You looked at her with great expectation, but this woman just "didn't take the hint", "I won't go" - she didn't even look at you and bluntly rejected you with her eyes closed.

  Yangpu didn't panic either, and slowly took out his phone again, deliberately pressing the keys loudly.

  Tong Jing heard the keyboard sound, "swoosh" opened his eyes, and asked impatiently, "What are you going to do?"

  "I'll get Bai Yang to come pick you up!" Yang Pu said it quite calmly, calmly to the point of being politely perfunctory.

  "You promised me you wouldn't tell him!" Tong Jing was furious, feeling that Yang Pu was now threatening her.

  "You need someone to take care of you, some things are not something you can bear alone. Come back with me and I'll help you, trust me." Yang Pu's words were full of kindness, he knew the girl had been holding on tight, all he could do was stand by her side, taking good care of her, helping her share her worries and difficulties without seeking any return, just wanting to see her well, truly.

  Tong Jing's anger dissipated, she gazed at Yang Pu, not speaking, her profile was a beautiful line, the blue in her icy blue eyes had become very faint, like the distant sky that was about to set, clear and pale blue. She wondered why this boy always spoke as if he was looking at flowers in the fog, a haze of confusion. If she didn't believe him, who could she trust?

  "If you don't speak, I'll take it as your consent!" Yang Pu's slightly raised eyebrows were filled with satisfaction and mischief, smiling like a child who had just done something naughty but hadn't been caught.

  "Yangpu, I'm going to ruin you..." Tong Jing shook his head, a sorrowful smile, like a withered white chrysanthemum, a shattered heart.

  "You haven't even tried, how do you know you can definitely save me? I'm not afraid, what are you really afraid of?" Yang Pu grasped Tong Jun's hand tightly, his eyes firm.

  "Give me some time, let me think..." Tong Jing sighed, and his heart really started to hesitate.

  "Okay, but I'll be back in Beijing in two days, you must give me an answer within two days!"

  Yang Pu will get the answer he wants in his heart. Tong Jing agreed to return to China with him two days later. Yang Pu was overjoyed, but Tong Jing still needs to rest now. After all, she didn't take good care of her body after the miscarriage, and it will leave many sequelae in the future.

  So, Yang Pu didn't rush to take Tong Jun back home. He planned to wait until Tong Jun's body was well taken care of here, and then fly to New York to take Tong Jun to Shanghai, all the while keeping it a secret from Bo Yang.

  After dragging on for another day, Yang Pu had been in New York for four days before deciding to return home first. Before leaving, he specifically instructed the nurse to keep an eye on Tong Jing and notify him in advance if she wanted to be discharged from the hospital.

  He returned to Beijing like this, and the mysterious four-day disappearance did not attract the attention of the Yang family. Yang Pu had always been boarding at school, so his parents thought he was in school all along, while he had already found someone to attend classes for him. Bai Yang being hospitalized would even less notice that Yang Pu went to the United States, so no one knew about the trip to the United States.

  Yangpu quietly began to arrange things in Shanghai, he had to find a nanny to take care of Tongjing, and also arrange for a private doctor. He handled all this without making a sound within two weeks, then flew to New York. Baiyang was discharged from the hospital two weeks later, but during his stay, he couldn't rest easy, with a large crowd of people visiting him every day. The most annoying one was Zhan Lei, who thought that Baiyang's severe injury was all because of her, so she felt responsible and went to the hospital every day to bring him various soups. As soon as Baiyang saw her coming, he would pretend to be asleep on purpose.

  Zhan Lei would quietly sit in front of his sickbed, staring at him for one or two hours. Later on, Bai Yang would fall asleep with his eyes closed, and Zhan Lei would even proactively help pull the quilt over him.

  Mrs. Bai had met her several times, and the impression of this girl was exceptionally good, the more she looked at her, the more she felt that she was very suitable for her own son, after investigating again, it turned out that this girl's family background was quite good, a diplomatic family, which was very satisfactory, in her heart, she had already regarded Zhan Lei as her future daughter-in-law.

  From time to time, she would nag in front of Bai Yang, saying that Zhan Lei was a good girl, beautiful, smart, well-educated, and from a good family. If the two were to be together, she would absolutely not object, and even praised her son for having a good eye for finding such a good girl like Zhan Lei.

  He usually coldly spat out a sentence, "I think Tong Jun is better than her!"

  Ba's mom was so angry that she couldn't eat for several days. She had never liked Tong Jun since he was a child, and now that the Tong family had gotten into trouble, she disliked even more her son having anything to do with Tong Jun. But her son was stubborn and wouldn't listen no matter what she said. It's really frustrating not knowing who he got this temper from.

  Kong Shengkai flew back to New York after attending classes at Tsinghua for two weeks. He didn't see Tong Jing for a month and felt unwell all over, feeling empty in his heart, and couldn't muster the energy to do anything. Without even reporting, he just went back to New York.

  After getting off the plane, no driver from home came to pick him up, so he took a taxi directly to Tong Jing's house. He rang the doorbell for half a day, but nobody opened the door. Okay, then make a phone call, but still nobody answered. He wondered if they might have gone to the hospital and rushed there desperately.

  He rushed to the hospital, but Tong Jun was just picked up by Yang Pu and discharged from the hospital. Gong Shengkai arrived at the hospital, while Tong Jun returned home. What bad luck!

  She stormed around the room, unable to find Tong Xuan, and irritably rubbed her face, plopping down into a chair with a huff.

  Yangpu helped Tong Jing tidy up his luggage, there weren't many things, and it was all tidied up in just a few moves. However, while tidying up the clothes, he didn't see the clothes he had bought for Tong Jing, and he felt slightly disappointed, unable to help but ask, "Is this all you have? What about the ones I bought for you?"

  How could Tong Jing not hear the disappointment in Yang Pu's tone, put down the items in his hand, pointed to the locked cabinet and said "In that cabinet --"

  "Why don't you take it away?" Yang Pu's expression was very sulky, like a little kid.

  "Oh, I forgot—" Tong Jun smiled faintly and took out those clothes, doing so only because he didn't want Yang Pu to look so distressed.

  Tong Jing squatted down and handed the clothes to Yang Pu, "I think Xu Ning will look better in it than me --" she said casually, as if it was an afterthought.

  Yang Pu's hands, which were sorting clothes, suddenly stopped. In an instant, his eyes widened and he exclaimed, "You don't like these clothes, you can throw them away, but why did you have to mention Xu Ning? I'm asking you, why did you have to mention her!" His tone was somewhat restrained, yet still betrayed a hint of agitation. What kind of talk is this? You're bringing up Xu Ning with me, what kind of talk is this?!

  "You don't like her now, do you?" Tong Jing asked. She regarded herself as an outsider, but didn't know that she was the real protagonist of the story.

  "You just want to push me into her arms, Tong Jing? I wanted to be good to you, that's my business. You love Bai Yang, then continue loving her, I never had the expectation for you to love me--" Yang Pu's despondent tone was like snowflakes falling in summer, instantly melting away, yet he couldn't help but indulge in the pain.
