Chapter 154: Meeting In A Hotel

At this moment, Ling Xuewei only had one thought in her mind: 'Can acupuncture treatment be done with my clothes on?'

If not, then..

Ling Xuewei felt that her entire face was on the verge of burning up.

She smiled awkwardly and said, “Forget about the acupuncture. I'll be fine after a nap, really.”

Lin Bai wanted to explain to her the possible side effects of a broken tailbone if it wasn't properly treated.

However, when he saw Ling Xuewei's flushed face, he immediately understood.

She wasn't resisting the treatment itself, but the fact that she had to receive acupuncture treatment from another man with whom she was alone in the room, which was quite an awkward thing.

Thus, the medical science explanation became a straightforward man's speech.

“Two injections on the back of the waist will be done very quickly. Don't think too much. I'm just afraid that you won't recover well and end up affecting the sales progress of Yunding Villa.”

These words sounded cold and unfeeling, but it actually made Ling Xuewei secretly sigh in relief.

It turned out that she had misunderstood and the acupuncture treatment was not going to be done on her buttocks.

Although she still felt a little embarrassed, she could still reluctantly accept it if it was only for the back of the waist.

Moreover, Lin Bai only cared about business interests. Although it seemed a little unreasonable, it made the atmosphere less awkward.

Therefore, Ling Xuewei could only nod obediently.

“Thank you, Mr. Lin.”

Lin Bai helped her to check in. After getting the room card, he helped her to take the elevator upstairs.

The Persian carpet on the hotel corridor was thick and soft. If a normal person walked on it, they would find it comfortable to step on.

But for Ling Xuewei, who had an injured tailbone, it became a form of torture.

Every step she took on the floor would affect her injured tailbone.

Even though she tried her best to endure it, the uncontrollable gasping still betrayed her.

Lin Bai could see her pain. He silently stretched out his arm to lend her some strength, so that she could alleviate some of the pain.

“Bear with it a little longer. We'll be there after a turn in front,” Lin Bai said softly.

Ling Xuewei gritted her teeth and nodded.

At this moment, two young girls walked out from the other side of the corner.

When one of them glanced at Lin Bai, she was completely stunned.

Lin Bai was also shocked.

He had never expected to meet Yu Jinmo here.

He ran into his girlfriend in the corridor of a hotel while supporting a woman, whom his girlfriend didn't know, into the room.

It was a really awkward social situation.

At this moment, the air seemed to freeze.

Lin Bai's mind was blank and he didn't know how to explain it.

It seemed that no matter how he tried, he couldn't explain it clearly.

Right now, there was only one thought in his mind:

'What happened to maximum luck value?'

'Didn't the system say that it would reward me with 30 days of maximum luck value? Is this it?'

Lin Bai roared in his heart, “System, come out! I promise I won't beat you to death!”

The system silently pretended to be dead.

The girl next to Yu Jinmo asked in puzzlement, “Jinmo, why aren't you leaving yet?”

Then, she noticed that Yu Jinmo's gaze had been fixed on Lin Bai, so she changed her tone and asked, “Do you two know each other?”

Yu Jinmo didn't answer and merely said, “Qingqing, you can go back by yourself. I'm afraid I won't be able to leave with you.”

The girl named Qingqing sensed the tension in the air and tactfully went downstairs alone.

Ling Xuewei also silently retracted her hand that was on Lin Bai's arm.

She had never seen Yu Jinmo before, but her instincts as a woman, allowed her to guess the identity of the girl in front of her.

Thus, Ling Xuewei took the initiative to explain, “Hello, I'm Mr. Lin's business partner, Ling Xuewei. You're Mr. Lin's girlfriend, right?”

“I'm really sorry, I fell and hurt myself. It's inconvenient for me to walk, so Mr. Lin sent me up. Please don't misunderstand.”

Yu Jinmo sized her up with a sullen expression. She then stared at Lin Bai and asked, “Really?”

Lin Bai nodded and answered, “Really.”

“Then you can send her off first.”

When Yu Jinmo said this, her tone was devoid of any emotion, so much so that even Lin Bai couldn't tell if she was still angry.

Ling Xuewei hurriedly said, “Nah, it's okay. It's just a few steps. I can walk there myself. You guys can chat. I won't disturb you.”

After saying that, she gritted her teeth and endured the intense pain from her tailbone. She struggled to walk to her room.

For some subtle reason, she did not want to make a fool of herself in front of Yu Jinmo.

Unfortunately, the carpet was too soft and her tailbone hurt too much. Even though she tried her best to endure it, she still had to limp.

Yu Jinmo could tell that this pain was not an act.

All her suspicion and jealousy disappeared in an instant.

She quickly caught up to Ling Xuewei and said with a smile, “I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Yu Jinmo.”

Ling Xuewei smiled and thanked her. Then, she exchanged pleasantries with her too.

“I've long heard that Mr. Lin has a good relationship with his girlfriend. You're so beautiful, no wonder Mr. Lin likes you so much. Is that why he had been clamoring all the time?”

Hearing this, Yu Jinmo's mood was instantly lifted.

“Really? What did he say about me?”

Ling Xuewei smiled and replied, “He just kept clamoring about wanting to go back to school to accompany his girlfriend. As a result, we didn't dare to have a meeting for too long.”

As she spoke, they arrived at Ling Xuewei's room. She thanked Yu Jinmo again, swiped her card, and entered the door. She smiled and said goodbye to Yu Jinmo.

From the beginning to the end, she tried her best to be magnanimous.

However, the moment the door closed, she could no longer keep the smile that she forced. Her heart was filled with misery and bitterness.

Those indescribable thoughts and emotions overwhelmed her.

Yu Jinmo's face could not be erased from her mind.

She was so young. Her body was exuding vitality and youth. She was also so pure and candid, without the slightest trace of tackiness.

Those qualities were all things that Ling Xuewei did not have.

Ling Xuewei lowered her eyes in loneliness, staring at the shadow under her feet in a trance.

She thought, 'That girl must have been well-protected since she was young, and had never been wronged or hurt. That's why she's so innocent and pure.'

'Her eyes, in particular, are like those of a deer, ignorant and agile, as if she was defenseless against anyone.'

'Only a girl who has never been bullied before would have eyes like that, right? Also, when she smiles, she looks exceptionally sweet and alluring.'

Her eyes were curved and her dimples were shallow. Even she was attracted by her look, let alone Lin Bai.

'No wonder when we were having dinner at home, Mr. Lin was still thinking about going back to school to accompany her.'

'She's such a pretty girl. If it were me, I would also want to stay by her side at all times.'

Ling Xuewei could not help but think of the years when she was forced to deal with all kinds of old men. She thought of those malicious scrutiny and dirty jokes…

Those things that had long been sealed in her mind and she had not thought about for a long time were now all surging, setting off a silent but intense wave in her mind.

All the emotions in her heart were converged into a silent and bitter smile.

'At the end of the day, I'm still not good enough.'
