Chapter 801: Chapter 798: Returning to the Beauty Pavilion

"Second Miss is really smart. I’m going to find Lai Xiucheng. Isn’t he pretending to be sick? I’ll just drag him back and throw him in front of those school leaders to see how he explains pretending to be sick," Lin Tian said.

"Is Lai Xiucheng really hiding at Renxin Hospital?" Xiao Manxuan asked with some suspicion because she thought if he was hiding, how could people find him.

Lin Tian nodded and affirmed, "I went to see for myself; he’s admitted to Renxin Hospital."

Just after he spoke, he felt something was amiss. Could it be that as soon as he left, the guy slipped away?

The more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed. Lin Tian sped up his pace and quickly arrived at Renxin Hospital, parked the car, and he and Xiao Manxuan headed straight for the inpatient department.

Coincidentally, the same little nurse was on duty at the reception desk this noon. However, this time she wasn’t playing with her phone but resting her chin in her hands, lost in thought.

Lin Tian didn’t pay her any attention and pulled Xiao Manxuan straight towards the elevator. As he entered the elevator, the nurse glanced up and then muttered to herself, "Is it him?"

The elevator went straight to the fifth floor. After exiting, Lin Tian and Xiao Manxuan headed directly to ward 502. Without knocking, he pushed the door open, only to find no one inside. The quilt on the bed was neatly folded; clearly, it was no longer occupied.

"We came a step late, Lai Xiucheng indeed ran away," Lin Tian said with a frown.

"Could he have been moved to another ward?" Xiao Manxuan peeked in, questioning.

"We’ll know by checking," Lin Tian said, turning to leave the ward.

He and Xiao Manxuan went downstairs and returned to the reception. Since Xiao Manxuan was present, Lin Tian let her do the talking. Women communicate better with one another, avoiding any misunderstood advances from men.

"Nurse sister..." Xiao Manxuan just started to speak when she noticed the nurse’s expression was off, as she was staring at Lin Tian with a mixed look of surprise and joy.

"It’s you..." The nurse said joyfully, directing the question to Lin Tian.

Lin Tian immediately understood the situation from the nurse’s expression. The pupil skill he used on her last time, which he temporarily referred to as the "Pupil Skill," was still in effect.

Did I go too far, affecting a girl for no reason? Lin Tian felt a bit guilty. If she had a boyfriend, breaking them up just because of this would be sinful.

"Uh, could you help me check for Lai Xiucheng’s ward? He doesn’t seem to be in ward 502 anymore," Lin Tian asked politely.

The nurse was taken aback, then quickly came back to her senses and said, "Please wait a moment..."

She tapped a few keys and softly said, "The patient has been discharged and is no longer at Renxin Hospital."

No longer at Renxin Hospital? Lin Tian understood. Seeing the empty ward, he had already guessed it, and now it was just confirmation.

"Does the nurse know where he went after being discharged?" Xiao Manxuan asked.

"Not very clear. It’s said he was transferred, but there are so many hospitals and private clinics in Xikou City, tracking him down is very difficult," the nurse explained truthfully.

"I see, thank you, nurse sister." Xiao Manxuan smiled warmly, her eyes forming little crescent moons.

With Lai Xiucheng discharged, it meant they couldn’t forcibly take him back. Lin Tian realized his initial solution was now pointless.

"Let’s go," Lin Tian knew they wouldn’t get any more useful information by asking further, so he told Xiao Manxuan to prepare to leave.

Just as he turned, the nurse suddenly called out to him.

"Wait... wait..."

"Is there anything else?" Lin Tian turned and asked.

"May I ask, what’s your name?" the nurse asked gently.

"Lin Tian..."

The two words entered the nurse’s ears, but Lin Tian’s figure was already gone, as if he had never been there, like an unreal dream.

Because the moment she heard the voice, Lin Tian had already wrapped an arm around Xiao Manxuan’s waist and swiftly left the reception area. He didn’t want to affect the lovely lady more, as it wasn’t his intention.

"Rascal, you can put me down now," Xiao Manxuan’s slightly embarrassed voice sounded in Lin Tian’s ear.

Lin Tian’s hand was still around her slender waist. Even through the school uniform, he could feel the Second Miss’s skin, smooth as silk.

He couldn’t help but caress her waist a few times before reluctantly releasing her, earning a stern glare from the little girl.

"Uh, we need to go somewhere else. Let’s get in the car," Lin Tian said nonchalantly, as if he wasn’t the one taking advantage earlier.

Xiao Manxuan’s interest was piqued again, and she curiously asked, "Where else are we going?"

"You’ll know once we get there. Since we can’t find Lai Xiucheng, I need to deal with him in another way. Unlike what Principal Yan said, I will not bow to reality. I, Lin Tian, have never bowed to anyone," Lin Tian said with a light smile.

They got in the car, left Renxin Hospital, and Lin Tian drove to the commercial street of Xikou City, a high-end commercial area that’s a paradise for shopping and entertainment.

It was here that Lin Tian met Zhou Botong. Remembering the time he bought lingerie for Zhang Lingyu and ran into the masked Zhou Botong, he still couldn’t help but laugh.

Also, during that lingerie shopping trip, Lin Tian met the charming Zi Yan, a beautiful woman with an older sister-like aura. To this day, she still keeps the secret of Lin Tian’s lingerie purchase.

It’s noon now, so there were no dazzling neon lights, but standing once again in front of Victoria Beauty Workshop, Lin Tian was still drawn to the sexy lingerie in the display window.

It’s often said that the invention of lingerie is one of Heaven’s best gifts to women. It’s no lie; not only does it help women maintain good development, but it also showcases a woman’s mysterious sensuality to the fullest.

Xiao Manxuan looked up at the large nameplate and curiously asked, "Isn’t this Sister Zi Yan’s store? Why did you bring me here? You don’t want... to buy me..."

She couldn’t bring herself to say the word "lingerie," and her pretty face flushed with embarrassment.

"Uh, if you see something you like, I could buy it for you," Lin Tian was taken aback, knowing the little girl misunderstood, but still he said this.

"Hmph, I don’t need you to buy anything, you big pervert," Xiao Manxuan gave Lin Tian a sideways glance, then turned and dashed into the Workshop.

Lin Tian found it amusing. If you don’t want it, why run in? It proves the old saying true: when a woman says no, she really means yes.

"Welcome!"

As soon as they entered, a beautiful staff member greeted them, her sweet voice refreshing as spring breeze, making Lin Tian admire how Zi Yan had trained her staff so well, unlike the formulaic approaches in other malls.

The appearance of Lin Tian as a male didn’t cause much surprise, as men accompanying their girlfriends to shop for lingerie must be a common sight.

"Is Boss Zi Yan here?" Lin Tian didn’t look at the lingerie but asked directly.
