“Why couldn’t I stay with you?” The woman had turned hysterical by then.

The man was too bothered to say anything. Furrowing his brows, he put his phone away and waited for her to finish what she wanted to say.

“Wuu… Wuu… Lin Jingxuan, tell me, do you have a mistress? Who were you talking to earlier?”

He suppressed his swelling anger and mustered his patience to clarify. “I had to attend to an urgent matter earlier. As you know, that d*mn old man kicked me out of the Lin Family and confiscated all my assets to gift them to Mo Jiangye. Now, I’m only left with a piece of property that belongs to the Lins, so I naturally have to address this dire situation as soon as I can. You are injured and you need to rest. I would be disturbing you if I continued to stay there, wouldn’t I?”

He continued to coax her after a pause. “I was impatient and I didn’t consider your feelings. I was wrong, but can you empathize with me this time?”

The woman, who was not entirely convinced, continued to sob. “Is that the truth?”

“Why would I lie to you? How did you think I got the latest news when I just woke up in the hospital?”

“Are you sure there’s no third party here?”

“Nonsense! Xiao Rou, why are you still doubting me? Am I not sincere enough?” he asked with a sigh of resignation.

She teared up forlornly. “Still, you shouldn’t have ignored me.”

“As I said earlier, I was impulsive and I hurt your feelings in the process. Alright, stop crying. It’s my fault. How do you want to punish me, baby?”

Gu Feirou’s face finally broke into a smile when she heard that. “I’ll forgive you this time. I can’t bear to punish you in your current frail condition.”

He had suffered a bad trauma indeed.

His brows were still furrowed as he softened his tone to pacify her. “As you can see, I just woke up from a bad attack. I’m tired and you’ll need your rest too. Don’t move in with me. Both of us have to recuperate. Besides, I’ll be seeking external help to recover my former powers and I may disturb you. Be good and stay where you are. I’m right next door to you.”

She could hear the malaise in his voice so she decided to call a truce. “Alright, I’ll listen to you. Brother Jingxuan, you get some good rest during this time. I’ll help you solve your problem with the Lins. My brother is here. When I see him, I’ll get him to help you. I’m sure his status will be of use to you, so don’t worry, okay? Besides, I was badly injured by Mo Jiangye and that b*tch this time, so I’m sure my brother will stand up for me.”

She had been told by Jing Xinze that there were six princes in the Blue Tower Royalty. Not only was she the only princess, but she was also the youngest of the children. This meant that she was the most precious person to her mother and her six older brothers, right? She was sure that this brother of hers would not sit on the fence and do nothing when she had been bullied.

The man let out a sarcastic laugh inwardly. What a bunch of useless royals. None of them was of any help at all! I would rather rely on myself now. That d*mn old man has cut off all my resources, so I have to look for new revenue sources. Don’t think I’ll let you off lightly, grandpa!

“I’ve got to hang up now!”

“Okay. Bye…” She was cut off before she could complete her sentence.

“Get out!”

The nurse, who had just entered the room with his medicine, hastily retreated when he said that.

PONG! The door was suddenly kicked open just as he was about to close his eyes for forty seconds.

The loud sound startled him. Thinking that it was the nurse, he cursed. “D*mn you! Can’t you shut the door lightly?”

“Hello, Young Master Lin. We finally meet again.” Lawyer Zhang walked in with a few men.
