Chapter 93: Cinderella and Trash Prince Episode 14

  The family's power struggle has already been settled, and no one can shake Lou Tianyi's position in the company. He didn't rush back, but instead followed his heart and temporarily stayed in C City because there were more important things to do.

  On the one hand, Shu's uncle and his family would not let them off so easily. Although there was no evidence, they couldn't just pick up a few stones from the water and say they wanted to drown him, nor were there any eyewitnesses (Ning didn't mention it, probably because she hadn't seen anything, and he didn't want to involve her). However, he had ways to make them miserable. His survival alone was enough to fill them with fear and unease, reminding them day and night of the sin they had committed, worrying that he would come back for revenge. As for how to deal with them specifically, what kind of fate should be given to his "good relatives", he hadn't thought it through yet, but there was no rush, he would let them know the consequences of offending him.

  On the other hand, and more importantly, he had lived for almost thirty years before finally meeting a woman he admired, who not only saved his life but also saved his heart. It was impossible for him to let her go easily, even though she now has a boyfriend. He had confidence that he could win her back, and one day make her belong to him.

  Lou Tian told Yang Ningning about his life, saying he had returned to do something for the people of his hometown and was looking for suitable investment projects. He also asked Yang Ningning to be his temporary assistant during his stay in C City to help with some matters. Yang Ningning agreed enthusiastically, thinking he was a great person, and promised to help him all the way.

  The two of them grew closer while taking care of their grandmother in Suoluo. Every day, they would use the excuse of finding projects to wander around the streets and alleys of C City, trying all sorts of traditional snacks from old shops that had been around for decades, reminiscing about what C City was like when they were young, and sharing embarrassing stories with each other. In short, they spent every day stuck together, having a great time, and people who didn't know them would think they were a couple in love.

  However, Loutian Ren felt that something was missing, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was. No matter how hard he thought about it, he had to give up and admit that maybe he was just being overly cautious.

  And he also has a shameful secret that he has been hiding in his heart, knowing it's wrong and disrespectful to Yang Ningning, but he can't help being obsessed with it, looking forward to it every day, even going to bed early just to wait for the scenes in his dreams.

  Not surprisingly, since that day, he almost every night dreamed of the scene when he was rescued, and had long been divorced from reality, becoming extremely romantic.

  In his dream, he was also abandoned in the water, and then a beautiful figure swam towards him, helping to remove the restraints from his body while giving him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. But it wasn't just that - their lips and tongues entwined, indistinguishable from each other. He could clearly feel her fragrant breath and the sweet nectar in her mouth, making his entire body numb with pleasure, leaving him dizzy and disoriented. Wanting to hold her tight, but unable to control himself, he could only anxiously struggle.

  The scale was even bigger afterwards, and the two of them somehow ended up on shore. It seemed like someone said they had to save him, so she had to follow him... As a result, she couldn't help but lean against his body, her delicate skin tightly pressed against his bare chest. Her small hands moved slowly down along his eyebrows, eyes, and nose bridge as if under some sort of magic spell, igniting a blazing flame wherever they touched, making his heart feel like it was going to jump out of his mouth. And then there were those fiery lips... The incredibly wonderful sensation almost melted him completely.

  Despite this, he didn't feel that her behavior was at all tainted; she remained as pure and angelic as ever, willing to sacrifice herself without reserve in order to save him. He only regretted that he couldn't take control of the situation, turn things around, and thoroughly possess her.

  Can't see her face clearly, but can feel the intimacy between the two people clearly.

  Just as he was about to lose control and his consciousness was urging her to go further and further, a sudden change occurred.

  A group of vicious and evil people suddenly appeared, including his uncles, brothers, sisters, business rivals, childhood bullies, and even the relatives who had abandoned him as a child. They came with a fierce momentum, their faces twisted in a cannibalistic expression, holding bloody knives, guns, and clubs, their eyes glowing red as they stepped closer and closer.

  Go! Hurry up!

  He wanted to shout at her not to mind him and hurry up and leave, but somehow he couldn't make a sound, anxious and painful. He could only watch with his eyes wide open as they pulled her away from him, then raised those deadly weapons at her...

  No!!!!!!!!!!

  He used all his strength to try and break free from the restraints on his body, vowing to protect her at all costs, then...

  He woke up.

  His heart was still in intense turmoil, the fear of loss so real that he couldn't snap out of it for a long time. He touched the corner of his eye and found tears had already fallen.

  My body was also drenched in sweat, and so were those places.

  Got up and rushed to the bathroom for a quick wash, then changed into dry clothes and lay back in bed.

  It must be the shadow of being bullied and framed by those people in the past that is too deep, so they would have such a dream. They are not enough to worry about, and can't hurt you and Ningning at all. What else is there to worry about?

  After a good while of mental preparation, I finally calmed down and began to savor the vivid scenes from my dream.

  It's strange to say, I already knew Ningning's appearance, and the faces of others in my dream were clear, but somehow I couldn't see her clearly, and there was always a feeling that the one in my dream was very different from the one in real life, but I couldn't quite put my finger on what was different.

  She seems more gentle in his dreams, with a more elegant temperament. The curves of her body and the smoothness of her skin are even more vivid than they are in reality. Although he has feelings for her, he can't bring himself to lie about it - her appearance is only pretty and lovely, her figure petite like that of an adolescent girl who hasn't fully developed yet. She doesn't have much of a feminine charm, but none of this stops him from loving her because she saved his life. This rebirth was probably the heavens' way of arranging for them to meet.

