"Ya Qing, I have something else to do and I can't accompany you to lunch."

Long Haoxuan was no longer in the mood to accompany Ying Yaqing. She was a little disappointed, but she couldn't force it, so she nodded, "Okay."

"Yaqing, I'll treat you to lunch. We haven't seen each other for a year. Let's catch up on old times."

Bai Jiangyuan and Ying Yaqing were also old acquaintances, so she agreed, "Okay."

It just so happened that she also wanted to chat with Bai Jiangyuan.

"Girl, you have a good rest. I will come see you again."

Bai Jiangyuan raised his hand and stroked the back of Xue'er's head. She was really helpless. She told him not to come again, but it was useless.

Ying Yaqing glanced at Long Haoxuan and left with Bai Jiangyuan.

The ward instantly became quiet, and you could hear a pin drop.

Seeing Long Haoxuan standing in front of the hospital bed without moving, Xueer said awkwardly, "Young Master, if you have something to do, please leave first. There is no need to stay here."

"You think I want to stay with you?"

Long Haoxuan had a dark face and grabbed Xueer's hair.

"ah!"

Xueer was startled and her head was forced to rise.

Long Haoxuan's hand was so strong that it hurt her scalp as it pulled at her, but she had to hold back her tears.

"What are you doing?"

"what?"

Long Haoxuan smiled sarcastically, ignoring Xue'er's embarrassment, "Do you think you can get rid of me by hooking up with Bai Jiangyuan? I tell you, it's a dream."

"I don't."

Xue'er was very helpless. She didn't like Bai Jiangyuan at all and never thought of hooking up with him.

She would not attach herself to a man she didn't like just to get rid of Long Haoxuan.

"Better not."

Long Haoxuan pointed his finger at the wound on Xueer's back and threatened her coldly, "Don't try to escape. If I catch you again, it won't be as simple as suffering some torture."

"I won't run away again."

Xue'er was trembling with fear. It would be terrible if Long Haoxuan opened her wound again.

She didn't want any more bleeding or stitches, it was too painful. She finally got through it, and she didn't want to have to go through it again.

"Remember your words."

Long Haoxuan's hand left Xue'er's back, turned around and left.

Xueer breathed a sigh of relief and then her tears fell.

No matter what, she will hold on until Rowling comes out and resolves the matter.

…

Dining room

Bai Jiangyuan finished ordering food and poured water for Ying Yaqing, "Why did you come back early?"

"After the project was completed, I came back early. The team returned to China as usual."

Ying Yaqing originally wanted to give Long Haoxuan a surprise, thinking that he would propose to her immediately, but unexpectedly she was disappointed.

"Eager to come back and discuss marriage with Haoxuan?"

Bai Jiangyuan smiled, "Before you went abroad, he proposed to you, but you refused, which really surprised us."

"I have to go work abroad for a year. This cannot be changed."

Ying Yaqing was also helpless, "He proposed at the wrong time. If he proposed before I decided to go abroad, I would have agreed without saying a word."

Maybe if you miss that time, there will be no next time.

She felt extremely uneasy inside.

Bai Jiangyuan nodded, "Some things really require the right time, the right location, and the right people."

"Has Haoxuan dated other women during the year I left?"

Ying Yaqing wanted to find out the answer from Bai Jiangyuan. After all, he had a close relationship with Long Haoxuan.

"That's not true."

Bai Jiangyuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Ying Yaqing, "What? Are you still worried about Haoxuan? He is not the kind of person who is flirtatious. Since he is with you, he will naturally not provoke other women."

"I have nothing to worry about him."

Ying Yaqing smiled awkwardly, "It's just that when I came back this time, I felt that he didn't have the same enthusiasm for me as before. Being with me was like coping, and he was a little impatient."

"You should also know what happened to the Long family."

Bai Jiangyuan sighed softly, "Haoxuan had a hard time growing up. He was suppressed by his stepmother. My uncle had a heart attack and was hospitalized, but she didn't show up to take care of him."

"I know that."

Ying Yaqing was a little angry, "Haoxuan told me that while my uncle was in the hospital, that woman took a lot of money and ran away."

"So that's it."

Bai Jiangyuan finally understood why Xueer was hospitalized and Luo Lin didn't come to take care of her.

He felt very sorry for Xue'er. Her father died and her mother ran away again. Now she only has one half-brother.

Long Haoxuan's attitude towards Xue'er was not friendly, and he probably took out Luo Lin's resentment on Xue'er.

The waiter pushed the dining cart over to serve the food, "The dishes are ready for both of you, please take your time."

"These are what you like to eat."

Bai Jiangyuan signaled to Ying Yaqing to use the chopsticks first. She actually had no appetite, so she reluctantly picked up some vegetables and put them in the bowl.

"What? The food is not to your taste?"

Bai Jiangyuan saw that Ying Yaqing was absent-minded. She smiled awkwardly and replied, "No, it tastes good."

"Come on, I'll toast you with a toast. I'll take it as a welcome blessing."

Bai Jiangyuan's words stimulated Ying Yaqing.

If Lin Shan hadn't said he wanted to pick her up that night, how could she have gone to the appointment? If she hadn't gone, they wouldn't have given them the opportunity to frame her.

She suddenly waved her hand and knocked the cup out of Bai Jiangyuan's hand, spilling the red wine on the table.

"What's wrong?"

Bai Jiangyuan looked at Ying Yaqing in surprise. She came back to her senses and shook her head, "It's nothing, my hands are shaking."

The waiter came forward and cleared the red wine from the table so that it would not affect their continued meal.

"I'll pour another glass of wine."

Bai Jiangyuan didn't take it to heart, poured another glass of wine and greeted Yaqing, "Welcome back."

"Thanks."

Ying Yaqing cheered up, raised her glass, clinked it with Bai Jiangyuan, and took a sip of wine.

The two chatted while eating, and her mood gradually stabilized.

After lunch, Bai Jiangyuan proposed to send Ying Yaqing back, but she refused.

"No, I want to go shopping in the nearby shopping mall. I will go back to my parents' house in a few days and bring them some gifts."

Ying Yaqing's parents live in another city in country C. When she returned to China this time, she did not go back to her parents' house first, but flew to see Long Haoxuan first.

"Okay, if you need me anywhere, just look for me."

Bai Jiangyuan paid the bill, got in the car and left.

Ying Yaqing walked slowly along the street. Not far away was a large shopping mall with everything she wanted.

Suddenly she saw a familiar figure walking into the mall entrance, and immediately ran after her.

When she entered the mall, she saw no one again.

"Damn it, where did everyone go?"

Ying Yaqing cursed bitterly, the person she just saw was Lin Shan.

This bitch blocked her number. Even if she changed her number and called, Lin Shan wouldn't answer.

She went to Lin Shan's residence and couldn't find anyone at all. He was obviously avoiding her.

How could she give up after finally getting her to see this bitch?

She searched around the mall and finally saw a jewelry store in Lin Shandi.
