I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 391 What are you going through right now...?

Yu Lingxue pursed her lips, staring at the handkerchief Bai Cang offered her for a long time before finally taking it and wiping away her tears...

"Don't tell anyone what you saw today, understand...?"

"Good good."

Bai Cang shrugged helplessly, leaned back on the bench, watched Yu Lingxue wipe away her tears, and said softly:

"Do you need help?"

"Need not!"

Yu Lingxue answered without hesitation that she could solve everything on her own if she needed to rely on others. Besides, even if she had to rely on someone, she couldn't rely on Bai Cang!

Her relationship with Bai Cang was like that of sworn enemies; no matter how miserable she was, she would never ask him for help...

"Okay, whatever you say."

Bai Cang waved his hand dismissively and replied with a nonchalant air.

Then, as if she had thought of something, Yu Lingxue hesitated for a few seconds before slowly asking:

"Do you know... the son of the chairman of Dongzhu Lingwen Group?"

"what?"

Bai Cang paused, frowned, and thought for a moment. Instead of immediately answering Yu Lingxue's question, he asked in return:

Why are you asking about him?

"It's none of your business! If you know anyone, just tell me!"

Yu Lingxue shook her head; she had no intention of telling Bai Cang what had happened... he would definitely look down on her...

"I do know him, but he's not a good person. He indulges in all sorts of vices, including drinking, gambling, whoring, and smoking. He might even have a criminal record, but it's all been covered up."

"Heh...I guessed so."

Yu Lingxue sneered. She had no expectations of this person at all, and that was exactly what she had guessed. He was no good person, just a spoiled brat.

At that point, I can only hope that the other person doesn't even like me, then I can be completely out of danger. I only agreed to go on that blind date, I didn't agree to get married or anything...

Yu Lingxue exhaled a breath of stale air, as if expelling all her fatigue and worries, and her expression returned to normal...

She stood up, handed the handkerchief to Bai Cang, and said, "Here you go. I have to go back to take care of my mother. Tell Ranran that I'm fine and don't need to worry."

Bai Cang glanced down at the handkerchief, smiled faintly, and said, "It's all your tears, you should at least wash it clean and give it back to me, right?"

"You don't want it anymore? Fine, then!"

Yu Lingxue rolled her eyes at him, stuffed the handkerchief into her pocket, and then turned and left...

Bai Cang watched Yu Lingxue's retreating figure grow smaller and smaller as she walked further and further away, then called out:

"Just let me know if you need my help!"

I said I don't need it!

Yu Lingxue raised her hand to indicate goodbye, and then disappeared into the dark streets...

"laugh--"

Bai Cang chuckled, crossed his legs, shrugged, and gave a helpless look...

"Yin Mengran never contacts guys, didn't you know that? And you're supposed to be her best friend..."

As he spoke, Bai Cang suddenly took a letter out of his pocket...

"If I hadn't intercepted this love letter... how would I have known what you're going through right now..."

Bai Cang looked down at the love letter, then crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the trash can beside him, muttering:

"Dongzhu Lingwen... alright."

A few days later, in Tianheng, Huzhou, Yin Mengran got up early for work as usual. She had been alone these past few days.

Yu Lingxue is still in Dongzhu, taking care of her mother, and hasn't come back.

Yin Mengran sat in a chair, propping her chin up with her hand, and muttered, "I wonder how Yu Lingxue is doing..."

Although she had called Yu Lingxue frequently these past few days to inquire about the situation, Yu Lingxue always said that everything was fine.

Knowing Yu Lingxue as she did, even if something were to happen, she wouldn't tell her...

Therefore, Yin Mengran is very worried, fearing that something might happen to Yu Lingxue...

"Knock Knock-"

Just then, Yin Mengran heard a knock on the office door...

This pulled her back to reality. She looked towards the door, paused for a moment, and whispered:

"Please come in."

Then, the office door slowly opened, and while Yin Mengran was still wondering, a head peeked in from outside and looked into the office...

"Hello~"

When Yin Mengran saw the head peeking in, her face lit up with surprise.

"Hey?! Tang Zhi! What brings you here?!"

The newcomer was Tang Zhi. Upon seeing Tang Zhi, Yin Mengran immediately sat up from her chair, walked around the table, and went straight to Tang Zhi.

Tang Zhi opened the door, walked in, and smiled:

"I just came to see you. I'm off today and have nothing to do, so I came here to hang out with you. Are you disappointed that it wasn't Zhou Heng who came?"

"No way! I'm really happy you came to visit me!"

Yin Mengran laughed heartily, grabbed Tang Zhi's wrist, and said happily,

Previously, it was always Zhou Heng who came to see her alone. The last time she saw Tang Zhi was the day they arrived in Tianheng, which was almost a month ago.

"Huh? Where's Yu Lingxue?"

Tang Zhi glanced around but didn't see Yu Lingxue. She felt a little strange. Normally, shouldn't Yu Lingxue be by Yin Mengran's side taking care of her?

Mentioning Yu Lingxue, Yin Mengran's face fell, and she said:

"Sigh... A few days ago, Yu Lingxue's mother was hospitalized, and she is taking care of her mother at the hospital now."

"She's in the hospital? Oh... I didn't know. She didn't tell us. I'll go see her on my way back."

"Well, she probably didn't tell you because she was afraid you'd worry, so I didn't tell you either."

Yin Mengran nodded. She knew that Yu Lingxue didn't want her to tell anyone else, so only she knew about this.

The two then sat down, and Tang Zhi looked at Yin Mengran and asked, "How is it, Tianheng? Are you comfortable here?"

Yin Mengran immediately beamed and nodded, saying:

"Of course it's comfortable! It feels just like home here. I can do whatever I want, and the work isn't tiring at all. My mom takes great care of me; she doesn't let me work for too long and will call me to rest when it's about time..."

Tang Zhi chimed in, "There's just one drawback, isn't there Zhou Heng? Hahaha..."

"Oh dear...you know the answer already..." Yin Mengran smiled and gently patted Tang Zhi's leg, not denying her words.

The two chatted for a few more minutes, then Tang Zhi pointed outside and said:

"Hey, perfect timing! Take me to see Tianheng, I haven't really had a proper look around here yet..."
