I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 408 If you don't have any problems... I'll date you...

Under Yu Lingxue's meticulous care, Bai Cang recovered quickly; his body has a strong self-healing ability.

Within a few days, she was able to stand up and walk on her own. Before that, things like going to the toilet were a bit embarrassing.

Yu Lingxue is quite sensible; she avoids Bai Cang when he needs to use the restroom and lets the caregiver take care of him.

That day, Yu Lingxue and Bai Cang ate together in the hospital room. Their relationship was getting better and better. In fact... after they confessed their feelings to each other, they were just one step away from breaking through that final barrier and officially becoming a couple...

"Get well soon, and then come with me to properly thank Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran. If it weren't for them, we would both be finished."

"Yes, I know that, don't worry... By the way, how's Lingwen Group doing now?"

Bai Cang only knew that his father said he would make Yan Lingwen pay the price, but he didn't know exactly what would happen.

"Hmm..." Yu Lingxue thought for a moment, nodded, and said:

"Right now... Lingwen Group is facing a crisis. It's now completely hostile to Junheng and your family. I don't know the specifics..."

Right now, what Yu Lingxue can't ignore is the constant phone calls from her father...

She heard from Zhou Heng that Yu Yinghai had been under immense pressure at Junheng recently, and had almost stopped coming to work. It seemed that Lingwen Group was putting pressure on Yu Yinghai...

He doesn't have the power of the Bai family, and the Lingwen Group only picks on the weak, so Yu Yinghai has become the scapegoat.

The Lingwen Group vented all the anger it suffered at the hands of the Bai family on Yu Yinghai.

Within Junheng, he wasn't faring well either. Those who had associated with Yu Yinghai immediately distanced themselves from him upon hearing of his current predicament...

Therefore, he now blames everything on Yu Lingxue, feeling that she is deliberately ruining him!

He originally intended to take revenge on Yu Lingxue through the hospital, since it was his territory, but now there's no way...

Because the hospital is now under the protection of Bai Cang's father, Bai Zhengzhi, he dares not act rashly, otherwise he will suffer an even more cruel blow from the Bai family...

He's now surrounded and attacked from all sides; nobody's on his side, he's completely isolated and helpless...

All he can do now is keep calling Yu Lingxue, but she hasn't answered a single time.

She had made up her mind; she would no longer do anything for Yu Yinghai. Doing anything would only hurt herself.

All she needs to do is protect the people she cares about.

Just then, Yu Lingxue's phone rang again. She glanced at it, saw it was the same number, and immediately muted it...

I've called myself hundreds of times in the last few days.

Both Bai Cang's hospital room and his mother's room were protected by people arranged by Bai Zhengzhi, so Yu Yinghai had no chance to get close, nor could he send anyone to do so.

So she simply stopped caring, as long as the people she cared about were safe.

As Bai Cang ate, he noticed Yu Lingxue had silenced her phone, and he knew exactly who was calling...

He put down his chopsticks, looked at Yu Lingxue, hesitated for a moment, as if he were thinking about something.

"What's wrong?" Yu Lingxue looked up at Bai Cang and asked in confusion.

Bai Cang suddenly reached out and grasped Yu Lingxue's hand, whispering:

"Um... don't be afraid, from now on... I'll protect you, you won't be threatened by your father anymore..."

A hush fell over the ward... Yu Lingxue froze, staring at Bai Cang, her mouth slightly agape, as if she had lost the ability to think...

But Bai Cang still had a serious expression on his face, and didn't look like he was joking at all.

"Pfft-"

A few seconds later, Yu Lingxue suddenly burst out laughing, covering her mouth with her hand and giggling incessantly...

Bai Cang blushed slightly at this, and it was unclear what had suddenly gotten into her...

"Hehehe... What's wrong? Why are you suddenly acting like a hero? You're acting like a man now."

Upon hearing the last sentence, Bai Cang lowered his head in embarrassment...

He felt that his relationship with Yu Lingxue had reached that point... In fact, he had long wanted to take the plunge and confirm his relationship with Yu Lingxue...

However, he knew that Yu Lingxue had always disliked him...

Because he used to like men, he'd definitely be disliked and resented, so he didn't dare mention it. He figured he'd most likely be met with resistance.

"I used to... I really did..."

He wanted to say that he hadn't really been a man before, but before he could finish speaking, Yu Lingxue reached out and pressed her finger to his mouth, stopping him from continuing.

"Alright, why bring up the past? I know what you want to say..."

"Uh...really? Then you...you actually said you liked me, don't you find it...disgusting?"

Bai Cang's voice grew softer and softer until it was barely audible, like a mosquito's buzz. He was truly terrified, afraid that Yu Lingxue would find him disgusting, or that she had only joked about liking him that day, or that she might have regretted it...

He's genuinely worried and a little scared right now.

"Everyone has a dark past. Didn't you become normal many years ago?"

Yu Lingxue shrugged, seemingly unconcerned about it at all.

This was a thorn in Bai Cang's side, but it didn't seem to matter that much to Yu Lingxue...

The moment Bai Cang appeared when I was most helpless, the moment Bai Cang protected me when I was in the most danger...

To protect her, he disregarded his own safety, and even when he was beaten to the point of near unconsciousness, he didn't give up...

At that moment, she felt that Bai Cang was the most manly man, the man among men!

Therefore, she didn't care what Bai Cang was like before; all she knew was that he was now the man who had her completely captivated!

"real?!"

Bai Cang's eyes lit up with surprise. His heart was now filled with hope, and he felt that he could launch an attack!

Yu Lingxue has already said so much; if he still doesn't know what's good for him, he'll be too foolish!

"Then...would you...be my girlfriend...?"

"but!"

Suddenly, Yu Lingxue changed the subject, pointing at Bai Cang's forehead and staring at him seriously, cutting him off from what he was about to say...

"Ah...but what...?"

Bai Cang's heart suddenly raced, and an expression of unease returned to his face...

A blush rose on Yu Lingxue's face, and she whispered:

"But you need to get a medical checkup... I'm worried you might have contracted some disease before. If you're fine... then I'll date you..."

Bai Cang paused for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Oh...hahaha...I see, don't worry! I have a physical exam every year, this is fine..."
