Chapter 49: Chapter 49 Picking up the Bride

Since receiving the settlement letter, Li Lihua never came to the hospital again. Only Xu Ke almost lived in the hospital, clocking in daily until Lin Mengyao was fully recovered and discharged.

"Impatient to leave, aren’t you? Let’s go. I’ve already processed the discharge papers. I’ll cook you a nice meal to celebrate your release today," Xu Ke said with a smile. The sunset’s glow reflected in Xu Ke’s eyes, making them look like endless seas of flowers and stars, so breathtaking that Lin Mengyao was momentarily lost.

"No need for all that. I need to go check the construction site. I’ve been in the hospital all these days and haven’t seen it with my own eyes, which makes me uneasy. You should go home first. If my mom says something harsh to you, don’t take it to heart or go along with it. Didn’t I send you some money? Find a place to move out to, and when I’m done with this project, we’ll go back together," Lin Mengyao rejected Xu Ke’s proposal, instead offering some advice to him.

"Can I come visit you often then?"

Seeing the hopeful look in Xu Ke’s eyes, Lin Mengyao nodded. She then saw Xu Ke’s eyes light up instantly, his whole being radiating joy as if he’d encountered the greatest fortune, making him exceptionally happy, and causing Lin Mengyao to unconsciously smile a little.

"It’s getting late. I’ll take you to the construction site for a look and then drop you off at the place you’re renting now. Then I’ll go home; I just can’t leave you alone. Is that okay?"

Lin Mengyao nodded. Ever since the incident, although she spoke words of encouragement, she was actually very afraid inside, worried that some punks might jump out and cause trouble again, so she didn’t refuse Xu Ke’s good intentions and instead found him to be incredibly caring.
