Chapter 1197: Chapter 1198: The Secret in the Phone
“Family? To be honest, both of us are orphans. We don’t even know who our biological parents are.”
ntioning this topic brought pain to their hearts as it is a hurdle they can never overco.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t know about your background, and I spoke too much.”
“It’s okay. We’ve co to terms with it. We can live well even without parents.” Li Xiangi and Xiaoqing replied.
“Have you ever thought about looking for your biological parents?” Lin Yifan inquired.
“Since they abandoned , why should I disturb their lives? Everyone walks their own path and accepts their fate.” Li Xiangi responded.
It’s not that she was heartless; it’s just that her parents were too cruel, so she couldn’t be blad for being unfeeling.
“Maybe they had unspeakable hardships!”
“I still won’t look for them.”
Li Xiangi and Xiaoqing had very firm attitudes, refusing to bow to their biological parents.
“Alright then!”
Lin Yifan didn’t want to say more because he felt like an observer making cold remarks.
The most painful ones were Li Xiangi and Xiaoqing themselves. The fact that they could co to terms with it was not bad at all.
The atmosphere was extrely awkward. Lin Yifan wanted to say sothing, but didn’t know where to start. It was frustrating.
Then he thought of sothing and asked, “How did that bastard Qin Zikang et you two?”
“One ti we were at a mall, having a al in the food court, and I don’t know how but Qin Zikang suddenly showed up. He insisted on getting Xiangi’s number and wanted to be friends with her, which was so annoying. Since then, he often went to the hospital to harass Xiangi and refused to leave no matter what.” Xiaoqing replied.
ntioning this made her extrely disgusted, and it was precisely because of this that they went to Ulysses for a vacation to relax.
Luckily, they t Lin Yifan in Ulysses, otherwise Qin Zikang would have already succeeded.
“So that’s what happened, huh? It seems that Qin Zikang was really lucky to have bumped into such a beauty.”
Lin Yifan couldn’t help but sigh.
Qin Zikang was a young master of a clan, mostly active in Yanjing, and rarely visited other cities, especially a second-tier city like Shen’an City.
He thought, Qin Zikang might have been tasked by his father, or he got tired of playing in Yanjing and wanted a change of scenery, so he ca to Shen’an City.
“Is Mr. Lin complinting our Xiangi?”
Xiaoqing giggled secretly, it seed Lin Yifan was indeed interested in Li Xiangi. She just didn’t know whether it was because of Li Xiangi’s alluring outfit or her inner character that attracted him.
“What do you think?” Lin Yifan asked back, making his aning quite clear.
Li Xiangi wasn’t lacking in looks, and with a bit of makeup, she looked even more stunning, so how could he not be tempted?
Hearing this response, Li Xiangi felt shy again, embarrassed to look up at the impish Lin Yifan.
Their exchanges were filled with affection, making Xiaoqing hesitant to break the atmosphere.
However, if she didn’t speak, they certainly wouldn’t either, so she reluctantly beca the disruptor.
“Mr. Lin, what about our suitcases? Where did you put them?”
“To be honest, just now when I went to the restroom, I suddenly sensed a bunch of martial artists rushing this way, so I decided to abandon the suitcases, leave the restroom, and get you out of there. The suitcases are probably still in the restroom at Shen’an People’s Hospital.” Lin Yifan answered.
This was actually a lie, but to keep Li Xiangi and Xiaoqing from knowing about the Immortal Ring, he had to say it in good conscience.
Yet, the reason was indeed the reason, and he didn’t lie about that.
“Alas!”
Xiaoqing and Li Xiangi couldn’t help but sigh because the suitcases contained things very precious to them, the kind they absolutely couldn’t lose.
Seeing them sigh, Lin Yifan realized the suitcases held important items for them, so he asked, “Do your suitcases contain sothing very important?”
“Of course, they include photos of Xiangi and from childhood, pictures from various outings, many diaries and notes, holiday souvenirs, and our phones are in there too, which have many… many…”
As Xiaoqing spoke, she didn’t know how to continue.
“Many what?”
Lin Yifan pressed further, genuinely curious as he didn’t want to be regarded as a historical villain.
“Xiaoqing, don’t say it!”
Li Xiangi suddenly rembered sothing very embarrassing and imdiately cautioned Xiaoqing.
These things mustn’t be known to Lin Yifan! Otherwise, she’d be utterly humiliated, and Xiaoqing would also lose her dignity.
Xiaoqing understood the seriousness of the matter, so she didn’t elaborate, simply stating, “Nothing much, just so photos.”
The two girls were secretive, leaving others in the dark about their hidden matters.
“Could it be that there’s sothing unspeakable on their phones? Do they secretly record videos of each other? No way… Are they really that open?”
Lin Yifan dared not think further, as the more he thought, the more inappropriate and unsuitable for minors it beca.
However, this did pique his curiosity, so he decided to open the suitcases tonight to see what was hidden on their phones.
“Ahem!”
With a couple of coughs to break the mood, Lin Yifan earnestly inquired, “You won’t bla for doing this, will you?”
“We can’t bla Mr. Lin; he had no choice but to leave the suitcases behind.” Li Xiangi and Xiaoqing replied.
Lin Yifan wasn’t an all-powerful beast. If he could fly away with them and the two suitcases, that would be Immortal Level; and after all, it was for their safety, so how could they hold him accountable?
Even though they said so, the two girls were still sullen, leaving Lin Yifan with only one option: “How about this, once things settle down, I’ll sneak back and retrieve those suitcases.”
“No, that’s too dangerous.” Li Xiangi was the first to oppose.
Now that Lin Yifan was being hunted by powerful figures, he really shouldn’t show himself in Shen’an City, a place heavily fortified. It’s just waiting for Lin Yifan to take the bait.
“Right! Mr. Lin, let it go. So things will just disperse with the wind. Let it be and go with the flow.”
Xiaoqing didn’t want Lin Yifan to get into trouble; otherwise, it would be unkind of her.
“Alright then. But don’t stay glum.”
Lin Yifan didn’t want to say more because the suitcases were actually with him, perhaps taking them out unexpectedly could surprise the girls.
“Don’t worry, we feel a bit sad now, but it’ll get better with ti!” Li Xiangi and Xiaoqing assured.
Many things are like this—acceptance is key, as life goes on, and the future might be even more wonderful.
Speaking of the suitcases, Xiaoqing thought of the ti Lin Yifan ca to rescue them. There was a big question she hadn’t had the chance to ask during the rush, but now she finally could.
