NovelEnglishAfter Four Years, They Were Back at the Same Place
“Can… Can you send me to the hospital?” Tong Lu gazed at the man who was standing in front of the bathtub.
The man’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed. “The hospital won’t be able to help you, but cold water can ease the symptoms.”
“But I feel really bad.”
Leng Yejin looked at her in a condescending manner. “I’ve told you to endure it, haven’t I?”

Leng Yejin seemed to know what she was going to say. He furrowed his eyebrows and strode out of the bathroom.
The moment he left, Tong Lu lost all control.
Outside the bathroom, Leng Yejin stood before the floor to ceiling window with his hands clasped behind his back. “Where’s the antidote?”
“I’ve ordered some men to look for it.”
“Hurry up.”
“Actually…,” Secretary Yu said hesitantly. He gave it some thought and decided to bite the bullet. “You can be the antidote. After all, you’re not really Miss Tong’s brother-in-law. Your true identity is her husband.”
“Don’t you dare tell her this.”
Leng Yejin looked coldly at Secretary Yu, and he immediately shut up.
Secretary Yu understood that Young Master Jin was forced to marry this woman, and deep down inside his heart, he did not want to acknowledge this woman as his wife. But because Miss Tong had been taking good care of Shanshan, Young Master Jin had no choice but to be grateful toward her.
Young Master Jin had just gained power, and his position was still unstable. Unfortunately, Master Leng chose to bring Professor Shuo’s widower and daughter home at this point of time. If Miss Tong’s identity were to be revealed, she would be pushed to the forefront of public debate. Not revealing her identity was a way for Young Master Jin to protect her. But how far could Miss Tong and Young Master Jin go?
Secretary Yu was not optimistic that Miss Tong and Young Master Jin could share a future. With Miss Tong’s status, she was no match for Young Master Jin at all. Everyone knew this very well.

“Why is the antidote not here yet?”
Secretary Yu said in a soft voice, “It’ll at least take an hour, won’t it?”
Leng Yejin waited for another half an hour, and he was running out of patience. He waved in dismissal and strode into the bathroom.
In the bathroom, Tong Lu was digging her nails into the flesh of her thighs, and there were wisps of blood in the water. This was not the first time she was doing this. Her fair thighs were full of marks, and they looked grotesque.
Leng Yejin’s face twitched, and his expression became tremendously dark. He strode over without hesitation and grabbed her hands to stop her from hurting herself.
Tong Lu looked like a frightened bird. “Just… just ignore me. I can control the urge.”
“So, you’re controlling the urge by hurting yourself?” Leng Yejin’s voice was as cold as ice.
Tong Lu shut her eyes tightly, and her heart was flooded with despair.
A faint hint of compassion flashed past Leng Yejin’s ice cold heart. He narrowed his eyes. Should he continue to let her suffer like this?
