Everyone has their own principles and certain bottom lines in life.
Now that Xiaofan's principles have been broken, facing it helplessly, Xiaofan can only let things go as they are.
Old Mrs. Ren's persistence is indeed sothing Xiaofan cannot understand, but this is indeed what he owes to the Ren Family, owes to Ren Zhongtian.
If it weren't for him detoxifying the Black Scorpion's poison back then, I would have long turned into a pile of white bones. Everything is relative; without the life-saving grace from before, there would be no eting with the Ren family today. Nor would there be this relationship with Ren Ling, not knowing if it's good or evil.
At this mont, Ren Ling's soft long hair draped over her body, with delicate features and flawless, slightly petite lips. Her eyes contained a clear arc of water, carrying a trace of faint lancholy, as if holding unresolved thoughts of a millennium.
If last night Xiaofan fell into an unclear state, then tonight, he is sober. Facing the sober Xiaofan, even the always free-spirited Ren Ling couldn't help but feel the temperature of her body slowly rising.
"Ren Ling..."
"Ah?" Hearing Xiaofan softly calling her na, Ren Ling was startled, not daring to look Xiaofan in the eyes,
This is the first ti Xiaofan has done such a thing. At least, in his mory, this is the first ti.
In the past, he could naturally enter that state with Shen Zuimo, but now with the unfamiliar Ren Ling, it still feels that awkward.
Xiaofan treated Ren Ling as gently as possible. Last night, because of his recklessness, he surely made her unhappy. If such things are indeed going to happen, he can only strive to do better.
This is also why Xiaofan was unwilling to light the Dragon Scale Fragrance again.
The next day. The sa bright sunshine.
Looking at the lovely person sleeping soundly in his arms, Xiaofan slowly got up. Today was the day he planned to leave.
He is not cold-blooded nor heartless. Ren Ling's appearance indeed disrupted Xiaofan's life's rhythm. However, this matter indeed touched Xiaofan's bottom line that Old Mrs. Ren crossed.
Though feeling sorry for Ren Ling sowhat, he knows he cannot stay here for now.
Xiaofan knew, regardless of his original intent, whether being forced or helpless, he had already incurred a love debt to Ren Ling. It's likely sothing he won't easily forget his entire life.
Yet, he couldn't let go of Shen Zuimo. Things must reach a resolution at so point.
'Rattle.'
A soft small hand suddenly clutched Xiaofan's clothes corner, it was her. It seed she felt the temperature beside her suddenly drop, hence she woke up quietly.
"Are you leaving?"
"Mm."
"Hey."
"Ah?"
"Kiss before you go."
Turning around, Xiaofan looked at that small, lovely face, slightly bent down, and gave those cherry-like lips a deep kiss.
After separating, Xiaofan's expression was sowhat gloomy, turned around, and walked away.
"Hey, Ye Xiaofan."
"Mm."
"Make sure you co back alive."
"Mm."
Different people have different ways of expressing love. In such a situation, Ren Ling must face it, yet being able to choose Xiaofan, she feels no regret. Then next, it's ti to revive the Ren family's reputation.
Touching the sheets, they still retained the warmth of that boy. It turns out, if just a little gentler and lighter from the start, it doesn't hurt at all.
"Leaving so soon?"
Seeing Xiaofan coming straight down from upstairs, Mrs. Ren casually inquired.
"Mm."
"Have so breakfast before you leave," Mrs. Ren continued.
"No, I have things to deal with," Xiaofan, having changed back into his clothes from before, was looking for his shoes to put on.
"Then, at least light a stick of incense for Ren Ling's grandfather before you go."
Upon hearing this, Xiaofan's movents suddenly paused. He slightly raised his head, then responded with a soft 'mm.'
Ren Zhongtian's morial tablet was placed in his previous room. Although he barely lived here for a few days in a year.
Holding three incense sticks, Xiaofan bowed three tis in front of Ren Zhongtian's morial tablet and then placed the incense into the incense burner.
"From the look on your face, it seems you are still brooding over this matter," Mrs. Ren sighed as she asked Xiaofan.
"I'm not exactly brooding but still find it hard to release. Objectively speaking, Old Mrs. Ren's actions are beyond reproach. However, from my perspective, the generational gap between us is insurmountable. But since it's already happened, I can only accept it."
"Well said, only to accept. I know you're very unwilling. Your temperant is no different from when your grandfather was young. Go on, do what you want to do, if there's a chance in the future, co back and light incense for Ren Ling's grandfather. Also, our agreent is not over yet; if, five years later, you are still alive, regardless of whether you're married or not, co back and have a son with Ren Ling to inherit the Ren family's business."
"If I'm still alive by then, we'll talk about it." Shaking his head with a bitter smile, Xiaofan thought how impossible it is to consider sothing so far away, as in five years from now.
