Chapter 281: Chapter 281: Just Let You Be Willful Once

"Are you really so heartless?"

"The one who has always been heartless is you. My heartlessness toward you now doesn’t even compare to one percent of what you’ve done to me."

A silence fell behind her, and then Rong Shaoze suddenly burst out angrily, "In one word, you just hate me for hurting you before, right?! You just won’t forgive me, right?!"

Lin Xinlan turned her head, her eyes calm as she looked at him.

Compared to his rage and agitation, she seemed very indifferent.

"Why should I not continue to hate you? And why should I forgive you?"

He quickly said, "I can be good to you..."

"That’s not what I want."

"Then what do you want..." What?

He didn’t finish his question because he remembered what she wanted.

She wanted freedom, to leave him, to have him never appear before her again.

But he could never satisfy her with that request.

Rong Shaoze clenched his fists tightly, his whole body tense as if struggling to contain something.

Suddenly, he got out of bed in a fury and stormed out, slamming the door behind him.

Lin Xinlan breathed a sigh of relief and caressed her belly, slowly closing her eyes.

The next morning, Rong Shaoze’s anger had subsided.

He had come to realize that every time Lin Xinlan spoke to him, there was a sting in her words, and there was no point in taking it to heart.

As long as he persisted in treating her well, she would eventually be moved by him and treat him well in return.

After breakfast, he continued to suggest, "Xinlan, let’s go to the hospital later and have the doctor check on you."

Lin Xinlan halted her steps to leave, her brow slightly furrowed, "I made it very clear last night, I don’t want to go to the hospital."

"I don’t think that constitutes a reason for you not to go."

"Then what reason do you need?" she asked, looking at him with a cold, mocking smile.

"I’ve been sick too often. I’m thoroughly sick of the smell of hospitals, and I hate taking medicine and getting IV drips. I dislike it even more when you are nice to me; the nicer you are to me, the more I want to do the opposite of what you want. Are these reasons sufficient for you?"

Rong Shaoze’s eyes darkened slightly, "Do you mean to say that if I’m not good to you, you’ll be good to me?"

"..."

"If that’s the case, I don’t mind being unkind to you. However, although I’d really like you to treat me better, I still can’t bear to be unkind to you."

Lin Xinlan didn’t want to listen to his nonsense and said indifferently, "You don’t need to persuade me to go to the hospital. If it hasn’t stopped in a couple of days, I’ll go without you telling me to. Don’t worry, I won’t harm my own body just to spite you."

Since she had put it that way, Rong Shaoze could only compromise.

"Fine, I’ll let you have your way this time," he said indulgently, as if indulging a very rebellious girl.

Lin Xinlan’s brow furrowed slightly, she shifted her gaze away indifferently, feeling extremely irritated and helpless inside.

She longed to escape Rong Shaoze, but continuing on like this between them, what was it all for?

————

Time quickly passed, and two days later, Lin Xinlan’s period still hadn’t ended.

Ten days had passed; who has a period that lasts for ten days straight?

If they do, it’s usually because there’s something wrong with their body.

Rong Shaoze said coldly that he would take her to the hospital, and Lin Xinlan did not object; she went with him.

They went to Tao Hua’s hospital, located in B City, which is very famous for treating gynecological diseases and hardly any hospital compares to it.

Sitting in the examination room, the doctor asked Lin Xinlan some questions. She didn’t answer much, but instead said to the doctor:

"I think it’s probably related to the miscarriage I had a while ago, which is why my period is irregular.
