Leng Xuan shook his head with a smile, slipped his phone into his pocket, and then waved a hand, saying "Goodbye" before he walked out of the factory with his hands behind his back. Seeing him like this, Ning Xin’er gritted her teeth in anger, but rembering what Su Zhenggang had said, she felt helpless.
After leaving the factory, Leng Xuan reached the main road and realized it was already quite late. Given the remote location, there were no taxis. Having no other option, he quickened his pace and sprinted in the direction of the city hospital.
With his speed, it didn’t take long for him to arrive at the hospital. Following the path he had co by, he quickly entered his own ward. After taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, he collapsed into bed and fell into a comfortable sleep.
It wasn’t until noon the next day that Leng Xuan eventually woke up. Just after washing his face, he saw the door of the ward being pushed open, and in walked Dai Xinyue. She was carrying a lunchbox from which a faint aroma wafted, whetting one’s appetite. The mont she saw Leng Xuan, her smile blossod like a flower, incomparably stunning.
"You’re finally awake. Co and try the food I’ve made and see if it suits your taste," Dai Xinyue said as she opened the lunchbox and placed it on the table, urging Leng Xuan to co over quickly.
Leng Xuan responded with a smile, "You don’t have to be so polite."
Dai Xinyue sincerely replied, "I should be the one thanking you."
Upon hearing this, Leng Xuan naturally understood what her "thank you" implied. His lips curved up, and he chuckled, "Make sure your father doesn’t spread the word about last night. I’d rather not have everyone know about it."
"Don’t worry," Dai Xinyue nodded in assurance. "We know what should and shouldn’t be said."
Leng Xuan nodded and added, "By the way, rember to advise your father not to gamble anymore. It’s not a good thing. Many people have ruined their lives because of it, and I don’t want to see him co to such an end."
"This incident has been a big wake-up call for my father. He’s already promised last night that he’ll change his ways and never touch gambling again," she said.
"That’s good," Leng Xuan, while eating the al Dai Xinyue had brought, found it delicious and couldn’t help but praise, "Not bad, you’re quite skilled. Whoever marries you will be very lucky."
Unexpectedly, Dai Xinyue blurted out an impulsive response, "Would you want this luck for yourself?"
Taken aback, Leng Xuan pondered, could it be that this beautiful nurse, because of what happened last night, intended to offer herself to him? To be honest, he had never been approached so directly with such flirtatious talk by soone of the opposite sex, leaving him unsure of how to respond. Letting out an awkward chuckle, Leng Xuan touched his nose and said, "Such luck is certainly good, but unfortunately, I’m afraid I won’t be able to enjoy it."
Leng Xuan’s polite rejection was due to his own reasons. There were already many girls with whom he had unclear relations, and if he continued developing such relationships without limit, he would end up with a real headache. Moreover, he still had the threat of the Shanlan Sect to deal with, so to avoid putting those around him at risk, he had to learn to keep his distance.
In fact, Dai Xinyue regretted her words as soon as they left her lips, her cheeks flushing with embarrassnt. Yet deep down, she also felt a flicker of hope. Although her ti with Leng Xuan had been short, she found that his character was quite decent through their interactions over these days. He didn’t look at her with the lustful eyes like the other male patients, which she found repulsive. Moreover, Leng Xuan emanated a sense of safety, and wasn’t that exactly what a woman looked for in a man?
