When Lin Xiaowan heard this, she said, “Yes, that’s me.”

Lin Xiaowan followed the lady boss into a small private room that Lu Yingxin had reserved.

The building was all made of wood. Even the furniture was made of wood.

The private room was upstairs, and a tree stood outside the window. The window was open, allowing the cold breeze to blow in. It was very refreshing and comfortable.

Lin Xiaowan said, filled with praise, “The location is very good. It’s not hot at all.”

The temperature outside was 30 degrees Celcius. It was hot outside, but it was rather cool in the room.

The lady boss quickly brought the menu over and said with a sigh, “It’s only cool now. It’ll get hotter later. When winter comes, it’ll be very cold. In winter, we serve chicken and fish hotpot. For now, we have stewed chicken and fish.”

Lin Xiaowan flipped through the menu. Apart from the signature stewed chicken and fish, there were also common and inexpensive stir-fried dishes. After a while, she said, “I’ll wait for my friend to arrive before I order. Sorry to trouble you.”

The lady boss nodded and brought over a glass and a jar of water before she went downstairs. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝘯𝘰𝘷ℯ𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝑚

After a while, Lu Yingxin, who arrived late, came with two cups of milk tea and ice cream in her hands. As soon as she entered the private room, she placed everything on the table before she prostrated herself on the ground in front of Lin Xiaowan.

Lin Xiaowan’s mouth was agape as she looked at Lu Yingxin in shock. She scrambled to her feet and tried to help Lu Yingxin up as she asked, “W-what are you doing?”

‘There’s no need to bow so respectfully!’

Lu Yingxin burst into tears. “I know I did something wrong. I’m sorry. It’s true that I don’t live in Xilin Imperial Garden. 1 didn’t care for the first cat well enough, and it fell sick and died. I was afraid that you’d dislike me because of that so I got another cat. I didn’t dare to tell you about it!”

For a moment, Lin Xiaowan did not know what to say. In the end, she said, “Get up first. T-this is not a life-threatening matter. Get up first. Don’t be like this.” Inwardly, Lu Xiaowan thought, “Is she going to die? What’s wrong with her?

Didn’t she deny it vehemently last night? Why did her attitude change so drastically?!’

Lu Yingxin’s knees seemed like they were glued to the ground. Lin Xiaowan tried to pull her up, but she failed.

Lu Yingxin cried and said earnestly, “Please forgive me. Although 1 lied, I didn’t do anything to harm you! It’s just that I really liked you as soon as I saw you. I only wanted to be friends with you!”

After much persuasion, Lu Yingxin finally got up. After taking a seat, she continued to cry softly before she told Lin Xiaowan some half-truths about why she had lied.

Lin Xiaowan took a sip of the milk tea as she listened. After that, she asked in disbelief, “So you did all that just to be friends with me? That’s all?”

Lu Yingxin said through her tears, “Yes. I don’t know if President Huo misunderstood me. Perhaps that’s why he did that…”

“Huh? Did what?” Lin Xiaowan asked, puzzled.

“It’s…” Lu Yingxin said, but she was interrupted by her phone ringing. Before answering the call, she said apologetically, “I’m really sorry. I have to take this call. It’s very important.”

Lin Xiaowan nodded in understanding. “Okay.”

Lu Yingxin left the room with her phone. As soon as she left the room, the miserable and pitiful expression on her face vanished completely. In fact, no one called her. She had set an alarm. She turned off the alarm and stood in the hallway for a moment.

Meanwhile, Lin Xiaowan looked at the steamed chicken and two stir-fried dishes on the table that had been served while Lu Yingxin was giving her passionate speech earlier. They were completely untouched, but Lin Xiaowan had already drunk a lot.

Perhaps the temperature was just right, after sitting for a while, Lin Xiaowan began to feel sleepy. Her vision grew more and more blurry. She felt that something was wrong and tried to stand up. She was horrified when she discovered that she had no strength at all. She could not even move, let alone stand up. She tried to call for help but found that she was unable to do so.

A layer of cold sweat appeared on her forehead as she tried to struggle and call for help. However, in just a moment, she could no longer hold on and fell unconscious.

Lu Yingxin waited for about ten minutes in the hallway. When she entered the room and saw Lin Xiaowan lying on the table, a strange smile appeared on her face.

‘As long as I can get rid of Lin Xiaowan, I’ll be able to be with Huo Zheng. At that time, 1 won’t have to serve that disgusting old man with a strange fetish anymore!’

Lu Yingxin was very happy when she imagined how she would be able to torture Old Master Li when she became Mrs. Huo. She would return to him all the harm that he had caused her.

Lu Yingxin had bought some sedatives meant for animals beforehand. Since it could be bought over the counter, she obtained it easily without having to provide any information. However, she did not have any other plans beyond knocking Lin Xiaowan out.

‘How do I get rid of her?’

Lu Yingxin sat next to Lin Xiaowan and looked at the latter’s face, which looked tranquil at this moment. Lin Xiaowan’s skin was fair, and when the sunlight shone in, even the fine hair on her face could be seen.

Lu Yingxin felt like she was going to go crazy from jealousy.

At this moment, Lin Xiaowan’s phone, which she had casually placed on the table, rang.

Lu Yingxin took a look and saw that the call was from an unknown number. She casually rejected the call before she pressed the button on the table.

Soon after, the lady boss entered the room and asked if there was anything she could help with.

Lu Yingxin looked very natural as she said with a smile, “I’d like to pay for the bill.”

“The total is 163 yuan. I’ll give you a discount. You only need to pay 160 yuan,” the lady boss said. When she saw the dishes on the table, she asked, “Do you want to take the food away? The dishes look untouched. Are they not delicious?”

Lu Yingxin feigned a helpless expression on her face as she helped Lin Xiaowan up and said, “It’s all because of my friend. She hasn’t been sleeping well recently. She just sat down for a while before she fell asleep. The food is delicious. However, it won’t be convenient to bring them with me since 1 have to carry her out. We’ll come again next time.”

“Alright,” the lady boss said, sending them out.

When the lady boss reached out to hold Lin Xiaowan, intending to help carry her, Lu Yingxin was frightened. She was worried that the lady boss would notice that something was wrong so she hurriedly said, “My friend doesn’t like people touching her. It’s fine. Now that she’s asleep, I don’t want her to wake her up. After all, she hasn’t been sleeping well.”

“Oh, 1 see…”

With that, the lady boss no longer tried to help. She followed Lu Yingxin downstairs and stopped near the reception desk. As Lu Yingxin left, she said, “Take care..”
