Purple Clad said she wanted to go with me. I also wanted to see whether what she had said was true. Since Li Sen was at Second Provincial Hospital, I nodded.
Xu Qiuyan said calmly, "All right, be careful. I'll take Mute back." Then she looked at Fatty, who said, "I've got a job to handle, so I'll be leaving for now. Call me if anything comes up."
After saying that, Fatty hailed a cab and left. Xu Qiuyan also departed with Yin Wuyu. Before leaving, she glanced back at Purple Clad, her expression complicated.
I knew Xu Qiuyan had to be feeling uncomfortable because I had not asked her to come with me.
But I was doing this for her own good. Before, I had been capable of protecting her, and even if I could not, I could at least protect myself. But now, neither of us could really protect ourselves. Rather than have both of us risk danger, it was better for me to face it alone.
"She's jealous," Purple Clad said with a giggle.
I shot her a glare. "Can you stop acting so intimate from now on? We don't seem to be that close."
But she said, "In this world, I don't know anyone except you. No, I know them, but they don't know me. So to me, you're my only family in this world. Besides, I like you!"
She said it naturally, without the slightest hint of affectation.
I was instantly speechless. Although I knew how she had come into this world, she was still a woman. How could I hurt her with my words?
I sighed, then hailed a taxi as well.
Second Provincial Hospital.
I went upstairs first to see Uncle Long and Aunt Qin.
The guards must have received Xie Yi's call
