but chuckle and say, "Haha, kidding. I actually don't have a job. Work, for most people, is about realizing one's self-worth, to put it plainly, it's still all about the hustle for life."I have no wor...Raising his white fingers, Lin Jinran picked a candy and put it in his mouth. This time, it was chocolate-flavored. The thick chocolate flavor cut across his tongue, filling his mouth with the characteristic bitterness and sweetness of chocolate.

Very tasty candy.

Pursed her lips, she lowered her gaze to look at the candy in her hand, slowly clenched it up, and secretly made a decision.

The best result would be for him to lose interest in her, but no one knows when the Night Owl will lose interest.

Maybe a few days, maybe a few months, or maybe even a few years.

She can't wait, nor afford to waste time.

The waiter's words did remind Lin Jinyan that perhaps she was playing coy with Ye Xiao, maybe even letting her guard down. At that time, she might have a chance to call the police or contact Mu Shaocheng.

Went into the bathroom, showered and changed into a clean set of casual clothes. Dried my hair and loosely tied it up with a scrunchie.

She in the mirror, her delicate skin was slightly pale, her eyes clear and bright, and her lips were a crimson red. Compared to a few days ago, she seemed more spirited.

This wasn't just her feeling, Night Owl felt it too.

After listening to his subordinates' reports, he stood by the glass window overlooking the deck, gazing at the deep blue ocean. In just one more day, they would arrive.

A white figure flashed into view in the waning light, and I almost instinctively followed my gaze.

His sword-like eyebrows furrowed in displeasure. Just now, the doctor had come to say that Lin Jinran's illness was gone, and he just needed to rest and take care of himself.

Just recovering from an illness, how did he end up on deck getting some fresh air

Are you getting ready for a bout of illness

His eyes darkened, and suddenly, Ye Xiao turned around and strode out the door.

Lin Jinran just consulted the doctor, and a little movement can speed up healing.

She came up to the deck precisely because her subtle inquiries had revealed that Ye Xiao was currently in his study, and the study's floor-to-ceiling window overlooked the deck.

Since she's chosen, she's going to see it through.

As expected, before she could even stand for a minute on the deck, a tall figure appeared at the main entrance, striding towards her with long legs.

"Lin Jinran, are you preparing to fall ill again"

"I won't abuse my body," Lin Jinran replied crisply, glancing at the man walking over.

She knew that even if she abused herself, Ye Xiao wouldn't let her go.

She needs to get out of here.

"No, you've just recovered. What are you doing here" Ye Xiao coldly snorted, completely unconvinced by Lin Jinran's words.

To him, going out to catch the wind right after he got sick was a sign that he didn't want to recover at all.

It's stuffy in here, the windows are sealed shut by your subordinates.

Lin Jinran pursed her lips, feeling wronged. She found a suitable excuse, not quite a lie, to explain her presence. She had only come out because she wanted to run into Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao frowned, "Bu Feng, who are you planning on opening for tonight"

“I just accidentally forgot, I didn’t mean to sleep with the window open.” She wasn't lying about that. She had taken a bath and forgotten to close the window, which led to her catching a cold.

"Go in." Ye Xiao ignored whether Lin Jinyan was telling the truth or not. It didn't matter to him. Even if Lin Jinyan really wanted to abuse her, he had a way to pull her back from the brink of death!

Unless he wants her dead, she is not allowed to die.

"Wait a moment." Lin Jinran stopped Ye Xiao, pursed her lips that were tinged with paleness, and looked into the man's black eyes, "Where are you taking me"

The night owl stared at her with deep, dark eyes, saying nothing."She purposely avoided the topic, taking a deep breath and saying, "Why would I be jealous Besides, I'm not going to her birthday party, and I won't buy her a gift!"Raising her head stubbornly, she cl...
