The Female Lead is Quite Unusual - Episode 44

“I… I didn’t.”

The moment Bai Yin whispered “sister” close to her ear, Lin Wan felt her entire body go numb. She instinctively shivered, turned her head away, her heart racing so fast it felt like it was about to leap out of her chest. It seemed as if all the blood in her body was rushing to her face.

It took a while for Lin Wan to regain her composure. Stuttering, she continued to explain, “I just accidentally clicked into that website. I didn’t mean to watch that. ”

She wanted to keep explaining, but Bai Yin gently interrupted her.

“It’s actually okay if you did watch it. After all, some impulses are just human nature.”

“But since Wanwan says it was a mistake, of course I believe you.”

Bai Yin turned off the phone and handed it back to Lin Wan, her tone sounding light and gentle. “But it’s mealtime now, so let’s focus on eating. I turned it off for you. You don’t mind, do you?”

Bai Yin seemed as considerate as ever, but the more Lin Wan thought about it, the more she felt something was off. She couldn’t shake the feeling that Bai Yin didn’t actually believe her and was just habitually saving her face.

Moreover, as Bai Yin spoke, her warm breath kept brushing against Lin Wan’s ear, making her heart grow even more flustered.

Could Bai Yin have noticed something?

Bai Yin wasn’t foolish. If she had caught Lin Wan watching such a video and Lin Wan continued to evade the topic of taking private photos, it would be easy for Bai Yin to guess that Lin Wan had designs on her beauty.

Thinking this, even though she always felt flustered around Bai Yin, Lin Wan steeled herself and couldn’t help but continue, “And there’s one more thing you got wrong. I don’t need to watch such videos for inspiration.”

Lin Wan cheered herself on internally. When she looked at various pictures online, her emotions remained completely unaffected. Perhaps when taking private photos of Bai Yin, she would adopt a professional perspective, and it wouldn’t be as bad as she imagined.

So, gritting her teeth, Lin Wan met Bai Yin’s deepening gaze, stiffened her neck, and couldn’t resist adding, “I’m just waiting for the weather. The lighting isn’t great right now, and the photos won’t turn out well. Once the lighting improves, I’ll definitely take your pictures!”

“You’re so beautiful, of course we have to capture you at your best.”

After that, Bai Yin didn’t seem to suspect her of secretly watching the video anymore. In fact, not long after finishing their meal, she eagerly pulled Lin Wan along to pick out clothes for the photoshoot.

This was Lin Wan’s first time entering Bai Yin’s walk-in closet.

Bai Yin’s closet was larger than Lin Wan had imagined, with many clothes still bearing their tags, spanning various styles.

Looking at the rows of outfits that seemed particularly revealing though actually within normal limits. Lin Wan’s nose began to feel warm as she imagined Bai Yin wearing them.

Oh no!

Lin Wan couldn’t help but regret it. She shouldn’t have made such a hasty promise.

She secretly checked the weather forecast: it had been overcast and rainy lately, but the weather was expected to clear up in three days.

By then, she would have no more excuses to delay!

Lin Wan could only try her best to minimize the risk of exposure. While helping Bai Yin choose outfits for the shoot, she vigorously recommended the most conservative styles and argued convincingly.

“Although I have confidence in my own integrity, there’s no telling what unexpected situations might arise. We have to prepare for the worst-case scenario.”

“And besides, Wanwan, wearing these outfits really brings out your temperament.”

Bai Yin blinked, not agreeing to wear the clothes Lin Wan had picked out, but instead curiously looking at Lin Wan: “What kind of temperament do I have?”

The question immediately stumped Lin Wan.

If it were before, Lin Wan would have answered without hesitation that it was an innocent and kind-hearted temperament. But after spending time together recently, Lin Wan’s mindset had changed. She increasingly felt that Bai Yin was like a vixen, subtly and faintly seducing her.

But Bai Yin absolutely could not be seducing her, so the problem must lie with herself: her own mind was impure, and she had developed lustful thoughts toward Bai Yin, which in turn altered her perception of Bai Yin.

Lin Wan opened her mouth, hesitated for a long moment, and finally stammered out a compromise answer to Bai Yin’s question: “You have a temperament that’s so beautiful it makes people overlook what you’re wearing, very relaxing and likable.”

Bai Yin laughed.

“Since I’m so wonderful in Wanwan’s eyes, do you like spending time with me?” Bai Yin curved her lips, her eyes sparkling as she stared intently at Lin Wan.

