Twenty minutes later, the nurse returned to the ward. She called out a few times, but she didn't get any reply. She was immediately flustered.
The patient was personally sent over by Young Master Yan. If he knew she had gone missing, he would level the entire hospital.
The nurse looked around the ward and soon discovered the cash and note on the bedside table.
The nurse immediately reported to the head nurse. The head nurse grabbed the money and note to report to the doctor.
When chief surgeon Yuan got the phone call from the head nurse, he was shocked. He was not expecting the woman to grab the medicine and escape from the hospital.
Regardless he had to report this to Young Master Yan. After all, it was Young Master Yan who personally sent the woman there. Even if the woman escaped on her own volition, Young Master Yan had to be notified.
The Director of Saint Hospital reported the matter of Xiao Lingyu's departure to Young Master Yan in fear and trepidation, "Young Master Yan, Miss Xiao left two thousand and a note in the ward. The note explains that the money is to pay for the medical fee. She then left in secret."
Yan Siming frowned slightly and narrowed his eyes. There was faint anger in his eyes, but he calmed down. He said evenly, "Understood, since she doesn't want to stay, then let her be."
"Yes!" The director replied respectfully. After hanging up, the head nurse and Chief Surgeon Yuan immediately asked nervously, "Director, how is it? Did Young Master Yan say anything?"
The director shook his head and said, "Young Master Yan told us to leave this issue alone!"
"Phew!" The head nurse and Chief Surgeon Yuan patted their chests. They let out a massive sigh of relief and said with a smile, "That was so scary."
Then, the head nurse said with confusion, "But this is so strange. Why did the woman escape from the hospital? Isn't she Young Master Yan's woman? I heard that there are many women around Young Master Yan fighting for his favor. There were injuries, threats, and even suicides. However, Young Master Yan did not care about them.
"But this time, Young Master Yan sent the girl here for a small injury. Is she Young Master Yan's new favorite? She's afraid that other woman would take her spot when she was hospitalized, so she sneaked away to go back to Young Master Yan?"
The head nurse had a powerful imagination. Despite her advanced age, she still had the habit of reading romance novels.
Chief Surgeon Yuan laughed while shaking his head. "Impossible!" He sounded very sure.
The director and the head nurse turned to him, smelling the gossip. They asked, "Surgeon Yuan, how can you be so sure?"
Surgeon Yuan immediately mimicked zipping his lips. "There's no way I'm telling!" He was not going to talk behind Young Master Yan's back. He still wanted to keep on living in City Z.
"Tsk!" The head nurse rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction.
The hospital staff was very curious about Xiao Lingyu's identity.
When Yan Siming returned to his company, he had a dark expression. He gritted his teeth and said, "Xiao Lingyu, damn you!"
He already promised that he would look after her, but she still escaped from his care. At Saint Hospital, everyone saw him bring her there. However, this woman had left behind some cash and absconded. Xiao Lingyu didn't give him any face at all!
"Damn! Xiao Lingyu, you're good!" Yan Siming growled angrily again.
Secretary Wang, who stood opposite Yan Siming, had his heart tremble. He carefully asked, "Young Master, do you want us to check on Miss Xiao?"
To be honest, when Young Master Yan carried Xiao Lingyu out of Huiqing Group, Secretary Wang was already shocked out of his mind. Young Master Yan had never done something like this before!
From that, Secretary Wang knew that Young Master Yan had a unique relationship with Miss Xiao.
Now that Young Master Yan heard Miss Xiao had secretly escaped from the hospital, he was actually angry! No woman had managed to elicit that emotion from Young Master Yan before!
Young Master Yan glanced at Secretary Wang. His gaze was so sharp that Secretary Wang shivered. Secretary Wang had no idea why his boss was looking at him like that. Did he say something wrong?
Young Master Yan soon returned to his normal state and said coldly, "There's no need!" Even though he was quite interested in Xiao Lingyu, he would not chase after a woman.
Yan Siming tried to use different methods to tempt Xiao Lingyu. Xiao Lingyu rejected him at first before slowly relenting. It was then that Yan Siming started to lose interest. However, he continued to act along to enjoy the show.
