Especially... when he met Bai Tingxin today, he was obviously trying to hide his emotions and thoughts.
However, he lost it when he heard about Qin Lianyi.
"But he and that Gao Manlin..." Ling Yiran said hesitantly.
"There must be a reason for that. Sometimes, you can't have things both ways. You naturally have to make a choice," said Yi Jinli.
Ling Yiran was stunned. "Do you mean Bai Tingxin chose Gao Manlin because he wanted to get the Bai family back?"
"It's just one of the possibilities," said Yi Jinli.
Ling Yiran was silent. 'Is Bai Tingxin really like that? What is he going to tell Lianyi?'
Yi Jinli held Ling Yiran's hand tightly as if to soothe her anxiety and tension.
In the ward, Qin Lianyi and Bai Tingxin were looking at each other. The person in front of her was so close, but she somehow felt that he was very far away... Very far away...
The distance between them now was even further than it had ever been.
"Is it... true... what's on the news?" she stammered. It had been some time since she woke up from her coma, but she only managed to speak in the last few days. She was still not too fluent.
Bai Tingxin was silent. After a long time, he replied, “Yes.”
Qin Lianyi trembled. "Are you... dating... another woman?" She tried to open her eyes wide as she asked. It was as though she wanted to see him better.
Qin Lianyi slowly lowered her eyes as if thinking about something, while Bai Tingxin continued to kneel in front of her as if waiting for something.
Both of them were like statues.
Sometime later, Qin Lianyi's somewhat dry lips moved and she murmured, "Bai Tingxin... It turns out... your love… Your love for me only amounts to this.”
Bai Tingxin's pupils suddenly constricted, and his face instantly turned pale. His hands that hung beside his body were clenched into fists as if he was trying hard to suppress something.
Qin Lianyi smiled gently, but her smile was so bitter.
She had never felt so much pain even when she was between life and death, but she was in excruciating pain now!
