Ye Lingyun's expression remained calm on the surface, making it impossible to guess his thoughts.
After a long pause, he looked at Lu Sisi with a skeptical gaze.
"So, you've touched her things?"
"Huh?"
Lu Sisi thought she had misheard.
At this moment, shouldn't Ye Lingyun be considering Tang Xiaomin's depression?
Why was he asking her this instead?
Lu Sisi quickly shook her head.
"No, no, I didn't touch her things. I just accidentally picked up her medicine."
"This... maybe I'm overthinking it. Yun Shao, please don't take it to heart. Just pretend I didn't say anything."
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingyun's gaze towards Lu Sisi became even more contemptuous.
Growing up, he had seen all sorts of women.
He could identify a white lotus like Lu Sisi with just one look.
This was also why he had given Lu Sisi a red card over a piece of clothing.
"What you consider news might already be old news to some people."
Ye Lingyun's words greatly shocked Lu Sisi.
She thought Tang Xiaomin's depression was explosive news, but she hadn't expected Ye Lingyun to already know.
Then, her previous words might have made him think she had ulterior motives.
"Yun Shao, I was just worried about Xiao Min, truly. I had no other intentions."
...
"Actually, she's been looking downcast lately. I had my suspicions, but I never dared to confirm them."
"Today, I accidentally saw her medicine, and I got overly anxious."
"However, she looks quite happy today."
Lu Sisi's gaze fell on Tang Xiaomin, who was playing with Shu Ya and the others in the swimming pool.
She had always been confident in her figure and appearance. But after seeing Tang Xiaomin, she couldn't help but feel inferior.
She was truly a stunner, her figure proportions enough to drive men wild and shame women with jealousy.
Seeing Tang Xiaomin's happy demeanor at the moment, Lu Sisi suddenly thought of a possibility and her eyes widened.
According to Shu Ya and the others, Ye Lingyun had invited them to the resort for a party.
From their conversation earlier, she learned that Ye Lingyun had known about Tang Xiaomin's depression for a long time.
Could it be that he had gone to such lengths to invite so many people and prepare this party all because of Tang Xiaomin!
To make her feel a little happier.
Ye Lingyun remained in his relaxed posture on the chair, like a lost and decadent youth.
He would occasionally glance at the pool or close his eyes to rest.
They had agreed to go swimming, but he never entered the water.
Although Lu Sisi had known for a long time that Ye Lingyun felt differently about Tang Xiaomin.
His current actions were truly a testament to his deep affection.
She had only spoken a few words in Tang Xiaomin's defense when Zhang Guo'er slandered her.
And just for that, she now had the opportunity to speak with Ye Lingyun.
Without Tang Xiaomin, she might never have had the chance to stand beside Ye Lingyun like this.
Everything was thanks to Tang Xiaomin.
Tang Xiaomin would also be her greatest obstacle.
Evening.
Ye Lingyun had even hired a chef to cook delicacies on-site.
However, he didn't seem to be paying attention to Tang Xiaomin.
"Where is Tang Xiaomin?" Ye Lingyun asked.
Shu Ya replied, "She had a bit to drink and went to the beach to get some fresh air to sober up."
Ye Lingyun, feeling a bit uneasy, got up to look for her.
The sun had already set.
Tang Xiaomin sat on the beach, one hand propped behind her, the other twirling a strand of her hair, her gaze fixed on the distance with a blank expression.
Ye Lingyun slowly walked over to Tang Xiaomin.
"Isn't it boring to be sitting here daydreaming alone?"
"Aren't you too?"
Her retort left him speechless. She didn't understand his intentions at all.
"Do you have any plans for the summer vacation?"
"Yes, I plan to rest well at home."
...
Such a plan was utterly unanswerable.
But then again, it was the best plan for Tang Xiaomin's condition.
"I know a top expert in depression who might be able to help you."
"You know about my illness?"
"Yes... I found out during the last trial. I don't think the judge would have been fooled by a false certificate."
