Chapter 450: 0448 What a coincidence Chapter 450: 0448 What a coincidence From the pallor on Yin Xiner’s face, it was clear she had a cold—there was hardly any need to co all this way to the outskirts for a check-up.
Yin Xiner’s smile deepened, casting a shy glance at the man beside her.
“Mmm, Jichen is worried,” she said.
Su Ran nodded, her voice detached:
“Since that’s the case, I won’t disturb you two!”
Having said that, she glanced at the two, her gaze lingering on Wen Jichen, subtle and inexplicable.
Wen Jichen watched Su Ran’s retreating figure, a trace of indistinct emotion surging in the depths of his eyes.
“Jichen, let’s go in too,” Yin Xiner suggested.
Wen Jichen nodded, and the two of them entered the hospital as well.
Just as Su Ran had guessed, Yin Xiner was indeed just suffering from a cold, but because she had been filming with a harness, and afterwards, been caught in a bit of wind, she looked sowhat worse for wear.
During the check-up, Wen Jichen received a phone call and temporarily left. But even after all the check-ups were finished, there was no sign of him returning.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, still without any sign of him and with calls going unanswered, a sudden anxiety welled up inside Yin Xiner. She put away her phone and began searching the hospital for him.
“Excuse , have you seen the gentleman who ca with earlier?” she softly asked the nurse in the clinic.
The nurse shook her head, clueless.
Yin Xiner’s delicate eyebrows knitted tightly together.
Seeing her concern, the nurse quickly said, “I’m sorry, I couldn’t be of help to you.”
Yin Xiner sighed lightly, “No matter, I’ll ask so others.”
The nurse nodded and hurried away!
Yin Xiner searched the hospital yet didn’t find Wen Jichen, and her calls remained unanswered.
Feeling sowhat disappointed, she hung up and decided to return to the clinic to see if Wen Jichen had already returned and was waiting there for her.
The suburban hospital was vast and quiet. The road ahead was straight and seed endless, as if she could never reach the end, much like her relationship with Wen Jichen.
She closed her eyes tight then opened them again, preparing to head back to the clinic when suddenly, two figures streaked past her. Yin Xiner’s gaze halted, staring intently at the back of one of them.
The woman was dressed in a simple T-shirt and jeans, the most plain attire imaginable, her feet clad in modest white shoes, revealing dainty and pale ankles. Her straight legs were slender and proportional, outlining a perfect figure. Devoid of any unnecessarily complicated designs from head to toe, her intrinsic charisma and poise were incomparable.
Her voice was steady without a ripple, cold to the bone, yet carried a unique, crisp petulance.
“I’ve already made an appointnt with him.”
“Yes, we have received the notification.”
“Can I go find him directly now?”
“Yes.”
“Okay, thank you!”
Yin Xiner frowned with her lovely eyebrows, her gaze lingering on the woman, suspicion flickering in her heart, and then she dismissed the thought.
Impossible!
She could not possibly be here.
With a slight relief, she hurried forward a couple of steps, her soft voice following behind them.
“Excuse , could I ask…”
The two of them turned around at the sound. When the woman’s face appeared before her unexpectedly, Yin Xiner’s complexion turned ghostly pale.
“You…”
Light filtered through the gaps and fell upon the woman’s beautiful eyes, shimring and dazzling as if all the stars in the sky were condensed within her bright eyes at that mont.
She was beautiful, striking and radiant, her features exquisite, each as if bestowed with heaven’s perfection.
Her beauty ca with an oppressive force, her bright eyes slightly upturned, revealing a solitary allurent amidst the chill, her entire being exuding an unapproachable aura. Yet, it was paradoxical; it was precisely that proud and languid air that made it impossible to look away.
Seeing Yin Xiner, she paused for a mont and then looked her over with an indifferent expression.
From head to toe!
Garbed in designer clothes, she appeared to be living lavishly!
Hah!
She indifferently withdrew her gaze, turned, and silently left.
Yin Xiner stood rooted to the spot, staring blankly at the woman’s retreating figure.
A breeze caressed her, and she shivered all over, snapping back to reality with an indescribable sense of unease and panic rising in her heart.
So it really was her.
After leaving for so many years due to the Ling Family’s decline, she has… really returned.
Yin Xiner trembled uncontrollably, fear and dread sweeping over her entire body.
She didn’t know what she was afraid of, only that she felt almost suffocated even when breathing.
Jichen, does Jichen know she’s back?
Yin Xiner stood there, dazed, when suddenly her eyes widened.
No!
No way!
She can’t let Jichen know she’s back!
But where had Jichen gone?
Suddenly struck by a thought, Yin Xiner felt a tightness in her chest and hurriedly left in a flustered state.
–
Su Ran stayed in Yaosang Qianyue’s hospital room for almost an hour before she left.
After leaving the room and turning right, she unexpectedly ca across a familiar figure at the corner, and her starry eyes flickered slightly.
The woman also showed surprise in her eyes upon seeing Su Ran, but in the next second, she regained her composure.
“What a coincidence!”
Coincidence?
Su Ran raised her eyebrows, indeed, wasn’t it a coincidence?
“I’ve been waiting for you.”
Confusion spread across the woman’s face as she looked at Su Ran.
“Waiting for ?”
Su Ran nodded, her lips curving into a smile as she watched her.
“Haven’t you considered it yet? I’m waiting for your response.”
The woman, nad Chu Ling, was the sa one Su Ran had t at the Xiao Family banquet.
They had seen each other several tis in the industry. Despite being in the business for many years, her fa was even less than a newcor’s.
In the entertainnt industry’s big dye vat, without a background or connections, one only had the choice to go with the flow and play dirty.
This woman, untainted by all that, held herself in high regard, which is probably why the company kept her on ice, preferring to promote new artists rather than give her resources.
Chu Ling shook her head, a wry smile appearing on her lips.
“I’m sorry to disappoint you, but my contract hasn’t expired yet, and I can’t sign with a new company for now.”
Su Ran’s starry eyes narrowed slightly, her gaze profound as she looked at her.
“Is that so? But do you want to break the contract with your current company?”
Chu Ling nodded, taking a deep breath, her face filled with confusion and helplessness.
“I’ve been in the entertainnt industry for four years now. Initially filled with expectations, but as ti passed, I grew more confused and even lost sight of my original purpose, my initial drive, and goal.”
“I thought that as long as I persevered, it didn’t matter what my fa was, nor what sort of status I had. As long as my intentions remained true, I was pursuing the path I loved. But alas…”
She said, laughing at herself with a hint of self-mockery.
“You saw what happened last ti; reality and human nature both gave a harsh lesson. Tell , was my choice wrong?”
Su Ran quietly listened until she finished, then shook her head.
“What’s wrong is never the choice itself, but knowing the choice is wrong and yet still acting like a moth to a fla.”
