Chapter 608: Chapter 608: The Sickness in His Heart

"Hmm, you can lie down and rest, but don’t close your eyes. I’m already scared, I’m afraid that if you close your eyes, you won’t wake up again."

Only then did Lin Xinlan notice his appearance.

His beard had grown out, unshaven.

There were bloodshot veins in his eyes, and his hair was somewhat disheveled, from which she knew that he hadn’t rested well in the past couple of days.

Noticing her gaze, Qiao Yiyang touched the stubble on his chin and said with a smile, "Do I look very sloppy now?"

"..."

"I’ll go and freshen up. Don’t sleep, sleeping too much isn’t good for your health. The sun is nice today; I’ll take you out for some sunshine later."

Lin Xinlan didn’t say anything.

Qiao Yiyang quickly washed up, changed into a new set of clothes, then brought a wheelchair over and pushed her around the garden for a walk.

The sunlight was indeed nice today. Lin Xinlan squinted her eyes, not uttering a single word.

It was always Qiao Yiyang who talked, describing Rome’s history and fun places.

Talking about taking her around once she got better.

He had even made plans.

Lin Xinlan wasn’t in the mood to listen to all this. Suddenly, she asked him, "Qiao Yiyang, what do you feel about Lu Xiaofan?"

The man was stunned, not expecting her to suddenly bring this up.

They found a bench, sat down, and he faced her, smiling, "Don’t worry, I have no feelings for her. She hurt you, and I’ve already punished her."

"She likes you a lot."

"I know, but I don’t like her. Xinlan, I only have feelings for you," the man said seriously.

Lin Xinlan sighed, "I don’t like you. Qiao Yiyang, you could try to have feelings for Lu Xiaofan. I think aside from her, no one else will ever love you that much. Don’t you want someone to love you wholeheartedly, to trust you? She is your best option."

Qiao Yiyang’s gaze slightly darkened, and he rose, saying indifferently, "Xinlan, I’ve told you, apart from your love, I don’t want anyone else’s. Let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s go, I’ll take you somewhere else."

After several days of rest, Lin Xinlan’s injuries had almost completely healed.

Outside, the war between the Fenghuang, the Mafia, and the Qianyue group was still fierce.

Since their powers were strong, the war affected not only the underworld but also the legitimate world.

International police had stepped into their conflict, not only attempting to quell the strife but also planning to eradicate all three of these dark forces in one fell swoop.

If it were only the Mafia, Rong Shaoze wouldn’t struggle so much.

But the Qianyue group was extremely powerful, and with their combined strength, he found himself somewhat overwhelmed.

Rong Shaoze had never given up on persuading Yuan Ye, the boss of the Qianyue group, hoping that he would give up his cooperation with Qiao Yiyang and instead work with him.

Xu Yao said to him, "He won’t betray his word; otherwise, no one in the world would work with him in the future."

"I know. But this is the quickest and most effective way. Moreover, everyone prioritizes their interests. If my offer tempts him, he should consider cooperating with me," Rong Shaoze said coldly.

Ever since he returned from Rome, he had barely had any downtime, constantly directing his subordinates in the struggle against the Mafia and the Qianyue group.

That night, he left Lin Xinlan behind and fled alone.

This incident had become a sickness in his heart, one he regretted so dearly. How could he have run away?

Even if it meant death, he shouldn’t have left her and fled.

What was he thinking at that time, how could he have left her behind!!
