For a while, a trace of helplessness emerged in the bottom of his eyes.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In fact, he had noticed Ji Ling long ago, so he was able to come over in time to stop him, but because of that⌠he could tell at a glance that Ji Ling didnât actually have the intention of hurting anyone. Ji Lingâs whip avoided the other partyâs vitals, and the movement was not fast enough or hard enough, and could easily be stopped by those around himâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He has seen too many people, and a man who was truly vicious, who treated people like dirt, didnât look like this, didnât have eyes like this⌠In the teenagerâs eyes, the bright provocation was clearly aimed at him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In the final analysis, this kind of trouble was just to attract his and Jing Suiâs attention, and the essence was not to hurt others.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Itâs like a kitten with teeth and claws, it looks fierce, but in fact, if you look closely, you can see that itâs just a bluff.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling had been waiting for the rumored most iron-faced and cold-hearted marshal to open his mouth to punish him, but after waiting for a long time, he saw Brandon looking at him with a complicated expression without saying anything, and sighed softly with a look of pampering and helplessness.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling: ?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Big brother, are you kidding me? Whatâs wrong with you? I have done so much, can you at least show me something?!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">At this moment, Jing Sui also came slowly.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He knew that Brandon was enough to stop Ji Ling and wouldnât put Ji Ling in an awkward position, so his footsteps were unhurried.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">What Brandon could see, he could naturally understand. The teenager had just quietly glanced at himself before making his move, really⌠there was nothing to be done <i>ah</i>, he only made a fuss once yesterday.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Just wonât stay honest for a while.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling also felt that something was wrong when he saw Jing Suiâs expression, and thought to himself, âOh no, have I not acted wickedly enough? But he really canât do anything more excessive <i>ah</i>!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling tugged hard on the whip in his hand, but couldnât pull it, so he simply let go and threw it away, glaring at him and saying, âWhat do you want!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As a result, before Ji Ling could continue to look for an opportunity, Jing Sui directly reached out and hugged him, turning around and leaving the place in large strides!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although he knew that the teenager had no bad intentions, the teenagerâs behavior just now still caused public anger, and continuing to stay would make him the target of public criticism. There were some things that had to be said separately from here, and he believed that Brandon could take care of the rest.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling didnât expect Jing Sui to pick himself up and leave without saying a word, and he immediately struggled, but his strength was like a grasshopper shaking a tree in front of Jing Sui. His face turned red and he didnât manage to push away the slightest!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui took him directly to his room, hearing the sound of the metal door automatically closing behind him, before letting go and releasing Ji Ling.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Lingâs hair was a little messy because of the struggle, and he staggered back a step to look at Jing Sui.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The slender and tall man in front of him, at the moment, his handsome face was tightly tensed, seemingly enveloped in a layer of frost, his thin lips pursed into a straight line. Ji Ling remembered that he had just taken himself away almost rudely, and he was stunned for a moment, and finally a trace of surprise finally surfaced in the bottom of his heart!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He had to make persistent efforts, continuing to make trouble unreasonable and striving to break Jing Suiâs illusions about himself once and for all, letting him see his true nature!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling immediately raised his chin, his eyes turned red, and he said to Jing Sui in dissatisfaction, âYour Majesty stopped me for the sake of a commoner, I see that you donât care about me at all! You coaxed me before to fool me right!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui looked at the teeangerâs angry eyes⌠so, this kid is really still blaming himself <i>ah</i>.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He stepped forward.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling subconsciously took a step back, then before he could react, Jing Sui suddenly reached out and grabbed his waist, and gently took him into his arms, warm breathing brushed the side of his ear, and a deep voice fell into his ear. âIâm sorry, itâs me who neglected youâŚâ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling: ???</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He raised his head in a daze, and from an extremely close distance, he met Jing Suiâs eyes, and could clearly see the gentleness that gradually surfaced in those golden pupils.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui lifted Ji Lingâs chin with one hand, and a helpless smile appeared on his lips. âIâve been too busy lately, I didnât mean to leave you out in the cold. Donât be angry, Iâll be heartbroken if youâre angry.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling came from heaven to hell in an instant, his eyes showed a look of despair, and his hands trembled with anger.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">So I just risked my life and tossed for a long time, and you didnât get angry at all, instead thought it was because you neglected me and thought I was showing a little temper with you?!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">What about the cold-faced and selfless Emperor? What about the Emperor who cares most about the rights and interests of the commoners? Anyway, you are also an actor who belongs to the decent camp <i>ah</i>! Itâs not like itâs a deranged villain like Carlos who has no sense of perspective.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Youâre actually afraid Iâm going to get angry in the face of a dandy like me who beats up and kills commoners for no reason?!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling said angrily, âWho cares about that! Iâm blaming that untouchable for looking at me that rudely!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui said dotingly, âOkay, okay, right, right.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling: â...â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui hugged the boy tightly, and when he got close to him like this, he found that the boy's body was so delicate that it seemed like it could be broken with a little force⌠but under such a thin body, there was a firm and persistent heart, which loved himself like a moth to the fire, and would rather give his life for himself.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">I understand all this clearly, so how can I ignore your heart again because of your stubborn pretense?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">And this child clearly cares about himself, otherwise why bother making such nonsense, after all, he just refuses to admit it because he has a thin face.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The bottom of Jing Suiâs heart seemed to be slowly softened by something.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He touched the teenagerâs hair, lowered his eyes to him, giving a playful, light laugh. âI know Iâm wrong, what will it take for you to forgive me? As long as you say⌠I promise to do it, okay?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling looked at Jing Suiâs gentle and doting look, and his heart completely collapsed.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Iâm so vicious, why arenât you angry <i>ah</i>!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He couldnât wait to shake Jing Suiâs collar, please big brother, wash your eyes <i>ah</i>, itâs not a filter anymore, youâre short sighted⌠no, youâre blind! Which eye of yours can see that Iâm trying to get your attention <i>ah</i>⌠wait, I did get your attention on purpose, but I just wanted you to see how vicious I am, not to get you to come over and coax me <i>ah</i>!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Youâre really going about this the wrong way <i>ah</i>!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui looked at the teenagerâs dazed eyes, but his heart was soft.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He stared at the teenagerâs red lips, so sweet and seductive. At this moment he was in his arms, Jing Sui sniffed the fresh scent on the side of the teenagerâs neck, and couldnât help but think of that night, the kiss that had passed by in a single mistake, and some strange longing rose in his heart againâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling was originally devastated and angry. He didnât want to speak at all, but he watched Jing Suiâs eye staring at him suddenly darkened, a bit like that night⌠His body froze, his scalp tingling with the premonition of danger that came instantly.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The next moment, Ji Ling fiercely stretched out his hand and gave Jing Sui a push, averted his eyes and said, âForget it, I forgive youâŚâ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui was slightly stunned, looking at the teenagerâs blushing side profile, for a long time⌠The lust in his eyes dissipated, leaving only helplessness and doting. This child was really just hard-mouthed, he was so fierce before, and he forgave himself without mentioning anything.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">And that he wasnât doing it for himself.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling bit his lower lip, didnât dare to look at Jing Sui at all and whispered, âYou.. why donât you let go of me. I wonât make trouble.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In order to protect his first kiss, Ji Ling âhumiliatedâ himself by making a compromise!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The corners of Jing Suiâs lips rose slightly. Although he was a bit reluctant, he let go of his hand.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Speaking of which, he used to dislike this arrogant and domineering teenager very much and he thought this teenager was ignorant and annoying, but now⌠watching him dangling in front of himself like this, making all kinds of messes to get his attention, he canât get tired of it at all.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Itâs like looking at a beloved kitten, messing up the house in order to get his attention⌠Itâs because he cares that heâs acting this way⌠If he doesnât care about him, why is he doing this?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As long as Jing Sui thinks of this, he canât be angry at all, but instead feeling sweet in his heart, he wants to tease more and more, wanting to see what else he can do for himself. Even the appearance of being jealous of himself is so cuteâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Suiâs deep golden eyes were filled with shallow gentleness, he raised his hand and rubbed Ji Lingâs head, saying, âWhen this period of time is over, Iâll accompany you properly. During this period of time, youâll just obediently stay at the base, okay?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In fact, if he hadnât been worried about the teenager being hurt by other peopleâs criticism, he wouldnât want to stop him from doing anything at all, he just wanted to see him more wanton. But peopleâs talk was terrible, there were some things that he couldnât control even as an Emperor, and he didnât want his teenager to get hurt.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The teenager was too innocent to bear those dark things.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling was afraid that Jing Sui would come again, and remembered that the Emperorâs brain circuit was different now, so he didnât dare to make trouble anymore, he had to say sullenly, âI know.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui was satisfied, and let Ji Ling leave as he looked at the teenager hastily departing back and pressing the upturned corners of his mouth.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âŚâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling was a little discouraged by the continuous failure to seek death. He felt that he had done even the most vicious thing, and he didnât know what else he could do, so he locked himself in the room all day long, and he was depressed.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">One day, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded outside.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling was stunned for a moment, and then realized that it should be the attack of the Zerg Queen. In previous life, there was a hidden Zerg Queen who attacked the base, causing Brandon to be in danger, but this time both of them were reborn, and there would definitely be no danger.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling relaxed his heart.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was dark outside, the âboomâ sound was deafening. Ji Ling could not rest at all, although he had already experienced it once, but it was still uneasy to experience it again, and in the end he really couldnât hold back his curiosity, and quietly pushed open the door, ready to go out to see what was going on.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The building he was in was empty, and he hadnât run into a single person on the road. The soldiers should have all gone out to the battle.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling walked out along the metal corridor, which seemed to be at the tail end of the battle outside, and carefully peeked his head out of the corridor to look outside.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As a result, suddenly a huge Zerg corpse fell from above him, the ugly monster was splashed with blood, and the corpse just landed at Ji Lingâs feet. It was probably not dead yet, twitching a little bit to show his teeth at Ji Ling, revealing his hideous fangs, sticky blood splashed on his pantsâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ahhhh, this Lao Tzu almost got smashed to death <i>ah</i>!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling sat down on his butt in fear, his face was white and he couldnât stop trembling, shit⌠Sure enough, I shouldnât have come out because I couldnât see it!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Curiosity kills the act <i>ah</i>!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon had just teamed up with Jing Sui to kill all the two Zerg Queens, and was cleaning up the aftermath at the base to clear some of the Zergâs slipping through the net, when he happened to see the teenager cautiously peeking his head out of the corridor. His face paled with fear by the Zerg corpses that had smashed down in front of him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandonâs eyes froze, he jumped down from the mecha and fell to the ground with a bang, and without hesitation, he stepped forward and helped the frightened boy up from the ground, hugged his slightly trembling body, patted his back gently and said, âItâs okay, itâs okayâŚâ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He could feel the boyâs fear, his arm was tightly grasped by the boy and the boy was clearly so weak at the moment.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But what Brandon remembered was the scene of the previous life, when the boy drove a mecha and broke a bloody path among countless Zergs and came for him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">How can a person who is truly greedy for life and afraid of death have such courage?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The teenager seemed to be weak, but at a critical moment, he could burst out with such unnecessary courage, even put life and death out of the way, which was something that many people couldn't do.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But in this life, Iâd rather you never have that kind of courage again, and never have another day when you have to give that kind of effort⌠you just need to be protected as you are now.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Because I want to protect you, not because you saved me, but simply because⌠I want to protect you.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In Brandonâs gray pupils, his expression was complex and gentle, and there seemed to be some unfamiliar emotions surging in his chest. He tried his best to keep his voice low, not to frighten the terrified teenager, and said slowly, âDonât be afraid, I will protect you.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling was indeed frightened just now, and was hugged into Brandonâs arms in shock. At this moment, hearing such gentle words from Brandon, his body stiffened slightly for a moment.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Iâm so timid like a rat, greedy for life and afraid of death⌠what are you comforting about <i>ah</i>?

The light in his golden eyes was cold as he glanced at him thoughtfully, and said in a deep voice, âThe east side still needs to be cleaned up, you go there, just leave this place to me.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">However, this time, Brandon didnât respond immediately, looking directly into Jing Suiâs eyes, and there seemed to be some momentary stagnation in the air.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui looked at Brandon with a slightly gloomy look in his eyes, cold and firm.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After a while, Brandon slowly let go of his hand, he glanced at Ji Ling with a deep affection, and then turned around and left without hesitation.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although I donât want to let go, but⌠what Ji Ling needs is Jing Sui.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">There has always been only Jing Sui.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This, from his previous life, he has been clear about it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui watched Brandon leave, and then walked up to Ji Ling step by step, gently hugged him, and sent him back to his room.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling obediently stayed in Jing Suiâs arms, because he had been âfrightenedâ by Jing Sui several times before, and he didnât dare to move. He was carefully put on the bed by Jing Sui, and then he saw Jing Sui sitting on the edge of his bed, and said softly, âScared, right?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Itâs a fact⌠Iâm a coward myself!

Ji Ling nodded with a pale face.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Suiâs eyes fluctuated, remembering the danger just now, his heart sank slightly, and he sighed. âI told you to stay here obediently.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling pursed his lips, looked away and didnât speak.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui showed a look of helplessness, he was reluctant to blame the teenager at all, he was really worried about him just now⌠His teenager was so fragile that he couldnât afford to be in any danger at all.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Fragile enough to withstand Carlosâs casual blow, and he died in his arms like that.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui closed his eyes and hid the look of pain in his eyes.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In those countless nights, the lingering regret and pain resurfaced again, and he had a lot of things that he didnât have time to say to him, a lot of things he didnât have time to share with him, and he didnât even have time to be kind to him⌠At that time, he always thought that he would never have a chance to make amendsâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Because people like him donât deserve salvation.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After a long time, Jing Sui stretched out his hand, gently covered Ji Ling with a quilt, and looked at him deeply. âSleep, itâs over.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This time, Iâm here to protect you.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Never again will I allow anyone to hurt you.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âŚâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui waited until Ji Ling fell asleep before gently closing the door and leaving. He walked outside. The battlefield had already been cleaned up, this steel base was silent in the darkness of the night, with only the smell of blood remaining in the air signaling that there had been a brutal battle here.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The red-haired and gray-eyed man stood at the door, he looked like a guard, and he didnât know how long he had been standing there, looking up to reveal a cold face, looking at him fixedly.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui said lightly, âYou are waiting for me.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon stared at Jing Sui, the golden pupils on his handsome face were as cold as ever, giving no indication of emotions, and never seemed to take anything to heart.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">So this time, do you really put Ji Ling in your heart again?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Or is it just because of the guilt from the previous life?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandonâs hand hanging at his side clenched slowly.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">And why, as long as I recall the scene of Ji Ling being held in Jing Suiâs arms, the scene of Ji Ling looking at Jing Sui with loving eyes⌠as long as I think of all this, there seems to be some kind of sour emotion flowing in my heart.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This kind of emotion, even in his previous life when Ning Yu and Jing Sui were together, he didnât feel it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Is this kind of emotion the so-called jealousy?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It turns out that I will be jealous too <i>ah</i>âŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jealous that Jing Sui can have the love of the teenager and everything about the teenager, but he can only let go of his hand again and again, watching the teenager leave again and again, not even qualified to approach.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon took a deep breath, he looked at Jing Suiâs eyes, muffled his voice, and said word by word, âIf you arenât sincere to him, and itâs only because of guilt, donât continue to approach him like this⌠heâll get hurt.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui narrowed his eyes slightly, and his sharp gaze fell on Brandonâs face.

It was two completely different worlds from the prosperous, extravagant, and stable Emperor Star.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Because the distance was too far, the starship must go through many space jumps to reach the Nado Galaxy. Although Ji Ling was ready to show off his skills, he only had a C-class physique, so he could only stay in his dormant chamber during the space jump, and could only come out after arriving.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ten days later, two huge starships finally appeared in the main star of the Nado Galaxyââ the sky above Field Star.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The leader of the local garrison, Admiral Toka, was very happy to see the arrival of the starships. This time, because of the presence of the Zerg Queen, they had a very hard time resisting, they had been waiting for reinforcements to arrive, and now, with the presence of His Majesty and the Marshal, they thought that the battle could be over soon.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling was on Brandonâs starship, while Jing Sui had his own separate Imperial starship, so they didnât meet on the way.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon and Jing Sui were busy with business as soon as they arrived, so no one paid attention to Ji Ling for a while.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling crawled out of the dormant chamber, retched a few times, and stood up dizzily with the help of the servant, which was really not very comfortable.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In order to be able to reach the Nado Galaxy as quickly as possible, the army was constantly making jumps along the way, without stopping for a moment, and the distance was very long each time. This kind of continuous space leap of intensity was really a big burden for the physique of a low-level evolutionary like Ji Ling.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although the other soldiers might not all be high-level evolutionaries, and some might even be inferior to Ji Ling, they were after all trained soldiers who had experienced a hundred battles, and their ability to adapt far surpassed Ji Lingâs.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In the endââ Young Master Ji was indeed a delicate person.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But this could not stop Ji Lingâs fighting spirit! He rested in his room for a while, recovered some physical strength and spirit, and began to go out for a walk, looking for opportunities to âperformâ.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">At this moment, the entire Field Star Base was in a strict state of preparation, no one paid attention to Ji Ling at all, and there were soldiers in a hurry around him, all with solemn expressions.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">To be honest, for a teenager who had the code of conduct of Chinaâs socialist spiritual civilization, Ji Ling was very reluctant to cause trouble to others at this moment, which made him feel very uneasy and guilty.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was fine to be a little extravagant and depraved in the Emperor Star because everyone was in this state of drunkenness every day anyway, and if he didnât do this, it would seem that he was not social, but it was different here.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Everyone here was facing a life-and-death battle, living a hard life, and if he was extravagant and wasteful, arrogant and domineering, it would be very out of place and needed a beating. Especially when even the Emperor and the Marshal shared the weal and woe with the soldiersâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The entire steel base had a tone of iron gray, the soldiers wore black uniforms and were highly disciplined. Marshal Brandon was a man of great self-discipline, and so was his army.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although Jing Sui was the Emperor, he never made any specialization in the army, he ate and lived with the soldiers, and was highly respected for leading by example.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Both of them were such strict self-disciplined people, and they didnât like the wasteful and extravagant style of the Emperor Star, and for that reason⌠In the previous life, he was very displeased with the dude like Ji Ling.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In fact, Ji Ling himself also felt that he sometimes really owed a beating, if he was a bystander, he was afraid that when he saw such a person, he couldnât help but curse a few words.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But in order to get the plot back on track, in order to make Brandon and Jing Sui realize that he was not as beautiful as they imagined, that he was no different than any other dude⌠Ji Ling, fighting! Anyway, he couldnât do any harm to others, at most he looked annoying and affected the mood a bitâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As a result, he didnât even see the shadows of Jing Sui and the others. Ji Ling thought about it and went back to rest, letting his servant continue to go and keep an eye on the situation outside for him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A few hours later, the servant used the communication to tell Ji Ling that His Majesty and Ning Yu were eating in the cafeteria, and Ji Ling immediately rushed over in high spirits!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This cafeteria was very large, enough to accommodate hundreds of people at the same time. In the spacious hall, metal tables and chairs were neatly arranged, and the soldiers were sitting in twos and threes. At this time of the day, there were not many people, and there were quite a few empty seats.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As the protagonists of this book, Jing Sui and Ning Yuâs perfect appearance and dazzling radiance were completely impossible to hide! Ji Ling saw them at a glance, Jing Sui sat in a relatively deep position, sitting alone at a table, surrounded by a relatively empty space, while Ning Yu sat closer to the door, dining with comrade-in-arms.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling rolled his eyes, and instead of going directly to Jing Suiâs side, he took his servants and walked in the direction of Ning Yu with his head held high.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ning Yu was talking to his comrade-in-arms beside him, revealing a handsome side profile and a shallow smile on his lips.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling walked straight over, put the dinner plate handed to him by the servant just now on the metal table with a âsnapâ, raised his eyebrows and made a contemptuous voice and said, âGet out of the way, I want to sit here.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As soon as these words came out, Ning Yu suddenly turned his head, looked at him lightly with his green eyes, and frowned slightly.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling replied with a provocative look, being as arrogant as he wanted to be!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ning Yu hadnât reacted much, but his comrade-in-arms beside him had already revealed an angry expression when they saw this, angrily saying to Ji Ling, âThere are plenty of empty seats here.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling sneered and raised his chin. âI just think this seat is more pleasing to the eye, canât I?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The soldier was Ning Yuâs best friend and knew some triangular gossip about Ning Yu, Ji Ling and the Emperor. After all, the previous duel was quite a big deal, so he was very dissatisfied with Ji Ling, and felt that his best friend was really unlucky to somehow be targeted by this kind of trashy aristocrat. He looked at Ji Lingâs little arms and legs, and his temper came up, snorting and looking at him coldly. âWe just wonât let you, so what can you do?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling immediately revealed his anger, slamming his hands aggressively onto the table and shouted, âHow dare you provoke me, you are lowly commoner!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The moment the word âlowly commonerâ came out, the already discordant atmosphere became even more obvious, and the soldier looked coldly at Ji Ling, stood up with a huff, and rolled up his own sleeves.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling gasped when he saw it, I just said two words, you started to roll up your sleeves, donât you be so rude?! His face went white and he almost wimped out, his expression stiffening, and then Ning Yu suddenly stood up, raised his hand and pressed the shoulders of his comrade-in-arms, turned his head to look at Ji Ling calmly, and said lightly, âThis place is given over to you.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Seeing that Ning Yu stopped the other party, Ji Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief, showed an arrogant and smug appearance again, and snorted, âCount on you to know whatâs good for you.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ning Yuâs comrade-in-arms was originally very unconvinced, and seeing Ji Lingâs villainous appearance, they even more didnât want to leave, and said to Ning Yu dissatisfied, âWhy do we let him? Are you afraid of him!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ning Yu shook his head, his green eyes were indifferent, and he didnât seem to bother to argue with Ji Ling at all, and said, âItâs better to do more things than less, there are plenty of seats here, letâs go over there.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The comrade-in-arms still didnât want to go, but seeing that Ning Yu was unwilling to argue, and he had always been convinced of Ning Yuâs decision, he finally didnât insist, cursing and carrying his own plate away.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling sat down directly in the seat where Ning Yu had sat just now, the temperature of the other party was still left on the cold metal seat. He glanced at the back of Ning Yu leaving, and then seemingly unintentionally retracted his gaze.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui must have seen this scene just now!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But he was indifferent, watching himself bully Ning Yu, he was so calm! Ji Ling knew that this was not the solution, and he had another idea. He looked at the food on his plate in thought.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Nado Galaxy was very barren and desolate, and it was in war all year round, so the materials here had always been very scarce, and most of the food in the cafeteria was mainly energy food, which looked very simple, and it couldnât be compared with the Emperor Star at all.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Everyone was used to being soldiers, but Ji Ling had never really eaten such a simple food.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It stood to reason that even the Emperor and the Marshal didnât mind eating such food, and he shouldnât be dissatisfied with it, but Ji Ling wanted to express his dissatisfaction, and even dissatisfied to the point of letting everyone know about it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He picked out the food on the plate with a knife and fork in disgust and yelled, âWhat is this? Is it something a human can eat?!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The cafeteria was quiet for a moment, and everyone who was eating stopped their movements and turned their heads to look in Ji Lingâs direction, with a cold light in their eyes.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In fact, they also saw the scene of Ji Ling bullying Ning Yu just now. Although they were very dissatisfied with Ji Lingâs behavior, but Ning Yu chose to back down, and they couldnât interfere so they could only swallow their anger, but this garbage aristocrat was really too disgusting. It was not enough to make trouble, and he even needed to be gibberish on a meal. If this was not eaten by people, what did they eat?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">We risk our lives to fight Zerg here, living a life of hardship and precariousness, but nobles like you come in and bully us as soon as you can, not to mention disliking our food, saying itâs not something people can eat.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It really makes people want to throw this guy out of here so as not to affect their appetite!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling continued to pick up the things on the plate in disgust, and then put down the fork heavily, pretending not to notice everyoneâs sight at all. This was what he wanted!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">At this moment, steady and powerful footsteps sounded behind him, and a slender, tall, handsome man slowly walked up to him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui was also wearing a black military uniform today, but the material looked obviously different from other ordinary soldiers, with gold trim on the cuffs, silver epaulets hanging on his shoulders, long black hair tied behind his head, and golden eyes on his handsome and sharp face.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling saw that Jing Sui finally appeared, and said in his heart, you finally canât help it! I know you hate me the most, and look, thereâs nothing to like about a person like me!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Iâd like to see what youâre going to do with me, and if you continue to indulge me, youâll surely arouse everyoneâs discontent!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling raised his head and looked at Jing Sui with expectant gaze.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui looked at Ji Lingâs bright eyes, looked at the expectation and persistence in his eyes, and thought, this child, Iâm afraid he is deliberately making a commotion to wait for him to come. Thinking of this, he couldnât help but show a helpless smile on his lipsâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although the little guy said that he refused to forgive himself, when he saw that he was going to go on the expedition, he still followed him, clearly because he still had himself in his heart. Even the nonsense just now was to get his attention⌠donât think that he wonât notice that Ji Ling is secretly looking at himself.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A trace of love and compassion surfaced in the bottom of Jing Suiâs eyes, such a lovely child, how could one not spoil him?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In the past, as long as I seriously understood it once, I would find the true side of the teenager hidden under the arrogant and domineering appearance, and the boyâs seemingly nonsense behavior did not hurt anyone, just so that he could look at him more⌠Unfortunately, I used to disdain people like him so much that I didnât even want to look at him more.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">If he had realized this sooner, he could have seen his true and pure inner self earlier, maybe⌠I have been liking him for a long time.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Being reborn again, and seeing the teenager once more.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">I realized how much I had missed before, and I found that the boy was more beautiful and vivid than what he remembered, so vivid and lovely.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui felt a hint of softness in his heart, walked over and sat down beside Ji Ling, and said gently, âIâve wronged you.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling: â???â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui picked up the fork and ate a piece of the food that Ji Ling had poked just now, and then smiled at him, âAlthough it looks average, the taste is actually not so bad, and the nutrition is also very sufficient.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling: â...â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In a trance, Jing Sui forked out another piece of food and brought it to his mouth, his golden eyes had a trace of a smile, and he coaxed him in a gentle tone, âDo you want to try it too?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling was stunned to see Jing Sui so well intentioned to persuade himself to eat, looking at the other side of the handsome as godâs face and the corners of the lips with a smile, he almost agreed without paying attention, but he is a pampered dude <i>ah</i>! He came here to set off Ning Yuâs hardships and hard work!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">I wonât give you this face today, what can you do?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling turned his head, looked at the food in disgust and said, âI wonât eat it.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui was not angry at all, his expression did not change in the slightest, his tone was still gentle, and he said slowly, âJust take one bite, en?â Raising his hand to gently brush the hair around Ji Lingâs hair, as if he was coaxing an angry and picky kitten, with a hint of a smile in his eyes, his tone was low and pleasing to the ear, âIf youâre starving, I will feel distressed.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling: â...â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He really wanted to pull Jing Suiâs collar and asked, Your Majesty, whatâs wrong with you <i>ah</i>!

They originally thought Jing Sui was to reprimand Ji Ling, but who knew that His Majesty actually started to coax Ji Ling to eat without saying a word, simply like a worrying old motherâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">One by one, they all looked confused!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Who are you? Where are they? What happened?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling felt very bitter in his heart, and stubbornly looked at Jing Sui with wide eyes, but Jing Sui was obviously more persistent than him⌠Maintaining such an action, looking at him gently and encouragingly, as if he had a posture of not giving up until he succeeded.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling: â...â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After a long time, Ji Ling finally became the defeated side, and reluctantly, opened his mouth to bite the food handed over by Jing Sui.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Cough, it sure tastes okay.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling, who used to be able to eat even instant noodles for a month when he was studying, although he had been spoiled a bit by his aristocratic life, this nutritious meal was really not bad.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Forget it, Iâd better eat first if Iâm hungry.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although he was still angry and hadnât forgiven Jing Sui yet, he couldnât just skip his meal in order to do the mission, right? Iâll keep messing around when Iâm full!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A look of relief appeared in Jing Suiâs eyes as he saw that Ji Ling was finally willing to eat. Looking at the teenagerâs cheeks bulging, and not forgetting to glare at himself when he ate, he only found it adorable, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Such a sweet and kind child, how could he have left him out in the cold before? Jing Sui once again felt a trance of regret in his heart.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">With this kind of coaxing and persuasion, Jing Sui finally let Ji Ling finish his meal and from the beginning to the end, he showed great gentleness and patience.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The onlookers were stunned at first, outraged halfway through, then nervous, and finally actually relieved⌠***, itâs so tiring to watch, it can be so hard for the young master to eat, His Majesty is so patient and itâs not easy!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was hard enough for His Majesty to fight here, and he still had to go through the trouble of taking care of this unearthly Young Master.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As for Ji Ling, although at first he looked very arrogant and needed to be beaten, after a meal, everyoneâs accumulated anger also slowly dispersed. They all saw that Ji Ling was actually just a picky eater and a pampered child.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">They couldnât help but associate him with their own familyâs bear children. Their bear children were angry and tricky, they didnât eat this or that, all of them gave people a headache. As such a noble teenager, it was only natural that Ji Ling would lose his temper if he was not used to eating such food, right⌠but he ate it anyway in the end, and he didnât even go overboard.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Except for a few picky comments and nasty words at the beginning, he seemed very well behaved, feeding a bite and eating a biteâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Forget it, theyâre a bunch of big old men, what do they have to do with a pampered bear child.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Itâs scattered, theyâve been watching the gossip for a long time, so just eat on their own, itâs a waste of time just now, they will have to face the attack of the Zerg later.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Under Jing Suiâs persistent feeding, Ji Ling pretended to dislike the food and finished it. Because he was too full, he accidentally burped, and he suddenly blushed embarrassedly, and then found that he⌠</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Cough, why is no one even looking at himself anymore?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wow, Iâve worked so hard to death, tossed and turned, exhausted myself over a meal, and how donât you audience buy it?!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling was dumbfounded.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui looked at Ji Lingâs stunned appearance, wiped the corners of his mouth with his handkerchief, and chuckled. âLike I said, itâs not that bad, right?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling: â...â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Baby Ling is very angry, baby Ling doesnât want to talk now!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He stood up angrily, waving away Jing Suiâs hand and snorted. âNone of your business, I havenât forgiven you yet!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">With that, he turned and walked away!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui was not in a hurry, smiling at Ji Lingâs hastily departing back. The corners of his lips couldnât help but rise slightly. What do you mean not forgive yet⌠Actually, youâre shy again, arenât you? How old are you? Why do you still blush so easily?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After a long time, Jing Sui retracted his gaze, folded his handkerchief and put it away with an indifferent expression, and smiled at everyone. âIâll let you see the joke, itâs still the first time for this child to leave the Emperor Star, and he is not very suitable for the outside environment, but he actually has no bad intentions.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Everyone responded in quick succession.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âItâs okay, itâs okay, we can see that.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âYour Majesty has worked hard.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âYour Majesty doesnât need to explain it to us.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âItâs not like weâre doing anything.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âDonât worry, donât worry, we are not going to bother with a childâŚâ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><p><span style="font-size: large;">âŚâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚ</span></p></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling returned to his room and stared at the wall in a daze.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Iâve gone that far, why doesnât it seem to have achieved the desired effect?

In the previous life, he also followed, and he deliberately used his vicious arrogance to set off Ning Yuâs hardships and hard work, but in fact, he didnât go as far as he did today, and he was coldly punished by Brandon and Jing Sui.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">How can you guys react completely differently to the same thing?

He decided to be ruthless, he must make Jing Sui have no choice but to punish himself!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But what is the best way to do it?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling walked along the road with his servant, frowning in contemplation as he went.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">At this time, he suddenly heard some movement in front of him, and when he looked up, it turned out to be a team of commoners from Field Star who sent supplies in.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although it was a barren and marginal planet, there were still many people living on the planet, and they were grateful to the army for protecting them from being killed by the terrible Zerg, so they would often send the preserved food over to these soldiers.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon and Jing Sui had always been close to the people, and they happened to come out to meet the group of commoners in person, and Jing Sui was talking cordially with the leader of the group of commoners.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Lingâs eyes lit up.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This was a good opportunity to find fault, he immediately took his servant and squeezed through. The local commoners were dressed in simple and gray clothes, and their appearance looked ordinary, probably due to the reason of working outside for many years, their skin was darker.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">When Ji Ling passed, a few commoners in the group noticed him and subconsciously looked towards him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The older ones looked calmer, and seeing Ji Lingâs unusual aristocratic clothes, they didnât dare to look at him and quickly retracted their gaze, but one of the dark-skinned teenagers was fascinated.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He was born in the desolate Field Star, where he fought all year round, the land was barren and the peopleâs living standards were not very good. The richest person he had ever seen was their mayor, and every time they met, he felt that the mayor was the most imposing, and his skin looked relatively white, but at this moment he looked at Ji Ling⌠A thought suddenly comes into his mindââ the mayor is nothing!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The teenager in front of him with a reckless demeanor and bright eyes, his light golden hair was like a layer of golden radiance by the sunlight, his blue eyes were countless times more beautiful than the pictures of the ocean he had seen, and they were bluer and clearer than the sky, and his fair skin had no blemish at all, whiter than the highest ceramics he had ever seen⌠Itâs like an angel coming down from the sky, beautiful and noble, not like a mortal.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This is the best-looking person heâs ever seen!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The dark-skinned young man looked at Ji Ling stupidly, and in a trance, the little angel in front of him was getting closer and closer to him. His heartbeat couldnât help but accelerate, this, such a good-looking person was also looking at him and walking towards him, was this to talk to him?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">However, the next moment, he saw the beautiful teenager opposite, raising his eyebrows to reveal a look of disgust and disdain. His voice was cleared and more beautiful, but he spit out cruel words, âWhat are you looking at? Be careful I gouge your eyes out!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The dark-skinned young man looked at Ji Ling in disbelief, such a good-looking person⌠He would say such a thing.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He was stunned for a while, staring blankly at Ji Ling.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling looked at his shocked and injured appearance, and felt a little embarrassed, but for the sake of seeking death⌠he swept his eyes and found that Brandon and Jing Sui had noticed this side and were walking towards this side, thinking that they would definitely be able to stop him, and suddenly made a decision in his heart.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling raised his hand and then pulled out the whip hanging from the waist of the servant behind him and whipped it towards the young man, while shouting, âStill looking?

I havenât forgiven you yet!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After saying that, he desperately widened his eyes, trying to hide his inner panic, and his face was burning.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui looked at Ji Lingâs red cheeks, and the teenagerâs wide-open eyes were sparkling, that shocked and annoyed look⌠After a while, a hint of helplessness gradually appeared in his eyes, even if he had already explained, this child still cared about those words on the Internet in the end <i>ah</i>.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">And he didnât know before that Ji Ling had a shy character, seeing that he always ran after him to confess to himself, he thought of how bold he was.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In fact, he was just a simple child.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui looked at Ji Lingâs flushed and shy face, not only did he not get angry at him for avoiding him, but he felt Ji Ling was adorable, which made his heart feel like doting on him, and couldnât help but let out a low laugh. âI know.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He looked deeply at the teenagerâs flushed face, wanting nothing more than to rub the teenager into his arms like this, bully him fiercely, watching him reveal more of his cute and shy appearance⌠but now is not the right time.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui slowly turned his head and squinted his eyes to look at the silver-haired man who was standing silently at the side, leaving only an indifferent and cold look in his eyes.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A few days ago, Wen Yan took the initiative to come to him and expressed his willingness to support him in the council, with only one conditionââ Let himself be kind to Ji Ling.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In order to gain his trust, Wen Yan even took the initiative to open up and admit that he had once teamed up with Carlos. If Jing Sui didnât know very well the nature of this manâs ambition and his betrayal of Ji Ling in his previous life, he would have been able to frame him⌠almost believing that Carlos was really thinking about Ji Ling.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although he didnât trust Wen Yan, Jing Sui finally agreed to his request, he didnât care what purpose the other had to approach him, as long as it could be used by him⌠If Wen Yan dared to come to see him, he dared to accept his surrender, as for whether there were other conspiracies, it depended on whether he had the ability and courage to do so.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling⌠even if Wen Yan didnât say it, he would treat him well.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This time, youâd better always behave like you do now, otherwise Iâll let you know the price of hurting Ji Ling.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wen Yan raised his head to meet Jing Suiâs eyes, but as if he didnât even read the warning in his eyes, he only respectfully said, âYour Majesty, Young Master.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling was flustered and ashamed in his heart, and he didnât care about Wen Yanâs presence, but at this moment, seeing that Jing Sui finally let go of him, he looked at him cautiously, turned around and ran.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wen Yan bowed to Jing Sui, and then chased after Ji Ling.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui didnât stop Ji Ling this time, but just looked at Ji Lingâs back as he disappeared at the door off the Dukeâs residence, and a trace of deep persistence surfaced in his eyes.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Since he was already sure of his feelings, it was impossible to let go, but he could not push too hard, he had enough patience to wait for the teenager to let go of his feelings and accept himself again.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âŚâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling ran back in a hurry, not daring to turn back at all, and when he arrived in his courtyard, he found that Wen Yan had followed silently, and his face was slightly burning again.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Just now, he only cared about getting away from Jing Sui that he didnât even have time to pay attention to Wen Yan, and now he only felt ashamed when he calmed down.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">What is worse than a straight guy getting forcibly kissed? And there is an audience next to them!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">And Wen Yan was so calm, which made Ji Ling feel that this guy would sneer at himself in the bottom of his heart!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Why donât you have any eyes at all? Canât you see Iâm embarrassed right now?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling became more and more embarrassed in his heart, glanced at him faintly, and said angrily, âWhat are you doing here?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wen Yan raised his eyes to look at him, his dark eyes were like a black hole without a trace of light in the night, and said dumbly, âHis Majesty seems to like you very much, arenât you happy?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling: â...â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ruthless, this is a ruthless man, and when he opens his mouth, he hits the nail on the head! I have to take it!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling had tears in his eyes and said, âHappy.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wen Yan looked at him fixedly, showing a hint of worry, and said, âBut you donât seem to be very happy.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling was very sad when he heard this, so he had to talk a few times, showing a sad and worried expression, and sighed. âYour Majesty obviously didnât like me before, how could he suddenly like me? Although Iâm very happy, I donât dare to believe it⌠does he really like me? How long will he like me? Or will he not like me tomorrow?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wen Yanâs hand clenched slightly, his heart sinking as he looked at the apprehensive look in the teenagerâs eyes and the sadness and grief implied in them. It was supposed to be a happy thing, but when it was really happening, he was afraid to believe it, and he was afraid to be disappointed⌠It was the ruthless man who trampled the heart of this proud teenager little by little into this current state.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jealousy and hatred surged in his chest, not wanting to let go of his beloved teenager, not wanting to send him to that cold man just like that.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">HoweverâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After a long time, Wen Yan closed his eyes and said slowly, âNo, he will definitely like you.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">There was a moment just now when the darkness in his heart once again took over, giving him the same vile thoughts he had in his previous life, wanting to take his beloved teenager for himselfââ but he couldnât do that.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">If he did that, how would it be different from the previous life?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In this life, he only hoped that the teenager could be happy.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui might be cold and ruthless, but because of this, for people like him, feelings were nothing more than a tradable commodity for, just as he had chosen to join forces with Ning Yu, who was a commoner, for his own benefit in his previous life.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As long as he could provide enough benefits to make Jing Sui tempted, then he could naturally cooperate with himself, just like the proposal of this genetic evolution agent, compared with such major events, the scandal with Ning Yu was completely insignificant to Jing Sui. As long as Jing Sui weighed the pros and cons, then there was no doubt that he would be willing to give up Ning Yu, because it was more beneficial to him to cooperate with himself.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling looked at Wen Yanâs persistent and submissive expression, as well as his dark black eyes, as if he was promising something very solemnlyâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He wanted to say âbrother, donât act, I canât help you with my limited ability, you are already a mature Speaker, you should learn to go out on your ownâ, but he looked at the man in front of him with a feminine and handsome face, remembering the viciousness and cruelty in his heart, and he didnât dare to say it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After a while, the stifled word came out, âOh.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âŚâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling didnât fall asleep that night. As soon as he closed his eyes, he saw the faces of Jing Sui, Brandon, Carlos, Wen Yan and the others, one moment indifferent, one moment ruthless, one moment vicious, shuffled in front of his eyes⌠Thinking of the situation he was facing now, he wanted to cry in anger.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">And thinking back on last night, it was better than almost losing his first kiss or something⌠The meaning represented in that kiss was what really terrified Ji Ling, and that wasââ Why did Jing Sui want to kiss him <i>ah</i>!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Even if you feel a little guilty about me, is it necessary to bow down and make all kinds of explanations like this, and still try to kiss me? Isnât it common for people to want to do this kind of thing with someone they like?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thatâs not guilt, thatâs clearly an attitude of pursuit <i>ah</i>! Ji Ling was about to collapse.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">No, no, letâs calm down.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">What does Jing Sui like about himself?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling thought about it and felt that there was only one last possibilityâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It must be out of the guilt compensation psychology after rebirth, such as what is lost is the best or something, and his own death makes him have a filter and beautify himselfâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although it might be ridiculous, it was the truth that people were always hung up on what they couldnât get and what they had lost, and they didnât appreciate what was within their reach.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">When he was a child, he wanted to get a toy that he couldnât get, and he would never forget it for a long time, but when he got it, he found that it was nothing more than thatâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">So for Jing Sui, what about himself, a living person who was âinfatuatedâ with him in his previous life, and died for him? As long as he wasnât a cold-blooded antisocial personality, he would be a little impressedâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">His image in his eyes would always stay at the last and most perfect moment.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Death, time, made everything different.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Rice grains could also turn into white moonlight, and mosquito blood could also turn into red roses.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling suddenly thoughtâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Itâs not really that hard to destroy it if their liking for himself is just this so-called liking, right?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The feelings that were not strong in the first place, the desire to make amends out of guilt, that was all towards himself who had died for him in his previous life. And now he was not only living well, but the things in the previous life had not happened. As long as he continued to work hard, let them see the real him, remove the filter a little bit, and he would find that what they like was just like that. The appearance of himself was just fantasy, and the real person was seriously different from the photos⌠Then they realized that he wasnât really that good and didnât deserve their affection.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The toy was gone, and when they had enough, they could throw it away.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">White Moonlight turned into rice grains again, and the red roses turned into mosquito blood again, and the human heart was so cold and fickle.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">There was nothing difficult in the world but a person who had the will, as long as he did enough to die! It would definitely be possible to turn the plot around!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A firm gaze finally appeared in Ji Lingâs eyes.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A few days later, the news of the Zergâs invasion of the Nado System would come, because this time a Zerg Queen had appeared, and out of the importance of this matter, Jing Sui would take the expedition in person. But Ji Ling knew that this time there was not only one Zerg Queen, there was another one secretly hiding, the Zergs cunningly hid their strength, and at the critical moment the other hidden Zerg Queen suddenly attacked the base, putting Brandon in danger, before giving himself the chance to save him in his previous life.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But this time none of this would happen, for the reborn Brandon and Jing Sui, once they knew the other sideâs plot, fighting this group of insect monsters would be like playing, and there would be no more danger in this war.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was completely crushing.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling didnât plan to continue this trip according to the plot before, although he knew that there should be no danger this time, but the incident of the previous time still made him feel uneasy, and he didnât want to risk the danger of encountering the rebels to get out of the Emperor Star in fear anymore. In addition, the characters had been reborn, and he was afraid that going there himself wouldnât be of much use, so he had the idea of giving up.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But not Ji Ling has changed his mind again.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was precisely because there would be no more danger in this battle, and he should go even more. If there was no danger, it was purely a stage for him to court death <i>ah</i>, what a good opportunity to show himself <i>ah</i>! For Jing Sui, the more he was hurt and sad, the more he wanted to get closer to himself to make up for himself. Once he became the same as before, arrogantly pestering him, causing trouble, wouldnât he get tired of it quickly?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling felt that he is really a little clever ghost, and his goal was to become the most annoying person in Jing Suiâs eyes! In other words, I have all the looks you hate!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The first step is to make Jing Sui hate himself!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âŚâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling waited anxiously, and a few days later, he finally saw the news of the Zerg invasion and the Emperorâs decision to go out in person! Ji Ling did not hesitate to run to his father and motherâs side, and used his own coquettish method.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling: âMom and Dad, I want to go to the Nado Galaxy with His Majesty.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Grand Duke Ji Ting frowned and said, âItâs dangerous there.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Madam Marina said, âBaby, donât go to that kind of barren place, itâs so backward and hard, you wonât be used to it.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling was very persistent and said, âIâm going! You guys just need to agree to it.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Madam Marina was still apprehensive about the last duel, although there was no danger in the end, she was still very worried. When she thought that her baby was going to chase Jing Sui out again, she said uneasily, âWith His Majestyâs ability, I think he will come back soon.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Grand Duke Ji Ting said, âDonât run off to cause trouble.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Lingâs tears came as soon as he heard it, and he looked at his father and mother pleadingly. âMom, Dad, in your eyes, Iâm so uneasy that I must be there to cause trouble? Iâm already an adult, I can choose where to go on my own!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Grand Duke Ji Ting and Madam Marinaâs faces stiffened a little when they heard this, because it was right, they were indeed uneasy about the boy going out alone⌠but at this moment, seeing Ji Lingâs eyes reddened and looking at them, he felt distressed and blamed himself. This child had been pampered by them because his physical fitness was not strong enough, but did he ignore the childâs psychology because of his overprotective behavior?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Madam Marina hesitated. âMom is just worried about you, those Zerg will eat people on sightâŚâ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling said, âWith His Majesty and Marshal Brandon around, there will be no danger!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Grand Duke Ji Ting was silent for a moment and said, âIf you want to go, you can only follow the army, Dad is worried that you wonât adapt to the environment of the army.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling said, âI havenât even been there yet, and you all think I canât do it?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Madam Marina and Grand Duke Ji Ting glanced at each other, both of them showed helpless looks. The two of them thought about it for a long time, looked at Ji Lingâs persistent eyes, and finally couldnât help but sigh.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Grand Duke Ji Ting finally loosened his grip and sighed. âFine, but outside is not like in the Emperor Star, you have to be a bit more restrained, do you know?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Madam Marina said, âItâs rare to go on a long trip, and thereâs not the bed youâre used to sleeping in or the things youâre used to using out there, so Iâll ask servants to bring you some extra.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In this way, the Ji family suddenly became busy.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Madam Marina began to prepare servants and daily necessities for Ji Ling, and the servants alone prepared more than a dozen, as well as several carts of things, and almost dismantled his own bed. Ji Lingâs eyelids jumped and he hurriedly stopped it. âEnough, enough, no need to prepare anymore.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Grand Duke Ji Ting also said helplessly, âOkay, if we continue to prepare, Iâm afraid His Majesty will be angry when he sees it.â His Majesty disliked the extravagant and pompous style of these nobles the most, and Marshal Brandon even more so, and if Ji Ling dared to take these to the army, he might be thrown out on the spot.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The father and son finally persuaded their beloved mother, and finally kept only some daily necessities and took a servant on the way.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The parentâs hearts, for the sake of his childâs safety, Grand Duke Ji Ting personally took Ji Ling to the military headquarters.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The atmosphere in the military headquarters was very solemn, and everyone came and went in a hurry, because they were about to set off, and this time with Zerg Queen leading the team, it must not be an easy battle. Fortunately, His Majesty and Marshal Brandon were there.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon was in his command room, under his dark red hair, his gray pupils glowed with a cold light, his brows were tightened, and he was giving orders in an orderly manner, just waiting for everyone to be ready, then he was ready to use the Space Leap Technology to travel to the Nado Galaxy. At this moment, he heard a knock on the door outside, so he said in a deep voice, âCome in.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Grand Duke Ji Ting pushed the door with Ji Ling, showed a smile and said politely, âYour Excellency Brandon, Iâm sorry to disturb you now.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon originally had a serious expression, once he saw that the visitors were Grand Duke Ji Ting and Ji Ling, his eyes skimmed over the teenagerâs face, his face suddenly softened a lot, and he said in an equally courteous manner, âYour Excellency Ji Ting is very polite, is there something you are here for?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although he asked like this, in fact, Brandon knew very well why Grand Duke Ji Ting came, because this incident had already happened in the previous life. At that time, in order to follow Jing Sui, Ji Ling also begged his father to let him set off with the army, so he didnât seem to be so surprised.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Grand Duke Ji Ting paused, and said with a straight face. âI have an ungrateful request that I hope His Excellency the Marshal will grant.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon smiled and said, âYour Excellency go ahead and say what you want. I will definitely not refuse.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Grand Duke Ji Ting pulled Ji Ling out from behind him and said, âThis kid has never been out of the Emperor Star before, this time he wants to go out with the army to see the world, so I think about it and have to come and find His Excellency the Marshal, and want to hand him over to you so that I can rest assured.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After saying that, he began to wait for Brandonâs reply, although he thought that Brandon should not refuse this small request, he was also uncertain⌠After all, Brandon didnât like these Imperial dandies the most, and Ji Ling was purely a drag wherever he went, and it was possible if he didnât give himself face.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But before he could finish speaking, he heard Brandon agreed earnestly in a low voice, âDonât worry, Your Excellency, Iâll use my life to protect him!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Grand Duke Ji Ting: â...â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling: â...â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling averted his eyes in some embarrassment, simply unable to bear to look at him directly.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Grand Duke Ji Ting was stunned for a moment, and looked at the tall man with a cold and solemn face in front of him in astonishment, looking at his serious gaze⌠Iâm just asking you to take care of my little child who is no good by the way, is it necessary to even say such words as protecting him with your lifeâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Isnât there no danger in this battle? And itâs not like I'm facing death aloneâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But Brandon didnât feel that there was anything wrong with what he said, he remembered the incident of the previous life. That time, he fell into the trap of the Zerg Queen, and all the people around him died. When he was struggling to hold on alone amidst the overwhelming desperation of the Zergs, it was the teenager who had risked his life to save him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">However, due to his negligence, he was kidnapped by the cruel rebel commander on the way back, and almost lost his life.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Even if Ji Ling came back safe and sound in the end, every time Brandon thought about it, he blamed himself very much and couldnât forgive himself. He should have protected the boy, not let him suffer all of that, but he didnât do it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was his fault.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This time, I wonât put you in any danger, and I will protect you well.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">However, Grand Duke Ji Ting didnât know this, so he had to try to suppress the surprise in his heart, and gave a dry smile, âThen please, Your Excellency Marshal, Iâve caused you trouble. When you come back from your victory, you must come to my house and sit down, and let me thank you well.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon said in a deep voice, âAs it should be, Your Excellency is welcome.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Grand Duke Ji Ting: â...â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Whatâs going on today? Brandon has such a nice attitude, why does he feel like this conversation is over?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling finally couldnât help but pull his fatherâs sleeve and whispered, âDad, donât worry, since Your Excellency the Marshal has promised, he will definitely take care of me, you go back first, Iâll be fine.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Grand Duke Ji Ting also felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, nodded, coughed lightly and decided to end this conversation, and said with a smile, âThen I wonât disturb Your Excellency, Xiao Ling is in your hands.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He turned around and instructed Ji Ling, âYou must listen to His Excellency the Marshal here, you canât be as willful as you are at home, you know?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and promised again that he would be careful and obedient, and Grand Duke Ji Ting finally left reluctantly.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Despite Grand Duke Ji Tingâs repeated excuses, Brandon still went out to see him off in person, the tall and cold person did not have much expression on his face, but there was an extremely solemn color in his eyes as he once again stated, âI will definitely bring him back intact.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Grand Duke Ji Ting smiled gratefully and uncomfortably, and laughed while saying, âOkay, okay, okay, I believe in Your Excellency! No need to send me off, you can get busy!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">When Brandon returned to the room, he found that Ji Ling was sitting on the chair by the window of the room, with his hands propped up on the edge of the chair, his upper body straight, his legs shaking slightly, raising his eyebrows and looking at Brandon, his eyes were open, and he tilted his head to make a clear voice, âWhen are we leaving? Iâve been waiting for a long time.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon looked at the teenagerâs arrogant and bright eyes, listening to his unscrupulous words, but he didnât mind his rudeness at all, instead, a hint of soft look of nostalgia appeared in his eyes, and said, âLetâs go now.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling jumped down lightly from his chair and tilted his head. âThen, letâs go!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon bowed slightly, raised his hand and touched the teenagerâs soft blonde hair and said in a deep voice, âCome with me.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After saying that, he turned around and walked out from the front.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling followed behind him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although it was the second time he had gone out with the army, Ji Ling, a young man from the Earth, saw the spectacular scene in front of him again, and he couldnât help but show a look of amazement and shock. What a terrifying future technology, the huge starship in front of him was like a steel giant beast across the starry sky, and its cold body made everything tremble.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">At this time, he felt his own insignificance deeply once again.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Suddenlyââ He wants to go home even more.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling withdrew his mind from the scene in front of him.

