Chapter 73 Because I Love Him

  With a nervous heart, Leng Xi hesitated for a long time and decided to go back to Ling's house after work. Ling Han must be at home.

  When I came back, Aunt Zifeng was already sitting in the living room. Although her eyes didn't have a clear focus, they were still beautiful. Like Ling Han's, they were slightly upturned and narrow. Ling Han had a few more masculine sharpness and depth. While Aunt Zifeng's narrow phoenix eyes added a bit of feminine charm and a kind of majesty that was hard to describe.

  After the last incident, Leng Xi was a bit afraid of Zi Feng Auntie and subconsciously wanted to keep some distance from her. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Zi Feng Auntie sitting there, leisurely drinking tea, seemingly waiting for someone.

  Leng Xi Nuonu bowed to Zifeng Auntie, "Auntie Zifeng." Seeing that Zifeng didn't respond or react, she blinked and was about to go upstairs to wait for Ling Han.

  "Sit down." Zi Feng Aunt suddenly said. Her voice was neither light nor heavy, but the intimidating power in her words was undiminished.

  Leng Xi was taken aback, hesitated for a moment, and quietly walked over to sit down in front of Zi Feng's aunt. She nervously pinched her palms, not knowing what to say.

  Ding Ding looked at Zi Feng and slowly took a sip of tea, her movements elegant and dignified. Then she calmly put down the teacup, her hands placed neatly on her knees, clearly showing the refinement and temperament of a noble family.

  "What do you want to get."

  "Ah." Zǐ Fèng's words left Lěng Qī suddenly stunned and bewildered. She was at a loss.

  "Don't pretend to be stupid. You've been deliberately getting close to Han'er, wanting to gain status or wealth." Zifeng's words were cold and hurtful.

  Her heart was heavy, her whole body felt like it had been pierced by a thousand needles. She hung her head and muttered in a low, melodious voice, "I... I love him." She really didn't have any ulterior motives. If she just wanted status, why wouldn't she be with Bai Li Cheng? His status wasn't bad either. And if it was for money, why would she refuse Xie Fei? After all, Xie Fei had spent 600 million yuan on her, enough for her to live a life of luxury.

  She just wants to follow her heart. She has lost a lot. The love of her parents slipped away from her since she was young. She never had the warmth that children of her age should have. Finally, she grew up. All she wanted was to pursue her own love. Is it wrong for her to chase after the one in her heart?

  Zi Feng's disdainful sneer. "Which woman beside him doesn't love him." These hypocritical words, she had already become numb to them. "Just because of that day when you pushed me down the stairs, you don't have the qualifications to say the word 'love'." Zi Feng's stern words echoed out. She couldn't tolerate a heartless and ruthless woman staying by Han's side.

  That day, she clearly heard Leng Xi returning. She even called out to her. Although she didn't make a sound, she felt her nodding in response. This meant that the person was indeed Leng Xi. She stood at the edge of the balcony, feeling the wind, and stretched out her hand for Leng Xi to help her back into the house. But instead, Leng Xi pushed her down without hesitation. Fortunately, she had some basic skills from her time in the military, or else she would have been crippled or killed.

  It was just that the first time they met, she glanced at him and he took a liking to her, but she harbored resentment in her heart. Such a petty and narrow-minded woman with a dark and sinister heart, how could she be worthy of following Han Er?

  Zi Feng's words fell, as if they had struck his heart again.

  Leng Xi was taken aback for a second, then hastily shook her head. "Zi Feng Auntie, although I don't know why you're so certain it's me, but I really didn't do it. And I really love Ling Han. Whether you believe it or not is fine, as long as I know my own heart and can ask for forgiveness from myself, that's enough. I won't accompany you anymore, I'm going upstairs." Leng Xi was a bit flustered as she waved her hand, but her words were calm and unwavering, even with a hint of firmness.

  Because she has nothing to hide, so she's very confident, isn't she?

  Zi Feng took a deep breath and tightened his grip on the teacup, but still couldn't stop Leng Xi from leaving.

  Leng Xi locked herself in the room. Although Zi Feng's words were refuted by her, but hearing and not hearing made a difference. Her mood was still saddened by Zi Feng's words, feeling stifled and uncomfortable.

  Sat in front of the dresser, dazed for a moment. The other hand placed between her legs clenched into a fist and moved slightly. Only then did she realize that she had been holding onto something very important to her all along. She opened her palm and looked at the two pairs of rings. Cold Creek's uneasy heart finally found some relief. These rings weren't expensive, but they held extraordinary significance. She had hurt Ling Han once, and Ling Han had also hurt her once. Let's just call it even then. She was going to tell him soon that she was having his child. She wondered... what would Ling Han's reaction be if she gave birth to a son?

  The creaky door was opened. Leng Xi hurriedly looked back and saw Ling Han's tall figure. Her heart suddenly skipped a beat. Seeing him was like finding her reliance, seeing the mainstay of her heart. Tense at the same time was an inexpressible sense of security.

  "Ling Han. I'm here to help you..." He saw him untying his tie. She clenched her fist, grasping the ring in her hand. Some hurried past.

  But her outstretched hand was pushed away by him impatiently. Xuan Han's eyes glanced at her, as if he didn't want her to appear here.

  His excited heart suddenly calmed down. Leng Xi lowered his head, his hands clasped together in front of him, using one hand to scratch the other. He lifted his dark eyes and secretly looked at him.

  He took off his tie but didn't go into the bathroom, instead he went to the closet to find another set of clothes and headed to the dressing room.

