"Yi Heng!"

Suddenly, a tired and nervous female voice entered his ears. Ling Yiheng looked up in puzzlement, only to see Qiu Shitong dragging her luggage towards him, looking exhausted.

"Why are you here?" he asked, his eyes calm.

Qiu Shitong took a few deep breaths before simply saying goodbye to Zhou Heng, leaving her luggage behind. Then, she ran towards Ling Yiheng.

"I-I heard that auntie was hospitalized, so I immediately came over. Is she okay?" Sweat was dripping down Qiu Shitong's forehead. She must have rushed over after running for a while.

"Right now, I'm resting inside. The situation is fairly stable." Ling Yiheng's tone was neither fast nor slow, he didn't want to tell Qiu Shitong about his mother's illness.

In his heart, Qiu Shitong was still an outsider so he didn't need to know that much. Moreover, in order to ensure his mother's recovery, he didn't plan to tell her.

"That's good. I'm really scared to death. As long as Auntie is okay." Qiu Shitong relaxed and sat down on a chair in the nearby corridor. It was as if she had collapsed.

Ling Yiheng looked at Qiu Shitong, then at Zhou Heng, and ordered, "Zhou Heng, escort Mika home."

At this time, he did not want to deal with her, nor was he in the mood to do so.

But before Zhou Heng could react, Qiu Shitong quickly shook her head, "Brother Yi Heng, you don't need to send me home. Tonight … I'm afraid I'll have to go to your house and stay there for a while. I forgot my key. "

Her somewhat bashful look made Ling Yiheng somewhat upset. It didn't matter if her reason was real or fake, he had no intention of letting her stay in his house.

"I can get Zhou Heng to find someone to unlock it for you." His cold eyes did not contain the slightest trace of emotion.

He and Qiu Shitong became a so-called unmarried couple purely because of the wishful thinking of his mother and her aunt. However, this was not something that he would agree to, so he tried his best to stay at a distance so that he wouldn't have to say too much.

"It's so late now, I'm afraid to go back alone …" "Yheng gege, just let me stay for the night. I won't disturb you." There was a hint of expectation and fear in her eyes, and there was a hint of lovely and moving gentleness in her shining pupils.

Ling Yiheng wouldn't be moved by her appearance, but he immediately thought of his mother. If she asked Qiu Shitong about it when she woke up and knew that he had rejected her request to let her go back alone, she might get angry.

At this time, his mother was not to be angered.

In the end, he compromised.

"Alright then, let's go now. You can rest well and come see my mom tomorrow." As he spoke, he walked towards Zhou Heng, preparing to let him drive home.

Qiu Shitong opened her mouth and was about to say something, but in the end, she did not say anything and followed behind him.

She let out a sigh in silence, staring foolishly at Ling Yiheng's tall and handsome back, not knowing when she would be able to get close to him.

He had always been this way to refuse her, even wanting to cancel their engagement. This made her panic and nervous, but she still didn't want to give up.

Taking a deep breath, Qiu Shitong quickened her pace and followed behind Ling Yiheng with great difficulty.

However, he acted as if he wanted to pull away from her on purpose, and didn't slow down because of her arrival. Instead, he strode towards the stairs and quickly left the hospital.

Zhou Heng carried her luggage and walked to the front, but he did not forget to wait for Qiu Shitong to get on the car.

Originally, Qiu Shitong wanted to sit in the back seat with him, but Ling Yiheng opened the car door and got into the passenger seat. She had no choice but to sit in the back seat by herself.

Ling Yiheng didn't say anything along the way. His handsome face didn't show the slightest emotion, but carried an icy coldness. His pair of deep eyes were like the abyss, he couldn't see the bottom of it, nor did he know what was hidden in his heart.

Qiu Shitong felt extremely tired, so she didn't have the energy to ask any more questions and just quietly closed her eyes to take a nap.

Zhou Heng drove for about 20 minutes before arriving at Ling Yiheng's house.

He helped Qiu Shitong put the luggage in and left, leaving Ling Yiheng and Qiu Shitong behind.

She had been hoping that Ling Yiheng would arrange everything for her, but he only left a message for her to stay in the guest room before hurrying upstairs.

She stood there alone, her heart filled with joy extinguished in an instant.

Was this the first time she had had the chance to spend the night in his house, but had she had to face the loneliness alone?

Her heart skipped a beat. Subconsciously, she didn't want to miss such a good opportunity.

He then swept away his exhaustion and went to the bathroom. He cleanly gave himself a bath and wrapped himself in a long white towel, exposing his white neck and flushed cheeks. His lips were soft and tender.

