The moment he saw Liu Xiuyun come in and untie the rope that was tied to Lu Tang, Ji Shengzhou let go of the last taut string and closed his eyes.

"Ji Shengzhou!"

"Ji Shengzhou! Wake up!"

When the last bit of consciousness faded away, Lu Tang's voice was still ringing in his ears.

That day, after the two of them came out of the operating room, the Liu family sent a private plane to take them back to the capital.

Europe is too chaotic and much less safe than Beijing.

The next night, the plane landed in Beijing.

Both were admitted to the intensive care unit of a private hospital in the capital.

Lu Tang lost too much blood, so Liu Ruo followed her and donated blood to her.

After sleeping in bed for three days, she woke up.

Lu Tang slowly opened his eyes, and before he woke up, he began to murmur Ji Shengzhou's name.

She suddenly sat up in bed and pulled her broken leg. A piercing pain brought her back to reality.

Obviously, this accident gave her a great shock.

"Miss Lu, you're awake. Don't worry." Liu Ruo has been guarding her bedside these days.

She helped Lu Tang lie down again and raised the backrest of the bed a little.

When Lu Tang saw her, there was still a trace of surprise in her eyes. She held Liu Ruo's wrist tightly with both hands: "Where is Ji Shengzhou? Where is he?"

After just three or two sentences, Lu Tang's voice was filled with tears.

"Ms. Lu, Azhou... hasn't woken up yet." Liu Ruo sighed, her face full of sympathy.

As these words reached her ears, a sense of brokenness emanated from her entire body.

Liu Ruo quickly comforted her, "Ms. Lu, the doctor said she will wake up tomorrow at the latest, and when she wakes up tomorrow she can be transferred to the general ward."

Lu Tang lay on the hospital bed in a daze, with no light in his eyes.

"Do you know why he is injured so badly?" Liu Ruo thought for a long time before deciding to speak.

She felt that this matter should not be concealed and there should be no misunderstandings between two people in love.

Lu Tang's dazed eyes instantly shifted to her, and she shook her head.

Liu Ruo sat beside the bed and held her hand.

She told her everything that happened after Lu Tang fainted that day.

Including the fact that Ji Shengzhou gave her the opportunity to go to the hospital, which led to him being hit by falling objects from the third floor.

Lu Tang didn't say a word the whole time, and the only thing that expressed her emotions was the tears in the corners of her eyes.

Tears as big as beans fell down like beads with broken strings.

"Actually, there is nothing between him and me. We were both forced by our families. We are just friends who appreciate each other. The one he loves is you." Liu Ruo continued.

"What's more, I also have someone I love." When she said this, her face gradually darkened.

Lu Tang buried her head in the quilt. The surroundings were very quiet, but her heart was already in a mess.

"One more thing, my engagement with him is cancelled."

Lu Tang was obviously startled, but there was no big change in his eyes.

Liu Ruo couldn't bear to disturb her any longer: "Miss Lu, you should have a good rest. I will call you when he wakes up tomorrow."

After saying that, she pushed the door open and went out.

Ji Shengzhou woke up on the second night.

His body was covered with wounds, and the wound on his back was particularly horrific.

The most serious injury he suffered was a blow to the back of his head, which caused a severe concussion.

Lu Tang wanted to come find him after he woke up, but his leg was in a cast and he couldn't get out of bed.

It wasn't until the morning of the fifth day that Lu Tang was awakened by a knock on the door.

"Come in." Lu Tang finished packing and spoke.

Special Assistant Wang pushed the door open with a few nurses and said, "Ms. Lu, your ward has been upgraded to a VIP double room. President Ji asked me to call you up."

The moment he heard that name, Lu Tang was stunned: "Ji Shengzhou?"

Special Assistant Wang nodded.

Lu Tang's eyes turned red instantly and his heart beat faster.

The nurse pushed her bed towards the elevator, which went straight to the top floor.

Her body was shaking, and as the numbers on the display screen in the elevator increased, her body shook more and more.

The young nurse quickly advised: "Ms. Lu, don't get excited. Be careful not to tear the wound."

As he got closer and closer to the room with the open door, Lu Tang's breathing became rapid.

The moment she entered the door, her panicked eyes met Ji Shengzhou's.

"You're here." Ji Shengzhou only uttered these three words.

Lu Tang had mixed feelings. He had a lot to say, but his throat felt like it was clogged with cotton and he couldn't utter a single word.

After settling them down, Special Assistant Wang took the nurse out.

Ji Shengzhou only had minor injuries on his body and was able to get out of bed.

He sat beside Lu Tang's bed and raised his hand to push back her fallen bangs: "Does it still hurt?"

Lu Tang's eyes were full of bloodshot. She shook her head, her voice choked with sobs: "It doesn't hurt."

Now that the engagement is cancelled, everything is no longer valid and they can be together openly.

The discharge date was set for a week later, and that day, Mr. Ji called.

The call was not to Ji Shengzhou, but to Lu Tang.

After receiving the call, Lu Tang was stunned for a moment.

She raised her eyes and looked at Ji Shengzhou.

Ji Shengzhou answered simply: "If you don't want to answer, just hang up. It depends on your own intention."

In fact, Lu Tang had anticipated this call since the day she learned that their engagement was cancelled.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally picked up the phone.

"Xiaotang, I heard that you were discharged from the hospital today. Your legs and feet are not very convenient, so come to the old house for dinner tonight." Grandpa Ji's voice came from the phone.

After hearing these words, Lu Tang's expression did not change.

The words she said last time when she distanced herself from Mr. Ji were still ringing in her ears, and the strained relationship was making her feel a little breathless.

Lu Tang knew why he made this call, it was a compromise.

Now that the marriage has been cancelled, you can guess without asking who Ji Shengzhou will be with next.

Seeing that Lu Tang didn't say anything, Mr. Ji continued, "It's okay if you don't want to come. Just take good care of yourself."

You can tell there's guilt in his words.

Ever since he forced Lu Tang to draw blood last time, Mr. Ji has always felt indebted to Lu Tang.

Lu Tang took a deep breath, and the scene of Grandpa Ji loving and favoring her when she was a child emerged in her mind.

After all, Lu Tang can't let go of this family relationship.

It was very quiet on both ends of the phone. Lu Tang thought for a long time and finally agreed.

After packing up the hospital’s things, Ji Shengzhou personally pushed Lu Tang out the door.

Forty minutes later, the car stopped in front of the Ji family's old house.

When I got out of the car, Mr. Ji was already waiting at the door.

Mr. Ji has difficulty walking, so he came out with a cane.

"Come in, lunch is ready."

His eyes fell on Lu Tang, and there was only heartache in them.

After entering the house, Mr. Ji sat in the main seat, and Lu Tang and Ji Shengzhou sat together.

The restaurant was silent and the air became tense.

After a moment's thought, Old Master Ji spoke: "Xiaotang, how has your recovery been these past few days? You've suffered a lot recently, so eat more."

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of meat and put it into Lu Tang's bowl.

Because of the previous incident, there was already a gap between them.

Lu Tang's hands were faster than her brain, and she subconsciously took the bowl back.

By the time Mr. Ji realized what was happening, his movements had already frozen, and the situation became extremely awkward.