  Perhaps it's the inferiority of men, after all, they are fond of beauty. Ningning now belongs to someone else and can only relieve her longing in dreams, so she unknowingly imagines her as the kind of woman he likes. But isn't the Ningning in his dreams still her? Thinking this way makes him feel at ease. Every night, he looks forward to completing this * dream, but unfortunately, every time he wakes up at a critical moment and has never fully satisfied his desire, nor has he ever seen his face clearly.

  He just didn't believe it was evil, and time after time, he swallowed it like candy.

  Lin Chenghua was staring at his phone with Su Luo's number on the screen, wanting to call but not daring to, when he was caught by Yang Ningning who had just returned from the rooftop and was originally planning to play a prank on him.

  "What are you doing! Are you thinking of her? Why don't you just go find her, I'm not stopping you! Anyway, you two were originally husband and wife, I'm just a poor girl, and it's all because of me that you got hurt. Everyone thinks you two are a good match, so go ahead, go find her! You can remarry!" Yang Ningning pulled him up from the sand and pushed him, trying to drag him out the door.

  Lin Chenghua wanted to say something nice, but the words reached his lips and he swallowed them back. At this point, it was too late to say anything, so he could only remain silent, letting Yang Ningning pummel him with her fists and cry out in distress.

  Yang Ningning was extremely disappointed, she thought Lin Chenghua would at least be anxious to give her an explanation and then ask for her forgiveness, telling her how much he loved her, just like every time they quarreled in the past. But there wasn't any of that. After struggling for a while, she got tired too, seeing Lin Chenghua still looking like he was about to die, she painfully slammed the door and ran out crying. Lin Chenghua didn't chase after her either, but instead lay back on the sand, staring at the ceiling with his eyes open, thinking who-knows-what.

  Yang Ningning didn't go back to her mom's place and instead subconsciously ran back to the hotel where Loutian was staying.

  "Boss, waaahhh~~~~~~~" Loutian Ren opened the door to see a tear-stained face.

  "What's wrong, what's wrong, who bullied you? Don't cry first, come in and talk slowly." Lou Tianren's heart ached extremely, he pulled her into his arms, gently comforting her while leading her into the house. In fact, he was a bit nervous, afraid that Yang Ningning would push him away, fortunately she didn't, which made him secretly delighted.

  "What's wrong, speak out and we'll figure it out together." In his heart, he hoped that Yang Ningning would quarrel with her boyfriend and break up directly, which would be less troublesome. Recently, he had also asked someone to investigate the other party's background, but he didn't take him seriously at all. It was just that Ningning liked him, which made it more troublesome, so he was very cautious until now and hadn't taken action yet.

  "He's changed, he's been different since that woman came back. He wasn't like this before and never treated me like this. That woman must be trying to win him back. How can this be? We're already divorced and he chose to be with me, why is he still entangled with her? Don't they care about my feelings at all? I'm so heartbroken! What should I do, boss, tell me what I should do?"

  I knew it!

  Lou Tian's face showed a look of sympathy, but in fact he was overjoyed.

  "Are you saying that your boyfriend's ex-wife has returned, and the two of them are now getting along again?" He was aware of Ji Xiaogu's existence, but when his assistant reported the news to him, he distorted the truth at the time, glossing over the reason for their divorce and only mentioning that they were incompatible, without mentioning Yang Ningning's involvement. This was because he knew how much his boss doted on Yang, who had saved his life, and felt it unnecessary to offend his future boss's wife. Moreover, given his boss's protective nature, even if he had spoken up, he would have likely taken Yang's side. So, he wisely helped her cover up her unseemly behavior, doing her a personal favor, which led Lou Tianren to believe that Yang Ningning had only started dating him after Lin Chenghui's divorce.

  "That shouldn't be, but Cheng Hua must still have her in mind, otherwise he wouldn't let me see him staring at that woman's phone number today. Boss, didn't you say nothing can stump you? Help me out, make that woman go back to France, don't let her bother Cheng Hua anymore!"

  "Alright, I'll help you think of a solution. It's too late today, why don't you go wash up and rest here for the night? Don't get me wrong, I'll sleep on the sofa and let you have the bed. If you go back to your boyfriend like this, he'll definitely take advantage of you even more, and it will only get worse in the future. And if you go to your mom's place, she'll just worry for nothing. Just stay here and rest well, things will work out.

  Lou Tianren made the suggestion with ulterior motives, thinking that Yang Ningning would refuse, or at least ask to open another room, because most girls wouldn't easily agree to be alone in a room with a guy they didn't know very well. But what made him happy and worried was that Ningning surprisingly agreed, she was so trusting of him, but he wasn't sure if he could trust himself! This night would definitely be a sweet torture."

  Lou Tianren thought that with Jia Ren by his side, he would definitely not be able to sleep, but in reality, it wasn't the case. Facing Yang Ningning herself, he didn't have the same nervousness and longing as he did in his dreams. After chatting with her for a bit, he fell asleep while reading a book, and had no dreams throughout the night, not even the usual benefits.

  The next day, the assistants were shocked to see Yang Ningning coming out of the boss's house, but they quickly accepted the fact and thought that it was inevitable anyway. The boss always gets what he wants. They had originally thought it was just a passing infatuation on the part of the boss, and that Yang Ningning still deeply loved her boyfriend, but it turned out to be nothing more than that. Although they all looked down on her in their hearts, they were even more polite to her on the surface.

  Lou Tian casually made up an excuse and had one of his assistants take Yang Ningning to collect some data, while he had other plans.

  Although he agreed to help Ningning win back her boyfriend, he didn't want to do so and instead wanted to let them break up completely. Today, he planned to meet his love rival's ex-wife, a woman named Ji Xiaogu, believing they would have good cooperation.
