Song Kai left the hospital and asked Lu Linlin out for dinner.

Lu Linlin was filled with anticipation when Song Kai invited her to dinner. She wore an off-shoulder dress and made herself look especially beautiful.

When she arrived at the restaurant, which was popular with couples, she saw Song Kai in a suit and the smile on her face became even brighter.

“Song Kai, you look so good in a suit!”

“Okay.”

Song Kai’s attitude was perfunctory. He got them a table and sat down. “Don’t overthink this. We re just play-acting.”

Lu Linlin1 s face fell as she lowered her head in disappointment.

However, she was still very happy to be able to have dinner with him.

After dinner, she wanted to go to the movies with him, and Song Kai didn’t refuse.

During the movie, Lu Linlin wanted to hold his hand. Song Kai glanced at her and acceded.

This was only because he must offer his enemy candy so that they would let him beat them up!

Lu Linlin’s heart was filled with joy as she held Song Kai’s hand.

After the movie, the two of them went for a walk. They walked to a less crowded place and Song Kai told her to wait for him there while he went to buy drinks.

Lu Linlin nodded with a smile and watched Song Kai run to find a convenience store.

Suddenly, a hand covered her mouth. She struggled in shock, but she couldn’t break free and was dragged into some shrubs away from the walkway.

The masked man was very strong. Lu Linlin was frightened and struggled even harder.

T he man held a dagger against her neck and told her that if she struggled, he would cut her artery.

She was scared and stopped struggling. She could only whimper while she listened to the man tear off her clothes.

T he tearing sounds were like blades slicing her eardrums. She looked up and saw Song Kai walking back to where they were, holding two bottles of water.

He was like light in her darkness. Lu Linlin tried to call for help.

But Song Kai did not hear her and even called her name loudly.

T he man tore her clothes and touched her. She felt so disgusted that she wanted to vomit.

In the darkness, her beam of light couldn’t illuminate her. Lu Linlin lost hope.

Was she going to be ruined just like that?

She shouted in her heart for Song Kai to save her.

Song Kai seemed to have noticed movements in the shrubs. He walked over and even shouted her name.

“Lu Linlin!”

“Sob, sob, sob…”

But he stopped. Lu Linlin cried sadly. She could almost touch the light. Almost…

“Lu Linlin, where are you?”

T he masked man seemed to have realized the danger. He took her waller and ran our.

Lu Linlin twisted her body to make a noise so that Song Kai would notice her.

“Sob, sob…”

When Song Kai walked up to her and removed rhe gag from her mouth, she cried tears of joy.

“Song Kai, Song Kai, he was trying to rape me.”

Song Kai looked at rhe figure that ran far away and revealed a sinister smile.

He then turn to face Lu Linlin with a worried look.

“Lu Linlin, are you okay?”

“I’m fine.” Lu Linlin said between sobs. After her hands were untied, she slumped into his arms and hugged him tightly.

“I was frightened to death, Song Kai. Thank goodness you came back. If you didn’t come back, I would have been ruined by that horrible man.”

Song Kai disliked her touch, but for the sake of the plot he had written, he comforted her, “I’m sorry for making you suffer.”

He then took off his coat, draped it on her and scooped her up.

Lu Linlin leaned into his arms with relief. She was still scared when she thought about what had just happened.

“Someone is trying to harm me. I must find out who it is!”

“Yes, we must. I’ll take you to a hotel first. You can take a shower, change into some new clothes before we check out the surveillance videos.”

“Okay. Song Kai, you are so good to me. Do you like me a little?”

Song Kai sneered in his heart. He only wanted her to experience the fear and desperation of being assaulted.

However, there was a hint of a smile on his handsome face. “Don’t forget that we re partners. 1 need the power of the Lu family. As for liking you, let’s see if you will develop the charm to attract me.”

Lu Linlin thought that she had a chance and was a little excited.

She was secretly happy that he carried her for so long after her terrifying ordeal.

Song Kai brought her to a hotel, and then went next door to buy some new clothes for her before returning to her hotel room.