Yan Siming's eyes glowed with disdain when Xiao Lingyu asked Zhao Huiqing for five million. Yan Siming assumed Xiao Lingyu was another gold digger. However, when he heard Xiao Lingyu's second condition, which was for Chen Ran and Zhao Wenman to get married, he was shocked.
At the time, Yan Siming captured the anger and hatred in Xiao Lingyu's eyes clearly, so he didn't understand why she was doing so much to help the adulterous couple. Yan Siming believed Xiao Lingyu was up to something, so he continued to cooperate with her.
When the marriage certificates were officiated, Xiao Lingyu wrote secretly in his palm, "Acquire Huiqing."
At that moment, he was even impressed by how ruthless and clever Xiao Lingyu was.
Even if she was a gold digger, at least she was an interesting one. If she wanted money, he would give her money.
However, at the hospital, Xiao Lingyu surprised him again. She wanted him to donate the five million. Only then did Yan Siming understand Xiao Lingyu was honestly just using him.
The fact that Xiao Lingyu had escaped secretly from the hospital proved one thing. She did not want to have anything to do with him anymore.
After reaching this conclusion, a cunning smile appeared on Young Master Yan's lips. He said, "Well done, woman. Your tactic has grabbed my interest."
Young Master Yan thought he could charm any woman, and Xiao Lingyu was no exception.
However, Xiao Lingyu was more shrewd than any woman he had ever met. The tactics that she played didn't turn him off. If anything, it made her even more alluring.
Secretary Wang, who was at the side, felt his heart quiver. He asked carefully again, "Then, Young Master, do you want to check on Miss Xiao?"
Young Master Yan smiled playfully and said, "Just find out where she lives for now. There's no need to investigate anything else."
"Yes!" Secretary Wang replied very respectfully. 'Is Young Master Yan finally in love? Some woman has managed to capture his heart?'
...
After Xiao Lingyu left the hospital, she did not dare to delay at all. She immediately got into a taxi and headed to her rental home.
Actually, the company had arranged a dorm for its workers but to have some privacy with Chen Ran, Xiao Lingyu rented this house in the small neighborhood that was relatively far away from the company.
The place was small. It had only one bedroom and one living room. But it had all the necessities. Most of the time, Chen Ran would sleep on the sofa in the living room if he stayed over.
When she reached home, Xiao Lingyu didn't even stop to examine the rental that she had not seen for six years. She leaned on the sofa and carefully pulled back the collar of her shirt. She took a careful look before grabbing a bandage to seal the wound back up.
Xiao Lingyu's face was pale as she muttered, "This is not a dream! But this is impossible!"
Xiao Lingyu still found it unbelievable.
"No, I need to do something to confirm this!" Xiao Lingyu thought, but then she pursed her lips. "But how am I supposed to do that?"
Xiao Lingyu had no idea how she got into and got out of that magical space...
How funny things line up.
"Young master, this is where Miss Xiao stays!" Secretary Wang gave the address to Yan Siming. It was not that hard to find someone's address.
Yan Siming accepted the note. His lips curled into a devilish smile, and he ordered, "Go and order 99 roses. Send them over tomorrow!"
Secretary Wang replied respectfully, "Yes, Young Master!"
After Secretary Wang Left, Yan Siming toyed with the note and smiled playfully, "Xiao Lingyu, let's see how long you can hold out."
Yan Siming had confidence in his charm. Putting aside his background, he was good-looking and muscular. He was a walking Adonis.
...
Xiao Lingyu sat dazed on the sofa. She kept muttering, "What's going on? Did I imagine everything? If I didn't, how do I get back there? How do I enter the place?"
As Xiao Lingyu muttered to herself, she turned the jade pendant around her neck. As she said the word, 'enter', the world around her shifted.
The spring pond and the farming land reappeared. Xiao Lingyu was stunned. She held the jade pendant and didn't let go.
Xiao Lingyu gasped, "I've returned. So it was not a dream! But what is really going on?" Xiao Lingyu was no closer to an answer.
She looked around before her eyes slowly returned to her hand, which was still holding the jade pendant. She noticed the color of the pendant had changed.
Previously, the jade pendant was dull green in color, but now it was shiny like a crystal. However, what surprised her the most was the thing that was not there. Xiao Lingyu remembered her blood had stuck onto the pendant when she was injured. She had not cleaned the pendant, but the bloodstain on the pendant had miraculously disappeared.
