My Toxic Ex-Wife: BOSS, Stay Away！-Chapter 547 - 555: Besieged with Troubles

Shi Yi was overwhelmed with anxiety, and Leng Yixiu was not having an easy time either. Ever since the last hospitalization, Xiao Yi Xun’s condition had been unstable, with several high fevers in the middle of the night, each one making Leng Yixiu’s heart race.

Leng Yixiu was well aware that dragging on like this was not a solution; they had to find a bone marrow match for Xiao Yi Xun as soon as possible, and umbilical cord blood was undoubtedly their last resort.

However, even though Gu Yilin looked exactly like Lin Yixun, and their DNA matched, Leng Yixiu always felt that something was missing between him and Gu Yilin, but what exactly was unclear. Thus, even though the wedding was approaching, Leng Yixiu had never taken the final step with Gu Yilin.

That day, Leng Yixiu, as usual, dropped Gu Yilin off downstairs. Gu Yilin unbuckled her seatbelt, turned to glance at Leng Yixiu’s profile, moved her lips, and said, "It’s already past eleven. Why don’t you stay tonight?"

At first, Gu Yilin was somewhat afraid of Leng Yixiu. His kindness to her was unexpected and a bit unreal. But over time, she found that although this man was cold, he took care of her meticulously. She gradually got used to his attentiveness and even became attached to him.

Before she met Leng Yixiu, no man had ever treated her like this, not even Zheng Hao. Although he had rescued her from suffering, it was only to use her. Faced with Leng Yixiu’s various kindnesses, Gu Yilin had to admit that she had fallen for this man.

So tonight, she finally mustered the courage to say something even she hadn’t anticipated. But after the words came out, she didn’t regret it. She was now his fiancée, and soon she would marry him. Asking him to stay was not inappropriate.

Leng Yixiu naturally understood Gu Yilin’s intention. He cast her a deep glance, recalling Cen Lin’s words to him. After pondering for a while, he eventually nodded.

Seeing Leng Yixiu nod, Gu Yilin beamed with a radiant smile. For a moment earlier, she had seen a trace of hesitation in his eyes. For some reason, that hesitation made her feel a bit uneasy.

But fortunately, Leng Yixiu did not refuse her.

...

After leaving Gu Yilin’s apartment, Leng Yixiu sat alone in the car for a long time. In fact, even he himself couldn’t understand why he hadn’t taken the final step.

He leaned tiredly against the leather seat, feeling utterly exhausted. He turned sideways, intending to pull a cigarette from the pack, only to angrily find that the last cigarette had been smoked that morning.

Recently, his craving for cigarettes had noticeably increased.

After sitting in the car for a while, Leng Yixiu finally started the engine and drove out of the underground garage. However, he did not go home but headed to a nearby bar.

Over the years, he had developed a habit of going to a bar for a few drinks whenever he was in a bad mood. He had to admit, alcohol was a good thing; as long as he got drunk, the troubles that plagued him would vanish, even if only for a while.

Leng Yixiu was exceptionally handsome, with an innate, commanding presence. The moment he entered the bar, he attracted countless gazes. Before he even warmed the high stool with his seat, a young woman with a hot figure approached him.

"Hey handsome, drinking alone is boring. How about I join you?"

Leng Yixiu raised his eyes and coldly glanced at her, mercilessly uttering one word, "Scram!"

"Hmph, you look decent, but your temper stinks!" the woman grumbled in dissatisfaction. Seeing Leng Yixiu’s imposing demeanor, she didn’t dare to openly scold him and instead swayed her slender waist as she left, frustrated.

Afterwards, several other women also tried to chat with Leng Yixiu, but he coldly rebuffed them all without mercy. He sat alone on the high stool, drinking sullenly. As he drank, he gradually noticed something odd about his body.

Having been in the business world for many years, he had encountered some dirty tricks. However, no one had ever dared to use them on him until this exception.
