Chapter 125 - Falling From Grace (4)

Lan Jinyao felt dizzy as she slightly opened her eyelids. Surrounded by a pure white light, she seemed to see Fu Bainian’s figure within.

She reached out to touch the man. However, after waving her hand in the air several times in an attempt to touch him, she realised it was fruitless, and her hand powerlessly fell to the bed.

When Lan Jinyao completely opened her eyes, it occurred to her that it was just a hallucination. She was all alone in the empty ward.

Lan Jinyao smiled. “Fu Bainian, why haven’t you come?”

Her smile looked somewhat wan.

Lan Jinyao then closed her eyes again. Twenty minutes later, Xiaolin quietly walked in, holding a thermos.

Xiaolin gently called out her name, “Sis Meimei, are you awake?”

“Mhh,” Lan Jinyao responded weakly and opened her eyes. “Xiaolin, President Fu...has he come yet?

Xiaolin shook her head. “No. What’s wrong? Do you want me to call President Fu? In this kind of situation, he should visit.”

“Yeah, in this kind of situation, he really should have visited, but he hasn’t, right?” she chuckled, and due to that, her wound stretched. Due to the pain, she sucked in a sharp gasp.

“Maybe President Fu is busy, and because the production team is very good at keeping work confidential, he doesn’t know yet! Sis Meimei, don’t overthink things, and just focus on recuperating properly!” Xiaolin was anxious and quickly consoled her.

What a clumsy excuse! Fu Bainian knew everything; there was no way to hide anything from him.

Seeing her like this, Xiaolin was depressed, so she tried to change the topic. “Sis Meimei, I don’t think your injury was an accident. That night I saw…”

“Saw what?” Li Qi, who’d suddenly opened the door and walked in, asked urgently.

However, Xiaolin didn’t say anything once she saw that there was an additional person in the room. Initially, Lan Jinyao’s curiosity was piqued, and upon seeing Li Qi enter the room, a thought came to mind. Because of this, she decided to wait until she and Xiaolin were both alone to ask her.

“What did you see that night?” Li Qi questioned once more.

Xiaolin was unwilling to speak at first, but due to Li Qi’s interrogation, she said loudly, “The sword in Xu Hao’s hand was only a prop, so how could it pierce Sis Meimei’s chest? Fortunately, the stab wasn’t deep and it only grazed her flesh. If it had pierced any deeper, Sis Meimei might be dead by now.”

To Xiaolin, it felt like she had an injury matching Lan Jinyao’s on her body, and after she’d finished speaking, she started crying.

Li Qi quickly persuaded her to stop her crying. “Alright, don’t cry anymore. Don’t disturb Meimei’s rest!”

Xiaolin stopped crying, and then said in a choked voice, “Let’s go out. Sis Meimei needs to rest properly.”

While walking out, Xiaolin turned her head to look at Lan Jinyao. Her expression was hesitant like she had something to tell her. However, since Li Qi was still in the room, it wasn’t a convenient time to talk.

Her relation with Li Qi was very good, so to say that they were close wasn’t excessive. Then, why was Xiaolin avoiding Li Qi, and wanted to let only her know? Unless what she’d seen was the reason why Lan Jinyao had received an injury and she didn’t want to disclose it. After all, if it had been just a little more serious, then Lan Jinyao wouldn’t exist anymore.
