After finishing their meal, the two returned to the hotel. On the way, Lu Qingxu tried to hold her hand, but Mai Le Di reacted strongly and dodged away.
"What's wrong? You seem unhappy. Are you feeling unwell?"
"I'm unwell everywhere. Don't you know I'm sick?"
"..."
Lu Qingxu quietly reflected on himself, wondering if he had said or done something wrong during the meal that had upset her.
He thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he shamelessly pleaded for reconciliation.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong. Don't be angry anymore. Getting angry is bad for your health. Come, let me hug you."
"No. Go away, stay away from me."
"I shouldn't have said you were uncomfortable so easily. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I won't say it again. Just one hug."
He was tall and handsome, rich and generous, and had no temper with her, acting as accommodating as possible.
Mai Le Di couldn't even get angry, which made her feel even worse and more defeated.
She suddenly felt that she couldn't go on like this.
There were too many people around him who were warm and affectionate. If she continued like this, she would be influenced and try to become like them, craving to possess the same things they had.
Then she would become increasingly miserable.
Life was short, and she had only wanted some fun. Why was she making herself like this?
She decided she had to break up with Lu Qingxu and return to her previous state, to be a carefree Mai Le Di.
As long as she was happy every day, even if she died, this life would be worthwhile.
Once she had made up her mind, she stopped making a fuss.
She allowed Lu Qingxu to hold her, and they returned to the hotel obediently.
Upon entering the room, after staying in the hospital for a few days, the two, who hadn't had a chance to be intimate, had a tacit understanding.
As soon as Lu Qingxu's lips met hers, she responded.
As if they hadn't seen each other for lifetimes, Mai Le Di was incredibly passionate today, chasing him and asking for more.
Lu Qingxu continued to give.
It wasn't until almost five in the afternoon that the two finally stopped.
Lu Qingxu had been exhausted lately. He fell into a deep sleep less than two minutes after lying down. Mai Le Di, with her mind preoccupied, had no desire to sleep. She lay beside him, looking at his face again and again. Finally, she couldn't resist taking out her phone and snapping a photo as a memento.
Then she got up, packed her belongings, blocked all his contact information, and left the room.
She arrived at the hotel entrance just as a black car pulled up. Mai Le Di, her mind set on leaving, got in without a word.
"Where is the young lady going?"
Where to?
She hadn't booked her flight back to the United States yet, and she definitely couldn't leave today. She also didn't know how to book flights using domestic apps, so she had to find a place to stay first.
"The hotel closest to the airport."
The driver started the car and glanced at her in the rearview mirror. She was so beautiful, and her accent was strange. It was clear she was from abroad and was wealthy.
"Is the young lady visiting Hangzhou for tourism or business?"
Mai Le Di said nothing.
"If you're here for tourism, I can recommend some places..."
"No, thank you."
The driver, who had no intention of taking a detour, became displeased when he saw her acting so aloof and looking down on him. He started driving erratically.
About eight meters behind them, a black car followed for a few blocks, then switched to a white car. The white car followed for a while, then switched to a red car.
The driver drove further and further into a secluded and chaotic area, finally entering a stretch of road without surveillance. The red car seized the opportunity and cut them off.
The driver, startled by being cut off, reacted by lowering his window to curse, but was struck on the head with a club.
