CHAPTER 247: CHAPTER 244: XING YI, I’M HERE TO SEE YOU

"Yixun, why are your eyes red?"

Lin Yixun’s expression changed, scrambling to collect her emotions, and she nonchalantly replied, "Nothing. The range hood in the kitchen is broken. I think my eyes got irritated while cooking. It’ll be fine in a while."

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Hao didn’t think much of it.

Today, he had a good appetite. Before long, he had devoured all the food in the lunchbox, and he contentedly patted his stomach, saying, "My wife’s cooking is the best. In the future, I want to eat her food every day."

Hearing this, Lin Yixun felt a surge of bitterness. She opened her mouth but stopped herself from speaking.

Lin Yixun forced a stiff smile and said, "I won’t become a housewife who only cooks for you!"

"You’re right, the kitchen fumes are bad for a woman’s skin. How about I cook for you instead and become a house husband?"

Lin Yixun was amused by him. "You, a big star and a genius in the music industry, becoming a house husband would be a waste of talent, wouldn’t it?"

"How is it a waste? Cooking for my wife is the basic duty of a good man. But don’t worry, even if I become a house husband, I can still support you." Saying this, Ouyang Hao began to look forward to their future life, "By then, we can have two kids... oh, pregnancy is too tough, let’s just have one. If it’s a daughter, that would be perfect. With our genes, our daughter would be highly sought after. Then, we’ll buy a house in the suburbs. It doesn’t have to be big, but it must have a garden and a pool. In spring, I can catch butterflies with our daughter; in summer, I can teach her to swim; in winter, we can build snowmen in the garden..."

Ouyang Hao was filled with joy envisioning their future. However, to Lin Yixun, these beautiful prospects were like poison, tearing her heart apart.

She knew it was impossible, yet she couldn’t help but imagine the wonderful future along with Ouyang Hao, getting lost in the fantasy. These dreams were everything she longed for, but dreams are so fragile; they can shatter with just one wrong step.

Lin Yixun forced herself to snap out of it and said to Ouyang Hao, "You should go rehearse. I need to go back now."

Ouyang Hao glanced at his watch and realized it was almost time. "Okay, I’ll go rehearse then."

Suddenly, he pulled Lin Yixun into his arms and kissed her on the forehead, then reminded her, "Don’t forget, my concert is tomorrow. You must come to the concert tomorrow night!"

The concert...

Lin Yixun’s eyes dimmed, but she still nodded reluctantly. In fact, she knew she wouldn’t be able to attend the concert tomorrow because tomorrow night was her final deadline.

Lin Yixun watched Ouyang Hao’s figure as he left. He seemed in high spirits, even his steps seemed light. But what could she do? She had no choice but to cast a shadow over her own bright life.

I’m sorry, Ouyang Hao, but she couldn’t let her father spend the rest of his life in a cold prison cell, nor could she watch her mother’s life slowly fade away. The only thing she could do was to sever, painfully sever everything with Ouyang Hao.

After leaving Ouyang Hao’s rehearsal location, Lin Yixun didn’t go directly back to the hospital but instead went to the cemetery in the outskirts of the city. At night, the whole graveyard was deserted, with only dim lights casting shadows over rows of graves.

The cold wind whistled behind her, occasionally accompanied by the cawing of crows, but Lin Yixun wasn’t afraid at all because Xing Yi was here.