  Is he going out? Leng Xi's heart tightened a little.

  Five minutes later, Ling Han changed his clothes and came out. He only saw Leng Xi still in the same posture as before, with her head half lowered, her hands restlessly grasping the fist, and her black hair scattered over her face, covering more than half of it, making it impossible to see her expression.

  At this time, she was wearing a cotton beige pajamas with several large black letter patterns on her chest. The bright and dark colors contrasted with each other, radiating a pure and clean light. She looked as young as a high school student, which made her skin look even whiter and more translucent.

  Ling Han frowned and walked away without looking back. Leng Xi was a bit panicked, her line of sight following his figure as he moved. When he was about to pass by her side, she hastily grabbed his hand. "Ling Han, give me some time. I'll confess to you, okay..." Before she could finish speaking, her hand was shaken off. Ling Han's eyebrows were filled with cold displeasure. "I don't have time to listen to your nonsense."

  "I'm not lying, give me fifteen minutes, really, just fifteen minutes...” Seeing him about to leave, she didn't dare go forward and grab him, instead speaking anxiously from behind, after which she bit her lip, afraid of crying out loud.

  She prayed for his helplessness, but he had no attachment, leaving her a cold and ruthless back, slamming the door and leaving.

  He vanished in the blink of an eye. She slumped to the ground, powerless. The ring that had not been taken out of his hand yet fell to the ground. It bounced twice and then came to a stop quietly. Tears fell, landing right on the ring, casting a brilliant sparkle. It was the purest silver color. The flash of wings was indeed the most heart-wrenching sorrow.

  He didn't even give her a chance. Even if she had a thousand words to say to him. Without him, everything is blank.

  She thought he would come back after finishing his work, so she didn't sleep and sat on the bed waiting for him. She told herself to be strong and not to be easily defeated by a little difficulty. So she persisted stubbornly until 2 o'clock in the middle of the night.

  She couldn't sit still anymore. So she took out her mobile phone and called him.

  That side did get through, but it wasn't Ling Han. It was a slightly unfamiliar yet extremely familiar voice. Familiar to the point that Leng Creek's heart skipped a beat.

  "Sister, how could it be you? Ling Han?"

  "Lin Han, he's taking a bath... it's not convenient to answer the phone. Do you have something to say?" Leng Ni's words carried a slightly lazy tone, seemingly still weak, with a hint of coquetry and a whisper of seduction, how piercing to one's heart.

  Taking a bath. It's so late and Ling Han is still taking a bath.

  That bad guess was swirling in her mind, stabbing her heart with every needle.

  Leng Xi's heart suddenly panicked. She took a deep breath and suppressed the trembling tone, saying "Give him the phone. I have something urgent to find him about..."

  "But we're in a hurry now. Never mind, I'll hang up. Uh... bye..." Ronnie left behind a sentence with unclear meaning. It seemed like someone was kissing her from behind. She murmured a low moan and then hung up the phone.

  "Hello? Hello?" Leng Xi's heart was racing like a deer. She quickly dialed again, but it went straight to voicemail.

  Her heart sank instantly. Her fingertips quickly cooled to numbness. Her expression was stunned.

  No, it's not possible. How can he be with her sister? Unprecedented panic sets in. Leng Xi can no longer wait quietly like this. She quickly gets dressed and gives Du Shaoxi a call to ask where Ling Han is. She learns that he is at the Lingyun Hotel.

  It's really a big hotel. As expected, it was a big hotel. Her heart turned pale and powerless. But she comforted herself with self-deception. She wouldn't believe it until she saw it with her own eyes.

  She almost stumbled into the hotel, her pale body swaying unsteadily. But then she remembered that she didn't know which room it was. Lingyun Hotel. She only knew of two rooms. One was 209. The other was 206. She was almost frantic with worry. Without thinking, she relied on memory and rushed towards 209. The place where she had lost her first time. Although she was terrified to go there, now everything else paled in comparison to her distress at the thought of Ling Han being with Leng Ni.

  The door to 209 was surprisingly unlocked. She didn't have the heart to care about it. With one kick, she opened the door. The situation inside was chaotic: men's and women's clothes were scattered all over the floor. On the bed, two people were naked facing each other. Coline shrank weakly into Ling Han's arms.

  His heart suddenly felt empty. Leng Xi's expression was dull and he stood there in a daze.

  If I had warned myself earlier that I shouldn't believe it until I see it with my own eyes, then this scene before me would have shattered the last remaining thread of hope, leaving nothing but dust.

  "Ah." It seemed that Leng Qiu had just realized her intrusion. Leng Ni suddenly jumped up in embarrassment, grabbing the quilt to cover her bare body. As soon as she grabbed the quilt, a figure suddenly jumped out from the other end of the bed.

  A flash of crimson suddenly pierced Leng Qi's eyes... That was Leng Nie's hymenal blood. They had really slept together.

  "A thousand sharp swords pierced her chest at once. Heart-wrenching pain. Her face had lost all its blood color."

  Everything in front of her became blurry. Leng Xi felt a stinging pain in her heart. A salty and fishy taste was about to come out. Her eyes were hot. She let out a muffled hum. Thin threads of red blood surprisingly spread from her mouth. Blurry tears. Seeing everything blurred. The heartache was so clear. So clear that it made her dizzy. Clear enough that the whole world was a bright black color.

  It turned out that when he saw it with his own eyes, he had stabbed a knife into her heart full of love for him...