Although his proposal was successfully passed this time, there was still a long way to go before this policy could be truly implemented, and any small link that went wrong might lead to the failure to implement this matter smoothly in the end.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Gerald, a cunning old fox, had important raw materials for the manufacture of genetic evolution agents in his hands, vacillating between him and Carlos, and even favoring Carlos, because he also did not want to see a large number of genetic evolution agents distributed to commoners, so Jing Sui decided to come in person. Count Gerald was mercenary, as long as he was gracious, there was still hope to take him under his command.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">These days, Jing Sui was so busy maneuvering between these nobles that he didnât even have time to see Ji Ling.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But he didnât expect to meet here.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thinking of the last time they parted⌠A hint of complexity flashed in Jing Suiâs eyes.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He was about to go over, but when he saw Ji Ling turn around and was about to avoid him, intending to slip away from here, he suddenly opened his mouth and called out to him, âXiao Ling.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling stood there stiffly, he saw that Jing Sui and Count Gerald were together. They should have come to discuss business, and with a slight hope, he hoped that Jing Suiâs overall situation would be important, and he would ignore himself! Who knew that he was stopped by Jing SuiâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Seeing this, Deng Dong said excitedly beside him, âYoung Master Ji! His Majesty, His Majesty has taken the initiative to call you!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling glanced at him expressionlessly, giving a cold death stare.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The end of the lackey with no eyes.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Deng Dong: â???â I seem to have said the wrong thing?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui looked at Ji Lingâs expression of indifference and unwillingness to respond to himself, remembering that he left himself sadly last time. He was afraid that Ji Ling was still hating what he said before, he was making trouble with himself. He sighed softly in his heart, walked over directly, stared at him with lowered eyes and said dotingly, âWhatâs the matter?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling was going crazy. Iâm ignoring you, donât you have any pride as the master of a country? Take the initiative to come over for what?!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He pretended to be still angry, turned around and left, attempting to offer up his escape technique once again. Who knew that this time, he was pulled by Jing Sui, the manâs slightly cool fingers clutched his wrist tightly, and with a gentle tug, he pulled Ji Ling into his arms.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling raised his head in a panic and met the deep golden eyes.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui gently stared at him, âWhy donât you speak?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling bit his lip stubbornly and glared at him fiercely! Showing him with his eyes that Iâm still angry, still angry, still angry! I wonât forgive you!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui looked at the stubbornness and anger in the teenagerâs eyes, his heart ached slightly, the regret and self-blame that had tormented him for countless years tore at his heart again, reminding him of the mistakes he had madeâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In fact, he also thought it out later, the reason why Ji Ling was so angry that day was just because he still liked himself and cared about himself.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Taking his every word to heart is what makes you sad about it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Such a teenager⌠How can one not pity him? Donât want to spoil him and coax him?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thinking of this, a hint of pity appeared in Jing Suiâs eyes, he raised his hand and gently brushed Ji Lingâs cheeks. His deep golden eyes stared at him, his thin lips opened slightly, and he let out a chuckle. âEn?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Seeing that if he didnât speak up today, Jing Sui would definitely not let himself go, Ji Lingâs heart was beyond despair, once again stubbornly tried to escape from here and finally opened his mouth in a sullen voice, âYou let go of me! I want to go back!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He didnât want to get close to such a gentle Jing Sui at all <i>ah</i>! It was too dangerous!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui let out a very light sigh from his lips, blaming himself for being too indifferent before, which made Ji Ling so aggrieved and angry, if it was before⌠Iâm afraid he would have come over long ago if he had seen him, where would he have avoided him like this? Obviously in his heart, he still cares about himself and canât let go of it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">You used to always be after me, chasing me⌠Iâll love you this time, okay?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui didnât mind Ji Lingâs rudeness at all, and smiled. âSit with me for a while, I will personally send you back later, Iâm sure Grand Duke Ji Ting wonât mind.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling was completely dumbfounded. Big brother, why did you suddenly become so persistent! And youâre still using my old man out on me, how am I supposed to answer that? And youâve been invited so gently and repeatedly, how can you refuse with your own personalityâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Seeing that it was about to be pulled away by Jing Sui, Ji Ling was in a trance and helpless, when an elegant and soothing voice suddenly sounded.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos walked over in a black dress and holding a cane, his brown pupils looked at Jing Sui, his sharp gaze swept over Jing Sui and grabbed Ji Lingâs hand. A smile appeared on his lips and said, âIt turns out that Your Majesty is also here.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui raised his eyes to look at him, and the cold color in his golden pupils flashed. Youâre also here for the resources in Count Geraldâs hands, arenât you? He said lightly, âYes.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos smiled slightly, as if he didnât hear the coldness in Jing Suiâs words, but sighed. âI heard that Your Majesty has recently gained true love, so itâs really something to be congratulated <i>ah</i>! Ning Yu is very good, and youâre truly a match made in heaven.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Suiâs eyes suddenly turned cold!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Speaking of which, he hadnât had time to settle accounts with Carlos yet.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Last time, he only helped Ning Yu once, which made Ji Ling so sad. Thinking of how sad he should be to see the scandal between himself and Ning Yu, so he didnât let those media continue to hype it up at all, but Carlos, this guy was abnormal, not only did not suppress his reputation, but deliberately manipulated public opinion, spreading his scandal of himself and Ning Yu!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">So this time, with what intention are you doing this?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling was struggling with how to get out of Jing Sui reasonably, and he had a headache when he saw Carlos coming over, but he didnât want to suddenly hear Carlos say these words, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He hadnât even thought of this when he was nervous just now!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thinking about the gossip you read on the Internet, and then substitute your own personality, how heartbroken he must be <i>ah</i>!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In the past, he always hated Carlosâs stirring trouble, doing that bad-guy-feeling immoral thing, but this time he felt that this old guy came so timely and spoke so eloquently! I love guys like you who look at things like that!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling instantly forced out his tears, shook off Jing Suiâs hand, gritted his teeth and said sadly, âYou have Ning Yu, what do you care about me for!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">When Jing Sui heard this, his face changed slightly, so Ji Ling was really angry because of this <i>ah</i>⌠Unfortunately, even if he explained, Ji Ling would not believe it, Carlosâs trick really made him have a hard time.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Because Ji Ling made such a fuss, everyone noticed this, whatâs going on? Your Majesty and Grand Duke Carlos are against each other?! Although everyone knew that the two were not in harmony, didn't they always pretend to be friendly on the surface?!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Even Deng Dong, who was still making a fuss just now, was as quiet as a chicken, shivering, and began to realize if he had accidentally messed upâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Count Gerald and the other nobles watched the scene thoughtfully.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The feud between Jing Sui and Carlos was a well-known thing, but how did Ji Ling get involved? Ji Ling, as we all know, is a spoiled fool who has no brains, is it because of Grand Duke Ji Ting? Now is the time Jing Sui needs supportâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thinking of this, everyone showed a sudden realization. It turned out that the two were competing for the support of Grand Duke Ji Ting <i>ah</i>! Unfortunately, Ji Ling, that stupid child didnât know this, he didnât speak in any sense of proportion, he was shameless, he dared to speak so rudely to His Majesty, so presumptuous let His Majesty get off the stage, Iâm afraidâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Everyone looked at Ji Ling with pity and ridicule, afraid that Ji Ling was going to make His Majesty angry again, and at this moment they saw Jing Sui sighing slightly⌠Raised his hand to gently wipe the tears from the corner of Ji Lingâs eyes, looked at him seriously and said, âIâm not with Ning Yu, those are all rumors.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Everyone: â???â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Were they dazzled? Not only was His Majesty not angry, he also comforted this unreasonable fool? And also explained to him that he was not with Ning Yu⌠Didnât His Majesty dislike him the most?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling: â???â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Why are you doing things so repeatedly and inexplicably? While hyping up scandals on the Internet, you can still deny it to me casually. Why are you so shameless? Do you think Iâm so easy to fool!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">And why are you explaining to me? I donât want to hear it at all <i>ah</i>!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Originally, he wanted to continue to sacrifice and said I donât want to listen, I donât believe in it, but Jing Sui explained it twice and thrice. If he insisted on not believing it, he was afraid that Jing Sui would say it a few more times⌠After all, his own character loved Jing Sui with all his heart, and hearing Jing Sui say that, he should be happy and grateful to shed tears.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling, overcome with grief, tried to make the last resistance, and looked away. âBut the Internet says that, and you said before that Iâm not as good as himâŚâ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui was silent for a while and said, âIâm sorry.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling: â!!!â Now it is in the public <i>ah</i>, arenât you afraid that it will damage your reputation?!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Everyone was shocked! If just now was just shock, now itâs a shock to the MAX!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Where are we? What happened?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui didnât care what other people thought of this matter, as the Emperor of the Empire, although he couldnât do whatever he wanted, he wasnât so bad that he couldnât even defend the people he cared about⌠He just hadnât met anyone he wanted to protect before.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He wanted to pamper someone and didnât need to care about anyoneâs eyes.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui stared into Ji Lingâs eyes and said slowly and seriously, âI was biased against you before, but then I found out that I was wrong. You are not inferior to him, that dayââ you tried your best and did well.â He paused, his voice softened, âI misunderstood you⌠Please forgive me once, okay?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling looked at Jing Suiâs sincere expression and listened to his gentle words, his lips trembling slightlyâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Master, this is a Master <i>ah</i>!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">You did your homework at home, didnât you? These words are so watertight that you even rounded off what you had said earlier to humiliate me! An explanation followed by a sincere apology⌠This is a deep scheming, a deep scheming <i>ah</i>!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As a brainless fan who is obsessed with Jing Sui, listening to his beloved idol so sincerely begging for forgiveness, it will be unreasonable if he is insisting on not believing. After all, a lot of things in the previous life havenât happened yet! It is not like he is really hurting himself, at most it is just a little bit indifferentâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">If you insist on refusing to accept him, youâll really lose your character⌠At that time, let alone complete the task, whether you can save your life is a question!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After a long time, Ji Lingâs eyelashes fluttered, and with a disbelieving voice he said periodically, âYou, you really think so?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Suiâs eyes were gentle, and he bowed his head to say, âYes.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling was finally speechless, opened his mouth, didnât say anything. His body trembled slightly and the sadness in his heart had already flowed backwards into a river.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos had been standing aside, his hand holding the cane slowly tightened, his eyes were gloomy. He deliberately spread the scandal between Jing Sui and Ning Yu outside, just hoping that Ji Lingâs love for Jing Sui would die because of this. But Ji Ling only had Jing Sui in his heart, even if he was treated so indifferently before, as long as Jing Sui was willing to turn around and smile at him, he would immediately forgive himâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlosâs deep eyes flashed with a cold color, hooked his lips and smiled at Jing Sui. He let out a meaningful voice, âOh, it turns out that Your Majesty is not with Ning Yu <i>ah</i>âŚâ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui was barely able to appease Ji Ling, and seeing Carlos adding fuel to the fire, he looked into his eyes and said coldly, âOf course, I think you should know best about this matter, right?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos shrugged and smiled, âI donât understand what Your Majesty means.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">These secret battles between him and Jing Sui were impossible to talk about in public, and Ji Ling would not understand this matter, he expected that it was how to calculate Jing Sui, but it was a pity <i>ah</i>⌠Nothing could match Ji Lingâs infatuation with him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He was so jealousâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">How nice it would be if the person the teenager loved so dearly, was himself, Carlosâs eyes darkened, and dark jealousy wrapped around his heart like a poisonous snake.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling unexpectedly met Carlosâs gaze, only to feel that the way he looked at himself made his heart jump, inexplicably a little uneasy, as if he was the prey being watchedâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Shouldnât this old guy be calculating himself again and trying to use himself to block Jing Sui? Thinking of this, he subconsciously retreated to Jing Sui a little. Although Jing Sui was also very dangerous, it wasnât life threatening!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos immediately withdrew his gaze after seeing Ji Ling glance at him, and leaned closer to Jing Suiâs side, took a deep breath, suppressed the almost uncontrollable dark emotions in his heart, and wanted to snatch the boy away directly like this, imprison him by his side, so that there was nowhere for him to run to⌠But he didnât do that after all.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Because he wanted the boy to love him, and not be forced to stay by his side and look at him with hatredâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He had enough patience to keep waiting, looking for an opportunity.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui was originally very worried about whether he could appease Ji Ling or not, but at this moment, seeing him suddenly approaching him and also didnât make trouble, as if he could give him a sense of security, his heart couldnât help but soften, and for the first time, he felt that it was also a very happy thing to be relied on by someone.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In his previous life⌠he always pushed Ji Ling away again and again. How indifferent and ruthless should he be at that time, to treat a person who loved him like that?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The teenager should be pampered and cared for.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui took Ji Lingâs hand and asked him to sit down beside him, smiling softly. âWhat do you want to eat? Iâll get it for you.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling approached Jing Sui just now in order to avoid Carlos, and now he was pulled by Jing Sui to sit down beside him. He simply had a sense of desperation of being caught between a wolf in front and a tiger at the back! He really wanted to get the hell out of here <i>ah</i>!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Who could still eat at this time.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He shook his head and refused Jing Suiâs offering.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui failed to feed him, but he didnât care, he turned his head to Count Gerard and the others and said indifferently, âWhat are you all standing for, sit down.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Everyone was in a trance.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After hearing this, he came back to his senses from the shock just now, and all of them looked at His Majestyâs eyes cautiously, and looked at Ji Ling thoughtfully, thinking in his heart, what did His Majesty mean by doing this in front of the public today? Could it be that His Majesty was determined to win over the neutral party?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Or was it just deliberately competing with Grand Duke Carlos?

Seeing that Ji Ling was about to leave here, he seemed to have finally remembered something as if to let out a light laugh, narrowed his eyes, and said meaningfully, âIf Your Majesty really doesnât mean anything to Ning Yu, why would you let these rumors on the Internet go by?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui looked at the teenagerâs face, and sure enough, he fell down again and he was angry in his heart for Carlos finding fault three times. Rumors of this kind of thing, believe it or not, for others it didnât matter, but for the teenager who loved him deeply⌠it was something that couldnât be ignored.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui looked at Ji Ling and felt sorry in his heart, although he had murderous intent towards Carlos, but the teenager was more important right now.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">So he held Ji Lingâs hand tightly and took him away without hesitation.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling sat in the car, pretending to be provoked by Carlos, turning his head to look out the window, looking awkward that he wanted to believe in Jing Sui but couldnât help but be unhappy because of the rumor⌠he couldnât stop thinking about how long it would be before he got home.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Suiâs thin lips pursed slightly, and his dark eyes gazed at the side of the teenagerâs face, who was turning his head to look outside, deliberately avoiding his gaze, revealing his slender white neck, his long slender eyelashes trembling slightly, and his translucent blue eyes were like jewels in the wave.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It looked so fragile and beautiful.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He used to dislike such weak children very much, pampered, unreasonable, greedy for life, afraid of death and arrogant⌠He had all the flaws of an Imperial dandy.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">So much so that he was so tired of Ji Ling that he never even bothered to take a serious look at him and get to know him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It wasnât until the moment of his death that he finally discovered his different side, and the persistence and brightness in the teenagerâs eyes at that moment were dazzling that he had never seen before, hitting him right in the soul.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Since then, he has never forgotten that scene.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The essence underneath this skin was what involuntarily attracted him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The car slowly stopped in front of Duke Ji Tingâs residence.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling was reluctant to stay in a small space with Jing Sui, which made him feel suffocated, and he couldnât wait to jump out of the car and prepare to leave, but as soon as he went, Jing Sui suddenly grabbed his wrist and pressed against the door of the car.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">With his back against the cold, the manâs strong aura shrouded him, his handsome face became deeper in the night, and his golden pupils flashed with a palpitating lightâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling finally panicked and said, âYourâ Your MajestyâŚâ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui looked at him deeply, and for a long time, he said in a low voice, âWhen thereâs no one else, you didnât call me like that before.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling almost cried, Iâm going crazy!

Happy reading~<span><a name='more'></a></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Chapter 23: Encounter</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In his previous life, he was successfully slapped in the face, and he was confined at home during this timeââ Jing Sui promised not to punish himself on the condition that Grand Duke Ji Ting had to discipline himself well, so Grand Duke Ji Ting had no choice but to ground Ji Ling as an explanation to His Majestyâs anger.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although he was not grounded in this life, Ji Ling was also not in the mood to go out at all.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He stayed at home every day, and all day long he looked at the news on the Internet.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Not to mention, he really saw some exciting news. He thought that Jing Sui would maintain himself a lot after being reborn and he would also save the beauty heroically in the duel arena, and the direction of this life and Ning Yuâs direction was likely to be different⌠He shouldnât have let the media speculate about him and Ning Yu, but to Ji Lingâs surprise, this incident happened as usual again!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">And the overwhelming scandal actually felt even worse than the previous lifeâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">If you want to say that no one is behind it, he doesnât believe it!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This made Ji Ling a little confused, couldnât figure out Jing Suiâs attitude. According to theory, Jing Sui should not do this <i>ah</i>, didnât he show that he cared about his feelings before? Could it be that there was a problem with his previous guess? Jing Sui actually still likes Ning Yu?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This thought surprised Ji Ling, as if he was in a desperate situation, but he didnât expect Jing Sui to be reborn or willing to go through the plot! And the firing was even more serious than before!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It seemed that he still did not give up using his relationship with Ning Yu to win peopleâs hearts. After all, for an Emperor like him, compared to his grandiose endeavors, what was a little guilt for a little cannon fodder like himself? He had always been a rational person, no matter how he looked at it, being with Ning Yu was more beneficial to him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thinking about it that way, things werenât that bad!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling watched the scandal of Jing Sui and Ning Yu hyped up by the water armies on the Internet every day. This was simply his spiritual food and he was very happy to watch all kinds of gossip and when he was interested, he put on a vest to help out to shout.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But before he could be happy for a few days, another major event happened that shook the country! He couldnât even bother to pay attention to the scandal between Jing Sui and Ning Yu.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In the first Parliament proposal after Wen Yan was elected as the Speaker, Jing Sui proposed a proposal to reduce the price of genetic evolution agents, which was passed without any obstacles! According to the content of the proposal, within three years, the price of the primary genetic evolution agent would be reduced by a hundredfold, and it would be equipped to every administrative planet under the jurisdiction of the Empire!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In other words, the expensive genetic evolution agents that were once difficult for countless commoners to afford even in their entire lives would become commonplace items that anyone who worked hard would be able to obtain in the near future.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Even if the one that passed this time was only the lowest grade of ordinary genetic evolution agent, it was still a big enough event for countless commoners to celebrate with the whole world! This meant a stronger body and a longer life!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">And the low-level ones were opened, would the higher levels be far behind? Everyone was full of hope.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Suiâs reputation suddenly reached its peak, and the Internet was full of voices of gratitude. Anyone who dared to say a single bad word about him would be attacked by countless people!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">His Majesty had fulfilled his promise and had really opened up the genetic evolution agent that was completely in the hands of the nobles before!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Those nobles who were dissatisfied with this were suppressed by this terrible public opinion and did not dare to speak up. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Compared with this incident, the scandal between Jing Sui and Ning Yu had become insignificant, after all, it was only about Ning Yu alone, and those who were concerned were the melon eaters; And this was something that really changed the entire Empire, benefiting countless people, and was related to everyone, enough to go down in history and changed the pattern of the Empire.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Even Ji Ling could see the far-reaching impact of this incident on the Empire.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Countless nobles were gnashing their teeth in secret.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But what really shocked him was not the huge influence of this matter, but the fact that a proposal from Jing Sui in the previous life was rejected and didnât pass! </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wen Yan and Carlos colluded to control the majority of the seats in the parliament, but Wen Yan, as the commoner Speaker, turned against him and caused Jing Suiâs proposal to be rejected. Jing Sui was scolded for this for a long time, and everyone said that he was a hypocritical Emperor and that his so-called proposal was just for show.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although Ji Ling knew that the protagonist would definitely win in the end, the colluding between Wen Yan and Carlos did cause Jing Sui a lot of trouble.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But this timeââ Jing Sui succeeded!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This meant that Wen Yan not only fell out with Carlos, he even sided with Jing Sui.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">How was this possible?!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wen Yan was really an unreliable two-faced guy <i>ah</i>âŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling paced back and forth in the room, frowning. The change in this matter was even more disturbing to him than Jing Suiâs rebirth, because this was no longer a matter of petty love, but a major event related to the course of the entire world.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although this was a good thing for this world, it was also too much of a deviation from the plot and had changed the entire direction of the world.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling nervously asked the system: [What do you think about this matter?]</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The system was also nervous this time, not daring to be careless, and said seriously: [Iâm going to go back to the headquarters to find out whatâs going on.

Or did he expect it?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After all, Wen Yan had probably broken up with him since the last election.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Speaking of which, he hadnât seen that old guy Carlos for a few days, and Wen Yan hadnât appeared in front of him recently, which made him a little more relaxed.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">And Ji Ling knew that there would be another big event in a few days.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Soon after, the news that the Nado Galaxy was invaded by the Zerg would come, because this time there were two Zerg Empress leading the team, so Jing Sui would personally drive the expedition, and Ning Yu would also shine again in this battle, and determine the relationship with Jing Sui, which was an important plot in the original book.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was also in that battle that he accidentally saved Brandon. On the way back, he experienced the most dangerous return trip.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But now all this had become unknown, and Ji Ling was also hesitant to follow the past like in the previous life, after all, many people and things had changed.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">On this day, he suddenly received an invitation from Deng Dong.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Speaking of which, ever since the last time he and Deng Dong kidnapped Ning Yu together and he made sure that Deng Dongâs life wasnât in danger, he hadnât contacted him again and was busy with his own business going on⌠This made Ji Ling a little embarrassed, as if he was just using him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Out of compensation, and it was indeed a little boring to stay at home all day, Ji Ling agreed to Deng Dongâs invitation and decided to go out to breathe.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Probably because of the lesson he learned last time, this time Deng Dong did not ask Ji Ling to go to any messy places, but invited him to attend a banquet at Earl Geraldâs house.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Earl Geraldâs family was also an old nobleman of the Empire, and the family was very wealthy, because the unique crystals produced by one of the energy planets he owns were one of the main raw materials for the production of genetic evolution agents and every year he provided a large number of raw materials for the production of genetic evolution agents for several super factories.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Earl Gerald not only held important resources in his hands, but also had a source of people, often organizing various banquets in his own home, and was very well-liked on the Imperial Star.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">When Ji Ling went, he found that Deng Dong was already waiting there, and to his surprise, Lodz was actually there as well.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Deng Dong looked at him excitedly and ran over like a dog. âYoung Master Ji, you are finally here.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lodz followed behind, like a cold palace abandoned concubine who had fallen out of favor, revealing a stiff smile. âYoung Master Ji.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling saw that his new love and old love were all hereââ He didnât feel uncomfortable at all.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hehe, compared to that group of reborn scary big brothers, this group of little dog, although they were a little bit worse for people, a little bit more scrubby in appearance, and their personalities were a little obscene, but at least it made it easy for him to get along with them, and he wouldnât be afraid of accidentally revealing himself and losing his life <i>ah</i>.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji ling had also participated in a lot of this kind of banquet in the previous life, but he was very comfortable. It was nothing more than eating and drinking together and chatting gossip.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Well, there was still the possibility of dating, but this entertainment, which was highly sought after by the nobles of the Empire, had always been excluded by Ji Ling.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Deng Dongâs injuries were obviously all healed, he was a typical character who remembered to eat but not remember to fight, did not blame Ji Lingâs bad idea for causing him to be beaten, but he never forgot Ji Lingâs behavior of jumping out to defend him, being thankful, and couldnât wait to sacrifice himself for Ji Ling! Donât say how attentive he is to himself.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lodz didnât dare to find Ji Ling to fool around because he was warned by Carlos before, who knew that while he did not appear for a while, and the first position of Ji Lingâs lackey was occupied by Deng Dong, a guy who was not on the rise. His heart was sour, and he was secretly jealous, holding himself to be an old man next to Ji Ling, and sneered at Deng Dong in all kinds.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Didnât look at this corner as it was relatively remote, but the intrigue was so intense.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling rubbed his forehead, his gaze looking out as if he hadnât seen anything.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Fortunately, Deng Dong was a rough line. Although he vaguely felt that Lodzâs attitude was strange, as if he was targeting himself, he didnât take it to heart, and thought that Lodz had always had this style of speaking. His attention was on Ji Lingâs side, and he suddenly gossiped with him in a small, nervous voice and said, âYoung Master Ji, do you know? Not long ago, another bank of genetic evolution agents was looted.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling raised his eyebrows, finally showing some interest in his eyes.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">You must know that genetic evolution agents are the foundation of the Empireâs survival, and they are the most important thing for the nobles of the Empire. Every gene evolution agent library was heavily guarded by the Empire, not to mention being looted, even ordinary people couldnât even get close, and any act of snatching and smuggling genetic evolution agents was a capital crime! The genetic evolution agent library was looted, and as far as Ji Ling knew, there was only one possibilityâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Sure enough, Deng Dong continued, âNot long after the results of this proposal came out, the Gene Evolution Agent Bank on Saka Star was looted by the rebels, and even the SS-class evolutionary lord who was guarding it was killed by Gabriel, the commander of the rebel. Itâs said that none of the Imperial Nobles and soldiers present at that time were spared and the blood was spilledâŚâ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">When he said this, there was a look of fear in his eyes.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Gabrielââ The mysterious leader of the rebels was the only commoner evolutionary who could make the nobles of the empire jealous and reluctant to even mention his name.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In the eyes of these high-ranking imperial nobles, any commoner, even if it was an SS-class evolutionary, or a commoner idol like Ning Yu, no matter how strong they were, would not be placed in their eyes. Even if they made a momentary appearance, so what, in front of the powerful imperial nobles, the so-called commoner evolutionary would ultimately be nothing more than for them to use, for them to drive, and to follow the rules they set.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Even a national idol like Ning Yu, a rising star, could be wantonly scorned and humiliated in the mouths of these dudes like Lodz. The higher races didnât really respect the lower races from the bottom of their hearts just because they had a slightly more powerful person in the lower races.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But Gabriel was different, he was the only exception.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He also didnât need the respect of the Empireâs nobles, because he made them fearful.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">No one knew what he looked like, who he was, or even what his real name was. He wore a silver mask whenever he appeared, and his movements were mysterious⌠But every time he appeared, the nobles of the Empire couldnât wait to get rid of him, hated and feared him, and there was nothing they could do about it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In the end, because he was so powerful that the Empire could not do anything about it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As a commoner, he had the strength of an SSS-class evolutionary⌠It was important to realize that in the entire huge Imperial Nobles, the only ones with SSS-class strength on the surface were Brandon and Jing Sui!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">An evolutionary with this kind of strength could tear a mech and crack a battleship with his bare hands⌠It was almost the same as the myth in Ji Lingâs impression.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although it seemed to be only one level higher than the SS-class, the difference in strength was astronomical, and it referred to a super strength that could hardly be measured by data.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui was an Imperial Family of the Empire, and Brandon was an Imperial Noble. They possessed noble bloodlines and rich resources, but for many years, there were only two such strong people in the Empire.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">And that mysterious Gabriel, no one knew his identity, only that he should be a commoner, but he could have this strength on his own.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling thought that perhaps this was the real reason why Jing Sui was truly afraid of the rebels and determined to change the status quo.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">No matter how many weak people there were, they didnât take them seriously, but a strong person like Gabriel, one was enough to give the Empire a headache. As long as he didnât get his head in the water and came to the Emperor Star to send him to death or reveal his identity, he could come and go freely in any other place. His hands were stained with the blood of the nobles, which made countless Imperial Nobles fearful.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui and Brandon could kill him, but with the identities of Jing Sui and Brandon, it was impossible for them to stoop to the level of hunting down a fugitive with mysterious whereabouts all over the world.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A few destructive weapons could also kill him, but Gabriel was so cunning and smart, never staying in one place for too long, not giving others a chance to use the weapons of destruction at all, so that made people helpless.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">His birth showed that there was a loophole in the previous ruling model of the Empire, and such an uncontrollable powerhouse could be born among the commoners.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">So powerful that it had rendered the entire Empire helpless.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">There was only one now⌠But what if there were two, three, four later?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">For Jing Sui, Gabriel himself might not be so terrifying. No matter how strong he was, he was just one person, his personal strength could not compete with the powerful Empire after all, others would be afraid of him but Jing Sui would not. As long as he dared to appear in the Emperor Star or revealed his identity, he would definitely die⌠But the infinite possibilities he represented was what really made Jing Sui scornful.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">When there were more and more of these natural evolutionaries, would there be more and more of them, under the leadership of such a powerhouse, becoming disgruntled and trying to overthrow the Empire? It might take a long timeâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But Jing Sui looked far away, he saw the existence of this possibility, even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance, he would not allow such a thing to happen, and he would not allow his Imperial rule to be shaken, so he chose to take the initiative to change this status quo, so that these commoners could really become a part of the Empire, and they could get what they wanted without having to rebel.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In this way, there would be no longer any need for the rebels, the conflict would disappear, and the power of the Nobles would be weakened, no longer posing any threat to the Imperial power.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui could have an incomparably powerful country that was completely under his control, and he would become the sole supreme ruler.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This was Jing Suiâs real purpose.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">From this point of view alone, Ji Ling admired him, because in fact, from the current situation, the Empire was extremely prosperous and stable, and it was not time for reform at all, but Jing Sui saw the variables that might exist after countless years, had such courage to make such a decision, rather than wait the contradiction could not be reconciled before trying to make amends, which was by no means something that ordinary person could do.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Because usually when a person was sitting on everything, it was difficult to want to risk making such a change, because he was challenging the interests of the entire Imperial Nobles, and the rules that had been ingrained for countless years.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Once failed, he would be doomed.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As for GabrielâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Murderous, cold-blooded, perverted, cruel⌠All kinds of terrible words were piled up on him, and the Imperial Nobles did not hesitate to describe this man in the most vicious terms, describing him as a sociopathic and inhuman terrorist.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Scolding Gabriel was politically correct behavior for any Imperial Nobles. They used vicious words to hide their fear and scorn. The media and public opinion controlled by the nobles also suppressed him in various ways, with the purpose of discrediting him, isolating him, and making people dare not approach him to support him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In fact, at first, Ji Ling also believed some of the words that described Gabriel, but later he felt that it was a smear campaign against him by the Imperial Nobles because⌠He had seen this man with his own eyes.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In the Zerg invasion not long after, in the previous life, he forcibly begged his father to let him go to the Nado Galaxy with Jing Sui in order to follow the plot, and just on the return trip at the end of the battle, Ji Ling was betrayed by Carlos to the rebels.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was one of the most dangerous experiences he had ever had in his previous life.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos and Jing Sui fought in full swing, and seeing that Jing Sui and Ning Yu were once again rose to fame in the battle, not wanting to see Jing Sui satisfied, he had his men betray him. As a famous high noble, if he was looted and killed by the murderous rebels, then even if Jing Sui no longer liked him, he must give an account for his deathââ He must send troops to suppress the rebels and avenge himself.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">However, those rebels were secretive and good at hiding, and were covered by the populace, so once the repression began, manslaughter and bloody massacres were inevitable.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Then the image of being close to the people that Jing Sui painstakingly created would also be ruined.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos used this method to force Jing Sui to make a choice, and he was just a pawn he chose to throw out, which was used to arouse the noblesâ strong dissatisfaction with the rebels.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">At that time, Ji Ling was captured by the rebels, and his courage was about to burst, he was really scared!

But when he finally left, he suddenly understood, because Gabriel also saw through Carlosâs conspiracy, and did not want to provoke a war between commoners and nobles at this time, to be used by Carlos to spill the blood of countless innocents.

He held him and sat him on his lap. The child looked at the coffee he drank, wrinkled his little brows and asked, âWhy does Daddy drink medicine every day?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âItâs not medicine, itâs coffee.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The child insisted, âItâs medicine, bitter medicine.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">His son treated all bitter things as medicine, and he was very tenacious, just like his mother.

Lin Xiyu sat down a little away from Lu Junting at this time, and the child ran over to her and she subconsciously embraced him. She had not slowed down yet, the child said something to her and she didnât hear it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She felt puzzled. What was it like ? She actually didnât dare to look at Lu Junting at this time because his eyes looked evil.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Juntingâs gaze swept towards her, Lin Xiyu subconsciously sat up straight. In order to relieve this unexplained tension, she hurriedly held her son in her arms.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting felt that she was very strange, didnât she like him to wear these clothes? He deliberately wore it for her to see, but she didnât even look at it more.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âI donât have a morning meeting today, I'll give you a ride to work later.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu nodded. âOkay.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The two finished breakfast, got into the car one after another. Lin Xiyu regretted it when she got in the car. How did she agree to let him send her to work? His breath simply everyone, smelling his smell, she felt even more uncomfortable.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This discomfort was not the same as the uneasiness of facing him before. The uneasiness before was mostly out of fear of him, but now, this kind of uneasiness came from an unfamiliar tension, the kind of feeling that even just smelling him would make oneâs hands and feet feel at a loss, or even feel almost suffocated.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Especially at this time, sitting with him, some pictures were unconsciously playing back in her mind and she remembered that in the past, as long as they sat together, he would always be close to her, either by putting his arm around her waist or hooking her shoulder.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thinking of this, her heart was clenching and about to suffocate was more obvious, yet she found that she was actually looking forward to it a little, even though she was all tense and uncomfortable at the moment, she was looking forward to him sitting a little closer, looking forward to him being closer to her.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu wondered if she was sick.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting was not the same as her thoughts at this time, in the confined space of the car, he could smell her at any time. This smell was very light, but it made him realize that she was sitting next to him at any time. Lu Junting never had meat after divorcing her, and for a carnivore who had not eaten meat, it was easy to imagine how much the sudden smell of meat seduced him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The only thing Lu Junting wanted to do now was to hold her down and kiss her hard. But if he did that, he was afraid that the little girl would think he was crazy, maybe even more afraid of him. It was a pity to screw up so hard to hope that she would turn back.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting could only endure it, enduring it until he was hot. He subconsciously unbuttoned two of his shirt buttons and propped his elbows on his knees to slowly calm the messy thoughts that raced through his mind.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although Lin Xiyu had been sitting obediently, the afterglow fell on him from time to time, and his action of unbuttoning naturally fell into her eyes. Lin Xiyu felt that she was finished, she actually felt that his action of unbuttoning was so good, showing a kind of wild unruliness, and the posture of his elbows against the knees also gave a kind of confident atmosphere of everyone under control.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu came back to his senses and shook his head. Oh my God, what was wrong with her, from when exactly did his every move actually attracted her.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The two had their own thoughts, and the car was already driven to the entrance of the club.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âThen, Iâll go first.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âEn.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She had thought that not having to face him after getting out of the car would make it easier for her, but as she watched the car drive away, she actually had a feeling of reluctance.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu found that not only she began to be overwhelmed by Lu Juntingâs attraction, but also became a little clingy to him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting had said that he would pick her up after work, but Lin Xiyu didnât expect him to come so quickly, and she saw the familiar car right after she came out of the club.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">At this time, Lu Junting leaned lazily, the belt was tied around his waist to tie his tight waist, lengthening his leg-to-body ratio, slender and straight legs were crossed at will. Today the temperature was a little bit dropping, and he added a vest over his shirt, tightly closed to his body, and the arc of his muscle was perfect.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He hadnât worn it like this before, but seeing him at this time, she had a feeling of brightening up, and she was really amazed by him. At that moment, the surrounding scenery seemed to have faded, the early summer season, colorful, but they all fell back behind him, became an illusory background. She could only see him, he just casually stood there, but firmly attracted her attention.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was really inexplicable, the more she looked at Mr. Lu now, the more she felt pleasant?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting naturally saw his wife, but she was not alone, and she was accompanied by a few colleagues. He suddenly remembered that the girl did not want outsiders to know about her marriage, she liked quietness and liked to keep a low profile, and Lu Junting had a certain popularity in Ancheng, so she even more did not want people to know that her husband was him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The colleagues around Lin Xiyu noticed that she had been staring at the man across the street and one of them nudged her and asked, âGrand Aunt, do you know him?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu only then came back to her senses from being stunned by Lu Junting, who hung his head slightly and was considering whether or not to pretend he didnât recognize her, and then he heard that girl say to someone, âHeâs my husband.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting froze for a moment, she directly told someone his identity? Didnât she always hate people knowing about her marriage?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Those colleagues were shocked when they heard this, because Lin Xiyu was young, they didnât expect her to be married, but everyone was very self-aware, and joked about her a few times before excusing themselves.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu walked over and said, âLetâs go.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting reacted as he held back the smile that was about to float on his face, and helped her pull open the car door. On the way back, Lu Junting was in a good mood.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu also realized that she had a very strange feeling for Lu Junting, anyway, it became different from before, but she was not too repulsed by this feeling.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She used to always be at a loss when faced with Lu Juntingâs closeness, but now she actually began to look forward to his initiative to approach, but since the two of them had been living together again, he had been very peaceful, and had even become cautious. The previous habit of hugging and cuddling as soon as they sat down together was also gone now.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu felt this time she and Lu Junting remarried, they could slightly change the way they got along, and she shouldnât be passive as she was before.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">So, sitting in the car, Lin Xiyu thought about whether she should take the initiative first, but she looked at the man in front of her with a strong aura, and she didnât dare.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After trying several times without success, Lin Xiyu sighed softly and secretly thought, just, it was better to take it slow, no need to be so deliberate.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After returning home, Lin Xiyu first took the child to play for a while, fed him something to eat, and Lin Xiyu asked, âLittle Baby, what do you want to eat tomorrow?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Little Baby replied without hesitation, âShrimp dumplings.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Little Baby loved to eat shrimp dumplings, and Lin Xiyu said, âThatâs fine, mommy will make them for you.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Speaking of this, Lin Xiyu glanced at Lu Junting again. Lu Junting was sitting in the dining table to eat, and Lin Xiyu asked him, âWhat does brother Junting want to eat tomorrow?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting naturally heard the conversation between the mother and son, but he didnât expect to have his share. Although the person might just ask him in passing, Lu Junting was still happy in his heart.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âJust let the chef do it, youâre tired from work, so just sleep well in the morning.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu said, âItâs okay, I get up early in the morning and I donât have much to do, so brother Junting can request anything you want to eat.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âWhatever, I can eat anything.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âThen weâll make shrimp dumplings together.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Youâre really doing it for him <i>ah</i>? Lately, he was quite able to stick to the light of the cub.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Early the next morning, Lin Xiyu got up early, saying that she was going to make shrimp dumplings for the father and son. She didnât know if she hadnât been in the kitchen for a long time, and Lin Xiyu didnât pay attention to being cut when chopping shrimp meat.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She hurriedly came out of the kitchen and was about to look for a first aid kit, just in time to see Lu Junting coming down from upstairs. She didnât know why, after she realized that she had developed a strange feeling towards Lu Junting, she had a strange feeling of dependence towards him, this feeling of dependence prompted her to want to be cared for by him and wanted to cling to him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">So as soon as she looked at him, she made a pitiful look and said, âBrother Junting, what should I do? I hurt my hand.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting saw that her fingers were bleeding, and he quickly came down from the stairs, his brows tightened and his face was tense. âWhatâs going on?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">His expression startled Lin Xiyu, so much so that she didnât dare to make a pitiful expression to win sympathy anymore, she said carefully, âI⌠accidentally cut my hand when cutting the meat.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âDidnât I tell you to let the chef do it? Itâs really good to do something simple, why do you still take a knife?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">His expression looked a bit fierce, Lin Xiyu originally wanted to argue, she just wanted to make breakfast for the father and son herself, but in the face of his condensed expression, she just opened her mouth but couldnât speak.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âCome with me.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting grabbed her wrist and pulled her to the storage room, Lin Xiyu didnât dare to say a word, like a primary school student who had been reprimanded by the head teacher, obediently following behind him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting took out the medical kit, found a cotton swab alcohol anti-inflammatory drug, skillfully moved. His slender fingers flew, and the things to be used were soon neatly set laid out by him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu felt that his hands were really nice looking, with well boned fingertips, he was pinching her wrist with one hand and holding cotton dipped in alcohol with a cotton swab in the other.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu felt that the fingers pinching her wrist also had a warm and delicate feeling, and she had done something more intimate with Lu JUnting before, but it was not as strong as the feeling of being pinched by her wrist at this moment. Her heart was sour and swollen, and her heartbeat was inexplicably speeding up.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She felt as if she had entered a pink space, filled with pink bubbles, surrounded by beautiful surroundings, like a dream. Until the pain of the alcohol hitting the wound pulled her back to her senses, she bared her teeth in pain.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He heard her âhissâ and subconsciously softened his movements, asking, âDoes it hurt?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She nodded. âA little.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The action that fell on her wound was eased, disinfected, coated her with anti-inflammatory drug, and helped her wrap the gauze. When the fingers wrapped around the gauze, the splendid knuckles flexibly turned, and Lin Xiyu felt that his hand was as beautiful as a work of art.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Knotting the gauze, Lu Junting said to her, âChange the medicine every other day, donât let it touch water.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">His temperament was calm and steady, and when he spoke seriously, he had the feeling of an adult ordering a child to do things, and Lin Xiyu also felt as if she had turned into a child and obediently nodded her head.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She and Lu Junting came out of the storage room one after another. Lu Junting was going to have a morning meeting and left first. After he had gone for a long time, Lin Xiyu looked at the wound taht was neatly wrapped by him and still exuded a sense of joy. She didnât know what she was happy about but when she thought that he had just carefully bandaged the wound for her, she had a feeling of heart blooming with joy.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although this feeling made her very strange, she did not feel any sense of rejection.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting came back from the morning meeting and saw that there were more people in his office. Liu Junting was not surprised, anyway, Xiao Ziâang also liked to come to his side to eat and drink, but looking at the snacks and coffee in front of Xiao Ziâang, he still habitually said, âYou really donât take yourself as outsider.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Xiao Ziâang said, âWho are we with each other <i>ah</i>?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting didnât want to pay attetnion to him, sat down at the desk and began to deal with things. Xiao Ziâang took a sip of coffee and couldnât help gossiping, âI heard that youâre going to remarry Xiao Xiyu?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was not a secret that he and Lin Xiyu were going to remarry, and it wasnât surprising that Xiao Ziâang knew about it, Lu Junting didnât even raise his head for a second and said, âYeah, whatâs wrong?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âAh? Do you really want to remarry <i>ah</i>?â Xiao Ziâang was stunned. âI remember that you were quite stiff when you divorced. I heard that you even have to keep you calm as big boss Lu and almost kneel down to beg her, but Xiao Xiyu still left.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting glared at him from the bottom up. At this angle, his eyes were outlined very sharply, and Xiao Ziâang subconsciously winced and temporarily stopped his mouth.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After being silent for a while, Xiao Ziâang still didnât hold back, and continued to ask, âAt that time, you divorced with a kind of energy that wouldnât go back even to death. How come you suddenly want to remarry again?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting let out a cold snort from the end of his nose and said, âWhat else can it be, the person misses the son.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âYou mean Xiao Xiyu remarried you because of Xiao Chengmao?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âOtherwise?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âWhy donât you say itâs because of you?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting glanced at him again, and he then sneered mockingly. âBecause of me? The person doesnât have me in heart, because of me?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âTsk tsk tsk.â Xiao Ziâang let out a sigh from the bottom of his heart. âI really didnât expect to see you, Lu Junting in my lifetime, to be frustrated, since childhood you are the child of other peopleâs families, and everything good was occupied by you. I really didnât expect <i>ah</i>, didnât expect that you actually overturned by the hand of a woman, a little girl can tossed you like this.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">When Lu Jutning looked at Xiao Ziâang again, there was obviously more killing intent under his eyes, Xiao Ziâang accepted it when he saw it, just afraid of bumping into him on the knife, and drank the last sip of coffee, got up and said, âCoffee is finished, I wonât bother you anymore.â After speaking, he ran away in a huff.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting leaned heavily on the back of his chair, a fire stirred up by Xiao Ziâang words, and his face looked horribly sunken. But he also had to admit that he was really in someone else's hand, unable to do anything but be led around by that soft little girl.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu called Lu Yuan after work and asked her to accompany her to buy two nice clothes.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The two met at the shopping mall they frequented, and Lu Yuan asked her, âWhy do you suddenly want to buy clothes?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âIsnât this a change of season? I want to pick out some new clothes, you have good eyes, help me choose.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Yuan helped her pick out a few sets, among which there was a black velvet mini dress she liked very much, a long-sleeved waist long dress, with a circle of white lace embellishment on the collar, black velvet vintage, a circle of while lace trimmed just right, so that the color was not so monotonous and old-fashioned. And the skirt was well cut, perfectly outlining the advantages of her figure, long legs, thin waist and full breasts. The more Lin Xiyu looked, the more she liked it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Yuan said, âIf you like it so much, why donât you just wear this back?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hearing this, Lin Xiyuâs first thought was that when she wore this outfit, she didnât know if brother Junting would like it when he saw it. Thinking of this, she couldnât help but smile, it was really strange, why did she think about whether he liked it or not.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">However, Lu Yuanâs proposal was good and she could go back like this. Because Lin Xiyu came back late after shopping at the mall, Lu Junting had already returned when she came back.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The weather was getting warmer and it was getting dark, and when Lin Xiyu went back, the father and son were flying kites in the backyard. Lu Chengmao took a small kite and ran in front, and Lu Junting followed behind.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âRan faster, or you wonât be able to fly the kite.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As soon as Lu Juntingâs words fell, the child running in front fell to the ground with a pop. Lu Junting put his hands in his pockets, and he didnât mean to help at all.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âStand up yourself.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The little guy didnât cry or make trouble, obediently stood up and patted the mud on his body, and continued to run with the kite. Looking at this scene, Lin Xiyu was quite surprised, but she didnât expect that her familyâs Little Baby was quite tough.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu walked to the backyard, the little guy quickly saw her, he was happy, and the kite was not released. He ran over with his little short legs, and Lin Xiyu squatted down to hug him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âMom, Little Baby fell down.â The little guy who was still strong just a moment ago, said with a grievance as soon as she hugged his mother, his little mouth pouting and his big eyes flashing, âDaddyâs so mean.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting stepped forward and said with a cold snort, âYouâve even learned to sue?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The little guy threw himself into his motherâs arms aggrieved and said, âMom, hug.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu was about to hug him, but the little guy thought of something and said, âDonât donât, Iâm dirty now, and will get mommy dirty too.â He stretched out his little finger to point at the dirt rubbing on his knee, and Lin Xiyu laughed, âItâs okay.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The little guy pushed her away, ran away in a huff, saying while running, âLet Auntie wash me first, and then give mommy a hug.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He was small and short-legged, and when he went up the steps, his little body shrank up on its back, a round body that looked very cute.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As soon as Little Baby left, only Lu Junting and Lin Xiyu were left in the backyard. Lu Junting found that the dress she was wearing today was very special, and it seemed like he hadnât seen it before.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu just squatted down to hug Little Baby, slowly stood up at this time, just when there was a gust of wind, her long hair was blown by the wind. She subconsciously stroked it with her hand, and the hemline of her long skirt was blown to flap up, and at that moment, Lu Junting felt that she was like a butterfly spreading its wings, as if it was going to fly away if he didnât pay attention.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He even had the urge to run over and hold her in his arms.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu lifted her blow-dried hair behind her ear, revealing a small, fair face, and she gave him a faint smile as she greeted him, âBrother Junting.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Seeing her smile, Lu Junting felt that his breathing was chaotic, so he lowered his head slightly to adjust his breathing. He couldnât lose his temper, he couldnât scare her, it was hard to expect the person to come back, so he couldnât scare her away.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">When he looked up again, his expression had returned to calm. He even pretended to be calm and replied, âWhy are you back so late today?â However, the hands in the trouser pockets were clenched into fists, and the palms of the hands were already sweaty.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âWent to buy some clothes.â She lifted the hem of her skirt and showed it to him, âThis is new too, does it look good?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She was still smiling at him, a light smile, and his clenched hands tightened. She really needed to stop smiling at him like that, his self-control wasnât that good.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But his face was still calm, and he said, âItâs quite nice.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">If it was quite nice, then it should be liked as well. Lin Xiyu was satisfied with his answer.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âBy the way, Little Babyâs birthday is coming up. How does brother Junting plan to do it for him?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting said, âAsk him what he wants, and do what he says.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Little Baby was taken by the nanny to take a bath and changed clothes. Lin Xiyu and Lu Junting came back from the backyard one after another. As soon as Little Baby saw Lin Xiyu, he threw himself into her arms and said happily, âLittle Baby is not dirty, Little Baby smells good.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu hugged him on the sofa, rubbing his nose. âEn, smells good, smells good, give your mommy a sniff.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Xiao Chengmao was amused by his mother and giggled, Lu Junting sat on the side. Although the one who was amused was not him, but somehow his heart also followed the joy.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âLittle Babyâs birthday is coming, tell mommy what Little Baby wants to do.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Xiao Chengmao thought about it and replied, âI want cream, lots and lots of it.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu nodded. âOkay, then Iâll make a big cake for Little Baby.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Little Baby raised his small fist to the top of his head. âYay, eat a big cake.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">At night, Lin Xiyu took care of Little Baby but she could not fall asleep. She looked at the dress on her body, she thought of the look that Lu Junting looked at her just now, he seemed to like it, so why not let it play a role again.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu took the manuscript she had designed for Changheng and hesitated in front of Lu Juntingâs study for a while before knocking on the door.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âCome in.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu pushed the door in, and Lu Junting thought that the nanny came in to deliver coffee, so he was surprised to see that it was Lin Xiyu. He temporarily put down his hand and asked, âDo you need anything from me?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu said, âI want to ask brother Junting about the design of Changheng billboard, after all, the final design draft still has to be agreed by brother Junting, so I simply come to ask you directly.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âCome here.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu obediently took the design draft, and Lu Junting glanced at it and briefly stated his point of view. At this time, Lin Xiyu was standing next to Lu Junting, and from this angle she could see Lu Juntingâs arms and thighs very clearly. She suddenly remembered that when he used to talk to her, he especially liked to pull her on his lap and hold her. He had to deliberately lean into her ear and speak, it was very bad.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting said a few words without getting her reaction, he looked up at her. She stood next to him, her eyes looking straight at him, and he followed her eyes, and found that she was looking at his thighsâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He really didnât expect that the usually shy little girl would stare at such a delicate part of him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She was still wearing this sexy outfit and looked at him like this.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Juntingâs body heated up almost instantly as he pulled his tie.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Canât take it anymore, damn it!</span></div></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">----------</span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><div><span style="font-size: large;">If you like my translation, please support me by buying me a coffee:</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><span><a href="https://ko-fi.com/oyen0710">https://ko-fi.com/oyen0710</a> </span><span>or </span><a href="https://trakteer.id/oyens">https://trakteer.id/oyens</a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b style="color: #e69138;"><span><span><a href="https://www.oyensblog.com/2023/10/using-marriage-as-bait-chapter-45.html">Previous Chapter</a> |</span></span></b><b><span><span><span style="color: #cc0000;"> </span><span style="color: #e69138;"><a href="https://www.oyensblog.com/p/using-marriage-as-bait.html">Table of Content</a> </span></span></span></b><span style="color: #e69138;"><b><span><span>| </span></span></b><b><span><span>Next Chapter</span></span></b></span></span></div></div>Oyenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02923874792286361037noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-257116854364522428.post-88255010723806608882023-10-20T13:54:00.003+07:002023-10-24T13:12:33.363+07:00Using Marriage as Bait : Chapter 45<div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKFNxwcEJ3tZLNxvVcJN_j6mXis2myXQAX-l74DbmCnLlt1U4MHpMmBDy5i2cESuA5O1fcjGQWFpyDB5C9KVrMymKpy2SeFrvKozWsPxmaYDmlevexVJWZODDKlsc4jyuTNKuMwppTazip6WUuXdBmCPn8eD6F-AEOq1iq298XlnNI9Y_nI8YTayKy1vM/s1200/using%20marriage%20as%20bait1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="1200" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKFNxwcEJ3tZLNxvVcJN_j6mXis2myXQAX-l74DbmCnLlt1U4MHpMmBDy5i2cESuA5O1fcjGQWFpyDB5C9KVrMymKpy2SeFrvKozWsPxmaYDmlevexVJWZODDKlsc4jyuTNKuMwppTazip6WUuXdBmCPn8eD6F-AEOq1iq298XlnNI9Y_nI8YTayKy1vM/w640-h214/using%20marriage%20as%20bait1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>Happy Reading~<span><a name='more'></a></span><b>Chapter 45: Very Attractive to Women</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It didnât take long to touch, but Lin Xiyu moved his head away, not feeling embarrassed, and did not dare to look at the man.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting retracted his hand and scraped the tip of the little guyâs nose, and the little guy was very happy, humming and giggling. They didnât know what he was happy about, but was even more happy than he was.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The more Lu Junting looked at his son, the more satisfied he felt. This little cub was really a lucky star, trying to keep him in every possible way was the most correct thing he had done in his life.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu received a call from Changhengâs Publicity Department shortly after she went to work the next day, asking her to come to Changheng and bring her design drafts.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Yesterday she rejected the deputy manager, and today Changheng contacted her over. Lin Xiyu guessed, mostly because she refused the deputy managerâs unreasonable request, so the other party wanted to put her into place, so it was probably not a good thing to call her to Changheng in such a hurry. However, Lin Xiyu did not force the matter of the manuscript, she and Changheng were in contact because she wanted to see Lu Junting and the child, now she and Lu Junting were planning to remarry, cooperation or not, it didnât matter. Regardless of the attitude of the other side, since they wanted her to go, then she would go.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu came to Changheng as promised, in addition to the deputy manager Wu Lin, the general manager He Shuo was also there. The designer of the advertising agency was also there, and there were several employees of Changheng, who seemed to be not shallow in seniority.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After Lin Xiyu arrived, Wu Lin said directly, âDidnât I say last time that Iâd give you two a reply in a few days. So I called everyone over today to give you an answer.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wu Lin originally planned to severely degrade Lin Xiyuâs design draft in front of people to dampen her spirit, who knew that before he spoke, he saw He Shou suddenly received a call, and after hanging up the phone, his face changed, and he hurriedly stood up and said, âWait first, President Lu is coming.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">When the others heard this, their faces changed drastically, and they all got up.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu secretly thought, was the president Lu in He Shuoâs mouth Lu Junting?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Sure enough, soon after He Shuo went out, he came in with a tall and straight figure, who was it if not Lu Junting?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu suddenly saw this man, and her heartbeat unconsciously went a few beats faster. When Lin Xiyu was a teenager, she never encountered boys that could make her heartbeat faster at a glance, but she didnât expect after she got married and had a child, she was like a young girlâs heart that beat faster when seeing her childâs father.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu felt that Lu Junting was a poisonous man.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As soon as Lu Junting came in, the people in the room got up to greet him, and Lu Junting said, âNo need to be polite, just sit down.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After sitting down, He Shou said, âPresident Lu came just in time, we are discussing the issue of the design draft. President Lu should see if there is anything satisfactory first.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He Shuo handed over the two design drafts and Lu Junting glanced at it casually. There was a signature under the design draft, of course, it would be impossible for him to not recognize his wifeâs signature. He held Lin Xiyuâs draft and said, âThe two words âChanghengâ Miss Lin designed are quite distinctive, worthy of doing calligraphy, your writing is very artistic.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Complimenting her in such an official tone in front of so many people really made her quite embarrassed. Lin Xiyuâs smile wasnât quite natural and said, âMr. Lu overpraised.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting said, âI just passed by here, and I heard that the matter of Changhengâs new billboard was being discussed here, so I stopped by to take a look, I hope I didnât disturb you.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He Shuo hurriedly said, âOf course not.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting stood up and said, âYou guys can do your business first and get busy, I still have things to do.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He Shuo hurriedly got up and sent him off. âTake care, President Lu.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Because Lu Junting came, there was no doubt that all of Wu Linâs plans had been disrupted. He had wanted to put down Lin Xiyuâs draft in front of the people, and then swept her out of this collaboration, so that she would know how powerful he was. Who knew that big boss Lu suddenly came, and directly affirmed Lin Xiyuâs draft in front of people. Everyone could see that President Lu was satisfied with Lin Xiyuâs draft, if he still used the draft given by the advertising company, wasnât this deliberately going against big boss Lu? Although Wu Linâs uncle was a shareholder of Changheng, Lu Junting was the chairman of the board of directors, of course he did not have the ability to go against Lu Junting.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">So then everyone voted unanimously to adopt Lin Xiyuâs draft, such a result naturally made the designer of that announcement company not too satisfied, after all, Wu Lin promised him that as long as his side nodded, everyone would be fine. Wu Lin didnât expect that the lesson was not given, but he offended the other side. Therefore, Wu Lin felt more and more that Lin Xiyu, this woman, leaving him with nothing good.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Just like this, Lin Xiyu was in cooperation with Changheng, and it was really completely unexpected by Lin Xiyu. Lin Xiyu was actually mentally prepared, after all, she offended the deputy manager and she felt that most of her drafts could not pass. Who knew that Lu Junting stopped by to take a look.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Did Lu Junting really stop by to see it? Or did he know she was over here?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âMiss Lin.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The voice that sounded behind pulled back Lin Xiyuâs thoughts. She looked back, only to see that it was He Shuo walking towards her.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He Shuo said, âWe will be partners in the future, I hope we can cooperate happily.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu replied, âThen I have to trouble Mr. He will give more guidance.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âDonât be polite.â He Shuo took out his mobile phone and glanced at the time. âItâs noon now, why donât we go have a meal together?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">At this time, the two were in the corridor outside the conference room of the Publicity Department, with the occasional employee walking by. Lin Xiyu was about to find a reason to refuse, when her mobile phone suddenly rang. She picked it up and glanced at it, it was Lu Junting who called.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu hurriedly picked it up, only to hear Lu Junting over there asking, âHavenât you left yet?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âNot yet.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âWho are you with?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting asked Qin Yu to help him install a software, which could directly connect to the monitoring room, the picture where he wanted to see could be retrieved at any time. At this time Lu Junting looked at the person in the computer screen, of course, he knew who she was with.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu was particularly honest and replied, âIâm with the manager of the Publicity Department. Arenât we cooperating now? Manager He is asking me for a meal.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âOh? You agreed?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âNo.â Lin Xiyu vaguely felt that Lu Juntingâs tone was a bit strange, so she simply asked, âWhatâs the matter? Are you looking for me?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âItâs okay. I know you came over here and just asked. Since you didnât agree, then go back early.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âOkay.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu put her mobile phone away, waiting for Lu Junting to hang up himself. When Lu Junting saw that she didnât hang up the phone, and didnât even mean to hang up, he listened quietly to the other end of the phone.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He only heard her say to He Shuo, âIâm sorry Mr. He, itâs not really convenient for me to go.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He Shuo said, âIs your friend here to see you?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Juntingâs fingers holding the mobile phone tightened subconsciously, and somehow, that sentence âmy friendâs brotherâ suddenly jumped into his mind. He was her friendâs brother, or something irrelevant, but not her husband.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">However, Lin Xiyuâs next words were completely unexpected, and he only heard her say, âItâs not my friend, itâs my husband.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He Shuo was surprised. âYour husband? Youâre married?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âYes, Iâm married, and have a child.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He didnât hear anything they said later, and his mind was full of her phrase âItâs my husbandâ.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting silently hung up the phone, took a sip of coffee, and his tight heart suddenly relaxed. The corners of his mouth unconsciously lifted up an arc.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After a while, there was a knock on the door, and Lu Junting thought that the assistant was coming to deliver something and said, âCome in.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The door was pushed open and it was Lin Xiyu who came in.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âYou havenât left yet?â Lu Junting asked her.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âIâm over here anyway, so Iâll come and have a meal with you.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Specifically asked him to join for a meal? Eat alone with him? The child was not here today.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">However, Lu Junting didnât think too much of it, and it was nothing for having a meal together, so he said, âSomeone will deliver the meal later, the company cafetaria made it, I donât know if it suits your appetite or not.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu said with a smile, âItâs okay, itâs okay, I can eat anything.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Smiling with curving eyes, the clear sky outside was not as bright as her face at this moment.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He had never seen her smile at him like this, not when the divorce was going on, not before the divorce, and even if she smiled at him at that time, she was full of wariness.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Why did you smile at him like that <i>ah</i>? Lu Junting felt that he was really done, he had a feeling of being at a loss for her expression.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting slowed down his emotions, which had become disoriented because she had rewarded him with a smile, before he used the intercom to call the people outside and asked them to send over an extra meal. After the call, he rushed to her and said, âIâm still a little bit busy, so sit down for a while.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âOkay.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu obediently answered, sat down on the sofa, casually took a magazine to read. Lu Junting was already busy over there, and after a while, the secretary suddenly knocked on the door and said, âPresident Lu, Vice President Liu came over.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting said, âLet her wait for me in the conference room.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After the secretary went out, Lu Junting said to her, âIâll deal with things first.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Looking at Lu Juntingâs figure going out, Lin Xiyu fell into deep thought, that Vice President Liu, wasnât it Liu Manqing? The one who had been showing up with him a lot lately? The two were also formed CP by the outside world?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The conference room was not far away, Liu Manqing was waiting inside when Lu Junting entered. She saw Lu Junting come in and asked, âIâm all the way to the door of your office and you still let me come to the conference room to wait? Whatâs wrong? Iâm not allowed in your office?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting said, âMy wife is inside, I donât want to talk about business in front of her, for fear of disturbing her.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Liu Manqing nodded in understanding. âNo wonder.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu waited for a while for Lu Junting to come back, and she asked the secretary where the conference room was located, and the secretary pointed it out to her, so she was ready to go over and take a look.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Unexpectedly, before she reached the conference room, she saw Lu Junting and Liu Manqing coming out of it. Lin Xiyu was startled and without thinking, she hid directly in the corner next to her.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting and Liu Manqing discussed things as they walked, probably discussing too much and when they passed around the corner, they didnât notice her hiding inside.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Liu Manqing said, âThe person in charge of the foreign country really didnât do this thing properly, the indicators for this quarter are out, and he has not yet reached the last quarterâs.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting said, âManpower is a big problem over there, and the targets given to him should be adjusted accordingly, so they donât have to be the same as those of other branches.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âItâs all been adjusted several times.â Liu Manqing sighed after speaking, âBut to be honest, the person in charge is indeed a pretty down-to-earth person, but he doesnât know how to be flexible and is stubborn.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting said, âIsnât this quite good, just like you.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Liu Manqing was dissatisfied. âHow is it the same as me?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âArenât you also stubborn, and arenât you doing just fine now?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âTsk, I said youâŚâ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After both of them walked over, Lin Xiyu came out from the corner, looking at the figure of the two walking side by side. Lin Xiyu had a strange and uncomfortable feeling in her heart.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She felt strange, she had never asked about his personal affairs before, even if he was rumored to have an affair with others, she didnât care so much, but now just seeing him walking with someone else made her feel uncomfortable.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But she immediately thought that she and Lu Junting were about to remarry,she was his wife-to-be, and as a wife-to-be, why should she be so lonely and hide on the sidelines to watch him walk side by side with another woman.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu adjusted his breathing and shouted to Lu Junting, âBrother Junting.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting heard the voice and looked back, and was surprised to see that it was her, he asked, âWhy are you over here?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu said, âI see that you havenât come back for so long and want to come out to see, just went the wrong way before I circled out and saw you.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She ran over to see because he didnât go back for a long time? Missing him so much?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">While speaking, Lin Xiyu had already stepped forward, and Lu Junting introduced the two, âThis is the Vice President Liu of Changheng, Liu Manqing, and this is my wife Lin Xiyu.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Liu Manqing glanced at Lin Xiyu. Few people should know about Lu Juntingâs marriage, but Liu Manqing was not surprised to hear him introduce her like this, and she politely stretched out her hand and greeted, âHello Mrs. Lu.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu also generously shook her hand. âHello Vice President Liu.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting said, âIf you change the previous plan, just change it according to what I said, and wait for the rest to be corrected.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Liu Manqing nodded. âOkay.â She was very self-aware and said, âThen Iâll go ahead and get busy first.â After speaking, she smiled and said to Lin Xiyu, âMrs. Lu, have fun.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After Liu Manqing left, Lu Junting said, âWhy did you still come out to look for me? Are you? Are you afraid Iâll lose it?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He used a half-joking tone, and Lin Xiyu also said in a joking tone, âThatâs right <i>ah</i>, Iâm afraid that you lose it.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting: â...â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting was puzzled, how could she really give him the feeling that she missed him, and didnât she think that the phrase âafraid that you lose itâ was a bit ambiguous? This little girl was very shy, wasnât she most afraid of ambiguity?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The two returned to Lu Juntingâs office, and the assistant had already brought two lunches. There was a small dining table in Lu Juntingâs office, and both of them walked to the table and sat down, eating their meals in silence.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âYou eat slowly, I still have some things to deal with.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After Lu Junting finished speaking, he sat back at his desk. Lin Xiyu had always had a question she wanted to ask Lu Junting, but she had never opened her mouth to ask, but now, she wanted to know.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu summoned up the courage to ask him, âBrother Junting, when exactly are we going to remarry?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Both of them moved in together for several days now, and Lu Junting had never said anything about remarrying, so Lin Xiyu did not know what he thought.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">However, Lin Xiyu didnât understand, in fact, she misunderstood Lu Junting, not that Lu Junting didnât want to remarry, but there were some things he didnât know how to say to her.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In fact, they didnât divorce at all, they only signed the divorce agreement at first, and they didnât go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce, so they were actually still husband and wife. The little girl probably had no experience, thinking that signing the agreement was divorce, of course, he didnât remind her.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He didnât know how to tell her this, he couldnât tell her directly that they werenât divorced, and sheâd think he was lying to her. It was hard to hope sheâd come around, he had to be careful, he didnât want to mess it up just like that.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting said, âIâm a little busy during this time, and weâll go to remarry after a while.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu nodded, was he really too busy? Or was there some other reason?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu left first after eating at Lu Juntingâs office, and it was already very late, so Lin Xiyu didnât go back to the club and went straight home. After returning home, she first played with Little Baby, and Lu Yuanâs call came shortly after she returned.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âI heard that your draft was used by the Publicity Department, congratulations <i>ah</i>.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âThen I have to thank you.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âThank me for what <i>ah</i>, youâre the one with the talent.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Both of them made a few jokes back and forth like this, Lin Xiyu thought of something and asked her, âBy the way, are you familiar with Liu Manqing?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âIâve only met her a few times, so Iâm not very familiar, but I know sheâs quite capable at business. Why are you asking about her all of sudden?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu said, âAfter coming out of the Publicity Department today, I went to your eldest brotherâs office for a while. I met her coming over to report her work and I feel that she and your eldest brother have quite a tacit understanding.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Yuan said, âLiu Manqing is quite capable, my eldest brother also appreciates her, the two of them are indeed quite familiar. I heard that when they went to university, they were brought out by the same mentor, and it was a senior brother and sister relationship.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu nodded, no wonder, it turned out that there was still a relationship between senior brother and sister, no wonder there was such a tacit understanding.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Yuan said again, âWhy are you suddenly concerned about Liu Manqing? You donât hear those rumors in the company, right? Donât think too much, my eldest brother and her are just working together.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu was silent for a moment and said, âNo.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiyu fell into deep thought, and even she felt strange why she cared about the relationship between Liu Manqing and Lu Junting, even specifically asking Lu Yuan. In the past when she was with him, she would not even ask about his personal affairs.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But for some reason, once she thought of the two getting close, plus having a layer of senior brother and sister relationship, she had an inexplicable sense of crisis in her heart.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In the evening, Lu Junting came back a little late, and the two sat face to face on both sides of the dining table, eating silently, which was often the case when she married him before. However, unlike before, Lin Xiyu looked at him from time to time because she had doubts.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">His movements of eating were slow and methodical, and his gestures were quite aesthetically pleasing.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Probably realizing her gaze, Lu Junting subconsciously looked over, and Lin Xiyu was startled, pretending to avoid it naturally. Although Lin Xiyuâs gaze was retracted quickly, Lu Junting still saw it. Lu Junting knew that he wasnât wrong, and the little girl was indeed staring at him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He felt strange, what was she staring at him for, he even subconsciously touched his face, there should be nothing on his face, right?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After he wasnât looking at her anymore, she continued to look over.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu looked at him with a complicated mood because of Liu Manqingâs relationship at first, but when she looked at him, she unconsciously admired him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">His muscles were firm and strong, outlined by a fitted shirt that curved extraordinarily well in the front and back. Whether it was his tight jawline or his protruding Adamâs apple, or his broad shoulders and tight waist, or his slender knuckles and sturdy arms exposed by half-rolled sleeves. It only took a glance to discover the attractive charm of this man.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Such a man was really attractive to women, right?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting really didnât understand why she kept looking at him. He thought that he was still thick-skinned, but he was really a little overwhelmed by the woman that he thought in his heart when she was staring at him like this.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Before Lu Junting was made uncomfortable by her look, he finally couldnât help but ask, âIs there something wrong? Why do you keep looking at me?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu: â...â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She was discovered. Lin Xiyu lowered her head in embarrassment, took a bite of her meal, and randomly found a reason, âNo, I just think that your clothes look pretty good today.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting glanced down at the shirt of his body, today he was wearing a dark brown shirt, different from the previous business style. This shirt was more casual, so this girl likes this style?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu went back to the room after eating, she even felt very strange, firstly, why would it be so uncomfortable to see Liu Manqing and Lu Junting standing together, and secondly, why did she feel that Lu Junting had a special attraction in him. She didnât have any of these feelings when she was with him before.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting went back to the room to take a shower, he spread his shirt on the bed and took a photo, and then sent the photo to the assistant, asking him to buy a few more pieces for him according to this model.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Zhou Jin: âHow many pieces does President Lu need?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting: âLetâs buy twenty pieces first.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Zhou Jin: â...â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Zhou Jin felt very strange, why was he buying so much at one time? Looking at President Luâs temperament, it didnât look like he was entangled with wholesale.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After the photo was taken, Lu Junting took the clothes to the nanny again and asked her to help wash and iron them so that he would wear them tomorrow.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The nanny also did not understand, a bunch of washed and ironed clothes in the ownerâs cloakroom, why did he have to wear this? The owner had always paid attention to quality, the same clothes would not be worn for two days in a row, she didnât understand what was going on, but she also took money to do things, and she would do weather people order.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu didnât sleep much that night and woke up early the next morning. She first went to her sonâs room and took care of him with the nanny and then she went downstairs holding her sonâs hand.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting was sitting on the sofa drinking coffee, and when he heard the voice, his gaze lifted slightly to look over. At this time, he was holding a coffee cup in his hand, the rim of the cup was gently pressed against his lips. There was hot air steaming above the coffee cup, and his pair of eyes were looking through the mist, and the action of lifting his eyes slightly deepened his gaze, which seemed to be more penetrating.

