My gorgeous wife

Chapter 524: Chapter 497: What if I Don’t Leave?

"What’s wrong?" Noticing the change in Lin Yi’s expression, Li Chen couldn’t help but ask.

Just now when Lin Yi had taken the call, Li Chen had also glanced briefly and faintly saw the word ’family’; could the call have come from the Lin Family?

Thinking of the Lin Family gave Li Chen an uncomfortable feeling.

Especially his father-in-law, whom Li Chen really disliked. To think that for the benefit of the family, he would even sell out his own daughter; such a person truly does not deserve to be a father.

Perhaps he indeed was a good family head, but in Li Chen’s eyes, Lin Shu was definitely not a good father.

Therefore, from beginning to end, Li Chen had no wish to interact too much with his father-in-law.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yi looked at Li Chen, and his complexion turned somewhat ugly.

"My father is ill."

Upon hearing Lin Yi’s words, Li Chen frowned slightly and then spoke, "So he’s ill, then he’s ill. The Lin Family is so large; can’t they handle a minor illness?"

But Lin Yi shook his head.

"According to my family, my father’s illness this time is very strange, seemingly beyond the reach of ordinary healing methods, and additionally, they have been unable to diagnose the cause."

"I... I want to go back with Xiaoxiao," Lin Yi said softly, knowing that Li Chen was not fond of the Lin Family.

Hearing Lin Yi’s words, Li Chen’s brows furrowed.

He could understand an unhealable illness, considering there are indeed many incurable diseases in the world.

But the inability to diagnose the cause of the illness, given the Lin Family’s resources, was a bit unbelievable.

Although the Lin Family was not what you’d call top level, their family’s strength was not to be underestimated.

With such a family, finding a few of the best doctors and hospitals should have been a straightforward task, but the response from the Lin Family that they couldn’t diagnose the cause raised some suspicions.

Although Li Chen even suspected that the Lin Family might be using this as an excuse to trick Lin Yi into returning, he still didn’t say it aloud but nodded, "Alright."

As he spoke, Li Chen smiled and kissed Lin Yi on the cheek, "Do what you want to do, you’re my wife, not my slave."

Hearing Li Chen’s words, Lin Yi felt a sweet delight in his heart and for a rare occasion, initiated a return kiss to Li Chen, smiling as she said, "Okay, husband, I’ll start preparing right away."

"Wait." Seeing Lin Yi about to leave, Li Chen quickly spoke up, "I’ll go with you."

"Okay." Knowing that Li Chen was concerned about her safety, Lin Yi did not refuse, nodded, and then went to prepare with Lin Xiaoxiao.

Shortly thereafter, the three of them directly boarded a plane for Yanjing.

To others, taking a plane might require a series of procedures and a long time, but because of Lin Yi’s distinct status, and with the help of Li Chen’s resources, booking tickets to Yanjing had taken hardly any time.

Some things are better addressed sooner rather than later.

"Xiaoxiao, what do you think is really going on?" Lin Yi looked over at Lin Xiaoxiao and said.

At this time, Lin Yi and Lin Xiaoxiao were sitting together, while Li Chen sat alone beside them.

"I don’t know," Lin Xiaoxiao’s face showed her concern, "They only told us that dad seemed to be seriously ill this time, and they couldn’t figure out what was wrong... Sis, dad was fine before, right? How did he suddenly become ill?"

Lin Yi, hearing the words, also shook her head. She didn’t know what the situation was.

Aunt Wang, standing beside, was also puzzled.

After the last incident, she had grown somewhat disappointed with the Lin Family. Hearing this news, her first concern was not whether Lin Shu’s health had really deteriorated but whether this was yet another trap set by the Lin Family.

Li Chen was sitting on the other side, listening to the two sisters chatting, somewhat speechlessly.

What was the point of talking about this here? Wouldn’t everything become clear after they arrived at the Lin Family?

In Li Chen’s view, whether Lin Shu was truly ill or it was a setup, he didn’t much care.

The Lin Family was not even on his radar.

Even the Li Family had been completely wiped out by him in the past, ruthlessly stricken from Yanjing, let alone the Lin Family.

Of course, if Lin Shu’s health had truly deteriorated, he would still go to see him for the sake of his wife.

At that moment, a young man approached the two sisters and said with a smile, "Ladies, I heard your family member is ill?"

Looking at the young man who had suddenly appeared, Lin Yi furrowed her brows slightly, "Who are you? What does our family member’s illness have to do with you?"

Hearing Lin Yi’s words, the young man was not offended and still spoke with a smile, "My name is Gu Cai, and I happen to be a medical student. If the ladies don’t mind, you can tell me about your family member’s symptoms, maybe I can help."

"Thank you, we don’t need your help," Lin Yi glanced at Gu Cai and said coldly.

This kind of flirting was all too familiar to her. Although she didn’t want to talk to him, she maintained politeness on the surface.

Gu Cai looked at Lin Yi and Lin Xiaoxiao, his eyes somewhat fervent.

Such beauties were rare, let alone encountering two at once. He didn’t want to miss this opportunity.

"Don’t look at me like that, ladies. I truly come from a distinguished medical lineage. My master is a well-known expert in the country. If the ladies don’t mind..."

"We mind!" Lin Xiaoxiao cut him off before he could finish, frowning as she spoke.

She didn’t have her sister’s tact and spoke her mind directly.

"Hehe." Gu Cai still smiled, showing no signs of leaving. He understood the principle that persistence wears down resistance, and only thick-skinned, tenacious men could get the girl.

"What are you laughing at? Is there something wrong with your brain?" Seeing Gu Cai’s expression, Lin Xiaoxiao grew even more displeased, and Lin Yi’s expression also turned sour.

"I’m a doctor, of course, I’m not ill. I just wanted to ask for your contact information," Gu Cai shamelessly said.

"They’ve already made it clear for you to get lost, yet why do you insist on having them spell it out for you?" a voice leisurely drifted over from the side.

Hearing this, Gu Cai finally restrained his smile and looked at Li Chen, "What did you mean by your words just now?"

"What did I mean?" Li Chen glanced at the guy, his expression also turning cold, "My meaning is that you should scram."

God damn, hitting on my girl right in front of me, are you asking for trouble!

Li Chen felt that he was still very composed for not jumping up and slapping this guy immediately.

Hearing Li Chen’s words, Gu Cai, however, sneered, "What if I don’t scram?"
