  Going home——

  Patter

  These two words were like a thunderclap in Lin Meng's mind, and she was stunned!

  Go home!

  She's actually going home!

  It's already time for her to go home!

  She had been eagerly looking forward to it before, how come when it really came to this moment, she still needed someone to remind her!

  "Lin Meng?!" The woman smiled, her slightly raised corners of her mouth carrying a hint of doubt.

  Lin Meng stared blankly at the woman's smiling face, feeling that her current expression must be both ugly and laughable. She had actually forgotten that she was supposed to go home; she had actually forgotten that their contract period was only one week!

  "Are you okay?!"

  The woman's gentle concern only made Lin Meng feel more embarrassed.

  "I... I'm fine!"

  Her face was probably deathly pale, her lips trembling slightly as she spoke out the words that seemed to be blown away by the wind.

  "I...I'm going to wash my face!" she said in an unstable tone, eager to avoid the woman and afraid of being misunderstood or ridiculed. She hastily added: "I...I haven't washed up yet, I...I'll go wash my face!"

  The girl nodded. "You go ahead, take your time, I'll help you pack up first!"

  Lin Meng forced a smile and hastily turned around to run towards the bathroom, slamming the door shut with a loud bang.

  As the "zip" sound was heard, the travel bag was pulled up, Lin Meng knew she had to leave. Her hand trembled slightly, then quickly tightened, grasping the strap of the travel bag. She looked up and casually asked Miao Qing, "Leaving now?"

  Miao Qing nodded, deliberately pretending not to see Lin Meng's reddened eyes, and took the lead in walking out. Lin Meng followed behind her. On the glass coffee table in the living room, a sprig of green with white lilies caught Lin Meng's eye, and her heart ached as she began to walk with difficulty. Wanting to see it, but repeatedly reluctant to turn around and take another look, she finally couldn't help but stop in her tracks just before crossing the living room.

  "Sprouts... sprouts green!"

  The girl stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at her.

  Lin Meng pointed at the lily on the tea table. "I want to take it away!"

  Miao Qing slightly narrowed her eyes.

  "This is... something someone else gave me!"

  The pain in her heart made her not even have the courage to mention that name, afraid that once she said it out loud, she would uncontrollably shed tears of weakness and cowardice in front of this poised and capable woman.

  Miao Qing nodded, "I'll help you carry it!"

  She made a gesture to go and hug that pot of wind chimes orchid, but Lin Meng rushed past her in one swift motion.

  "It's okay, I can do it!"

  She held the potted ling lan with one hand and carried her luggage with the other. Although she looked slender, she still had the strength to carry these things.

  As soon as they stepped out, the hotel staff responsible for cleaning the room were already waiting at the door. The woman in white attire, who seemed to be the leader, nodded at Miao Qing and led a group of people into the room. Lin Meng thought that this luxurious presidential suite would be cleaned spotless in the shortest time possible, so clean that it was as if no one had lived there before, and all traces of her existence would be erased along with it!

  It turned out that what was erased wasn't just the clothes in this travel bag!

  I stumbled out of the elevator and out of the Jade Restaurant's door. A streak of sunset that had broken through the clouds shone over, suddenly feeling dazzling, I couldn't help but squint my eyes, and felt an increasingly sharp stinging pain in my eyes!

  The young man from the hotel quickly brought over Miao Qing's car. Miao Qing took the keys. "Let's go, I'll drive you home!"

  Lin Meng shook her head and slowly took a step back.

  Miao Qing raised an eyebrow.

  Lin Meng forced a smile and said: "Don't bother, I'll take a taxi home myself!"

  Miao Qing furrowed her brow. "Rong Shao has instructed me to send you home, don't make things difficult for me!"

  Lin Meng clenched the travel bag strap in her hand, slightly raised her pointed chin, and looked at Miao Qing, who was half a head taller than her. Her eyes, which seemed to be on the verge of shattering, revealed an unyielding determination that was hard to ignore.

  "Thank you for your kindness, but - I insist on leaving myself, please - don't trouble me!"

  Let him send her away with such a gesture, he might be kind-hearted, but she really can't bear his kindness! She pretended to be strong and didn't want to collapse in front of him.

  Miao Qing looked deeply at Lin Meng, who seemed to be on the verge of collapse, and slowly lowered her eyelids, almost sighing as she whispered, "Alright then!"

  Lin Meng slowly lowered her head. "Thank you!"

  She turned around and took a step forward, slowly leaving the Yu Jin Restaurant behind her.