Ji Lingâs heart roared in despair.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui looked at Ji Lingâs sad and shocked eyes, and the cold flowed through his blood, almost freezing his internal organs.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Doing it all over again, seeing with my own eyes that the damage I had done to the teenager was countless times more real that I remembered, and the dense cracks in my heart like cobwebs were once again on the verge of cracking.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">For a long time, Jing Sui opened his mouth and let out a deep voice, looking at Ji Lingâs eyes gently. âYou donât need to prove anything to me in this way, later⌠stop doing something so dangerous, oh?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling looked at the man in front of him who had always been cold and indifferent in a trance, and stared at him with such a focused and gentle gaze, and finally sadness came from it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">So you who killed with a thousand knives, youâve really been reborn too, right?!

After they are together⌠probably also kissing, pa-paâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling almost blacked out.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thinking of being trapped in such a terrifying world and facing the risk of being XXOO by men. In such a desperate situation, the strong desire for survival made Ji Ling finally break out of his own small universe, and he must now reject Jing Sui!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A rabbit will bite when itâs cornered!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling pushed Jing Sui away sharply, looked at him with red eyes, and said angrily, âDonât lie to me, you were still comforting Ning Yu just now. You obviously like him, and you came here today because of him right⌠You are just afraid that he will be retaliated against if he hurts me, afraid that I wonât be willing and continue to give him trouble. I donât need such hypocrisy from you!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui was stunned, his arms were empty, and the pain under his eyes could hardly be suppressed.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">When he was reborn, the duel had already begun, and the reason why he didnât strike at the beginning was in the hope that Ji Ling could personally save some reputation, and his last appearance was not for Ning Yu at all. If he directly injured Ning Yu and took Ji Ling away at that time, the angry people would vent all their anger on Ji Ling and make him the target of the public.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Therefore, he deliberately pretended not to care about him, stayed at the scene to appease Ning Yu, and tried to reduce the adverse impact caused by this matter, so that even if people had some dissatisfaction, most of them would only point the finger at him, but ignored Ji Ling.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But Ji Ling didnât understand, all he saw was the scene of himself leaving him and talking to Ning Yu.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This child had always been simple and pure, making others feel heartbreaking and helpless.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">For a long time, a very light sigh overflowed from Jing Suiâs throat, and he explained slowly and gently, âNo, I did that just now to protect you.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling immediately asked, âYou call this protecting me?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Such a simple trust, if it was with others, Jing Sui wouldnât bother to explain, but he looked at the sad teenager. How can he bear to see him misunderstand and feel sad? He said, âThis is a fair duel, itâs against the rules for me to intervene, and if I go overboard in defending you, it will only make you the target of the public, do you understand?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling was stunned for a moment, so thatâs what you think? This truth is very simple and easy to understand, he just donât think in this direction just now, and now listening to Jing Sui, he is even more desperate and angry :)</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It turns out that you werenât defending Ning Yu just now, you were defending me!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Even if you are reborn, even if you feel guilty, I can barely understand⌠But your feelings for the protagonist <i>shou</i> are so sad and indignant to me, how can you take him so little to heart? Ignoring the honest and kind protagonist <i>shou</i> for the sake of the vicious cannon fodder like me!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Itâs just shocking!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">No, I, Ji Ling will never admit defeat!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He took a deep breath, looked at Jing Sui fixedly, and said coldly, âReally?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui saw that Ji Ling was finally a little calmer, and thought that he understood what he meant and accepted his apology, but at this moment, he saw tears in Ji Lingâs eyes again, looking at him with an incomparably strange gaze, as if he was a very terrifying existenceâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Lingâs eyelashes trembled slightly. There were tears in his eyes, but there was a miserable smile on the corner of his mouth, and he said word by word, âApart from this noble identity of yours, where can you compare to him?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Suiâs face finally changed.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling clearly and slowly, repeating that sentence word by word. His eyes were gray with despair, sadness, and pain as he looked at Jing Suiâs eyes fixedly. âThis is what Your Majesty personally said to me that day, and I remember every word clearly.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Suiâs lips moved slightly, but no sound came out.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âAt that time, Your Majesty probably didnât expect that I would go to Ning Yu for a duel over this⌠but what I didnât expect was that you would love him so much.â Ji Ling looked at him disheartened, sneered, and there seemed to be a faintly inaudible tremor in his voice that he tried his best to keep calm as he said, âWith your status, youâre even willing to be wishy-washy with a dandy like me that you look down on just for the sake of protecting one person.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âI had the naive hope that the day you didnât deny it was just a perfunctory remark, just an excuse you casually found to reject me, I didnât believe you really liked himâŚbut now I finally believe it.â Ji Ling smiled and laughed as tears flowed silently down his face. âIt turns out that you like him to such an extent that you can intervene in duels for him, remove obstacles for him, and solve all his troubles for him. For him⌠come and lie to me.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Every time Ji Ling said a word, Jing Suiâs complexion turned even paler.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He wanted to retort that he couldnât and wouldnât have cared to commit such a despicable act himself. He was perfectly capable of protecting the love of his life, just as I want to protect you now.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But even if I say itâs not true now⌠who will believe it?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">If it wasnât for the experiences of that life, if it wasnât for the hundreds of years of painful regret, even he wouldnât have believed it, right?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">I donât believe that I can be like this, caring about someone.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui closed his eyes, hiding the exhaustion and weakness under his eyes, and said, âItâs not like that.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling suddenly cried out in grief, âEnough!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He glanced at Jing Sui hatefully, raised his hand to wipe his eyes, and as if he finally couldnât hold on any longer, he turned around and ran away from Jing Sui!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui stood there, watching the teenager pass by him, and that one hateful look, like a chill that froze a thousand feet, made him unable to move.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Sometimes once the damage was done, even if it took a hundred times, a thousand times, it was difficult to recover and make up for it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Being in the abyss, how can one expect to leave easily?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">What about obtaining salvation?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Itâs just that despite this, in this life, allow me to protect you, even if I spend my whole life begging for forgiveness, it doesnât matter.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">..................</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling was simply playing beyond normal just now, and finally got rid of Jing Sui. He returned to his home and began to call the system impatiently.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling: [This mission is whatever you want it to be, Iâm not doing it!]</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">System: [...

This is completely different from what we agreed before, this is a serious breach of integrity, and I ask you to give me an explanation!]</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">System: [Donât worry, I will forward this situation to my superiors and give you an explanation as soon as possible.]</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling looked indifferent: [Your words sound very familiar to me.]</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">System: [?]</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling: [A colleague of my mother bought a house last year, but when she actually took over the house, she found that it did not match the model house, and the developerâs original promise was not fulfilled, so she went to the developer and asked to give them an explanation, and the sales manager of the other party replied to her like this.]</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">System: [...]</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling: [The point is, this matter has been ripping off for a whole year, the banners have been pulled, the doors have been blocked, and the other party still stalling until they die :)]</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">System: [...]</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling sincerely lamented: [So you must not be like this, right?]</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">System: [...] Donât dare to speak, donât dare to speak.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">..................</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling fell asleep with his head down, and when he woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although yesterday he found a reason to run away from Jing Sui, and then stunned the system again, his mood was still very low. For a moment, he really had the idea to give up in his heart, but he knew he couldnât do that.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Regardless of whether the system could give him a satisfactory reply or not, to complete the mission, he ultimately had to rely on himself, and could not completely pin his hops on other people. He must cheer up, hard work does not necessarily lead to results, but without effort there will certainly be no results.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">If he wants to go home, he canât give up now.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After calming down and thinking about it, although the situation was indeed bad, he was not completely hopeless, because the real decisive condition for completing the mission was that the protagonist was in love and HE, as long as this goal could be achieved, it did not really matter how the process was.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Even if they were all reborn? The rebirth was essentially just an increase in a period of experience, knowing some of the things that would happen in the future. It was not a great change in the personality of a living person. These people were essentially themselves, had their own character and thoughts, a lot of deep-rooted things, would not change just because of rebirth.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Just like a fool, he would not become wise because he was reborn, and a cold and evil person would not become kind and compassionate because he was reborn.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Therefore, in their previous lives, they loathed themselves like this, so naturally they wouldnât like it just because the were reborn once.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The reason why Jing Sui and Brandon were uncharacteristically good to him, rather than liking him, it was more like guilt, because he had sacrificed his life to save them in his last life, so after he died they developed regretful feeling, and wanting to make up for it after their rebirth was barely justifiable. After all, they belonged to the righteous camp and weren't that heartless.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As for Carlos and Wen Yan, the two insidious and vicious villains who disregard human life, even if they were reborn, with their character and nature of mind, Iâm afraid that they are mostly calculating about themselves, and the bad guys will not change their minds and become good people because they are reborn once.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Taking 10,000 steps back, whether they felt guilty or full of calculation, it didnât matter, they were just insignificant cannon fodder, as long as Jing Sui could love Ning Yu, there was still hope for completing the mission!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thinking of this, Ji Ling finally regained some strength and began to carefully analyze the situation he was facing now.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In the previous life, he succeeded in calculating against Ning yu, and Jing Sui acted as a hero saving beauty to show his love before all the people, and because of this incident, he caused strong dissatisfaction among the people against nobles. Using such despicable tactics in a duel was undoubtedly an offense against the laws of the Empire, and Jing Sui was going to punish him in order to quell the anger of the people, but at the crucial moment Ning Yu came forward to intercede on his behalf and generously forgave him, which was what allowed him to be exempted from punishment in the end.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The reason why Ning Yu did this, Ji Ling thought on the one hand because Ning Yu was a light breeze broad-minded person with a white lotus persona, he was not the kind of vengeful and vicious people; On the other hand because Ning Yu was in fact a smart person, this time he was driving himself to the corner himself and there was no benefit, it was better to see a good thing, not only to win a good reputation, but also would not cause the Empireâs nobles to dislike and had a resistance on him. He also understood that Jing Sui didnât have to offend Grand Duke Ji Ting, which could be described as all.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Kindness and integrity did not mean low EQââ It was on full display here in Ning Yu.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But this time, the object of being saved by the hero had become himselfâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">At that time, facing Jing Sui, who did not play cards according to common sense, Ji Ling was very devastated and desperate, but now that he thought about it, it was actually not so bad, because Ning Yu still gained fame and fortune. He not only won fair and square, but also won the sympathy of the people because of Jing Suiâs defense of himself.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">If there was one thing that had changed, this time the black pot had become Jing SuiâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But it was not a big deal, because JIng Suiâs handling at that time was very clever, greatly calming the mood of the people, even if some people were still dissatisfied, it was not enough to affect the situation, and he protected himself while minimizing the adverse impact of this matter.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Therefore, Ning Yu and Jing Sui actually did not suffer real losses in this matter.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">What really made Ji Ling feel worried and difficult was Jing Suiâs attitude towards Ning Yu.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Because he had actually made a move on Ning Yu for his own sake, without hesitation!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In your previous life, you were also a couple that was already engaged. If Jing Sui was really reborn and felt guilty about himself, it should be love for Ning Yu.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">So hereâs the problem.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">With Jing Suiâs calm and rational personality, will he mercilessly strike at his lover because of a trace of guilt for himself?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It doesnât make sense <i>ah</i>!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">And if what he said yesterday was true, then it seems that he put his importance in front of Ning Yu. Could it be that after he had died for him once, he had finally realized how good he was, and was so impressed by his love that he no longer liked Ning Yu, and liked himself instead?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">No wayââ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling began to panic again when he thought of this, panicking more than anything else!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">No, it must not happen!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">With such a cold and heartless character, for Jing Sui to like Ning Yu was already because of the original author, which belonged to an irresistible force of fate. If Ji Ling had not read the original book, he would not believe that people like him would really love Ning Yu⌠So how is it possible for such a person to like himself because he died once for him?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">To be able to like him so simply, is he still that ruthless Emperor?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling felt messy in his heart.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">If he had known this day would come, he would never have gone to save Jing Sui at that time, anyway, if he didnât do it at that time, Carlos didnât necessarily win either⌠If God gives him another chance, he will go to save a dog, and he wonât save this negative and thin skinned dog Emperor! (This refers to the Ning Yuâs heartbroken luck)</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling thought like this during the day, thought about it at night, ate and slept.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A moment to cheer myself up.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A moment later the anger leaked again.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A moment he looked dazed.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A moment of struggling while hesitating.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thinking over and over, he still couldnât come up with a clue, he really couldnât understand why Jing Sui did this. It seemed that there was always a place where something was not right, but he couldn't think of it. I donât know where I overlooked⌠He hates this kind of person with a deep and unfathomable mind ahhh!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Because of this change, Ji Ling did not go out of the door everyday, full of worry and confusion about his future.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">..................</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">That night, he sat in his yard as usual, looking at the sky in a daze, and the nine shiny satellites in the sky reminded him all the time that it was not his worldâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wen Yan walked in from outside, and at a glance he saw the pale teenager, sitting there in a trance, looking up at the sky, that lonely and forlorn.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As if he didnât belong to this world at all.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wen Yanâs eyes faintly appeared bitter, thinking of what happened that day, his heart sank and ached. Although Ji Ling finally did not have an accident, and even retreated intact, but for him, who was obsessed with Jing Sui, the result was no different from the previous life.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Because the person he loved so much, did not give a damn about him, only cared about other people.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui seemed to have saved Ji Ling, but in fact, it was just to protect Ning Yu, lest Ning Yu lose his hand and hurt Ji Ling and be retaliated, which he could see, and many people could see too.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling should have seen it too.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">So now, how sad should the teenagerâs heart be?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wen Yan walked over gently, his heart was full of pity and unbearable. His dark eyes gazed tenderly at Ji Lingâs face and he said in a low voice, âItâs late, arenât you going to rest?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling turned his head and looked at the silver-haired man standing respectfully in front of him, which was also not a reassuring thing.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">I thought that he would not continue to waste time to please himself after becoming the Speaker, he had always been very perfunctory to himself in the previous life, and in this life I donât know what heâs thinking. He still ran in front of him twice in three days, and all kinds of things to brush his presence.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Because of the low mood, Ji Ling didnât bother to find words to squeeze Wen Yan, thinking that it was also a reborn guy, helpless and dazed, he couldnât help but ask him the long-accumulated doubts in his heart, and said, âDo you think that His Majesty might like me?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wen Yang looked at the teenagerâs pale and delicate face, and in the night, the helplessness and vulnerability in his clear eyes were visible. He asked him this question in such a despondent manner⌠Wen Yan felt pain and pity in his heart, and he almost couldnât bear to speak.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He knew very well that it was impossible for Jing Sui to like Ji Ling.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In the previous life, Ji Ling was infatuated, and he also failed to make Jing Sui look back, that man had no heart at all, he wouldnât love someone.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But how could he utter such a cruel answer to these almost broken eyes?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wen Yan was silent for a long time, and slowly spoke, âHis Majesty will definitely like you.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As soon as Ji Ling heard this, his face was almost ashen, he almost wanted to beat himself to death, what kind of insanity did he commit to ask Wen Yan this question <i>ah</i>!

The black mecha was like a god smashing Ning Yuâs white mecha with one punch, and his head was full of black question marks!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wasnât Jing Sui quite normal before?

Not only did he almost whitewash, Jing Sui took over the pot, and began to become the object of netizens to vent their dissatisfaction.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He came out of the mecha in a daze, and looked at the huge black mecha in front of him with a gray face.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">What about Jing Sui, the most reliable friend of the people? Why are you like this too!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Are you being reborn, or have you been led astray by Brandon?!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Just when Ji Ling was desperate, he saw the hatch in the middle of the black mecha open, and a tall and slender figure, with a gentle leap, jumped down from the dozens of meters high mecha and landed on the ground as steady as a mountain.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui raised his head to reveal a handsome and peerless face. His golden pupils were shining with a cold light, and he did not glance at Ji Ling behind him, but walked straight to Ning Yuâs mecha, grabbed the edge of the mecha hatch and reached out, directly ripped off the broken cabin cover, and pulled Ning Yu out of it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ning Yuâs lips were a little pale, seemingly injured. He raised his eyes to look at Jing Sui, the light in his green eyes flickered for a moment, and he let out a low, hoarse voice, âYour Majesty.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui said slowly, âAre you okay?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ning Yu shook his head. âItâs not a big deal.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui controlled the strength when he made a move, and at a glance he could see that Ning Yu was not injured just now, and it was said that Carlos arranged for someone to secretly obstruct him⌠but at this moment, itâs not the right time to say this. He paused, looked at Ning Yu with apologetic eyes and said in a gentle voice, âI made you feel wrong just now in the heat of the moment⌠Although itâs a duel, since the winner has already been decided, itâs better to make peace, donât you think?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ning Yu showed an understanding smile and said with emotion, âYouâre right, I was a little impulsive just now, and I almost didnât hold my hand.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui smiled slightly, âItâs okay.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling was originally in a trance and very desperate, almost thinking that Jing Sui was also reborn, but seeing that although Jing Sui suddenly saved himself, he ran to greet Ning Yu without looking at him, showing affection in front of everyone! I doubted my own ideas again.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Didnât Jing Sui come to help himself?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Lingâs eyes lit up, itâs quite possible <i>ah</i>! In this life, because of the butterfly effect, he failed to make a move on Ning Yu, but instead was beaten up by Ning Yu. Ning Yu would definitely win the duel, but Jing Sui wouldnât be able to be a hero saving a beauty and this was not necessarily a good thing for Ning Yu.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Because with Ning Yuâs status as a commoner, if he really beat himself to death in the duel arena, even if he won the honor, he would undoubtedly get into super trouble!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Is he someone he can kill casually? Absolutely not <i>ah</i>!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In this case, he can only admit that he killed Ning Yu, but Ning Yu will be met with insane retaliation if he killed himself. Killing a noble is the bottom line that he canât touch.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The duel is fair, but this society is not.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">At that time, not to mention that other nobles retaliated against Ning Yu in order to maintain their authority, facing endless consequences, and his own parents, Grand Duke Ji Ting and Madam Marida, will do anything to make Ning Yu pay for his life!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Therefore, Jing Sui seemed to be saving him, but in fact, he was defending Ning Yu, so that Ning Yu won the duel beautifully, won everyoneâs affirmation and sympathy, and would not offend his parents and other nobles because of this, itâs simply beneficial and harmless.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This is the right way for the plot to unfold!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">When Ji Ling thought of this, hope once again ignited in his heart, the male protagonist is so good!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">I really didnât misread you.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Taking advantage of everyoneâs attention to focus on that radiant Emperor and the protagonist Ning Yu, cannon fodder Ji Ling quietly slipped out. He was really tired today.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although many things have changed in this life, in order to go home, he will definitely be able to turn the plot back!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling returned to his preparation room, wiped his face with cold water, rested for a while to recover some physical strength, pushed the door open and prepared to leave.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">At the time, everyone gathered outside, but there was no one here. Ji Ling was walking alone in the empty metal corridor, and when he turned a corner, he suddenly accidentally bumped into a person, and was about to say sorry, but he stiffened when he looked up. He couldnât say anything with his mouth open in amazement.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Is he hallucinating! How can he see Jing Sui here?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Isnât Jing Sui still talking to Ning Yu outside just now?!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">What are you doing here alone instead of comforting your sweetheart?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui lowered his eyes slightly, looking at the stunned teenager in front of him. The teenager was a little embarrassed, and there was a hint of redness on his fair face that had not dissipated after the fierce battle, and complex emotions slowly appeared in his eyes.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Actually I wanted to talk to him just now⌠But he didnât do that.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He didnât want to push the teenager into the limelight to endure more malicious speculation and unwarranted attacks, so even though his heart wanted to see this person again in his heart, he didnât look back.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling stared blankly at the man in front of him, frozen for a moment and then thought that it might be a coincidence, it might be that Jing Sui was also preparing to leave⌠Since I happen to run into him, I have to keep on acting even if Iâm tired.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">His eyelashes trembled, his red eyes looked at Jing Sui angrily and sadly, and spoke unwillingly, âWho asked you to come and save me, I, even without you, I can defeat him!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui didnât speak, just looked at him fixedly.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling was a bit flustered by the look. Jing Suiâs eyes always made him feel that something was wrong, and he snorted for a while before continuing, âIâll show you that, Iâm better thanâââ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">That poor Ning Yu.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But those three words were not spoken.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A cold wind swept on the side of his neck, Jing Sui suddenly stretched out his hand to support the wall behind Ji Ling, lowered his head and approached Ji Lingâs face. Sharp golden pupils looked at him for a moment, the tight jaw curvature, tight thin lips, indicating that the teenager in front of him was not calm.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling was immediately stuck.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Shit aahhh. Itâs the first time in his two lives to see such a serious expression of Jing Sui, itâs really terrifying <i>ah</i>! No matter how much this person hated him before, he was just a little indifferent, and even when he ordered him to be expelled from the Emperor Star, he still didnât have any expression on his face, as if he didnât even have the qualification to make him angry.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although he was the same kind of scheming person as Carlos. If Carlos always wore a hypocritical and elegant aristocratic mask, then Jing Sui never showed any joy, anger or sorrowââ there was probably no one in this world who could guess the true emotions in his heart.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Therefore, Jing Sui, who suddenly has emotions and looks angry, is really scary <i>ah</i>!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Lingâs teeth were chattering as he was knocked on the wall.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui stared at the fear in the teenagerâs blue eyes from an extreme distance. For a long time, he closed his eyes and opened them again, and the depths of his golden pupils swept through a trace of pain that was almost imperceptible.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The pale and bloodless face of the teenager in front of him gradually overlapped with the scene in his memory that he could not forget even after a lifetime.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In the dark clouds and thorny steel ruins, the person with the face of âNing Yuâ did not hesitate to block in front of him at a critical moment, and took Carlosâs thunderous blow for him, and then he slowly fell. The disguise on his body dissipated a little bit like a fading mirage, and finally revealed the teenagerâs original appearance.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He fell into his arms, his face pale and bloodless.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">However, the scorching light in his blue eyes was like the last glimmer of fire in the burning embers, and at the last moment of his life, he said to him in a weak voice: [Iâm sorry⌠I wonât pester you anymore.]</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">[You and Ning Yu, be happy.]</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The faintly inaudible words, accompanied by the smell of blood in the wind, were light and almost drifted away with the wind⌠But it made his heart, which was almost never moved by anything, twitched slightly.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As if, something very important, quietly passed.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Since then, every detail in this image has been brought to life for countless years to come.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He also finally realized that the teenager did not hurt Ning Yu at all that day, he was actually there to save Ning Yu.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Because he thought that Ning Yu was the person he loved, he went to Ning Yu even at the risk of being discovered by Carlos and possibly paying with his life.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Using his arrogant and domineering appearance as a cover, he gave Ning Yu a chance to escape.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He loved that kind of humble⌠the disguise of pride is his last self-esteem.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But even though he was so jealous of Ning Yu and hated Ning Yu, in the end, he still chose to use his own life to save him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui had always known that he loved him, and this love that he had once discarded and disdained because there were so many people who loved him, so many that he was numb, and he had long since become accustomed to all sorts of admiration and worship look⌠The teenager is just one of the most disgusting and un-self-aware of them all.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">What those people love, not the real him, but his appearance, his status, and cheap affection is the last thing he needs.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He thought the same is true for this teenager.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But then he realized how wrong he was, he was really wrong.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It turns out that in this world, there is really a person who loves him so purely and fiercely, even if he is hurt like that by himself, giving up again and again, pushing away again and again⌠But he still canât let go, canât help loving him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Willing to do whatever it takes for him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Throughout the past and the future, there will never be another person who will love him like this teenager.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This love is not unusual, but unique.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Itâs countless times more precious than the most precious treasure in the entire universe.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But he didnât realize this until he lost it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A trace of pain and gloom gradually appeared under Jing Suiâs eyes, he thought that he would not regret anything, but when the teenager died, he knew that it was not so. It turned out that he also regretted a personâs death, he was in pain and could not sleep at night.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">I regret that I didnât take a serious look at the teenager when he was alive, didnât treat him well, even once <i>ah</i>⌠not even once.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He just did it again and again⌠trampling his heart.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Until the teenager used his life to cut a tiny gap in his cold heart⌠And that crack did not heal with the passage of time, but gradually expanded, and finally covered his heart with cracks.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">What everyone saw was the cold Emperor, whose joy and anger could not be seen. Everyone thought that he had long forgotten the teenager who died for him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Everyone thought that he was a man without a heart.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But only he knew that the web formed by the crack had enveloped his heart and quietly changed everything.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">So he proposed to Ning Yu to dissolve the engagement.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ning Yu agreed very quickly, this answer was expected by Jing Sui, because he knew very well that Ning Yu actually didnât like him much either. They were together not so much as lovers, but as allies with a common goal, and those with interests. Those who could go from being a commoner at the bottom of the hierarchy, step by step, to becoming a high-level evolutionary, and ultimately becoming the hope of all commoners, the person who can do all of this is bound to be more rational than emotional.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Or perhaps, Ning Yu had also long since seen everything through.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The death of the teenager easily shattered the connection between them that was never close in the first place.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">So they ended the relationship peacefully.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Silence on the matter.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">They still had a lot to do and didnât have time to grieve.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Later, it passed for many years.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This Empire had finally become what he wanted it to be.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Someone began to persuade him to get married and continued the bloodline of the Imperial Family.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But whenever someone talked about this issue, he always thought of the teenager who closed his eyes in his arms. Remembering the way he always followed behind him and looked at him with admirationâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He thought, if the teenager was still alive.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He could probably marry him, he would have been so happyâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He always wants him to get his wish once, even if itâs just once.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Unfortunately, in the end, it was just his fantasy.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Some mistakes, once made, there is no chance to make up for them.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Not once.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Just like the Grand Duke and Duchess Ji Ting who left the Imperial Star disheartened, even though he tried his best to give amends, they did not accept the slightest bit of it, but left the place that made them sad.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In this world, anything can be made up for, anything can be measured in terms of value, except the human heart, which canât be measured in terms of value and canât be made up for.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He canât mend anyoneâs heart, including his own.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Once he thought that what he had given up was nothing more than a trivial thing, but later he realized that what he had given up was a unique treasure the he could never get even if he owned the whole world.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A pure, unblemished heart that loves him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Many years later,</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Every time the teenager looked at his loving eyes, every time he smiled and called him brother Jing Sui, every time he was jealous and angry with his temper⌠the bits and pieces he got along with him began to be constantly turned out from his memory, clearly and cruelly reminding him of what he had done, how ruthless he was, and did not give him any chance to escape.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">If he had been nice to the teenager once, things would not have come to that point, right?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But he didnât.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was he who personally pushed the teenager who loved him deeply into the abyss of doom.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Every memory would tear the wound that had never healed, revealing a bloody inside, letting him know that he was also a person with a heart, and he would also feel pain.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Probably that was the punishment that the teenager left for him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Let him know that it was all self-inflicted.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Let him know that a person like himself didnât deserve to have such a relationship.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But the funny thing isâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A ruthless person like him would even be favored by Heaven, and he could even get the opportunity to start over.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A deep self-deprecation appeared under Jing Suiâs eyes, he was a little greedy, looking at the vivid face of the teeanger in front of him, that almost long ago frozen by the ice and cold in his chest, seemed to be flowing slowly, bringing up a dense pain.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">No, this may not be a gift.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Maybe God let him be reborn, so that he could see with his own eyes the wrong things he had done, and let him know how cruel he wasâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Looking at him sarcastically and telling him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Now that youâre back, what are you going to do? Do you really know how to love someone?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A pained look flickered in the very depths of Jing Suiâs eyes.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Yes, look at what youâve doneâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">If it wasnât for his own contempt and indifference, how could Ji Ling risk challenging Ning Yu in order to prove to him? He was so desperate in order to get a look and affirmation from himâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">And he knew that he was just humiliating himself, but he was oblivious to what was happening.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Unconsciously, he easily trampled on the love that would torment him for hundreds of years to come, keeping him awake at night, begging for more.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Why couldnât I come back earlier?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Earlier, it would have been better <i>ah</i>âŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling looked at His Majesty the Emperor in front of him who did not say a word, and had a terrifying aura. His legs softened almost about to sit on the ground in fear.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">You, is it necessary for you to be so angry?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ning Yu is okayâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Iâm the one who was getting beaten <i>ah</i>âŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling almost wanted to cry without tears. Seeing Jing Suiâs aura becoming more and more condensed and terrifying, suddenly his eyes turned and tearfully looked at the tall black-haired and golden-eyed man in front of him, hoping to muddle through with pretending to be pitiful, and said in a trembling voice, âYourâ Your MajestyâŚâ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This âYour Majestyâ sound, with a trill, as if a hand, gently plucked at something.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The stagnation time continued to turn around, to bring wandering thoughts back to the forefront.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui finally raised his hand.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In Ji Lingâs distracted gaze, he gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and made a very light voice⌠it was light as if it had traveled through heavy space and time, drifting from the distant future.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He said, âIâm sorry.â</span></div></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">----------</span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><div><span style="font-size: large;">If you like my translation, please support me by buying me a coffee:</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><span><a href="https://ko-fi.com/oyen0710">https://ko-fi.com/oyen0710</a> </span><span>or </span><a href="https://trakteer.id/oyens">https://trakteer.id/oyens</a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800180;"><b><span><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.oyensblog.com/2023/09/VALIR-ch-20.html">Previous Chapter</a> |</span></span></b><b><span><span style="font-size: large;"><span> </span><span><a href="https://www.oyensblog.com/p/villains-all-fell-in-love-with-me-after.html">Table of Content</a> </span></span></span></b><span><b><span><span style="font-size: large;">| </span></span></b><b><span><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.oyensblog.com/2023/10/VALIR-ch-22.html">Next Chapter</a></span></span></b></span></span></div></div>Oyenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02923874792286361037noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-257116854364522428.post-15889863443870568382023-10-15T09:02:00.002+07:002023-10-20T13:53:51.035+07:00Using Marriage as Bait : Chapter 44<div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7EV9hCi-MCWPHX7wqW-hg1XBpeyQNK7ZI15bv-i0WugKt3zHE0TYNljRKCKt0EVwi6aJrZdCwGw1WELApYanJG7vCjP0sSCr2VakUXM0QYBKr69WauT3Y0s7b3YozHz-gpN1xTMRBQCS9Cgq4vnjuT6t3FEszSV5Ef8UTQksI6poLXHkvig5imtBZr44/s1200/using%20marriage%20as%20bait1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="1200" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7EV9hCi-MCWPHX7wqW-hg1XBpeyQNK7ZI15bv-i0WugKt3zHE0TYNljRKCKt0EVwi6aJrZdCwGw1WELApYanJG7vCjP0sSCr2VakUXM0QYBKr69WauT3Y0s7b3YozHz-gpN1xTMRBQCS9Cgq4vnjuT6t3FEszSV5Ef8UTQksI6poLXHkvig5imtBZr44/w640-h214/using%20marriage%20as%20bait1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>Sorry for long absence, these days I was so busy for preparing my engagement day. Happy reading~<span><a name='more'></a></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Chapter 44: Daddy Had to Touch Mommyâs Head too.</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He wasnât actually asleep, but he closed his eyes and rested for a while, pretending to be asleep because she was coming over and he knew that she probably wouldnât come over if he was awake.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He really never expected her to suddenly hold his hand, and the moment he realized that her finger was pressed against his palm, he didnât know how much effort it took to restrain his instinctive reaction. He almost held his breath in order to maintain the position of staying asleep.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Why did she touch his hand?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting thought that he was not the kind of boring and childish person, but the boring question in his mind was always hovering.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He cared so much about it. Why did she suddenly want to touch his hand?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He was used to asking questions to solve problems, and when he encountered problems, he wanted to understand them to figure it out, but he couldnât figure out this one.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In short, because he was touched by her, he was a bit messy now.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">However, in a state of confusion, he still looked calm, and people couldnât see anything out of the ordinary. Therefore, when Lin Xiyu brought Lu Chengmao to eat strawberry pie, she didnât notice anything wrong with Lu Junting. Seeing that he woke up, she also greeted him politely, âBrother Junting is awake?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting, who was accustomed to dealing with things calmly, also politely nodded in response.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu let the child wash his hands, held him and sat on her lap and took strawberry pie for him to eat. Lu Junting was here, so Lin Xiyu handed him a piece of strawberry pie and asked him, âBrother Junting, do you want to taste it?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting swept his gaze towards her, his eyes were measuring. This girl had just touched his hand, and now she was sharing the strawberry pie she had made for her child with him. It suddenly occurred to him that there had been a difference in her attitude towards him over the past two days.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting felt that he was quite good at reading peopleâs hearts, but he couldnât see through what this girl was really thinking. Is it because the child that she wants to get closer to him and blend in with the family atmosphere? But even so, she wouldnât touch his hand.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Juntingâs gaze was deep, especially when he looked at people like this, a bit of sharpness emerged from the bottom of his eyes. Lin Xiyu had just flirted with someone while they were asleep, so she was more or less a little guilty at this moment. She didnât dare to look at him for too long, and the strawberry pie she handed over was taken back again, she put it back on the plate, and said, âIf brother Junting wants to eat, you can take it yourself.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting didnât speak, thinking about the question in his mind.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">At this time, the maid came over and said that it was Madam Lu who came over. Lin Xiyu was very puzzled. Did Old Madam Lu actually come here so early? Was there something wrong?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The family came in from the backyard and sawa Madam Lu sitting on the sofa. They saw that she had a happy look on her face, and it didnât look like that something was wrong.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âGrandma.â Lin Xiyu greeted her.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Madam Luâs face was even more joyful when seeing her face. She smiled and she looked a lot more energetic. âXixi, come to grandmaâs side quickly.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu obediently walked over and sat down. Madam Lu took her hand and smiled. âI heard your brother Junting say, you are going to remarry?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu glanced at Lu Junting, he only took her home yesterday, and today Old Madam Lu knew about it. Why was she in such a hurry to talk?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu was a little embarrassed. She nodded and said, âThatâs what brother Junting and I are planning to do.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âOKay, okay, okay, well planned. Then you have to quickly pick a date to get married. Your wedding has not yet taken place, we will help to prepare. I see <i>ah</i>, today is a good day.â After Old Madam Lu finished speaking, she said to Lu Junting, âDonât go to the company for a while, first go with Xixi to remarry before saying anything else.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu: â...â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Going today? Wasnât that a bit of a rush?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">However, Lin XIyu didnât express her thoughts, she looked at Lu Junting, which was meant to make him take a stance.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting said, âAre you confused? Today is Saturday, and people donât work.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Only then did Madam Lu react and said hurriedly, âLook at me, Iâm really confused, then you will go to remarry on Monday.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting didnât speak, and Old Madam Lu said again when she saw this, âWhatâs wrong?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting said, âIâve had a little too much going on lately, so Iâll be busy with the remarry when Iâm done.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Madam Lu glared at him and said, âWhat else can be as important as remarriage?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting said, âYou know, I do things in an orderly manner, things have to be done one by one.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Old Madam Lu was really going to be angry with his stupid grandson. Xixi finally let go and wanted to remarry, he still didnât hurry to remarry, not afraid of the night being long and dreamy, what if Xixi ran away again one day?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Madam Lu really wanted to point at his nose and scold, but his wife and child were still next to Madam Lu, so she had to give face to him. She could only glare at him fiercely and when she turned her head to Lin Xiyu, Madam Lu immediately changed her expression to a smile and said, âXixi <i>ah</i>, you also know that you brother Junting is a busy man. He usually has a lot of work, and when he is not busy, you two will remarry, okay?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu obediently replied, âOkay, thereâs no hurry.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although Lin Xiyu said this, she felt strange. She only mentioned remarriage yesterday, and Lu Junting picked her home on the same day, but his attitude towards remarriage seemed to be not very positive. He probably was very busy in this period of time right?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Madam Lu didnât stay there for a long time, and she left after lunch. Not long after Madam Lu left, Lu Juntingâs mobile phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Xiao Ziâang calling. As soon as the phone was answered, Xiao Ziâangâs voice came over, âWhat are you doing?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âAt home.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âWhat are you doing at home on the weekend?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âTake care of the child.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">â...â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Every time he heard Lu Junting talk about taking care of the child, Xiao Ziâang had to choke a little bit. After all, the Lu Junting he knows was a little bit incompatible with that kind of home-type daddy.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âIsnât there a babysitter at home? Itâs hard to have a weekend, why not come out and have some fun? I havenât played in a long time, what about a couple of games?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Usually, Lu Junting would go to the company on weekends, he was a workaholic, work would give him a sense of fulfillment and accomplishment, but today the childâs mother was here, so he stayed at home.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting refused without thinking, âNo time, you can play by yourself.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting hung up the phone. After a while, Xiao Ziâang called again, Lu Junting originally did not want to answer, but Lin Xiyu, who was playing with the child on the side, said, âBrother Junting, you can go out if you have an appointment.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu junting remembered that when they were not divorced before, this little girl was not very happy with him at home.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Forget it, he was also a humanoid standing monument here, and the mother and son would not bring him to play, just as he had some things to ask Xiao Ziâang.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After Lu Junting hung up the phone, he said to Lin Xiyu, âThen, Iâm going out?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu nodded, but randomly asked again, âWhen will brother Junting come back?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hearing this, Lu Junting was a bit surprised. In the past when he went out, she never cared what time he would come back.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting said, âNot sure.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âNeed me to wait for you?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">â...â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Still⌠wait for him?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Did she need to wait for him?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting suppressed the doubts in his heart and said, âThereâs no need to wait for me.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting and Xiao Ziâang played a few games on the indoor basketball court. Both of them didnât have much energy to play, so they stopped after a few games when they got sweaty.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The two sat on a stool in the corner to rest. Lu Junting took a sip of water, and Xiao Ziâang asked him after he sat down, âYouâre not in shape today? What happened? It feels like youâre absent-minded.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He was really absent-minded, thinking about that boring question, why did she touch his hand.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting glanced at Xiao Ziâang. This kid was very good at flirting with girls, and should know more about a girlâs mind than him. He couldnât figure out this question, but he could let Xiao Ziâang help him solve his confusion.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting really wanted to know what she thought. He thought for a while and then said to Xiao Ziâang, âIf a girl hates you so much that she doesnât want to meet you, but suddenly one day, she touches your hand while you are asleep, why do you think that is?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Xiao Ziâang looked at him with a meaningful expression, âThat girl who hates you is your familyâs Xiao Xiyu, right?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting: â...â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">So easily seen by him, Lu Junting felt a bit ashamed and almost couldnât hold back a foul word. But he still said, âNo.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Xiao Ziâang didnât poke him either, he said, âWhatâs so hard to understand, surely thereâs something about your hand that attracts her.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting subconsciously raised his hand and glanced at it from the front and back, he really couldnât see anything special about his hand. Xiao Ziâang looked at his puzzled expression, and explained to him in the tone of a passer-by, âThe girlâs mind is very complex. Some girls have a face fetish, that is, she likes you if you look good. Some girls have hand fetish, such as your hands are particularly good-looking, which will make her temporarily forget her dislike and simply appreciate your hands. Some girls also have Adamâs apple control, in short, all kinds of strange fetish.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">So, she came to touch his hand because she thought his hand looked good?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">When Lu Junting came back it was already very late. Lin Xiyu and Little Baby were both asleep. Lu Junting pushed open the door of Little Baby with a light movement and took a look, and saw both mother and son were there. Although she had said that she wanted to remarry him, seeing that she was indeed lying here, he was inexplicably relieved.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Early the next morning, Lu Junting got up and went downstairs, and saw Lin Xiyu and Little Baby in the living room. Little Baby had a special dining chair for eating, and there was a small table on it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">At this time, Lin Xiyu squatted next to him to supervise him to eat breakfast, and when he went downstairs, he happened to hear Lin Xiyu say, âEat this dumpling.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Chengmao was not flexible enough to use the auxiliary chopsticks, the dumplings have not been clamped for a long time. Lin Xiyu was also very patient and didnât help, only encouraging him. After Chengmao picked up the dumplings and ate them, she applauded happily and said, âLittle Baby is awesome.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">When the child was praised, he would smile happily, looking quite cute with a few silly smiles.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu heard the voice and looked sideways, saw him, smiled at him, and greeted, âBrother Junting.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Smiling at him againâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Early in the morning, she rewarded him with a smile, Lu Junting felt that his mood was unconsciously better. He sat down on the sofa, and also softened his tone and asked, âWhat did he eat?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âLittle Baby wanted to eat dumplings, so I cooked him some dumplings.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The maid brought the coffee that Lu Junting wanted to drink, and when Lu Junting reached for the coffee, he suddenly remembered what Xiao Ziâang had told him yesterday.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He said that girls had all kinds of fetishes, and if it was a hand fetish, looking at his beautiful hands would make her temporarily forget her disgust for him and liked his hands.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Maybe this girl also had a hand fetish?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Since she liked his handsâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Before Lu Junting lifted the coffee, he deliberately coughed heavily, which attracted her attention. She looked over to him and Lu Junting stretched out his hand to pull the sleeve of his clothes up a little, slowly and methodically held the coffee cup in his hand, deliberately pointing the slender finger at her.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He pretended to naturally lower his head to drink coffee, but in fact he had been observing her expression, but she didnât seem to care too much, just subconsciously glanced back and turned back to continue talking to her son. Lu Junting looked down at his hand again, and she didnât seem to look at it much either? Was it not obvious?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thinking of this, Lu Junting moved to the side of the sofa, approached the chair where Lu Chengmao was sitting. He glanced at his meal plate and asked, âIs it delicious?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The little guy nodded and said, âGood.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Chengmao chewed things very slowly, and he liked to stuff a mouthful of chewing, he saw his sonâs cheeks building at this time, like a little hamster.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âWhy do you stuff your mouth until itâs bulging so much?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He deliberately extended his index finger on the side of his cheek, and when he did this, his eyes did not forget to subconsciously look at Lin Xiyu, but her attention did not seem to be on his finger. She looked at Lu Chengmao patiently and said, âEat slowly, eat it first and then eat another one later.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Chengmao chewed slowly. Lu Junting was unwilling and simply stretched out his index finger and thumb to pinch on his sonâs cheeks. The slender fingers pinched on it and said while pinching, âStuffing such a mouthful, like a little hamster.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The words were said to his son, but his eyes looked at Lin Xiyu, just about to directly say to her, look at my hands, donât you like these hands, look at them <i>ah</i>! Look at it <i>ah</i>!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Chengmao, who was pinched by his father, wrinkled a pair of his little eyebrows. Lin Xiyu also looked puzzled, what was Lu Junting doing? The child is eating, why pinch his face like this?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">ANd while pinching, he looked at her, as if he was deliberately doing it for her.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu didnât know what he was thinking, so this was how they interacted as father and son when she wasnât here? But looking at Little Babyâs expression, he seems a bit disgusted?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The two sides of her sonâs fleshy face were pinched out into two small meat, and Lin Xiyu, fearing that Little Baby would be uncomfortable, so he kindly reminded him, âBrother Junting, Little Baby is eating, how can he eat if you pinch him like this <i>ah</i>?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting: â...â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting also realized that he was acting a little deliberately, he was embarrassed, but he pretended to naturally withdraw his hand. Lu Chengmao, who was disturbed to eat, also said with a dissatisfied expression, âThis one is still eating, hate daddy!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting: â...â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting, who was hated, sat silently to the side again. He looked down at his hands, what was going on? Didnât she like his hand? He deliberately showed it to her, but she didnât look at it more?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thatâs why he shouldnât have believed Xiao Ziâangâs bullshit! What hand fetish!? If Xiao Ziâang were so experienced, he would not be a single dog until now.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">At this time, Xiao Ziâang, a single dog who had just woken up, sneezed heavily, and he pinched his nose. âShit! Who is fucking saying bad things about me?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu and others were adjusted, and had to help people make up classes on weekends, so she went to the club after taking care of her child and eating. Lu Yuan originally wanted to find her to go shopping, and when she learned that she was in the club, she came to find her there. The two went to the restaurant outside the club to eat together.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âI heard that you are going to remarry my eldest brother?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Madam Lu knew it, and it was not surprising that Lu Yuan also knew. Lin Xiyu admitted it readily, âYes.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âThatâs great, you know, I think you and my eldest brother are really a good match.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">â...â Lin Xiyu was a little embarrassed when she heard this. âAh? Really?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Yuan couldnât help but be surprised at her expression. Lin Xiyu saw this, glanced back and forth to her body and asked, âWhy do you look at me like this? Whatâs wrong with me?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Yuan propped her chin and looked at her with a meaningful expression. âDo you know, if I said this before, you would definitely have reacted a lot, and you were even likely to have a frightened expression, but now, youâre shy after hearing me say that you and my eldest brother are a good match. Tell me the truth, have you slowly accepted my eldest brother?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu couldnât help but be surprised by Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan was right, usually, hearing others say this, she would definitely react a lot, she and Lu Junting are a good match? How can that be?!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But now, hearing Lu Yuan say this, she was not so repulsive, and even really thought about it. Was she really a good match with Lu Junting?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Yuan continued, âAnyway, I support whatever choice you make, and I also hope that you and my eldest brother can be well. After all, thereâs still a child in common.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu nodded. âSince I choose to reconcile, I must want to go on well.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu and Lu Yuan returned to the club after eating, and soon after she returned, she received a WeChat friend request with the note âDeputy Manager of Changhengâs Publicity Departmentâ.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu left her phone number for the publicity department to facilitate contact, and it was not surprising that the Deputy Manager of the Publicity Department added her WeChat through her mobile phone number.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu still had a little impression of this Deputy Manager, looking slightly fat, he seemed to be called Wu Lin.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wu Lin: âMiss Linâs design draft is quite good.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu remembered that last time Wu Lin said that he would discuss and gave them a reply, so this could be regarded as a reply?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu: âThank you for the compliment, there are still many shortcomings.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wu Lin: âMiss Lin should know that our manager often travels, so Iâm responsible for the affairs of the Publicity Department.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu was very puzzled, what was the point of telling her this.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu: âEn, I know.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wu Lin: âSo, if Miss Lin wants to cooperate with us, itâs a matter of my words.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Why did this sound weird <i>ah</i>? Lin Xiyu asked directly: âIf deputy manager Wu wants to say something, you can say it directly.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It took a while for him to reply with a message: âI donât know if Miss Lin has time to come out for a meal, Iâll treat you. Miss Lin can eat whatever you want.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu was not a girl who just came out of society. As soon as he saw this text message, she knew what was going on, and this sense of dĂŠjĂ vu of âunspoken rulesâ should not be too strong.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu really didnât want to cooperate with Changheng, she just wanted to use this matter to meet Lu Junting. Since everyone she was going to say was told to Lu Junting and both of them were about to remarry, whether she could cooperate or not, she didnât force it at all. So, she directly threw the phone aside.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyuâs silence undoubtedly made Wu Lin very frustrated. Although Wu Lin was not a heartthrob in the company, he was still very popular with girls, after all, he had the ability to work, and his uncle was still a shareholder of Changheng.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wu Lin felt that he gave this girl surnamed Lin a chance to give her face, but he didnât expect that this girl was quite ungrateful.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu came home on time after work, the nanny was playing with Little Baby. Xiao Chengmao ran over with excitement as soon as he saw her, held up the assembled toy car in his hand and said, âMom, play together.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu knew that she owed Chengmao this year. As long as she had time, she wanted to accompany him more to make up for it. She would accompany her baby if he wanted her company, as long as he was happy.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting also went out for a meal in the afternoon, and when he came back in the evening, he saw the mother and son sitting on the cushion to get a toy car, and when they heard the sound, the two looked over and showed a very similar smile to him who came back. Both of their smiling eyes curved, bright and good-looking.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âDaddy.â The little one called out excitedly.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âBrother Junting.â The childâs mother also called out gently.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting suddenly felt a little stunned. He felt that at this time he seemed to be an ordinary man, with his own wife and child, a happy family, a satisfactory life. His wife and child would greet him with a smile when he came back from work.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Because he was rewarded with a smile by his wife and child, Lu Junting was in a very good mood. He stepped forward, sat down on the sofa next to the two and asked, âWhat are you playing?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Xiao Chengmao held up the assembled car and said, âDad, look.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">With an approving smile on his face, Lu Junting rubbed his little head and praised, âNot bad.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Xiao Chengmao giggled, thought of something and said, âMom also helped, mom is great too.â The little guy pointed to his head with a serious face. âDaddy needs to touch mommyâs head too.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting: â...â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">When the two heard the childâs words, they subconsciously glanced at each other. Lu Juntingâs face did not change much, but Lin Xiyu was a little embarrassed. What is Little Baby doing? How can he let his father touch her head?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Seeing her father not moving, Xiao Chengmao simply held his fatherâs wrist directly. How much strength could the little guy have, Lu Junting raised his hand along the strength of Little Baby, and then stretched out to Lin Xiyu with the little guyâs direction.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The little guy held up his fatherâs hand and said to his mother again. âCome here mom.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu glanced at Lu Junting, his face was calm, he couldnât see the rejection. Since Little Baby was so enthusiastic, she couldnât help but give a face to Little Baby, so she stretched her head over and pressed it against Lu Juntingâs palm.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Her hair was soft and slippery against his palm.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Did he really touch her <i>ah</i>? Lu Junting was surprised, he hid all the smiles in his heart, and subconsciously rubbed his fingertips on the top of her head a few times.</span></div></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">----------</span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><div><span style="font-size: large;">If you like my translation, please support me by buying me a coffee:</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><span><a href="https://ko-fi.com/oyen0710">https://ko-fi.com/oyen0710</a> </span><span>or </span><a href="https://trakteer.id/oyens">https://trakteer.id/oyens</a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b style="color: #e69138;"><span><span><a href="https://www.oyensblog.com/2023/09/using-marriage-as-bait-chapter-43.html">Previous Chapter</a> |</span></span></b><b><span><span><span style="color: #cc0000;"> </span><span style="color: #e69138;"><a href="https://www.oyensblog.com/p/using-marriage-as-bait.html">Table of Content</a> </span></span></span></b><span style="color: #e69138;"><b><span><span>| </span></span></b><b><span><span><a href="https://www.oyensblog.com/2023/10/using-marriage-as-bait-chapter-45.html">Next Chapter</a></span></span></b></span></span></div></div>Oyenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02923874792286361037noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-257116854364522428.post-51515700848099702232023-09-25T00:27:00.003+07:002023-10-15T09:01:45.267+07:00Using Marriage as Bait : Chapter 43<div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic0p1X9B9y7Rf4UNNiHTC4HCExiHApGjghmRBNp_uoCNIfq5ZsTSVxzv8gbTxFDVJXsdXQFDLbiyhmEAyN6NTJAVf5mvt28TN2_xv9Iw4K2OV7-frAEpn-x7QjHyRfpITNe7TZpT8vt2FdzMM435MxoVyAtcouUIjiam3rmRf_BgYBlpcSlidK0163ljM/s1200/using%20marriage%20as%20bait1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="1200" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic0p1X9B9y7Rf4UNNiHTC4HCExiHApGjghmRBNp_uoCNIfq5ZsTSVxzv8gbTxFDVJXsdXQFDLbiyhmEAyN6NTJAVf5mvt28TN2_xv9Iw4K2OV7-frAEpn-x7QjHyRfpITNe7TZpT8vt2FdzMM435MxoVyAtcouUIjiam3rmRf_BgYBlpcSlidK0163ljM/w640-h214/using%20marriage%20as%20bait1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>Happy reading~<span><a name='more'></a></span><b>Chapter 43: Brother Junting, Letâs Remarry</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu had a lot of things she wanted to say to Lu Junting in her heart, but she never found a suitable opportunity. She felt that now was the right time, when she knew that he still cared about her, they could talk about it calmly and peacefully.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu adjusted her breathing and said directly to him, âBrother Junting, I know that you once helped my family pay off debts, and I also know that my tuition and living expenses over the years have been given by you, thank you.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting was waiting for her to open her mouth to return the clothes and probably said something similar to âyou donât have to give me clothesâ, anyway, whether he intended to do so or not, she didnât care, so he took out the document and prepared to read it, waiting for her to return the clothes to reply lightly to her.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting was surprised, how did she know about this? So that was why she had been treating him differently all this time, not because she was being nice to him in order to spend more time with the child, but because of gratitude to him?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu continued, âIâm sorry brother Junting, I never knew about this before. Before the divorce, I knew that brother Junting cheated me to give birth to a child, and I had a grudge in my heart, so I didnât care about it and divorce you. Then, I learned that you helped my family pay off debts, and I thought about it carefully, itâs not right for you to lie to me to give birth to the child, but you helped me pay off my debts, you also paid for my schooling so that I can live, and you are also my benefactor to me. My gratitude for you far outweighs my hatred for you, so I donât want to dwell on the fact that you lied to me in the first place, and I choose to forgive the past things.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Donât care about it? Donât care that he lied to her? Just because of that more than 10 million? He still remembered that he had just taken over Changheng at that time, his position had not yet been secured, and his actions in the company were also subject to many constraints, and that more than 10 millions was not easy for him to take, but now it seemed that money was still worth spending.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Probably never thought that one day he would hear to word âforgiveâ from her mouth, so when he suddenly heard the words, his brain couldnât function for a while, and he didnât even know how to react, only put his tight hands on the table subconsciously to calm violent ups and downs in his mood.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu didnât wait for his response for a long time after speaking, she secretly looked at his expression. His expression didnât change much, a pair of ink-black eyes were too deep and sophisticated for people to see through.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Originally, she also made up a certain determination to say these words, so being stared at by him like this, she gradually became uneasy. Her heartbeat also accelerated a little under his direct gaze, and the shyness of being watched by him made her cheeks begin to burn, she lowered her head slightly, thinking to herself, why didnât he even say anything?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âSo⌠you forgive me, and thenâŚâ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">His voice suddenly came.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âThatâŚâ Lin Xiyu nervously rubbed her palms together, still not daring to look at his face, âActually I want to⌠If brother Junting is also willing to do so, how aboutâŚâ She glanced at his expression and continued, âHow about we remarry?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting: â...â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The weather was not very good today, it was already noon and it was still foggy outside. It looked like it was going to rain.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âLetâs remarry.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">What was she talking about? She actually mentioned remarriage to him?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting had never been a person who was resigned to his fate, he was used to taking everything into his own hands. He knew how to calculate and was good at guessing peopleâs hearts, but he miscalculated when she was going to divorce him despite everything.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Since that day, he had a feeling of being knocked to the ground by fate, and for the first time he believed in such a thing as fate.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The last person she wanted to marry was him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She never liked him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was something that seemed doomed from the start. They were not people of the same world, and they werenât meant to be together.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">So there was a lot of reluctance in this year, but he still figured out a lot of things, some things, really couldnât be forced.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He didnât even have expectations, so he was very reserved in the face of her sudden improvement in her attitude, because he understood that it was not because of him, and he knew that she wasnât going to come back to him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But now, she said she wanted to remarry him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was impossible to describe his mood at this moment, it was like a dark cloud suddenly opening up and a clear sky was in front of him. However, despite his complicated feelings, years of polishing still make him calm and comfortable.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Even those dark eyes didnât have much emotion in them, just looking at her like this.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He didnât say anything for a long time, and Lin Xiyu didnât know what he thought, and she also knew that he sudden statement would probably make people feel abrupt, after all, she was so cruel to him before the divorce.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu wanted to give herself a step, and then she said to him again, âBrother Junting doesnât have to answer me in a hurry, you can think about it, and then tell me when youâre done. Whatever answer brother Junting gives me, Iâll accept it.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting: â...â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âThis⌠no matter what answer brother Junting gives me, I thank you for helping my family pay off debts.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">â...â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">His silence made Lin Xiyu embarrassed. She laughed dryly and added, âThen, Iâll leave first, brother Junting take your time and get busy.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu left in a hurry, when she walked out of Changheng, she found that she still had Lu Juntingâs clothes in her hand, and now it was probably embarrassing to fold it up and return it to him, so she took it first, took his clothes and at least there would be a reason to meet him in the future.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting was sitting in his chair in such a dumbfounded manner, his elbows propped up on the table, with his palms supported his forehead to cover his expression, but a suppressed laughter overflowed from his mouth.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He didnât know how long it took, Lu Junting glanced sideways at the sky, when the sky broke open a crack, a bright halo of light revealed itself from the crack, as if the sun was really coming out.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After Lin Xiyu went back, she washed and ironed Lu Juntingâs clothes, hung it on the balcony and stared at his clothes for a while. She felt that his clothes were just like him, and after looking at it for a while, she felt her heart beat faster and her cheeks were hot. Lin Xiyu hurriedly patted her chest and closed the door of the balcony.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She sat on the sofa, still apprehensive in her heart, and hastily proposed remarriage to him. She didnât know if Lu Junting would agree or not.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After that, they still kept each otherâs phone numbers, but they were lying quietly inside their mobile phones, and no one dialed them for nearly a year.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This was the first time Lu Junting had called her in a year, and although she had only told him about remarriage, her attitude towards him had also improved, but listening to every âbeepâ on the phone, his breathing slowed down.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It didnât ring a few times and picked it up, and the moment the phone was picked up, Lu Juntingâs tight heart relaxed slightly.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She didnât know what was going on, Lin Xiyu was inexplicably nervous when she saw Lu Juntingâs all. She had only just mentioned the remarriage thing to him and he called her after that. Lin Xiyu was uneasy in her heart, would he refuse to remarry her? After all, she was so determined when divorcing him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">So she adjusted for a while before picking up, âBrother Junting?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Because of nervousness, Lin Xiyu felt that her tone was a little unnatural.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âYou pack your things, Iâll pick you up in the afternoon.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">â...â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âArenât we going to remarry?

