36. Black Stockings with Slippers
“Since that’s the case, then why don’t you want to be my girlfriend?” Qin Long half-knelt beside the bed. “Since you’ve already agreed to pretend to be my girlfriend, why not make it real? Hanhan?”
Hanhhan? I’m Hanhan, you’re Jingming, right?
Wen Han internally rolled her eyes but suddenly her lips trembled: “I… I’m afraid…”
“Afraid? Afraid of what?!”
Qin Long narrowed his eyes, only realizing the severity when he saw Wen Han’s wounds and immediately clenched his teeth, standing up swiftly.
“I understand!” He sneered. “Take good care of your injuries; I’ll deal with Lin Xiaomei immediately! You can rest assured, from now on, there won’t be another Lin Xiaomei! I won’t let any woman I love suffer anymore!”
Feeling Wen Han’s adoring gaze, Qin Long’s adrenaline surged, making him feel like a superhero for a moment.
He bid Wen Han a gentle farewell and as soon as he stepped out of the ward, he immediately dialed his phone.
“Hello?… Ah Shun, do you know where Lin Xiaomei is now?… Can’t find her? Find her anyway!… I don’t care, just find that bitch and teach her a lesson!… Oh, and hurry up and get the court to make a ruling, continue stirring up public opinion online… Afraid? What are you afraid of? You’ve done it several times before?… Mm… Mm… Got it.”
With a snap, he turned off his phone and walked out of the hospital coldly.
As long as Lin Xiaomei was taken care of, Wen Han would be his!
Just as that lowly woman had been long overdue for dealing with, as for later…
“Hmph, if anything happens, we can blame it on Wen Han.” He glanced back at the hospital entrance. “This way, I can easily discard her once I get tired of her, avoiding another incident like Lin Xiaomei. It’s a win-win!”
With his family’s power, it was easy to achieve this, especially since it wasn’t the first time.
A calculating smile appeared on Qin Long’s face, and he returned to his Ferrari.
Vroom…
“…Crash!”
Watching the Ferrari speed away.
At that moment, Wen Han stood by the window above Qin Long’s head, biting into an apple brought by Su Zeheng while silently gazing.
“Youngster, let’s see who wins. Click!” She turned around, throwing away the fruit core, “The apple bought by Uncle is quite sweet.”
Muttering to herself, she returned to the bed, taking some fruits from the basket.
“Oh? There really is something?”
At the bottom of the basket was a small box.
Wen Han gently lifted the lid and took out the contents, suddenly narrowing her eyes.
“…Hmm? Why is it in his hand? Did he discover it so quickly?”
In those slender fingers, a wet rose tattoo sticker shimmered under the light.
Her eyes slightly shifted and she suddenly narrowed them: “Wait! Could Su Zeheng have been there just now?”
She didn’t fully believe everything Lin Wujū said.
At that time, she had fainted, and she knew nothing about what happened afterward.
That…
“It seems I should leave the hospital.” Pinching the tattoo sticker in her palm, Wen Han’s lips curled up slightly.
…
On the street outside Star River City Jiege Hospital.
In the early hours, the streets were still desolate, with only a few people near the hospital.
Lin Wujū and Su Zeheng walked side by side, stopping only when they reached the traffic lights.
“Mr. Su truly lives up to being part of the Light Magic Society,” Lin Wujū finally spoke after turning around. “Waiting for the red light even at four or five in the morning?”
“I’m just used to it, and besides, there’s nothing else to do right now.” Su Zeheng also turned his head. “Isn’t Mr. Lin doing the same?”
“I’m just staying by your side to chat longer.” Lin Wujū sneered. “Do you think Wen Han will join the Light Magic Society?”
“…I’m not sure.” Su Zeheng shook his head. “But her nature is kind, unlike those of you who have been corrupted by black magic and willingly serve as servants to the Demon King.”
“No, I think she’s a natural witch. Mr. Su doesn’t know how wonderful her aura is… I’ve never seen such a perfect witch; she’s exceptional! Just like a masterpiece… Sorry, my comparison might not be appropriate.”
“…I’ll do my best to help someone whose heart hasn’t been completely corrupted by you all find their own path.”
“What do you mean by corrupted?” Lin Wujū frowned. “To be frank, I think someone like Mr. Su is the one who’s corrupted.”
Su Zeheng sneered, “What makes you say that, Mr. Lin?”
“Light, justice, these are merely words humans have created.” Lin Wujū sighed. “Don’t you find it ridiculous? If justice works, if the Light Magic Society is right, why is the world becoming more chaotic? What meaning does your work have?”
“You’re shifting the topic.” Su Zeheng shook his head. “Even if the Light Magic Society isn’t perfect, isn’t the chaos caused by your intentional destruction?”
“You could arrest me.” Lin Wujū spread his hands, smiling. “Mr. Su, if I break the law or violate the rules of the magic world, you… could arrest me, right? I won’t resist!”
Su Zeheng stared at him calmly, unmoving.
Lin Wujū burst into laughter. “This is the law! This is the rule! And this is the justice you speak of! So what if you know the reason?”
Su Zeheng took a deep breath. “If not for the stability of the greater good, do you think you could escape?”
“The stability of the greater good?” Lin Wujū shook his head. “The chessboard is vast, and there are many pieces. I fear that in the end, the Light Magic Society won’t be able to control the bigger picture.”
“Is that so?” Su Zeheng showed no emotion. “Then I’m always ready.”
“Coincidentally.” Lin Wujū stood with his hands behind his back. “So am I.”
Beside the crosswalk, the two locked eyes in silence.
After a moment, Lin Wujū glanced sideways. “The light is green. May I leave now?”
“Please go ahead.”
“Thank you. I’m a law-abiding citizen who always follows traffic rules.”
Smiling, Lin Wujū turned away with his hands behind his back.
Su Zeheng turned his head, but the other person was already gone, leaving only emptiness.
“Damn…” He clenched his fist, then worriedly looked toward the hospital. “I wonder how Wen Han is doing; I forgot to ask about her injuries earlier.”
He slapped his head. “I should go back to the office first.”
…
Morning nine o’clock.
“Damn! Lipstick gone, bag gone, even shoes gone!!!”
After checking out, Wen Han, wearing black stockings, walked barefoot on the ground, looking at her legs in disbelief.
Fortunately, there were usually some daily necessities available near the hospital, but after looking around, she ended up buying a pair of pink, cute slippers to get by.
Whoosh—!
Cars whizzed by on the roadside, revealing a figure walking quickly on the sidewalk.
Wearing black stockings with pink slippers seemed very odd.
But beautiful people seem to look good even in burlap sacks, and combined with Wen Han’s confidence, many pedestrians on the way thought this was the latest trend and felt outdated themselves.
Wen Han didn’t feel embarrassed at all. She decisively found a breakfast shop and dialed a number without a name noted.
