He was afraid that if he continued to stay, he'd end up crying in front of his precious daughter!
That would be too embarrassing!
It would definitely affect his glorious image in his daughter's heart!
The others had already left.
However, after a while, Xu Man arrived with Lin Rui's clothes and some daily necessities.
She said she wanted to stay with Lin Rui but the latter refused.
Xu Man didn't think much of it because the former owner often threw tantrums out of nowhere too.
She simply told Lin Rui patiently that she would rush over immediately as long as the latter needed something.
She had also said many other things to express her great concern for Lin Rui.
Without even lifting her head, Lin Rui simply answered, "Sure."
Xu Man was speechless.
At a loss for words, Xu Man used her incredible acting chops to force herself to smile gently.
"Lin Rui, I shall get going."
This time, Lin Rui did not raise her head at all.
Xu Man was so angry that she was gritting her teeth hard, but there was nothing she could do.
She had no choice but to turn around and leave in her high heels.
After the silence in the ward was restored, Lin Rui rolled up the sleeves of her patient's gown.
The antique bracelet on her slender wrist was revealed.
The former owner Lin Rui had purchased that bracelet at an auction.
However, it actually belonged to the current Lin Rui!
That was the reason that Lin Rui woke up in the former owner's body after her death.
The pattern on the bracelet was very bizarre, and some parts were stained with blood too.
She reckoned that the blood had gotten onto the bracelet when the former owner got into the car accident.
When Lin Rui was on the operating table, the doctors actually wanted to remove the bracelet.
However, for some reason, they couldn't remove the bracelet at all.
Since the more urgent thing to do was to save her life, they decided to forget about it.
Lin Rui stroked the bracelet very gently.
She could feel the affectionate aura of the bracelet, as if it was responding to her.
Lin Rui's gaze became extremely gentle too.
After muttering something, her surroundings spun.
By the time Lin Rui opened her eyes again, she realized that she was no longer in the ward.
She had arrived at a whole new space!
This space was a little dark, and it was surrounded by grassland, which seemed rather barren.
There was a bamboo building near her and a spring in front of it. There was a beautiful little boy who seemed to have walked out of the painting, next to the spring.
The boy, who was about six or seven years old, had short black hair and golden eyes. He was also wearing a small white robe with silver stripes and was seated barefooted on the grass, fishing in boredom.
However, there was no fish in the spring.
The boy was stunned the moment Lin Rui appeared.
In the next moment, he exclaimed and darted towards Lin Rui like a small cannonball.
Lin Rui's current body was much worse than the one she used to have.
Besides, she had just experienced a serious car accident and was thus extremely feeble.
After the little boy bumped into her, Lin Rui fell onto the ground with her buttocks landing first.
However, the boy had already burst into tears and begun howling.
"Master, you've finally woken up! It's been almost a thousand years, and I finally get to see you again!" Qi Bao sobbed.
Qi Bao was originally the pawn of Buddha who had manifested after being purified by the light of Buddha for tens of thousands of years.
Later, by coincidence, he was saved by Lin Rui who had gone down to the mountain for training. They then signed a master-servant contract with each other.
Although they were master and servant, they seemed to have become closer than family after spending a long period of time with each other.
In order to stay with Lin Rui forever, Qi Bao turned himself into the form of an ancient bracelet.
The ancient bracelet turned into Qi Bao's main body, and the child in front of Lin Rui was Qi Bao's spirit.
Lin Rui was in pain after Qi Bao knocked into her.
However, the pain seemed to have disappeared amidst Qi Bao's aggrieved weeping.
She missed him dearly.
"Qi Bao, have I been in a coma for a thousand years?"