He was going to take her back to live? She felt it was sudden, did he agree to remarry her?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu sat in the living room, the more she thought about it, the more unbelievable she felt. She couldnât help but laugh when she thought about it, and she laughed more and more.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting did not put the child in the company today. Mr. Lu and madam Lu wanted to play with their grandson and sent someone over early in the morning to take him back to the Lu family, so Lu Junting went directly to the Lu family to pick up the child after work.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting carried his son to the car and glanced at his bulging belly as he asked, âWhat did you eat that made your belly this big?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Chengmao thought carefully and said, âI ate buns, and crabs(xiexie, like thanks).â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âWhat thanks?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âIt has a lot of legs.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âCrab(pang xie, different xie)?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âEn.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting reached out and touched his little belly, bulging, and he said, âWhy do you eat so much?â He pinched his face again, tender and quite fleshy, âStill eating when youâre so fat.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hearing this, the little guy was immediately unhappy. âLittle Baby is not fat.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting was in a good mood today, deliberately teasing him, he touched his belly again, âNot fat. What is this?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Chengmao hummed angrily and opened his fatherâs hand, his mouth pouted and said dissatisfied, âThis baby is cute, itâs not fat, mom said this baby is cute.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting heard him mention his mother, he was in a better mood. The softness under his eyes grew even more as he said, âAlright, if your mom says itâs cute, then itâs cute.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âHmph.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The little guy snorted heavily, holding his arm and twisting his face to the side, even playing a little tantrum with him. Lu Junting suddenly remembered that Lin Xiyu was like this when she was little, twisting her face to the side when she was in a tantrum.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It really was⌠What kind of mother there is, what kind of cub.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting felt that his sonâs little appearance was very cute.

Lin Xiyu opened the door, and saw a tall and a short figure, the father and son standing at the door.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âMommy.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Xiao Chengmao exclaimed happily, and ran over with his little short legs and hugged his mother's legs.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu picked him up and kissed him on the face. âLittle Baby is also here?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Little Baby nodded heavily and said, âEn, pick up mommy.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting looked at his sonâs acceptance attitude in the face of his mother, completely unlike when he kissed him that his son would secretly wipe the place where he kissed when he could not see.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He did his best to be a father during the year of his divorce, but he still could not compete with the mother, who ran over with a smile.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">With a very complicated feeling, Lu Junting silently acted as a porter, and was particularly conscious of lifting that big suitcase out.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Seeing this, Lin Xiyu was stunned for a moment and asked, âDidnât brother Junting bring an assistant?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting didnât go back, dragging the big suitcase forward. âNo.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The family of three got into the car, and Lin Xiyu looked at the assistant sitting in the driverâs seat. He obviously brought the assistant, why did he personally help her move the suitcase? Lu Junting had been pampered since he was a child, and there were people to help him take care of his daily chores, so she didnât expect that he would do the rough work of helping her move the suitcase.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Back home, Lu Junting helped her move the suitcase into the house again, and he asked, âWhere will the suitcase be put?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This made Lin Xiyu stunned, if he wanted to live with her, he shouldnât have asked that, but it seemed a little abrupt to share a room right after remarrying. After all, they had been so stiff before the divorce.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu said, âPut it in my room first.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting didnât say anything, and silently lifted the suitcase up.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Dinner was eaten together as a family, and Lu Chengmao could eat by himself, with the practice chopsticks and spoon, though his movements were slightly clumsy, and Lin Xiyu would occasionally help him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting looked at the mother and son sitting opposite him, the little girl was helping the little cub to remove the rice particles stuck to the corners of his mouth, he was suddenly in a bit of a trance, as if there was not much change from before the divorce, and everything looked so warm, but he felt a little unreal.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">However, she was back now, even if they couldnât go back to the time when they lived in harmony as husband and wife, it was better than him and the child being eye-to-eye without her.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">When Lu Junting lowered his head to eat, the corners of his mouth unconsciously lifted.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Juntingâs mobile phone rang at this time, it was a call from Madam Lu.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âWhat are you doing?â Madam Lu asked.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âEating.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âWhat do you think about what I told you last time? Act as soon as possible after considering it.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">What else could Madam Lu tell him other than urging him to chase his wife back.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting glanced at the little girl opposite who had decided to remarry him, and was about to explain the situation truthfully, but before he could speak, Madam Lu said in an angry tone, âYou do not think for your own sake you at least think about Chengmao <i>ah</i>, yo donât take advantage of the fact that there are still a little bit of heat to chase her back, wait for a few years, and the feelings will face, your wife will fly away and really gone. I will tell you bluntly today, if you donât chase after your wife, you will obediently come back for a blind date.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Why did this old lady worry again? Lu Junting frowned and said, âWhat blind date?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Madam Lu said, âThen you canât be a bachelor for the rest of your life, right? I still have a few more years to live, canât you put me at ease?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âAlright, old madam, Xixi and I have decided to remarry.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Madam Lu was caught in a weird silence. After a long time, she let out a surprise laugh, the sound was not strained and it startled Lu Junting.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âAre you serious?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âWhat did I lie to you for?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âWhen did this happen <i>ah</i>?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âIâll tell you more about it later, Iâm going to eat now.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Madam Lu was in a good mood, she was especially good at talking, and hurriedly said, âFine, fine, you eat first.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting put the phone aside, vaguely sensing that the atmosphere was not right. He glanced at the other side, but saw that the little girl was eating with her head down, Xiao Chengmao had a mouthful of rice in his mouth, his cheeks were bulging, and he was slowly swallowing at the moment, his big eyes were looking at him without blinking.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting said in a bad mood. âWhat are you looking at me for? Eat yours.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As soon as his words fell, he saw that the little girl who was eating suddenly stopped moving. Lu Junting frowned, and immediately reflected on the fact that he seemed to have spoken a little harshly in that sentence just now?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Did she think he was being meant to the child? Would he need to explain?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu picked up her rice and didnât look at him, but said as if she was casually asking, âWeâve only been divorced for a year, and brother Junting is so anxious to find a stepmother for Chengmao?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting: â...â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">What stepmother? Why is it so messy?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The little meat dumpling wrapped a bulging cheek of rice, and he didnât chew it. His round eyes stared at him so directly, and didnât know if he understood the words his mother said or not.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting said, âItâs not like that.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu said, âDidnât you guys talk about blind dates?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting didnât want his wife to be misunderstood just after she came back, he was about to explain, but saw Lu Chengmao, who had been staring at his father, suddenly frowned and said with a serious face, âDonât want a stepmother.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">His sonâs little adult-like tone made Lu Junting feel funny, did this little cub know what a stepmother was? He wrapped a mouthful of food, and his speech was not clear. When he saw his father look over, he repeated with a serious face, âDonât want a stepmother, want mommy.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting couldnât help but smile and said, âOkay I know, donât worry, thereâs no such thing as a stepmother. Swallow the rice in your mouth before you speak, how many times have I taught not to have rice wrapped in your mouth.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">However, as soon as his words fell, he saw that the little guyâs small mouth was deflated, and his little fleshy face suddenly became aggrieved, his big eyes flickered, and soon there were crystal tears.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Seeing this, Lin Xiyu hurriedly picked him up from the chair and put him in her arms. She held his face and comforted, âWhatâs wrong? Okay, itâs okay, letâs eat first, okay?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The little guy threw himself in his motherâs arms and hugged his mother tightly, whining and crying, and said while crying, âI want mommy not stepmother, want mommy.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting frowned and said, âDidnât I say that there is no stepmother? Why are you still crying?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He probably didnât know that his tone was particularly stern when he got serious, so when Lu Chengmao heard him say that, Little Baby cried even more.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting: â...â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Even the child misunderstood, Lu Junting was afraid that the childâs mother would also misunderstand, he added, âI donât have any blind dates.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu nodded, âOkay, got it.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After she said it, she hurriedly comforted Little Baby, âOkay, Chengmao, donât cry, there wonât be a stepmother, youâll only have your mommy, as long as you have your mommy, you wonât have a stepmother.â Lin Xiyu held his sonâs face and helped him wipe his tears away, âOkay, letâs eat first, you canât cry when you eat a meal, otherwise your belly will hurt.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The little guy choked and nodded, but was still huffing and puffing.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting had been wondering if he hadnât explained himself clearly, and was about to explain it again, just when he heard this sentence,</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âAs long as you have your mommy, you wonât have a stepmother.â It sounded like she was giving him the impression that as long as she was there, she could stop him from finding another woman.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Of course, he also knew that these words were just comforting words for Chengmao, but because of this, he imagined that she stopped him from finding a woman. Although it was just a fantasy, inexplicably, his mood suddenly became very happy.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">At night, Lin Xiyu slept with Little Baby. Little Baby was very happy and played with her until very late before falling asleep. Before falling asleep, Little Baby hugged Lin Xiyu tightly, sleepy-eyed and said to her, âMommy will always live in Daddyâs house, okay?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu smiled and said, âOkay.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu slept in Chengmaoâs room at night, and Lu Junting got up early the next morning and passed by the room to see that the door was open. There was no one inside, he didnât know where the mother and son went.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting was about to go downstairs to ask the nanny, just walked down the stairs and saw the mother and son returning from the backyard. He saw the mother and son each carrying a basket, Lin Xiyuâs basket was bigger, and the little oneâs basket was a mini version.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">When Lin Xiyu saw him come down and said, âLittle Baby wants to eat strawberry pie. I saw that the strawberries in the backyard were ripe and took him to pick some.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The little guy had forgotten last night that he cried angrily because his father was going to find a stepmother. The little body held up a small basket and said to him, âMake strawberry pie, pie, do daddy want to eat or not?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">His eyes were shining, and there was an innocent smile on his face. Lu Junting couldnât help but soften his expression when he looked at his sonâs appearance, and said, âEat.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The strawberry pie was very complicated. It was necessary to make jam, kneaded the dough, and finally it had to be baked. In the end, Lin XIyu was afraid that Little Baby would be burned, so she let him go out to play.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She made the strawberry pie without seeing anyone, and when she glanced out into the yard, she saw Little Baby running and playing with a windmill in the backyard, and Lu Junting was sitting under the pergola not far away. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">There was a pumpkin pergola in the backyard, which she made before the divorce. That backyard was still the same as when she left, the vegetables and fruits planted were still there, and the pergola was naturally there.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">At this time, Lu Junting was sitting under the pergola, and a cup of tea was placed on the pergola stone table. It was cool there, while drinking tea, and a leisurely Saturday afternoon passed like this.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu stepped forward with the prepared strawberry pie. As she got closer, she found that Lu Junting was leaning on the chair with his eyes closed. She didnât know if he was asleep.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu relaxed her movements, sat down on another chair, and put the strawberry pie on the stone table. She glanced at Little Baby, he was spinning the windmill and played vigorously. Lin Xiyu was afraid that calling him would affect Lu Juntngâs sleep, so she waited for him to come back to eat when he was tired of playing.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The weather was very good today, and it was warm enough in late spring. The scent of grass and trees was permeated around, and yellow flowers were bursting on the pumpkin shed.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">There were only Lu Junting and Lin Xiyu in the pergola, and with his eyes closed at this time, the aura on his body that blocked other people from getting close was much lighter, and Lin Xiyu was able to boldly look at him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">His face looked a little tired, and his eye sockets were glazed over a few times, as if he hadnât rested well. It was really tiring to have to work and took care of the child at the same time.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Juntingâs hands casually rested on the arm of the chair, the fingers were slender and distinct. Lin Xiyu stared at the fingers, vaguely feeling that his hand seemed to be thinner than before. Looking at it like this, it gave people a sense of toughness.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was only when he was asleep that she could get this close to him. She remembered that these fingers hadn't been this thin before, and thinking about the man who had stood downstairs from her that day at dusk, who was low and disheveled, and now looking at these hands of his, her heart felt like it was being stabbed. That day, she was held by these hands from behind, and his hoarse and deep voice came over, âXixi, I love you, I really love you. I canât live without you.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was also these hands that signed the divorce agreement with her.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">How disappointed he was that he would decisively agree to divorce her after trying to keep her on a low voice <i>ah</i>.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A gust of wind blew, and her heart seemed to be blown up, and she subconsciously reached over and held up his fingers with her palm. Confused, she quickly came back to her senses, suddenly realized what she had done, and suddenly looked up to see that he was still leaning in his chair with his eyes closed.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu carefully put his fingers down again, softened her voice as she got up to run over to Little Baby.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It wasnât until she ran away that Lu Junting slowly opened his eyes. He looked down at his fingers, and it took about a few seconds for the fingers to subconsciously move as if they were reacting.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She actually⌠touched his hand?</span></div></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">----------</span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><div><span style="font-size: large;">If you like my translation, please support me by buying me a coffee:</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><span><a href="https://ko-fi.com/oyen0710">https://ko-fi.com/oyen0710</a> </span><span>or </span><a href="https://trakteer.id/oyens">https://trakteer.id/oyens</a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b style="color: #e69138;"><span><span><a href="https://www.oyensblog.com/2023/09/using-marriage-as-bait-chapter-42.html">Previous Chapter</a> |</span></span></b><b><span><span><span style="color: #cc0000;"> </span><span style="color: #e69138;"><a href="https://www.oyensblog.com/p/using-marriage-as-bait.html">Table of Content</a> </span></span></span></b><span style="color: #e69138;"><b><span><span>| </span></span></b><b><span><span><a href="https://www.oyensblog.com/2023/10/using-marriage-as-bait-chapter-44.html">Next Chapter</a></span></span></b></span></span></div></div>Oyenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02923874792286361037noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-257116854364522428.post-7402860825737045802023-09-23T23:47:00.001+07:002023-10-17T11:07:48.886+07:00The Villains All Fell in Love with Me After Rebirth : Chapter 20 - Duel<div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiFfdJuSGlMfrLySHf2AilnN9wml3kUtxgfuJdWfdhsL158jPexd23pdEdNxq2WLP86JveHYn2n5Sj3OaAMfAaJ_hm_QLqvbtKeYUMlADLw1kfyyWorEzTjXpGoa8wmNNe-6NaBNCffn7cUZNtquKIFt1DtjHdjWPJFF0Lr8fIlsEj0jfxt7fazqxKa9Y/s1200/The%20Villains%20All%20Fell%20in%20Love%20with%20Me%20After%20Rebirth.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="1200" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiFfdJuSGlMfrLySHf2AilnN9wml3kUtxgfuJdWfdhsL158jPexd23pdEdNxq2WLP86JveHYn2n5Sj3OaAMfAaJ_hm_QLqvbtKeYUMlADLw1kfyyWorEzTjXpGoa8wmNNe-6NaBNCffn7cUZNtquKIFt1DtjHdjWPJFF0Lr8fIlsEj0jfxt7fazqxKa9Y/w640-h214/The%20Villains%20All%20Fell%20in%20Love%20with%20Me%20After%20Rebirth.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>This chapter is soooo longggg T^T, happy reading~<span><a name='more'></a></span><b>Chapter 20: Duel</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although it is now the interstellar era, the tradition of duels has been preserved. For the powerful Imperial Nobles, when there were irreconcilable contradictions, duels were their ultimate means of resolving conflicts and defending their honor.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A duel initiated by a noble, serious in nature and protected by the Imperial Law, could not easily be ended once it began, and was extremely sacred.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">And every duel would be broadcasted live on the whole network, attracting the attention of the entire empire.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Therefore, although this tradition was preserved, if it was not really a deep hatred, the nobles would never easily start a duel, because if they lost, they would lose their honor and at worst lost their lives.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Even for the high and mighty nobles, it was a battle of honor and life, a desperate gamble.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">With such an honorable status as Ji Ling, and⌠with a bad reputation, challenging a commoner, a commoner idol with the title of âRising Starâ, the shock effect on the Internet was no less than that of a ten-level tsunami! First of all, from the identity point of view, it was a big person bully the small person, and secondly, from the strength point of view, it was self-humiliated, and then associated with the previous scandal between Jing Sui and Ning Yu, the love-hate relationship behind this had been supplemented by everyoneâs brain for hundreds of thousands of words. The process was full of twists and turns, simply self-contained topic degrees, and the traffic and topics were constantly refreshed at every moment.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling didnât care about that, until he saw Ning Yuâs reply and he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He turned off the Internet, ignored the uproar outside and happily prepared to go up to deliver the dishes <i>la</i>.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was just that Ji Ling didnât care about the remarks outside, which didnât mean that the people around him didnât care.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The first people to come to him were his parents.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As soon as Madam Marina entered, she said anxiously, âBaby, what are you doing?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Grand Duke Ji Tingâs expression looked grave and said in a deep voice, âXiao Ling, youâre too impulsive.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling lowered his head and did not speak, in fact, no matter what the original owner was, at least his parents really loved him. Although he was just following the plot according to the original book, he still felt a little guilty looking at such a father and mother.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">I canât hurt anyone by doing this myself, the only thing that hurts is probably my father and mother.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Madam Marina looked at her sonâs dejected appearance, and her heart was very distressed. Her beautiful eyes were full of worry and she said to her husband, âYouâre too stern, you frightened the baby!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Grand Duke Ji Tingâs expression was ugly and for the first time, he didnât follow his wifeâs words, but instead accused in a deep voice, âItâs all because youâve spoiled him, that he does things so indiscriminately.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Madam Marina glared at him angrily with dissatisfaction. âWhy donât you say that the lowly commoner is too arrogant, what does he want? Why did he agree to a duel? Is he trying to step on our babyâs reputation to get to the top? I think heâs ambitious!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Grand Duke Ji Ting was very helpless and said, âIt was Xiao Ling who openly provoked him in the first place, and if he didnât agree, he would be told by others that he was afraid.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Madam Marina was even angrier. âI donât care, you tell me what to do now!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Grand Duke Ji Ting pressed his forehead, also very distressed. His son would never be able to beat Ning Yu, but avoiding a fight was equally humiliating.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was really hard to end things this way.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After all, this was not any other trivial matter in which one could use oneâs power over another, it was a sacred and fair duel <i>ah</i>! Even with his position of power as a Grand Duke, he had no right to stop it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling looked at his father and mother with sad expressions, was silent for a while, raised his head and said with a persistent gaze, âMom and Dad, Iâm sorry for making you worried⌠But whether I lose or win, I want to solve the problem face to face, please forgive me for my willfulness.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although he felt guilty, this was something he had to do.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Grand Duke Ji Ting and Madam Marina looked at him silently, and finally Madam Marina sighed and said, âDonât worry, mom wonât let anything happen to you.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">What can they do when their son is so persistent? In fact, what they most worried about was Ji Lingâs life and safety, not whether his behavior would bring shame to the Ji family; This was their beloved child and they didnât want to see him suffer a little bit of injury.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As long as Ji Ling can come back well, the rest can only follow him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling almost swore that he would be careful, and said for a long time before sending his father and mother away, exhaling heavily, and looking in the direction of the door with some disbelief.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling: [System, you said, if one day I go home, what will they doâŚ]</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">System: [I think youâre thinking a little too much.]</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling: [?]</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">System: [As long as you can complete the mission to bring this world back on track, naturally everything is fine, there will always be a way to do anything, but⌠Are you sure that you will complete your mission?]</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling: [...]</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Where in the world does he get the idea to speak heartfelt words with this âtouching the sore spotâ system? :)</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The time of the duel was set for three days later, but Ji Ling was not destined to spend these three days in peace.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Early the next morning, Ji Ling welcomed Wen Yan, who came to persuade him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling was a little surprised by this. Wen Yan in the previous life did not persuade him on this matter, this villain was the most insidious and cunning, he would only speak according to his own thoughts, superficially gloating to see his jokes behind his back. How could he risk persuading him while being disgusted and disliked?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But this time Wen Yan came.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wen Yan walked in, he was dressed in a long black robe, his long silver hair tied behind his head, and his black eyes were full of complicated emotions as he said, âDo you really want to duel with Ning Yu?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Lingâs character would never collapse, and he nodded his head vigorously, âYes!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wen Yan looked at the teenagerâs persistent eyes, stubborn tone, but his heart was extremely heavy, remembering everything that happened in the previous life, no matter what, he didnât want Ji Ling to duel with Ning Yu, it was just self-inflicted humiliation, but⌠Ji Ling still reached this step.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Some things were inevitable, and even if one was reborn, one could not stop it in the end.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thinking of this, Wen Yanâ heart had a strong sense of resentment and dissatisfaction with Jing Sui. The teenager loves you like this, why canât you just care a little about his mood, on the contrary, to force him to this point?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">His right hand clenched tightly, and after a while, he took out a box from his arms and bent down to open it respectfully in front of Ji Ling.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling glanced at it suspiciously, inside was a small purple plant with beautiful crystal-like leaves.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wen Yanâs thin lips opened slightly, and said slowly, âThis is a medicinal herb that grows in the earthâs fire streams of the Ressa Star, as long as you take it, even a powerful evolutionary will produce the illusion of being terminally ill, which canât be detected by any instrument. It itself doesnât have any harmful effects on the human body, and the effect naturally disappears after two months.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling looked at Wen Yan suspiciously, and after a few seconds, he figured out that he was actually trying to hinder him from dueling with Ning Yu! He immediately revealed an angry expression and shouted, âWhat do you mean by this, youâre asking me to pretend to be sick to avoid the duel?!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wen Yan looked at Ji Lingâs angry expression, and although he knew that his next words might make the teenager even angrier, he still raised his eyes to stare at him, and said word by word, âIf you use this, you will have a suitable reason to postpone the duel, and when things have cooled down, I will naturally have a way to make this matter go away.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling waved his hand violently to knock over the box in Wen Yanâs hand. His eyes seemed to have anger burning in them as he glared at him and shouted, âAre you looking down on me? Do you also think Iâm inferior to that lowly commoner?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wen Yan looked at his carefully prepared herbs rolled on the ground just like this, and then looked up at the teenagerâs stubborn and unyielding appearance, with deep bitterness under his eyes, and slowly said, âI donât mean this, I justâŚâ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Fearing that he would continue to talk more, Ji Ling angrily shouted, âGet out, get out of here!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Saying that, he pushed Wen Yan out forcefully, slamming the door heavily with a thud.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Youâre trying to ruin my plans!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">No one can stop my determination to deliver the dishes!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After he closed the door, he carefully peeked through the gap and found that Wen Yan was still standing outside and refused to leave. His expression was grave, and in his narrow phoenix eyes were full of complicated worry and helplessness.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Gee, it looks like you really care about me.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Letâs assume that you are also reborn, but donât think Iâll believe you. Youâre a guy who had evil intentions in the previous life, full of bad intentions, and youâre not soft when it comes to screwing people over. Iâve hurt your self-esteem like this, and Iâve been treating you like an underling, so whatâs the reason for you to be concerned about me? Even if youâre reborn, youâll only hate me more, right?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wait a minute⌠shouldnât this guy want to trick him into eating poisonous herbs in order to take revenge on himself?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Itâs getting more and more vicious!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling glanced at the herbs on the ground with a palpitation, took a tissue and carefully picked it up with two fingers, and quickly threw it into the trash can. Then he ignored Wen Yan and turned his head to continue sleeping.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As soon as Ji Ling woke up, it was in the afternoon and when he got up, he saw that Wen Yan had finally left. However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard the servant hurriedly come over and report. âYoung Master, Marshal Brandon is here.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The servant looked terrified, his steps were hurried, and before his words fell, Ji Ling saw Brandon striding like the wind. The tall and burly man looked cold, and his cold expression was like he was on the battlefield of slaughter, no wonder that the servant was scared out of his wits.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling stood up with a huff, showing the same look of surprise. How could Brandon come to his house to see him, it wasnât like he had any friendship with him!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thatâs a bit too much, right?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon stood in front of Ji Ling, his eyes were extremely complicated, looking at the teenager in front of him intently. After all, he did not listen to his own advice to not challenge Ning Yu. Was he really unable to stop him? Brandon opened his mouth and let out a low, astringent voice, âYouâre going to duel Ning Yu.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling suppressed the surprise in his heart, looked at him with his head held high, and raised his eyebrows. âSo what if it is?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon had countless words of dissuasion in his heart, but he knew that Ji Ling would not listen to him, and in the end, only one sentence remained in a thousand words. âThen letâs fight openly and honestly, it doesnât matter if you lose.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">If Ji Ling used an honorable method, how can I show my despicable and vicious character, how can it set off Ning Yuâs extraordinary valor? He sneered. âYou think highly of your good subordinate very much, so sure he can beat me.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon looked helpless, he had long been accustomed to Ji Lingâs style of speaking. In fact, the teenager was just jealous, so he pretended not to hear at all, and slowly said, âIâll be on your side.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling snorted and said, âI think you want to see my jokes!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon shook his head. âNo.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling had a look of disbelief on his face, and after some verbal battle, he finally took Brandon away.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He watched Brandonâs back as he left, but didnât relax because maybe Carlos would be here at some point. Didnât this old fox always pretend to care about him?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling waited nervously, waited and kept thinking about how to deal with Carlos later, but Carlos didnât even comeâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Duke Mansion.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos sat in the study, holding a book with a black cover in his hand, the same one that Ji Ling had often flipped through when he had stayed in his home before. However, if one looked closely, one could tell that his eyes didnât fall on the book, and there was a dark and gloomy look under his eyes.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In fact, he got the news as soon as Ji Ling challenged Ning Yu, but he didnât go to see Ji Ling.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Because he knew very well that Ji Ling would not change his mind.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The teenager seemed weak, willful, and arrogant⌠In fact, his heart was more persistent and firm than anyone, and therefore, he can love someone infatuatedly with no regrets, right?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Sometimes Carlos thought that it might be a good thing if the teenagerâs heart could be a little more fickle.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Unfortunately, the teenager had the least fickle heart.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Let yourself be so adored, yet feel powerless and miserable for it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Anderson stood with his head lowered, breathing lightly, lest he disturbed the contemplative Duke.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">For a long time, Carlos slowly put down the book in his hand, the cold look in his brown pupils swept by, his voice was low and he slowly spoke, âKill Ning Yu, remember to do it cleanly.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Since it was impossible to stop the teenager, as long as he killed Ning Yu, the problem would naturally be solved.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He didnât want to make a move to Ning Yu now, but he couldnât stand the idea of Ji Lingâs reputation being tarnished in public even more. As long as Ning Yu happened to have an âaccidentâ, then even if someone suspected, what would they dare to say?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Anderson looked at His Excellency the Dukeâs indifferent order, but he could feel the killing intent under his calm words, and he bent down to say, âYes.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos nodded, and said, âGo ahead.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling knew nothing about this, and seeing that Carlos did not come to persuade him, he was happy and relaxed. Soon, the day of the duel came.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After a few days of fermentation, the news of this duel had been overwhelming on the Internet, which had dominated the headlines of major websites, and major media had flocked to the venue, all gathering in the duel arena, with unprecedented grandeur.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">When Ji Ling came to the duel arena and went to his preparation room, he happened to pass by Ning Yu.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In order to express his jealousy and dissatisfaction with Ning Yu, Ji Ling stopped and said fiercely to him, âYou wait and see, I will defeat you!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ning Yu looked at him, his emerald green eyes looked calm and indifferent. There was a wistful smile on his lips, âReally? Then bring out your full strength and let me seeâŚâ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He leaned close to Ji Ling, stared into his eyes and said slowly and meaningfully, âLet me see what you can do for him.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling fell into Ning Yuâs deep gaze, and there seemed to be some kind of emotion in the depths of those eyes that he couldnât understand, which made him lose his mind for a moment⌠But he quickly collected his mind and snorted coldly, ready to continue to make his wild remarks to Ning Yu.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As a result, Ning Yu had already turned around and left without hesitation, leaving him with a tall and powerful back that was gradually leaving.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling opened his mouth: â...â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The vicious statement that had not yet been said had to be swallowed. He snorted and turned to walk towards his preparation room.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He first called his servant, whispered a few words in the servantâs ear, instructing him to go and give Ning Yu a bad time, and then began to wait nervously.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In order to ensure the fairness of the duel, both sides of the duel use the same standard mecha, otherwise if they could just use their own mechas, the competition would not be about strength, but financial strength.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">However, in this case, it was very unfavorable to Ji Ling, using the same mecha, then Ning Yu, a high-level evolutionary who had experienced hundreds of battles to beat the waste Ji Ling, which was basically the degree of full-level abuse of the vegetables. Although the original owner was a stupid and toxic love brain character, he also knew that he couldnât beat Ning Yu⌠So he ordered the servant to tinker Ning Yuâs mecha in an attempt to win by despicable means, but such an act was absolutely not allowed by Imperial Law.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As a result, he was dishonored in his previous life.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling seriously walked through the plot, only in this way could he threaten Ning Yu in such a desperate situation, making Jing Sui furious and personally take action to defend Ning Yu!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The servant came back soon after going out, giving Ji Ling a look of getting it done. Ji Ling settled his mind, everything is ready, all we need is the east wind!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">At the VIP seat of the duel, Carlos sat on the sofa, holding his cane in both hands, and there was a gloomy and dark cold look in his eyebrows.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Anderson had been by his side for many years, things had always been stable and reliable. In order to make Ning Yu âaccidental deathâ, he searched for three SS-class evolutions to join forces to surround and kill Ning Yu. It stood to reason that Ning Yu would definitely die, but⌠they failed.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ning Yu escaped from the three pursuers by chance, and then hid in Brandonâs home, leaving him with no chance to strike again.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But it really was⌠luck?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos always believed that the so-called luck was just a coincidence. As long as the preparation was sufficient, there was no such thing as luck. For the opponent he wanted to fight, he would never give the other party this kind of âluckâ, but this time, Ning Yu luckily escaped.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He did not show any unusual abilities, the timing of his escape was full of coincidence, and he was seriously injured, which really seemed to be just luck.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">So, was it a so-called luck, or was he hiding his strength?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos narrowed his eyes slightly. Perhaps, this person was not as simple as it seemed, he might underestimate this person.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The other VIP rooms were filled with people.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wen Yan looked at the field with his brows furrowed tightly, his eyes were gloomy. In the end, there was still no way to stop Ji Ling and stop this duel⌠for now, he could hope that Ji Ling was safe and sound.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon was in another room, also paying attention to the situation inside. His heart was equally heavy, no matter what, he would not let anything happen to Ji Ling.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">At the same time, countless other nobles came to the scene and paid attention to this unprecedented duel.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Netizens who could not come to the scene watched the live broadcast on various occasions.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The topic of discussion on the Internet had built one tall building after another, almost all of them ridiculing Ji Lingâs self-sufficiency, and even betting that he would lose this duel in a few minutes.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âA waste like Ji Ling, our great Ning Yu can casually beat up a hundred of him.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âA hundred is less, are you looking down on our great Ning Yu? Our great Ning Yu is an S-class evolutionist!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âSome people just canât measure themselves, others donât bother with him, and he has to send himself for others to beat him up. Letâs just wait and see what happens.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âBrother Ning go <i>ah</i>! Give that waste noble a little lesson!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âGreat Ning Yu is the best!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling sat in the mecha, feeling nervous, and naturally ignorant of what was going on outside.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although this plot had gone through once in the previous life, it was still very apprehensive to start over again, as an ordinary young man from a harmonious society, mecha, a thing that had only been seen in Japanese manga. He never dreamt that he could personally use it in person.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Fortunately, after countless years of development, the ultra-high Imperial civilization had made mecha, something that used to be extremely difficult to drive and had a very high threshold, intelligent to the point where almost any evolved person could drive it, but despite that, the driverâs combat awareness was still very important and played a decisive role.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">If he didnât get his hands dirty, Ji Ling would definitely be beaten up.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, watched the door in front of him slowly open, grabbed the lever with both hands, and rushed out with a bang!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Two mechas appeared in the duel arena with a bang, scattering dust, and the surrounding audience screamed one after another.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling couldnât hear clearly, just staring at the front. Although he did the tricks, he still needed to survive the first few minutes before Ning Yuâs mecha failed, otherwise he would be defeated before Ning Yu had an accident, which was too uglyâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although the two mechas were exactly the same standard mecha, Ning Yu was white and Ji Ling was red, which was to make it easier for the viewer to distinguish.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In order to be able to resist under Ning Yuâs hand for a few more minutes, Ji Ling also spent a lot of effort in simulation learning. Although learning this kind of combat machine made his head go bald, in order to complete the mission, he could!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In the next second, the white mecha on the opposite side moved.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling concentrated his attention, pulled out the laser long sword on the mecha and greeted him as if he were dying!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He was very self-aware, did not even think about defeating Ning Yu, his aim was how to avoid Ning Yuâs attacks, and tried to drag Ning Yu out for a longer period of time. Donât look at the usual wimpy Ji Ling, he belongs to the kind of person who can play beyond normal when he is under high pressure. He used to be average when he was studying in school, but he was always better than usual when he encountered a big exam, which was in fact a performance of a very good psychological quality.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The stricter and tougher the situation, the more his potential was stimulated.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In fact, some clues could be seen from the fact that he could calmly deal with it instead of completely messing up when surrounded by many bigwigs.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The white mechaâs attack was very ferocious, the action was fluent and smooth, worthy of being a soldier who had been fighting for a long time. Ji Ling dodged very hard and looked wretched. It was difficult to escape from Ning Yuâs hands again and again, but the gap in strength was too big after all, and Ji Ling was finally caught up by Ning Yu after dodging several times.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ning Yu slashed at his mechaâs left arm with a sword, cutting off the mechaâs left arm entirely, sending out a burst of electric sparks.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling rolled out on the ground and turned to run as he saw Ning Yu approaching again.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Just like that, you chase me, you hit me and I hide, a few minutes passâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling was suddenly dumbfounded, something was wrong <i>ah</i>!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Heâhe should have been avoiding him for several minutes, right? It stood to reason that Ning Yuâs mecha should have had a problem, but why⌠Ning Yu doesnât seem to be in any trouble right now!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Finished, I canât hold it anymore ahhh!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Heâs not going to be killed just like this, right?!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The audience online complained while watching the live broadcast.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Seeing that Ji Ling was beaten by Ning Yu without the power to fight back as soon as he stepped onto the field. He was completely looking like a rat holding his head, and each of them were gloating.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âI told you there was no suspense, I thought Young Master Ji would last a few more minutes.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âI think heâs going to be beaten on his knees and begging for mercy in no time.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âItâs really a shame to the nobles, this is what the current Imperial Nobles are like <i>ah</i>, not even worthy of lifting great Ning Yuâs shoes.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âHahahahahaha, I can laugh about this for a whole year!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Everyone happily watched Ji Ling being beaten and rolling all over the ground.

After all, so many people have been reborn.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thinking of this, Ji Lingâs heart was extremely sad and indignant, that group of fraudulent villains <i>ah</i>!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">I know that you guys donât have good intentions, and youâre all helping Ning Yu, right!

Of course, I plan to trouble Ning Yu because of âjealousyâ!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Lingâs eyes blinked, revealing a heartbroken expression, as if he couldnât accept such an answer at all, and muttered, âImpossible, how could you like such a lowly personâŚâ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The corner of Jing Suiâs lips were raised, and he slowly said, âWhy is it impossible?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As soon as Ji Ling heard this, his happy eyes filled with tears, and he asked in an exasperated tone, âI like you so much, why donât you like me?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui smiled, his voice was indifferent, and said with a teasing gaze, âWho said that if others like me, I must respond back?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">His smile was calm and without the slightest disdain. It could even be said to be elegant and pleasing to the eye, even the curve of the corners of his lips seemed perfect. However the calmer and indifferent he was, the more people felt that they were not put in his eyes.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling bit his lip with a pale face, unwilling to accept the truth, and seemed to have to ask for an answer, âThat lowly Ning Yu, what is there to like about? Where am I inferior to him?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui raised his eyebrows, as if he had heard some funny joke. He looked deeply at Ji Ling, let out a chuckle, and said clearly and slowly, âApart from this noble identity of yours, where can you compare to him?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although he didnât have much thought about Ning Yu now, this did not prevent him from looking down on Ji Ling like this.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">And Ji Ling, who had no self-awareness, was by no means a minority among todayâs imperial nobles. They were drunkenly corrupt and degenerate, and had long forgotten that they were just a weak human. They were addicted to their current status and power, ignoring those weak people who they looked down on, in fact, also had great potential and threats.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Even if todayâs Empire seemed extremely powerful, these degenerate and corrupt nobles would ultimately be the root cause of the Empireâs decline.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling deeply agreed with these words, thinking that it was still the male protagonist who went for the plot that was the most powerful! He thought that he finally had a reason to go to Ning Yu for a duel! This was an important plot that set off Ning Yuâs ability and promoted the<i> gongâs</i> and <i>shouâs</i> feelings <i>ah</i>!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although he was excited in his heart, he showed a humiliated expression on his face, and said in disbelief, âYou, you think Iâm inferior to him!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui looked at him indifferently, and the light in his golden pupils was cold.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Despite not saying a word, only meeting those indifferent eyes, it was as if he was an unreasonable waste of space, a ridiculous joke.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling stumbled back two steps, revealing a heartbroken expression, estimating that today was enough. He was about to turn around and leave when he was suddenly pulled by a strong hand from the side. The hard and strong arm tightly bound him in a thick and hot embrace, so hard that it almost made him breathless!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He turned his head in amazement, and met Brandon's cold and sharp face. There was undisguised worry and pity in the manâs gray pupils. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Lingâs face went pale: â...â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brothers, come on, donât be like this, Iâm so panicked if you do this.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon entered the palace to see Jing Sui and wanted to discuss with him about Carlosâs recent abnormal behavior. He suspected that Carlos was also reborn, and the reborn Carlos was undoubtedly a huge threat to them, and the matter had reached the point of urgency.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But he saw the scene he didnât want to see as soon as he came in.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The teenager took a step back in a trance, looking at Jing Sui with his blue eyes, so desperate and painful that it made his heart seize up at once.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon was familiar with Jing Sui. Even if he didnât see everything before, he could guess what happened, and he was angry and sad in his heart, feeling indignant for the teenager.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although the teenager was not strong enough, he was actually very brave in his heart. Not only is this weak teenager braving himself to cross a mountain of fire and a sea of daggers to save him, but also fights hard to save you in the midst of danger, even finally dying in Carlosâs hand for you.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">What qualifications do you have to look down on him?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Despise him and hurt him like that?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon thought of this, almost furious. He firmly protected Ji Ling in his arms, looked at Jing Sui with a cold and sharp gaze, and said coldly, âWhat are you doing?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Suiâs brows furrowed slightly, the last time at the banquet he felt that something was wrong with Brandon. Now, seeing Brandon defending Ji Ling like this again, his eyes couldnât help but sink, and his thin lips tightened.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling was a little dumbfounded when he looked at this scene, but quickly came back to his senses, lest the reborn Brandon continue to confront Jing Sui and say something that should not be said, which would bring trouble for himself in going through the plot, finally revealing a slightly anxious look.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It doesnât matter if you are reborn, it doesnât matter, you can do whatever you want⌠but donât spoil my business <i>ah</i>, donât spoil my dear and cute protagonist <i>ah</i>!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling blinked with tears in his eyes, took a deep breath, and said loudly, âLet go of me!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon was anxious and pitying in his heart just now, and subconsciously hugged Ji Ling directly. When he saw him struggling with red eyes, his heart ached, and he instantly let go of his hand.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling turned around and ran.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon glanced at Jing Sui fiercely, and then at Ji Ling, who ran away. His eyes were cold and he turned his head to chase out without hesitation.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling listened to the movement behind him with his ears pricked up while running, and saw that Brandon really chased him out. He let out a sigh of relief, finally he had lured Brandon away from Jing Suiâs side, he had to find an opportunity to solve this trouble alone.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He deftly wandered through the familiar palace gardens, turned a corner, his eyes darted over the stone on the ground in front of him, deliberately rushed over without looking, and with a plop, he tripped and fell to the ground. There was a hot pain in the palm of his hand, fuck⌠it hurts so much ahhhhh!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thinking of his sacrifice for acting, he couldnât help but burst into tears. He sat on the ground and turned around, seeing Brandon striding over, reaching out to help him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling put his hands on the ground and stepped back, his face was pale, and he said in horror and distancing, âDonât come over!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon looked at the teenager sitting on the ground, and his blue eyes filled with fear of alienation, his slender body trembled slightly. This scene was like a sword stabbed into his heart. Is he so terrible? In fact, he doesnât want to hurt him at all <i>ah</i>âŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This kind of Ji Ling made it almost difficult for him to continue, but Brandon remembered the previous life, remembered that Ji Ling challenged Ning Yu because he listened to rumors on the Internet, and because he was stimulated by Jing Sui, he was jealous and challenged Ning Yu and finally became the laughing stock of the whole Internet⌠He still stepped forward firmly, looked at Ji Lingâs eyes seriously, and said in a hoarse voice, âI wonât hurt you.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In fact, this sentence was said by Brandon last time, but at that time, Ji Ling did not associate it with his rebirth, so he did not believe it. However, now that he had some guessing in his heart, thinking that Brandon was not a hypocrite who liked to lie, he wasnât too afraid anymore.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But despite this, Ji Ling still pretended to be suspicious and looked at him vigilantly. âThen what do you want from me?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon saw that Ji Ling was finally willing to listen to him, and tried to show a gentle expression, âI want to tell you that you are no worse than Ning Yu, and you donât have to prove anything to others.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling: â...â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Big brother, you have exposed the fact that you are reborn!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon looked at Ji Ling seriously. He really thought so in his heart, and there was no half-assedness in that sentence.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In the previous life, he was also blinded by Ji Lingâs dandy appearance, failing to see the inner beauty of the teenager, but not in this life. The value of the military was never the absolute standard to measure a person. Although Ning Yu was very good and powerful, Ji Ling was not worse than him. He sincerely believed that although the teenager was weak, his brave and firm heart was not inferior to anyone.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Unfortunately, because of Jing Suiâs neglect and contempt, coupled with the inducement of the group of fox and dog friends around him, he went down the wrong path step by step, and finally put himself in a situation of no return.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In this life, he did not want to see the teenager go on the path of the previous life again.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He could have had a better life.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon bent down and carefully helped Ji Ling up, his movements were unprecedentedly gentle, as if he was holding a fragile treasure. He looked at the blood from the teenagerâs palm with distress, held the teenagerâs hand, gently helped him wipe the blood stains with his sleeve, and said in a deep voice, âYouâre very good, really.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling looked at Brandonâs cold face. Seeing him say such words so solemnly, such a simple compliment although it was too simple compared to Carlos and the others, rhetoric was not gorgeous enough, but for this man who was good at words, it was almost all he could express, right? ⌠He was affirming him very seriously.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But Ji Ling almost wanted to cry.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In his previous life he had saved Brandonâs life once, but he had been very successful in wearing down Brandonâs goodwill with his own nasty words, and had gone well enough to the end not to make Brandon genuinely like him. Why do you suddenly find out that Iâm better after youâre reborn?!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">What about the iron-blooded marshal with a clear cut between love and hatred <i>ah</i>? What happened to the affectionate male lead who secretly loved Ning Yu?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Itâs not okay to be so fickle <i>ah</i>!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But nothing in this world can stop my determination to go home, and nothing can stop me from continuing to go with the plot!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling once again sacrificed that âI donât believe, I donât listenâ, staring at Brandon with distrustful eyes and louding accusing, âDonât lie to me, you would think that Iâm no worse than Ning Yu? Ning Yu is clearly your favorite subordinate, if it wasnât for you, would he, a lowly commoner, have a chance to stand out?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandonâs eyes looked painful, he was speechless. Ji Ling was right, Ning Yu was indeed promoted by him, he opened his mouth only saying, âIâŚâ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Lingâs expression looked like, you big liar who wanted to fool me, forcefully pushed him away, and said with a short breath, âYou said that because you are afraid that I will find trouble with Ning Yu, right? Stop dreaming, no matter what you say, I wonât let him go! Just wait and see!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon: âIâm notâŚâ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling: âYou are!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon: âIâŚâ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling: âDonât try to lie to me!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon: âYouâŚâ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling: âI will prove it to you, Iâm no worse than Ning Yu. That lowly commoner will wait to die!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Saying that, he turned around and ran angrily. After running several steps, he turned back and warned, âDonât come over, if you come over again, Iâll shout and Auntie Shaman will definitely help me to seek justice!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon: â...â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He tried his best, but the boy wouldnât listen to half a word. He couldnât stop him at all, so he could only watch him leave again. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandonâs face tightened, his eyes were mixed with pain and regret. He tried to suppress some kind of sourness, a suspected jealousy in his heart. His right hand clenched tightly⌠In fact, it was expected that Ji Ling wouldnât listen to him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Because Ji Ling only has Jing Sui in his heart, only Jing Sui can make him happy, make him laugh, also can make him miserable, make him sadâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Suiâs disdain was the root cause of Ji Lingâs pain and obsession, even if he said a thousand words and ten thousand sentences, he couldnât match Jing Suiâs one word and one look.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But Jing Sui knew all of this, yet he still didnât care about hurting him, watching him walk step by step down that road from which there was no turning back.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandonâs eyes were full of anger, and his chest was rising and falling violently. Even though Jing Sui and Ning Yu in the previous life were together, he had never been so angry. At that time, he just calmly gave his blessing to Ning Yu and accepted this fact⌠But this time, as long as he remembered the harm Jing Sui had done to the teenager, and remembered how the teenager had ended up in his previous life, he couldnât control his emotions.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandonâs face was as cold as frost as he returned to Jing Suiâs palace. He saw Jing Sui indifferently feeding the cloud hunting beast there, as if everything that happened just now did not cause the slightest ripple in his heart.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui slowly turned his head when he heard the sound, looked at Brandon lightly, and said, âYouâre back.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandonâs eyes were cold as he took a large step over to the man in front of him. Under his dark red hair, his gray pupils were thick as ink, staring fixedly at the man in front of him who didnât seem to change his moods no matter what time of the day or night it was.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Sometimes Brandon even wondered what else could move him other than the Imperial power of his Empire?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He remembered his previous life again.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In the previous life, he rushed over and just saw the scene where the teenager sacrificed his body to block Carlos and died in Jing Suiâs arms⌠Even though there were many prejudices against the teenager in his previous life, he was finally moved at that moment. He never knew that a personâs love could be so pure, as fiery as a moth fly to the flame, even if he gave up everything, he would never regret it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But what about Jing Sui?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He just accepted the fact very calmly, not even changing his expression much. He first solved Carlos before turning around and picking up the teenagerâs body, personally returning the teenager to Grand Duke Ji Tingâs mansion, telling the grieving Grand Duke Ji Ting that he would make it up to him⌠From beginning to end, everything was handled in a clear, calm and rational manner.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Then, he broke off the engagement with Ning Yu.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was also at that time that Brandon realized that he didnât really love Ning Yu that much, right? The marriage contract with Ning Yu was more of a political demand for him, and this marriage was hardly necessary after Carlosâs death, so they ended the relationship naturally.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As for the death of the teenager, it was like an insignificant speck of dust that was gently erased, and like a tacit taboo, no one mentioned it again.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">For many years afterward, Brandon occasionally remembered the dazzling teenager who flickered away like a shooting star.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He would always wonder if Jing Sui was the same as him, and he regretted it in the dead of night, but it was a pity that until the last moment of his life in the previous life, he couldnât not see Jing Suiâs true heart.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">To some extent, he had always been a qualified Emperor, calm and rational, and also fickle.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He didnât really put anyone in his heart.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon chose to support him at the beginning, but also saw Jing Suiâs heart, believing him to be a ruler worth following and a friend who could be trusted, but this moment⌠for the first that he hated his coldness so much when he looked at the manâs calm expression.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Feeling unworthy for the teenager.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">You can dislike him or even alienate him, but there is no need to hurt him. In fact, as long as you are willing to be a little more tolerant and merciful to him, he will not fall to that point, but you donât.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">You seem to have done nothing, but you are always careless, casually pushing him deeper into the abyss.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon took a deep breath, suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Jing Suiâs collar, stared into his eyes, and slowly said, âI told you last time, you shouldnât have done this to him.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Suiâs gaze swept over the back of Brandonâs hand. The look in his golden eyes slowly sank, the cold and murderous aura made the surrounding air almost solidify. His cold and handsome face showed the majesty of the Emperor once he had no expression.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He needed Brandonâs support and recognized Brandon as a person, but that didnât mean that he could tolerate such an inexplicable offense.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui looked at him, his thin lips opened slightly, and he spit out cold words, âI think we should talk.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling shook off Brandon, wiped his eyes, patted his dusty clothes again, and returned to his mother as if nothing had happened.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">When Madam Marina saw him return, she was still keenly aware of her sonâs somewhat low mood, and said with concern, âWhatâs wrong baby?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling lowered his eyes and said, âItâs nothing mom.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Madam Marina and Madam Shaman glanced at each other, revealing a slightly worried look. Ji Ling was their sweetheart, and they both knew Ji Lingâs hazy feeling for Jing Sui, but⌠Jing Sui didnât necessarily like Ji Ling much. Did something unpleasant happen?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Madam Shaman was a little embarrassed, no matter how much she liked Ji Ling, this little cutie, it was useless. His son was a person with his own opinions, and this kind of thing couldnât be forced. He wouldnât listen to her words, so she had to pretend that she didnât find Ji Lingâs abnormality, and said with a smile, âXiao Ling, if you have time, enter the palace more to accompany auntie, if you donât come, auntie is going to be angry oh.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although Ji Ling pretended to be fine, when he thought that Brandon might disrupt the situation, his mood still jumped up and down as he said slowly, âEn.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Madam Shaman sighed softly.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Seeing her son like this, Madam Marina didnât stay long, so she said goodbye to Madam Shaman and took Ji Ling home.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As soon as Ji Ling returned home, he got rid of Madam Marina and locked himself in the room.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He thought about it. Although Brandon was likely to be unbearable to himself because of the guilt of the previous life, he ran to Jing Sui to say something, he must believe Jing Sui, he must believe in the male protagonistâs ruthlessness. It was absolutely impossible for him to like himself, the evil cannon fodder, just because of Brandonâs nonsense. AS long as he was serious about seeking death upon himself, the plot must still have a chance to be saved!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">At least today he was successfully slapped in the face by Jing Sui, and he had an excuse to challenge Ning Yu.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In the previous life, he successfully completed this plot. After seeing the scandal between Jing Sui and Ning Yu, he was unwilling and went to question, but Jing Sui thought that he was inferior to Ning Yu, so in order to prove that, he dueled with Ning Yu. However, he also knew that he was not Ning Yuâs opponent, so as he was despicable and shameless, he let a person to tamper Ning Yuâs mecha, using improper means to attack Ning Yuâs in the duel, creating an opportunity for Jing Sui to be a hero who save the beauty, and he was getting a slap in the face again!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">If all this were not broadcast live on the whole network, Ji Ling would have to say that the original owner was a vicious cannon fodder with a little brain, dealing with the enemy unscrupulously, but the fact was that he was a brainless cannon fodderâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Even if youâre going to use dirty tricks, donât be seen in public <i>ah</i>!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In this kind of live broadcast on the whole network that had attracted much attention and was seen by the people of the entire Empire, using this kind of despicable means to attack Ning Yu, besides pulling the black and inviting hatred to himself, what else is the use ahhh!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">If it wasnât for the plot of the original book, Ji Ling would have suspected that the original owner was deliberately helping Ning Yu to accomplish his aimâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">How admirable is this spirit of self-denial.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">What a complete and utter embodiment of the stupidity and viciousness of an Imperial Nobleâs dandy.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Having said that, since he had inherited this identity, he had to walk through the plot dedicatedly, using his own despicable and vicious stupidity to set off Ning Yuâs perfect and noble nature, and by the way, give Jing Sui the opportunity to be a hero who saved the beauty, and let him continue to make a name for himself in the Empire.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thinking of this, Ji Ling was suddenly full of ambition again, and couldnât wait to open his personal homepage. He mentioned Ning Yu then made an arrogant wild statement, wanting to duel with Ning Yu!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After this message was sent, it was immediately forwarded by countless people and major media, and quickly became a hot spot on the whole network.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The well-known young master Ji Ling, the only son of Grand Duke Ji Ting, wanted to challenge a national idol like Ning Yu, the hero of the battle <i>ah</i>!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ning Yuâs fans immediately and mercilessly mocked Ji Ling from beginning to end. Even the nobles who wanted to stand on Ji Lingâs side did not know how to open their mouths to defend Ji Ling, after all, this behavior was really too much, without self-awareâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But Ji Ling didnât care about the ridicule on the Internet, he just stared at Ning Yuâs account, waited nervously for hours, and finally, Ning Yu replied with one word: Okay.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He accepted his challenge!</span></div></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">----------</span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><div><span style="font-size: large;">If you like my translation, please support me by buying me a coffee:</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><span><a href="https://ko-fi.com/oyen0710">https://ko-fi.com/oyen0710</a> </span><span>or </span><a href="https://trakteer.id/oyens">https://trakteer.id/oyens</a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800180;"><b><span><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.oyensblog.com/2023/09/VALIR-ch-18.html">Previous Chapter</a> |</span></span></b><b><span><span style="font-size: large;"><span> </span><span><a href="https://www.oyensblog.com/p/villains-all-fell-in-love-with-me-after.html">Table of Content</a> </span></span></span></b><span><b><span><span style="font-size: large;">| </span></span></b><b><span><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.oyensblog.com/2023/09/VALIR-ch-20.html">Next Chapter</a></span></span></b></span></span></div></div>Oyenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02923874792286361037noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-257116854364522428.post-46559576880620626742023-09-15T11:38:00.003+07:002023-09-25T00:27:36.899+07:00Using Marriage as Bait : Chapter 42<div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWOT-ddNcJbLVsAmFaLRaBG6ms7OBb2B73Yf5mhVzNJjOlnSBTMm7DHkAXdvUnur_1Q55uiK1uswlIVXz055pC3PPyJLCl9vem38-IdmoCSbR_hVBaljgi_xn_uWa_lNHUldfGyP7QTlDv4nZQe6U5PGFg6aysGv4rTU4y1ncxgfH0DjuTm_aoy9AK50A/s1200/using%20marriage%20as%20bait1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="1200" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWOT-ddNcJbLVsAmFaLRaBG6ms7OBb2B73Yf5mhVzNJjOlnSBTMm7DHkAXdvUnur_1Q55uiK1uswlIVXz055pC3PPyJLCl9vem38-IdmoCSbR_hVBaljgi_xn_uWa_lNHUldfGyP7QTlDv4nZQe6U5PGFg6aysGv4rTU4y1ncxgfH0DjuTm_aoy9AK50A/w640-h214/using%20marriage%20as%20bait1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>Here you go, enjoy reading~<span><a name='more'></a></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Chapter 42: She Actually Smiled at Him?</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Was it because he helped her out, so she politely called him âBrother Juntingâ?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">At the look he gave her, she added, âLittle Baby is asleep, I will go first.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Sure enough, as he expected, she didnât want to spend the night here, she just wanted to spend the night with her son for a while, to fulfill her sonâs wishes. Lu Junting put the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and when she turned around, he finally spoke.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âWait a minute.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyuâs back stiffened, pausing for a while before turning her head to look at him.