“Of course.” Lin Wan’s cheeks flushed red under her gaze, and she answered almost without thinking.

She wasn’t lying. When she was with Bai Yin, even just quietly watching her, she never felt bored.

“Then I’ll listen to Wanwan.”

Lin Wan’s answer seemed to please Bai Yin. Bai Yin slightly curved her lips, her gaze falling on the clothes Lin Wan had picked out, her face visibly delighted.

“Whatever WanWan wants me to wear, I’ll wear it.”

And so the matter of the clothes was settled.

Now, the hardest thing to overcome was Lin Wan’s mindset.

Whenever she faced Bai Yin, Lin Wan couldn’t suppress the stirrings in her heart. If she accidentally revealed any flaws in front of Bai Yin, just the thought of that scenario made her extremely flustered.

Afterward, whenever she faced Bai Yin, Lin Wan felt somewhat distracted. The moment she looked at her phone, Bai Yin’s gaze would drift over. Even though Bai Yin never said anything, for some reason, Lin Wan always felt that Bai Yin suspected she was looking at something inappropriate again, which was why she was watching her so closely.

After telling Bai Yin about wanting her to imitate classic scenes from films and TV shows and sending her a few selected examples, Lin Wan, to prove herself, didn’t look at her phone for the rest of the day.

It wasn’t until she returned to her room that evening that Lin Wan turned on her phone again.

She already had a plan in mind. As soon as she entered her room, she quickly opened an online consultation window and contacted an internet doctor.

When describing her symptoms, Lin Wan found it difficult. She simply couldn’t bring herself to frankly admit her lustful thoughts toward Bai Yin.

After some thought, Lin Wan decided to twist the truth: she described herself as a forty-year-old middle-aged woman with a daughter. Her condition was that recently, whenever she saw her beloved daughter, her heart would race, and she’d feel restless and anxious.

Lin Wan felt her description was quite clever. After all, she had always viewed Bai Yin as a young girl, and it was only recently that she’d discovered she had feelings for Bai Yin beyond mere affection.

“Doctor, I’ve been having a racing heart and feeling restless lately. Do you have any methods to help alleviate these symptoms?”

“Have you recently encountered significant setbacks in your work or personal life?” The online doctor seemed quite busy, taking a few minutes to accept the consultation.

“Yes, work has been quite stressful.” Thinking of Li Pei and others who, at this critical moment, were secretly targeting Bai Yin like venomous snakes lurking in the gutter, Lin Wan felt extremely tense.

The response from the other side was slow, and it took a while before they replied: “Considering your age, this is a normal phenomenon. Has your child exhibited any unusual behavior recently?”

Lin Wan thought for a moment and replied carefully, “Not particularly abnormal, but she has recently been wearing clothes that are quite different from her usual style.”

“That makes sense.”

The other side replied: “I suggest you have a good talk with your child about her clothing choices. You could also consider taking some calming medication, exercise more, and maintain a relaxed mood. After all, your child is grown now.”

Talking to Bai Yin about her clothing choices was impossible. Bai Yin was an adult, and her clothing choices weren’t particularly revealing. Lin Wan felt guilty because she had her own hidden thoughts.

However, Lin Wan did gain some insight from the doctor’s words.

The reason she was overthinking was that she had been too comfortable around Bai Yin lately. She needed to keep herself busy.

Lin Wan ordered the calming medication prescribed by the doctor, such as “Xiaoyao Pills,” and then did several dozen push-ups in her room. She rarely exercised, and after finishing the push-ups, she was so exhausted she could barely straighten her back. After washing up, she saw a message from Bai Yin.

“Wanwan, can you come over a bit earlier today? I want to rehearse some scenes with you. It’s been so long since I’ve performed, and I’m feeling a bit nervous.”

It was half an hour earlier than Bai Yin’s usual bedtime.

Lin Wan forced her tired body to Bai Yin’s room.

Bai Yin hadn’t changed into her pajamas. Instead, she was wearing a form-fitting cheongsam, her hair elegantly styled into a bun, and her face fully made up.

Lin Wan had seen Bai Yin wear makeup before, but it had always been light makeup. This was the first time she had seen Bai Yin with heavy makeup.

This version of Bai Yin was graceful and exuded an alluring charm.

Seeing Lin Wan enter, Bai Yin widened her eyes and happily reached out to her: “Wang Qing, you’re here!”

