"Why? What secrets are there that even I can't know?" Zhou Jiajia was angry.

She was Lin Yifan's most beloved girlfriend, akin to his closest kin, and she didn't understand why Lin Yifan couldn't trust her.

"I was afraid that if you knew, you would get angry and try to harm yourself again; and now that I am old and frail, I might not have the strength to stop you; so I was afraid that you might leave this world before me," Lin Yifan replied truthfully.

"Yifan! Do you have another woman outside?" Zhou Jiajia was shocked again, unaware of how many women Lin Yifan had secretly been involved with.

"Jiajia, I'm sorry, I've lied to you," Lin Yifan said, his eyes filled with tears and brimming with guilt.

Here, the person he most owed an apology to was this beloved woman who devotedly loved and took care of him. If it was possible to make amends, he would be willing to sacrifice his life.

"Why did you need to find so many women? Are all your honesty and vows just pretense and sweet talk?" Zhou Jiajia asked angrily.

Even though she knew Lin Yifan was weak now, she couldn't help but feel angry.

"If you hadn't confessed to me, my girlfriend now might have been her. I promised to wait for her, but I broke my word, just like how I kept you in the dark while I was with her. I know I am a bastard, and I shouldn't even be alive!" Lin Yifan finally bared his heart.

He felt that he couldn't live much longer, so he simply spoke out, maybe then he could earn Zhou Jiajia's forgiveness.

"No!!! You can't die! If you die, what am I supposed to do?" Zhou Jiajia sobbed.

At that moment, she was genuinely afraid that Lin Yifan, out of guilt, might consider ending his life. Although she deeply resented Lin Yifan, she still wanted to spend the rest of her life with him.

"If I really am gone, you must go on living well, and not leave any regrets in life," Lin Yifan advised.

He didn't know if he could survive this ordeal; so he had to sort out some matters in advance.

"Yifan, you won't have any problems; you have to believe that you can survive, okay? Don't give up so easily," Zhou Jiajia comforted and encouraged him.

Right now, the biggest problem for Lin Yifan was likely his mindset; thus, she needed to encourage Lin Yifan to bravely keep living.

"I promise you, I will try my best," Lin Yifan responded.

Actually, no one wanted to live more than he did; because he'd remained chaste all these years, he had still not lost his virginity, and he couldn't leave behind such a huge regret.

"Yifan, before I lose my rationality, tell me honestly now, how many other women do you have outside?" Zhou Jiajia wanted to resolve it once and for all; she couldn't bear dragging this on any longer, otherwise, she would really break down.

"If An Qi doesn't count, then there are two others," Lin Yifan replied truthfully.

Hearing this number, Zhou Jiajia breathed a sigh of relief; she had thought there were many more. It seemed Yifan wasn't the type to fall for every attractive temptress he saw.

Regaining her composure, she asked, "One is Nurse Li from the hospital, who's the other? It isn't the married Madame Su, is it?"

She felt Su Qingqing's approach toward her must have had a purpose, a purpose possibly instigated by Lin Yifan to gain her approval.

"You knew about Nurse Li being my girlfriend?" Lin Yifan was surprised.

He felt that during the time he had been unconscious, a lot must have happened.

"Hmm! You can't hide fire with paper; the hospital is too small a place, hard not to run into her," Zhou Jiajia nodded in response.

"Jiajia, I'm sorry, this love affair was also not something I foresaw. It just happened out of confusion and bumbling," Lin Yifan apologized and explained.

"As long as you haven't committed a grave mistake, there is still room for redemption; she has already decided to leave you," Zhou Jiajia replied.

"It's better if she leaves me; at least it won't be so painful later," Lin Yifan murmured to himself, then asked, "She must hate me to death, right?"

"I don't know how much she hates you, I only know how much she loves you," Zhou Jiajia replied.

From the incident of saving Lin Yifan, one could see that Li Xiangmei really loved Lin Yifan.

"How so?" Lin Yifan asked.

"When I and a nurse named Xiao Qing started arguing..." Zhou Jiajia told Lin Yifan about everything that happened when she brought Yifan to the hospital for treatment.

After hearing Zhou Jiajia's story, Lin Yifan's guilt deepened; initially, he should not have accepted such an unclear love affair which only led to mutual destruction, what was the point?

He sighed, then slowly began to speak, "Can you arrange for her to meet me one more time? I want to tell her the whole story!"

"Sure!"

"Thank you!"

"We don't need to be so formal with each other," Zhou Jiajia said, then asked, "You haven't answered my earlier question. Is the other woman Madame Su who is married?"

"Yes, it is her! But, she isn't a married woman; also, Xiao Lian is actually my younger sister," Lin Yifan answered.

"Xiao Lian is your sister! Then why did you act like you didn't know her at the hotel?" Zhou Jiajia curiously asked, finding it too strange.

"I hadn't seen her for ten years, and both of us have changed a lot in appearance; so at that time, I didn't know she was my sister. Later, it was only through names, family address, etc., that I confirmed our relationship," Lin Yifan answered.

"Oh! I see," Zhou Jiajia realized.

"Madame Su's company is yours, right?" Zhou Jiajia asked.

A young woman becoming the general manager of a publicly listed company naturally aroused suspicion; coupled with the fact that Lin Yifan could easily lend her billions without a second thought, she had to suspect that the company was Lin Yifan's.

"Yes, it's mine! I wrested it from the hands of Zhao Ritian," Lin Yifan admitted; now there was no need to hide anymore.

"What do you want me to do?" Zhou Jiajia asked.

"If you can accept it, then I want it; if you can't, then I don't want it, I'll listen to you," Lin Yifan answered, then muttered under his breath, "Qingqing has been managing the company for me during this time, and her first goal was to make enough money, fifty billion, so that I would have the means to marry you."

This meaningful statement revealed his true feelings. On the surface, he said he would listen to Zhou Jiajia, but in reality, he wanted Zhou Jiajia to accept Su Qingqing.

"So old and still playing such emotional tricks, it seems you really like her," Zhou Jiajia pressed.

"She has given up too much for me; and to be with me, she was willing to be your maid; tell me, should I let her down?" Lin Yifan counter-questioned.

"Since she wants to be my maid, then fine, I will let her be!" Zhou Jiajia laughed sinisterly.
