"Then what are you still doing sitting there?"

Jiang Lan froze slightly and quickly explained: Didn't you let me eat?

She gestured hesitantly: I... will leave after eating. If you are unhappy, I will not eat.

Lu Jingchi just looked at her and smiled, but the smile was not that pretty, and there was even anger in the smile at the corner of his mouth.

Jiang Lan was silent for a while, then she stood up and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, before he could take a step forward, he was pulled back by the man. Jiang Lan was thrown back to the sofa and hit his calf. A heartbreaking pain instantly ran up his calf along his spine, starting from Tianling Gai.

Her mouth was open, a look of pain appeared on her face, pain hit the tip of her nose, and her eyes were red.

Lu Jingchi came closer to her, held her chin, pulled her face apart, and looked at her over and over several times.

Jiang Lan looked at him with difficulty, and after a while, the pain gradually subsided.

The man looked at her with dark eyes for a while, then said, "Jiang Lan, what are you kidding about?"

Jiang Lan twitched her lips, she suddenly didn't know what to say.

"One moment I don't want you anymore, and the next moment I have to leave again. Playing hard to get is not the way to play." He patted her cheek: "Don't learn this, do you understand?"

Jiang Lan was startled, she didn't play hard to get...

She wanted to explain, but as soon as she raised her hand, Lu Jingchi got up and left.

She stared at the man's back, and she didn't know whether it was because she was in too much pain or something else, but tears welled up in her eyes and fell.

This time he left and never came back.

Doctor Hu cooked the food, but Jiang Lan didn't even take a single bite. He had no appetite at all, and it was like chewing wax when he put it into his mouth.

Seeing her loss of appetite, Dr. Hu did not persuade her to continue eating. He gave her a bowl of porridge and said, "If you can't eat it, don't force it. Just drink this porridge and go to bed."

Jiang Lan nodded, picked up the bowl, and drank the porridge as plain water.

Doctor Hu looked at her increasingly thin body and couldn't help but sigh again.

He told Jiang Lan to take the medicine and left the villa. After all, Lu Jingchi didn't ask him to stay here.

Jiang Lan took the medicine and soon began to feel sleepy, especially on this familiar sofa.

The wind was blowing outside, there was a faint sound of sobbing, the clock on the wall was ticking, and the room was eerily quiet.

She nestled on the sofa and fell asleep unconsciously.

——

Lu Jingchi came out of the company and as soon as he arrived at the parking lot, a hand wrapped around his back and hugged his waist from behind.

He paused, raised his hand on his waist, turned around and looked at Xia Yan, "Why are you here?"

"Of course I'm here to wait for you. I'm bored to death at home. I postponed my trip for half a month just to be with you, but you came to the company to work overtime."

Xia Yan complained and buried her head in his arms again. Lu Jingchi would be going to her place these days, so Xia Yan pushed back all the announcements.

As she said that, she raised her head and said coquettishly: "Shall we go back together?"

The man put his arms around her and moved affectionately, but his words were not very pleasant, "I'm not going tonight."

The smile on Xia Yan's lips froze, not just because he wasn't going, but because he said 'not going', not not going back.

Therefore, this ruthless man never regarded her as his home from the beginning to the end.

"Why?"

"I have to go home." He said it calmly, ruthlessly, and so matter-of-factly.

Xia Yan's heart was broken into pieces.

"Did...she asked you to go back?"

Lu Jingchi did not answer, but looked up at the exit of the parking lot. It was windy outside, and the howling sound of the strong wind could be heard blowing in from the entrance.

He let go of Xia Yan, "Are you driving? I won't see you off."

After saying that, he was about to leave. Xia Yan grabbed him and said pitifully: "Wait, it's so late. I'm scared of driving alone. Please send me off!"