He lowered his head to look at his exquisite and smooth thigh. His heart was beating faster with nervousness.

He didn't know if this was considered luring him into a corner or not. However, she really wanted Ling Yiheng's heart.

Recently, she always had a feeling that if she didn't seize this opportunity to win him, it was very likely that their engagement would really end in the past.

Gritting her teeth, she tried her best to suppress her nervousness and panic as she walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a bathrobe.

Initially, he wanted to go to Ling Yiheng's room, but after thinking about his attitude towards him, he decided to change the method.

She looked around and finally fixed her eyes on the open kitchen. When she saw the milk, she had an idea.

Qiu Shitong heated up the milk, took the milk cup and followed her memory upstairs to Ling Yiheng's room.

At this moment, Ling Yiheng had just finished his shower. He had wrapped a towel around his waist and was still undressed. In his hand was a dry towel that was used to wipe his unruly hair. Suddenly, he heard knocking on the door.

There was no one else at home, so it had to be Qiu Shitong.

He didn't want to open the door, but the light in his room was on, and it wouldn't be right if he didn't open it.

With a helpless frown, he walked over and opened the door. However, he only opened the door by a small crack that was a few centimeters wide.

Seeing Qiu Shitong's face, which was wrapped in a bath towel and glowing with spring light, his gaze immediately darkened.

Qiu Shitong could smell the scent of his bath milk, which was the smell of the sea. It seemed like he'd just finished his bath as well.

This discovery made Qiu Shitong blush and her heart beat faster. She could not help but think of the picture of a beautiful man coming out of the bath. She could not help but let her imagination run wild, and even her ears started to turn red.

However, she was afraid that Ling Yiheng would see through her and reject her. She might even kick her out of the house. That would not be worth it.

She quickly said, "I, I'll bring you a cup of hot milk. I know you just got here on a plane, so you must be tired. A cup of milk will help you sleep."

Ling Yiheng opened the door a little more and saw the milk in her hand.

He wanted to open his mouth and refuse, but looking at her concerned face, he couldn't say a word to reject. In the end, he let her in.

Qiu Shitong walked in the door and looked at him. Her gaze slid across his well-defined face and saw his deep yet eye-catching facial features. His smooth lines and thin lips that stuck out to his nose gave off a reserved and dignified aura.

Her heart couldn't stop beating like crazy. It was as if there were several drums pounding in her heart, on the verge of exploding.

This is the man she's been in love with for a long time, Qiu Shitong thought as her eyes became a little intoxicated.

"Cough, cough." Ling Yiheng coughed lightly twice, then interrupted Qiu Shitong's train of thought. He suddenly came back to his senses and looked at him embarrassedly.

"You can put the milk there. Rest early." He was obviously being ordered to leave.

However, Qiu Shitong did not leave immediately. Instead, she looked at him and then at his bedroom.

Ling Yiheng was a little impatient, and was about to open his mouth to say something, only to find that Qiu Shitong had suddenly approached him.

Her eyes were blurry as she sized him up, almost unwilling to leave.

"Mika, you should get some rest." Ling Yi Heng held his forehead restlessly, feeling that he was about to run out of patience with her.

At first, it was only because his mother forced him to marry her, but at that time, he was truly uninterested in love. It didn't matter if he married someone, but it turned out to be a huge mistake.

If he hadn't agreed, he wouldn't have given her any illusions.

Qiu Shitong's expression turned a little awkward and hot, but she still didn't want to leave.

"Big brother Yi Heng, we haven't met for a long time, have we? We haven't had a proper chat since we hurried off last time. " Her tone was so soft that no man would have been able to refuse her.

However, Ling Yiheng didn't want to take advantage of this situation, and didn't want to agree to her request for a chat.

"It's late now, so let's talk tomorrow if you want to, okay?" He sounded tired and a little impatient.

He knew what Qiu Shitong wanted to do, but she wanted to cultivate their relationship and get close to him. Did she not know that he had rejected her again and again?

He didn't mention that he wanted to end the engagement because he didn't want to make his mother sad, not because he had any feelings for her.

Qiu Shitong lowered her eyes in disappointment and lowered her head as well. She clasped her hands together and muttered, "I understand, big brother Yi Heng."

After saying that, she slowly turned around and walked out of his room. Her back gave off a sense of loneliness. Before she left, she did not forget to say "good night" to him.

Ling Yiheng didn't give any response. He just closed the door and continued wiping his hair.

After returning to her room, Qiu Shitong collapsed onto the bed. Her eyes and nose were red, and she couldn't help but hug herself and sip lightly.
