Just as Bai Zhiqing walked to the window of the hospital room to take a call, Lin Yafei, who had escorted Abby outside, walked in.
"Old friend, who is this young lady? She’s so beautiful, aren’t you going to introduce her to ?" Lin Yafei asked curiously, looking at Mandala.
"Manman, let introduce you. This is your sister-in-law’s friend, Lin Yafei." Upon hearing Lin Yafei’s words, Lu Tianxing imdiately introduced Mandala.
"Hello, Sister Yafei. I’ve heard of your reputation for a long ti. As the president of Lin Group, you’re one of the outstanding won like my sister-in-law."
Mandala gave a sweet smile, exuding a vibrant and youthful aura that brightened anyone’s mood.
Lin Yafei smiled and nodded, saying, "Old friend, who is this lovely young lady? Why haven’t I seen her before? Surely, she’s not another product of your romantic escapades!"
"Lin Demon, do you think everyone is as shady as you?"
Lu Tianxing said with an exasperated expression, "She’s my sister."
"Your sister?"
Lin Yafei looked at Lu Tianxing with so surprise. During their first close contact, she had investigated Lu Tianxing’s background, learning he grew up in an orphanage and later joined the military, but she never heard of Lu Tianxing having a sister.
Sensing Lin Yafei’s confusion, Mandala laughed softly and explained, "I’m an orphan. Later, I t my brother, who worried about being hurt, so he regarded as his sister. But in my heart, Lu Tianxing is my real brother."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yafei showed a hint of understanding, quickly stepping forward to take Mandala’s hand and affectionately saying, "There’s no talk of being an orphan. Since you are Lu Tianxing’s sister, you are my sister too. I, Lu Tianxing, and Zhiqing are your family. If anyone dares to bully you, tell , and I’ll avenge you."
Listening to Lin Yafei’s words, warmth surged in Mandala’s heart. She wasn’t naive and had been through storms, knowing when soone’s words are genuine or not. Lin Yafei’s words had no pretense; they were heartfelt, not sothing said just because Lu Tianxing was present.
"Thank you, Sister Yafei."
"Why be polite? You know, your sister-in-law is my close friend, and I’m about to beco your brother’s second sister-in-law. So, in the future, we’ll be one family. If I don’t care for you, then who will?" Lin Yafei said with a smile.
"Second sister-in-law?"
Mandala looked dumbfounded at Lin Yafei who was winking at Lu Tianxing, chanically turning her head toward him as if to say, "Brother, you’re amazing. There’s Bai’s Group too! Now you’re adding another one, aren’t you afraid of recent events happening again?"
Lu Tianxing looked at Lin Yafei with exasperation, thinking, "Damn, this girl won’t rest until she plays dead. Second sister-in-law? There might be suspense even for the third one."
"Manman, don’t listen to Lin Demon. Only take half of what she says seriously."
Lu Tianxing decided to indoctrinate Mandala first. Otherwise, she’s already a little witch, and if she learns Lin Yafei’s tricks and teaches them to Bai Weiwei, he might as well give up living.
"Brother, why do I feel like what Sister Yafei said makes sense? When faced with a beauty like Sister Yafei, are you sure you don’t have any thoughts?" Mandala blinked innocently.
Lu Tianxing straightforwardly rolled his eyes, too lazy to speak further.
Just then, Bai Zhiqing joined them after ending her call, curiously asking, "What were you talking about? Lu Tianxing doesn’t seem happy."
"Sister-in-law, we were saying..."
Before Mandala could finish, Lu Tianxing interrupted, "Honey, we were talking about how you stayed with all last night and didn’t rest today, so you don’t need to stay in the hospital with tonight. Besides, my injuries aren’t serious, and there are nurses here. If anything happens, just look for a nurse. It’s better for you to go ho and get a good night’s rest."
Bai Zhiqing hesitated for a mont before nodding, "Alright, then."
"Yes! Manman, tonight you’ll stay with your sister-in-law."
Mandala nodded imdiately. Bai Zhiqing may not know Lu Tianxing’s intentions, but she surely did.
"Are you sure you’ll be okay alone here?" Bai Zhiqing asked worriedly.
"Don’t worry, what could happen to ? You know my abilities."
Lu Tianxing gave Bai Zhiqing a gentle smile, but a cold killing intent flashed deep in his eyes.
If Heavenly God dares to co tonight, he’ll make sure they pay.
Lin Yafei, standing by, remained silent, giving Lu Tianxing and Mandala a aningful look, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
She understood Lu Tianxing’s arrangent: fearing that Heavenly God might send soone to assassinate Bai Zhiqing upon learning of his injuries. However, she couldn’t comprehend Mandala’s role in protecting Bai Zhiqing despite appearing far from capable.
Could Manman be a skilled fighter in disguise?
Lin Yafei glanced at Mandala, a hint of uncertainty flashing in her mind.
...
Ti gradually passed by, and in a blink, it was nightti.
The night was like ink, cold moonlight spilling down from the sky, draping the world in a silver veil. The chilly glow evoked a faint sense of loneliness.
The evening breeze rustled the leaves, creating a whispering sound that seed particularly jarring in the silent hospital.
It was 11 PM, and the hospital was engulfed in silence. The long hallway showed no sign of people, only illuminated by white lights. Occasionally, outside the hospital, a cat’s screeching echoed in the corridor, instilling an eerie feeling.
Bai Zhiqing didn’t stay in the hospital but returned to the villa at Purple Bamboo Villa, leaving Lu Tianxing alone on the hospital bed. The room door was closed tightly, with no lights on, leaving the room in darkness. Only the moonlight filtered through the curtains, adding a slight glow to the room.