Wang Qing?

Meeting Bai Yin’s expectant gaze, Lin Wan’s spirits lifted, and she immediately understood which scene Bai Yin was acting out.

It was a famous film and television drama from the last century. Bai Yin was playing Zhao Zhu, the daughter of a landlord who eloped with a poor young man for love. This character was always among the most pitied supporting roles in film and television.

The poor young man, Wang Qing, took Zhao Zhu to the big city, where he lost his memory during a chaotic conflict and fell in love with the female lead. When Wang Qing regained his memory and returned home, he discovered that Zhao Zhu, having lost him, had been driven mad and often mistook others for him.

During the time he had lost his memory, the third male lead, who had always liked Zhao Zhu, took advantage of the situation and pretended to be Wang Qing to marry her.

Though the third male lead was despicable, he took care of Zhao Zhu in every way, protecting her from hardship. However, the fact remained that he had taken advantage of the situation. After Wang Qing returned, he schemed relentlessly and killed the third male lead, who, even in death, refused to let his blood stain Zhao Zhu.

Years later, people were still debating whether Zhao Zhu was truly mad or just pretending, because when the third male lead died, Zhao Zhu cried out his name.

But later, when facing Wang Qing, Zhao Zhu could no longer recognize him and kept calling other people “Wang Qing.”

At this moment, the female lead arrived.

After a series of confrontations, the supporting female character Zhao Zhu was no match for the female lead. Wang Qing realized that his true love was the female lead and that he no longer felt anything for Zhao Zhu. So, Wang Qing sent Zhao Zhu back to her hometown.

Zhao Zhu had left home as a perfectly fine young woman but returned mentally unstable. Her family would not let the matter rest and once again opposed Wang Qing. After dozens of episodes, the Zhao family faced a crisis in the business world, and Wang Qing came to their aid. In the end, the two families reconciled, even sharing a New Year’s Eve dinner together in the finale.

The New Year’s Eve dinner was lively and festive, with the only discordant note being Zhao Zhu, who, due to her madness, was confined to her room and unable to join.

Every day, Zhao Zhu would put on beautiful makeup and dress exquisitely, staring blankly at the door and calling everyone who entered “Wang Qing.”

The grand finale showed Wang Qing holding the female lead in the shadows, watching the deranged Zhao Zhu. They observed her expression shift from anticipation to disappointment, then to emptiness, as Wang Qing answered the female lead’s question: “Zhao Zhu is so beautiful and so devoted to you. Don’t you feel anything for her?”

Many classic films and TV shows don’t hold up under close scrutiny.

In their youth, people were naive and would be moved by Wang Qing’s final line: “We’ve already missed too much. I just want to be with you properly. Among thousands of waters, I’ll only take one sip.” But as they grew older, they could only feel pity for Zhao Zhu, who was once vibrant, daring to love and hate, yet ended up insane.

Many saw themselves in Zhao Zhu. Pouring their hearts into love with reckless abandon, only to end up disillusioned and hollow, living in a world of delusions.

Moreover, the actress who played Zhao Zhu was pale and delicate, evoking immense sympathy.

Lin Wan felt that Bai Yin’s temperament was very similar to that actress, which was why she asked Bai Yin to perform this scene. Nowadays, there are many recreations of this scene on short video platforms, but Lin Wan always felt they lacked something.

But Bai Yin performed it perfectly. She wore the most beautiful makeup and the most exquisite clothes, carrying a hint of the pride of a wealthy young lady. Yet, her eyes as she looked at Lin Wan were passionate and radiant, her joy and anticipation hidden within them.

Meeting Bai Yin’s gaze, Lin Wan couldn’t bring herself to say the line she had intended: “Miss, I am not Mr. Wang.”

In that moment, she deeply understood the third male lead in the drama who had impersonated Wang Qing: Faced with such beautiful, hopeful eyes, how could anyone bear to let that hope shatter?

Lin Wan stood frozen in front of Bai Yin, unsure of what to do, simply staring at her with wide eyes.

Bai Yin blinked, a shadow of disappointment flickering in her eyes.

As if completely immersed in her role, she suddenly rushed over and hugged Lin Wan. Afraid that Bai Yin’s legs might not support her, Lin Wan quickly steadied her.

In the next moment, Bai Yin, her eyes brimming with love, wrapped her arms around Lin Wan.

