Han Shilin gently opened the door, his handsome face was full of sadness, and his deep and brown eyes seemed to have something to say, but they were flashing with complicated eyes due to some kind of worry.
Li Muxin turned her head, and as her slender and upright body moved slightly, her curly hair slowly fell down layer by layer, like an elegant warm curtain, parting her delicate face. There was a look of surprise and slight panic in her face.
A touch of feminine charm.
At first, Li Muxin was startled when she heard the sound of Han Shilin coming in.
Thinking of the meal just now, the man who looked nothing like Han Shilin was so gentle...so considerate...this...this was really terrifying!
Li Muxin shrank down, blinked her Qian Shui Qiu eyes, and stared at Han Shilin, who was walking slowly step by step.
However, she discovered that although Han Shilin was as gentle as before, there was an indescribable complexity in his deep eyes.
Finally, Li Muxin couldn't help but say, "You... have something to say?"
Han Shilin sat down next to her, facing him sideways, frowning deeply, and nodded, "Yes."
He sighed long and deeply, and the cold breath seemed to freeze the whole room instantly. There was an indescribable worry and anxiety that melted away... and spread with the growing anxiety between his brows.
There was also a heavy depression in the air.
"If you have something to say, just tell me." Li Muxin turned to look at him. He had never seen Han Shilin like this before. His thin lips were trembling slightly, as if he had something to say, but he couldn't say it.
In Li Muxin's impression, Han Shilin has always been a domineering and arrogant man. He is decisive in doing things and leaves no room for sloppiness.
Han Shilin turned sideways and looked at her seriously with those faint brown eyes. Her temperament, as light as an orchid, made Han Shilin feel that she should have lived a plain and beautiful life, but she was innocently involved by him.
into his complicated life.
"Lin Hongde will return to China the day after tomorrow. He hopes that you will attend his homecoming dinner with me. You..." His voice was low and suppressed. His tone was no longer commanding.
"I will accompany you." Li Muxin smiled slightly and agreed.
"But, Xin, I once told myself that from the moment I return the contract to you, you will no longer be Lin Youya's substitute. I will slowly restore your original identity and give you your freedom.
Yes, but I..." Han Shilin pressed his hands on Li Muxin's shoulders, guilt surging in his brown eyes. He hated himself for agreeing but couldn't do it!
"Han Shilin, I didn't destroy the contract, so...I am still Lin Youya now. If you let me suddenly become Li Muxin, what should you explain to Lin Hongde after he returns to China? If he knows that you used a substitute to deceive him.
, what will he do? Maybe you know this better than me." At this moment, Li Muxin was calmer than Han Shilin.
She understands that regaining her freedom cannot be achieved by simply tearing up the contract. Even if Han Shilin is willing to let her go, what about Lin Hongde? If his daughter suddenly disappears again, he will definitely blame his son-in-law. Moreover, with
Lin Hongde's power may soon reveal that she is a fake. It doesn't matter if she is brutally retaliated by then. What if her mother and Xiaoxuan are implicated?
Li Muxin couldn't help but feel a biting coldness behind her, and her cold hands curled up into a ball.
Han Shilin's big hand covered hers, and he slowly picked up her hands and held them in his warm palms, "Xin, thank you for being so reasonable. I feel useless. I said I would give you back your true identity.
, but I have no choice but to let you continue to play Lin Youya. I am really... very touched..."
His deep brown eyes were blurry and intoxicating, shining as brightly as the stars in the sky. The air around him seemed to be catalyzed by the delicate tenderness in his eyes, creating an ambiguity that made people's hearts beat faster.
Li Muxin felt like her heartstrings were being plucked by something, and suddenly waves of inexplicable emotions began to spread from the bottom of her heart...
He said he was very touched. Why was this man talking more and more rudely?
She turned her head away, and her tone was deliberately suppressed and calm, "Now, we are sitting on the same boat. Since we have lied, we must lie to the end. Although I was dragged into the boat by you inexplicably, I once resented you, but Lin Hongde cannot
Offended, I did this not for you, but for myself, and even more for my family."
Han Shilin's tall body trembled and suddenly froze. He was holding Li Muxin's cold hand in his hand. Her cold words just now were like ice blades, cutting a deep gash in his palm, and the blood and flesh were blurred... scarlet and hot.
The blood gurgled out, but her indifference penetrated into his body violently, and the coldness... flowed into his limbs and bones...
Li Muxin bit her lip and continued, "Han Shilin, don't worry, I won't leave until you find the real Lin Youya. She is your wife, a woman who can help you in your career.
After she comes back, I hope you will let me go and let her continue to love you."
Continue to love...you?
Han Shilin was shocked!
When she said "continue to love you", did she mean that she had always loved him from before to now?
His heart was filled with joy and pain!
He was afraid that he had misunderstood it and that the joy would be in vain in the end!
But I hope this is true!
When a person deeply loves another person, any small movement or a small hint can stir up the flood of love in his heart. Han Shilin felt like he was in the heat of water at this moment. Her attitude
, it’s hard to figure out, if she loves him, why would she give herself back to Lin Youya?
Is it because his confession was not clear enough that Li Muxin still thinks that he loves her and just regards her as Lin Youya's substitute?
Thousands of doubts and worries were like thin and long threads, strangling him tightly and making it difficult for him to move.
He was just about to speak...
"Master! Secretary Pan called just now and asked you to call him back." Sister Cai knocked on the door outside.
Han Shilin suddenly discovered that he had forgotten his cell phone in the study room. No wonder Pan called downstairs and asked Sister Cai to tell him.
"I'll leave for a while." Han Shilin left a few brief words and left the room.
Li Muxin finally turned his head, staring at Han Shilin's leaving back with tearful eyes.
Tears, shed disobediently...

In the study room.
"Pan, what's so urgent?"
"Mr. Han, Li Muxin's mother is dying!"
Han Shilin was shocked and said angrily, "Didn't she feel fine the last time I went to visit her? Didn't she say that the operation was successful! Damn the hospital, those experts who were invited are all liars! I spent so much money in vain, each and every one of them
They are all useless trash!!!"
"Mr. Han, don't get excited." Pan tried to calm down Han Shilin's excitement. "Li Muxin's mother's illness is not optimistic. Although her condition was stable for a period of time after the kidney transplant surgery, her other organs have failed. The doctor said
It’s rare that her illness can last until today, Mr. Han, don’t blame yourself too much.”
Han Shilin closed his eyes in pain and bit his lip until it bled. The strong smell of blood made him suddenly wake up. He calmed down his anger, but his voice sounded low and pale, "Pan, how long can she live?"
"The doctor said, no more than three months."
Han Shilin threw his cell phone aside and sat slumped at his desk. He kept blaming himself, his voice hoarse and painful, "Xin, I'm so useless! I can't even protect your family... I'm so useless
