Mrs. Liu sighed because she couldn't find it, and said calmly, "Then let him pick you up. During this period of time, it is best for you not to go out alone...or do you need me to send someone to take you back?"

"No thanks."

An Xin turned around, held the doorknob, opened the door and walked out.

She had no other ideas and planned to pay the hospitalization fee and then take a taxi home.

Although their family was definitely not short of medical expenses, since she was injured to save her, she should naturally pay for the hospitalization expenses.

After walking only a few meters, her steps suddenly stopped.

Looking up, a tall man in a black coat stood in front of her. The man frowned and looked at her bloody clothes. His eyes were as dark as ink and he asked in a deep voice, "Why don't you call me?"

An Xin looked away from him, "I forgot."

She walked past him and said calmly, "I have to pay the medical and hospitalization fees. Will you come with me?"

She walked less than half a meter when the man grabbed her arm and said in a gloomy voice, "Don't worry."

The strength in his hand was too heavy, and An Xin frowned in pain, "What are you doing?"

Looking at his increasingly gloomy face, she probably knew why he was angry, so she pursed her lips and said, "Pay the money first, I want to go eat, I didn't eat anything at noon, I'm very hungry."

After a stalemate for about ten seconds, Lu Yinghuai let go, no longer holding her arm, and instead took her hand. He still suppressed his emotions and followed her wishes, but his voice was low and tight, "Okay, Go pay first and then eat."

When paying for the formalities, he ignored the card she handed over and took the card out of his wallet to swipe it.

An Xin didn't say anything to anyone and took his card back.

After completing the formalities, Ran Ke, who received Lu Yinghuai's phone call, arrived with An Xin's clothes.

The man took off her coat, then lowered his head and put the clean clothes and scarf around her neatly. He refolded the changed clothes and put them into the bag and handed them to Ran Ke.

Of course, Ran Ke already knew what happened in the morning, so he couldn't help it and asked, "Madam, why don't you call and ask me to take you off?"

An Xin pursed her lips, took her long hair out of the scarf, combed it casually with her fingers, and said calmly, "I just planned to go to a nearby shopping mall to buy some things and come back. I thought nothing would happen, so I didn’t call you anymore.”

She did consider asking Ran Ke to pick her up at that time, but she gave up after a second thought.

Ran Ke glanced at Lu Yinghuai.

The man said calmly, "Go back first, I will call you later."

Ran Ke nodded, "Okay, Mr. Lu."

After leaving the hospital, Lu Yinghuai found a restaurant and took An Xin to eat.

It was now one o'clock in the afternoon. After passing the restaurant, there were not many people in the restaurant, only two or three scattered tables.

Order and wait for your food to be served.

Handing the menu to the waiter, An Xin took another sip of the hot drink the man ordered for her. When she put down the cup, she looked up at the silent man sitting opposite her.

Unexpectedly, he met the man's extremely deep black eyes. He was staring at her, as if he had been staring at her for a long time.

An Xin averted his gaze, picked up the cup of hot drink again, held it in her hand, lowered her eyebrows, and asked softly, "Why are you here?"

The man still had a cold face, "The security guard in your community called me. Someone in the hospital saw you and called me." He paused for half a second and narrowed his eyes. "Only you, no one." Thought about calling me.”

He couldn't believe what she said she had forgotten.

After an accident, people's subconscious and conditioned reflexes will instinctively look for the person they rely on most, let alone being almost stabbed with a knife.

It shouldn't be said that she didn't think about it. She decided not to fight after thinking about it.

An Xin raised her eyes again and looked straight at him, "Have you ever asked him, if I don't leave you, will he choose to kill me directly after killing my grandma?"

Lu Yinghuai's eyes narrowed as he stared at her, and his breathing became heavier several times.

An Xin chuckled lightly, "Don't look at me like that. I don't blame you for almost getting me stabbed... You have arranged for Ran Ke to pick me up and protect me. I didn't call her today either..."

Indeed, if she had asked Ran Ke to follow her, no one would be hurt today.

She put down the hot drink and said with a faint smile, "I always have the right to know how much risk I have to take or what kind of price I may have to pay to maintain this relationship... Only when I know this clearly can I measure the burden of carrying such a burden. Whether I still want to have a dangerous relationship or not, or one day I really do, that is my choice, and I will not regret it before I die."

"Peace of mind." She said it lightly, but the man almost called her name in a gloomy voice. He stared at her face with deep eyes. After a while, he said in a cold voice and hoarsely, word by word, "What happened today was the last time."

After a long while, An Xin looked at the cup of hot drink that was gradually losing steam and said, "Okay."

Because there were few people, the food was served quickly.

An Xin said nothing more, picked up her chopsticks and ate quietly.

After the meal, Lu Yinghuai didn't call Ran Ke to pick up An Xin, so she thought he was going to take her back by himself.

After the car drove some distance, she realized that this was not the direction back to the apartment.

She was startled, turned her head and asked, "Where is this going?"

The man concentrated on driving and said calmly, "Go and pack up that piece of shit that wants to look after you."

After a long moment of silence, An Xin said "Oh" and did not express any objection.

She turned her head to look out of the car, remembering the moment when she suddenly rushed over in the underground parking lot.

At that time, her mind was blank. She was neither shocked nor surprised, nor was she heartbroken.

It just felt like a dream.

It's ridiculous.

It sounds selfish to say that she actually would rather that the knife was stabbed in her body, and that it was just a matter between her and Lu Yinghuai.

After all, Mrs. Liu had stated her purpose from the beginning, and even if this purpose was a life-saving grace, she could not achieve it for her.

1999.

In a very luxurious club in Yuncheng, Lu Yinghuai took her directly from the underground parking lot to the private elevator to the top floor.

Lu Yinghuai held her hand all the way.

A box with a lot of space and luxurious decoration.

The sofa was a high-quality burgundy color. William was wearing a beige windbreaker, sitting with his slender legs crossed, holding a half-burned cigarette between his thin lips, and the white smoke slowly dispersed.

When he saw An Xin coming in, he immediately stood up and looked at her worriedly.

It wasn't until An Xin smiled reassuringly at him that he relaxed a little. Then he half-closed his eyes and casually glanced at the ball on the ground, raised his chin and pointed.