Shy yet petulant, she planted a delicate kiss on Lin Wan’s cheek and said in a coquettish tone, “What, after so long apart, don’t you miss me?”

Bai Yin’s lips barely brushed against her before pulling away.

She clung to Lin Wan’s neck, not letting go, as if she had stepped out of character and returned to her usual self. She looked at Lin Wan expectantly and asked, “Wanwan, how was my performance?”

It took a long moment before Lin Wan swallowed and whispered in response.

“Very good.”

She felt like she was done for!

The moment Bai Yin leaned in to kiss her, her back stiffened, and her mind went blank with a “boom,” as if fireworks had exploded inside her.

Happiness, shyness, surprise…

Countless emotions surged within her heart.

These reactions could no longer be explained away as a mere attraction to beauty.

She could clearly sense it. She had fallen for Bai Yin.

But this feeling should not exist: once a person develops love for another, they start wanting to possess, to interfere, to be seen as the only one in the other’s eyes.

Yet her purpose in getting close to Bai Yin was to let her live happily and freely, doing whatever she wanted.

She had always been stubborn; once she set her mind on something, she wouldn’t give up easily. For now, she could still control it, but if these feelings continued to grow, Lin Wan feared she wouldn’t be able to resist developing a possessive desire that could hurt Bai Yin.

After all, Bai Yin was so delicate, and it seemed like she could do anything to her without resistance.

By then, everything would spiral out of control.

In that fleeting moment, countless thoughts raced through Lin Wan’s mind, making her feel as if a bucket of ice-cold water had been poured over her head.

The moment she understood her own feelings, Lin Wan actually calmed down.

“Yin Yin, I’m sorry, I can’t act.”

She lowered her eyes, slowly helping Bai Yin back into the wheelchair. Meeting Bai Yin’s deepening gaze, Lin Wan’s face still carried a blush from excitement and shyness, yet her expression was remarkably composed: “You really acted brilliantly.”

“You just do what you want to do; you don’t need to worry about anything else. I will always be your support, and I’ll help you with anything you want to do.”

Even if it meant completely stifling her own heart’s desires.

“You still say you’re not into the role.”

Bai Yin glanced at Lin Wan, a faint smile slowly appearing in her eyes. Her red lips curved upward as she spoke, almost teasingly: “Wanwan, saying that sounds a lot like a confession to me.”

Dressed in her glamorous attire, she looked dazzlingly radiant. With her chin slightly raised, she appeared both delicate and charming, shedding her usual jasmine-like purity to reveal a rose-like, passionate, and straightforward allure.

A bitter smile touched Lin Wan’s lips.

This wasn’t a confession; it was a warning to herself, a vow of loyalty to Bai Yin.

Her feelings would likely remain a secret she could never voice aloud. She needed to stick to her role.

So, Lin Wan curved her lips slightly but didn’t respond to Bai Yin’s words, instead patting her shoulder helplessly: “Yin Yin, stop fooling around.”

Bai Yin didn’t reply but raised an eyebrow.

The moment Lin Wan saw that expression, she instinctively felt something was wrong. After spending so much time together, she knew all too well that the delicate young lady had a rebellious streak.

Sure enough, Bai Yin leaned in again.

She wrapped her arms around Lin Wan’s neck, pouting as if deeply unhappy: “Wang Qing, why are you so cold today? Do you not like me anymore?”

Lin Wan met Bai Yin’s eyes, which were clearly filled with grievance.

Even though she knew Bai Yin was pretending, Lin Wan found she didn’t have the heart to push her away again.

“What do you want me to do?” Lin Wan sighed, resignedly asking.

“I kissed you, so why haven’t you kissed me back? Do you dislike me now?” A hint of a smile seeped into Bai Yin’s eyes.

Her tone sounded quite aggrieved as she tilted her head to look at Lin Wan, her eyes carrying a mix of shyness and anticipation. She spoke in a delicate, coquettish voice.

Lin Wan pressed her lips tightly together.

She knew Bai Yin was teasing her. Bai Yin was probably certain she wouldn’t dare to act.

But…

As Lin Wan gazed at Bai Yin’s beautiful face so close to hers, a voice suddenly echoed in her heart: “Why not? Just this once…”

Lin Wan pursed her lips.

“What’s wrong?”

Bai Yin reached out, stroking Lin Wan’s cheek with a hint of provocation, her eyes brimming with a triumphant smile. “It’s been so long since we last met. Have we grown distant? Or have you found someone new and don’t want to bother with me anymore? Like the one on your phone.”

