"How is it? Is my dad in pain?"

Lin Wan'er immediately grabbed Xu Tian's arm, her eyes filled with worry.

Xu Tian smiled. "On the contrary, I think he's enjoying it quite a bit."

Lin Wan'er was taken aback, then said with displeasure, "What kind of time is this for you to joke around?"

Xu Tian became serious, "I'm not joking!"

Lin Wan'er ignored him and instead peered through the only small window in the door.

Lin Zhentian, who had been in a coma due to burns, now lay there peacefully, his brows furrowed.

It seems Xu Tian wasn't lying to her; Lin Zhentian really couldn't feel pain anymore.

Then Xu Tian carefully placed the remaining herbal powder and handed it to the professional nurse.

"Change it every half hour for two days, it might be quite tiring."

Xu Tianshen said understandingly.

The nurse shook her head, smiled, and took the powder. This was part of her job, especially since the person lying inside was the largest shareholder of their hospital.

But Xu Tian was unaware of these things. His stubborn mindset led him to believe that only if you respect others will others respect you.

After giving all the instructions, Lin Wan'er specifically called the dean down.

They replaced Lin Zhentian's medical record with a new one, and changed his name as well, so that no one in the company would know that the real Lin Zhentian was still lying in the ICU.

After the dean respectfully agreed, he escorted them to the door, bowed ninety degrees, and watched them leave.

Currently, the crisis of concealing Lin Zhentian's illness has been resolved, but they are now facing a real test.

Tomorrow, Xu Tian will impersonate Lin Zhentian at the company, and he'll definitely give himself away!

He couldn't even find the elevator!

Xu Tian was also worried about this. He couldn't even remember the names of the people in the company. He couldn't just pretend to be mute, or people would definitely suspect him.

“I’ll go with you tomorrow, and I’ll give you a hint,” Lin Wan’er said.

Even so, Xu Tian was still uneasy. The thought of him pretending to be a complete stranger and going to a completely unfamiliar environment made his heart pound.

Moreover, tomorrow we still have to solve the problems facing the group and deal with many people.

“I will remind you of all of this. Tomorrow, let’s first find out why that general manager betrayed my father.”

Lin Wan'er said from the side.

Xu Tian smiled wryly; he knew he would have to bite the bullet and go for it tomorrow.

Nevertheless, before going to bed, he asked Lin Wan'er for a list of the company's main responsible persons, hoping to remember as many as possible, just in case.

"With your pig brain, you'll forget everything tomorrow after a good night's sleep!"

Although Lin Wan'er was sharp-tongued, she still provided Xu Tian with a copy as requested.

"Want to grab some late-night snacks?"

Xu Tian looked at her suspiciously, "Do you know what time it is?"

Lin Wan'er said nonchalantly, "That's why we need to eat late-night snacks. You don't know, our lifestyle here is different from yours."

"The nightlife is just beginning at this hour."

Since tonight is destined to be a sleepless night anyway, I might as well do something else to distract myself from my anxiety.

With that in mind, Xu Tian agreed.

Lin Wan'er gave the butler some instructions, and the butler left with a smile on his face.

"Xu Tian, ​​thank you no matter what."

Lin Wan'er put away her arrogance and domineering attitude in public, and at this moment she was as docile as a girl next door.

Xu Tian, ​​on the contrary, felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Sure enough, she was obedient for only three seconds. Seeing that Xu Tian did not respond for a long time, Lin Wan'er got angry.

"Hey, I'm talking to you, are you deaf?"

"I, the daughter of a powerful conglomerate, have never said thank you to anyone!"

Xu Tian grinned mischievously, "So, I'm actually benefiting from your generosity?"

Lin Wan'er snorted coldly, "Of course! But you're not allowed to tell anyone that I cried, or I'll cut out your tongue!"

A bead of cold sweat slid down his forehead, and Xu Tian looked at her in confusion.

"How can you speak so viciously? I wonder which man will dare to marry you in the future!"

Lin Wan'er was furious and embarrassed. "How dare you talk to me like that? Believe me, I'll cut your tongue out right now!"

Xu Tian laughed and backed away, "You can save this tongue for your future boyfriend to cut out; I won't take up a spot."

"you……"

Lin Wan'er stomped her foot in exasperation, "You look down on me that much? I'm a dignified..."

"So you're the heiress of a prestigious conglomerate, right?"

Xu Tian picked up where she left off and continued, "Then I'm still the young master of the prestigious Xu Group, worth ten thousand gold pieces!"

"You... Xu Tian, ​​you ungrateful bastard!"

Lin Wan'er's face turned ashen with anger.

Xu Tian laughed, "What, you start swearing when you can't win an argument with me?"

Lin Wan'er glared at him, "You despise me that much? We were betrothed as children, and our parents personally approved of our relationship!"

Xu Tian made a gesture of surrender with his hands, "You'd better spare me, I'm afraid I'm not worthy of a woman like you!"

"What...what do you mean! Am I not good enough?"

Lin Wan'er glared at him furiously.

Just as Xu Tian was about to say something, the lights in the room flickered a few times and then all went out.

In the darkness, a sharp female voice pierced the sky.

Xu Tian was startled and quickly covered his ears.

"Can you please stop yelling? You're deafening me!"

However, this did not elicit the expected response.

Only then, by the faint moonlight from the window, did Xu Tian see Lin Wan'er.

She was curled up in a ball, her hands tightly wrapped around her shoulders, her body trembling slightly, clearly terrified by the sudden darkness.

Oh, so the fearless heiress is afraid of the dark!

Xu Tian's heart stirred, and a mischievous thought quietly arose. He lowered his voice and slowly approached her.

"Oh dear, it's so dark, could a ghost come out?"

His words carried a hint of mockery.

Lin Wan'er's pupils dilated in the darkness, her voice trembling, "Xu Tian, ​​don't scare me!"

She tried to mask her fear with her voice, but it backfired.

Seeing this, Xu Tian couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at her.

"Are you that afraid of the dark? What about when you sleep? Don't you turn off the lights?"

Lin Wan'er's eyes looked even more helpless in the darkness, and her voice was trembling with tears.

“When I was little, my mother would lock me in a dark room whenever she got angry… From then on, I was terrified of the dark.”

As she spoke, her eyes reddened. Xu Tian looked at her trembling back and felt a surge of inexplicable pity.

Thinking of this, Xu Tian slowly reached out and gently grasped Lin Wan'er's cold fingers.

"It's alright, it's just that you can't see it, it's nothing."

Lin Wan'er took the opportunity to rush into Xu Tian's arms. The two were so close that they could almost hear each other's heartbeats.

Just as Xu Tian was about to go find some candles or a flashlight, Lin Wan'er suddenly pulled him back and then covered his soft lips with hers.