Xiao Lingyu had a flash of inspiration. "Is it all because of this jade pendant?" Then she remembered that she was always holding this pendant in her hand whenever she got transported in and out of this mysterious space.
Xiao Lingyu had a hypothesis, and she wanted to confirm it. She held the pendant in her hand, and she said, "Exit!"
She returned to her room. Xiao Lingyu's eyes lit up, and her face filled with excitement. "My hypothesis is correct!" But she still tried it a few more times.
Xiao Lingyu held onto the jade pendant and chanted, "Enter!"
She teleported away.
"Exit!"
"Enter!"
"Exit!"
"Enter!"
The multiple tests confirmed her hypothesis.
Xiao Lingyu then sat down to study the jade pendant carefully. The jade pendant had a phoenix shape. She picked it up in a small river near the village when she was young.
She came from a poor village. Her parents couldn't afford to buy her any jewelry. All they could afford was a cheap headband. Xiao Lingyu's parents were very kind to her and pampered her a lot. However, that only meant Xiao Lingyu had a few more headbands than the other girls. She soon got bored.
When Xiao Lingyu found the jade pendant in the river, she was captivated by its beauty. She brought it home and had her mother tie it around her neck with a red rope.
That was twenty years ago.
Xiao Lingyu never imagined that the accidental find would bring her such a big surprise.
Then Xiao Lingyu was consumed by fear. If people found out she had such a treasure, they would do anything to steal it from her. She had seen enough wuxia movies to know the plot. She took a sip of the spring water to calm herself down.
'But wait... There is nothing here except this spring and undeveloped farming land. What use is this place other than to farm it?
'Then again, what will really happen if farming is conducted here? Since the space is magical, will the product be magical too?'
Xiao Lingyu scratched her nose, and then she was assaulted by a horrible stench. She wrinkled her nose and looked down. "What's going on? Why do I have so much mud on me? I..." Then something hit Xiao Lingyu. She said in doubt. "Is it because I've drunk from the spring?"
Other than that, she couldn't think of anything else.
"The spring has some kind of rejuvenation and cleansing effect?" Xiao Lingyu remembered such miracles from fantasy dramas. "So drinking or bathing in the spring will help improve one's physique?" Xiao Lingyu wanted to give it another test.
Xiao Lingyu walked to the edge of the spring and took a few careful sips. Then she removed her clothes and jumped into the spring. The temperature was perfect.
After Xiao Lingyu was done washing her body, she realized her skin had become fairer. It was even shining with luster. It was like her skin had been given the Photoshop effect.
Xiao Lingyu was certain that the spring had some kind of beautify and cleansing effect. But she had no clue if that was because she had drunk or bathed in the spring. She had done both, so she might have to do another test... with perhaps another test subject.
With that in mind, Xiao Lingyu had to wonder if she could bring the spring water out of the space with her.
Xiao Lingyu exited the space and put on her pajama in her bedroom. She grabbed an empty bottle in the kitchen. She held the bottle in one hand and the pendant in another. She chanted, "Enter!"
The bottle was still in her hand, so that proved that at least she could bring stuff into the magical space with her. Now the question was, could she bring the stuff from the space out.
After Xiao Lingyu filled the bottle with the spring water, she chanted, "Exit!"
The filled water bottle was still in her hand. The test was positive. Now, the next step was to verify if the water was still magical in the real world. But Xiao Lingyu knew she had to conduct that part of her test in private.
In any case, Xiao Lingyu had another question. Since the spring in the magical space had some magical uses, what about the farming plots? Then again, what could she do with the land? Farm?
Xiao Lingyu's eyes glowed. 'Actually, why not? I should try farming in there and see what will happen!'
But people would question if she suddenly appeared with farming produce in the city. The better idea was for her to return to her hometown before she tried any farming.
At that moment, Xiao Lingyu suddenly felt a strong enthusiasm and anticipation of returning home and starting a farm.
The sudden appearance of this magical space frightened and surprised Xiao Lingyu. But after these initial emotions passed, Xiao Lingyu was itching with eagerness.
Before this, Xiao Lingyu's only reason to stay in City Z was Chen Ran. Since there was no more reason for her to stay, she might as well go home and farm.
And the farming begins