Lu Junting wanted to send her off? She thought about this manâs cold attitude the whole night, so it surprised her when he said he was going to send her off.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Seeing that she didnât move, Lu Junting asked again, âArenât you going back?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu came back to her senses, she entered the elevator. Both of them were still silent, and Lin Xiyu was very puzzled. Even if Lu Junting wanted to send her out of politeness, he could just let the driver do this kind of thing. However, his posture was obvious that he also wanted to follow? There was no need to be so considerate, right?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Coming to the underground garage, Lu Junting got into the car, and he directly got into the driverâs seat, which made Lin Xiyu even more shocked. Lu Junting traveled with a driver, and he was rarely seen driving himself. He wasnât going to follow, but he was going to drive her back himself?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">When Lu Junting saw that she hadnât moved for a long time, he urged her expressionlessly, âGet in the car.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu came back to her senses, opened the passenger seatâs door and sat in. The car drove out of Moon Bay No. 1 and Lin Xiyu still didnât understand, why did he personally send her back?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The car drove onto the main road, Lin Xiyu realized that she hadnât told him the address, and he didnât even ask. Did he think she still lived in the previous place?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âI changed places, Iâm living in Marina Park now.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âEn.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He replied softly, and didnât use the navigation, as if he knew the way well.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The car was quiet, neither of them spoke, and only the occasional soft noise from the dashboard. Lin Xiyu knew this was a good opportunity, didnât she want to see him? Didnât she want to thank him properly?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">However, it might be because she was afraid of his aura, or perhaps because she was so desperate and felt guilty at the beginning, there were many things she didnât know how to say.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Shouldnât it start with a sentence, âBrother Junting, are you doing well?â But then she thought to herself, he wouldnât tell her directly even if he was not doing well, so it seemed pointless to ask him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hesitating all the way, the car had already driven outside the community where she lived. He didnât speak, holding the steering wheel and looking ahead, without even a reminder of âitâs arrivedâ.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu unbuckled her seatbelt and said to him, âThank you.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He didnât answer, Lin Xiyu turned around and walked to the community. Lin Xiyu got on the elevator a little confused, she leaned on the elevator, thinking about the question she didnât understand all the way.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Why did he send her back in person? You donât have to drive her back yourself, even if youâre just being polite right? She couldnât help but wonder if he still had expectations of her? But if he still had expectations, why was his attitude so cold?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The elevator reached the floor where she was, but Lin Xiyu didnât go up, she pressed the 1st floor again. She hurried out from the door of the community and the familiar car was no longer outside.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">During her lunch break on Wednesday, Lin Xiyu received a call from Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan said to her on the phone. âChangheng plans to change the billboard on the roof, are you interested in participating in the design <i>ah</i>?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âMe? Iâm not in the design business, can I?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âYour handwriting is very good <i>ah</i>, as long as you know a little Photoshop, I know the manager of the publicity department and recommended you to him. He thinks itâs very good and you can try it. If you are interested, take a time to come over, I will introduce you to him.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Cooperated with Changheng to design billboards, so that she had the opportunity to communicate with Changheng, and she also had the opportunity to meet Lu Junting.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu said, âIâll try it.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The general manager of Changhengâs publicity department was called He Shuo, and he had previously cooperated with the people in the legal department over some matters, and Lu Yuan knew him as a result. Lu Yuan was cheerful, not arrogant, and she could have fun with everyone. Although both surnamed Lu, no one could see that she was Lu Juntingâs cousin, and He Shuo naturally did not know.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although He Shuo was the manager of the publicity department, his main job was not in the publicity department. He was directly ordered by Lu Junting, and his main job was to go to various places to give speeches and publicity, investigate and win over companies that wanted to cooperate with Changheng.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The main job of the publicity department was the responsibility of the deputy manager Wu Lin. Originally, Changhengâs publicity department had a long-term cooperative advertising company and that advertising companyâs boss was Wu Linâs acquaintance. As long as Changheng and that company had cooperation, Wu Lin could take a little kickback. This time Changhengâs roof top billboard, We Lin had intended to directly contact that company, but unexpectedly the general manager He Shuo came to say that he had invited a calligrapher to design it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This made Wu Lin very unhappy, he directly told He Shuo that he had said to the advertising company. He could not release the dove*It wasnât good for He Shuo to offend both sides, so he simply proposed to let Lin Xiyu and the advertising company compare with each other and they would see who designed better. When the time came to vote, who had the most votes would be chosen.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">*one doesn't keep his promise.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This Wu Lin was not afraid. We Lin was a delicate person and he was very familiar with people in various departments of the company, and his uncle was on the board of directors of Changheng. Everyone also gave him a face and then it was just a matter of saying hello to them.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The agreed time with Lu Yuan was on Friday. Lin Xiyu came directly to Changheng when the time came, and Lu Yuan was waiting for her at the door.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âMr. He went outside for a meeting and hasnât come back yet, so weâll have to wait a bit. You can go to my office.â When Lu Yuan said this, she suddenly thought of something and said, âMaybe my eldest brother brought Chengmao with him. My eldest brother is in a meeting now, you can go to his office to take a look.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu once heard Lu Yuan say that Lu Junting occasionally brought his child to work, and she also saw it in his office on the day of the divorce. He transformed half of the office into a small playground.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu came here to meet Lu Junting, of course it was better to see her son, and of course she had to seize this opportunity. Anyway, last time she went back with them, he didnât say anything, not to mention that she went to find the child, Lu Junting was more conscious than her, and he was clearer than her, as the childâs parents, there was no need to make a fuss about it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">So Lin Xiyu nodded and said, âOkay, then Iâll to brother Juntingâs office and wait.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Yuan looked at her in surprise when she heard this, and she sneered, âThis is quite good. Originally, both of you used to be husband and wife, thereâs really no need to be like a stranger.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although the people in the company did not know Lu Yuanâs identity, as Lu Juntingâs assistant and secretary, they naturally recognized Lu Yuan. So, Lu Yuan took Lin Xiyu in, and the two secretaries at the door of the presidentâs office did not say anything.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Yuan pushed open the door of the office and Lin Xiyu followed her in. Sure enough, she saw the nanny playing on that inflatable skateboard with her Little Baby.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Yuan smiled and said, âXiao Chengmao, look who Auntie has brought over for you.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Xiao Chengmao heard the voice and glanced their way, his eyes immediately lit up and he also stopped playing with the inflatable skateboard. His fleshy little body clumsily climbed down from the skateboard, and ran to this side with his little short legs.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu hurriedly caught him as she picked him up and helped him wipe the sweat from his forehead. âLook at how sweaty you are from playing.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Xiao Chengmao rubbed her motherâs face with his fleshy little hand, and pointed over at her again and said, âMommy, play together.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âOkay, mommy will accompany you.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Seeing this, Lu Yuan said, âI still have to go over first, wait over here, Iâll call you when itâs time to go.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âOkay.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu hugged the child over and said to the nanny, âYou go rest for a while, Iâll take him.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After the nanny went out, only the mother and son left in this office. Lu Juntingâs office was very large, and a small part of it was fenced, with an inflatable amusement facility that Little Baby could play on.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Little Baby climbed onto the slide to show her how to slide and Lin Xiyu laughed. âSlow down, donât fall over.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu looked at the door while looking at Little Baby. Lu Junting had been in a meeting for a long time.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting came back from the meeting and the secretary told im that there was a guest waiting for him inside, saying that Miss Lu brought that person. Lu Junting was wondering who Lu Yuan brought to find him, and as soon as he opened the door and entered, he saw that the mother and son were having fun.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Juting was quite surprised, he didnât expect that the person who came to him would be Lin Xiyu.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu heard the voice and looked back, she was already mentally prepared, so when she saw Lu Junting come in, she smiled at him and greeted, âBrother Junting.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">To her smile, Lu Junting couldnât help but be stunned, she⌠actually smiled at him? Before the divorce, her indifference and determination were still vividly remembered, and for a moment Lu Junting thought that he was hallucinating. He squinted slightly and stared straight at her, she was indeed smiling at him. The smile was quite gentle, and being stared at by him like this, she seemed to be a little embarrassed and hastily avoided his gaze.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting went around behind the desk and sat down. This year, she had been avoiding him, even if she wanted to see the child, she was being sneaky. He knew very well that she did not want to see him, and she had not shown a good face to him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But now, she ran to his office and smiled at him? What was she thinking?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting glanced at the little cub, who was showing his mother the new toy car he had received, and the girl looked at him with a gentle face, with a smile on her face.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">What else could it be, of course, because of her son. In order to meet her son smoothly, she wanted to change her attitude towards him, even if they couldnât be a husband and wife, there was no need to be an enemy.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Just like at the beginning, in order to stay with the child, she was willing to sacrifice herself to be in the same room with him even though she obviously did not like him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting asked her, âWhy are you here?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu said, âLu Yuan told me that Changheng wants to change the billboard on the roof. She knows that I have good handwriting, so let me try to design it. She also helped me to greet the people of Changhengâs publicity department. I came here today to meet the person in charge of the publicity department.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It turned out that she didnât come to see the child on purpose, but just stopped by to take a look.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting stopped talking, and he began to read the email. Lin Xiyu played with the child here for a while before receiving a call from Lu Yuan, who told her that Mr. He had returned from outside.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu soothed her son, and the little one probably knew that his mother was busy, so he didnât make a fuss to keep her. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âIâll go over to meet the manager of the publicity department first, and Iâll come back later.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hearing her words, Lu Juntingâs movement of replying to the email paused, coming back later? Lu Junting guessed that she probably wanted to take the child out to play alone, so she had such a good attitude towards him just now, so she could discuss it with him later.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting didnât even look at her, and only replied lightly, âEn.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She just had a simple meeting with He Shuo, it was just to get acquainted. He Shuo looked quite young, about thirty years old, wearing glasses, looking gentle and handsome. He also spoke in a soft voice.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âHello Miss Lin, Iâve heard a lot about you.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu hurriedly said, âYou flatter me.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He Shuo first introduced her to the situation of the publicity department, and then gave her the various types of design drafts of the Changheng billboard for reference.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He Shuo said, âOriginally, our department has been cooperating with other advertising companies for a long time, because I was on a business trip recently, and the deputy manager of the publicity department was in charge of it. He didnât know that my side had a design candidate here so he already contacted the advertising company. After all, the people have already been contacted, and I donât want to directly let people not do it, so I just donât know if Miss Lin doesnât mind competing with the other side. When the time comes to vote for it, whoever receives more votes will be used.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu originally didnât think that Changheng would really use the words she designed. She cooperated with Changheng just to be able to meet Lu Junting, and she didnât care so much about success or failure.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hearing He Shuoâs words, she generously said, âOf course I donât mind, I already feel honored to have the opportunity to communicate with your company.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He Shuo also breathed a sigh of relief. âThatâs good, thatâs good.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After getting to know Lin Xiyu with He Shuo, he returned to Lu Juntingâs office on the top floor, and she didnât know if the secretary saw her just entered, and didnât ask, so she just let her in.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">When Lin Xiyu entered, Lu Junting was still busy, and Lin Xiyu asked, âWhen does brother Junting get off work?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Jutning didnât raise his head and said, âIf you want to take Chengmao to play, you can take him away, I still have work.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âThatâs okay, Iâll play with Chengmao over here for a while and then Iâll leave.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hearing this, Lu Junting stopped moving and looked at her. He had agreed for her to take the child out to play, why was she still willing to stay here?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">However, Lu Junting didnât ask much, of course, he certainly had no objection to her staying here.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu was ready to leave after she finished with Little Baby for a while. She had to go back to work on the design, not to mention that she couldnât stay in Lu Juntingâs office all the time. After all, she and Lu Junting were divorced.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu held Little Baby on her lap and sat down, and said to him, âLittle Baby, mommy has to go back.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As soon as he heard that his mother was leaving, he hurriedly stretched out a pair of fleshy arms and hugged his motherâs neck, and said in an anxious tone, âMommy, together.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âMommy will come back next time to keep you company, okay? Mom has to go back to work and make little money so she can buy good food and toys for her Little Baby.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âI donât want, I donât want, I donât want good food, I don't want toys, I want mommy.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu couldnât persuade him, so she had to ask Lu Junting for help, âBrother Junting, I have to go back, you can persuade Little Baby.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting knew that she was going to leave sooner or later, and it was useless for the little cub to pester her again, so Lu Junting said, âLu Chengmao, come here.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As soon as he heard his father call him by name, the little one became especially self-conscious. Although he couldnât bear to be apart from his mother, he obediently climbed down from her arms and walked slowly to his father. Lu Junting called the nanny to ask her to take Chengao out to play, and soon only Lu Junting and Lin Xiyu were left here.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âHow did the publicity department arrange you there?â Lu Junting asked.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âFinalize the first draft and bring it in next week.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting nodded his head a little and didnât say anything else.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âThat.. Iâll go first.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu turned away in his silence, she left for a long time before Lu Junting leaned heavily on the back of the chair. Madam Lu always urged him to chase the daughter-in-law back. If he could chase her back, how could he not try. It was just that he tried all kinds of methods, pleading in a low voice, and even threatening her with the child. She looked weak and soft, but he couldnât hold her if she already made up her mind.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">For her to say she was going to drive him meant she was going to leave him for good.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He didnât know what to do now. He had also used his scheming, all his means had also been used, he had also used his low voice but she just refused to come back. Now, he was cautious when he was facing her, afraid that he would do something wrong again. Sometimes he even had a very cheap idea, or he went straight to her to tell her what he was going to do.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But now it was okay, she didnât deliberately avoid him like before, and showed a cold face whenever she saw him. At least now, she could greet him politely when they saw each other.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In this lifetime, it could probably only go this far.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">On Thursday, Lin Xiyu went to Changheng, which was the agreed day to hand over the first draft, and it was said that the advertising company that cooperated with Changheng would also send someone over.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He Shuo, the manager of the publicity department, personally waited for her downstairs. When he met her, he politely said, âI trouble Miss Lin to make a trip here.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âNo, no, itâs rather troublesome for Mr. He even came to pick me up.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âMiss Lin doesn't need to be polite, please.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The publicity department had its own conference room. At this time, the deputy manager Wu Lin and the designer in charge of outsourcing from the advertising company was there.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">However, when Wu Lin saw Lin Xiyu who came in with He Shuo, he was stunned for a moment. He didnât expect this calligrapher to be so good-looking. So when the two parties handed over their first drafts and waited for him to comment on them. Wu Lin couldnât say anything to belittle each other at the beginning.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âBoth of your drafts are good, Mr. He and I will discuss it again. Why donât you two go back first, and weâll give you a notice when weâve discussed the results.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu didnât know about the twists and turns, and really thought that he needed to go back and wait for notice.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyuâs car had some problems and was sent for maintenance, so she didnât drive today. Changheng door was not very good to take a taxi, and the wind was a little strong, without sun. Lin Xiyu went out wearing a shirt, which was blown by the wind, and she felt shiver all over her body.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âMiss Lin.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu was about to call Didi* when she heard the sound and looked back. She saw Lu Juntingâs assistant Zhou Jin hurrying over. Zhou Jin was holding a jacket in his hand, and he handed her the jacket and said, âPresident Lu asked me to bring it to Miss Lin.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">*Chinese app for public transport</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âPresident Lu? Lu Junting?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Zhou Jin nodded his head and said, âItâs cold outside, Miss Lin should put it on first.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu took the coat with a confused look, even if Lu Junting knew that she would come over today, how did she know that she was cold and needed clothes? Lin Xiyu took the jacket with a confused look on her face, even if Lu Junting knew she would come over today, how did he know that she was cold and needed clothes at this moment?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Zhou Jin was about to go back to regain his life after sending his clothes, Lin Xiyu hurriedly stopped him, âAssistant Zhou.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âWhat else does Miss Lin have?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âI remember that I have something to find your President Lu, can you take me up?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Zhou Jin, as Lu Juntingâs assistant, knew the relationship between Lin Xiyu and Lu Junting and said when he heard this, âOf course Miss Lin, please.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">When Lin Xiyu came to Lu Juntingâs office, he had just returned. He went to the monitoring room before because he knew that she would come over today. He just wanted to look at her, and saw her shivering in the cold at the door. He let Zhou Jin send a piece of clothing over. He didnât know if she would accept it or not, but since they wanted to live together harmoniously for the sake of the child, he couldnât just ignore it when he saw her shivering from the cold.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">However, Lu Junting did not expect Lin Xiyu to come directly to his office, and he swept a glance at her hand, which was holding his clothes.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Does she come to return his clothes? Donât want to accept his kindness?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âWhy did you ask Zhou Jin to send me clothes?â Lin Xiyu asked.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting thought that she was here to return the clothes, and at this moment, his heart was a little panicked, and his tone of voice was light, âArenât you cold?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In fact, what Lin Xiyu wanted to know was, why did he know that she was cold? Of course, it didnât matter how he knew, the important thing was that she knew that he cared about her, and he let people send clothes when he saw her cold.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In fact, Lin Xiyu thought a lot during this time. She did hate Lu Junting a year ago, but later learned that he helped herself so much, coupled with the effect of time, those hatreds were gradually washed away.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">There were so many misunderstandings between him and her that she still wanted to explain them or fix the relationship if she had the chance. Of course, it was also when Lu Junting was also willing.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">During this time, although his attitude towards her was not bad, it was not good, and Lin Xiyu didnât know whether his feelings towards her had died or not. She didnât know to open her mouth to start the conversation with him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But now, she knew he still cared about her. If his feelings had already died, he couldnât have seen her cold and let someone send clothes over. He sent them in such a timely manner, showing that he had been paying attention to her.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Since he still had the heart, she was also willing to take one more step towards him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">So if she mentioned remarriage at this time, he shouldnât be so surprised, right?</span></div></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">----------</span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><div><span style="font-size: large;">If you like my translation, please support me by buying me a coffee:</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><span><a href="https://ko-fi.com/oyen0710">https://ko-fi.com/oyen0710</a> </span><span>or </span><a href="https://trakteer.id/oyens">https://trakteer.id/oyens</a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b style="color: #e69138;"><span><span><a href="https://www.oyensblog.com/2023/09/using-marriage-as-bait-chapter-41.html">Previous Chapter</a> |</span></span></b><b><span><span><span style="color: #cc0000;"> </span><span style="color: #e69138;"><a href="https://www.oyensblog.com/p/using-marriage-as-bait.html">Table of Content</a> </span></span></span></b><span style="color: #e69138;"><b><span><span>| </span></span></b><b><span><span><a href="https://www.oyensblog.com/2023/09/using-marriage-as-bait-chapter-43.html">Next Chapter</a></span></span></b></span></span></div></div>Oyenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02923874792286361037noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-257116854364522428.post-20223097772555403972023-09-14T12:43:00.006+07:002023-09-15T11:38:37.534+07:00Using Marriage as Bait : Chapter 41<div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitI55U_h3BRJl485wHFNr0VfJ9mtx46dkAlHCeSlj4kEqDGZvavFEdfqHz7tvgk8N5EBwJ25wUGp2MmUkaKWgx4W9rsEJvSjybgHQXHD15qGgrCh2iP-qPOqhYNMiQHHazQJ0CMdE_Vd_UjNf5och2mz70BVPMXdM0QqwnhKDRDIiHGs98WL5277uNkv0/s1200/using%20marriage%20as%20bait1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="1200" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitI55U_h3BRJl485wHFNr0VfJ9mtx46dkAlHCeSlj4kEqDGZvavFEdfqHz7tvgk8N5EBwJ25wUGp2MmUkaKWgx4W9rsEJvSjybgHQXHD15qGgrCh2iP-qPOqhYNMiQHHazQJ0CMdE_Vd_UjNf5och2mz70BVPMXdM0QqwnhKDRDIiHGs98WL5277uNkv0/w640-h214/using%20marriage%20as%20bait1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>Sorry for a long absence, here's the chapter~<span><a name='more'></a></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Chapter 41: She was even Willing to Eat with Him</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He swiped the card, pressed the -1st floor. Both of them stood aside, some distance apart, and Lin Xiyu was a little complicated at this time, when they divorced, he was so stiff. This time she knew that he was at Changheng, she ran to Changheng, not only did she bump into him, he also helped her solve the problem.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She couldnât understand why he had helped her, when sheâd been so hateful with him before the divorce. He hadnât contacted her in over a year, and she thought he might have been disappointed in her as a person.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But today she was misunderstood, he still came forward to help her out. No matter what, she really should thank him for this.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âThank you,â said her.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âYouâre welcome.â He replied.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">They were very polite to each other, and silence returned to the elevator. This thank you and youâre welcome didnât cause much of a ripple, and seemed so ethereal.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">So silent, Lin Xiyu could not help but glance at him, he was dressed delicately and decently, every detail gave people a meticulous and orderly feeling. His bodyâs temperament was still so strong, and because of his omnipresent aura, when both of them stood together in the elevator, her breath was not smooth.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">At this moment, in Lu Juntingâs body, there was no trace of the original depressed appearance, he was still the same him, the proud son of Heaven. He would only stand in the high place to look down on all living beings, and no one could make him fall.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">They stayed silent just like that. The elevator suddenly opened, they had arrived at -1st floor, and Lu Junting walked straight out with his long legs.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyuâs gaze subconsciously followed him, the familiar black luxury car drove over. His assistant helped him pull over the door, he sat in it, and the luxury car turned around and drove away. He didnât look at her again.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was like they were the kind of people who knew each other but did not know each other well. He just helped her out casually, just raising his hand.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu found her own car, which she bought with her own money. She got into the car, drove the car out of Changhengâs underground parking lot, and recalled the scene where they just met. This was probably their norm from now on, right? Meeting as if they were strangers, maybe they could have not even said hello if it had not been for this incident.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He had come so humbly to save her, but she still rejected him. How much love it took for a heavenly man like him to stoop so low as to retain it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But there were so many misunderstandings with him at that time. She hated him so much, she didnât even look at him more than once, how hurt he should have been, so now when he saw her, he didnât even want to say more than a word to her.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Some fragmentary memories of time spent together came up piece by piece.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âBecause the childâs mother is also cute.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âIf you like it, then itâs worth it.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âYou donât have to do anything, just know to run home when it rains.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Tears blurred her vision, what was the point of thinking about this. Whatâs done is done, theyâve become this. Even if I feel guilty about him, even if I am grateful to him, I canât change anything.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">When Lin Xiyu came back to her senses, she found that she did not drive to the place where she lived. She had unknowingly driven the car to Moon Bay no. 1.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She did not know she got here, it was really inexplicable, but she was happy to âmake the best of a mistakeâ. She parked her car nearby, got out of the car and walked to the gate of Moon Bay no. 1. The management of this mansion area was very strict, she could not enter without an access control card. She stood at the gate of the community and looked inside. There were large and small villas scattered inside. At a glance, she didnât know which place she used to live.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting took the child out to eat every week. He was usually very strict with his child's diet, but he could satisfy him once a week and accompany him to eat what he liked to eat.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The exit and entrance of Moon Bay No. 1 were not the same, and when he came out of the community, Lu Junting asked his young son, âWhat do you want to eat today?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Chengmao was almost two years old. He could say some simple words, his face had grown a bit more tan when he was a little baby, but it was still fleshy. His eyelashes had grown a lot, and his round eyes look bigger and clearer, exactly the same as his motherâs eyes.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The little guyâs big eyes grunted and he thought for a while then said, âI want to <i>seven</i>(eat)* fruit pies.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">*QÄŤ and ChÄŤ, the pronounce is the similar</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting knew that the fruit pie he said was apple pie, and he said, âOkay, letâs go eat the fruit pie.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The little guyâs little fat hand stretched out on the top of his head. His little short legs wiggled, and he said happily, âFruit pie, fruit pie, <i>seven</i>(eat) fruit pie, fruit pie.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Seeing his son so happy, Lu Junting was also happy. He pinched his sonâs little meat face with his fingers, and said, âYouâre so happy to eat fruit pie?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He remembered that the girl also liked to eat this filled fruit pie, and it really was⌠her child, even having the same preferences as her, it was almost as if he would think of her at all times.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âMommy, mommy.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Xiao Chengmaoâs voice suddenly pulled back Lu Juntingâs thoughts, he glanced sideways at his son, and saw him lying on the window of the car shouting outside. Lu Junting looked out the window, and soon saw a familiar figure standing at the gate of the Moon Bay community. She was hovering at the gate and glancing inside from time to time.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Why did she come here? Thinking about just now in the elevator, he didnât speak and she also didnât speak. Both of them portrayed the post-divorce couple who were at peace with each other to the fullest.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Why did she come here in the blink of an eye?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting looked down at the little cub next to him again. Why did she come here, what else could she be for, she came here only for her child.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Xiao Chengmao was very excited to see his mother that he turned his head and said to Lu Junting, âDad, momâs side.â A look of excitement pointed in her motherâs direction.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Juntingâs face was a little heavy and he ordered the driver, âDrive over.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The driver made a U-turn in front and drove the car to a stop at the gate of Moon Bay. Lin Xiyu was sighing in her memories, she lowered her head and sighed softly. She didnât plan to do anything, only thinking of coming here, so she came down to have a look.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After watching and ready to leave, a car suddenly drove to a stop in front of her. She subconsciously glanced at it, felt this car was a little familiar, and then fixed her eyes. Wasnât this Lu Juntingâs car?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She was wondering why Lu Juntingâs car stopped in front of her. When she saw the car door open and a little meatball ran out from inside.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu naturally recognized her son at a glance, and the little meatball ran towards her with his little short legs. Lin Xiyu quickly ran over and caught him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âMommy, mommy.â Xiao Chengmao put his arms around his motherâs neck and rubbed his motherâs face with his face.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Little Baby had a watermelon head, with his neat bangs, making his fleshy face small. Lin Xiyu kissed him and asked, âWhy is Little Baby here?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Xiao Chengmao twisted his little body and pointed to the back seat of the car and said, â<i>Seven</i>(eat) fruit pie.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Before the rear door was closed, Lin Xiyu swept her gaze over to see Lu Junting sitting in the back. He also happened to look over at her, but it was only a faint glance, without any warmth in his gaze.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âDid Daddy take Little Baby to eat fruit pie?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The little guy nodded heavily, and every time he nodded, his round eyes always showed a little seriousness, looking brighter, and he was really adorable.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu knew that Lu Junting stopped because Little Baby saw her. He was still waiting and he was not an idler. Lin Xiyu was very self-aware and didnât have a long time to be affectionate with her Little Baby. She carried Little Baby to the car, placed him on the safety seat and said, âLittle Baby needs to eat more <i>oh</i>.â After she said that, she leaned over and kissed him on the top of his head, rubbing his little cheeks.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After Lin Xiyu did this, she was about to step back to help close the car door, but Little Baby suddenly pulled her clothes, he looked at her with bleary eyes and said, âMommy, together.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu: â...â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu subconsciously glanced at Lu Junting, who was gazing ahead as if what was happening here had nothing to do with him. Lin Xiyu said awkwardly, âMommyâs not going. Little Baby can help mommy eat her share too, okay?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She pulled Little Babyâs hand away and was about to close the car door, but he hugged her thigh and said, âMommy, donât <i>fight</i>(go), mommy, donât <i>fight</i>(go), okay?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu looked down at him, and saw the little guy looking at her with bleary eyes. âMommy, together, <i>seven</i>(eat) fruit pie.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A pair of watery eyes full of anticipation, with tears glistening and flashing in them, as if he could cry out the moment she rejected him. Lin Xiyu couldnât bear to see it, but she wasnât that brazen. She looked at Lu Junting, who was still gazing ahead, not caring about their side.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu took a deep breath and was about to refuse again. Little Bay was afraid that his mother would run away, holding her motherâs thigh without letting go, but his head turned to his father and said, âDaddy, Mommy, together.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He was asking for his fatherâs opinion.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The man finally glanced at Lin Xiyuâs side, still with that casual gaze, then looked back to his son and said, âUp to you.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">That was what it meant to be entirely up to his son.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Xiao Chengmao looked at her mother again, looking expectant.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In the past, the little guy would hold her every time he met her and wouldnât let her go, but every time Lin Xiyu left ruthlessly, she didnât know if the loss again and again would cause a psychological shadow for the little guy.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She glanced at the man, she used to refuse her little child because of him, but now she doesn't hate him anymore. Since she didnât hate him, there was no need to avoid him anymore. In addition, during this period of time, she dreamed of him every day, because of those dreams, and also because of the guilt in her heart, as well as the gratitude of this man for helping her pay off the debt, she always wanted to meet him, so this time, she came to the Changheng anniversary celebration.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu felt that Lu Juntingâs phrase âUp to youâ meant that he didnât object. Since there was an opportunity to spend more time with the father and son, she naturally did not want to miss this chance.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu nodded and said, âOkay, mommy, together.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hearing this, Lu Junting, who had been sitting on the side, looking unconcerned, finally turned his head and glanced at Lin Xiyu. No matter how good he was at hiding his emotions, there were obvious surprises in the bottom of Lu Juntingâs eyes at this time.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He really didnât expect she would agree.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Because of the installation of the child seat, Lu Junting was sitting on a sedan rather than a nanny car, and only two people could sit in the back, Lin Xiyu pulled open the passenger door and sat in.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The little guy was so happy that his mother agreed to go to eat fruit pie together. His little meaty hands hugged Lin Xiyuâs neck from behind, giggling, and his meaty face full of excitement.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âFruit pie, fruit pie, mommy, together <i>seven</i>(eat) fruit pie.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu held his sonâs hand, turned around and smiled at him. The corner of his eyes swept to Lu Junting, who was looking down at his mobile phone, and she didnât know if he was dealing with official business.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Only the mother and son kept talking the whole time. Lu Junting hadnât interjected a word, just like an outsider.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The place to eat was in a western restaurant. Lu Junting got out of the car and carried his son inside, followed by Lin Xiyu. Lu Juntingâs posture of holding the child was very standard, it could be seen that he should often hold his child.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She had heard Lu Yuan talk about it, and she knew that during the period when she and Lu Junting divorced, he was indeed very competent as a father.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting booked a private room, and a family of three entered the room. Lu Junting naturally put Chengmao on the side of his seat, but Lu Chengmao hadnât seen her mother often, like seeing his father everyday, so every time he saw his mother, he especially liked to stick to her. Lu Junting put him on the seat, he climbed down by himself, and climbed to Lin Xiyuâs side. Lin Xiyu held him and sat down, and Lu Junting didnât say anything.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting ate quietly the whole time. Lin Xiyu was very lively talking and laughing with his son, but Lu Junting never interjected a word, only occasionally glanced at their side.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu also didnât think that she would sit with this father and son again to have a meal, but the manâs attitude had always been very cold. She couldnât help but wonder if she shouldnât come today.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After eating, Lin Xiyu was self-conscious about saying goodbye to them, but the little one still wouldnât let her go.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âMommy, donât <i>fight</i>(go).â The little one tugged at her shirt and wouldnât let go.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âMommy is going back, wait a few days, Mommy will take you to play, okay?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The little one did not adhere to it and said, âWill Mommy go back to Daddyâs house?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting, who was sitting next to him, had never looked over to their side and had an attitude of not caring about it. Hearing this, he thought in his heart, âYouâre a kid who can really be whimsical, how can your mother be willing to go back there?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu felt that she should be self-aware, after all, Lu Juntingâs behavior seemed to be telling her that he wasnât willing to stay with her either.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She should refuse, she should directly pull away Little Babyâs hand and turn away as usual, but she didnât know why, she smiled gently at Little Baby and said, âOkay, mommy will accompany you home.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After Lin Xiyu finished speaking, she went directly to the front passenger seat and sat down. She didnât look at Lu Juntingâs expression, anyway, it was her son who told her to go back.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting was surprised, even more surprised than when she agreed to eat with them. He thought that she could even agree not to see the child in order to divorce him at that time, and it could be seen how disgusted she was to him, but now she is willing to return to the house of the person who disgusts her for the sake of the child.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting didnât know what she was thinking, and he didnât bother to think about it, he didnât want to ask about her anymore, and he didnât want to feel the piercing taste of his heart and bone again.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Chengmao was very happy that her mother agreed to go back together, chattering all the way, but when the car drove home, the child fell asleep.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting hugged him out of the car, and Lin Xiyu followed him in. A year had passed, and the house had not changed much compared to when she left, only the toys piled in the corner had increased.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu suddenly had a trance-like feeling, every part of the house was so familiar, and familiar memories surfaced when her eyes landed on that one spot.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">They had eaten together at the dinner table, she had played on the floor with the child, and there was the couch, where he had held her from behind and sat her on his lap. He asked her why she didnât want to see him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lots and lots.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">When she left, she never thought she would come back here.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting handed the child over to the nanny and Lin Xiyu had nothing to do after the child was handed over to the nanny. She had no reason to continue to stay here, so she hurriedly walked up and took the child from the nanny and said, âIâll take care of him.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Without waiting for anyone to answer, she took the child upstairs after she finished speaking.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting returned to the room, he took a shower, took out a few bottles of medicine, calcium tablets, vitamins, fish oil from the cabinet on the washing table, it was filled with some psychotropic drugs, calming the mind and aiding sleep. He had not slept very well, and the superior looks and the pressure to bear were very high. In addition, some experiences in his childhood made it difficult for him to fall asleep, and many times, he needed to rely on drugs to fall asleep.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A large handful of medicine, which he swallowed expressionlessly. He returned to his room to sit on his bed but remained sleepless. The night was silent, darkness wrapped the whole room, there was no light on the room and he sat quietly on the edge of the bed, listening to the ticking sound on his mechanical watch.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was probably clear that she was just across the wall from him, so after taking so much medicine, he was still too excited that he couldnât sleep.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After a long time, he stood up and walked to the table to turn on the lamp, took out the painting that he treasured in the book. His fingertips gently rubbed the face of the little girl in the painting, he remembered that day, her parents came to take her home. They said goodbye next to the statue behind Luâs house, and she drew a painting for him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âThis is my drawing, this one is me, and this one is you.â She had a look of wanting to be praised. âIs it a good drawing?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was not good at all. It was ugly as hell.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But he didnât say anything to hit her.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âDonât worry, brother Junting. I will write to you after I go back.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âCan you still write letters?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The little girl seemed to realize that she still couldnât write, and she said, âShall I send you a postcard?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âThen, donât you forget it.â He also reminded her.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âOf course not.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">At that time, she answered with conviction, but since she left, he had not once received a postcard delivered by her. Then, he went abroad and seldom came home again, and she never came to Luâs house again.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The next time he heard news related to her was the death of her parents, not long after he took over the Lu Family, and he was busy every day. Because her parents died, she was taken home by Zhang Yao. He hurriedly went home after hearing about it, he didnât know what the little girl looked like after not seeing her for many years.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was so coincidental, after many years and meeting again, the place where they met was exactly where they separated, next to the statue. He did not know if she was lost, she suddenly saw him, her eyes were delighted and she hurriedly stepped forward, but as soon as she got closer, he didnât know how she suddenly got afraid. She stood timidly not far away, tangled for a while before opening her mouth and asking him, âExcuse me, do you live here? Itâs so big here that I seem to be lost.â </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Speaking cautiously too.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She had really grown up a lot, taller and her body wasnât as fleshy as it used to be, but those eyes hadnât changed much, they were round and clear, like a little deer.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He noticed that she looked at him strangely.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">All the expectations and joy faded away at this moment, and he narrowed his eyes slightly toward her. âYou donât know who I am?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She looked at him suspiciously and asked tentatively, âDo we know each other?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He stared at her face, the strangeness on her face was so real, she really didnât know him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Later, Lu Yuan arrived in time, she was taken away by Lu Yuan. He didnât know what to think and subconsciously followed, and then he heard her say to Lu Yuan, âSo that guy is your eldest brother, heâs really scary <i>ah</i>!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">At first, he thought that she was sick, or had suffered some stimulus to forget him. He asked Zhang Yao on the side, but she was not sick, nor did she receive any stimulation. How she forgot him, it was simply just forgetting about him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She was only three years old when she met him, just a three years old child, and the memories of the three-year-old were too easy to forget. The people who appeared in the three-year-old memories were easy to forget.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She lived in an environment of loving parents, and at the age of three, she came into his world, sympathizing with him, caring for him, perhaps just out of the love her parents had taught her. She would have shown her love for anyone else, he was nothing special to her at all, just a small passerby who appeared in a long life.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But the ten-year-old boy Lu Junting met that little girl who would give him medicine and hug him on the rooftop. She was just loving unintentionally, but painted the heaviest drawing in his life.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting laughed at himself.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He put the painting away, exited the room, walked to the end of the hallway, and lit a cigarette to smoke. He put one hand in his pocket and held a cigarette in the other. The smoke was thick, blurring his expression, but the sharpness under his eyes was still so clear even if covered by smoke, as if it could penetrate everything. That sharp gaze always fell on that door, where she was inside.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He didnât know what he was doing standing there at night, probably hoping that he might be able to look at her.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The babyâs nursery room had been renovated and now converted into a childâs room. Lin Xiyu put the child on the bed, helped him undress, and helped him wash his face. She laid beside him and stayed quietly with him for a while.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu came out of Little Babyâs room, and saw Lu Junting standing at the end of the corridor, smoking a cigarette. There was a window at the end of the corridor, and the wind blew in, bringing the coolness of the spring night.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting turned his head to look over when he heard the sound, and just in time to meet her gaze at him. Lin Xiyuâs heart tightened sharply.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He just glanced back at her, then went back to smoking.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu lowered her head to adjust her breathing, and she gently called him, âBrother Junting.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brother Junting? This title made him stunned for a moment.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She used to call him like this, but then she hated him so much that she didnât have the slightest politeness to him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Why did she suddenly call him like this again?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She also used a gentle tone that had never been used to him before.</span></div></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">----------</span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><div><span style="font-size: large;">If you like my translation, please support me by buying me a coffee:</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><span><a href="https://ko-fi.com/oyen0710">https://ko-fi.com/oyen0710</a> </span><span>or </span><a href="https://trakteer.id/oyens">https://trakteer.id/oyens</a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b style="color: #e69138;"><span><span><a href="https://www.oyensblog.com/2023/09/using-marriage-as-bait-chapter-40.html">Previous Chapter</a> |</span></span></b><b><span><span><span style="color: #cc0000;"> </span><span style="color: #e69138;"><a href="https://www.oyensblog.com/p/using-marriage-as-bait.html">Table of Content</a> </span></span></span></b><span style="color: #e69138;"><b><span><span>| </span></span></b><b><span><span><a href="https://www.oyensblog.com/2023/09/using-marriage-as-bait-chapter-42.html">Next Chapter</a></span></span></b></span></span></div></div>Oyenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02923874792286361037noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-257116854364522428.post-10847846595093893442023-09-08T15:42:00.003+07:002023-09-18T14:12:27.697+07:00The Villains All Fell in Love with Me After Rebirth : Chapter 18 - Speaker of a Legislative<div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3K_FcQjp9W0_-bqC5XqIUW9ZuAmoPBWoBzgZgLj1ij9giNORdohBtcY2rmllKmsFsQxcxlG87cpbtO_levyci4-7GSeGXMpryZlWERRywjFPvr8uiY4a0MJDUE8RzqUtHgkELlk1dGaL0mM4k8EM3r7Sxv6v5ToDbPcQzCiFAeR15TKhD6TbLUDk-e8Q/s1200/The%20Villains%20All%20Fell%20in%20Love%20with%20Me%20After%20Rebirth.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="1200" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3K_FcQjp9W0_-bqC5XqIUW9ZuAmoPBWoBzgZgLj1ij9giNORdohBtcY2rmllKmsFsQxcxlG87cpbtO_levyci4-7GSeGXMpryZlWERRywjFPvr8uiY4a0MJDUE8RzqUtHgkELlk1dGaL0mM4k8EM3r7Sxv6v5ToDbPcQzCiFAeR15TKhD6TbLUDk-e8Q/w640-h214/The%20Villains%20All%20Fell%20in%20Love%20with%20Me%20After%20Rebirth.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>Hope you enjoy reading it~<span><a name='more'></a></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Chapter 18: Speaker of a Legislative</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling looked at Carlos in a daze, I donât expect that you are such a straightforward person, it really surprises me! Of course, I know that Jing Sui doesn't like me, in fact, everyone except the original owner himself already knows this, but no one pointed it out.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Itâs like The Emperorâs New Clothes*, everyone sees through it, but no one says anything.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">*"The Emperor's New Clothes" is a literary folktale written by Danish author Hans Christian Andersen, about a vain emperor who gets exposed before his subjects. The tale has been translated into over 100 languages.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">And now, this âsecretâ was being told by Carlos.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling felt very embarrassed, as Jing Suiâs number one brain-dead fan, should he be heartbroken, or grieving, or feel deeply hurt by these âcruelâ words?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He blinked his eyes, tears came down, reached out and beat Carlos on the chest, crying, âYou lie to me! I donât believe it! He, he⌠who are you to say he wonât like me!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As soon Carlos grabbed Ji Lingâs hand, his fingertips brushed his tear-stained cheeks, and looked at the teenagerâs hazy eyes as if he lost his soul. He said with a low voice, slow but ruthless, âIf he likes you a little, how can he blame you for that lowly commoner?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling said, âWhat you said is too fucking reasonable, reasonable and irrefutable, but I do not want to listen to this kind of words right now <i>ah</i>! I just want to play my water army well and get the reward to go home <i>ah</i>, you this old villain didnât pit me enough in my previous life, and in this life you even kill me with a thousand knife to hinder my âpursuit of true loveâ, thinking of this, he suddenly sad, you, as a villain boss, why do you have to fight with me as a cannon fodder?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling tearfully said, âPlease donât say anything!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos looked at the teenagerâs tearful eyes, the sadness and vulnerability in those eyes were intertwined, his heart sank slightly. For the first time he found that he would also have a moment of weakness, and he couldnât bear to continueâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">However, if Ji Ling was not allowed to recognize the reality, he would not give up even if he was injured all over by Jing Sui.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos suppressed the pity in his eyes, and said word by word, âWhy wonât you accept the reality?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling was pushed back by Carlos, almost didnât know how to continue. He gritted his teeth and forcefully pushed Carlos, full of âI donât believe, I donât want to listenâ expression and said viciously, âYou go away! I donât want you to mind my business!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Saying that, he turned and ran out!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He ran out without looking back, running a long way before cautiously looking back.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos did not follow.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling exhaled heavily. Great, fortunately, he was clever just now, and actually thought of such a way to block Carlosâs words, otherwise he almost had to be forced to reveal himself. This old fox is too scary.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Itâs not easy, itâs not easy to do the second time.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">..................</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos quietly watched as the teenager ran away from him with red, sad eyes.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But he didnât chase after him, didnât stop him. He just stood there motionless.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Everything in the previous life made him clearly understand how deep Ji Lingâs love for Jing Sui was. It was inevitable that he would find it difficult to accept what he said just now. It didnât matter if he didnât believe it for the time being, he would understand this fact one day⌠At that time, it was time to get him back to himself.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlosâs eyes were dark, his thin lips pursed into a straight line, and after a long time, he withdrew his gaze and turned to walk out.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Anderson waited outside the palace. According to custom, the banquet would not end until very late, but this time to his surprise, His Excellency the Duke went in and came out not long after.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He quickly stepped forward and asked respectfully, âWhy did you leave early, what happened?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos held a cane in his right hand, his deep gaze swept over Anderson. The outline of his elegant face seemed to be covered with a layer of coldness in the night, and he spoke lightly, âItâs nothing.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Anderson lowered his head and did not dare to ask again. He had been with Carlos for many years, and he was the best at observing words, so he knew very well that His Excellency the Duke was not in a good mood now. His Excellency the Duke entered with Young Master Ji Ling, but now he came out aloneâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thinking of His Excellency the Dukeâs favor for Young Master Ji Ling during this time, and then remembering the person that Young Master Ji Ling loved in his heart, Anderson felt that he might have discovered a terrible secret. He didnât dare to speak, lowering his eyebrows and not even daring to look at the Duke.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He bent down to open the door for Carlos, closed it when His Excellency the Duke got into the car, and drove out of the palace himself.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Not long after, the hover car stopped at the Dukeâs Mansion.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Anderson said, âIf there are no other orders, then I will retire first.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos turned his head and looked at him with downcast eyes, âWait.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Anderson said, âYes.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The corners of Carlosâs lips curved into a cold and treacherous arc, and he said lightly, âSince His Majesty wants a good reputation, letâs give him a hand.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Anderson finally raised his eyes in bewilderment; Isnât HIs Excellency the Duke most reluctant to see His Majesty gain the support of the commoners? This is very unfavorable to His Excellency the Dukeâs layout, and he has been secretly obstructing him before⌠Now he wants to help His Majesty gain a good reputation?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But he didnât dare to ask more, and answered respectfully, âYes.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Then, he watched as His Excellency the Duke left.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos returned to his manor and stood in the courtyard, looking at the empty garden in the night. The boy was no longer here, and probably wouldnât be back for a long time.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The look in his eyes became colder and colder, and a killing intent that could not be concealed gradually emerged.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">If he wanted Jing Sui to die in his previous life, it had nothing to do with any personal grudges, but just a pure dispute of interests⌠So in this life, his heart that wanted Jing Sui to die was prompted by jealousy, which was countless times stronger than before!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlosâs grip on his cane tightened, and a sneer appeared on his lips. Didnât you deliberately let the outside world speculate about your affair with Ning Yu in order to win peopleâs hearts? As the Lord of the Empire, in order to use the power of commoners to weaken the power of the nobles, he did not hesitate to use his marriage as a bargaining chip to marry a lowly commoner. I don't know if I should say that youâre ridiculous, or heartless? What a calm and rational person with no heart <i>ah</i>âŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But donât worry, Iâll help you this time.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Because then⌠the little cutie may give up sooner.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">..................</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling successfully found his parents at the banquet, and then went home together.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He couldnât understand why the dark and cold Carlos suddenly wanted to intervene in his emotional problems. It was really not like what this villain would do, but slowly Ji Ling also did not want to, he and Carlosâs three views were different and couldnât not be brought in, perhaps Carlos just had a sudden impulse to help him on whim? After all, he didnât provoke him in his previous life, and he also pitted himself <i>ah</i>âŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although there were some episodes and onlookers who did not play cards according to the routine, on the whole, the plot was completed smoothly today, which made Ji Ling feel slightly comforted.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Next, you just need to wait patiently for the next plot to happen.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">According to the description in the book, Jing Sui did not hesitate to punish Ji Ling in order to protect Ning Yu at the Palace Banquet. This matter was quickly spread, everyone knew that Ji Ling was punished by His Majesty because he was looking for trouble with Ning Yu, and in this matter, it looked like Ji Ling was the one who lost face, but the real vested interest was Jing Sui.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Without Jing Suiâs tacit consent, how could such a trivial matter that not many people know about spread and ferment in aristocratic circles in a short period of time, and spread directly to the Internet, becoming a gossip talk of everyoneâs afternoon tea?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The message that Jing Sui really wanted to convey was that he valued such an excellent and brave commoner evolutionary as Ning Yu and he was willing to defend his subjects and not hesitate to punish high-ranking noble children like Ji Ling. In his eyes, commoners and nobles were equal.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">An expert, truly an expert <i>ah</i>.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A small accident could also be used by him to win peopleâs hearts.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Not to mention Ji Ling, even Ning Yu was more valuable than emotional problems in Jing Suiâs eyes at the moment. Every time Ji Ling thought of this, he felt that it was also incredible that someone as rational and almost ruthless as Jing Sui could actually like Ning Yu and planned to marry him in the end.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After that, for Ji Ling, he felt it was a perfect win-win situation!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He successfully completed the mission, Jing Sui also gained the reputation he wanted, and got Ning Yuâs favor, perfect!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He didnât think it would be long for Jing Sui and Ning Yuâs scandal to come out. At that time, he would be able to be jealous logically and went to question Jing Sui. After that, he would be making a fool of himself as he failed to find fault and was slapping himself!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling was waiting at home happily, he went on the Internet every day, slept, and ate. This time, Carlos surprisingly did not come to find him and Wen Yan was also busy campaigning and did not appear in front of him. He didnât know how comfortable it was to live this little life.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thinking of the reliable <i>gong</i> and <i>shou</i>, Ji Ling seemed to be able to see a bright future beckoning to himâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The news on the Internet was also completely according to his expectations. The news that Jing Sui was defending Ning Yu at the banquet was indeed fermenting like in the previous life. The only thing that surprised Ji Ling a little was that the speed of fermentation and the repercussions caused by this matter were actually faster than in the previous life.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">However, he didnât care about this little change, compared to those few suspected reborn villains, this was simply not a problem. He understood the butterfly effects.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In addition to Jing Sui and Ning Yu during this period of time, there was also one thing that had attracted much attention, and that was the once-in-a-decade general election.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The election would elect a new Speaker of the Legislative.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling, who was familiar with the plot, knew very well that Wen Yan would ascend to the Speakerâs throne in this election with an unstoppable and absolute advantage, becoming the first commoner Speaker ever, and his limelight even overshadowed Ning Yu.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Like Ning Yu, Wen Yan would be regarded as an idol and pride by countless commoners. His success represented a breakthrough in the political rights of commoners, which was a historic change.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">However, Ji Ling knew that Wen Yan would not take the interests of commoners at heart.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Unlike the upright Ning Yu, he was a pure egotist who had long been sided with Carlos. So, every time Ji Ling had seen various comments praising Wen Yan on the Internet in the previous life, he had to forcefully hold back the flood of power in his body to not reveal Wen Yanâs true colors.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling really wanted to desperately shake the neck of the buddy on the other side of the Internet and said, âWake up, wake up! Itâs fine if you are becoming Ning Yuâs fans, forget about Wen Yan, he has already colluded with Carlos, the villain, to betray you guys <i>ah</i>!!!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But Ji Ling held back.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The money was enough, no, the benefits were enough. He definitely did not mess around, he had the professionalism of the mission taker!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Besides, it was useless even if he said it, no one believed him and he was just looking to spray himselfâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">More than ten days passed like this, doing nothing.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">On this day, Ji Ling was sleeping lazily and suddenly woke up by the sound of the communicator, which was actually the long-lost Lodz.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lodz: âAhhh, go look at the news <i>ah</i>! Do you know the results of todayâs election? Do you know who won?!!!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling was unhappy at being woken up. Isnât this nonsense? He knew the answer long ago, so he was very calm, he yawned and said, âWho is it <i>ah</i>?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lodz raised his voice and almost lifted the roof, âCome on, havenât you seen such important news? Itâs Wen Yan <i>ah</i>, that Wen Yan in your family <i>ah</i>, that commoner Wen Yan in your family <i>ah</i>!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Said it three times, you can see how shocked this kid is.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling was very speechless, but still reluctantly expressed his surprise, âOh? Itâs him?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lodz: âItâs him, itâs really him!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling: â...â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lodz was shocked and then yelled in dissatisfaction, âWhat are those people doing to eat, they canât even surpass the commoner and let a commoner become the Speaker of the Legislative! Arenât they all losers!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling thought to himself that it was probably the mentality of many nobles now, and he said, âWhat a bunch of losers.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lodz was dissatisfied and had to accept the facts, and said sourly, âHe also won narrowly, only less than 2% ahead of the 2nd place, but in any case, winning is winning and we have to face a commoner Speaker for the next ten years.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling was stunned and said, âWhat did you say?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lodz: âWe have to face a commoner SpeakerâŚâ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling was silent for a moment and said, âI wonât talk to you anymore!â He snapped and hung up the communication, turned on the news and read it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The news described the election as very thrilling and turbulent, and the process was described as the most dramatic campaign ever. One of the statistics was that Wen Yan really only less than 2% ahead of the second place, and came close to losingâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">However, Ji Ling remembered very clearly that the previous Wen Yan won this seat with an absolute advantage, at least 20% ahead of the second place, so the difference was too big!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling could not ignore this major change even if he wanted to.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A sudden thought suddenly appeared in his mind. Could it be that Wen Yan fell out with Carlos?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In the previous life, Wen Yan and Carlos secretly colluded and easily obtained this position, but with Wen Yanâs current status and power, once he lost Carlosâs support, it would be very difficult for him to continue to get the position of Speaker of the Legislative, and to narrowly win would be very impressive!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But why did they break up? There was no contradiction between the two people in the previous life <i>ah</i>, this plot change was inexplicable.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling couldnât help but ask the system: [Do you know whatâs going on?]</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">System was silent: [I donât know.]</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling: [...] He shouldnât expect anything from the system.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">At this time, the servant outside came to report, âYoung Master, His Excellency Wen Yan is here.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a bunch of guys who are taking advantage of the situation. This result has only just come out, and theyâve started to address Wen Yang by His Excellency.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling took back his thoughts, Wen Yan might just come to report the election results to him, but it was rare for him to be in the mood to deal with Wen Yan right now, because he knew that after Wen Yan became the Speaker, he would soon devote himself to his political struggle and escalation line, rapidly growing how own power, and the care of his own Young Master was no longer important to him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">His journey was a starry one, and he would not have time to come around to himself anymore!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">When he was thinking about it, Wen Yan had already pushed the door and entered.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling sat on the chair, looked at him reservedly and proudly, raised his chin and said, âItâs not bad that you didnât lose my face outside.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wen Yanâs silver hair was tied behind him, and his black phoenix eyes looked respectful, âFortunately, itâs not insulting.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling seemed to be very satisfied with his attitude, continued to show his arrogance, and snorted condescendingly, âEven if you become the Speaker, donât get carried away and forget your identity.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The contempt in his speech and demeanor was unconcealed.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After Ji Ling said this, he planned to wait for Wen Yan to leave. Who knew that Wen Yan suddenly stepped forward, took Ji Lingâs hand, dropped a kiss reverently and gently, and raised his eyes. âI wonât forget.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling was stunned.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wen Yan gazed deeply at him and said slowly as if making a promise. âNo matter what my identity is, one thing will not change, and that isââ I will always be your most loyal servant.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling looked at his narrow phoenix eyes and was in a trance for a moment, then snapped out of it. The acting skills of these villains were really good!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This guy was too hypocritical, too hypocritical.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He withdrew his hand and pouted in disgust. âI know, I know, go away.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In the face of Ji Lingâs impatient voice, Wen Yan was not annoyed at all, still respectful, and lowered his eyes to remove the burning love in his eyes.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Now outside, everyone was hostile to him, the commoner Speaker, and they couldnât wait to pull him down from this position. Not only did he need to face countless political opponents, he also had to deal with Carlosâs counterattacks, which was bound to be very difficult.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But whenever and wherever, as long as you are by the teenagerâs side, you will feel the warmth from your heart.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Because when everyone faced him with bad intentions, only the teenager did not hide his emotions and faced him sincerely. Even though his mouth said such words, Wen Yan could see that there was not the slightest bit of contempt and disgust in those eyes, and there was not even much shock⌠It seemed that no matter how far he went, he was able to face it calmly and lightly.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He never questioned him, let alone considered himself unworthy of the position as a lowly commoner.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">From the previous life, only the teenager helped him without reservation, seemingly arrogant and prideful, but from the inside of his heart, he looked at himself as an equal, and didnât change because of changes in the outside world.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">For me, everything I want to have now just to protect you.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">..................</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling finally sent Wen Yan away and continued to live his salted fish life.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A few days later, he finally saw the news he wanted to see the most!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">There was a well-known gossip media that released a group of photos of Jing Sui entering and leaving Brandonâs house and behaving intimately with Ning Yu, with the text alluding to the close relationship between Jing Sui and Ning Yu, otherwise how could Jing Sui openly blame Ji Ling at the banquet just to protect Ning Yu? The words between the lines hinted at the improper male-male relationship between Jing Sui and Ning Yu, and by the way, took Ji Ling out to step on his toes and became that stepping stone in the love between the <i>gong</i> and <i>shou</i>.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This news immediately caused an uproar, Ning Yuâs fans and Jing Suiâs fans pinched each otherâs throats. Jing Suiâs fans said, how could His Majesty like an lowly commoner, he just played for fun. Ning Yuâs fans said that their idol was so strong and so beautiful, he was so good. His Majesty had a discerning eye in looking at him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">When the two sides cursed, they would also occasionally wave over Ji Ling to curse him together.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling was very happy to see it, because he was so happy, it didnât even matter if he was cursed. He finally waited for this news! With his own personality, how could he bear this kind of grievance?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">More importantly, he was obsessed with Jing Sui and couldnât accept this scandal <i>ah</i>!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling closed the webpage, immediately switched seamlessly from the salted fish state to the working state, ran to find his mother, and begged, âMom, I want to enter the palace, can you take me in?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Madam Marina was choosing clothes at home, and when she heard this, she hesitated and said, âWhy do you suddenly want to enter the palace?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling lowered his head and said, âIâ I miss Aunt ShamanâŚâ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Madam Marina and Jing Suiâs mother, the Empress Dowager Madam Shaman, was indeed a good bosom friend. Madam Shaman had also been very fond of Ji Ling, but Ji Lingâs lie was too obvious. He clearly wanted to come because of Jing Sui only, but was embarrassed to say it. She touched her sonâs head and doted on him. âAlright.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âThank you Mom.â Ji Ling said happily.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Madam Marina nodded and smiled. âCome on, itâs only times like this, that you think of your Mom.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">..................</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">An hour later, the Ji Familyâs hover car slowly drove into the garden of the palace.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This Imperial Palace was not unfamiliar in Ji Lingâs memory, the original owner used to come over often, his mother, Madam Marina and Jing Suiâs mother, Madam Shaman, were good sisters since childhood, studying and growing up together. Later, Marina married Grand Duke Ji Ting and Shaman married the previous Emperor of the Empire and gave birth to the Imperial Son, Jing Sui. Both sisters had always been very close to each other.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">When the original owner was a child, Madam Marina often took him into the palace to play, so he met Jing Sui, who was ten years older than him, and admired this big brother who was perfect and handsome like a god, and gradually, this admiration had turned into adorationâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In fact, when the original owner was young, he was not so arrogant and disgusting. At that time, Jing Sui treated him well and treated him as a younger brother, but the original owner grew up not only became a bad dandy, but because of excessive possessiveness, often because of jealousy to go to find trouble for Jing Suiâs friends. He gradually made Jing Sui more and more disgusted and impatient with him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After all, no one liked such a trashtalker who couldnât be shaken off, was stupid and ignorant and caused trouble all day long.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The car stopped as Ji Ling reminisced, he walked into the gorgeous palace with his mother. Madam Shaman had already been waiting for them in the hall, she was very happy to see Ji Ling and smiled lovingly, âItâs been a long time since Iâve been over here, I miss you very much, Aunt.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling revealed a good-natured smile, he had always been well-behaved and pleasant in front of Madam Shaman.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Madam Shaman took Ji Lingâs hand, looked at it with concern for a long time, and let people prepare a large number of gifts, and said, âThese are for you, I know you like it.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Madam Marina watched from the side, and smiled helplessly, âI told you not to be so polite. Every time we come over, itâs like raiding the palace.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Madam Shaman raised her eyebrows, and the majesty of the Empress Dowager was full of momentum. âWho dares to say that!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling stayed there for a while, thinking of his mission, he couldnât sit still, rolled his eyes, and found an opportunity to speak, âAunt Shaman, mom, I want to go out and look around.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Madam Shaman and Madam Marian glanced at each other tacitly, and then Madam Shaman turned back to Ji Ling and said dotingly, âGo, and remember to come back early.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling nodded and said, âI know.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Saying that, he turned around and quickly slipped out of here. He was very familiar with the palace, and most of the servants here also knew Young Master Ji Ling, who was favored by the Empress Dowager, so naturally no one would stop him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling followed his memory and soon arrived outside of Jing Suiâs palace.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In the distance, he heard the roar of the wild beast in the palace, and Ji Ling knew that it was Jing Suiâs pet, a very powerful cloud hunting beast, which he had seen in his previous life. It could scare the piss out of him even when he was locked up in a cage.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although his legs were a little soft, for the sake of the mission, Ji Ling still walked in stiffly.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The tall man stood in front of an iron cage, his black hair draped over his shoulders, his face was handsome and lingering, his golden pupils were even more dazzling in the sunlight, his shoulders were broad and he had a narrow waist, with slender and straight legs.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He threw a piece of meat on the ground, and the huge beast in the cage quickly devoured it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling looked at the huge monster with a head that was nearly a hundred meters long, covered with sharp bones spikes, and looked fierce, silently swallowed a mouthful of saliva and then turned his head away so that he couldnât see it, silently thinking in his heart, âI canât see, I canât see, I donât seeâŚâ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He focused all his gaze on Jing Suiâs body, extremely focused, and never looked around a little! He walked over and raised his head and said, âBrother Jing Sui.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">When no outsiders were present, he called Jing Sui like this, which was their unique title.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui already knew that Ji Ling was coming, but it wasnât until he opened his mouth to call that he looked back at him, with an indifferent look in his eyes, and said, âWhat are you doing here?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling looked at his cold eyes, remembered the news he had seen before, forcing out her long-brewing tears, her eyes reddened as she looked at him, questioning in a tone of disbelief, âThe outside, the outside said that you and Ning Yu are togetherâŚâ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He looked steadily at Jing Sui and asked, âThatâs not true, right?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui looked at Ji Lingâs eyes. The teenagerâs clear eyes were so focused, looking at him with hopeful eyes, hoping for a negative answer.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">That incident was naturally not true, it was just a rumor that had been caught by someone, but he had no intention of clarifying it, much less explaining this to Ji Ling.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The corners of Jing Suiâs lip slowly lifted, and after a long time, he chuckled. âWhat if I say, itâs true?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He looked into the teenagerâs sad eyes that suddenly turned into disbelief and leaned over to approach him.

