see her grew stronger and stronger.
After he had called her several tis without her answering, his irritability increased, feeling both angry and unable to give up, almost desperate to see her imdiately.
Today, when she hung up his call again, he couldn’t contain himself any longer, regardless of the IV he was on, yanking out the needle and leaving to find her.
And he swore he would definitely ask her out to a al.
She did join him for the al, and his heart was elated, but the damn cold was not yet cured, really ssing with his image and the rare ambiance!
Feeling frustrated inside, his anger surged with his blood, leading to another bout of coughing.
The coughing was harsher this ti, unstoppable as if he was about to cough out his lungs.
“Sorry…” he bore the discomfort in his throat and hurriedly got up to the restroom.
Lin Xinlan gave him a look but said nothing.
Qiao Yiyang coughed for a long ti in the restroom, eased his complexion, and rushed back out hastily.
Seeing that she was still there, he sighed in relief.
He truly feared she would leave on her own while he was gone.
As he approached, Lin Xinlan stood up and spoke indifferently, “Are you still eating?
If not, let’s go.”
“Alright.” He settled the bill and left the restaurant with her.
“I apologize, I’ve been a bit under the weather recently, and I didn’t expect to ruin the mood when I finally managed to ask you out for a al,” he said remorsefully as they walked.
He valued today’s date highly and didn’t want to leave a bad impression on her.
Lin Xinlan stopped in her tracks and faced him calmly, “I’ve already had a al with you, I should go back now, and so should you.”
Qiao Yiyang was taken aback and hurriedly suggested, “We could go for so afternoon tea, or maybe for a walk or a drive, we can go wherever you want.”
“I want to go back.”
“Xinlan, I finally managed to ask you out, can’t you stay a bit longer…” He was about to add ‘with .’
Lin Xinlan cut him off calmly, “I only agreed to accompany you for a al, and like you said, just for one al.”
Qiao Yiyang fell silent.
If he had known, he wouldn’t have put it that way; he should have asked her to stay with him for the entire day.
“But…”
“Qiao Yiyang, I hope you won’t force .”
“…” His eyes darkened, and after holding back, he could only nod in compromise, “Alright then, I’ll take you back.”
“No need, I can go back by myself.”
“Are you going to argue with about this too?”
A flash of displeasure passed through Lin Xinlan’s eyes, “You should know, accompanying you for a al is my limit!
I want to walk alone now, don’t bother anymore.”
“…Okay then.”