Bai Yin’s words were cut off abruptly.

Lin Wan lowered her head, meeting Bai Yin’s disbelieving gaze, and tremblingly pressed a kiss to her cheek.

“Stop fooling around.”

Lin Wan’s lips barely made contact before she pulled away, her face flushing as red as if it were about to bleed.

She kept her head lowered, her body stiff, and spoke in a trembling voice, “It’s late. Time to sleep.”

The lingering softness from touching Bai Yin’s cheek remained on her lips. Lin Wan didn’t dare to look up, afraid that Bai Yin might notice something. Afraid of seeing a look of disgust in Bai Yin’s beautiful eyes.

…

She heard Bai Yin’s soft laughter.

In her memory, Bai Yin had never laughed so joyfully before. So much so that she even lost the ingrained poise of a refined young lady.

Lin Wan couldn’t help but lift her head again.

She met Bai Yin’s eyes, filled with laughter.

“Wanwan, you’re so adorable.”

“I’ll listen to whatever Wanwan says. Wanwan can ask me to do anything.”

Bai Yin leaned in closer and gently touched Lin Wan’s forehead.

There wasn’t a trace of disgust on her face; it seemed she was still immersed in the moment. Her gaze at Lin Wan was fervent and radiant, so much so that Lin Wan almost felt as if Bai Yin was passionately in love with her.

But that was impossible! Lin Wan knew her place.

“Yin Yin, stop fooling around.”

Unconsciously, Lin Wan’s voice carried a clear note of pleading.

She took a deep breath, her heart aching with a bittersweet feeling, and pretended nothing was wrong as she handed Bai Yin her pajamas, whispering, “Go wash off your makeup, freshen up, and get some sleep.”

Bai Yin laughed again.

Lin Wan didn’t dare to look at her. Only when the bathroom door closed did Lin Wan lift her head once more.

That’s it…

Lin Wan touched her lips and let out a soft sigh.

Some feelings were destined to go nowhere. Time would smooth over all turbulence, and she was sure she and Bai Yin would eventually return to how they used to be.

Just after kissing Bai Yin, Lin Wan’s emotions were still somewhat unsettled.

While Bai Yin was washing up, Lin Wan took another melatonin pill. By the time Bai Yin came out of the bathroom, she found Lin Wan already fast asleep.

The next day, the medicine Lin Wan had ordered online arrived.

She took a few Xiaoyao Pills. Whether it was a placebo effect or not, she felt much calmer when facing Bai Yin afterward.

She helped Bai Yin film a segment imitating a classic scene. As expected, once the video was uploaded, the malicious comments accusing Bai Yin of photoshopping vanished. The comment section was flooded with praises for Bai Yin’s beauty.

Some juniors from Bai Yin’s school also revealed her identity in the comments.

“Holy crap! Isn’t that the legendary figure from our college? So, she had a leg accident. No wonder she took a leave of absence. I can testify, she’s even prettier than in the photos. Our teacher, who’s seen countless beauties, considers her the most stunning, and her professional skills are rock-solid. Plus, her family is super wealthy. If she’s not doing livestreams, it’s probably because she doesn’t care about the money.” After that, someone from Bai Yin University came forward with revelations, sharing videos from Bai Yin’s time at the university.” Bai Yin even ended up trending, quickly gaining a surge of followers.

The tide in the comments section shifted, and Lin Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In between filming and editing videos for Bai Yin, Lin Wan continued to carry out her plan. Using the excuse of being physically weak and needing exercise, she pushed herself to exhaustion every day.

This method actually worked; when facing Bai Yin, Lin Wan found herself less distracted by wandering thoughts.

After Bai Yin found out she was exercising, she looked at Lin Wan with a strangely subtle expression. Lin Wan was startled, thinking Bai Yin had discovered something, but then she heard Bai Yin murmur as if to herself, “Maybe I should start exercising too. I wonder if it’s too late now. ”

Anything that could benefit Bai Yin’s health, Lin Wan naturally supported wholeheartedly.

The next day, Butler Zhao brought in a whole array of fitness equipment.

Perhaps because she didn’t want anyone to see her in a disheveled state, Bai Yin always exercised alone. It was clear she was putting in a lot of effort. Lin Wan saw her several times emerging from the room drenched in sweat.