He obviously recognized Jing Sui, he walked over and nodded and smiled, âYour Majesty.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui looked sideways at him and raised the corner of his mouth slightly, âItâs you.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling quietly watched both of them talking from the sidelines, and his heart was excited!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The plot is finally right!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Itâs good!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The meeting, the conversation, and the demeanor of the two⌠All are exactly the same as the previous life! Ji Ling was moved to almost cry with joy, after facing so many villains who pitted, he finally saw someone who was willing to follow the plot. Sure enough, the protagonist <i>gong</i> and <i>shou </i>is still reliable!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">You are my hope to go home! My closest friend in this foreign country!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Over there, Jing Sui and Ning Yu talked cordially for a few moments, and then left for a while because of something. It was okay, Ji Ling knew he would be back soon, and in the middle of it all was the stage for him to make use of it, perfect!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In fact, there was nothing too ambiguous about Jing Sui and Ning Yuâs conversation, as for liking, it was at most a little bud just now, and it should be more appreciation and approval.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">If this scene seemed normal to others, they would only think that Jing Sui associated with him to win over peopleâs hearts.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But Ji Ling, as a vicious cannon fodder, didnât need logic to court disaster for himself! Just forcibly take your IQ offline, and go to make trouble for anyone Jing Sui has ever spoken to in a pleasant manner!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As for whether his behavior will be hated by Jing Sui?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Sorry, thatâs not important.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling quietly waited for Jing Sui to leave, and then he fixed his expression. He majestically walked towards Ning Yu under the tree while letting out an angry voice, âItâs you again!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ning Yu raised his head, and when he saw that it was Ji Ling who had come, his brows furrowed slightly and unnoticeably.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling glared at him fiercely, and said furiously, âYou lowly commoner, who let you come here? If you want to seduce His Majesty, His Majesty will not take a fancy to you!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ning Yu looked at Ji Ling, his thin lips pursed slightly, revealing an unreasonable expression, not willing to entangle with Ji Ling at all, turned around and left.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But Ji Ling finally seized the opportunity, how could he let him go? Reaching out, he grabbed Ning Yu and shouted, âWhere are you going? Stop right there!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ning Yuâs sleeves were pulled by Ji Ling, and he could only stop, looking back at the boy who was flailing at him like a grimacing beast snarling at him, ignorant and fearless. He suddenly laughed angrily, âLet go of me.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling glared at him, âNo!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ning Yu looked at him with a cold expression.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling wasnât going to be intimidated, it wasnât like Ning Yu could do anything to him. He showed a standard vicious cannon fodder jealousy look in high spirits and said loudly, âIf you dare to come close to His Majesty again, Iâll definitely not let you off the hook! Next time, you wonât be so lucky that someone will come to your rescue!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ning Yu lowered his eyes to look at him, the corners of her lips hooked up, and a meaningful voice was emitted, âReally?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This voice was his usual warmth, but mixed with a trace of unfathomable coldness, like a cold current hidden beneath the abyss of ten thousand fathoms under the melting sun of the rising sun⌠Let Ji Ling could not help but shiver, feeling the creepy anger from the soles of his feet.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thisâthis must be his illusion, how could the lovely and honest protagonist make such a terrible voice!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling was a little distracted, and almost forgot the following lines.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Fortunately, at this time, Jing Sui appeared again!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The corner of Ji Lingâs eyes caught a glimpse of Jing Sui coming over his way, his expression turned back to his senses. He simply stopped talking, raising his palm to slap Ning Yu! At the same time, he shouted, âRecognize yourself, and stay away from His Majesty!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As expected, this slap had failed.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling felt that his wrist was heavily held by a strong grip. When he raised his head, his eyes fell into a pair of cold golden pupils, and the indifferent eyes of the man looked at him lightly, chilling him to the core.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After experiencing so many setbacks, Ji Ling finally met a character who was so cooperative and reliable! Immediately moved, his eyes reddened, holding back tears of happiness, he said incoherently, âYourâYour MajestyâŚâ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Suiâs thin lips pursed slightly, and the impatience in his golden pupils flickered. If he hadnât thought about Grand Duke Ji Tingâs face, he would have long since stopped tolerating Ji Ling, his brows furrowed and he said sternly, âWhat are you doing?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Lingâs eyes shone when he heard this. He acted as if he was saddened and shocked as he muttered, âYour Majesty, you actually blame me for this lowly commoner?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The look in Jing Suiâs eyes became even colder, he gripped even harder and looked down into Ji Lingâs eyes. His voice contained a hidden warning, he was indifferent. âIf you continue to fool around like this next time, Iâll tell Grand Duke Ji ting and let him discipline you well.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although he didnât mention a single word about Ning Yu from beginning to end, his protection of Ning Yu and his disdain for Ji Ling were overflowing. His calm and coldness made Ji Lingâs quarrel seem so ridiculous and unreasonable!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In Jing Suiâs eyes, he was probably just a jumping clown who caused trouble for him everywhere.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ah, this contemptuous line was exactly the same as in the original book.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Lingâs tears almost welled up, thinking that even if there were </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">eleven million abnormal villains, as long as the <i>gong </i>and <i>shou </i>still followed the plot and could still say the right lines, then he could continue to do this mission!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He looked at Jing Suiâs cold face, but it was as if he saw the light of victory.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A glimmer of hope in someoneâs darkest hour.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was rare to encounter such a suitable scene, Ji Ling was about to continue to play a little. However, before he had the chance to speak, he heard a suddenly sharp voice with a hint of anger coming from the side, âJing Sui!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Who! Dare to call the Emperor by his first name so boldly?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling looked back in shock, and saw Brandon dressed in a black military uniform, his expression uniform, his expression was cold and striding forward, and there was undisguised anger in his gray pupils!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He couldnât help but be stunned, the previous Brandon did not appear here at all⌠This is a double act between him and Jing Sui, what are you doing here <i>ah</i>?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In the blink of an eye, Brandon had already arrived in front of him, his tall body blocking in front of Ji Ling, raising his hand to pinch Jing Suiâs wrist that was holding Jing Ling, his gray eyes looking at Jing Sui without avoiding or flickering, and said word by word, âRelease his hand.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling: â...â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui raised his eyes, and the incomprehensible look under his eyes flashed away, but he slowly let go of his hand and looked at Brandon thoughtfully.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Seeing that Jing Sui finally let go of his hand, Brandon couldnât even be bothered to accuse Jing Sui first, and hurriedly turned back to look at the teenager he had shielded behind him. The teenagerâs eyes were red, looking at him with a look of wanting to cry, and a red mark was pinched on his white wrist, which showed that Jing Sui was not merciless, all of which made Brandonâs heart ache.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui was too much, how could he bear to treat Ji Ling like this?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In the previous life, because he didnât care about Ji Ling at all, he didnât notice what happened at the banquet, only later did this matter spread out, and everyone knew that Ji Ling had humiliated Ning Yu at the banquet and was punished by His Majesty. Only then did he realize what had happened in the first place, but even if he heard about it at that time, he had only laughed it off.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After being reborn, fearing that the old thing would repeat itself and hurt the teenager, Brandon hurried over, but he was a step too late.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He should have stopped all this.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling looked at the worried and concerned look in Brandonâs eyes. This time Brandonâs defense was so obvious, the image was so contradictory that it made Ji Lingâs brain couldnât turn for a while. This iron-blooded soldier who had always been cold would actually defend a dandy like himselfâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Help, he canât really be reborn!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But even if you are reborn, whatâs the deal with you not staying away from me, the hateful dandy whoâs giving you a hard time, but instead contradicting Jing Sui for me <i>ah</i>? Isnât he your best friend?!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As soon as Ji Ling thought of what Brandon did, his tears almost didnât stop, but he quietly glanced at Jing Suiâs cold face, and it was like a shot in the arm again, at least the protagonist is still normal!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Steady, donât panic.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He can still continue!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling turned a blind eye to Brandon, biting his lip and looking at Jing Sui deadly, as if he was stubbornly enduring his grief!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui didnât even give him a single glance from the corner of his eye, but instead, with his hands behind his back and his lingering eyes looking thoughtfully at Brandon, he slowly said, âWhy are you here?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon looked at Ji Lingâs persistent and stubborn sad eyes, and felt sorry in his heart. Hearing Jing Suiâs plain words at this moment, it was suddenly like a fuse, causing much dissatisfaction in his heart to instantly explode out!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">You clearly understand how much Ji Ling loves you. He just wants you to care about him a little bit more, looking at him more, but you always disdain him, no fear of contempt, trample on his heart.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Abandoning a piece of his heart.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Do you know how he died in his previous life? Even if you hurt him like this, he still paid with his life for youâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But do you care? Maybe not.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The pure sincerity of a teenager should not be treated like this.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon endured the anger churning in his chest, looked at Jing Sui coldly, letting out a sneer, âYour Majesty, with your identity, it is not appropriate to be so calculating with a child, right?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Suiâs eyes were slightly condensed, fixed on Brandon. Since just now he noticed that Brandon was not right. This moment was confirmed, but what puzzled him was why did Brandon was defending a dandy he once despised the most? Instead, ignoring your comrades?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This is completely illogical.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The one he should be defending is Ning Yu.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Sui turned his head and glanced at Ning Yu, who hadn't said a word since a moment ago and had almost no presence with his eyes downcast and restrained, and his brows frowned.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ning Yu⌠doesnât seem to be surprised.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He just stood there quietly like a bystander.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A moment later, Jing Sui turned around and said lightly, âSince you opened your mouth, I naturally wonât care anymore.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although he was disgusted with Ji Lingâs nonsense, coming at this time to provoke Ning Yu with his stupidity and disrupt his plans, he said that he would let Ji Ting discipline him. Since Brandon objected and Ning Yu did not have any opinions, then naturally there was no need to make Brandon unhappy for this.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Compared with Brandonâs support for himself in the Military Department, Ji Lingâs matter was so small that it was not worth mentioning.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But Jing Sui planned to reveal this. Ji Ling was unwilling, he finally encountered such a good opportunity, how can he let Brandon spoil it?!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He immediately stepped forward, looked at Jing Sui with reddened eyes, relentlessly pursuing, âWhere did I do wrong? Iâm not wrong? Canât I not slap this lowly commoner?!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Suiâs eyes were slightly cold, and his thin lips were pursed, as if he was suppressing the impatience in his heart.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">When Brando saw Ji Lingâs reluctance, he was distressed and helpless. Although he knew that the teenager just loved Jing Sui too much⌠But doing this would only show that he was the one who was vexatious and unreasonable.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat stagnant, a cool voice came from the side.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos was wearing a black clothes, his posture was calm and elegant, with both hands holding the silver black cane, lazily leaning on the tree trunk. He didnât know how long he had been watching on the side, and at this moment, the corner of his mouth raised slightly. He raised his head and let out a chuckle. âLittle cutie is right, it's just a lowly commoner, why can't he be slapped?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Suiâs pupils shrank, his eyes were cold, and he looked closely at Carlos.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon also glared angrily at the same time. Although between Ji Ling and Ning Yu he chose to defend Ji Ling, it was all the guilt from his previous life that had tilted the scales in his heart, which did not mean that he could tolerate Carlos, a bastard, to humiliate his comrade!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos met the gaze of the two people, calmly looked into Jing Suiâs eyes, and smiled slowly, âAm I right? Your Majestyâââ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The last two words were drawn out in a long tone, with a hint of sarcasm and provocation.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jing Suiâs eyes changed slightly.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling turned his head to look at Jing Sui, wanting to see what reaction he had. Although Carlos in the previous life only watched from the sidelines and did not get involved, a lot of things were different in this life, and Ji Ling wasnât that surprised by Carlosâs appearance. But Carlosâs attitude didnât matterâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The attitude of the male lead was the key.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The air froze for a moment like a frozen abyss of a thousand feet, and even breathing could be clearly heard.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In such silence, Jing Sui looked directly at Carlos. His golden eyes were cold and chilling, and said, âMajor Ning Yu is a heroic soldier, and as a citizen of the Empire, he deserves the respect that belongs to him, so please take back your inappropriate wording, Carlos.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos looked at Jing Sui.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After a long time, he shrugged his shoulders and smiled lazily. âIt seems that Your Majesty must protect him?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span>Jing Sui looked at him lightly, him tone was calm, but with the unquestionable nature of being an Emperor, and he said loudly, âYes.</span><span>â</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling saw Jing Sui defending Ning Yu so strongly in front of Carlos, and he couldnât wait to give him a thumbs up. I like a reliable big brother like you! Determined not to fall apart as a character simply canât be better!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The tears that had been swirling in his eyes since a moment ago, finally flowed down.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon looked at the young man in a trance as he looked at Jing Sui silently shedding tears, his heart ached as if it was being gripped by a hand. He had always known that Jing Sui was a person who was ruthless to the point of being emotionless, and also knew that he wouldnât stop for anyone at all, but seeing such a scene⌠For the first time, there was a strong resentment and anger in his heart towards this friend he once knew and trusted.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Youâre just going head-to-head with Carlos, and donât care if a teenager gets hurt by misunderstanding this.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Even hurting others without realizing it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Or maybe you know and just donât care.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon clenched his fists and closed his eyes in pain, but was he really qualified to blame Jing Sui? Such a scene reminded him of himself in his previous lifeâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In the previous life, did he also hurt the teenager like this?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling looked at Jing Sui, who had a cold look, and then at Brandon, who was struggling with his eyes, and finally his gaze fell on Carlos, who was standing lazily.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Seeing the three big guys standing against each other, the plot had been beaten by Brandon and Carlos, and even the original author probably didnât recognize them anymore⌠Fortunately, after his unremitting efforts, he can be regarded as having achieved his goal! Because Jing Sui had slapped him in the face in front of Ning Yu. He could logically be deeply jealous about Ning Yu and start planning his next move.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">There was no use in staying, and it was time to retreat.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling wiped the corners of his eyes, pretending to look at Jing Sui with hatred, it seemed that he couldnât withstand such a blow at all, and suddenly turned his head and ran out with tears!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon originally wanted to chase him out, but Carlos was one step faster than him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Remembering the teenagerâs trust dependence on Carlos, Brandon stopped with difficulty, his eyes struggling with the fact that now the teenager is grieving, and his presence would only make it more difficult and frightening for him, right?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He clenched his right hand and slowly looked back at Jing Sui. The pain in his eyes flickered, and his voice was low and hoarse, with a trace of deep weakness and exhaustion, âYou shouldnât be so harsh on him, he just⌠like you.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling left the scene of the accident with âheartbrokenâ, but now is not the time to relax, for he knew that Carlos had come after him, and the rest of the play had to be performed.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos, the old fox, was too perceptive, but he couldnât let him notice his problem.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He ran to a pool before he stopped, panting, looking back at Carlos, with grievous tears in his eyes, and made a choked soft voice, âUncle CarlosâŚâ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos took out a handkerchief, gently wiped the tears from the corners of the teenagerâs eyes, and said gently, âDonât cry.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling told himself to cry! Keep crying!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">With red eyes and tears flowing silently, he said, âHis Majesty, he actually treated me like this for the sake of a lowly commoner⌠He actually protects him like thisâŚâ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos looked at the sadness in the teenagerâs blue eyes, and the jealousy in his heart was like a poisonous snake spitting out its letter. Although he had always known that Ji Ling liked Jing Sui, when he saw this scene with his own eyes, he was still so jealous that it was painful. He couldnât wait to directly possess the teenager in this way, so that his eyes could no longer look at anyone else and shed tears for someone else.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span>Ji Ling looked at Carlosâs dark expression, remembering that he was a big villain who wanted to kill people without saying a word. He really didnât dare to say a bad word about Ning Yu in front of him, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration. He couldnât mention Ning Yu but he could mention Jing Sui </span><i>ah</i><span>! Anyway, Jing Sui was the one Carlos couldnât kill even if he wanted to!</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He felt that he was simply too smart. He swallowed back Ning Yuâs name and began to dutifully hate Jing Sui, crying. âHis Majesty also said that he would tell my father and let him discipline me⌠In his eyes, am I such an unreasonable person?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos looked at the teenagerâs indignant appearance, and remembered all the things in his previous life. The depths of his eyes were cold, and he couldnât help but feel murderous intent towards Jing Sui.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling said in his heart that both of them were big guys anyway, and they would not implicate the innocent. He desperately put up a persona for himself, reddened his eyes and questioned, âI like him so much, why doesnât he like me⌠to like that lowly commoner, whatâs so great about that lowly commoner?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos looked at him fixedly for a long time, and then slowly exhaled a breath. The color of his eyes as dark as a whirlpool, he gently took the boyâs trembling body into his arms, and his voice was gentle with a low tone, âThen just donât like him.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">How can this be! I just âlikeâ Jing Sui even to death!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling persisted, âI like him!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos looked at the boyâs stubborn and bright eyes, even if he was scorned and hurt like this, it didnât damage your heart for him in the slightest. Why do you refuse to recognize reality earlier? Why do you refuse to give up even when youâve been injured all over?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">That person, where is his worth for you to like him this much?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He simply doesnât deserve your affection at all.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos closed his eyes and opened them again. The gentle love and compassion under his eyes was finally covered by a cruel and cold color. He pressed one hand on the boyâs shoulder, lowered his head slightly, gazed down into the teenagerâs eyes and said, âDonât you understand yet?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling looked at him in bewilderment.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He saw Carlosâs thin lips open lightly, and he made a low and slightly cool voice, âHe wonât like you, no matter what you doâŚâ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âHe wonât like you.â</span></div></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span>----------</span></span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><div><span style="font-size: large;">If you like my translation, please support me by buying me a coffee:</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><span><a href="https://ko-fi.com/oyen0710">https://ko-fi.com/oyen0710</a> </span><span>or </span><a href="https://trakteer.id/oyens">https://trakteer.id/oyens</a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800180;"><b><span><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.oyensblog.com/2023/08/VALIR-ch-16.html">Previous Chapter</a> |</span></span></b><b><span><span style="font-size: large;"><span> </span><span><a href="https://www.oyensblog.com/p/villains-all-fell-in-love-with-me-after.html">Table of Content</a> </span></span></span></b><span><b><span><span style="font-size: large;">| </span></span></b><b><span><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.oyensblog.com/2023/09/VALIR-ch-18.html">Next Chapter</a></span></span></b></span></span></div></div>Oyenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02923874792286361037noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-257116854364522428.post-50873745175254825892023-09-01T12:52:00.003+07:002023-09-14T12:45:06.698+07:00Using Marriage as Bait : Chapter 40<div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnNzdvthbOOtv0uxQFWFBFO17_yLMBHCai7rY9Sr1TfgdQi-yaSwX5Nf0Hn7VUrK_zGX2a080YjRY0cVi2uMnhmjdKKOF3cZcae4NvRlRBB0SQwb4edlYI_aLUmOmv31MEj8cMeMP6MGrvIzMiPSZHzppfkxPWW2e031mPeHECQas8MNAxk5dKqMBEVGE/s1200/using%20marriage%20as%20bait1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="1200" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnNzdvthbOOtv0uxQFWFBFO17_yLMBHCai7rY9Sr1TfgdQi-yaSwX5Nf0Hn7VUrK_zGX2a080YjRY0cVi2uMnhmjdKKOF3cZcae4NvRlRBB0SQwb4edlYI_aLUmOmv31MEj8cMeMP6MGrvIzMiPSZHzppfkxPWW2e031mPeHECQas8MNAxk5dKqMBEVGE/w640-h214/using%20marriage%20as%20bait1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>Happy Reading~ 17 more chapter before the end of the main story, and there will be extras for their child. For me, I don't really like the extra lol, but I will translate it at the fastest speed(<i>maybe </i>đ)<span><a name='more'></a></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Chapter 40: He Helped Her Out</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although she guessed that it would be Lu Junting on the way here, she was still shocked to hear his name. Lu Junting helped her to pay off her parentsâ debt, and Lu Junting also contributed to her tuition and living expenses, in order to make her feel at ease in Luâs House, and even lied that her parents left her more than one million.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Was it just because of respect for her parents? More than ten million was not a small amount of money <i>ah</i>. At that time, he had just taken over Changheng, and had not yet begun to invest in the later Storm Technology, and Changheng was far from developing as well as it was now, but more than ten million he said to take it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Zhang Yao also said, âXixi <i>ah</i>, you canât let Junting know about this, he told us not to tell you at that time.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Why not tell her, why didnât he let her know? Was it to make her stay more comfortable in Luâs House? Didnât you want her to feel that she owed their Lu family, didnât you want her to feel restless for living on another personâs roof? </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">That was why he deliberately took out a million, falsely claiming that it was left to her by her parents. She always thought that her parents left her a million, and she gave this money to Zhang Yao and because of this, she was at ease to live in Lu's house. At least, she did not eat for nothing, she gave living expenses.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But now she knew where she got her living expenses. Her parents not only did not leave her living expenses, but also left her more than 10 million debts. Thanks to the Lu family, otherwise she would have to pay for her parentsâ debt at a young age.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">No, it was not owed to the Lu Family, it was owed to Lu Junting.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu took a few steps back, she closed her eyes, and bean-sized tears instantly rolled down her eyes. Zhang Yao was frightened by her appearance, and she hurriedly asked, âXixi, whatâs wrong?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âIâm okay Aunt Yao, Iâm fine.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Her voice was hoarse.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Why did Lu Junting help the Lin family? The Lin family had no relationship with him, even if her mother and Zhang Yao were good sisters, but they didnât have much to do with Lu Junting, why should he help the Lin family to pay off debt, just because he respected the Lin familyâs two elders?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She suddenly thought of what Lu Junting had said to her, âThatâs because you forgot, we have known each other for a long time, when we were still very young, we had met when you came to the Lu family to play.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He also said, âRemember that painting you saw in my room? The painting is me and you, the little girl is you, and the little boy is me.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She only thought he was lying to her, and she felt that the man was full of lies.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">What if they really did know each other at a very young age? What if it was really her and Lu Junting on the painting, what if she really helped him blow his wounds when he was injured? What if she really forgot about their intersection? What if he really hadnât lied to her?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu suddenly thought of something, and she hurriedly said to Zhang Yao, âAunt Yao, I remember you once told me that I came to live here for a while when I was about three years old.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">That day, Zhang Yao talked about the embarrassing incident when she and Lu Yuan were still a child, and mentioned that she had come to live here when she was three years old, but she had no recollection of it at all.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âI remember, why?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âDid I take a photo with Lu Yuan at that time?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Zhang Yao said, âI donât remember much, it seems like it was taken, but that was many years ago, and Iâm not too sure anymore.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âCan Aunt Yao help me find my photos at that time?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Zhang Yao saw that she looked anxious, she asked, âWhatâs wrong Xixi?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âItâs nothing, I just want to know what I was like back then. Aunt Yao, please help me.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Zhang Yao didnât know why she was suddenly anxious to get photos when she was three years old. Her anxious appearance made Zhang Yao also worried, she said, âThe home has been renovated before, a lot of things are lost somewhere. I canât guarantee that I can find them.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âIt doesnât matter, try to find it if you can, and if you canât, forget it.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The three-room side was renovated once after Lin Xiyu moved to live with Lu Junting, and that time they all moved to the main floor because of the three-room renovation, and Lin Xiyu even slept in Lu Juntingâs room because of it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">At that time, Zhang Yao had packed all the âancientâ things into a few large boxes and put them in the attic. Lin Xiyu was anxious at this time, so she called the helper to come and look for it together.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Four large cabinets stuffed with some old clothes that they didnât wear, some toys that Lu Yuan had played with when she was a child, and bits and pieces of knickknacks.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">There was a large photo album in one of the cabinets. Lin Xiyu flipped through it, and there was no photo of her in it. Several people tossed for most of the day and did not find a photo with Lin Xiyu. Lin Xiyu was about to give up, and heard Zhang Yao exclaim in surprise, âThere is really a group photo.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu hurriedly leaned over to see that it was indeed a photo of her and Lu Yuan. It should have been taken at the amusement park, the background behind the two of them was a huge Ferris wheel.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">At that time, she and Lu Yuan were still young, and the two of them sat side by side under the Ferris wheel, smiling to show a row of white teeth.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu thought that Lu Junting was lying to her, because she remembered that she didnât have long hair before she was eleven years old. She had a lot of hair, she had lice, and her mother was too busy to help her take care of it, so she had memories that she had cut her hair short until junior high school as far back as she could remember, so she decided that the girl in the painting with the ponytail wasnât her.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">However, the little girl in the photo had long thick hair down, and if it was tied into a ponytail, it should be about the same length as the little girl in the painting.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It turned out that when she was three years old, she really had long hair.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu had forgotten how she left Luâs house, and she sat in the taxi in a daze, images flashing through her mind on a looped repetition.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âCanât you see when I make it so obvious? Because I like you!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She didnât believe that he liked her, she felt he was a liar and he was using her.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She remembered the day when the sky was gloomy and gray, and the willows on both sides of the road were shrouded in a layer of gray smoke. He hugged her from behind at the entrance of the community, and he said to her in a hoarse voice, âXixi, I love you, I really love you. I canât live without you.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She was still rejoicing at that time, fortunately she didnât believe his words. She even mocked in her heart, look how much he acted, this man with a deep heart, he didnât even blink when he lied.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">So she rejected him without mercy.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">At that time, even the injury under his eyes was so realistic, like a beast that had been hit hard, seriously injured, and ready to fall at any moment. That calm Lu Junting showed such a disheveled look and surprised her for a long time.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Now that I think about it, he was really in pain at that time, right?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âIâve never liked you, and youâre not my type.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">I donât know what those words sound like to him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Just met the red light, the car stopped and waited, Lin Xiyu looked out the window, and it was really a coincidence, not far away was Changhengâs high-rise building. She looked at the highest place, and Lu Junting was there at the moment.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was so close <i>ah</i>, it was just across the street, and she could get to it by elevator.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But it was so far away <i>ah</i>, they didnât have anything to do with each other anymore.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu got out of the car here, she sat on the bus platform. Changheng Group was a big landmark in Ancheng, the platforms were all named after Changheng.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The rain was still falling, the rain and fog became a cloud of smoke, and the surrounding scenery became ethereal, but only the tall building opposite Changheng clearly stood.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Why did she hate Lu Junting, because he used her as a stand-in and tricked her into giving birth to a child. She thought he was just using her.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">What if he just tricked her into giving birth? She never regretted giving birth to Little Baby, she just hated him for using her as a stand-in so he tricked her into giving birth.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But if he really never used her as a stand-in, if he really wanted her to have the baby because he liked her, as he said, would she still hate him?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The man who silently paid her parentsâ debt and didnât let her know, and even paid for her to live and study in peace. The man who stood in the wind and snow to beg for a letter left by her father.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">What right did she have to hate him? Even if he did use her as a stand-in, she had no right to hate him. What she owed him could not be paid off in this life. More than ten million, her life was not more than ten million, even if he really wanted to use her and let her bear a child for him for the rest of her life, she still wouldnât be able to pay it back, right? And he also let her live in the Lu family for so many years.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She remembered him once saying, âYou donât have to do anything, just know how to run home when it rains.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">At that time he had just taken the letter his father had given to her, and he didnât need her to do anything, he just wanted her to run home when it rained.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She looked at the raining sky in front of her and laughed to herself.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Itâs raining again today. Lu Junting, can I still run home?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu woke up from her dream, she couldnât remember how many times she had dreamt of Lu Junting. She sat on the bed for a while, took her phone and glanced at it, it was already six oâclock. It was Saturday, she didnât have to go to the club, she got up and made a simple breakfast. She had bought a house near the club, a two bedroom one, big enough for her to live in alone. After eating breakfast, Lin Xiyu received a call from Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan asked her to go out to play.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âAnyway, you have nothing to do, come out and hang out, donât be bored at home.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu responded quickly, âOkay.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Both of them first went to the mall to buy some things, and then found a cafe for refreshments.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Both of them were chatting. Lu Yuan suddenly thought of something and said to her, âBy the way, tomorrow our company will hold an anniversary celebration, if you are okay, come and play.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Yuan was now in Changhengâs legal department, and was the vice minister of the legal department. Originally, the Lu family had a rule, and the Lu familyâs second and third house could not hold a position in Changheng, for fear of family infighting, but Lu Yuan directly appointed into Changhengâs legal department by Lu Junting. The rules were made by people, and Lu Junting, as the current Lu familyâs patriarch, others could not say anything to his arrangements.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu said, âWhat would an outsider like me do at your companyâs anniversary celebration?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âWatch the excitement, there will be a lot of shows then.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She didnât know if Lu Junting would go toChanghengâs anniversary celebration, so Lin Xiyu asked as if he was casually, âWill brother Junting be there?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âHe will definitely go, and he will also give awards to outstanding employees.â Lu Yuan thought that she was afraid of seeing her eldest brother awkwardly. Since the divorce, Lin Xiyu had obviously been avoiding his eldest brother, Lu Yuan said, âOh, itâs nothing. Although you are divorced, donât you still have a common child? Say hello when you run into each other, thereâs no need to act like old enemies.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu didnât want to avoid him, but wanted to see him. She just wanted to look at him from a distance and see if he was doing well.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âCan I go?â asked Lin Xiyu.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âOf course you can, I'll help you get an admission ticket when the time comes, and I'll take you inside.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Changhengâs anniversary celebration was held in Changhengâs hall. The hall was on the seventh floor, Changheng had many employees, and not all employees could participate. The people who came to participate in the anniversary celebration were some management personnel and some outstanding employees.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Yuan was waiting for her at the entrance of Changheng Group. Changheng management was particularly strict, you had to swipe the employee card to get on the elevator, and Lin Xiyu couldnât enter alone.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Yuan took her to the hall on the seventh floor to find a place to sit down. Just in the third row, this position was quite close to the front platform, and Lu Junting would not be able to see her at a glance when he came to the stage.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She actually wanted to look at him from a distance, because of the guilt in her heart. She wanted to see how he was doing, and she didnât want to meet him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âLu Yuan, Iâd better go and sit in the back.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âWhy?â Lu Yuan was puzzled and sad, âIsnât it good to sit in the front? There will be a show for a while, and itâs clear to see.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âItâs weird for me to sit in the front as an outsider, Iâd rather go in the back.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Without waiting for Lu Yuan to speak, she walked away. The hall was very large and there were many people. Lu Yuan wanted to stop her, and when she looked back, Lin Xiyu had already disappeared in the crowd.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âReally. Why do you need to go to the back if you can get such a good seat in the front?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Yuan silently complained. As soon as the words fell, there was one more person on the seat next to her. Lu Yuan subconsciously glanced sideways, and she was surprised to see the person coming, it turned out to be Qin Yue.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âIsnât president Qinâs seat in the first row? Why are you here?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Qin Yue looked ahead, without looking at her. âSomeone else changed seats with me, he said he was in the third row, and I saw this was the only empty seat in the third row, so I sat over here.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Yuan leaned her elbow on the armrest to support her chin. âWho is so bold as to dare to switch seats with President Qin <i>ah</i>?â Lu Yuan poked at his shoulder with a feigned look of deep meaning. âI think President Qin came to sit with me on purpose, right? Why? President Qin took a fancy to me?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Qin Yue finally glanced at her slowly, his face was serious, and his tone was solemn, âMiss Lu, please respect yourself.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She really couldnât look at him in this proper and serious manner. When she saw him, she was full of mischief and wanted to destroy it. Lu Yuan leaned over and deliberately got close to him. She winked at him, and the warm breath in her mouth sprayed all over Qin Yuâs face, she said. âWhat if I donât respect myself?â .</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Qin Yue: â...â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Qin Yue turned around, completely with an expression of not wanting to take care of her. He put his hands on his knees and sat upright. Lu Yuan remembered that Qin Yue seemed to have been in the military before, and this look of his was really a bit of a soldierâs look.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">However, Lu Yuan soon discovered an interesting thing, this man with a serious expression and sitting upright had ears that were as red as if they had been boiled.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Obviously, he looked serious but shy as hell, blushing at the slightest tease.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Yuan held her chin and looked at him, and said with a smile, âQin Yue, why are you so cute <i>ah</i>?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Qin Yue: â...â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu found a seat in the back row, the anniversary celebration was about to begin. The host took the stage to maintain order, and soon the noisy hall quieted down. Changheng Group was rich and powerful, the hosts of the anniversary celebration were invited from TV stations, and the hosting level was first-class.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Yuan did not lie to her, Changhengâs anniversary celebration did have many shows, and they were all quite exciting, but Lin Xiyu had no intention of enjoying the show.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting came on stage after the fifth show, and with a round of warm applause, he stood in the center of the stage. There was a large screen behind him that reflected his appearance, so even if Lin Xiyu was sitting in the last row, she could see him clearly.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He was well-dressed and in good spirits. He did not have the slightest stage fright in the face of a group of people, calmly summed up the work, motivated the employees, winning a burst of cheers from below.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu looked at the man in front of her, thinking that once faced with her ruthless rejection, he stood at the door of the community where she lived with a hurt face, and did not leave for a long time.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">And now, standing in the spotlight, the calm and confident man was the same. He should have been like this, the stars arched the moon, standing at the top, attracting attention and being sought after by everyone.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting was followed by a woman, with short shoulder-length hair, a white suit and a pair of black wide-leg pants underneath, looking competent and stylish.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In the past year, although Lin Xiyu had not met Lu Junting in reality, he had often seen him on financial forums, and this woman had often followed him to attend events in recent years. Lu Yuan had told her the name of this woman.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Her name was Liu Manqing, who was originally in the overseas branch. She was transferred back to the headquarters at the end of last year, and now she is the vice president of Changheng Group, from what Lu Yuan said.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">There were several girls sitting in the front seat of Lin Xiyu, and at this moment, those girls were whispering.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âI think our Vice President Liu and Chairman Lu are really a good match, donât you think so?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âI also think that the man is handsome and the woman is pretty, and they are also very tacit at work. No matter how I look at it, I think they are a couple.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âYeah. One is the son of Heaven and the other is the daughter of Heaven. Iâm kowtowing to this CP.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting did not stay on the stage for long, simply explained a few words, awarded the outstanding employees and left. Once Lu Junting left, Lin Xiyu didnât have much intention to enjoy the performance, she sent a text message to Lu Yuan, who was probably watching the show and didnât reply to her.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu came out of the hall, Changheng Group was very large, she went around to find the elevator. At this time, everyone went to the anniversary celebration, the corridor was quiet, and Lin Xiyu was waiting alone next to the elevator.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The elevator came, Lin Xiyu went upstairs and pressed the negative one, pressed a few times and couldnât press it. Lin Xiyu quickly understood, she didnât expect Changheng to be so strict as this, to swipe a card to go upstairs and to swipe the card on the way down as well?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu hesitated, whether to go back to the hall to find Lu Yuan or find the stairs to go down directly. Just when Lin Xiyu hesitated , she saw the elevator door suddenly open, and a woman stood outside, looking like an employee of Changheng.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The woman walked into the elevator, looked at her suspiciously and asked, âWhy donât you swipe your card?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu was a little embarrassed. âIâŚâ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Before she finished speaking, the woman suddenly became vigilant. âWhich department are you in?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu said, âIâm not from Changheng, IâmâŚâ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âYouâre not from Changheng?â The woman exclaimed, âHow did you blend in if youâre not from Changheng?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu was about to explain, but the woman dragged her out of the elevator and shouted outside, âSecurity, security guard come here.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The security guard on duty nearby heard the voice and hurried over. The woman pushed Lin Xiyu forward and said, âHurry up and send this person to the police station, she is sneaky and I donât know how she got in. I donât think she looks like sheâs going to do anything good.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu: â...â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu really didnât expect Changhengâs people to be so sensitive to outsiders, and they directly treated her as a villain without listening to her explanation.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The head of security came forward and asked in an extremely impolite manner, âHow did you get in here? What are you doing here?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Before Lin Xiyu could answer, the woman said, âDonât talk nonsense to her, just send her to the police station. The police will ask when the time comes.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Then the security guard did not ask more, and directly said to Lin Xiyu, âYou came with me.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âThat⌠Iâm not a bad person, my friend brought me in.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âFriend?â The woman said in a stern voice, âWhatâs your friend's name? Which department?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu was about to say Lu Yuanâs name, only to hear a sudden shout next to her.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âWhatâs going on?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A few people had heard the voice and turned to look, and saw a group of people walking over the other side of the corridor, but they saw a person led by a sword eyebrow and starry eyes. He was surrounded by a group of people, dazzling as a flock of chickens. Li NXiyu saw him at a glance, only to hear her heart thump. Lin Xiyu swore that she really only wanted to take a look at Lu Junting from afar when she came here today, never thinking that she would meet him face to face.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Over the past year, she was also very self-aware. Even if she was in Luâs house with Lu Junting, she had always kept her peace and quiet over in the third house, never going to the main building. This was probably a year after that she met with Lu Junting again, so suddenly, and under these circumstances.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting was also followed by a group of people, and the voice just now came from the assistant beside him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting naturally also saw Lin Xiyu, his gaze swept over her face, his expression did not change much. He was not surprised how she suddenly appeared here, as if she was just an ordinary person to him, or he was so deep that he wouldnât reveal his emotions even if he had them.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting had only just delivered a speech at the anniversary meeting, who didnât recognize this big boss. When the woman saw Lu Junting, she immediately changed her face and greeted respectfully, âIâm sorry to have disturb president Lu, itâs just a trivial matter, weâll take care of it right away.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She winked at a few security guards, and the security guard immediately stepped aside, and even dragged Lin Xiyu, who was yanked back so violently that she almost didnât stand still and stumbled a few steps.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The woman said respectfully again, âPresident Lu, please.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting didnât leave, he didnât go, and the people behind him naturally followed obediently.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âWhatâs going on?â He asked.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The woman said, âItâs not a big deal, itâs just this person canât get off the elevator without a card. I see that sheâs being sneaky, and Iâm asking the security guard to send her to the police station.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Juntingâs gaze fell on Lin Xiyu again. Lin Xiyu was simply embarrassed to death, running to his company and being bumped into by him, not to mention, she was bumped into him in this situation.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In an embarrassing situation, Lin Xiyu twisted her face to the side and pretended she didnât know him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âI brought her here.â Lu Junting suddenly spoke.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">These words not only surprised the woman, but even Lin Xiyu had a look of disbelief on her face. Her attitude of pretending not to recognize him was so obvious that there was no way he didnât see it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Both of them had divorced, and they were in a stalemate before the divorce. They hadnât seen each other in the past year, she had put on an attitude of pretending not to know, and Lu Junting didnât need to care about her.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âAny more questions?â Lu Junting asked again.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The security guard who was dragging Lin Xiyu hurriedly let her go, and the woman came back to her senses and laughed dryly, âThat⌠That seems to be a misunderstanding, sorry President Lu.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âThereâs nothing wrong with being a little wary in the face of outsiders, but arresting someone without even asking them clearly is a little impulsive.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting said calmly, but the woman gasped when she heard this, and hurriedly said, âWhat President Lu said is right, it was me who was too impulsive.â After speaking, she also rushed to Lin Xiyu, âIâm sorry Miss. Recently Changheng lost some confidential documents and everyone is quite nervous during this time. I hope I havenât caused you any trouble.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu answered absentmindedly, âItâs fine.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting turned his head sideways and explained a few words to the people around him. Lin Xiyu was distracted and he she didnât hear what he said. Anyway, when she came back to her senses, there was no one else in the corridor except him. Lu Juntingâs tall figure entered the elevator, he looked at her and asked, âDonât go?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu took a deep breath and lowered her head to get on the elevator. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The door of the elevator slowly closed, and in the not very spacious elevator, there were just him and her.</span></div></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">----------</span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><div><span style="font-size: large;">If you like my translation, please support me by buying me a coffee:</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><span><a href="https://ko-fi.com/oyen0710">https://ko-fi.com/oyen0710</a> </span><span>or </span><a href="https://trakteer.id/oyens">https://trakteer.id/oyens</a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b style="color: #e69138;"><span><span><a href="https://www.oyensblog.com/2023/08/using-marriage-as-bait-chapter-39.html">Previous Chapter</a> |</span></span></b><b><span><span><span style="color: #cc0000;"> </span><span style="color: #e69138;"><a href="https://www.oyensblog.com/p/using-marriage-as-bait.html">Table of Content</a> </span></span></span></b><span style="color: #e69138;"><b><span><span>| </span></span></b><b><span><span><a href="https://www.oyensblog.com/2023/09/using-marriage-as-bait-chapter-41.html">Next Chapter</a></span></span></b></span></span></div></div>Oyenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02923874792286361037noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-257116854364522428.post-88733652787404559272023-08-31T12:27:00.002+07:002023-09-01T12:51:46.665+07:00Using Marriage as Bait : Chapter 39<div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwWGMbNwhlWsa48I0Np0-hX6abYoGkz0JrNDX0CizkY_R4Om-09XeBKg-tD4ngJ_i6nvCgGPJJo_aSNqHu2YtozRwm3GJHbHqMAg-irFzvBHW9PxTIL7ZwTHF-pzBUvivH5wmKFvd_E1MYrMA8_9cTWERKEXCVvDGErtJB5WZDWxfs1K5TmFvo2NjZBzw/s1200/using%20marriage%20as%20bait1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="1200" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwWGMbNwhlWsa48I0Np0-hX6abYoGkz0JrNDX0CizkY_R4Om-09XeBKg-tD4ngJ_i6nvCgGPJJo_aSNqHu2YtozRwm3GJHbHqMAg-irFzvBHW9PxTIL7ZwTHF-pzBUvivH5wmKFvd_E1MYrMA8_9cTWERKEXCVvDGErtJB5WZDWxfs1K5TmFvo2NjZBzw/w640-h214/using%20marriage%20as%20bait1.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: large;">Happy Reading everyone~<span><a name='more'></a></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Chapter 39: So, He Helped Her so Much</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Even if Lin Xiyu and Lu Junting were officially divorced, Lin Xiyu had not returned to the Lu House for a long time. He was afraid that they would be embarrassed to see each other.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">There was nothing harder than a divorce than not being able to see your child every day. Lin Xiyu wanted to see the child, but she couldnât go to Lu Juntingâs place anymore, and she couldnât go to Luâs House, so her best friend came in handy.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Yuan knew that she wanted to take advantage of Lu Juntingâs business trip to bring the child out, right in the park next to Moon Bay no. 1.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu waited in the park, and after a while, she saw Lu Yuan pushing a stroller over. Lin Xiyu hurriedly ran over, and he was very happy to see his mother. He stretched out his hand to her quickly. Lin Xiyu hurriedly hugged the child, kissed his face, his forehead, and his nose.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âLittle Baby, Little Baby, mom loves you, mom misses you very much. Itâs not that mommy doesnât want you, mommy just canât take you from your daddy.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She rubbed his cheek and said over and over again that she loved him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu bought small toys that Little Baby liked. Little Baby liked the kind of toys that could move, such as toy snakes, toy caterpillars, and bamboo dragonflies.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu hugged his Little Baby and played with him in the park. Lu Yuan was nearby to protect against the wind, afraid that Lu Junting would suddenly return.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The mother and son were having fun when Lu Yuan suddenly received a phone call from the nanny and said that Mr. Lu was already on the way back. Lin Xiyu and Lu Yuan were startled, and Lin Xiyu reluctantly kissed his son on the face several times before putting him on the stroller. Lu Yuan hurriedly pushed the stroller back through the back door.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">When Lu Junting came back, he didnât see Chengmao and asked. Lu Yuan hurriedly came back from the backyard and said to him, âIs big brother back? I saw that the weather is nice today, so I took Chengmao out to play.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">When Lu Junting saw her, his face sank and asked, âWhy are you here?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Yuan giggled and said, âItâs been a while since Iâve seen my little nephew, I miss him.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting didnât ask anymore, he walked over and picked up Little Baby, but as soon as he hugged him, he saw a bamboo dragonfly fall from Little Baby. Little Baby hurriedly stretched out his hand and said anxiously, âMommy, mommy.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Yuanâs heart thumped at once, she looked towards Lu Junting. His expression didnât change much, he picked up the bamboo dragonfly and handed it to the little guy, asking him, âYou mommy gave it to you?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The little guy took the bamboo dragonfly and shook it happily, giggling, âMommy, mommy.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Yuan was almost scared to death, she was afraid that Lu Junting would ask her, but to her surprise, Lu Junting didnât say anything, and went upstairs with the child.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Yuan was completely relieved, she felt that her legs went weak with fear and hurriedly sat down on the sofa holding onto the wall to catch her breath.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Later, when Lu Yuan told Lin Xiyu about this, LIn Xiyu was also frightened at first, but she couldnât help but be surprised to hear that Lu Yuan said that Lu Junting did not pursue it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although Lu Junting did not mention in the agreement that she could not see her child, he had told her before that she should never see the child if he agreed to a divorce. Even she found it unbelievable that he just turned a blind yee, knowing that she had gone to see the child.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">However, Lu Junting watched over Little Baby very closely, and basically brought the child with him to work every day. The other half of his office had been modified to make a small playground, which contained a lot of inflatable childrenâs toys facilities, and Little Baby could play on it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Only when Lu Junting went on a business trip, Lu Yuan could help her bring Little Baby out to meet her, but Lin Xiyu felt that Lu Junting should know that she was secretly seeing Little Baby, but didnât say much.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Shortly after Lin Xiyu and Lu Junting divorced, Lin Xiqian received a call from the USA side, there was an urgent matter there, telling him to go back. Lin Xiqian came to Lin Xiyu before leaving.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âIâll go back to the USA next week. Youâll come with me then.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu refused without thinking, âI donât want to go over there.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âYou divorced Lu Junting, what are you still doing here?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âI like this place, I like the culture here, and it has nothing to do with whether Lu Junting and I are divorced.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âYouâve never been to the USA, how do you know you donât like the culture there? Iâm not very relieved that you stay here alone. Come with me and I can take care of you.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu said, âI really donât want to go, my child is still here, I donât want to go so far away.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiqian saw that he couldnât persuade her. He sighed softly and said, âItâs okay, if you donât want to go, I wonât force you. However, you have to tell me about your situation often on video and tell me if you encounter anything.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu smiled and said, âOkay, I know.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The day Lin Xiqian left, Lin Xiyu went to the airport to see him off, and the two waved goodbye at the security checkpoint. She suddenly thought of the first time Lin Xiqian went to the USA, her parents were there, and the little boy was sitting in a wheelchair wearing an oxygen mask, looking weak and reluctant to wave to them.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Now he had grown tall and straight, no longer the frail boy he had been.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu felt that fate was really complex and changeable, making it unpredictable.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The days passed without waves, but the work was much busier than before, because Du Ruoting was married and was prepared for the birth of a child. Du Xingguo was too old to manage so many things, and most of the work of the club fell on Lin Xiyuâs shoulders. Du Ruotingâs wedding Lin Xiyu also participated, the other party was a tall and handsome young man, his family was engaged in textile business, and he was also a dignified figure in Ancheng. It was said that the two have known each other since childhood, they were childhood sweethearts, all the way from the school to wedding dress, which was truly enviable.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Now the person in charge of the club was Lin Xiyu alone, many important things needed Lin Xiyu to make decisions, and some outings had to be taken care of by Lin Xiyu.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In the first week of summer, Lin Xiyu was invited to Japan to participate in an event, a cultural exchange meeting, and she was invited because she was the inheritor of Linâs calligraphy.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Each person would bring a piece of their own work, and they would take turns to introduce their work on stage, and they could communicate independently after the meeting. The cultural event was held in a cultural palace in Wakkanai City, Hokkaido, and after the event, Lin Xiyu came out of the cultural palace.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was already summer, the wind in Hokkaido was still cool. A gust of wind blew her and she tightened her clothes, and a person suddenly walked out from the tunnel next to her to stop her. Lin Xiyu looked at the people with a puzzled look.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was a tall and thin man who bowed to her a standard 45 degree and said in a not very fluent Chinese, âHello Miss Lin, Iâm Mr. Fujiwaraâs housekeeper, and I was entrusted by Mr. Fujiwara invited Miss Lin to the house for tea.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âMr. Fujiwara?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The man continued, âMr. Fujiwara is a friend of Mr. Lin. The two had close contact before Mr. Linâs passed away.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu remembered that her father, Lin Daguo, did have a japanese friend, and many of her fatherâs works were collected by that friend, and even the letter that her father wrote to her was said to be sold to that Japanese friend.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âI wonder if Miss Lin is willing?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu came back to her senses, her fatherâs friendâs invitation; She naturally couldnât afford to shrug it off. She smiled and said, âIâd be happy to.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu followed the butler to the Fujiwaraâs house and met that Mr. Fujiwara. Mr. Fujiwara was in his fifties, his face didnât look old, but his hair was already white.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Mr. Fujiwara didnât speak much Chinese, and his butler, who followed him around, translated for him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âI heard that you came here as the inheritor of the Lin Family calligraphy to participate in the event, and it just so happened that I lived here, so I asked the housekeeper to invite you to come and have a seat. Your father and I are friends, you donât need to be formal, prepare a little bit of thin tea, I hope you like it.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu hurriedly said, âMy father often mentioned you when he was around. You are his friend and my elder, Iâm honored to be invited by you.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Mr. Fujiwara was an approachable person, and Lin Xiyu was very relaxed talking to him. Both of them talked a lot about Lin Xiyuâs fatherâs life, and then about his departure and both of them were overwhelmed with emotions.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Mr. Fujiwara seemed to think of something and said, âBy the way, where is your husband? He didnât come with you?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hearing this, Lin Xiyu looked puzzled. How did Mr. Fujiwara know that she was married?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âDo you know my husband?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Mr. Fujiwara said, âI only met him once, and I remember that in early December last year, he came to my house and asked me to sell him that letter, which was the letter that your father wrote to you.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hearing this, Lin Xiyu couldnât help but be stunned for a moment. The letter written by her father to her was photographed by Lu Junting and given to her. But she didnât know that Lu Junting had even come to ask Mr. Fujiwara.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Mr. Fujiwara probably saw that something was wrong with her expression, and he asked tentatively, âYou didnât know he was here?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âI donât know.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Mr. Fujiwara smiled and said, âI like collecting very much. I also admire your father, in my opinion, although the letter does not have the essence of his calligraphy, but I like it very much. After your father sold it to me, I collected it. My collection is usually not for sale, but on that day, your husband heard that the letter was in my hand out of nowhere, and he came to me and hoped that I would sell the letter to him.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âI didnât agree at first, he wanted to buy it by force so I threw him out in a fit of anger. He had been standing in my doorway. At that time, the winter in Hokkaido was very cold, the weather in December had already started to snow, and there was also a blizzard on that day, he stood from morning to night, and then I was moved by him to agree. But because Iâm a man of honor, I didnât sell it to him directly, but to an auction house, and did he auction that letter off?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu held the tea in her hand, and did not move for a long time. Lu Junting had taken the letter and given it to her, she knew it but she didnât know that there was this past before taking the letter.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">December⌠It was probably when she first suspected that he was cheating on her, and during that time she remembered that she was very cold to him and did not share a room with him. She didnât care about him going on a business trip, but then he suddenly said that he would take her to the auction. She didnât agree at first, and then she accidentally saw him holding the child, so she agreed to go for the sake of the child.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Seeing her in a daze, Mr. Fujiwara asked curiously, âDid he take the letter?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu came back to his senses and replied, âHe took it, and now the letter is in my hand.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Mr. Fujiwara said, âThatâs good.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu sat at Mr. Fujiwaraâs house for a while and then left. She walked down the road and a gust of wind blew, scratching her face. It was already summer, and the wind in Hokkaido was chilly, let alone in December.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He actually stood in the wind and snow all day to beg Mr. Fujiwara for that letter?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She was just a person he was using, why would he do it?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu suddenly wondered if there was really any misunderstanding between her and Lu Junting, Lin Xiyu shook her head immediately. Even if there was really any misunderstanding, it was true that he lied to her, and the situation between her and Lu Junting had become a foregone conclusion, and it was useless to think more.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu occasionally met with Little Baby with Lu Yuanâs help. Little Baby would walk, he also began to speak words slowly. She didnât know whether Lu Junting was intentional or not, but he would put Little Baby in Lu's House from time to time. Lu Yuan would call her as soon as Lu Junting left. Although she divorced Lu Junting, Lin Xiyu and Little Baby met a lot of times.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">However, she and Lu Junting had not met once since their divorce, even if they were both in Luâs House, Lin Xiyu was also very self-aware to stay in the third house and not go over. Of course, Lu Junting would not come to find her.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">At first, Lin Xiyu thought that she would not have much feeling after divorcing Lu Junting, after all, there was no emotion between both of them. This man was particularly hateful, deceiving her a lot, but she did not know why, since divorcing him, she often dreamed of him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Dreaming about the little things that made up the smallest part of life. On his six-month birthday, they prepared a cake for Little Baby, after all, it was his birthday so they gave him a bite, but unexpectedly Little Baby still wanted to eat it. However, little child could not eat too much of it, so Little Baby cried with grievances because they didnât give him the cake.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting hugged him to the window and coaxed him, âDonât cry, daddy will take you to see the stars.â He pointed to the sky. âLookâŚâ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">However, looking up, the sky was dark and bare, Lu Junting coughed lightly with a slight embarrassment. âWell, there are no stars today.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She didnât know if Little Baby felt that he was tricked by his father, crying even more, but Lu Junting was still patiently coaxing him, âOkay, Daddy will give you a little ball to play with, your favorite one, the one that rattles when you pinch it?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He sat on the sofa with the child in his arms, holding the ball for him to play, and Little Baby really stopped crying as soon as he played with the ball. Lin Xiyu watched from the side, and couldnât help but cover her mouth and smile, especially when she thought that Mr. Lu was holding Little Baby to see the stars when it was clear, without stars.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She smiled happily when Lu Junting saw it as soon as he turned his head. He said with a wry smile, âQuite happy?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Nor was it that kind of reproachful tone, the soft eyes seemed to contain pampering.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">And every time she woke up at night, she looked at the quilt that was shrunk to her waist, and her mind always thought of the time she had slept with Lu Juning. Several times she woke up in a daze to see him helping her to cover up the quilt that she had kicked off.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Her habit of kicking the quilt had not changed, but there was no longer anyone around to help cover the quilt.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Even sometimes she thought of him by chance, such as seeing the balloon seller, she would think of that day when they took their Little Baby out to play, and he handed her the balloon and siad, âYouâre also a child.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">That day the sun shone brightly, the sky was blue and cloudless, and he stood under the clear blue sky. The clear weather seemed to be wrapped in softness under his sharp eyes.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In the future, she also encountered clear weather, but she always felt that it was no better than the blue sky that day.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Just like spring and autumn, on the Qingming Festival in the 2nd year of Lin Xiyu and Lu Juntingâs divorce, Lin Xiyu returned to Wucheng to his parents to sweep the grave. The sky on this day started to drizzle, the mountain was foggy, the ground was wet, moss grew, and the mountain was filled with the fragrance of tea trees. Lin Xiyu stayed alone in front of his parentsâ grave for a while, drenched in water.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Before returning to Ancheng, she made a trip to the orphanage in Wucheng. The dean was very happy to see her coming and asked her, âHow have you been doing lately?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âIâm fine, how about you dean?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âIâm fine too.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The dean took her around the orphanage, the children were playing, they were still at the age of innocence, a little bit of fun could make them happy for a long time. They didnât yet know the cruelty of the world when they grew up.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">There was an open space next to the kindergarten, and at this time there was an excavator working on the open space, which was crackling and noisy <i>ah</i>. Lin Xiyu saw this and asked, âWhat is this for?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The dean smiled and said, âItâs to build a small playground.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âThe orphanage build it?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âYes, but the money didnât come from the orphanage, it was donated by a kind gentleman.â The dean thought of something and said, âBy the way, I remember I told you last time that I have always received donations from a kind gentleman here, do you remember?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu said, âI remember, could it be that this playground was also funded by him?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âThatâs right, itâs him.â The dean sighed regretfully, âHe donated a lot of money to our orphanage. Originally I always wanted to thank him in person, but since he has been making donations anonymously, I donât even know who he is. Here is only the note he left us when he first donated, just write a few words, and he doesnât disclose any information about his identity. I donât know how to find this kind gentleman, if I know who he is one day, I must thank him. But speaking of which, this gentlemanâs writing is really good-looking.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âOh?â Lin Xiyu suddenly became curious. âCan I take a look?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu was a calligrapher, and she became interested as soon as it was said that the characters looked good.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The dean generously said, âOf course.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu followed the dean to the storage room, but saw that the dean carefully took out a box in the cabinet, opened the box with the key, and there were a lot of letters in it. He rummaged through it and handed her a very ordinary A4 paper and said, âThatâs it, you do calligraphy, you should know better than me, anyway, I think his writings are quite good-looking.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Only a few simple words were written on the paper, âGreat Love without boundaries.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu had practiced calligraphy since she was a child, she was very sensitive to fonts. Everyoneâs handwriting would be different, with their own characteristics, especially after teaching others calligraphy as a teacher in a club. Although they were all the same strokes, different people wrote them differently, and what kind of characters were written by what kind of people, she would basically look at them once and memorize them.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Therefore, seeing these words, she recognized it almost immediately, this was Lu Juntingâs word.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was still raining outside, pattering, a lingering drizzle in the twilight spring weather. The cold wind containing moisture blew in, Lin Xiyu only felt as if her body was frozen by this burst of moisture, she stared at the words for a long time without moving.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">So, the person who had been anonymously donating to the orphanage was Lu Junting?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âXixi, whatâs wrong with you?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The deanâs words pulled back Lin Xiyuâs thoughts. She returned the A4 paper to the dean, and the dean carefully put it away, and asked her, âWhat just happened to you? Why are you staring at those words in a daze?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu said, âItâs nothing, Iâm just lamenting there are still a lot of good people in this world who will give generously.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The dean laughed, âYes, itâs quite a lot.â The dean was in a good mood, coupled with his age, sometimes his speech was not so rigorous, and when they were chatting, he casually mentioned, âThis gentleman is like this, and the gentleman who helped you pay off your debt after your familyâs accident is like this as well.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu was obviously stunned when she heard the 2nd half of the deanâs words, and she hurriedly asked, âThe gentleman who helped my family pay off the debt? What do you mean? I donât quite understand.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The dean then realized that she had misspoken, and she smiled awkwardly. âItâs nothing, I remembered wrongly.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But just now Lin Xiyu obviously heard, she sensed that the dean had something to hide from her. The dean packed up the box and prepared to go out, Lin Xiyu hurriedly stopped and asked, âDean, you just said that someone paid off the debt for my family, what debt to pay? Can you make it clear?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âOh, itâs nothing, itâs just that Iâm confused and remembered it wrong.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The dean obviously wanted to muddle through, but Lin Xiyu wasnât that easy to food and she said, âAre you guys hiding something from me? Iâm grown up now, if thereâs something going on, can you make it clear to me? Otherwise, I will always remember, and my heart will always be uneasy. Dean, please tell me, okay?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyuâs life was pitiful, and the dean had pity for her, so he softened his heart when she begged him like this. He sighed heavily. âZhang Yao told me not to tell you about this.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âAunt Yao?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âYes, when your parents had an accident, they owed a lot of money to the bank. Originally the husband and wife had decided after the establishment of the orphanage at Linjiang County, didnât you were in the high school at that time? The couple originally planned to accompany you in the following days to the entrance college examination and then talk about charity when you finish high school. The money was originally owed to the bank and the couple worked hard for more than ten years to pay it off, who knew that there was a sudden car accident.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu was puzzled, âI remember didn't I sell the family's paintings and calligraphy at that time?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âWhere is that enough? Your family still owed over ten million even after selling everything of value.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âMore than ten millions?â Lin Xiyu was stunned by the number. âHow can there be so much?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The dean sighed. âWhereâs it so easy to build an orphanage <i>ah</i>? At that time, you were still young and Zhang Yao didnât tell you about this, but then a gentleman helped your family to pay off the debt. Zhang Yao didnât let me tell you.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">To be honest, Lin Xiyu was shocked by this news, she remembered that after selling the valuable things in her family, there was more than one million left, which was told to her by Aunt Yao herself, and this more than one million was enough for her to finish her college tuition and living expenses. But now the dean told her that his parents still owed more than ten million back then. Where did that extra million come from?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu felt that there was something strange about this. She hurriedly said goodbye to the dean and left directly for Ancheng. Lin Xiyu came to Luâs house, and Zhang Yao happened to be at home, she called her friends over to play mahjong. Seeing her back, she was surprised and asked, âCome back so soon? I thought youâd be in Wucheng for the rest of Qingming.â After Zhang Yao finished speaking, she noticed that her face was not very good. She got up from the mahjong table and walked to her. She asked with a worried face, âWhatâs wrong with you? Why do you look so bad?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âAunt Yao, I have something to ask you.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Zhang Yao saw that she asked seriously, she hurriedly said, âOkay, okay, okay, weâll talk slowly if thereâs something.â She finished saying goodbye to her mahjong friends and took her to her room.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As soon as she entered the room, Zhang Yao held her shoulder and said, âWhatâs wrong Xixi? Donât scare me, what happened?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu kept himself calm and said to Zhang Yao, âI went to the orphanage today, I learned from the dean that I owed a large amount of money to the bank after my parents died, and then an unknown person helped to pay the money back. Aunt Yao, tell me, is this true?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hearing this, Zhang Yaoâs eyes flickered a few times in a panic, and then waved his hand and said, âHow can this happen? Donât listen to the deanâs nonsense, he is old, old and confused. Look at you, I thought there was something wrong with it scaring me, thereâs no such thing, donât worry about it, okay? Iâm going out to play mahjong.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Zhang Yaoâs flustered look just now did not escape her eyes, Lin Xiyu hurriedly blocked her way, she said, âIâm no longer a child. Aunt Yao, you tell me what happened at the beginning, who was the person who helped me to pay off the debt back then, and you told me that there was one million left in the family after paying off the debt, what is going on with that one million?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âI said it didnât happen.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But she was clearly saying this unconfidently, and she didnât dare to look at her when she spoke.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âAunt Yao, I beg you, will you tell me? Iâm no longer a child, I have a right to know.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Zhang Yao saw Lin Xiyuâs anxious expression, she looked unbearable and finally sighed and said, âBack then, your parents suddenly had an accident, and you didnât have any relatives in your family, and I also helped you take care of your parentsâ affairs. Your parents did owe a lot of money to the bank for charity work. Your uncle Liang and I scraped together all the money we had plus sold your father's paintings and your family's real estate, but we still couldn't pay it off. You also know that although your uncle Liang belongs to the Lu family, the largest property of the Lu family is not in his hands, so he can only rely on the salary in his hand and the interest that the family gives him every year, and we really canât pay off the remaining more than 10 millions. Later, Junting suddenly came to me, he said that he respected Mr. Lin and his wife, and he could help pay off his debts, and even willing to pay your living expenses and tuition. He also gave me a million for me to falsely claim that it was the rest of the money left over from paying off the debts so that you could stay in Luâs House at ease.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu felt a sudden buzz in her brain, she was in a trance for a moment, and subconsciously took a step back.</span></div></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">----------</span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><div><span style="font-size: large;">If you like my translation, please support me by buying me a coffee:</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><span><a href="https://ko-fi.com/oyen0710">https://ko-fi.com/oyen0710</a> </span><span>or </span><a href="https://trakteer.id/oyens">https://trakteer.id/oyens</a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b style="color: #e69138;"><span><span><a href="https://www.oyensblog.com/2023/08/using-marriage-as-bait-chapter-38.html">Previous Chapter</a> |</span></span></b><b><span><span><span style="color: #cc0000;"> </span><span style="color: #e69138;"><a href="https://www.oyensblog.com/p/using-marriage-as-bait.html">Table of Content</a> </span></span></span></b><span style="color: #e69138;"><b><span><span>| </span></span></b><b><span><span><a href="https://www.oyensblog.com/2023/09/using-marriage-as-bait-chapter-40.html">Next Chapter</a></span></span></b></span></span></div></div>Oyenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02923874792286361037noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-257116854364522428.post-9634104349405459902023-08-30T10:09:00.003+07:002023-09-03T11:58:51.985+07:00The Villains All Fell in Love with Me After Rebirth : Chapter 16 - Jing Sui<div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoFEUhY6V2EWKzPTXM7UIcMAdOQXJ0--CDzsQlbROengWSgfvSMCem5D6sg4InltdGxyxiHDQQTXgtmqpYlHwnuWL12Ygdc1r7JPPQ8AsJSrOVLnUojklgEPW557QfqiXK-iYR-mIfWxd5EO5lUNzyYmetcFy5a1C_KDuEqUw8mzTg_m9YjmdpWC2WXPo/s1200/The%20Villains%20All%20Fell%20in%20Love%20with%20Me%20After%20Rebirth.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="1200" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoFEUhY6V2EWKzPTXM7UIcMAdOQXJ0--CDzsQlbROengWSgfvSMCem5D6sg4InltdGxyxiHDQQTXgtmqpYlHwnuWL12Ygdc1r7JPPQ8AsJSrOVLnUojklgEPW557QfqiXK-iYR-mIfWxd5EO5lUNzyYmetcFy5a1C_KDuEqUw8mzTg_m9YjmdpWC2WXPo/w640-h214/The%20Villains%20All%20Fell%20in%20Love%20with%20Me%20After%20Rebirth.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: large;">Happy reading~<span><a name='more'></a></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Chapter 16: Jing Sui</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling lived in Carlosâs Mansion for a few days, trying his best to do something wrong every day, making a fuss, except for the fact that he couldnât kill people, he did all the other bad things he could think of.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He used rose petals carefully cultivated in Carlosâs garden from precious seeds preserved from ancient Earth to make tea, broke several precious cloud crystal statues from the Saltu Star in the hall, and accidentally burned an entire garden during barbecue. He spent his days in Carlosâs study, sitting in Carlosâs chair reading his collection of ancient books and occasionally ordering his servants to go and fetch him delicacies from other faraway starsâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos didnât mind at all!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He never showed even a hint of displeasure, and even said that he would let the ancient botanical academicians of the Imperial Academy of Sciences to cultivate more ancient roses to make tea for his little darling. As for the broken Saltu Starâs cloud crystal, it was not worth mentioning, he was only afraid of hurting his little darlingâs hand.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">What could Ji Ling do? He was also desperate <i>ah</i>!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Moreover, these days he lived here with Carlos, every nook and cranny of this place had been checked, and there was no discovery. As for Carlos himself, he was even more tightlipped and he couldnât see anything but spoil himselfâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling took the last remaining rose and began to tear the petals down piece by pieceâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos was reborn.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos was not reborn.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos was reborn.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos was not reborn.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos was reborn.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The system remembered everything he had witnessed these days, and couldnât bear to say: [I recently played games with friends, but I was unlucky and kept losing, but itâs actually nothing to lose once or twice in this kind of thing, as long as you can win in the end.]</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling was stunned and made a muffled voice: [What exactly are you trying to convey?]</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The system saw that Ji Ling was finally willing to talk to him, and quickly said: [I want to tell you that failure is the mother of success.

