Chapter 569: Chapter 569: He’s Very Greedy

But she died, using such violently indelible means, Rong Shaoze might never forget her for the rest of his life.

And what could she use to compete with someone who had passed away?

Even she couldn’t forget Du Ruoxin and still felt deep guilt and admiration for her; did she really have the courage to compete with her for Rong Shaoze’s love?

Lin Xinlan sadly realized that she had fallen into the web of love and had already begun to worry about gains and losses.

She felt so uncomfortable and uneasy just at the thought of it that she could hardly bear it.

If she became the second Du Ruoxin, would she, too, go crazy like her?

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. Several times, she wanted impulsively to hug Rong Shaoze and ask him if he still loved her as he did at the beginning.

Ask him if someone else was in his heart, ask him if they could go back to the past.

But she didn’t have the courage to ask.

She was afraid to know the answer and restrained herself from contacting him.

Subconsciously, she was tormenting and punishing herself in this way.

She blamed Du Ruoxin’s death entirely on herself, and if she didn’t suffer, her heart would feel very guilty.

But she also knew she was only asking for misery, yet sometimes people love to be obstinate and confine themselves, using it as a way to imprison and punish themselves.

How many people can truly achieve enlightenment?

Lin Xinlan thought she had hidden her feelings well, but Rong Shaoze understood all of her thoughts.

He watched silently, waiting for when she would overcome her inner demons and truly fall in love with him without any reservations.

Kow that if he helped her through this mental crisis, what about the next time?

If a second Du Ruoxin appeared, would she react the same way?

He would never allow her love to be constantly submissive, retreating at the slightest hurdle.

He was very greedy; he wanted a lot. He wanted her love to be complete, crazy, selfish, and careless about everything.

Such love, like Du Ruoxin’s, was crazy and frightening.

But he wanted it!

Only such love could make him feel secure and ensure he would never lose it.

Although the love Lin Xinlan gave him was deep enough, it was still not enough...

Xinlan, it’s not enough, what I want is far more than this.

Tao Hua closed the laboratory door, and his assistant, a nurse, approached and said:

"Dr. Tao, I think I left my watch in the laboratory yesterday. Could you open the door so I can retrieve it?"

Tao Hua looked at her, his lips curling into a devilish smile. "Nothing should be left in the laboratory; how could you be so careless as to leave your watch inside?"

"I’m sorry, I’ll be more careful next time," the nurse apologized earnestly, with a hint of pleading and injustice in her innocent eyes.

After a moment of silence, the man nodded: "Fine, go in and get your watch, but don’t let it happen again."

"I promise, there won’t be a next time!"

Tao Hua unlocked the door and went in first, with the nurse following closely behind.

The spacious laboratory was as white as new, the floor so clean there wasn’t a speck of dust, and even the air was fresh.

The experiment table was also clean and tidy.

At a glance, aside from some bottles and jars, there was nothing else.

The nurse searched carefully, frowning and muttering doubtfully:

"Strange, it was definitely here, how could it be gone?"
