The curtains were not properly drawn, and the faint light of the morning sun shone over the sickbed, causing those who had been sleeping to wake up.

Ouyang Xue raised her hand to cover the blinding sunlight, but she found that she didn't even have the strength to move. She shook her head, which was a bit dizzy, and found herself in the hospital.

After thinking for a while, Ouyang Xue remembered that it was Lu Yunqi who had sent her to the hospital when she fainted in the bathroom at home. She raised her head and looked around, only to discover that the other party was not here.

"Who are you looking for?" Xu Leng, who was sitting at the side, spoke coldly. He had been living here for such a long time that Ouyang Xue hadn't noticed him. It was obvious that she was thinking about someone else.

"Where's Lu Yunqi?" Sure enough, Ouyang Xue turned to Xu Mu and asked.

"Heh, you're looking for him the moment you wake up, why didn't you ask me?" He could not control his temper and angrily said this to Ouyang Xue. It was precisely because Ouyang Xue had ignored him again and again, that a proud man had forcefully turned into this appearance.

"I'm sorry …" Ouyang Xue felt a little awkward when he said this, so she buried her face in the blanket and spoke in a muffled voice.

"You know that what I want is not an apology, but your attitude. What was so good about Lu Yunqi? He doesn't take you seriously at all. You're the only one who keeps his old vow, so why can't you recognize this fact! " The main reason for Xu's anger was her lack of self-love. He kept chasing after Lu Yunqi, even abandoning his original life. The Ouyang Xue he liked should have been full of self-confidence, instead of self-pity and self-love that had completely lost all of its original vitality.

"I just like him." Ouyang Xue mumbled to herself, clearly not taking Xu Ge's words to heart.

Sighing deeply, Xu said to Ouyang Xue, "You should leave this place with me and start a new life, not linger in the past."

Ouyang Xue didn't say anything. Because of the incident with Lu Zhengting that night, she felt that she wasn't worthy of Xu. Moreover, Ouyang Xue was very unwilling to accept this. She bit her lower lip and thought, it was obviously because of Lu Yunqi that I encountered such a situation. If I couldn't be with him, then why did I give up my dream and return?

"Give me an answer. Do you want to pretend that nothing happened and cover your ears?" Xu asked.

"I won't be with you. Are you satisfied with the answer?" Ouyang Xue said to Xu Mu with tears in her eyes.

The man standing beside the bed sucked in a breath of cold air. Although Ouyang Xue had been rejecting him from the start, this was the first time she had been rejecting him in such a strict manner.

"Yes, I just don't like you. From the very beginning, the person I liked was Lu Yunqi. It used to be now as well. Ouyang Xue turned her head around, unwilling to look at Xu Mu's expression. She tried her best to act cold and indifferent, saying some malicious words to him. In fact, she kept apologizing to Xu Wen for taking care of her all these years. Ouyang Xue was very grateful to him for taking care of her, but the current her was not worthy of Xu Wen, so she could only use this method to force him away.

"Alright, you don't need to say anymore. I completely understand. "Ouyang Xue, good job, just think that I, Xu Mu, have been thinking too much all these years." He sneered, picked up her coat and walked out of the ward, leaving Ouyang Xue crying in the room.

Not long after, an annoying man walked in and said in a weird tone, "Who dares to make our little princess cry?"

"Get out of my way, I don't want to see you." Ouyang Xue spoke in a muffled voice to Lu Zhengyuan.

However, that man completely ignored her. He placed the lily in his hand on the table and said to her, "Flowers with beauties, the flowers I picked specially for you today, do you think they will look good?"

Ouyang Xue didn't say anything as she turned her head to the side, looking like she didn't want to bother with him.

Lu Zhengting didn't care about his attitude. Naturally, he poured himself a cup of water and drank as he said, "I heard you were hospitalized so I came to see you immediately. Why isn't my brother here?"

His words were like a knife stabbing Ouyang Xue's heart. She no longer had the patience to sit up and say to Lu Zhengting, "This has nothing to do with you."

"As the old saying goes, a husband and wife is merciful for a hundred days. Why is Lady Ouyang Xue so unfriendly now?" Lu Zhengting said to her with an evil smile.

The words of the other person made Ouyang Xue instantly uncomfortable. That night's events were engraved on her body like a humiliation, making it impossible for her to move forward. She could only grab onto the only life-saving straw beside her in order to barely survive. And that life-saving straw was the one in front of him, Lu Zheng Ting.

Ouyang Xue didn't say anything as she quietly looked at Lu Zhengyuan. Her face was about the same as Lu Yunqi's, but there was also a fundamental difference. Although the two of them shared half the blood, Lu Yunqi deeply detested his cheap younger brother.

"I want to discuss something with you." The calming Ouyang Xue told Lu Zheng Ting.

"What is it?" Seeing how serious the other party was, Lu Zhengyuan put away his sloppy attitude.

"I'm willing to marry you." Ouyang Xue lightly said as she looked at him.

"Eldest Miss is finally willing to accept my suggestion?" Lu Zhengting revealed a crafty smile. He had told Ouyang Xue at the hotel that if Lu Yunqi wanted to return to her side, she would marry his.

Now that Ouyang Xue had finally thought it through, she knew that she had no other choice. She could only be forced to work with Lu Zhengting and use this method to get close to Lu Yunqi. She despised herself in her heart, but she said to Lu Zhengyuan, "Please remember our agreement."

"That's only natural. I hope that we can cooperate happily." Lu Zheng Ting said with a smile.

"As long as Lu Yunqi can return to me, no matter what method I use, I will try to even go to hell." Ouyang Xue involuntarily grabbed the blanket and muttered to herself.

Lu Zhengting walked over to her and patted Ouyang Xue's shoulder, "I'll definitely help you. After all, I also want to see Lu Yunqi's regretful expression."

"You're not allowed to do anything against him." Ouyang Xue glared at Lu Zhengting and viciously said that even if he was reduced to his current state, she would still protect Lu Yunqi in her heart.

Lu Zheng Ting laughed in his heart. Ouyang Xue was too naive. Did she really think she could control him? However, he did not express it on the surface. Instead, she said in a considerate manner, "Of course, we are partners who each take what we need. Of course, I will respect my partners."

Ouyang Xue was relieved when she heard his words.
