Lin Yixun instinctively looked down and saw the man had already carried her up more than a dozen steps. Her mild fear of heights made her feel dizzy as she looked downward. But she didn’t want to show any weakness in front of this man, so she provocatively said, "Fine, you might as well throw me down. I’d rather fall to my death than be touched by you!" Hearing this, the man’s eyes suddenly turned cold. He stared down at her for a few seconds, then curled his thin lips into a mocking smile, "Is there any part of you that I haven’t touched?" With that one sentence, the man brought out all the suppressed humiliation in Lin Yixun’s heart. Furious and ashamed, she raised her hand and gave him a hard slap. The sound of the slap was loud and sharp, causing Sister Yi to be stunned on the spot. She thought, it’s over this time. How dare Miss Lin pull the tiger’s whiskers now! The burning pain on her hand reminded Lin Yixun how hard she had slapped him. She fearlessly met the man’s cold eyes and saw a storm brewing in his dark eyes. The man’s gaze was so sharp, his expression as cold as ice, that she had no doubt he would break her neck in the next second. Lin Yixun thought to herself, that might be better. Even being strangled to death by Leng Yixiu would be better than living such a humiliating life. However, what she was waiting for never came. Even though she heard the sound of the man’s knuckles cracking, he did not lay a hand on her. The two of them didn’t know how long they stared at each other before the man finally looked away, silently carrying her to the second floor. The master bedroom was no longer livable, so Leng Yixiu carried her into a nearby guest room, gave Sister Yi some instructions, and then went to his study. Sister Yi followed the man’s instructions, settled Lin Yixun in, and when she was leaving the guest room and passing by the study, she ran into Leng Yixiu at the door. The man had a cigarette between his fingers, and the smoke slowly rose from his hand, casting a layer of desire over his handsome face. He looked towards the guest room and asked Sister Yi, "How is she?" "Miss Lin’s foot injury has been bandaged and should be fine, but it’s best to give her a tetanus shot."

However, being called over in the middle of the night was still annoying for her. The last time Cen Lin treated Lin Yixun’s wound, Lin Yixun was unconscious. This time, seeing the awake Lin Yixun, Cen Lin couldn’t help but feel a bit curious about Leng Yixiu’s ex-wife. What kind of woman could make such a cold and ruthless person as Leng Yixiu so anxious? And what kind of woman could he not let go of? However, from examining Lin Yixun’s wound to giving her the tetanus shot, Cen Lin found that Lin Yixun’s face showed no signs of emotion whatsoever. Her expression seemed almost numb. Obviously, she’s an unhappy woman. As for why she’s unhappy, Cen Lin could more or less guess. Although she had been abroad five years ago and hadn’t been involved, she still knew something about the tangled relationship between Lin Yixun and Leng Yixiu. If she were in Lin Yixun’s position, she probably wouldn’t be happy either. Cen Lin’s gaze slowly shifted downwards, finally landing on the vicious scar on the right side of Lin Yixun’s face. A beautiful and charming face ruined by such a scar was undoubtedly a flaw. "Miss Lin, I know a plastic surgeon who might be able to help with the scar on your face." Lin Yixun was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, "No, thank you. It doesn’t matter to me whether this scar is there or not." Cen Lin was a bit surprised. What kind of woman wouldn’t care about her appearance? How desperate must she be to become indifferent to her looks? But from Lin Yixun’s demeanor, she seemed genuinely uninterested in restoring her looks. As Cen Lin was leaving Half Mountain Villa, she pulled Leng Yixiu aside and gently reminded, "I think you need to make her happy, if necessary." Cen Lin’s words were very subtle, but Leng Yixiu still caught on and couldn’t help frowning, "You mean..." "I mean, she seems to be showing signs of depression. If this situation doesn’t improve, it might become troublesome." Leng Yixiu had no doubt about Cen Lin’s words. Although Cen Lin was now a surgeon, she had also minored in psychology in college and had some accomplishments in the field. Seeing Leng Yixiu frown, Cen Lin added, "I am just saying she has depressive tendencies, not severe depression, so don’t worry too much. Just be cautious." The man nodded, "Alright, I’ll pay attention." After Cen Lin left, Leng Yixiu pushed open the guest room door and saw Lin Yixun quietly lying on the bed, seemingly asleep. From a few meters away, she looked thin and frail, and the large bed made her body seem even smaller. In Leng Yixiu’s memory, Lin Yixun wasn’t this thin five years ago. Her face even still had some baby fat back then. But now, her body was all bones, with just a thin layer of skin. The man’s heart couldn’t help but ache. Who had caused all this? The answer was obvious. Leng Yixiu quietly lay down next to Lin Yixun, his gaze falling on her thin back. From the tension in her back, it was clear she wasn’t asleep. Leng Yixiu recalled Cen Lin’s words before she left. Reflecting on every moment he had spent with Lin Yixun recently, he was surprised to find that since she moved into Half Mountain Villa, she hadn’t slept well. Or maybe... every night, she hadn’t truly slept at all. This realization shocked Leng Yixiu. If Cen Lin’s words were true, then... The man slowly closed his eyes, but his tightly furrowed brows didn’t relax. This night was destined to be sleepless. In truth, Cen Lin was right. Lin Yixun indeed had depressive tendencies. Over the years, she had relied on sleeping pills to fall asleep, and even then, her sleep was filled with nightmares. Her insomnia had worsened during the time Leng Yixiu had her confined. Leng Yixiu had witnessed all this. He thought of Cen Lin’s advice and tried hard to make Lin Yixun happy, but sadly realized that as long as he was around, Lin Yixun couldn’t be happy. He thought, maybe he could start with the scar on her right cheek. He remembered that the accident five years ago not only ruined her face but also severed her love for him entirely. So if that scar could be removed, perhaps the scars deep in her heart could be lessened, even if they couldn’t be completely erased.
