The rain grew heavier and denser, quickly turning into a torrential downpour. Lin Yixun did not return to the house to take shelter, and soon her entire body was drenched. Sister Yi saw this and hurried out with an umbrella, holding it over Lin Yixun and gently advised, "Miss Lin, the rain is so heavy, let’s go inside first." Lin Yixun suddenly stopped in her tracks, lifted her eyes to look at her, and smiled, "Sister Yi, you don’t need to worry about me." Sister Yi looked at Lin Yixun’s pale face with pity. "Miss Lin, you have just recovered. What if you catch a cold from the rain? Please, come back with me." "I won’t go back until I find it." Sister Yi thought the ring Lin Yixun lost was given to her by Leng Yixiu, so she said, "If the ring is lost, you can just ask Mr. Leng to buy you another one. He will surely agree." At the mention of Leng Yixiu, Lin Yixun’s face turned cold. "Sister Yi, you don’t understand the matters between him and me. Go back, I’ll continue searching here. I’ll go back in a while." Sister Yi couldn’t possibly feel at ease leaving her alone. Since Lin Yixun wouldn’t listen to persuasion, she could only follow silently behind, holding the umbrella for her. Although the rain was heavy and the umbrella couldn’t completely keep Lin Yixun from getting wet, it still had some effect. The rain lasted the entire afternoon, and Lin Yixun searched the backyard for the entire afternoon, while Leng Yixiu stood by the floor-to-ceiling window watching the whole time. As the sky gradually darkened, the man’s expression grew colder bit by bit. Suddenly, a burning pain came from his fingers. He lowered his gaze to see the cigarette had burned down to the end. He flicked it into a nearby ashtray, the burnt area on his fingers still throbbing with pain, but his gaze remained fixed on Lin Yixun’s frail figure in the rain. When the last trace of light disappeared from the sky, the man finally lost his patience and dashed downstairs. In the rain, Lin Yixun was still stubbornly searching the lawn. The man approached in a few quick strides, coming to her side. Sister Yi saw this, handed him the umbrella, and turned back to the villa to get another one. Raising the umbrella high in one hand, he grabbed Lin Yixun’s arm with the other, pulling her up forcefully, "Stop looking." "Let go!" Lin Yixun fiercely shook off his large hand, bowing her head to continue searching. Instantly enraged, the man threw the umbrella aside, grabbing Lin Yixun’s shoulders, and roared, "Lin Yixun, that’s enough!" Updates are released by NoveIFire.net "Don’t touch me!" Lin Yixun raised her hand to try to push his hand away, but was overpowered and pulled into his embrace. "Let go of me! Let go! I don’t need you to care!" "You are my woman. If I don’t care about you, who will?" "I am not your woman, never!" Too impatient to argue further, Leng Yixiu directly threw her over his shoulder and marched towards the villa. Sister Yi, just about to head out with an umbrella, stopped in shock as she saw Leng Yixiu carrying Lin Yixun upstairs like a sack. She silently prayed, hoping that Miss Lin wouldn’t do anything that would anger Mr. Leng. Mr. Leng appeared truly intimidating. "Lin Yixun, can’t you forget him? Fine, then I’ll help you forget him!" The door shut with a resounding thud, and Lin Yixun felt all her hopes being closed off at that moment. "Just a diamond ring, yet you spent the whole afternoon looking for it in the rain. Lin Yixun, is that man really so important to you?" "Yes! He holds an irreplaceable position in my heart." "Heh... is that so?" Leng Yixiu clearly knew the answer but still unwillingly asked again. With a bitter smile, he finally spoke, his cold voice echoing in the bathroom, "Lin Yixun, since you are destined never to love me, then hate me instead."