Sometimes, Bai Yin would even gaze at Lin Wan with a faintly teasing look, boasting, “Wanwan, if I end up way stronger than you, don’t blame me if I don’t go easy on you.”

Lin Wan naturally played along, agreeing with her.

As the weather improved, Lin Wan could no longer put off taking private photos of Bai Yin.

Even though she had taken Xiaoyao Wan in advance, during the shoot, Lin Wan’s heart raced uncontrollably. She didn’t dare look too closely at Bai Yin’s curvaceous figure and just clicked the shutter randomly.

But Bai Yin’s natural beauty shone through even the casually taken photos turned out surprisingly well.

And even though Bai Yin seemed to have just started exercising, perhaps because she was so slim, she already had a well-defined set of abs!

Staring at the photos in the camera, Lin Wan wasn’t sure whether she should even edit them.

Fortunately, Bai Yin didn’t rush her. As the year-end approached, Bai Yin seemed busier, often shut in the study with Butler Zhao discussing something.

But when alone with Lin Wan, Bai Yin grew increasingly affectionate.

Bai Yin’s usual fastidiousness seemed to vanish around Lin Wan. She would often reach out to hold Lin Wan’s hand, look at her with a gaze that made Lin Wan blush, and occasionally even plant a kiss on Lin Wan’s cheek.

Faced with Bai Yin’s intimacy, Lin Wan felt both sweet and tormented. She had resolved to suppress her feelings, yet she couldn’t control her racing heart.

In what felt like an eternity of inner turmoil, another half-month passed.

One night, Lin Wan woke up to find Bai Yin’s clothes had slipped halfway off again, her heart nearly leaping out of her throat. After managing to pull Bai Yin’s clothes back up and falling asleep again, Lin Wan had a dream.

Probably due to the stress of facing Bai Yin during the day, in the dream, she was pinned down by Bai Yin, subjected to all sorts of chaotic things.

In the dream, she kept crying out, “Yin Yin, please, no more…” and woke up drenched in sweat.

When Lin Wan woke up, she met Bai Yin’s thoughtful gaze.

“What don’t you want anymore?” she heard Bai Yin muse aloud.

Had Bai Yin overheard her sleep-talking?

In that moment, Lin Wan just wanted to disappear from this world.

She didn’t want to answer the question, so she brushed it off with a “nothing much” and closed her eyes, pretending to sleep.

Fortunately, Bai Yin didn’t seem inclined to press the matter.

Lost in thought, Bai Yin spoke softly from behind Lin Wan, “So that’s what Wanwan thinks, no wonder she’s been so unmoved lately.”

“Actually, this is better. I’ve always preferred to take the initiative myself.”

Lin Wan didn’t understand what Bai Yin was referring to, but in the following days, Bai Yin’s gaze toward her grew increasingly peculiar. Whenever Lin Wan faced Bai Yin, she felt more and more flustered.

If this continued, Lin Wan feared she would lose control over her own heart.

Lin Wan wanted to avoid Bai Yin and have some time alone to collect her thoughts, but with no news from Li Pei and the others, she didn’t dare leave, afraid she might not be there to help Bai Yin if something happened.

As the year-end approached, various events began to pile up.

Today was the annual party for one of Bai Yin’s companies. Even though Bai Yin disliked being in the spotlight, she still needed to make an appearance at such occasions.

Shortly after Bai Yin left in the morning, Lin Wan received a call from abroad. Her informant told her that the doctor she had been trying to find had shortened his vacation plans and would be leaving in three days, urging Lin Wan to go find him as soon as possible.

Lin Wan was torn with indecision. Then, at noon, she received a call from Wang Jiang.

“Lin Wan, you have to save us. Find a way to kill Bai Yin. Our debt situation has been completely exposed now. Everywhere I go, creditors are blocking me. Please, help us kill Bai Yin, okay? Only if Bai Yin dies can we get through this crisis…”

Wang Jiang’s voice on the phone was frantic with panic.

Lin Wan clearly realized: Li Pei and the others had reached a dead end, with no other options, which was why they had made this call.

“Give me three days. I’ll think of something.”

Lin Wan placated Wang Jiang softly while quickly booking a flight abroad.

If she could stall for three days, she would have enough time to go abroad and find that doctor!

After hanging up, Lin Wan hurriedly packed her bags, left a note on Bai Yin’s desk that read, “I have something to attend to abroad,” informed the others of her whereabouts, and then rushed to the airport.