Song Zhou, who had seen Song Kai’s actions, recorded everything and showed it to Jiang Jingchen.

Song Zhou even lamented, “This Song Kai is quite ruthless. He arranged for someone to kidnap Lu Linlin and scare her. And then he appeared and saved the damsel in distress. He punished Lu Linlin while gaining her gratitude. She d be even more in love with him now.”

“He has brought her to a hotel now. If he had people take photos of them coming out of the hotel together with Lu Linlin wearing a different set of clothes, everyone would know what the two of them were doing in a hotel.”

“He’s quite smart, killing a few birds with one stone.”

Jiang Jingchen nodded. He admitted that his love rival was quite cunning.

However, he scoffed, “So what if he’s quite smart? He just wants to use the power and influence of the Lu family to establish himself in the Song family. Lu Linlin is just a piece of trash. She’s worthless.”

Hearing his comment, Song Zhou felt that Lu Linlin wouldn’t be able to handle Jiang Jingchen’s next move.

“How about Fu Jin? Any action there?”

“Yes, he seems to be checking on Lu Linlin1 s whereabouts. 1 wonder what he’s going to do.”

“This Fu Jin’s family has been practicing medicine for generations. His family is famous in the medical world, but they have been very low-key for generations. No one really knows how much they are worth.”

Song Zhou sighed. Tang Beibei’s peach blossoms were all remarkable people, each more outstanding than the last.

Jiang Jingchen raised his eyebrows. “He’s also a rich second-generation heir. Tsk, he ‘s a perfect match for my wife. Song Kai is a medical student, so he’s also a perfect match for my wife. How?”

Song Zhou wouldn’t dare to comment.

Jiang Jingchen chuckled. “But none of them are as good as me. I’m my wife’s first husband!”

“Young Master is right!”

Song Zhou quickly flattered him, but what Jiang Jingchen said was also the truth.

No matter how beautiful those rotten peach blossoms were, they would fall with a sudden gust of wind and bear no fruit.

However, Song Zhou looked at Jiang Jingchen’s legs, Tang Beibei’s first husband also couldn’t give her a happy ending.

Jiang Jingchen added, “Then we let Fu Jin show us what he’s capable of. Wait for him to make a move before you make your move.”

“Yes, sir!”

Song Zhou sympathized with Lu Linlin. She had been fed arsenic, yet she thought it was syrup.

But she deserved it. She had stepped on the wrong toes!

Jiang Jingchen asked, “Did you bring the things I asked you to buy?”

“Here it is.”

Song Zhou took out a large box. The packaging was exquisite and luxurious. For people in the know, they would recognize the unique design and know that it was an extremely expensive brand of skincare products.

T his brand would custom make skin care products for some wealthy ladies.

Jiang Jingchen opened the box and took out the contents. He tore off the labels and put the tubs, bottles and tubes in a paper bag.

Song Zhou was puzzled. “Young Master, what are you doing?”

Jiang Jingchen said, “I can’t let my wife know what this is, or she’ll be angry.”

Song Zhou choked. If Tang Beibei found out that it was a set of skincare products that cost hundreds of thousands of yuan, she might really be angry and call him a spendthrift.

Jiang Jingchen went into the ward and handed the bag to Tang Beibei. “I went to ask the doctor and got you this set of things. You can use these going forward.”

T ang Beibei saw that it was a paper bag from rhe hospital and asked him how much the things cost. Jiang Jingchen said, “This is from the hospital. It’s very cheap, only about a hundred yuan.”

“Oh, that does sound cheap.”

She unscrewed the moisturizer and smelled a faint fragrance. It felt really good on her face. She smiled and said, “This smells quite nice. It feels even better than the 200 yuan set you got me previously.”

“Use this then.’1 Jiang Jingchen said calmly.

Song Zhou heard the number his young master said and thought to himself that the previous set cost 70,000 to 80,000 yuan; this set now was custom made for her skin and cost 180,000 yuan. Of course, it would feel better than the previous one..
