However, rembering the years of relationship, Lin Shichang, before leaving, pulled three bills from his wallet and asked the security to give them to Li Lihua, and then drove towards the mountain with Lin ngchen. This ti, no one stopped them.
Thrown out of the car and restrained by the security guards, Li Lihua watched Lin Shichang and Lin ngchen’s figures disappear determinately, plunging herself into an infinite frenzy. She no longer cared about her ssy hair and shouted curses loudly toward the mountain top, only stopping when she grew tired.
"Since you don’t care about our relationship and won’t let live well, I won’t let you live well either. If we die, we die together. I won’t let you live in this villa if I can’t, let’s see who outplays the other." Li Lihua shouted, forcing her voice, which made her expression look awkward.
Eventually, Li Lihua walked down the mountain alone, step by step. Even though she had the three hundred yuan that Lin Shichang flung at her, she couldn’t get a taxi at Kangshi Mountain, so she could only tread barefoot on the gravel-filled road toward the mountain’s base. By the ti she returned to her previous ho, it was already bright, and her feet were so battered that even a slight touch would cause unbearable pain.
anwhile, after instructing the security guards firmly not to let Li Lihua in, Xu Ke hung up the phone. Turning his head, he found Lin ngyao staring straight at him. Xu Ke shifted his body using his still sowhat uninjured leg to get a bit closer, then asked warmly, "What’s wrong? You’ve been looking at ."
"With such serious injuries, who knows when you’ll heal. If you hadn’t co over at that ti, would you have been hurt so badly?" Lin ngyao said, eyes cast down and face unreadable.
"Yaoyao, you must have heard that these people ca for , it had nothing to do with you. You were implicated by because I didn’t protect you. If I had realized sooner, you wouldn’t have gotten into trouble." Xu Ke tentatively touched Lin ngyao’s face, and seeing she didn’t flinch, he placed the rest of his fingers there as well.
"Who could have thought that the mole was my mom?" Lin ngyao sneered and then continued, "But Xu Ke, I don’t know what you’re doing now, but promise not to do such dangerous things anymore, okay? If what happened today happens again, I really won’t be able to bear it." Lin ngyao bit her lower lip, her eyes shimring with tears as she looked at Xu Ke.
"Okay." Xu Ke gently touched the slightly reddened corner of Lin ngyao’s eyes, feeling a mix of sweetness and bitterness in his heart. Once involved in so matters, it’s not sothing he can just retreat from at will. This is just one Bai Feng Gang in Luocheng; killing his family and forcing him into exile might involve an even more colossal entity. If one day he faces them head-on, what will Lin ngyao do?
A flash of crisis appeared in Xu Ke’s eyes as he silently made plans in his heart.
The flash in Xu Ke’s eyes was so brief that Lin ngyao didn’t catch it, but hearing his firm promise, a weight fell from her heart.
"Yaoyao, because of , you were implicated today. Do you resent ?" Xu Ke, not wanting any barriers between himself and Lin ngyao’s heart, took advantage of the recent atmosphere to ask the question he most wanted to know.
"No." Lin ngyao shook her head and whispered, "You’ve given so much, and since I want to enjoy it, I naturally have to give sothing in return. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be fair to you. So I won’t resent you for anything. No matter what the future holds, I’m prepared to face it with you."
"Yaoyao." Lin ngyao’s voice was soft but very firm.
And Xu Ke’s expression was completely stunned by Lin ngyao’s words. He had never imagined he’d receive this unexpected joy, so he couldn’t hide the happiness on his face, and even his eyes glead slightly, making him look like an inexperienced young man.
"Yaoyao, I, do you an what I think you do?" Xu Ke looked into Lin ngyao’s eyes, cautiously asking, afraid that everything just now was his illusion.
"I don’t know what you’re thinking. I’m going to sleep." Earlier, Lin ngyao didn’t know how she blurted out her true feelings, but now she couldn’t say it again. Face flushed, she imdiately avoided Xu Ke’s gaze, hid her face in the blanket, and spoke muffledly.
"I heard you. You said you like too and want to live a good life with ." Xu Ke blinked with gleaming eyes full of laughter, boasting smugly.
"I didn’t say that. Stop improvising, get so sleep with your whole body injured." Lin ngyao gave Xu Ke a non-threatening glare and, after speaking fiercely, burrowed back into the blanket like a cute little hamster.
"Okay, whatever you say, little housekeeper." Xu Ke chuckled and, when Lin ngyao turned to hit him, quickly buried himself in the blanket, mimicking her move.
At this mont, the two adults seed like children who had just fallen in love, their hearts nervous yet brimming with joy.
Both thought they might not sleep tonight, yet each fell asleep quickly and woke up the next day full of energy, showing no signs of their injuries.
Because the injuries were on his face and since Xu Ke was seriously wounded, Lin ngyao wanted to take care of him, so she asked for a month’s leave from her company and was scolded by her grandmother.
"Once your injuries heal, I’ll open a company for you. That way, you won’t have to worry about others’ attitudes when taking a break." Xu Ke said, looking at Lin ngyao with concern.
Ever since Xu Ke took out the Black Card, Lin ngyao had known he wasn’t simple, so she wasn’t surprised by his suggestion. She calmly replied, "I’ve been taking too much ti off recently. It’s right for Grandma to scold . I appreciate your offer, but I don’t plan to start my own business yet. When my grandfather passed away, he wanted Lin Corp to flourish under my leadership, and I promised him. So, unless I have no other choice, I won’t leave Lin Corp."
"Alright, if you need my help, don’t suppress it — tell imdiately." Understanding Lin ngyao’s stubbornness, Xu Ke stopped persuading her further and changed the subject.
