Yu Sangwan's days were pretty much the sa every day.
She still hadn't gone to the hospital for a check-up... Honestly, she didn't have the courage.
What would be the point in going? To hear the doctor tell her how many days she had left to live? Or to listen to the doctor's suggestion... to have surgery?
None of that mattered.
She didn't want to know how many days she had left, living each day counting down... It sounded so miserable. She also didn't want to have surgery, only to die after it anyway. She had checked online; stomach cancer leads to a quick death, and surgery would only make it faster.
Since that's the case, why not live recklessly?
Wanting whatever she desired, spending lavishly, eating indulgently, and after all, it wasn't her own money being squandered.
At the Chanel boutique, Yu Sangwan was trying on their latest designs.
"Miss, you're tall, this design looks great on you, and with your fair skin, it complents the black color well."
Tall? Yu Sangwan was slightly taken aback, rembering how Lu Jinxuan always called her "little shortie," saying she would be "short forever" in this life...
Thinking of those words between lovers now feels bittersweet.
Because of the word "tall," Yu Sangwan suddenly didn't want to buy it.
She smiled and shook her head, "I..."
"Please wrap it up for her, I'll pay." A low male voice ca from the doorway, Gong Hongming had walked in.
Upon seeing him, Yu Sangwan frowned, how did she run into him again? He really was like a ghost that wouldn't go away!
However, she still managed a smile, "Mr. Gong."
Gong Hongming nodded with a smile, took out a card from his bag, and handed it to the shop assistant, "Wrap it up."
"Thank you." The assistant accepted it with a smile.
Yu Sangwan frowned, "Mr. Gong, this isn't appropriate, is it?"
Gong Hongming raised an eyebrow, "What could be inappropriate about a man pursuing soone he likes by gifting her sothing? This dress looks beautiful on you."
"..." Yu Sangwan opened her mouth, wanting to say sothing.
Unexpectedly, Gong Hongming was quicker than her, "I've already arranged a separation with my wife... Now, I'm qualified to pursue you, right?"
"..." Yu Sangwan ntally cursed...
Initially, she just wanted to irritate Mrs. Gong, but didn't expect Mr. Gong to take it more seriously than a young woman! Wasn't he the one who painstakingly won over Mrs. Gong back then? He really was a jerk; after all, young won were more alluring to him than his wife!
The more she thought, the less she felt her father deserved it. Did her father really lose to such a man?
However, she couldn't say that.
You have to understand, Gong Hongming's status wasn't ordinary, she couldn't afford to offend him.
"Is that so?" Yu Sangwan smirked, "Theoretically, you can, but... there are quite a few people pursuing ."
She raised her hand as if checking the ti, "I have a date later."
Gong Hongming wasn't easily fooled, "Oh? Then I'll wait for next ti... But first, let escort you out!"
"Sir, your dress."
The assistant handed the wrapped dress to Gong Hongming.
Gong Hongming held the bag, tilted his head towards Yu Sangwan, "Let's go!"
Yu Sangwan couldn't refuse at this point, worry gnawed at her... What should she do?
The more anxious she was, the faster she walked. As they reached the door, Gong Hongming glanced around and quipped, "Looks like this person is quite unreliable! He didn't even co to pick up a pretty girl like you? I'm suddenly very confident."
"Haha." Yu Sangwan forced a laugh, pointing to a Cayenne not far away, "There, it's over there!"
She quickly hastened her step towards the Cayenne, "Goodbye, Mr. Gong!"
Truthfully, she had no idea whose Cayenne it was.
In monts like this, she couldn't care less. Yu Sangwan arrived at the car, opened the door, and got in.
"..." Mr. Lin was reading the newspaper, and when the car door suddenly opened, a girl sat down next to him, startling him.
"Ah!" Yu Sangwan was also surprised, pointing at Mr. Lin, "You?"
Seeing her, Mr. Lin's thin lips curved into a smile, "Young lady, we et again."
Yu Sangwan felt terribly awkward, laughing sheepishly, "Sorry! I... Can you help now?"
"Oh?" Mr. Lin seed intrigued, "What do you need help with?"
"Uh..." Yu Sangwan looked at Gong Hongming still standing at the mall entrance, clasped her hands together in a pleading gesture, "Can we just drive off?"
Mr. Lin nodded slightly, instructing the driver, "Drive."
As the car drove away, Yu Sangwan covered her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally got away, thank you! Mr. Lin."
Mr. Lin turned, propped his chin, observing her with interest, "And then?"
Yu Sangwan widened her eyes, stuttering, "Are you hungry? How about I treat you to lunch as a thank you for your help?"
"Oh." Mr. Lin nodded, "Lunch, good idea."
The driver drove forward, stopping at a quiet alley. Yu Sangwan had been here before; there was a famous private restaurant inside.
Mr. Lin got out of the car first, opened the door for Yu Sangwan, "Co on, young lady."
Yu Sangwan stepped out, hearing, "There's a nice private restaurant inside, shall we eat here? What do you think?"
Yu Sangwan nodded, fortunately, she had Mrs. Gong's card with her, otherwise... she wouldn't really be able to afford a al at such a high-class private restaurant. "Okay."
Mr. Lin had a reserved private room here, and as soon as they entered, a server guided them to the room.
"Mr. Lin, the sa as before?"
"Hmm." Mr. Lin shook his head, "No, I'll go check the nu..."
He then glanced at Yu Sangwan, "Today I want to eat so dicinal cuisine, is there anything you particularly want? Want to join in picking?"
All the ingredients here were chosen and cooked on the spot, requiring guests to personally inspect.
Yu Sangwan shook her head, "I don't understand dicinal cuisine, you can choose for ."
Mr. Lin recalled her ntioning her health issues, nodded, "I know what's suitable for girls to eat, I'll choose for you."
"Thank you."
Yu Sangwan held the teacup, feeling a warmth. Though she had only encountered Mr. Lin a few tis... the impression he gave her was good; at his age and with such looks and charisma... wasn't he one of those 'uncle gentleman types' that only appeared in novels?
How fortunate to et a living one.
Mr. Lin had left; his suit jacket was draped over the chair back, his small bag and keys casually placed on the table.
Yu Sangwan glanced at them, noticing an intricate ornant on his key; strands of small beads hanging down, seemingly made of pure silver. Yu Sangwan found it adorable, and as she reached out to touch it, she realized, what were those little beads?
They were actually tiny peaches. Peaches, peaches?
Hmm? Yu Sangwan frowned, feeling a strange sensation she couldn't quite describe.