Why donât you simply say it a million times? Itâs really a great way to comfort people.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling held back his anger: [So, time has passed a long time, have you figured out if they've been reborn or not?]</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">System: [Not yetâŚ]</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling interrupted him with a smile: [Then why donât you explode on the spot?]</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The system was silent for a moment, and held back a sentence: [A person of quality will not easily make personal attacks on others.]</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling: [I didnât make personal attacks on you easily.

At the moment he was respectful from the bottom of his heart. Although the outside world said that Ji Ling was a dude who did everything evil, and the teenagerâs behavior did seem to be bad, he inexplicably had a good impression of the teenager in front of him in his heart.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He never imagined that one dayâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Someone could be that fearless to face the bloody and terrifying Grand Duke Carlos head on to defend a lowly life as him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The teenager was not a gentleman, but he was a brave and kind child despite his willfulness.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Besides, with the teenagerâs noble status, what was wrong with being willful and arrogant?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling didnât know the complicated thoughts in the other partyâs heart, he didnât like to be served and said lazily, âNo need.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Then he walked alone in the direction of the garden.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In fact, he was pondering how he should say goodbye to Carlos now that he hadnât gotten anything out of this visit other than testing Carlosâs tolerance for himself.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Gradually, Ji Ling also figured it out.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Whether Carlos was reborn or not, one thing would never change. The struggle with Jing Sui was the most important thing for Carlos, it was his obsession for two lifetimes, and he himself was just an unexpected variable, which belonged to the details that had nothing to do with the overall situation.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In case Carlos was really reborn, and was guilty because of his help in his previous life, and decided to make it up to himself a bit in this life, it wasnât anything out of the ordinary, it was just a matter of seeing what happened.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Presumably, when the main plot began, he would not have time to take care of himself.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">For Ji Ling, how to match Jing Sui and Ning Yu was the most important thing.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">So⌠he had to go to the palace banquet tomorrow night.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Tomorrow night, Jing Sui would hold a banquet in the Imperial Palace. The invitees would include not only the many high-level Imperial Nobles, but also the national idol who had made great achievements in the Nado Star, Ning Yu, the Rising Star.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Inviting officers from commoner backgrounds to attend the banquet of the Imperial Family undoubtedly reflected His Majestyâs importance and equal treatment of commoners.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">According to the experience of his previous life and the plot of the original book, not Ning Yu should have truly met Jing Sui in Brandonâs home, and whether it was for the purpose of winning peopleâs hearts or because he liked it, Jing Sui would show favor to Ning Yu at the banquet. When he participated in the banquet and saw Jing Sui and Ning Yu talking together, he was âextremely jealousâ and he stepped forward to slap Ning Yu in the face, but was mercilessly slapped in the face by his beloved. Finally, he completely resented Ning u, paving the way for his next time, and also gave Jing Sui the opportunity to protect Ning Yu to enhance their relationship.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As a commoner from an ordinary background, Ning Yu was valued and wooed by many Imperial Nobles, and was able to make Jing Sui personally show favor to him, causing many people to be afraid but not dare to act rashly, which was closely related to the huge reputation he had among the commoners today.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">That was the power of idols, rightâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After all, his every move involved the situation and public opinion, and whoever wanted to do something must think twice before acting. The consequences of touching a national idol that everyone knew were completely different from touching a nameless, faceless passerby.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although Ning Yuâs identity had pushed him into the limelight, becoming an important pawn in the game of all parties, it was also the greatest protection for him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Only the original owner of his body, a fool with a love brain, would go up to find trouble with Ning Yu because of a little thing. His miserable end was inevitable, and he was really a cannon fodder from wherever he was viewed.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling thought of this and kicked the stone at his feet, sighed quietly. He would wait for Carlos to come back later to say goodbye to him. Since he couldnât understand his purpose, the big deal was to hide farther away from him in the future.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He wouldnât give up because of a little accident!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">........................</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos came back from outside, and at a glance he saw a teenager sitting on a stone bench with his chin propped up in a daze, and couldnât help but see a soft color in his eyes.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">These days, the teenager stayed here and at any time he could see his vivid expression, his open eyes, his wanton smile.. The teenagerâs kindness was simply hard to hide, even if he arrogantly messed around, he had never hurt anyone, and this time Carlos saw it even more clearly.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The teenager is like a blazing star, warming his cold heart with every move.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The closer you get, the more you will be drawn in a littleâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In his previous life, how could he bear to hurt him like that?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The pain in Carlosâs eyes flickered as he walked over to Ji Ling, revealing a gentle and warm expression. He smiled and said in a low voice, âWhat are you thinking?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling didnât notice that Carlos was back just now because of his distraction, to say that the only gain the past few days was that he knew how he would not provoke Carlos. Carlosâs tolerance for him was much higher than he imagined, and gradually he was not so afraid, and his courage was also a little more open.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thinking about what was on his mind, Ji Lingâs lips moved slightly, âUncle Carlos.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlosâs eyes softened, and he signaled him to say whatever he had to say.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling paused, looked at him and said seriously, âIâve been living here for a few days now and I want to go home.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos did not have a strong reaction, as if everything was in his expectation. He raised his hand and touched Ji Lingâs head, and asked softly, âWhy? Are you unhappy staying here?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling was a little uncomfortable, why did Carlos always like to do such intimate acts recently? He doesnât even want to be touched on the head by Carlos at all, okay? Not realizing that he had lost his first kiss, Ji- Straight Man- Ling felt that Carlos, the old fox, had been acting strange recently, but he couldnât tell where.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">However, he did not think about it, but blinked his eyes and said, âNo, itâs meâŚâ His cheeks were red, his eyes showed a shy look, biting his lip as he said, âTomorrow my father will enter the palace to participate in the banquet, and I want to go along.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The excuse for resignation was ready before he came, he was going to leave here and enter the palace to meet his sweetheart!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Who knew that as soon as the words fell, he saw Carlos, who had always looked gentle and spoiled him these days, had cold eyes, and his body exuded an icy aura.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling had long been accustomed to Carlos who never seemed to be angry, and suddenly saw him showing such a terrible side, and couldnât help but be stunned, looking at Carlos in shock and uncertainty, not knowing which sentence he said was wrong.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos took a deep breath and looked at the boyâs doubtful and panicked eyes, only then realized that he had not controlled his emotions just now, which might have scared the teenager, but at the moment just now, the pain of uncontrollable jealousy in his chest wrapped around his heart like a vine, bringing up a wave of annoyance that he could barely keep from hiding. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He knew why Ji Ling wanted to enter the palace, and the answer was obvious, because it would allow him to see Jing Sui.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He invited Ji Ling to come to his house, not mentioning a word about the palace banquet, just hoping that the teenager would forget about it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Not wanting to see the teenager continued to approach the man like a moth flew into the flame.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But in the end, he still canât avoid it, his own existence and all his efforts⌠It was not enough to offset the position that Jing Sui occupied in Ji Lingâs mind, no more than a single look, a single word from Jing Sui.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He himself was nothing more than an elder he respected, and Jing Sui, was the one he truly loved with everything he had.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Even if you change, you canât change the trajectory of fate.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Itâs impossible to let Ji Ling not see him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thinking that the two were about to meet, and thinking of the teenagerâs loving gaze. He would look at the other man without reservation, and he would still be obsessed with the wrong love and not regret⌠All of this made Carlos jealous and painful.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos, who was born with everything, this was the first time heâd even tasted jealousy and unwillingness.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Approaching him so carefully and spoiling him only made the teenager less afraid of him⌠Jing Sui, on the other hand, can easily get everything heâs ever wished for.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling looked at Carlos carefully, the manâs elegant face was covered with a thin layer of frost, and the look under his eyes was as dark as a bottomless abyss, and seemed to be brewing something extremely terrible, gloomyâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He was frightened, why did Carlos suddenly change his face, could it be related to Jing Sui?!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Speaking of Jing Sui, he is his lifelong enemy <i>ah</i>. In previous life, Carlos was defeated in Jing Suiâs hand. So, right now he is really poking his scars, right? With Carlosâs proud heart, the only person who could make him change his face must be Jing Sui! It turned out that Jing Sui is the anti-scale that canât be mentioned in front of Carlos <i>ah</i>âŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The more Ji Ling thought about it, the more he felt that it was the case, suspecting once again that Carlos had been reborn and resented Jing Sui even more because of his failure in his previous life. But scared as he was, this party was something he had to go to, so he pretended to be puzzled and said, âUncle Carlos, what's wrong with you?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos slowly came back to his senses, looked into the boyâs eyes, and suppressed the pain in his heart little by little, and the dark look under his eyes surged and disappeared, and finally there was only the complex depth that could not be seen through.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">For a long time, it seemed as if he had finally made some kind of decision.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He spoke slowly, âIf itâs just this matter, you donât have to make a special trip back.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling looked at him suspiciously.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span>Carlosâs thin lips were slightly raised, looked deeply at Ji Ling and said, âI can take you there as well.</span><span>â</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">........................</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Because Carlos personally promised to bring himself to the banquet, Ji Ling really had no excuse to insist on leaving, so he had to stay at Carlosâs home and pray that tomorrow would go well.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The next day, Ji Ling just got up, rubbed his eyes and sat up from the bed, and saw the servants respectfully send in the prepared clothes, and when he was about to help Ji Ling change his clothes, Carlos walked in and said lightly, âYou guys go out, Iâll do it.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling: â...â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He looked at the servants who disappeared in a flash, and hated that he couldnât reach his hand to hold them! But in the end, reason prevailed over impulse, innocently looking at Carlos with his eyes open and said nothing.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos looked at the dazed and surprised look in the teenagerâs eyes, and the emotions of love and jealousy in his heart were intertwined, hiding the complex emotions under his eyes. He picked up his clothes and walked to Ji Lingâs side, said in a gentle voice, âThis is what I chose specifically for you, and it should suit you very well.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling looked at the well-dressed villain who was ready to help him change his clothes timidly. After a long time of hesitation and struggle, he finally chose to follow his heart.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Behaving well, he opened his arms and changed into the clothes Carlos was holding.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos lowered his eyes slightly, his slender fingers pinched the delicate gemstone buttons, one by one to help Ji Ling to fasten them, reaching out to smooth out the folds of his shoulders, his gaze slowly moved downward, landing on the teenagerâs fair and beautiful neck. From this angle, you could see the hidden collarbones, beautiful and fragile⌠Carlos paused slightly, buttoned the last button before releasing his hand and taking a step back.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Looking at the teenager in front of him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The teenager was wearing a little white tuxedo with gold trim, dark blue gemstone buttons lining his blue eyes, a slim cut that wrapped his slender body and his short blond hair combed softly to the side, perfect and noble⌠It was like a little prince coming out of the painting.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">And like a pure and flawless angle, standing defenseless before him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlosâs Adamâs apple shrugged for a moment. A moment later, he bent down and stretched out his hand to Ji Ling, staring at him with an elegant and deep gaze, and his thin lips opened slightly, âItâs time for us to go.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling hesitated for a moment, but still put his hand into Carlosâs hand, and was led out by him in a trance.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Not long after, the hover car stopped at the gate of the palace.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Imperial Palace was the highest symbol of power in the entire Empire. Despite the fact that after many years of development, the Empire had a fairly complete political system, with a military ministry and a parliament and so on to check and balance the power of the Imperial Family. The Emperor was still recognized by everyone as the supreme ruler of the Empire. However, in fact, every Emperorâs power was inseparable from his own strength as well.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A powerful Emperor would have more rights to speak, while a weak Emperor would have the power that belonged to him divided mercilessly among the nobles.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although Jing Sui had been on the throne for less than ten years, there was no doubt that he was a powerful Emperor. Not only did he possess the super strength of an SSS-level evolutionary, but at the same time, his cold and decisive skills had allowed him to stand firm amongst the many tiger-eyed nobles and posed a great threat to Carlos after uniting with Brandon.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He wanted to break the thousand-year-old status quo of the Empire and changed the relationship between nobles and commoners.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This was not destined to be an easy thing, it required not only ability, but also great courage, and Jing Sui happened to have both. He was the existence of the most powerful protagonist aura in this book <i>ah</i>!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling looked up at the gate of the palace that was almost towering into the sky, remembering todayâs plot and what would happen next. He settled his mind and stepped inside.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">All kinds of celebrities and nobles were passing by around them, and when they saw Carlos and Ji Ling, who was following him, they all saluted respectfully and greeted him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling was well-behaved on the surface, but his eyes turned slightly. He had to find an opportunity to leave Carlos and act alone, after all, Carlos was too eye-catching for his own mission. And with Carlos around⌠Ning Yu would be only passively beaten, how else could he complete todayâs portion of âbeing slapped in the faceâ plot?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos must be thrown away!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Given that Carlos looked closely at him during this time, Ji Ling was a little worried, but it didnât take long for him to finally wait for the right opportunity. Lieutenant General Hawke and several other well-dressed nobles greeted Carlos.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling took the opportunity to speak and said, âUncle Carlos, you go ahead and get busy first, Iâll just go in by myself.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He thought that Carlos would not agree, and even when he was about to take out his father as an excuse, he saw Carlos show him a gentle smile and said, âOkay.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling was stunned. How could Carlos suddenly agree so fastâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But he didnât think much about it, he could finally get rid of Carlos! So he was surprised and then left. By now Jing Sui should have met up with Ning Yu, right?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos didnât move, his hand holding the cane tightened, looking at the back of Ji Ling as he hurriedly left. His eyes narrowed slightly, and a dark cold color flashing through his pupils.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Go ahead.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Go and see with your own eyes how cold and heartless is the one you love so much.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Then you will eventually come back to me.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">........................</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling followed his memory to the palace, passed through the gorgeous garden corridors, passed the beautiful pool fountain, and finally made it to a shade where he met the tall black-haired man with golden eyes in the shade of a tree.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He hurriedly and quietly hid behind a large tree and took a deep breath to fix his eyes on it again.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The man had a handsome face like a god, his long black hair draped behind him, under his straight eyebrows, his golden pupils were glowing with a cool light, so sharp that people did not dare to look directly at him. His lips were pale and thin, he had a high and straight nose, even if he stood there motionless, he still had a noble and compelling presence, which made it impossible for anyone to ignore.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He was the male lead of this book, the supreme ruler of the Empire todayââ Emperor Jing Sui!</span></div></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">----------</span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><div><span style="font-size: large;">If you like my translation, please support me by buying me a coffee:</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><span><a href="https://ko-fi.com/oyen0710">https://ko-fi.com/oyen0710</a> </span><span>or </span><a href="https://trakteer.id/oyens">https://trakteer.id/oyens</a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800180;"><b><span><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.oyensblog.com/2023/08/VALIR-ch-15.html">Previous Chapter</a> |</span></span></b><b><span><span style="font-size: large;"><span> </span><span><a href="https://www.oyensblog.com/p/villains-all-fell-in-love-with-me-after.html">Table of Content</a> </span></span></span></b><span><b><span><span style="font-size: large;">| </span></span></b><b><span><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.oyensblog.com/2023/09/VALIR-ch-17.html">Next Chapter</a></span></span></b></span></span></div></div>Oyenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02923874792286361037noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-257116854364522428.post-28253950604799496172023-08-28T09:50:00.002+07:002023-08-30T10:08:58.240+07:00The Villains All Fell in Love with Me After Rebirth : Chapter 15 - A Kiss<div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT8XfNeD8HFgYDsM-zx2HkPP8ADU6kZ5BATF7tXqJuJHKULN2QR6Ogz7zHxESWhUoqyIofp5MvuPXLhuTOIOPBwgqO9fV3BLWT_37wMppwZOnTdkuS-utY_JJfUa7N7bbQsrQAp1HsDBXV0AW48j6B-KwOfkhZdSDvqMUZf4Qdq3FNKCJEXcdFm3K6ctQ/s1200/The%20Villains%20All%20Fell%20in%20Love%20with%20Me%20After%20Rebirth.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="1200" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT8XfNeD8HFgYDsM-zx2HkPP8ADU6kZ5BATF7tXqJuJHKULN2QR6Ogz7zHxESWhUoqyIofp5MvuPXLhuTOIOPBwgqO9fV3BLWT_37wMppwZOnTdkuS-utY_JJfUa7N7bbQsrQAp1HsDBXV0AW48j6B-KwOfkhZdSDvqMUZf4Qdq3FNKCJEXcdFm3K6ctQ/w640-h214/The%20Villains%20All%20Fell%20in%20Love%20with%20Me%20After%20Rebirth.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: large;">New chapter~~<span><a name='more'></a></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Chapter 15: A Kiss</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In the huge center of the imperial city, in addition to the majestic Imperial Palace, Duke Carlosâs mansion occupied the most expansive area.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was said that Grand Duke Carlosâs family was one of the longest inherited nobles in the empire. The earliest could be traced back to the distant era of the Earth. The familyâs hereditary wealth could hardly be measured by numbers, and the heritage was extremely rich. In the hand of Carlos, all of this not only did not decline but went to a higher level, its power and wealth made countless Imperial Nobles difficult to match, and was worthy of the top wealth.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This was also the key to Carlos being able to fight Jing Sui for a whole book, he was indeed too powerful!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">However, Grand Duke Ji Ting did not belong to Carlosâs faction, and he was not willing to participate in the struggle between Carlos and Jing Sui, so Ji Ling and Carlos did not have much interaction. So, Ji Ling had never been to this Duke Mansion in his previous life.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although he called him Uncle Carlos, it was probably equivalent to an ordinary familiar elder.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling curiously looked at the spectacular Duke Mansionâs gate in front of him, and settled himself to step down from the car.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Since Carlos dared to invite him openly, he naturally wouldnât take his life and would definitely send him back intact, which was the real reason why Ji Ling dared to accept the invitation.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">I wonât die anyway, whatâs there to be afraid of?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The butler Anderson respectfully welcomed Ji Ling in. He had long been instructed by His Excellency the Duke to take good care of Ji Ling, treat him as if he was the master of this place, and not to make him feel the slightest bit unhappy.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was the first time that His Excellency the Duke valued a person like this, and although Anderson was puzzled in his heart, not understanding what there was about a famous Emperor Star dandy like Ji Ling that warranted His Excellency the Duke's such solemn treatment, he still strictly carried out the order.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Anderson took Ji Ling to the building where His Excellency the Duke lived daily, and said respectfully, âYour Excellency the Duke has something to do for the time being, you can rest here and wait.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling looked at the lush and exquisite garden in front of him, surrounded by various rare plants and flowers, and deep in the boulevard was a retro three-story European-style building, which inexplicably had a thick sense of historical precipitation.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Compared with the steel jungle full of sci-fi sense of the interstellar era outside, coming here made people suddenly feel like they had traveled back through time.</span></div><i><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>*Sigh*</i>, I didnât expect Carlos to be such a nostalgic person <i>ah</i>.</span></div></i><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling nodded and said, âOkay.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Anderson ordered the maids and servants at home to prepare exquisite refreshments for Ji Ling, and ordered everyone to serve Ji Ling well, before turning and leaving.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling walked around here, sniffing the fragrance of the flowers, and looked up at the blue sky. What great scenery <i>ah</i>.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He was admiring the place, unaware that others were admiring him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The servants of the Dukeâs Mansion were curious to see the beautiful boy who looked like an elf walking among the green colors. This was the famous dandy Ji Ling, the precious only son of Grand Duke Ji Ting, the legend said that he was very arrogant and domineering⌠It turns out that he looks like this, it looks like these years are so quiet when he doesnât do bad thingsâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Therefore, those who are not good-looking are not necessarily bad people, and those who look good are not necessarily good people. You canât judge a book by its cover <i>ah</i>!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">And no one expected His Excellency the Duke to like and favor him so much that he even let him come over here.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">You must know that the Dukeâs Mansion was huge, with numerous areas, but this area, where Carlos lives in his daily routine, is a forbidden place.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Except for the occasional encounter with his subordinates in the study, Carlos had never let anyone else set foot here, let alone let a dandy teenager roam and walk around at will.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This was the first time that the servants had seen His Excellency the Duke entertaining guests here, and it was simply self-evident that Ji Ling was special, so everyone was extremely respectful to him, not daring to slack off in the slightest.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling did not know what those servants were thinking, he began to brainstorm how to get clues here as he walked. It was better to see if he could find something while Carlos hadnât returned yet.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">So Ji Ling turned around and went inside.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The materials used in this building were not the usual metals, but mainly rare stone and precious wood, knowing that in the interstellar age, these materials could be far more expensive than metals.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The vast hall was surrounded by various furnishings, each of which was extremely extraordinary.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Understated luxury was evident everywhere.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling watched with admiration and smacked his lips, but he didnât come to appreciate how rich was Carlos, his purpose was to see if Carlosâs home had any clues of rebirth, so he didnât linger much in the hall. He walked up the spiral staircase, and when he came to the 2nd floor, he saw a thick, solid wooden door at the end of the corridor, and was ready to go over to take a look at it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">However, before he could get closer, he was stopped by a servant, who bent down respectfully and said, âThis is His Excellency the Dukeâs study, you canât go in.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Lingâs eyes suddenly lit up. So, he canât go in here?!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hadnât he been wandering around for half a day just to see where there was something unusual? Looking at this servantâs nervous appearance, he knew that the study usually did not allow others to enter casually, which was why he was being blocked. Study room <i>ah</i>âŚitâs usually classified and important, and the more heâs not allowed to go, the more heâll go in!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This is it!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling immediately showed a displeased expression and said coldly, âGet out of the way, how dare you block me.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The servant cried bitterly, he was really reluctant to stop Ji Ling. Ji Ling was not someone he could offend, but if he let someone enter His Excellency the Dukeâs study at will, he would be dead as well, so he begged in a low voice, âPlease understand, you really canât go in there.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âGo away.â Ji Ling kicked the servant out of the way, and without hesitation, he stepped forward and pushed the door open.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The servants fell to the ground, seeing Ji Ling strutting into the Dukeâs study, his face pale with fear, and he finally got up from the ground, turned around and rushed out anxiously. The matter was out of control and he could only tell Lord Anderson about it!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling walked in and saw the entire wall-high bookcase directly across from him. He looked around, then went straight to the wide desk in front of him. This would be Carlosâs office.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling directly observed all the things on the table carefully, then opened the drawed and rummaged through it, casually turning over the letters and papers into a mess, seemingly not caring what would happen if he was discovered.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But soon Ji Ling showed a disappointed look.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although there were some important things, such as letters exchanged between Carlos and other nobles, and the accounts of some of the estates under his name, there was nothing related to rebirth⌠But thinking about it, even if Carlos is really reborn, he probably wonât write a diary to record his journey of rebirth, right? So, if he wants to see from here, itâs not easy to see the clue.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling rummaged through Carlosâs desk to find nothing, then turned his head to the bookshelf behind him, raised his eyebrows, and moved the ladder next to him to climb up.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The system couldnât stand it anymore and said: [I suggest youâd better not do this. Have you considered the consequences of doing this?]</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling snorted, they were still in the cold war!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">And of course he considered the consequences of doing so, he didnât need to be reminded by the system. He just wanted to see how far Carlos would tolerate himself.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling frowned and showed a thoughtful look.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After being exiled in the previous life, he accidentally met Carlos, who was being hunted by Jing Sui and Brandon. He saved Carlos once out of a life-saving mentality, hiding him in his home. Carlos said something to him as he left: In return, Iâll do something for you.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">At that time, Ji Ling didnât believe Carlosâs words at all, and didnât think that he would really return the favor, so he didnât take it seriously. However, it didnât take long to learn the news that Ning Yu had been kidnapped.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This was something that did not happen in the original book, and it was also the only thing that happened in the previous lifeââ Something out of the main plot.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This should not have happened.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling was very flustered at that time. After calming down, he suddenly thought about what Carlos had said when he left that he would do one thing for him. It couldnât be to help him deal with Ning Yu, right? Was Carlos the one who kidnapped Ning Yu?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling, with the mood of a blind cat touching a dead rat, tentatively asked Carlos about this, and Carlos admitted it without hesitation!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">At that time, Ji Ling was shocked. Carlos really wanted to help him kill Ning Yu in order to repay him, but he didnât ask for it at all <i>ah</i>. Do you want to act at your own initiative? I feel like Iâve been punkedâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But soon Ji Ling realized that things might not be so simple Carlos had always done things with a clear purpose, he kidnapped Ning Yu not to help him, but to deal with Jing Sui, so not only his own purpose to get revenge on Jing Sui could be achieved, but also âby the way to repayâ him. Was it not to kill two birds in one stone?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In the face of such a turn of events, Ji Ling of course could not let Ning Yu die, so he simply made a plan out of it and asked Carlos so that he could see Ning Yu in person, pretending to vent his anger, but in reality, it was in order to create an opportunity for Ning Yu to escape.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Looking back now, maybe Carlos did that mainly to deal with Jing Sui, but actually⌠there was a very, very small part of the reason was due to repaying him?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">If Carlos was ready to kill Ning Yu for him in his previous life, then it seemed barely plausible that he advanced this act to help him kill Ning Yu in this lifeâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This idea made Ji Ling puzzled. He always felt that Carlos could not be this kind âto repay oneâs kindnessâ person, but there was really no other suitable reason to explain Carlosâs every move.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">And Carlos was a man with a deep mind without showing his anger on his face. He was not like Brandon, who was a dignified soldier, a man of honor, a person who was bright and open. He would hold up a person he looked up to the sky, and step a person he looked down into the ground. He treated his friends steadily and reliably, and treated enemies mercilessly, never bothering to hide his likes and dislikes of a person.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos, on the other hand, never put any emotion on his face, and his every move was incomprehensible.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling really couldnât figure out what kind of behavior the reborn Carlos might do.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He absentmindedly looked through Carlosâs bookshelf, flipping through it to reveal an expected look. He didnât expect that Carlos would have the habit of collecting ancient books, and his hobbies were so extensive⌠He actually saw several different versions of the Bible on the bookshelf! There were also several books with simplified Chinese characters!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling held the book and looked emotional, this feeling was probably equivalent to modern people seeing oracle scripts and hieroglyphsâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Moreover, the content of the books was also very interesting. There was a simplified Chinese character book Ji Ling just happened to understand, it was actually a treatise describing the development history of human beings after going out of the Earth, and the scriptures were written in detail. Ji Ling couldnât help but look at it, showing an expression of amazement.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The worldview of this book was way too realistic, even such minutiae were so detailed, it was almost as if it was a real world.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Fortunately, he didnât stay here for long, and he was eventually going home. But for the people who lived in this world, this world was completely real right?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">True or false, who can say so clearly?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">At this moment, slightly rapid footsteps sounded in the corridor outside.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling raised his head and saw Carlos walking over surrounded by servants. He seemed to have just received news and rushed back from outside, but his expression was still calm, and there was a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos looked up at the teenager on the ladder, who sat there with his legs swaying gently, his golden hair was soft and beautiful in the sun, his aqua blue eyes were bright, and his white fingers gently pinched the black cover book as he looked up at him. In fact⌠Before this, he was not sure that Ji Ling would accept his invitation, after all, the teenager always seemed a little restrained when facing him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Fortunately, he came anyway.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos looked gentle and smiled, âYou are here.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling sat on the ladder, looking down at Carlos from above, taking advantage of the situation, taking out the momentum that had been brewing for a long time, and raised his eyebrows in displeasure, âI donât really think you really invited me over Uncle Carlos, Iâm going home!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos immediately showed a puzzled look and frowned. âWhy do you say that? What makes you unhappy?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Lingâs voice was aggrieved and disgruntled, blinking his eyes.âI just wanted to come in to find a few books to read to kill the boredom, but your people wouldnât allow me to come in.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âThis is not allowed, thatâs not allowedâŚâ The corners of Ji Lingâs mouth pursed, and he snorted coldly. âIf I had known, I wouldnât have come over.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos was silent for a moment and said, âI know.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling stared at Carlos nervously after speaking, what do you know? Iâd rather see what you do with me for trespassing into your study! This is your confidential place!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although he suspected that Carlos had been reborn, this did not mean that he really dared to act recklessly. After all, Carlos was not the kind and upright character, he was cold, cruel and temperamental. I want to test Carlosâs attitude, but Iâm afraid that excessive force will cause serious consequences, which is similar to walking a tightropeâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Lingâs heart thumped.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Seeing Carlos turn his head to face Anderson beside him, his eyes became cold, and he slowly said, âI instructed you to treat Ji Ling as if he is the master of this place, and not to upset him in the slightest, but what did you do?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although Carlosâs tone was very calm, Anderson turned pale, cold sweat flowed down his forehead, and he bent down and said in a trembling voice, âIâm sorry, weâŚâ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He didnât know how to continue halfway through his sentence, because he really couldnât grasp His Excellency the Dukeâs true intentions; This study was indeed HIs Excellencyâs confidential and important place, and no one else was ever allowed to enter. Was His Excellency the Duke implicitly blaming him and the others for not watching Ji Ling, or was he really⌠blaming him and the others for blocking Ji Ling?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Blocking or not, it seemed that no matter what, punishment was inevitable, which made Anderson nervous.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As for the other servants behind him, they were even more fearful and trembling on the ground.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos looked at Anderson, and his voice didnât have the slightest warmth, âFor the sake of you who have been with me for many years, go and receive fifty lashes yourself, as a warning. As for themâŚâ He turned his gaze to the servants kneeling on the ground and said lightly, âPeople who canât do anything well at all like this are not needed in the Dukeâs Mansion, take them down and dispose of them.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As his words fell, the servant who knelt on the ground to block Ji Ling suddenly cried out bitterly, pleading with tears, âDuke spare our life, Duke spare our life. I know I was wrong, I wonât do it again next timeâŚâ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling looked at this scene blankly, and was frightened by the servantâs sudden crying and fell directly from the ladder. He closed his eyes and let out an exclamation, but did not feel pain, he fell into a warm embrace, a pair of strong arms steadily caught him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Opening his eyes, he met Carlosâs elegant and abstruse face.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos held the teenager, looked at his blank, confused eyes with love and compassion, and softly said, âBe careful.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The manâs face was so close to him, Ji Ling could clearly see the worry expression of the other party, and he did not fake it, which made Ji Ling gall into some kind of confusion, as if the man in front of him was really so gentle and harmless, not matter what he did, this person would not get angry⌠He subconsciously reached out, touched a handful of Carlosâs hair, and gently tugged at his brown hair, the texture was slightly harder than his own hairâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Then his hand froze in mid-air, shit⌠What kind of evil had he just gotten himself to, that he had touched Carlosâs head!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Was this someone who could be touched on his head? Absolutely not <i>ah</i>!!!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But something that made Ji Ling even more frightened happenedâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos was still not angry, but instead, the look in his eyes was gentler, hidden with some kind of complex emotions that Ji Ling couldnât understand. He hooked his lips to let out a low magnetic voice, âAny door here is always open to you, and if anyone dares to stop you next time, you can just tell me <i>oh</i>?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling: â...â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although such Carlos was very scary, Ji Ling had not forgotten what scared him that he fell down! Donât kill people at every turn <i>ah</i>, civilized society and harmony is the most important, letâs have a good talk can we?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling struggled for a while, jumped down from Carlosâs arms with a stern face and huffed, âUncle Carlos, itâs not right for you to do this.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Instead of being offended, Carlos followed Ji Lingâs words and asked, âWhat did I do wrong?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling held his head high, opened his eyes wide, and said imposingly, âThey dare to stop me, it must be because others are not allowed to come in here, they are afraid of being punished if they didnât stop me <i>ah</i>. You didnât tell them beforehand that I was allowed to come in, and now youâre blaming them for not doing things well, isnât it you whoâs wrong?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">You can figure it out, Iâm targeting you! Itâs not about your servants, okay!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Come at me if you can, what kind of man is it to take a servantâs back!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling was simply driven crazy by this villain who didnât play cards according to the routine and wanted peopleâs lives at every turn!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos looked at the teenager in front of him who seemed to be a little furious, and after a long time, a chuckle came out of his lips. He seemed to be in a very happy mood, like coaxing an angry child, and said in a good manner, âYouâre right, I did something wrong and I canât blame it on anyone else.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief and grunted as he turned his face away.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">If he got someone else killed because of himself, he wouldnât forgive himself. It seemed that he would pay more attention next timeâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos looked at the arrogant and awkward appearance of the teenager in front of him, he was unable to stop the gentle love and compassion at the bottom of his heart. What a good and kind boy, even willing to defend this lowly servantâs life. He looked arrogant, but in fact, he was more sensible and kind than anyone, and he had his own bottom line and persistence.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He was the most beautiful treasure he could ever meet in his life.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlosâs eyes were deeply attached to him, he took the boyâs hand, lowered his eyes and said in a warm voice, âTossing for a long time, are you hungry?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling thought about it, but still nodded.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos smiled and said, âThen go eat, it should be ready.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Saying that, he took Ji Ling to the dining room.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The long dining table was already filled with all kinds of exquisite food, and the transparent cutlery carved with precious stones emitted a brilliant light under the soft light, which was very luxurious!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos personally pulled out the chair for Ji Ling, smiled and watched him sit down, and then sat down next to Ji Ling.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling quietly glanced at Carlos, although he was still shocked in his heart, he wasnât going to mess with his stomach, and he would have the strength to continue fighting until he had eaten and drank enough!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thinking of this, he immediately turned his grief and anger into motivation and ate happily.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos slowly took a sip of the red wine in the glass, but his gaze always fell on the side face of the teenager, and the dark look under his eyes slowly deepened.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The teenager looked like he was having a hard time with the food, and his puffed up cheeks were very cute, like a little hamster hoarding food. No one robbed him⌠He seemed to be in a hurry, accidentally choked, and suddenly coughed violently. The corners of his eyes glistened with crystallized teardrops.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos reached out and gently patted his back, picked up the water cup and brought it to his mouth, and gently wiped the corner of the boyâs lips with his thumb, the soft touch⌠It made him almost impossible to restrain himself.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">With the boy in front of him at hand, how could he get him to accept me willingly?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">For Carlos, this was probably a bigger headache than how to kill Jing Sui. After all, killing a person was much simpler than to make someone like him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Especially, when the person still had someone at his heart.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos suppressed the thought in his heart, watching that the teenager had finally eaten almost enough, before asking gently, âFull?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling burped, feeling that it was really damaging to his image, and his face couldnât help but blush slightly as he nodded, âIâm full.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Saying that, he looked at Carlos again, looking puzzled. He hadnât eaten anything all night, most of the time he was looking at himself. Was it possible to look at him and get full?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">And the look in Carlosâs eyes, which didnât seem to have any problems, inexplicably gave people a creepy feeling, as if he was prey being watchedâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling still had a keen sense of self-preservation, and he stood up and said to Carlos, âIâm sleepy and want to rest.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The corner of Carlosâs thin lips hooked and he let out a low chuckle. âOkay.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He got up and personally took Ji Ling to his room, this room seemed to be specially organized. Carlos smiled and said, âThe guest room is usually rarely occupied so it was temporarily cleaned. Itâs a bit simple, so donât mind it.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In fact, it was not that no one came to live, but that no guest room was prepared here for any other person except Carlosâs own bedroom. This room was originally a sunroom, just next to Carlosâs bedroom, which he had organized overnight, and it didnât look simple at all, it was very luxurious, warm and cozy.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling didnât know that, he just wanted to avoid Carlos earlier. Although he came to test Carlos, he had to take it slowly, so he said, âThen, Iâll rest first.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos smiled and closed the door for Ji Ling after going out.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Seeing that the door was closed, Ji Ling immediately walked over gently, carefully checked the door lock, and made sure that there was no problem, before he exhaled heavily!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">So tired today!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Just now, he always felt that Carlosâs look on his eyes seemed to be a little wrong, so he had always been worried, but Carlos did not have any abnormal behavior from beginning to end. It seemed that he thought too muchâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Unfortunately, he didnât get any useful information today. Ji Ling had originally intended to ask the system for its opinion, but once he thought that he and the system were still in a cold war, he held it back.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He laid down on the bed, sniffed the relaxing aroma, and soon fell asleep from exhaustion.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">On a quiet night, there was only the sound of rustling leaves outside the window.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A soft âclickâ sound flashed away, did not startle the slightest night wave. The door slowly opened to both sides, a pair of black leather shoes stepped on the thick soft carpet, quiet without making any sound.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The tall man stood with a backlight, standing at the door for a moment, and then he walked slowly to the bed step by step.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos gazed down at the teenager on the bed.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The teenager slept heavily, his soft blond hair spread across the pillow and a strand fell on his forehead. The moonlight fell on his face, outlining the contours of his beautiful and flamboyant side profile, just like his wanton freedom. Although his eyes were closed, he could imagine how dazzling those clear blue eyes were when he opened them.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">For a long time, Carlos bent down and stretched out his hand, gently helping the teenager sort out the short hair that was a little messy when he slept.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">His fingertips skimmed over the boyâs fair forehead, eyelashes, nose, chin⌠and finally fell on the soft lips.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlosâs eyes were surging, and the desire that had always been hidden deeply in his heart was not unconcealed in his eyes, blatant and clear.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The teenager was right in front of his eyes.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">If in his previous life, he was only vaguely guilty and remorseful towards Ji Ling⌠In this life he was pretty sure he wanted him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Getting his body, heart, his everything, and made him completely belong to himself.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Because by getting a little bit closer to you and getting to know you a little bit better each time, I realize that I love you a little bit more than I thought I didâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">You are so dazzling and beautiful, and at the same time have the gentlest and kindest heart in the world, your kindness⌠can melt this hard and cold heart of mine, you are the only one who makes me feel that I wonât be lonely with someone by my side.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos slowly leaned over, lowered his head and solemnly kissed those longed-for lips.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The freshness and sweetness of it was beyond his imagination, and like a great whirlpool from which he could not withdraw, it swept his whole being into it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He put one hand on the side of the teenagerâs neck and could help but aggravate the kiss. His eyes revealed a falcon-like sharp gaze, mixed with a dark color of crazy paranoia, greed and his longing like a hurricane sweeping over his sanity.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">No one can take you away from me.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Neither can that person.</span></div></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">----------</span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><div><span style="font-size: large;">If you like my translation, please support me by buying me a coffee:</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><span><a href="https://ko-fi.com/oyen0710">https://ko-fi.com/oyen0710</a> </span><span>or </span><a href="https://trakteer.id/oyens">https://trakteer.id/oyens</a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800180;"><b><span><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.oyensblog.com/2023/08/VALIR-ch-14.html">Previous Chapter</a> |</span></span></b><b><span><span style="font-size: large;"><span> </span><span><a href="https://www.oyensblog.com/p/villains-all-fell-in-love-with-me-after.html">Table of Content</a> </span></span></span></b><span><b><span><span style="font-size: large;">| </span></span></b><b><span><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.oyensblog.com/2023/08/VALIR-ch-16.html">Next Chapter</a></span></span></b></span></span></div></div>Oyenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02923874792286361037noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-257116854364522428.post-14406904800748184202023-08-23T15:29:00.003+07:002023-08-31T12:27:04.882+07:00Using Marriage as Bait : Chapter 38<div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifDO7szYEVeCps0Qy-CA2DOCpDQJdtXud8zFigj6Bvd0y19i2Iij1FiQ8lcCuc23sG_Kxt_gEdxVmazQ8DnQ84m0Kt1qfT6eThXpPVPbw-zbSC4AujKrLADwvEHZPZgjSDkQK-UDjzFvUN3E5MlLe1ansAZTgpgYXOv2vPpn-LU1xJBSVWVJPdu_wpXlM/s1200/using%20marriage%20as%20bait1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="1200" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifDO7szYEVeCps0Qy-CA2DOCpDQJdtXud8zFigj6Bvd0y19i2Iij1FiQ8lcCuc23sG_Kxt_gEdxVmazQ8DnQ84m0Kt1qfT6eThXpPVPbw-zbSC4AujKrLADwvEHZPZgjSDkQK-UDjzFvUN3E5MlLe1ansAZTgpgYXOv2vPpn-LU1xJBSVWVJPdu_wpXlM/w640-h213/using%20marriage%20as%20bait1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>Second chapter of the week, happy reading!!<span><a name='more'></a></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Chapter 38: Xixi, I Love You, Donât Leave Me</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">There was a warmth in the late spring air, and he suddenly hugged her. For a moment, she couldnât tell if the sudden warmth on the tip of her nose was his or the air.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He wrapped his arms around her, his broad chest pressed against her back, and he rested his chin on her shoulder and breathed deeply. Lin Xiyu subconsciously struggled, and he immediately tightened his arms for fear of accidentally letting her escape.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âCome back with me, okay? Little baby canât live without you.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">His slightly hoarse voice rang in her ears.The tone of his voice surprised her, and it was seemingly pleading. In her impression, he had always been strong, full of confidence, speaking with an innate confidence. It was the first time she had ever heard such a weak, begging tone from him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The weather in April had begun to warm, the spring was warm, and the fragrance of flowers spread in the air. The warm breath of his body enveloped her, giving out a special smell of the flowers that permeated her nose.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âBrother Junting, letâs part without hard feelings.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After she finished speaking, she tried to break his hand away, and he stiffened for a moment before holding her tighter. He buried his face in her shoulder, and she heard his deep breathing. After a while he said, âXixi, I love you, I really love you. I canât live without you, donât leave me, okay?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">His tone was hoarse, like a person with a serious illness. Each word was spoken with great force, but each word carried a loving and deep meaning from the bottom of his heart.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He told her that he loved her, and she was shocked beyond belief. Would a man like him say love to a woman?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">At that moment, she even had a thought that he might really love her, loved her for a long time, loved her without her knowing it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">However, she immediately thought how this man was full of lies, thinking of his deep scheming, how he could play anyone for a fool, how he lied without blinking, how he had her fooled.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Her silence made his heart sink a little, as if she was telling him that she was not moved by his words at all.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He used his best strength to keep her, but she was unmoved.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He finally let go of her little by little. Lin Xiyu broke away from his arms and turned her head to look at him. Lu Juntingâs expression at this time startled Lin Xiyu not that his expression was terrible, but such an expression appeared on someone like Lu Junting, which was too out of place.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">However, she saw that his eyes were red, his brows were slightly wrinkled, his face was pale and his lips were pale and bloodless, as if he had received a huge blow, no matter how much he could restrain himself, he could not restrain the pained look from surfacing on his face.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">At this time, his expression made people feel that he was suffering some kind of pain that he could not bear, and even the strong aura he had on him became disheveled.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was as if, given one more gentle blow he would be overwhelmed and fall down.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Looking at him like this, Lin Xiyu didnât know how to react for a long time, she really didnât understand why he showed this look as if she hurt him, but it was obvious that he had been deceiving her, right?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Using her as a stand-in, tricking her into having a baby, using her, which of those things wasnât too much? But people were compassionate, not to mention, this man was the father of her child no matter what. She couldnât say heavy words to him anymore, and sighed softly as she said, âBrother Junting, we really canât continue.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After she said that, she turned and went into the room. This time he wasnât chasing after her, she looked down from the window, Lu Junting was still standing in place, slightly bowing his back, just maintaining that posture that looked like he had been struck by a violent blow. The spring weather was obviously warm, but his figure looked lonely and desolate, obviously standing in the sun, but seemingly to be standing in another parallel world, that world without sun shone in, looking around, only bleak and lonely.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She took a deep breath and pulled the curtains closed, turning her back as she adjusted her breathing, calming the discomfort slowly.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting stood until the sunset completely sunk that day before leaving. She had thought that she had already said the words like this, he should have figured it out, but she did not expect that he had been texting her the next day onwards.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was all the photos of Little Baby, who was crying. He took photos of him crying and sent them to her.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âYou see your son crying, donât you feel sorry for him, donât you care about him?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Between the lines, it seemed to be coming towards her with his pressing aura.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Little Baby accidentally got hurt and he sent her a photo of his injury.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âYou see your son is injured, wonât you come back to see him?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was like doing a battle of trapping beasts, she even wondered if Lu Junting was crazy. Why he sent her this, she was angry by looking at Little Babyâs crying and hurting look. She wanted to call over and ask what he wanted to do, but felt that asking more was futile, and then she gritted her teeth and directly blocked him. She replied to his message before blocking him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âCall me when youâve thought about divorce.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Little Baby began to cry again, and at this time he began to miss his mother, because in the past, his mother would come back at this time, but now his mother was not coming back, not seeing his mother, Little Baby was very sad.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting posted the photos of him crying, but looking at the exclamation mark next to the photo, he seemed to be stunned. She blocked him, she actually blocked him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He stared like this for a long time, then went through the messages he had sent her. She hadnât replied to any of them, no matter how much he sent photos of the child crying, or even photos of her child being hurt, she didnât reply.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">And now, she directly blocked him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">How could she be so ruthless!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">At this moment, the huge sense of powerlessness of not being able to escape his fate struck him suddenly, and he suddenly realized how different what he was doing now was from what her mother had done back then. Holding the child hostage and humbly begging the other person to come back for the childâs sake.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">So would he become more and more excessive in the future, would he become as abusive as her mother to his child?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A sense of panic struck, and almost immediately he hugged the crying child, he hugged him, rubbed his head for comfort, and said to him over and over again, âLittle Baby, stop crying.â As if to tell him, and as if to tell himself, âDaddy wonât be like that, Daddy wonât never be like that.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He still remembered that it was when he was ten years old, and his motherâs mental state was getting worse. She often beat him with a very thick rattan, pinched one of his arms so that it was bruised, and specially took photos to send to his father, who had not returned home for many years.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She was crazy and wanted to force her husband back in this way.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was the most painful period of his life, facing the torment of his most dependent relatives, he lived in fear all day as a young boy, and going home became his greatest fear at that time.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">That little girl appeared at that time, and that day, in the gorgeous and deserted room of the Lu family, her mother once again beat him with a rattan, screaming hysterically while beating.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He had long been accustomed to her madness, gritting his teeth and letting her beat without saying a word. At that time, his grandparents were in their hometown in the countryside, and the old people were fond of quietness and wanted to go back to the countryside to retire. Their family lived in the main house, and because his father did not return home for many years, he and his mother were the only ones living in the empty house.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Cold, gorgeous, empty, that was his biggest impression of the Lu house.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was midsummer, and there were cicada sounds outside the window, one after another, sharper than her motherâs voice, very lively, but still could not dispel the gloom and coldness in the house.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The door did not close tightly, he subconsciously glanced at it, and saw that a little brat poking around in the crack of the door. As soon as his eyes swept over, she immediately ran away.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">When her mother was tired and took a photo and sent it to his father, he walked out the door expressionlessly, scanned around and did not find the little brat. Finally, he saw half a poking head behind a statue not far away.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âGet out.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She timidly walked out from behind the statue, a little girl with a ponytail, revealing a small round face, a round face with a pair of clear round eyes, wearing short sleeves and shorts, revealing fleshy arms and calves.The whole person looked very soft, the kind of softness that made people want to pinch it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She waved her little fat hand and explained to him with a serious face, âI didnât mean to peek.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âNext time you peek, gouge your eyes out.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">â...â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She trembled with fright, such a little girl was so intimidated by him that she didnât cry. She still dared to come up, and pointed to the bruised scar on his exposed arm and said, âBrother, you seem to be injured.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âGo away.â He was not polite at all.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âYou are really injured. If youâre injured, you need to apply medicine.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âI tell you to go away.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Probably because his expression was too cold and his tone was too fierce, the little girlâs little round face suddenly overflowed with grievances. Her small mouth was deflated, and she was about to cry when she saw it, but she still endured it and didnât cry out, turned around and ran away with a pair of small short legs.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The young Lu Junting sat on the steps, and did not care about the injury on his body. The number of injuries was more, and he didnât feel much about the injury.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âThe cicada noise forest is more quiet, the birdsong mountain is more secludedâ, the sound of cicada made the surroundings seem quieter, and no one came to disturb him. He completely emptied himself, the wound on his body hurt, but as if he self-abused, quietly felt the pain just like this.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A trotting sound suddenly came, and he looked back to see that it was the little girl who had gone and returned.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Being disturbed, he was in a very unhappy mood, and said coldly, âDidnât I tell you to go away? Why are you here again?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The little girl walked up to him and took out an ointment from the denim shorts pants bag and said, âAunt Yao said that if you are injured, it will get better soon if you wipe this medicine. I help brother to apply the medicine, okay?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He looked at the medicine she handed over and was stunned for a moment, but his face became even colder. âWho cares about your medicine, take your medicine and get out of here.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As a teenager, he didnât know if he was tortured by his mother to become a psychopath. She was obviously a soft and cute girl, but his attitude was not good at all.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She seemed to be a little afraid of him, biting her lip and looking torn for a while, but she still stubbornly rushed at him and said, âYou really need to apply medicine on it, or else the wound will get worse in the future, and it will hurt a lot.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He felt that she was very annoying, giving a push on her. Who knew that she was even more unstable than expected, she was pushed by him and fell directly back to the ground. She frowned in pain and said to him with a grievance, âWhy are you so fierce, why push people?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He also felt that he had gone a little too far, and he didnât want to bully such a little brat. But he kept his mouth shut and said, âI told you to get lost.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She got up from the ground, casually patted the dirt on her body, snorted angrily, turned and walked to the side of the steps where he was sitting and sat down, pouting and she was getting angry there.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lush willows swayed lightly in the air, the paths were covered with lush green grass, and there were cuckoo birds weaving through the willow leaves with their crisp calls.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The backyard on a summer afternoon was hot but quiet, and the two sat on either side of the steps, with a gentle breeze blowing up the fallen leaves.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Her anger came and went quickly, her pouting mouth slowly flattened. She glanced at him a few times and then tentatively sat down next to him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âBrother, Iâll help you apply medicine, okay?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">How could there be such a nasty little child who couldnât understand words?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He was about to drive her away, but when he opened his mouth, she took advantage of his inattention to sneak a candy into his mouth, catching him without warning as a silky sweet flavor spread in his mouth.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Her crisp laughter came, and she said to him, âEat a sweet and youâll be in a better mood.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">â...â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The sudden sweetness made his head empty at once, and he forgot what he was going to say.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">And she had already lifted his sleeve, she squeezed the medicine onto his wound. He white and tender hands with flesh gently spread the medicine, and then blew on it a few times. Her soft and sticky voice gently coaxed him, âIt doesnât hurt, it doesnât hurt, it will get better soon.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A feeling he had never experienced before suddenly invaded, and the cold medicine was applied, the fiery pain seemed to ease a bit. The breath she gently blew on his wound sent a hint of coolness, and he really didnât seem to feel the pain.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Since then she had often come to him, with a bag of candy and medicine. At first she was the same as the first time, hiding in the doorway and watching timidly, watching him get beaten, sometimes she would run away if she couldnât bear to see it, but she would also wait outside, and every time he went out after beating, he could see her.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He still remembered one time, probably seeing that he was beaten too hard, this timid little girl rushed in, blocked him like a little warrior, and yelled at his crazy demon mother with a righteous face, âYou stop, donât hit him anymore.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Her mother had no sense of reason when she went crazy, and she didnât care who stood in front of her, what a small child it was. Seeing that her whip was about to fall on her, he hurriedly pushed her away and took the whip himself.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The little girl was also frightened and looked at it dumbly.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âGo.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Only after being reprimanded by him did she react and hurriedly get up and run away.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Since then, she did not dare to run over again. She waited quietly at the statue, waiting for him to come out covered in injuries, and then feeding him candy and applying medicine to him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Sometimes she would suddenly hug him and cry, crying so that her eyes and nose were red and her long eyelashes were full of tears.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âCrying for what?â He asked her. âWhy did she hit you, why did she hit you?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âWhy are there so many whys? Besides, she hit me and not you, what are you crying about?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âIt will hurt a lot, brother Junting will hurt a lot.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After she knew his name, she would always call him âBrother Junting, brother Juntingâ.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He thought she was funny, and he actually laughed. He said, âIt hurts me, itâs not like it hurts you.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âI donât want brother Junting to hurt, wuwuwu, I donât want brother Junting to get hurt.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Probably seeing that she was crying quite pitifully, he comforted. âDonât cry, Iâm not hurt.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âYou lie, it hurts when I get cut by the grass. Brother Juntingâs wound is so big, itâll hurt even more, wuwuwuwu.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She cried so sadly that he didnât know how to coax the child. He pushed her up out of his arms and took a candy from her pocket and put it in his mouth and said, âIâm really not hurt, eat one candy and Iâll be fine.â He smiled at her face full of wounds.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Her tears finally gradually stopped, she wiped her tears casually with a pair of fleshy hands, and laid on top of him again to blow on his wounds, each time whispering, âIt will get better soon, it will get better soon.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">At this time, Lu Junting, who had reached his prime, recalled this past, and he hugged his son in his arms tightly, the child with his and her flesh and blood.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She was desperate to divorce him, and she was anxious to get rid of him. When they were young, she was only three years old at that time.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She said if you were injured, you should apply medicine, otherwise the wound would become serious and it would be very painful.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But she didnât know that he was injured now, and no one came again for him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He closed his eyes, and the pain made it difficult for him to breathe.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âDaddy.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A call from his son finally brought him back to his senses, he looked down and saw the little guy staring at his face, and touched his face with his fleshy little finger. Lu Junting looked down, and saw that his white and tender fingertips were stained with wetness. Lu Junting subconsciously wiped his hand, only then did he realize that he was crying.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Little Baby didnât know what was wrong with his father, but the baby was sensitive. When he saw his father crying, he couldnât help but feel sad, and his little mouth deflated as he began to whimper and cry as well. Lu Junting hurriedly hugged him, and he comforted softly. âDonât be afraid, Little Baby, donât be afraid, daddy is fine. Little Baby donât cry, okay?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Why were you crying? He hadnât cried since he could remember, even when he was young, he hadnât shed a single tear when he was tormented by his motherâs abuse, but now, he cried because she was divorcing him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Itâs really cowardly and pitiful <i>ah</i>, damn it!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Just a week after Lin Xiyu blocked Lu Junting, she received a call from him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âCome over to Changheng this afternoon and weâll sign the divorce papers.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">With just one sentence, he hung up the phone, clean as his decisive attitude in dealing with things. Lin Xiyu didnât know if Lu Junting really wanted to divorce her, or if he was playing some tricks, but she still went to Changheng after work in the afternoon.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting asked his assistant to wait for her downstairs. His assistant knew Lin Xiyu, and when he saw her coming, he brought her directly to Lu Juntingâs office.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This was the second time Lin Xiyu came to Lu Juntingâs office. There was a big change from the last time she came, the recreational area of his office was demolished, and colorful soft cushions were laid down, Lin Xiyu remembered that Lu Yuan told her that Lu Junting would even bring his children over to work now, just for fear that the child would be snatched away if he didnât pay attention to him, but she didnât see the child when she came here today.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting sat on the sofa in the meeting room, and when he saw her come in, he just glanced at her lightly.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">There was absolutely no trace of the humble, depressed appearance when he had chased her earlier. However, this was the way Lu Junting should be, acting decisively and resolutely.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Next to Lu Junting stood a man in a suit, after she came in, the man pushed his glasses and handed her the divorce agreement in his hand and said, âMrs. Lu, you take a look first. If thereâs no problem, sign it.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu took the agreement and glanced at it, so this time he didnât play the routine, he asked her to come over really to sign the divorce agreement.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Presumably, they saw that she couldnât be used as a tool anymore, and now they had a new person to be the tool anyway, so they simply gave up on her.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">That was good, it was good for everyone.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu glanced at the agreement, and there was one that surprised her. Previously, Lu Junting asked her to sign the separation agreement for the real estate, and there was a clause in the divorce agreement. After the divorce, he would convert half of the real estate into cash to her.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">And after she read the whole agreement, it did not say that she could not see the child. She looked towards Lu Junting again, he was expressionless and she did not know what he was pondering, a business-like appearance.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu looked at it again and said, âThereâs no problem.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The lawyer said, âIf there is no problem, the two of you will sign the agreement, and after signing the agreement, it will have legal effect, and both of you will officially divorce.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The lawyer handed two pens to the two respectively, Lu Junting took it and without much hesitation, he directly signed his name in the signature column. Lin Xiyu also signed her name.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Then she took out a certificate of abandonment of real estate from her bag, she signed it, pressed her handprint and handed it to the lawyer. âI wonât take the compensation Mr. Lu gave me. This is my letter of renunciation.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The lawyer glanced at Lu Junting, and she said lightly, âLet her be.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Two clean words, without any emotion.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The lawyer took it and said it to Lin Xiyu. âMiss LIn, trouble you to leave.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thinking that there was nothing for her to do here, Lin Xiyu stood up and left directly without looking back. Quickly walking out of his office, Lin Xiyu stopped a car in front of Changheng, and it began to rain in the sky, pattering spring rain, hitting her with a lingering coldness. The scene outside the car window was blurred by the rain, as if entering a distorted world.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was very strange, she thought that divorcing Lu Junting would make her feel relaxed, but at this moment, she didnât have the slightest feeling of ease, and she couldnât tell what it was like in her heart. Probably because of this bad weather, her mood was also like the gray sky outside the window, condensing the heaviness of the rain.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting sat on the sofa, watched the door close, and then looked down at the divorce agreement signed in front of him. He slowly picked it up, slowly tore it in half from the middle, casually handed it to the lawyer next to him, and said expressionlessly, âThrow it away.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">If you want freedom, then Iâll give it to you.</span></div></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span> </span><span>----------</span></span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><div><span style="font-size: large;">If you like my translation, please support me by buying me a coffee:</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><span><a href="https://ko-fi.com/oyen0710">https://ko-fi.com/oyen0710</a> </span><span>or </span><a href="https://trakteer.id/oyens">https://trakteer.id/oyens</a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b style="color: #e69138;"><span><span><a href="https://www.oyensblog.com/2023/08/using-marriage-as-bait-chapter-37.html">Previous Chapter</a> |</span></span></b><b><span><span><span style="color: #cc0000;"> </span><span style="color: #e69138;"><a href="https://www.oyensblog.com/p/using-marriage-as-bait.html">Table of Content</a> </span></span></span></b><span style="color: #e69138;"><b><span><span>| </span></span></b><b><span><span><a href="https://www.oyensblog.com/2023/08/using-marriage-as-bait-chapter-39.html">Next Chapter</a></span></span></b></span></span></div></div>Oyenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02923874792286361037noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-257116854364522428.post-48193204276128375842023-08-21T13:35:00.003+07:002023-08-23T15:29:11.874+07:00Using Marriage as Bait : Chapter 37<div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIz_C2JJuzFq7kIPY8jnhMDrzBtGUGmqoMGK1yv9CwrTqepuXa3eqFbVgboAYN_kzoaeCluGjY-poeiH611EwjrnT4hwm1sCHJmZu-YeQv2GAETKXgV36NC5njKDhBsfh1kAr394uL3aOmhf2YfFdM5wCCyMQ7ZHcMf_LMUh58luEQ2gYEvITHwu8I7AM/s1200/using%20marriage%20as%20bait1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="1200" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIz_C2JJuzFq7kIPY8jnhMDrzBtGUGmqoMGK1yv9CwrTqepuXa3eqFbVgboAYN_kzoaeCluGjY-poeiH611EwjrnT4hwm1sCHJmZu-YeQv2GAETKXgV36NC5njKDhBsfh1kAr394uL3aOmhf2YfFdM5wCCyMQ7ZHcMf_LMUh58luEQ2gYEvITHwu8I7AM/w640-h214/using%20marriage%20as%20bait1.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: justify;">I've already translated this chapter long time ago, but forgot to post it, lol. Happy reading~<span><a name='more'></a></span></div><b>Chapter 37: He Felt Like He was Going Crazy</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Listening to Lin Xiqian tell a few jokes, Lin Xiyuâs mood slowly changed for the better. She unintentionally turned her head and saw the father and son standing outside the window.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She almost didnât recognize them at first glance, because the father and son were wearing the same shape of the duck-tongue hat. Lu Junting dressed casually today, the duck-tongue hat and his clothes also match very well, but it didnât match his temperament.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Naturally, Little Baby also saw his mother, and his little body shook with joy, jumping in his fatherâs arms and calling out, âMom, mom, mom.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu hurriedly put down her chopsticks and walked out. As soon as he saw his mother come out, he stretched out his hand to hug, half of his body leaned out of his fatherâs arms. Lin Xiyu was startled, afraid that he would fall, and hurriedly walked over to pick him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She hadnât seen him for many days, and she really missed him. SHe hugged his soft body tightly, smelling his milk scent, and rubbing his little fleshy face.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âLittle Baby, Little Baby, did you miss your mommy?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âEn, mom, en, mom.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As if to say, en, yes, missing mommy.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu only felt that the tip of her nose was sour, but she didnât want to cry in front of Little Baby. She rubbed her Little Babyâs hat crookedly, hurriedly helped him straighten, and said with a smile, âLittle Baby is wearing a new hat? Do you like it?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As if he had thought of something, he leaned out from his motherâs arms and pointed to his fatherâs hand. Lin Xiyu looked over, and Lu Junting was still holding a hat in his hand.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting handed her the hat and said, âLittle Baby picked it out.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu also saw that it was a parent-child hat. She glanced at the top of his head, and this hat did not match his temperament at all, even if he dressed casually, his temperament also gave people a sense of rigor. This hat was very hip-hop, wearing it on his head was a little funny, and she didnât know why he was willing to wear such a hat.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu didnât take it, she coaxed Little Baby and said, âMom doesnât wear it, Little Baby can wear it. The hat that Little Baby picked by himself is very good-looking!â She kissed him on the cheek and said, âMy baby has a good eye.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He giggled at her kiss and forgot to let her wear a hat.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The hand that Lu Junting handed out stopped in mid-air, as if it was frozen, and only after a while did it slowly retract.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She didnât even want to wear the hat picked by the child, because this was a parent-child hat. A parent-child hat for a family of three, he and the child wore it, just waiting for her to wear this too, so that they looked more like a family of three. She was not willing to form a family of three with him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Two gardenias were planted in front of the restaurant, and a gust of wind blew and brought a faint fragrance. This fragrance seemed to be imprinted in his memory at a moment, together with this moment made his heart slice with a knife. For a long time in the future, whenever he smelled the smell of gardenias, the pain engraved in the memory would emerge, even if nothing happened, but it still made him feel a pain in his heart.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She really didnât love him <i>ah</i>, even if she had been with him for so long, even if she gave birth to his child, she didnât love him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu teased the child for a while before asking him, âWhat are you doing here with Little Baby?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting gradually came back from that pain, and said, âThe child misses you and wants to have a meal with you.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu didnât want to eat with Lu Junting, and with this time, he would come to her in the future with the same excuse of bringing Little Baby. She just wanted to divorce him now.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âWhen I get divorced later, I will eat with him when I visit him on a normal basis.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She only said that she wanted to eat with Little Baby, but did not say that she wanted to be with him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She looked cold, deliberately keeping a sense of distance from him. He remembered before, whenever she saw him, she would be a little shy to greet him. If he kept staring at her, she would be embarrassed to lower her head. Although she was wary of him, she was never so cold, as if she didnât even want to say more to him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She was obviously so soft, but she showed him the hardest thorn, but blame him, this thorn was also picked by his own hands. However, if he didnât do that, if he didnât find a way to get her to keep the baby, then they would never have any connection again in this life.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She didnât like him, it was useless for him to do anything. If he wanted to get her, he had to take her by force, and before that he would have everything ready. A house far away that no one would know about abroad, her fake death certificate, but he still didnât do that. He didnât want her to hate him, he didnât want to get just a shell.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But after such a big circle, she still hated him. What she didnât like, after all, she didnât like it, no matter how hard he tried, she didnât like it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting went out with the nanny. Lin Xiyu hugged for a while and then handed the child to the nanny, instructing, âTake good care of him, the things outside are not clean, donât give him food.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After she finished speaking, she said to Lu Junting, âI will draw up the divorce agreement, and we will sign it when you are free.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She really just told him this word of divorce, did she want to leave him so much?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The smell of gardenia gradually became stronger, making him feel like he couldnât breathe. He had never found the smell of gardenia so offensive.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âItâs fine if you want me to sigh, but you have to promise me one condition.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âWhat condition?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âAfter a divorce, you should never see your child.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu was stunned by these words. After a short period of shock, a wave of anger quickly rushed up. She stared at Lu Junting, and her hands subconsciously tightened, âHow can you do this? Even if I get divorced, I still have visitation rights to my child.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âThis is my condition, if you want to agree on a divorce, you should not see your child. Or you will go to the court to sue for divorce, but I have not committed any mistakes, and itâs not easy for you to sue for divorce.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âThink about it yourself.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting dropped this sentence and took the child to get in the car and leave. Lin Xiyu looked at the car and walked away, and she was so angry that she wanted to curse. She felt that her former self was simply brain-dead, why did she think that Lu Junting was a good person! Why was she deceived by him like a fool?!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">How could he make such a request, how could he be such a bastard!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting looked at the little girl from the rearview mirror, even if it was far away, he could feel the anger on her body. Little Baby and his mother separated, and began to make trouble. The nanny hurriedly coaxed him, and the car was noisy, but his heart was particularly cold, so cold that it made him feel a sense of hollowness, a terrible sense of hollowness, as if he couldnât fill it all.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Why did they get to this point? Such an ugly point?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But he had no other way, the child was the only condition she could compromise, and he could only do this.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiqian came out of the restaurant to hold Lin Xiyuâs shoulder, afraid that she would accidentally fall. He asked, âWhatâs going on? What did he tell you?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu closed her eyes to calm her anger. âHe told me never to see the child. I really didnât expect him to be so excessive.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiqian said, âThe child is the only thing he can hold you, of course he wants to make good use of it. You think about it first, no need to make a decision in such a hurry. Make a decision when you think clearly about what you want.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu had been absent-minded these two days. She didnât want to give up the child, but she didnât want to compromise with Lu Junting. Every time she came home, she would always flip through the photos of her Little Baby on her mobile phone. She couldnât help but cry as she flipped through them, especially thinking that she might never see him again.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">What should she do now, if she didnât divorce, then she would always be Lu Juntingâs wife, and she couldnât get rid of the relationship with him for the rest of her life, but if she divorced, she and her child would be separated forever.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She remembered that Lin Xiqian had told her that Lu Junting was a very powerful person and knew how to hold her, but at that time she didnât think so, she felt that Lu Junting was not so bad.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But now that she had experienced this, she was passively caught in a dilemma, and she knew that she had never really understood Lu Junting. This person was far more terrifying than she realized.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting had not had a good time these two days, often distracted when working, even if he constantly forced himself to be busy, but once there was a gap in his mind, he would think of her, thinking of her coldness and her abomination.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He moved his sonâs small bed into his room, and his room was also padded with cushions for his son to crawl around. This child was the only connection between him and her, he couldnât let him have any mistakes. He even asked the nanny to bring Little Baby to the company. His company was wide, he removed some equipment, laid cushions on it, and put a protective fence around it for his son to play in.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In the evening, his son was playing with his small toys in the room, and he sat on the sofa reading documents, but he wasnât paying attention and often wandered off.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He hadnât slept well in the past few days, he always felt in a trance, always felt that she was still by his side and he could see her when he raised his eyes, but when he really looked over, there was no her.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The phone rang at this time, he swept a glance at the caller ID. As if the call would disappear if he answered a step slowly, he hurriedly pressed connect, but held his breath again before speaking.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âHello?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âItâs me.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Her familiar voice sounded over the other end.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He tried to keep his tone as calm as possible, âI know itâs you, whatâs the matter?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âI agree with you, I agree with all your conditions, as long as you can agree to divorce.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">For so many days, this was the only call she made to himââ A phone call, but he didnât expect her to call for this matter, or he never thought that she could really divorce him and never see the child. He knew how much she liked the child, in order to stay with the child, even if she didnât like him, she was willing to sleep with him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">His fingers holding the phone tightened, and a red glow spread over his eyes a little. He wanted to calm himself, wanted to restrain himself, but the words that came out were still trembling with anger, âYou hate me so much? Would you rather never see your children to divorce me?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âYou donât have to use Little Baby to coerce me, as I said, before being a Little Babyâs mother, Iâm myself first.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He was silent, or maybe he was already unable to say a word.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âI have agreed to all the conditions you want, when is the divorce?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He couldnât listen to it anymore and hung up the phone abruptly. He didnât expect her to agree, she actually agreed. She just wanted to get rid of the relationship with him? Not even wanted the child, thatâs her favorite child <i>ah</i>!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He was completely stunned, he didnât know what to do.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In his life, he was used to calculating, he calculated a lot of things, but the only thing he didnât calculate was that she would really divorce him in spite of everything.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After Lin Xiyu made that call, Lu Junting never replied to her, and when she called him, he didnât answer, so she texted him to ask him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting didnât want to answer her call, or he didnât dare. He didnât want to hear those words he didnât want to hear, but her text messages still came one by one.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âI have agreed to your conditions, why haven't we divorced yet?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âMy divorce agreement is out, when you are free I will come to you to sign it.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âWhat else do you want, I agreed to you not to see Little Baby.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting didnât reply to a single one, he went to work as usual, left work, and went home to deal with official business. He took his son with him every day.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">When he was dealing with official business, his son crawled around on the ground to play. He was not the kind of noisy child, as long as he was full of food and drink, and had a toy, he could play all day.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He kept himself busy, afraid that if he accidentally fell into that empty state, he would easily be taken into the abyss and sink in pain, which was too hard to bear.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âDad.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Just as he lowered his head to sign, he suddenly heard a sound from Little Baby. Lu Junting suspected that he had heard wrong, and he looked at his son in disbelief.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âYou⌠what did you just call?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Little Baby held an inflatable small hammer in his hand, the small hamer could smash the inflatable button. He seemed to just unconsciously call, and when asked by his father, his little face was still a little dazed.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But Lu Junting just heard it, he put down his pen and walked over, he squatted next to his son, both excited and joyful. âWhat did you just call? Call out one more time.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Little Baby stared at his father with confused eyes, and then the little hammer waved, and called again, âDad.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He called clearly, he heard him, he was really calling him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He had taught him for a long time before, but every time he saw him, he was still called âwawaâ.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âDad.â He called him so clearly that his son would call him dad.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting couldnât help but pick his son up, he rubbed his little head. The joy of being a father made him excited, he kissed his face all at once, âGood son, my good son.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Little Baby was kissed by his father, a little disgusted. The back of the fleshy hand subconsciously wiped the place where he had been kissed. Lu Junting was not angry, he was eager to share his joy with others, he took out his mobile phone to send a message to Lin Xiyu.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âDo you know? Your son just called me dad.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu stared at it for a long time after receiving this text message. She covered her mouth, and almost didnât cry out. Little Baby would say one more word, he was slowly growing up, and she could no longer witness his growth in the future.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She closed her eyes and calmed her emotions for a long time, and only then did she reply to Lu Junting.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting had been waiting after he finished sending. He waited for her there to be as excited as him, even if she hated him, but Little Baby was a child of the two people. Little Baby would call Dad, she should be happy.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âWhen exactly are you getting a divorce?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He looked at these cold words, and the joy and excitement disappeared in an instant. She no longer wanted to share the joy with him, and the only thing she wanted him to do now was divorce.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But he really, really didnât want a divorce <i>ah</i>.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu didnât expect Madam Lu to come to her so early. Madam Lu was accompanied by Lu Yuan, and the two were waiting at the door of the club.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âXixi <i>ah</i>, I heard that you and Junting are having a divorce, whatâs going on?â Old Madam Lu was full of sadness. âIs it because of Junting scandal a few days ago? I asked him to make people check it, that is, that little star was deliberately hyped. Junting has already given her a lesson.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âGrandma, there is a problem between me and brother Junting, and it has nothing to do with anyone.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âWhatâs the matter? Did Junting do something wrong to you? You tell your grandma, and she will help you get justice.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âThings between me and him canât be solved by anyone.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Old Madam Lu was originally not in good health, and she was angry when she heard that Lu Junting and Lin Xiyu were going to divorce. When she heard this, she coughed a few times, Lu Yuan helped her smooth her back, Lin Xiyu was also very guilty about this. The old elder of the Lu Family treated her very well.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âGrandma, you are not well, donât blow the cold wind here, go back first.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Old Madam Lu slowed down for a while, she held Lin Xiyuâs hand, âXixi, I donât know what is going on between you and Junting. If Junting did something sorry for you, grandma apologizes to you, I didnât teach my grandson well. Divorce is not a trivial matter, not to mention that you still have a child. Cheng Ping is still so young, if Junting is not so unforgivable, can you not divorce him for the sake of the child.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Her grandson finally got married and had a child, and she was happy for him, who knew that the happy days did not last a few days and the two wanted a divorce.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu didnât know what to say, she held Old Madam Luâs hand. After a long time, she only whispered, âSorry grandma.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Seeing her like this, Old Madam Lu knew it was not possible. She was not an unreasonable person, but she was really satisfied with this granddaughter-in-law, and felt happy with her and Lu Juntingâs marriage. She felt sorry that the two were really divorced.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Old Madam Lu sighed heavily, âForget it. You young people have your own ideas, and the words that grandma bought to persuade you have been said, and itâs you who live your life.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After Old Madam Lu finished speaking, she asked Lu Yuan to help her back to the car. Lu Yuan helped Old Madam Lu into the car and went back, she asked Lin Xiyu, âWhat is going on between you and my eldest brother? Why divorce? What about Xiao Chengmao?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu didnât want to say so much, only said, âThere are many problems between me and him.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Yuan sighed and said, âI know that you have your own reasons for making decisions. I wonât ask more if you donât say it, but you have to remember that my family will always be your natalâs family. My parents and I are also your family, and we will always be behind you to be your backing.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The sun had risen, warm light scattered on the earth, the sky was shining with golden light. Hearing Lu Yuanâs words, Lin Xiyu felt that the sun had not yet shone on her, and a warmth had been born in her heart.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She hugged Lu Yuan and said to her sincerely, âLu Yuan, thank you.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">No matter how out of character this girl was sometimes, she would always be her best friend and would not hesitate to stand up for her when she was in trouble. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The leisure area in Lu Juntingâs office was modified by him, and a piece was fenced with cushions so that Chengmao could play in it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">When he was at work, he brought Chengmao with him. Chengmao was not a crybaby, nor did he bother him. When he was dealing with business, he would occasionally glance at him, and he would see the little meatball sitting on a cushion, and the little hands of meat were clumsily assembling toys. While assembling, he talked to himself, and occasionally he had to match the expression, such as wrinkling his small brows and talking angrily. He didnât know if he blamed himself for always not assembling well.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Looking at this scene, a familiar memory in his mind suddenly crashed into his mind. He remembered that when he was a child, he also liked to play alone, a person talking to himself, not crying or making trouble, and he could play all day when having a toy.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Unexpectedly, the same was true of his son.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">There was a strong sense of sourness that suddenly struck, as if nothing had changed, as if fate had long been preordained, generation to generation. His childhood was miserable, and his childâs childhood was destined to be as miserable as his.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He had never been a person who believed in fate. Fate was just an excuse for the weak to find for themselves, he didnât believe in heaven, did not believe in ghosts and gods, only believed in himself. But now, looking at the child who was playing with toys and talking to himself, he suddenly had a huge sense of powerlessness, which stirred his heart, and a sharp pain struck him at once.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He wondered if the little one realized he was looking at him, he looked up at him and met his gaze, but the little one smiled happily at him. He knew nothing, he was innocent and happy, no sadness, he didnât understand anything. He shook the toy in his hand at him, smiling with his eyes lit up.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">That pain was melted away in such a smile, and the smile of the little kid who used to be like this. She used to smile at him like this, she helped him heal his wounds a little, she gave him a child that also smiled at him like this.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was different, everything would be different, his children would not be as miserable as he was.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting put down the things in his hand and walked over to the child. He went to him and squatted down. The child handed him the toy he had assembled. It was a very small, very small caterpillar toy, but he had assembled it wrong and put the head on the body. Lu Junting took it, rubbed his head and said, âLittle Baby is great.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The praised little one laughed even more happily, giggling, and the empty office was filled with his laughter. He didnât know what the little one suddenly thought, pointed to the toy and said, âMom.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting guessed his meaning and asked him, âDo you want to give this to your mom?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The little one nodded and said again, âMom.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After Lin Xiyu saw a familiar car parked in front of the club after work, she recognized it as Lu Juntingâs car, so Lin Xiyu didnât care. It was about ten minutes from the club to where she lived now, and Lu Juntingâs car followed behind her, not fast, keeping a certain distance, until she reached the gate of the community, the car accelerated and stopped next to her.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The car door opened, and she saw Lu Junting sitting on the back seat, and Little Baby sitting next to him in the child seat. As soon as he saw her, he called her with his little hand, âMom, mom, mom.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Almost instinctively, Lin Xiyu went around to the other side, opened the car door, and picked up Little Baby. She hugged him tightly, and sniffed his body deeply.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âGood baby, Little Baby, mommyâs baby.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Little Baby handed the toy he brought to her, Lin Xiyu was stunned when she saw this. A toy caterpillar that was assembled messily. Lin Xiyu asked him with a puzzled look, âIs it for mommy?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The little one nodded, and Lin Xiyu took the toy caterpillar and asked him, âDid Little Baby make this himself?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Little Baby didnât answer, giggled, Lin Xiyu kissed him on the head, and praised him with a smile, âLittle Baby is awesome.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lu Junting stood on the side and watched this scene. She didnât change much with the child, there was still warmth between her and the child, but when her gaze fell on him, her smiling expression gradually went cold.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She asked him, âAre you looking for me for a divorce?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As soon as she spoke to him, she asked about the divorce, was there nothing else they could talk about except divorce? His heart was pierced with a sharp pain, it took him a while before he could speak normally.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âThe child needs you, coma back with me.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu understood that he did not come to discuss divorce with her. Old Madam Lu came in the morning and in the afternoon he brought the child over. In order not to divorce her, he sent the whole family out.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But Lin Xiyu didnât understand, was this necessary?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lin Xiyu gave Little Baby a kiss on the cheek, and she put him back in his seat and helped him fasten his seat belt. She rubbed his face reluctantly.

