The male protagonist of a sweet romance novel went on a killing spree in the world of angst novels.

After the doctors and nurses left, only Yanting and Lu Huai remained in the ward.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have pushed you." Yanting sat on the hospital bed, hugging her pillow like a well-behaved penguin. She lowered her eyes and said in a guilty tone, "I will definitely control myself next time."

Upon hearing this, a strange feeling crossed Lu Huai's mind.

Yan Ting's attitude at this moment had an indescribable sense of disconnect.

Four days ago, she resolutely told him to call off the marriage, but now she's acting as if nothing happened.

Lu Huai tapped his knee with his fingers, his gaze thoughtful.

He asked, "Do you remember when you came to my office four days ago and told me that the marriage was annulled?"

Yes, Lu Huai suspected that Yan Ting's memory might have become confused due to being in a coma for four days.

"I remember," Yanting replied listlessly, "but that was just something I said in anger."

Lu Huai's eyes widened. He couldn't understand why Yan Ting's attitude had changed so drastically, but after thinking it over, the most likely explanation was that Yan Ting ultimately couldn't let go of him.

Thinking of this, he felt inexplicably happy, and his thin lips curled up: "That's a good boy."

"Tingting, you must be a well-behaved and obedient child." Be a vase, a canary that can only stay in a cage, and don't even think about escaping. All you need to do every day is wait for your master to feed you.

No one knew that Lu Huai had an extremely strong desire for control. He wasn't truly tired of Yan Ting yet, so this relationship couldn't possibly end unless he said it was over.

Lu Huai always had to give well-behaved children some rewards.

So he smiled slightly and said, "How about I take you to try on wedding dresses in a few days?"

Yan Ting was stunned.

Seeing Yan Ting's dazed expression, Lu Huai raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "Weren't you busy preparing for your engagement banquet?"

"In a few days, I will have my assistant hire a professional wedding dress designer to make a wedding dress for you. We will also hire a photography team from Beijing and choose Shengya Island as the location."

Sanya Island is a romantic island and a popular wedding destination. It is said that couples who get married on this island will receive the blessings of the locals.

Yanting had naturally heard of this small island, and at this moment she should have been overjoyed and weeping, but she felt empty inside, with a sense of loss and desolation.

Lu Huai assumed she was just too happy to react. He glanced at the email that had just been sent to his phone and said, "You've just woken up, so there's no need to rush to leave the hospital. Rest in the hospital for a couple of days first. I still have a project proposal at my company that needs to be revised."

Watching Lu Huai's figure disappear into the ward door, Yan Ting's gaze did not return, but instead fell into a state of blankness.

Just then, the phone rang.

It was Tan Yi calling.

Yanting suddenly snapped out of her daze and answered the phone.

"Tingting," Tan Yi said with concern, "I heard you were in the hospital, what happened?"

"It's an old problem," Yanting said, lifting the covers and getting out of bed.

The ward has a private washroom.

She shuffled to the sink in her slippers. Above the sink was a clear mirror, reflecting a slightly pale, beautiful face. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her nose was straight and prominent, and the two cinnabar moles under her eyes made her seem untouched by the dust of the world.

"You have no idea how scared I've been these past few days." Tan Yi breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought you had been kidnapped, and I almost called the police. If I hadn't seen that gossip news on my WeChat Moments, I wouldn't have known you were in the hospital."

"In the end, it's all that bastard Lu Huai's fault."

Tan Yi was aware of the side effects of Yan Ting using this ability.

So ultimately it was Lu Huai who caused her precious Tingting to end up in the hospital.

Just as Yan Ting was about to open her mouth, her gaze inadvertently stopped on a certain spot in the mirror.

In the mirror, a pink rose diamond was now hanging from what had previously been an empty chest.

"Tingting?" Tan Yi's puzzled voice came from the other end of the phone.

But Yan Ting stared blankly at the pink diamond. After a silence of less than half a minute, she carefully picked up the diamond and gently stroked its crystal-clear surface with her soft fingertips.

The diamond's surface is cut so perfectly that, under the refraction of sunlight, it resembles a masterpiece of art.

Was the gentle touch she felt in her dream last night just her imagination?

……

"Black Cat, this mission is very dangerous. Are you sure you want to take it?" someone asked in a low voice on the other end of the phone.

It's impossible to tell if it's a male or female voice; they must be using a voice changer.

Chen Xiao brushed his pink hair back, revealing his full, white forehead. He bent down, cupped his hands under the tap, and the next second, a splash was heard as the water in his palms hit his face.

tick... tick...

Transparent water droplets spread down Chen Xiao's sculpted features, down his sexy Adam's apple, into his collarbone, and until they disappeared beneath his collar... He lifted his eyelids and stared intently at the mirror. Because of the steam in the bathroom, the reflection in the mirror was somewhat blurry.

But even so, it couldn't hide the man's arrogant and wicked eyes.

As Chen Xiao slowly and deliberately wiped the water droplets from his face with a towel, he said to the person on the other end of the phone, "Answer it."

A single, simple word is clear and concise.

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone: "..."

Chen Xiao didn't care.

Then the voice on the other end of the phone rang out again: "Can you tell me why you chose to make a comeback?"

Everyone knows that Black Cat announced two years ago that he would no longer accept missions.

This sudden return is definitely suspicious.

Chen Xiao leaned his broad back against the wall, opened the can with one hand, tilted his head back and took a swig of soda, then scoffed, "I'm short of money, is that a good enough reason?"

"...Dude, don't joke like that."

If Black Cat is short of money, then everyone in the world is a pauper.

Seeing that the other person seemed genuinely speechless, Chen Xiao opened the drawer of the bedside table and took out a small box from it.

The box was made of velvet, and when you opened it, you found a very beautiful and exquisite rose pink diamond inside.

This rose pink diamond symbolizes the purest love of a young girl. The starting bid was 1 million, and Chen Xiao spent 1.5 million to win the bid.

"There's no other way." Chen Xiao squinted as he carefully examined the pink diamond in front of him, and said lazily, "I need to support a wife."

Upon hearing this, the person on the other end of the phone replied, "???"

Holy crap! Black Cat has a wife?!

"Never mind." Chen Xiao put away the necklace, clicked his tongue, and sighed, "Single people wouldn't understand." After saying that, he hung up the phone.
