He grabbed her hand, startling Lin Hua, "Jingyao?"
King Jingyao’s voice was raspy: "Let’s go for a late-night snack."
He stood up; Lin Hua was still kneeling there. After a while, she softly spoke, "Do you have sothing on your mind?"
He turned his head, smiled faintly, "No, just too busy."
He said while patting the back of her hand, "Neglecting you is my fault."
He casually pulled her down, and Lin Hua, unsteady, fell into his arms... She was a bit flustered, struggled a bit but couldn’t break free. She looked up, "Jingyao, aren’t we going for a late-night snack?"
King Jingyao’s eyes deepened; he leaned down and murmured at the corner of her mouth, "Mrs. Wang, I’ve changed my mind now."
Lin Hua took a few steps back...

In the early morning, King Jingyao took a shower and looked at Lin Hua before throwing on a coat and heading to the study.
He turned on the study’s light, letting the dim yellow fill the surrounding, not brightening, but calming.
He sat on the sofa, took a cigarette box from the table, lit one, and smoked quietly.
He couldn’t bear to part with Lin Hua; besides not wanting her to leave, he didn’t want her to suffer. Anxi was right; she was now his wife, not soone else’s fiancée.
King Jingyao squinted his eyes, holding a cigarette in one hand while dialing Wang Jingchuan with the other: "Prepare a private jet for ; I’ll go to Italy tomorrow."
On the other side, Wang Jingchuan was sound asleep. He was startled by the boss’s call and a bit puzzled: "What are you going to Italy for?"
"To see Feng Sheng," Old Wang’s voice was calm,
At this, Wang Jingchuan imdiately woke up and after a while, slowly said, "Mr. Wang, it’s not safe there. Besides, it’d be better to let soone else handle this. Otherwise, I fear if things are exposed, it won’t be good for your and your wife’s relationship."
After all, matters concerning life and death are not trivial; if Lin Hua finds out in the future, who knows what she’d think.
King Jingyao spoke hoarsely, "Jingchuan, I understand what you an, but I don’t want her to be troubled right now. At least, I don’t want her to face a broken Feng Sheng. Also, arrange to see if Xichen can go with ."
Wang Jingchuan sat on the bed, with a solemn expression, and nodded: "Alright, I’ll arrange it. There should be no problem with Professor Bo."
King Jingyao hung up the phone and smoked in the study for quite so ti before returning to the bedroom.
Lin Hua had already fallen asleep, her expression peaceful.
He sat beside her, gently stroked her delicate face. He couldn’t imagine what would happen if Feng Sheng hadn’t had an accident. The reality was Feng Sheng did have an accident, and a series of misunderstandings had brought him and Lin Hua together.
He wanted to give her happiness, so he would handle these matters, and she didn’t need to bear so much.
On King Jingyao’s face, there was a firm resolve.
...
Early in the morning, when Lin Hua got up, King Jingyao was no longer at ho.
She changed into a set of house clothes, went downstairs, and casually asked the housekeeper at the dining table, "Did Mr. Wang leave early this morning?"
The housekeeper smiled, "Mr. Wang went on a business trip."
On a business trip?
Lin Hua frowned and then said, ’He didn’t ntion it when he ca back last night.’
"Maybe Mr. Wang forgot to ntion it," the housekeeper smiled.
Actually, what she wanted to say was that Mr. Wang was probably too busy to ntion it. Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang are newlyweds, and their relationship is particularly strong, so it’s normal to lose track of things for a mont...
Lin Hua said nothing more. She quietly had her breakfast, went upstairs to paint for a while, and suddenly wanted to ask when he would return...
(In the afternoon, I had a stomachache from the wind, so I updated one Chapter first. I’ll continue writing and update again at nine and ten o’clock, and there’ll be more updates tomorrow...)
