Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities

Chapter 481 Leave!

In an instant, the woman burst with joy when she heard the man’s voice. She could no longer contain the grin on her face. So much so that her lips were stretched from ear to ear.

Du Jingtang leaned against the door with a treacherous smile on his face. The woman fought to keep her smile in check before she entered the ward.

“How are you, Mr. Chu?” The woman approached Chu Lui holding a bouquet of flowers. Meanwhile, Chu Lui’s distinct edges and corners on his face-coupled with an air of wealth-was enough temptation for the woman’s eyes. They were glued to him, unmoving

This man was truly one of his kind. No woman was immune to his looks, family background, and charm. Clearly, she was no exception.

Chu Lui didn’t accept the flowers. The woman was obviously feeling embarrassed about it so she looked around the room in search of a vase to put her flowers. After a while, she found nothing except documents and folders. A pot of ugly cactus was placed on the table. There was nothing she could do but to place the flowers on the table. However, she had chosen yellow and white flowers which made them look like chrysanthemums.

She set the bouquet down and came closer. Her whole face was covered in cosmetics. She gazed at Chu Lui curiously with her exquisitely well-drawn eyebrows. Finally, he turned his eyes in her direction. Nevertheless, he seemed to look through her as he never once gave her his attention.

“Mr. Chu, my name is Li Yangyang. Thank you for saving my life.” The woman’s eyelashes quivered as she hid her palpitation and her fondness for him beneath her eyes. “If it wasn’t for you, I may be...” At this point, the woman’s voice was choked with emotion. She looked small and fragile.

Du Jingtang touched his elbows. Stop it. He was having goosebumps.

“No need.” Chu Lui shifted his attention back to his laptop on his lap.

“But...” The woman bit on her lips. “You saved my life. No matter what, I have to repay you. Maybe I can come and care for you while you were hospitalized?”

Good excuse. Du Jingtang gave a thumbs-up for this woman. She was simply too shameless.

“No need.” Chu Lui rejected her. “I don’t like to be surrounded by women.”

Li Yangyang was relentless. “If you don’t let me take care of you, I will feel bad.” He had saved her. Even if he wasn’t interested in her, he must surely have a good impression of her. She believed that feelings could be cultivated over time. He might not like her after spending time with her, but she was confident she would be able to enslave him with her looks and her methods.

“I said ‘no’.” Chu Lui said again. The muscles on his body began to tense up. Du Jingtang couldn’t stop himself from laughing. That was it for her. His cousin was trying to contain his frustration.

“You can’t.” Li Yangyang refused to give up on such a good opportunity. Just as she was about to open her mouth, a dangerous look appeared in Chu Lui’s narrowed eyes.

“Leave!”

His lips parted as he spat out that word without a care for the other person’s feelings. One word-leave. It almost broke a woman’s pure and fragile heart into bits and pieces.

Li Yangyang stood in shock with her mouth agape. She could believe what Chu Lui had said earlier. He was obviously willing to sacrifice himself to save her life. Why was he chasing her away now?

Leave. Was one supposed to say such a word to a woman?

“Why are you...?”

Li Yangyang covered her mouth as tears kept swirling in her eyes. “You saved me. Why are you treating me like this?”

“I got the wrong person.” Chu Lui’s fingers continued to type on his laptop as he dealt a deadly blow to Li Yangyang. “Otherwise, whether you live or die is none of my concern.”

“You...” Li Yangyang’s hands covered her face as though she had been slapped. It was red with anger.

She covered her face and ran out. As a grown woman, her life hadn’t been smooth-sailing, but she had never been subjected to such humiliation. Today, this man had slapped her on her face, rendering her too shameless to face anyone.

“Have you enjoyed the show?” Chu Lui asked Du Jingtang

Du Jingtang caressed the tip of his nose. How could one have enough of a show? Obviously, he hadn’t. He wanted to continue watching, but the actors must be willing to perform.

Right now, it was a solo act. There were no lines. Nothing

“Brother, did you really save her?” The show had pricked Du Jingtang’s curiosity. With one swift motion, he pulled out a chair and sat down.

“Yes.” Chu Lui caressed his shoulder. “I got the wrong person.”

Du Jingtang was smart enough not to question further. He knew who Chu Lui thought that Li Yangyang or Li Mama was without his cousin saying. Chu Lui thought she was his ex-ex-cousin-in-law, Xia Ruoxin. There was some resemblance between the two women, but Li Yangyang was not the real one.

Chu Lui’s eyes shifted to the bouquet of flowers on the table.

“Get rid of those chrysanthemums. I’m not dead yet.”

Du Jingtang grabbed the bouquet. “I hated the flowers, too. Who would choose such a color combination? It really looked like a bunch of chrysanthemums.” He took the bouquet and left. Then, he tossed it unceremoniously into a trash bin outside. Naturally, he didn’t feel the pinch. It wasn’t bought using his money.

He returned to Chu Lui’s ward. He would make small talk with his cousin or play games on his mobile phone.

Soon, a nurse and the doctor arrived.

“Oh, it’s you.”

Du Jingtang waved his hand at the doctor. They weren’t on familiar terms, but they had seen each other a couple of times.

“Hi, how are you? Where is the little cutie? Is she here?”

Gao Yi returned Du Jingtang’s friendly smile. “She’s at home with her mother. Usually, she’s not allowed to come.”

“What a pity.” Du Jingtang pulled a sullen face. Oh well, he couldn’t meet the little cutie, but her father worked here. His eyes lit up again. As long as her father was here, she would definitely come.

Gao Yi came closer and examined Chu Lui’s wound.

“Mr. Chu, you are not severely injured so you can be discharged anytime.” Gao Yi knew what Chu Lui was up to. However, it was such a waste that his ruse wouldn’t work here.

Chu Lui buttoned his clothes. “Are you worried that I can’t afford to pay for my bills?” His voice was cold with sarcasm.

“No. Mr. Chu’s wealth is more than enough to buy a few of our hospitals.” Gao Yi remained smiling. It was a doctor’s ethics, that’s all. As for Chu Lui, he could stay for as long as he wanted. Gao Yi could care less.

Du Jingtang looked at Chu Lui and then at Gao Yi. Why were both of them behaving weirdly as if they were exchanging verbal blows and sarcasm?
