“Why? Why are you so surprised to see me?” Tang Pengze’s thin lips parted slightly. His tall body leaned towards the door. Lin Chaoyu stood in front of the man in a daze and had yet to react. “You… didn’t look for Lu Xi?”

“Why would I look for her?” Tang Pengze frowned.He had heard the woman’s abnormal nasal voice on the phone just now and immediately drove to the hospital. Who knew that this woman was actually thinking about him being with another woman! However, when he saw Lin Chaoyu’s slightly swollen eyes, his heart couldn’t help but ache. “Why are you crying again?” Tang Pengze’s tone softened as he spoke gently.

Lin Chaoyu felt a surge of warmth in her heart when she heard the man’s concern. She turned to look at her unconscious mother, closed the door gently, and pulled Tang Pengze to the ward next door. The patient next door should have just been discharged from the hospital. There was no one in the room, and the bed was stacked with clean blankets.

Lin Chaoyu and Tang Pengze entered the ward. The man’s tall and slender figure stood in front of Lin Chaoyu. A man and a woman were alone in the same room, and Tang Pengze looked at the petite woman in front of him, then his throat tightened. When he saw this woman, his body couldn’t control itself. Thinking of the sweet smell on her body made him addicted, like he was on drugs.

At that moment, Lin Chaoyu’s mind was in a mess. She was still unsure about Tang Pengze’s feelings for her. Furthermore, he was preparing to get engaged to Lu Xi. How important was she in his heart? Perhaps to him, she was just a surrogate. He was only interested in her body at this stage…

Lin Chaoyu’s heart was filled with bitterness. When she thought about how Mr. Lin threatened her when he left today, she couldn’t help but feel even more depressed—that was five million dollars! She couldn’t even gather that much money… Should she tell Tang Pengze all of this?

Lin Chaoyu opened her mouth and hesitated for a moment. She looked at Tang Pengze uneasily, while Tang Pengze looked at the woman in front of him. She kept rubbing her hands in front of him, and her big eyes were filled with hesitation, as if she didn’t know if she should say it. Tang Pengze raised his eyebrows slightly and quietly waited for Lin Chaoyu to speak.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning streaked across the night sky. The thunder startled Lin Chaoyu. “Ah!” With a cry, Lin Chaoyu immediately jumped into Tang Pengze’s arms while trembling slightly.

After Tang Pengze regained his senses, he quickly comforted the frightened woman in his arms. He patted her back gently and carefully. After Lin Chaoyu calmed down, she raised her pretty face and asked Tang Pengze, “Can you help me with something?”

Tang Pengze looked at the woman in his arms and asked softly, “What is it?”

Lin Chaoyu hesitated for a moment before saying, “Help me transfer my mother.”

Tang Pengze looked at Lin Chaoyu’s pleading gaze and suddenly felt playful. “Sure, but…” The man’s low and deep voice paused for a moment. Lin Chaoyu’s gaze followed Tang Pengze and was a little nervous.” But what? “Lin Chaoyu couldn’t help but ask.

Tang Pengze’s magnetic voice sounded especially sexy and charming. “I want to try it at the hospital.”

After Lin Chaoyu heard what he said, her heart suddenly felt as if it had fallen into an ice cave. Her mother was still unconscious next door. Moreover, Mr. Lin’s insulting words were still echoing in his mind. The slap that Mr. Lin had given her on the face still made her feel a burning pain.

Lin Chaoyu looked up at the man in front of her with tears welling up in her eyes.. “What do you take me for? Tang Pengze!—I’m not here to sell myself!”