At least until now, he had behaved in line with his personality, and even if there were a few flaws that made Carlos suspicious, there was no way he could have guessed the real truth.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Even if Carlos was sophisticated and scheming, after all, he was also a person in this world. How could he think that he was in a âTruman Show*â?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">*An insurance salesman is oblivious of the fact that his entire life is a TV show and his family members are mere actors. As he starts noticing things and uncovers the truth, he decides to escape.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This old fox, maybe just keenly aware of a trace of his leaking emotions, he wonât admit it to death!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After a while, Ji Ling blinked his eyes lightly and said in an innocent and naive voice, âHow come?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos looked at him deeply. âReally?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Lingâs eyes were extremely âsincereâ, and there seemed to contain a hint of grievance at being misunderstood. âOf course it is, how can I possibly avoid you?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlosâs lips lifted up, evoking a smile-like arc. The little one is really trying hard to hide himself, but unfortunately it is not perfect enough, he must have hidden secrets that did not want to be known by him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But as long as Ji Ling doesnât want to talk about it now, he isnât going to pursue the matter.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">And the little one is very cute when heâs pretending to hide itâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He hopes that the teenager can be more presumptuous and unscrupulous in front of him, instead of facing himself with fear and caution as the others.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Fortunately, he has enough patience to let the teenager slowly open up to him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlosâs fingertips gently brushed Ji Lingâs slightly reddened eyes, and opened his lips to let out a low, teasing laugh. âBut⌠If I donât show up today, will you remember to look for me?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling opened his mouth and was speechless.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos looked at his embarrassment, and, in the middle of the day, uttered a soft, helpless sigh. âI donât mean to blame you, Iâm just⌠worried about you.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlosâs eyes were full of anxiety and said, âWhat if I donât come here today? I donât want you to encounter the same danger as today⌠Do you understand?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling looked at him in a daze, his gaze fell into his deep brown eyes. The look contained in them was so gentle and sincere, and it was like an endless ocean, embracing everything about him to the fullest.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">His good, his bad, his willfulnessâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos never cared if he did the right thing or whether it hurt others, he just stood behind him without hesitation, shielding himself from the wind and rain, and resisting everything.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Lingâs eyes were in a trance for a moment.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although this is a bloody, cold, sinister and despicable villain with three unhealthy views, when he is willing to pretend to spoil a person unconditionally, itâs really so mesmerizing that itâs easy to unknowingly indulge, isnât itâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Unfortunately⌠Ji Ling is an honest young man with three straight views, and his brain is particularly clear right now!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">If Carlosâs words could be believed a sow could get up a tree, and how could he possibly look for Carlos to help him deal with Ning Yu now? Iâm afraid I donât want to do this mission.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling didnât care about it and said obediently, âIâm sorry, in fact, it was just an impulse, I didnât think about it at all, and I didnât expect to meet Marshal BrandonâŚâ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âYouâŚâ After a while, Carlos raised his hand and stroked Ji Lingâs head. His fingertips swept over the soft golden hair, and there was a restrained complex look in the depths of his eyes.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In order not to press too hard, he had not appeared to the teenager for several days, but he found that the separation did not reduce the thoughts in his heart in the slightest, and the desire for urgency grew stronger⌠It was the first time he had tried what it was like to care about someone.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It is also once again clear and understandable to realize the unusual feelings I have for the teenager.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Even Wen Yan, the selfish and despicable guy, could often appear by the teenagerâs side, watching over him and guarding him at all times.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But he canât.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">All this made Carlos jealous, almost unable to suppress the urge in his heart, wanting to imprison the teenager to his side in spite of everything, so that he could not leave his sight for a moment⌠Instead, you can only learn the only words that belong to a teenager through someone elseâs transmission.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlosâs arm around the teenager tightened slightly.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling looked at Carlosâs suddenly darkened eyes, as if the man in front of him was about to show his hideous fangs⌠I canât help but get nervous.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">There should be no problem with the answer he just made, right? How can you change your attitude so quickly? Why is the villain so moody? You have been pretending for so long, you must keep pretending <i>ah</i>!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling was a little nervous, and stammered, âUnâ uncle CarlosâŚâ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Just when Ji Ling was panicking, suddenly a black hover car stopped in front of the two of them. The door slowly opened, and a handsome man with long silver hair wearing white robes stepped down and came to him step by step⌠Bowing his head respectfully, he said, âYoung Master, Iâm here to take you home.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling had a look of bewilderment on his face!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Where is this coming from?!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Heâ he didnât tell Wen Yan when he came out <i>ah</i>, how did Wen Yan know that he is hereâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos turned his head to look at the silver-haired man standing respectfully on the side. His eyes narrowed slightly, and slowly covered with a layer of icy cold color⌠This guy was really getting in the way.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling was held in the villain Carlosâs arms, and in a trance, he looked at another villain, Wen Yan, who stood respectfully on the side.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He finally realized sadly that he might be being followedâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Otherwise, it would not have been possible for the two of them to appear here so coincidentally, but Ji Ling really couldnât figure out where he was worth the trouble of the two villains? He is a vicious cannon fodder at best <i>ah</i>!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But now was not the time to think about this, Ji Ling rolled his eyes and said to Carlos again, âUncle Carlos, I should go back.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After speaking, he looked at Carlos seriously to show his determination to go home!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although the sudden appearance of Wen Yan was so unclear, going home now was the best choice, so Wen Yanâs arrival was like timely rain <i>ah</i>âŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">âUncle Carlos?â Seeing that Carlos didnât let go, Ji Ling deliberately looked at him with a blank and puzzled look, and reminded him again.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos looked at the teenagerâs dazed blue eyes, so pitifulâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After a long time, he finally let go.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling immediately deftly got out of Carlosâs arms and said softly, âThen, Iâll go firstâŚâ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos watched him silently.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling did not dare to look at Carlos again, quickly walked to the side of the hovering car, Wen Yan showed him a humble smile, took his hand and helped him into the car, the action was gentle and considerate.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">At an angle that Ji Ling couldnât see, Wen Yan turned his head slightly, and his dark eyes met Carlosâs line of sight, revealing a cold and indifferent look⌠Until the car door slowly closed, blocking the view of the two.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlosâs pupil shrank, killing intent bursting from his eyes.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">They didnât say a word from beginning to end, but a mere glance that staggered away from each other seemed to bring out swords and daggers!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Very good, it seems⌠you have made your decision.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Then you should understand what price you should pay for this.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">............</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Until the car door was completely closed, Ji Ling glanced at the silver-haired man beside him who seemed to lower his head, always felt that today he was constantly jumping from one fire pit to another, and then to anotherâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">I canât jump out of it anyhow.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling sadly averted his eyes to look outside, his mind constantly meditating on the time, and finally returned to her home.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Due to physical and mental exhaustion, Ji Ling was really not in the mood to continue to deal with Wen Yan. He didnât bother to pay attention to what scheme he had, which was always not a good one. So he directly opened his mouth and said, âI donât need you to serve today, you go back first.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">However, Wen Yan did not leave obediently as usual this time, but stood there and looked at him with a complicated deep look.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling: â...?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wen Yan looked at the teenager in front of him with heartache and fear. If he had followed the teenager from the beginning, he would not have let him face Brandon and Carlos alone⌠If something really happened, he couldnât forgive himself.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A deep look of self-reproach appeared under his dark eyes, and he was silent for a moment and said to Ji Ling, âI want to confess something to you.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling almost exploded in fright when he heard this! Fuck, what are you going to confess to me? Honest that you are a white-eyed wolf with a human face and a beast heart, in fact you have been calculating me? Donât you confess anything to me ahhh! I donât want to hear it at all!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wonât it be nice for us to continue with such hypocritical peace!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Just when Ji Ling was in shock, he heard Wen Yan whisper, âSorry, I inquired about your whereabouts without your permission.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling: â...â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Not that I say it to you, brother, itâs best to speak in one breath, panting too much is easy to make people think, scared I thought you want to confess aboutâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">I know this without being told!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling said in his heart, whatâs the big deal, as long as you donât confess your true face! He put his heart back inside again, revealing a cold little expression, and said, âThis is what you want to confess?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wen Yan showed a guilty look and said, âYes, because I really care too much about you and worry about your safety. I hastily inquired about your whereabouts, and I hope you can forgive me for taking matters into my own hands.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thatâs right, itâs your usual hypocrisy! Are you afraid that I will take the initiative to mention this, right? After all, even with the original ownerâs thick lines, this matter can be figured out sooner or later, and it canât be concealed.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although Ji Ling didnât take it seriously in his heart, he still raised his chin and snorted with feigned dissatisfaction. âWhat danger can I have? Who dares to touch me on this Emperor Star? Who makes you nosy?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wen Yan bowed his head respectfully. âSorry, itâs me who was being nosy.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling thought that since he had said this, he could simply dutifully pull a bit of hatred on a daily basis, and added in a contemptuous tone, âThen what Ning Yu as an untouchable dares to look down on me. If it wasnât for Marshal Brandon suddenly appearing today, I would have made sure this untouchable knew what would happen if he offended me!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wen Yan looked at the young manâs stubborn mouth and refused to admit defeat, but his heart gradually flooded with tender and loving emotions.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He clearly remembered that something similar had happened in his previous life.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But in fact, the teenager didnât have any malicious intent at all, right? He just couldnât swallow that breath, he didnât want to really hurt Ning Yu, but that time Brandon still hurt him. The teenager suffered a lot because of his tough mouth and stubbornness, just because he couldnât let go of his face and prideâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wen Yan couldnât bear to embarrass the teenager, so he didnât debunk it. He said with a submissive smile, âOf course, the person who offends you will pay the price, but I still hope that if you have anything you want to do in the future, you can just order me.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling suddenly showed displeasure, âWhat do you mean by that? Do you think I canât do things and need your help to clean up an untouchable?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wen Yan suddenly knelt down on one knee, raised his eyes with deep and gentle eyes, stared into the teenagerâs blue eyes, raised his head and said slowly, âI didnât mean that.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling didnât expect him to kneel, and he was so scared that he almost took a step back, but at least he stabilized himself! He raised an eyebrow and said, âOh?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wen Yanâs dark eyes were filled with almost imperceptible colors of madness. He said word by word with a devout expression, âIâm not questioning your ability, itâs just that as your loyal slave, itâs my duty to serve you.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">His teenager was so noble and pure that he was born to be admired, loved, and cared for in the palm of his hand.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Anything dirty, inferior, or vile will be done by him because his own hands are dirty.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">All the people and things that make you unhappy, I can make them disappear.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Because for me, the whole world is not as important as you.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling looked at Wen Yan, who had such a devout attitude, solemnly promised him⌠he canât help but to look straight at him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Is it necessary? Are you an actor? Are you addicted to acting?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Like a damn that Iâll believe in you.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling remembered the events of his previous life again, when the plot of the story was nearing the end and he was about to complete the mission, in order to block Ning Yu and Jing Sui, he deliberately asked Wen Yan to help him assassinate Ning Yu, because he knew that Wen Yan would not really help him, and this matter would only promote the relationship between Ning Yu and Jing Sui even more.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wen Yan also lived up to his expectations. He deliberately planned a failed assassination, and left evidence pointing at himself, so that he was accused of harming the war hero Ning Yu, which triggered a national condemnation.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">For the high-ranking imperial nobles, it didnât matter how many dirty things they did in private, but at least on the surface, they needed to be considerate about the emotions of the commoners, not to mention the fact that they couldnât openly violate the imperial laws. The matter of Ji Ling ordering the assassination of Ning Yu was once again pushed to the forefront by Wen Yan, causing Jing Sui to be enraged.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Public opinion continued to fester and finally reached to the point where even his father, Ji Ting, couldn't bear it. Ji Ting paid a lot of price for this, and finally gained Jing Suiâs understanding and compromise. The condition for saving Ji Lingâs life was to deprive him of his noble honor and banish him from the Emperor Star, never to be allowed to return as a means of calming the publicâs anger.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although this matter was expected by Ji Ling, he still had a deeper understanding of Wen Yanâs black heart.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In order to help Ning Yu out, he showed no mercy to himself <i>ah</i>!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although he would still have to look for Wen Yan when he needs his âhelpâ in the future, it will never be now. Right now he will have to stay in the Emperor Star and continue to give Ning Yu a hard time! Iâm afraid that I have lost my mind to use you, this big killer at this time.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling revealed a disdainful expression, raised his chin and said impatiently, âI know. You go, Iâm going to rest!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wen Yan looked at the teenagerâs disdainful appearance. Although his mouth said that he knew, Wen Yan knew very well in his heart that the teenager did not really want his help, and a helpless look could not help but appear in his eyes. The pain in his heart was overflowing.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Because the teenager in the previous life was like this. Although he seemed arrogant and domineering, and said those hurtful words from time to time, he never really treated himself as a subordinate, he helped himself⌠and never asked for anything in return, right?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Being a high and mighty noble, he is willing to help the humble me without asking for anything in return.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The teenagerââ The second time he asked himself to work for him was that night, when he looked at the news of Ning Yu and Jing Suiâs upcoming wedding, and looked at himself with a pale and bloodless face. As if his heart was dead, he ordered himself, asking him to kill Ning Yu.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But what about himself?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He actuallyââ when he asked himself, he mercilessly betrayed him,left him to bear the unforgivable charges, and finally desperately⌠banished from the Emperor Star by the person he loved the most.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Just because he is so selfish and despicable, greedy and uncontent in his heart, and in order to satisfy his own dirty desires, he let the high and mighty teenager fall into the dust and tried to take him for himself in this way.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wen Yan thought of this, and the pain of self-blame is like a sharp blade, churning in his chest.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">And it wasnât until after the teenagerâs death that he finally realized how wrong he was.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The true nobility of the teenager did not lie in his high noble status, but in his clean and pure heart, which he could never touch, and in that despicable way, he could never really have this person.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Even if the teenager walked down from the altar one day, he was only worthy of prostrating at his feet and kissing his toes.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wen Yanâs eyes sparkled, suppressing the dull emotions in his heart. His lips moved slightly, hanging his head and letting out a hoarse voice, âI understand⌠Please let me know if you need me, okay?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In this life, I swear to you my loyalty and willingness to be driven by you.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">To never betray you.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">............</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling finally sent this great god, Wen Yan, away and he fell to the bed in a daze. Only then did he finally have time to carefully recall Brandonâs action tonight, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrongâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The word rebirth suddenly appeared in Ji Lingâs mind again.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It seems pretty likely that if it is Brandon, he will behave like this after being reborn <i>ah</i>! After all, the iron-blooded marshal Brandon is different from Carlos and others, he is a principled person, simply put, he separates the grudges.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In his previous life, in order to follow the plot, he risked himself to save him once under the guidance of the system, and then deliberately arrogantly asked him to repay himself, so as to arouse Brandonâs disgust.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling knew very well how abominable and hateful his performance at that time was, and for Marshal Brandon, who was known as the âImperial God of Warâ, to be saved by a piece of trash like himself and forced to deal with someone he liked by holding him hostage was probably even more disgusting than eating a fly, right? But after all, it was a life-saving grace, and Brandon finally pinched his nose and admitted it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In case Brandon was reborn, although he was very angry after seeing what he saw, because of the saving grace of his previous life, he had to endure something desperately⌠This was completely consistent with his twisted expression on his face as he was struggling with the complicated situation at that time. Itâs logical too <i>ah</i>!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">If⌠Brandon really did change his behavior because of his rebirth, what about Wen Yan and Carlos?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling quivered suddenly.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This idea is too terrible, it has to be stopped!!!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling sat up from the bed: [System, are you sure they werenât reborn?]</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The system was silent for a while, and said slowly: [Iâm not sure.]</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling: [???]</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling said angrily: [You didnât say that last time, you swore to me before, this book has no rebirth factor!]</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">System explanation: [There is indeed no rebirth factor in this book, but the failure of your last mission caused the world to collapse, and what effect it will have on the characters in this world canât be discovered for the time being.

This black industrial chain was taken down just last night.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The report said nothing about him, which made Ji ling breathe a sigh of relief.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In short, they could meet like this in such a big Emperor Star, itâs really like fate, right?!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He continued to watch the news, and then turned to the gossip he wanted to see as expected. Some of Ning Yuâs avid fans had captured Ning Yu entering and exiting Marshal Brandonâs residence.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling was almost moved to tears, and he finally saw the right plot in this second lifeââ Good news! In other words, Ning Yu is still living in Brandonâs house because of him!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">According to the plot, Ning Yu will have a long-term relationship with Brandon over time at his home, and Brandon will fall in love with Ning Yu because of this. Ning Yu will also have the chance to meet and develop a relationship with Jing Sui.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The plot was finally salvaged and his efforts were not in vain!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This incident was like a shot in the arm, allowing Ji Ling to regain some motivation.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In fact, he was originally a very tenacious and resilient person. Although he would often encounter difficulties and blows, and he would be downhearted like ordinary people, he never really gave up easily. He would always get up again and continue to work hard.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">What a setback to get home!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling stayed at home and began to ponder how to proceed with the next plot.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Speaking of his previous life, he was injured after kidnapping Ning Yu. He should be at home to recuperate at this time. Nothing happened this time and it seemed that eating and drinking at home was not bad.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although there were some twists and turns before, but thinking about it from another perspective, itâs nice to be beaten lessâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">On this day, when Ji Ling was staying at home, while pondering what he should do in the next plot and spending his time doing nothing. Hardy, the servant of the family, suddenly came over with a beautiful invitation card and respectfully said to Ji Ling, âYoung Master, this is given to you by His Excellency Carlos.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling took it suspiciously and looked at it. It turned out that Carlos invited him to stay at his home for a short while.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This kind of socializing between nobles was actually quite normal. The original owner used to go to his friendâs house to stay, but it was very abnormal when it came to Carlos⌠As a powerful Grand Duke, it was not too much to say that he had a lot of opportunities on his hands, so what was the point of inviting a junior like him over to stay? Is it that you will accompany me out to eat, drink and have fun, getting high with girls?!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Conspiracy, there must be a conspiracy!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">System: [I donât recommend you to accept the invitation.]</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling is resolute not to talk to the garbage system, they are still in the cold war! And what purpose do you serve other than nonsense?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">His fingers rubbed the graceful lines of the gilt lettering on the invitation, and his eyes changed.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Deep down, he is very reluctant to approach Carlos.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But not anymore⌠thereâs no use in avoiding blindly.

After a long time, he made a low voice, âDonât be afraid.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling couldnât retreat, his back was leaning against the cold wall, and he looked at the tall man in front of him with trepidation. He was ready to be beaten⌠Who knew that he saw Brandon suddenly stop, and told him not to be afraid. Ji Ling was stunned, and his eyes couldnât help but show a suspicious look.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He quietly glanced at Brandonâs fierce and cold face, and said in his heart, I made Ning Yu into such a mess, even the gene destroyer was almost used, arenât you angry? Even if you talk about anything else, Ning Yu is at least your comrade-in-arms that has been with you through life and death! My accomplice Deng Dong is almost killed by you, will you let a culprit like me go?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The hell with âDonât be afraidâ!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Just the thought that he was likely to be beaten into a puddle of mush by the angry marshal and then sent back to the resurrection point, Ji Ling âs legs were a little soft, and he said inwardly, âYou, if you touch me, my father wonât let you go!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling stared at him with a deadly glare, but his trembling body completely exposed his inner heartâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon: â...â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He looked at the teenager who was obviously terrified, but he pretended to be stubborn and arrogant, he didnât know whether Ji Ling was angry or being funny⌠His heart was filled with helplessness, distress and pity.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">If it was his previous self, he would only feel contempt and disgust when he saw this scene, thinking that Ji ling was just another evil and greedy person, who was afraid of death. It was not pitiable for such a person to die.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But now he couldnât feel the slightest bad feeling towards the teenager.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The teenagerâs feat at the moment was not fake, he was born in the extravagant and prosperous Emperor Star, and he had been cared for in the palm of his parentâs hand since he was a child. In essence, he was just a timid child who was afraid of pain⌠However, he, who seemed to be reserved and timid, could also step through the mountains of fire. When everyone had given up, he risked his life to appear in front of him. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">To save someone who despised him and had hurt him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">What kind of kindness was this?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">What kind of courage was needed?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although the teenager looked no different from other nobles on the surface, at critical moments, the courage and kindness he burst out were not inferior to any soldier who protected their home and country. He had a heart that was more fearless and bright than anyone else⌠However, they did not receive the respect and esteem he deserved.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Everyone saw Ning Yuâs goodness, but no one saw his.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This was so unfair.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The pain was like a hand gripping Brandongâs heart.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He looked at the teenagerâs wary and fearful eyes. Although he was eager to step forward, he was afraid of scaring him. After a while, Brandon pulled the corner of his mouth, revealed a rare stiff smile, tried to show that he was not angry, and slowly spoke, âI wonât touch you.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling looked at Brandonâs âcold and creepyâ hideous smile, and suddenly felt even scarier!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He had never seen Brandon smile at him in his two lives. Brandon was originally an unsmiling character, always showing people his iron-faced, cold blooded image. Even to his own friends and subordinates, he rarely smiled, let alone smiling at himself with such a delicate and pleasant smile. He usually gave a disdainful and indifferent lookâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Moreover, big brother, you smile as if you want to send me to the execution groundâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling swallowed his mouth and stared at him warily, saying, âYou, what do you want to doâŚâ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon saw that not only did he fail to calm the little guy, but the other party was even more afraid and guarded, and his eyes were bitter.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Most of the people he came into contact with on weekdays were his own subordinates, and the soldiers on the battlefield were all thick-skinned, resistant to fighting and beating. It didnât matter how they practiced, and they never needed to bother worrying about their emotional feelings. His friends were like-minded strong people, they got along easily and casually. As for the enemies, it was better to strike directly and coldly.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">For him, comforting people was something he had never done before.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Especially to comfort such a pampered and frightened child, as if he spoke loudly, he might scare him to cryâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This was simply more difficult for Brandon than any of the dangerous battles.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">And the other party obviously distrust him and resisted him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Like a frightened little animal.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon smiled bitterly, he looked at Ji Ling, and said in a gentle tone as much as possible, âI know it wasnât your idea, the gene destroyer was taken out by Deng Dong, right?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling looked at Brandon in amazement, almost thinking that Brandon had opened Godâs perspective. How did he know that the gene destroyer was taken out by Deng Dong? And the point is, why is he excusing himself <i>ah</i>! Whatâs going on with this weird tone that seems to be comforting himself <i>ah</i>âŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Shouldnât he indiscriminately beat himself up and leave with Ning Yu?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling suddenly remembered the abnormal guys before, could it be that Brandon is also abnormal?! This thought made Ji Ling almost want to burst into tears, compared to facing an unpredictable Brandon, he suddenly felt that he was better to take the beating directlyâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Is it easy to do a task by yourself? The second time is more difficult than the first time. Not to mention that you have to face a group of big guys who donât play cards according to the routine⌠itâs completely elusive.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thinking of all the things that happened after he came back, all sorts of sadness rushed to his heart, and he just felt that his eyes were sour.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon looked at the sudden red eyes of the teenager, as if he had been greatly wronged, and suddenly he was helpless, I⌠I have tried very hard to comfort him, why does it seem that the teenager is more upset?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Where exactly did I say something wrong?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon took a deep breath and looked at the aggrieved teenager with red eyes in front of him. If someone who didnât know saw it, they would think that he scolded him right⌠But in fact, he was not even willing to say a heavy word.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Just as Brandon stumbled over his head, unsure of how to continue speaking.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Suddenly, the sound of a cane gently tapping on the metal floor sounded behind him, and then an elegant, magnetic, yet slightly faint voice rang out, âOh? This place looks very lively <i>ah</i>.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandonâs pupils contracted, and he slowly turned his head to meet Carlosâs elegant and deep, seemingly smiling face.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A chill suddenly appeared in Brandonâs eyes. Just now, he was only concerned about talking to Ji Ling, and he forgot to observe the surroundings. He didnât even notice that Carlos appeared.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">His first reaction was to pull Ji Ling, trying to protect the teenager first.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As a result, Brandonâs hand had just been raised, and he saw the panicked teenager who faced him, like a nimble rabbit, darting past him and jumping into Carlosâs arms at once!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandonâs hand remained in mid-air, looking stunned.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos also seemed to be a little surprised by Ji Lingâs âthrowing himself into his armsâ, but he quickly showed a gentle expression, raised his hand to take the teenager into his arms, and his palm fell comfortingly on the teenagerâs shoulder, patting it gently.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon gradually came back to his senses, hiding the gloom that flashed in his eyes, looked at Carlos with an icy expression, and clenched his fist. He almost forgot, now Carlos had not yet exposed his true nature, and Ji Ling still foolishly believed in himâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling clutched Carlosâs clothes tightly, and said with red eyes, âUncle Carlos save me!â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He didnât know why Carlos was here or what he was up to, but so far, Carlos had pretended to be nice to him⌠In that case, then you can stand up for me! Anyway, you and Brandon have always been enemies, and itâs natural to protect me in front of him. Itâs fair that you use me and I use you, right?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos looked at the teenagerâs wet blue eyes, looking at him expectantly as if seeing a savior, so cute and pitiful. He couldnât help but feel a fine softness in his heart, and his eyes became more gentle.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although Brandon really shouldnât scare the teenager, if it wasnât for him, how could the little guy be willing to take the initiative to ask for help? Thinking of this, even Brandon was not so unpleasant.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Anyway, in this life, he would not give Brandon another chance to hurt the teenager.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon watched the teenager rush into Carlosâs arms defenselessly, watching him reveal that look of trust and dependence to Carlos made his eyes sting. Anger and jealousy surged in his heart, and he couldnât wait to directly step forward and snatch Ji Ling from Carlosâs arms!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In his last life, it was Carlos, a ruthless bastard, who sent Ji Ling into the hands of that murderous, cold-blooded and brutal leader of the rebel army, just because he wanted to use Ji Lingâs death to arouse the noblesâ dissatisfaction with the rebel army, and force Jing Sui to carry out a bloody suppression of the rebel army and civilians who supported the rebel army.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In order to achieve his goals, he did not hesitate to sacrifice the teenager who trusted him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">If he wasnât lucky enough, Ji Ling would have died at that time.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But Ji Ling did not know about these now, he didnât know what a cold and despicable existence this wolfâs clothing Uncle Carlos, who seemed to be very good to him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">And how would the betrayal hurt him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon looked cold, with killing intent in his eyes, and he snapped, âLet him go.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Lingâs frightened body froze, and he grabbed Carlosâs clothes even tighter.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos felt Ji Lingâs fear, felt pity in his heart, and hugged the teenager in his arms tightly. Raising his gaze to look at Brandon, he raised an eyebrow and said faintly, âOh? What makes you think Iâll let go of him?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandonâs fists clenched and crunched. He looked at Carlosâs hateful face, eager to smash his mask of hypocrisy with one punch! But Ji Lingâs fearful eyes were like a shackle that firmly restrained his impulses.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">For a long time, he looked deeply at Ji Ling, and said in a low voice, hoarse voice as if promised, âCome over here, I wonât hurt you.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As long as Ji Ling was willing to come here, he would definitely protect him well, even if he turned his face against Carlos right now.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">However⌠Brandon was answered only by an alienated look of fear.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This answer seemed to have been expected for a long time.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">An agonizingly bleak look slowly crept into Brandonâs eyes.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The way the teenager looked at him, in Carlos's arms, made his blood run cold and prevented him from making any movement. The pain and weakness wrapped around his limbs like vines, forcing him to accept this fact.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The teenager didnât want to leave, and didn't want to come to him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He didnât believe him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Was he really going to force the teenager away from Carlos without regard to his wishes, and let him be frightened? Brandon couldnât do such a thing, how could he bear to hurt him again.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos looked down into the teenagerâs dependent eyes and raised his hand to touch the soft blonde hair, very satisfied with the teenagerâs obedience, the teenager was so cute⌠How could he be willing not to protect him?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">There was no one who could upset you, not even Brandon.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos raised his head to face Brandon, the corners of his lips curling into a shallow mocking arc as he said, âIt doesnât look like heâs willing to go over there. If nothing else, Your Excellency Marshal⌠farewell.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After saying that, he put his arms around Ji Ling and turned to leave.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon reflexively stepped forward to block!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But as soon as he took a step, he stopped abruptly, his fists clenched and finally he watched Ji Lingâs back disappear in front of him againâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The fundus of his eyes rolled over like a hurricane brewing.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Even if he went over there himself, no matter what he said or did, Ji ling wouldnât believe it, he believed Carlos wholeheartedly.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">CarlosâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandonâs gray eyes were cold! You wonât be proud for too long, because this time I will definitely tear your mask and let Ji Ling see your cold and ruthless heart clearly!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This time, I will never give you another chance to deceive him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos left with Ji Ling, and his subordinates did not forget to take Deng Dong on the ground with him by the way. In the blink of an eye, only Brandon and Ning Yu were left in the room.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ning Yu walked over slowly, he had actually recovered, and with his super S-class evolutionary physique, that medicinal effect could not last long. But he always stood quietly on the side, and did not intervene in the dispute between Brandon and Carlos.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He looked at Brandonâs abnormal behavior today, and remembered Brandonâs words in defense of Ji Ling last time, and doubts appeared in his eyes again, but he didnât ask any more questions, and simply said, âThank you for coming over.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon looked back at Ning Yuâs calm and gentle eyes, and slowly, a sense of guilt appeared in his heart.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling had come to trouble Ning Yu twice in a row, no matter what he actually did in his heart, at least on the surface he seemed to be going overboard, and did cause some harm to Ning Yu. However, he did not stand up for Ning yu in this life, and let him be humiliated like this, all of which made Brandon suffer in his heart.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But how could he explain that Ji Ling actually has no bad intentions?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ning Yu keenly sensed Brandonâs embarrassment and struggle, smiled lightly and said softly, âIâm fine.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Three simple words that easily bring everything to light.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Since Ning Yu said âIâm fineâ, so even if you don't pursue Ji Ling, it's okay, no matter what kind of decision you make, I'm sure you have your reasons because I trust you as a person.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">And Iâm a soldier, not a weakling who canât take a little grievance.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon understood the meaning of Ning Yuâs words and read his eyes, breathed a sigh of relief and felt more guilty in his heart. Half a moment later, he seemed to have finally made a decision and slowly said, âIn order to avoid any more accidents, you can move to my house for the time being.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He still said it anyway.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But this time, it was not for fear that Ning Yu would encounter danger, he knew that Ning Yu would not be harassed again after this incident, and Deng Dongâs fate was enough to deter those dandies, so that they did not dare to act rashly again.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He let Ning Yu stay at his home simply because he knew that Jing Sui would soon see Ning Yu in his home and was attracted to Ning Yu.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After all, an excellent person like Ning Yu always attracted the attention of others easily, and his brilliance could not be concealed.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">So, it doesn't matter if he doesnât like him anymore, right? Because there will be many people who like him and trust him, Ning Yu has never lacked these.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But Ji Ling is different, no one likes him, believes in him, and protects him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He is the one who needs his protection.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">SorryâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In this life, I hope you can reap the rewards of your love and career, and I hope that you and Jing Sui can be together without any problems⌠that is the only thing I can compensate you for.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">And in this case, Ji Ling may give up earlier and not get hurt by it, right?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As a friend of Jing Sui, Brandon knew best what a cold and determined person Jing Sui was. Perhaps only someone like Ning Yu, who was also firm and had a clear purpose, would be a suitable partner for him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">And the teenagerâs love was so pure and fiery that it would only hurt.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">-----------</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although Deng Dong was seriously injured but did not die, he was quickly sent to the rescue. With the Star Empireâs medical treatment, there would be no danger to his life and Ji Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief after learning this.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">At this time, he finally had time to feel scaredâŚ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">I just came out of the tigerâs mouth and entered the wolfâs den <i>ah</i>!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">If it wasnât for the fact that he was trying to avoid Brandon, he wouldnât have risked going near Carlos anyway! And this old bastard appeared in such a timely manner, he wasnât stalking him, right? The thought simply creeped him out!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling was so nervous being held in Carlosâs arms that he couldnât wait to leave immediately. He let go of the hand holding Carlosâs shirt, his eyelashes trembled and raised his head, revealing moist eyes, and said in a low voice, âThank youâŚâ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlos looked at the little cutie in his arms, and his expression was very gentle. âWhy are you being polite with me?â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling showed a grateful look and said cautiously, âThatâ I should go homeâŚâ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Saying that, with a gentle push, he tried to leave Carlosâs arms.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But after leaving a little, he felt a force coming from his waist, and Ji Ling was caught off guard and hit his back. He raised his eyes in panic and faced the manâs brown dark eyes, which were emotions that he could not understand at all.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A trace of uneasiness inexplicably surfaced in Ji Lingâs heart⌠The next moment, he felt the manâs extremely aggressive breath approaching, and the warm breath was wrapped in the manâs low magnetic voice, ringing in his ears, making people tremble in their hearts, âAre you going to leave? Youâre going to make me feelâŚâ</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carlosâs thin lips opened slightly, and said with a meaningful tone, âYouâre avoiding me.â</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ji Ling froze.</span></div></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"> <span>----------</span></span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><div><span style="font-size: large;">If you like my translation, please support me by buying me a coffee:</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><span><a href="https://ko-fi.com/oyen0710">https://ko-fi.com/oyen0710</a> </span><span>or </span><a href="https://trakteer.id/oyens">https://trakteer.id/oyens</a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800180;"><b><span><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.oyensblog.com/2023/07/VALIR-ch-12.html">Previous Chapter</a> |</span></span></b><b><span><span style="font-size: large;"><span> </span><span><a href="https://www.oyensblog.com/p/villains-all-fell-in-love-with-me-after.html">Table of Content</a> </span></span></span></b><span><b><span><span style="font-size: large;">| </span></span></b><b><span><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.oyensblog.com/2023/08/VALIR-ch-14.html">Next Chapter</a></span></span></b></span></span></div></div>Oyenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02923874792286361037noreply@blogger.com0
