Lin Zhixia's expression stiffened for a moment: "How...how could this be? It was just a temporary measure between him and me. I just didn't expect this matter to be exposed so quickly."

Xu Yanzhou nodded: "That's good. I'm doing this for your own good. After all, A Yuan hasn't remembered anything yet, so his personality is definitely different from before. But it's uncertain what will happen when he finds out the truth."

"I know."

Everything now is because Li Chengyuan has lost his memory. If he hadn't lost his memory, given his relationship with the original owner's mortal enemy, they would have been destined to never cross paths in this life.

How could I possibly be in a relationship? That's ridiculous.

Xu Yanzhou opened the car door for her: "Let's go to my sister's house. Don't hesitate. You can look after each other. To be honest, I'm really worried about leaving you in the hotel."

After much deliberation, Lin Zhixia finally agreed to Xu Yanzhou's request.

Xu Yanzhou had helped her a lot before; she had only mentioned a few things about the child's problems, and they had given her 20,000 yuan.

The saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to him; he who takes another's money is bound to him." It may be crude, but the principle is sound.

"Okay, then I'll have to trouble you during this time."

Xu Yanzhou smiled gently: "You've got it backwards. We're the ones who've troubled you. Don't worry about A Yuan. Even if you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have left him in the hospital unattended. I just called and arranged for a caregiver to go and take care of him."

"You don't need to worry about the expenses. You've been helping out at my sister's house these past few days, so consider that as payment."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhixia breathed a long sigh of relief.

Thank you.

"Get in the car."

Xu Yanzhou drove Lin Zhixia back to his sister's house. When he opened the door, Xu Xingtao was already waiting at the door. As soon as she saw Lin Zhixia, she greeted her warmly.

"Miss Lin, welcome."

Lin Zhixia nodded slightly to Xu Xingtao: "Miss Xu, I'm so sorry to bother you for a while."

Xu Xingtao's face was beaming with pride, and her overly enthusiastic attitude towards Lin Zhixia made Lin Zhixia feel less reserved.

She pulled Lin Zhixia into the house: "Come in quickly, I've been waiting for you for so long, I'm so glad you're here."

Xu Yanzhou put Lin Zhixia's luggage inside: "Sister, please take good care of her for me. I have to go to the hospital now."

At this moment, Xu Xingtao only had eyes for Lin Zhixia, ignoring Xu Yanzhou completely, and kept waving her hand to urge him on.

"Get out of here, get out of here. I already have Miss Lin here, what do I need you for?"

Xu Yanzhou shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly: "A realistic woman."

After Xu Yanzhou left, Xu Xingtao pulled Lin Zhixia to sit on the sofa.

"Yanzhou has told me about your situation, so don't put too much pressure on yourself. Just hang in there. Once you've adjusted, I'll pay you double the market rate. You don't need to worry about anything else with Xiaobao, but you might need to help him sometimes when he cries..."

"Miss Xu, you're too kind. Just give me the market price; besides, you gave me too much last time."

Lin Zhixia felt a little embarrassed.

"Don't worry, my brother paid for it. He has plenty of money, so let him pay if he wants to."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhixia couldn't help but chuckle twice.

Is it...is it still possible to do this?

……

Xu Yanzhou left the residential area, where Ah Sen was already waiting in his car. Upon seeing Xu Yanzhou, Ah Sen nodded slightly.

"Mr. Xu, as you instructed, the document has been sent to Bai Muqing's email address."

"Hmm." He took out a cigarette from his pocket, held it between his long fingers, and put it in his mouth. Ah Sen lit the lighter, and Xu Yanzhou lowered his head slightly, bringing the blue flame closer.

The crimson flames reflected in his eyes behind his glasses, and the gentleness he usually possessed had vanished, leaving only darkness.

He leaned back in his chair, slowly tilting his head back to reveal his long, sexy neck. He parted his thin lips slightly and exhaled a puff of pale blue smoke.

His originally gentle features were obscured by the smoke, making them appear somewhat indistinct.

"I originally thought Bai Muqing was a smart person, and that once she got to the hospital and saw A Yuan, she would definitely go in and acknowledge him. I didn't expect her to turn around and leave!"

"It made me take such a big step later on."

"Fortunately, the matter was still resolved. Miss Lin is already home, and Bai Muqing will definitely go to the hospital to see President Li as soon as she sees the email."

"We must keep Lin Zhixia's presence in our family a secret. She hasn't left the country yet. If Li Chengyuan finds out that Lin Zhixia is in our family, he will definitely come to demand her back. With the current strength of our Xu family, we are no match for the Li family."

Asen nodded slightly: "I know, but fortunately Miss Lin doesn't have many friends here, so it shouldn't leak out."

Xu Yanzhou and Asen went to the hospital, and then entered the ward with the caregiver they had hired in advance.

Li Chengyuan lay on the hospital bed, and in just a few hours, he looked completely dejected, his face lifeless, and the light in his eyes extinguished.

Xu Yanzhou frowned, still somewhat surprised. The once spirited and carefree Second Young Master Li, who never worried about matters of the heart, had actually fallen into such a state.

Does he...like Lin Zhixia that much?

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Xu Yanzhou stepped forward, his gaze falling on Li Chengyuan's hands, which were covered in blood.

"A-Yuan, what are you doing?"

He turned around and said to Asen.

"Go get the doctor right away."

"Yes."

Soon the doctor arrived with a nurse. When he saw Li Chengyuan's condition, he was taken aback and quickly instructed the nurse beside him.

"You two help me to re-treat the wound."

Several nurses helped Li Chengyuan re-bandage his wound and checked his leg.

The doctor breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, his leg is fine, but the injury to his hand is a bit more serious."

After the doctor finished treating Li Chengyuan's wound, he reminded Xu Yanzhou again.

"You're his friend, right? His injury has only been healing for a few days and is starting to improve. You really need to take good care of it now, otherwise the wound will get infected again."

Xu Yanzhou nodded slightly: "Thank you for your help, doctor."

After the doctor and nurse left, Xu Yanzhou stepped forward and said, "Why did you make yourself look like this? Zhixia has already told me about you two. You two are indeed... not a good match."

Li Chengyuan couldn't help but scoff, giving Xu Yanzhou a cold, sidelong glance.

Whether it's suitable or not is up to us to decide. When did it become anyone else's place to judge?

Xu Yanzhou knew he was in a bad mood, so she didn't argue with him. Instead, she turned on her phone and threw it in front of him.

"Take a good look for yourself."

Li Chengyuan slowly picked up his phone and glanced at it. When he saw the report, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
