“You’re too beautiful. I couldn’t help but be captivated.” Wang Nie knew his eyes could be electrifying, deliberately staring at her to bewitch her.
“Really?” His gaze disturbed her, though she admitted he was extremely charming.
Wang Nie suddenly embraced Luo Yaling, kissing her cherry-like lips. She felt weak from the kiss. Without his strong grip, she might have collapsed.
Suddenly sobering, Luo Yaling rushed to fix her disheveled top, stumbling back onto the grass. With hazy purple eyes, she gasped, “Go away! How dare you take advantage of me again?”
Wang Nie, frustrated, brushed back his hair and saw Yaling’s trembling hands. He stepped forward, crouching down. “Let me help.”
Luo Yaling hesitated but was too shaken to refuse.
Wang Nie fixed her clothes while gazing into her purple eyes. Fully awakened, Luo Yaling looked at him and stuttered, “I’m very sorry…”
“No need to apologize. I should apologize. I lost control; I just wanted a kiss.” He took a deep breath and embraced her again.
She almost… What should she do next? Is he reliable? Ah, she’ll think about it later! Luo Yaling thought while leaning in Wang Nie’s arms.
“Let’s go back! Yaling, take a few days off. I’ll take you to dinner tomorrow…” Wang Nie brushed back Luo Yaling’s bangs.
“No, I don’t want to go.” Luo Yaling shook her head. Their encounters were getting more intense, and she was afraid he might devour her before she was certain.
Wang Nie understood her concerns: “I’ll be very gentlemanly. I promise.” He lightly pecked Luo Yaling’s forehead before carrying her to the parking spot.
She sat in the back seat, facing away, pouting and staring at Wang Nie’s head. Is he truly trustworthy? What if he deceives her? She didn’t know. Forget it; she’ll think about it later! Thinking now won’t help. Maybe he’s not that kind of person. He’s treated her well. Gradually, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Wang Nie looked at her and smiled slightly. He admitted he never took women seriously, but for her, he wanted to draw her in slowly. The deeper he went, the more he desired her, shifting from wanting her background’s power to wanting her. So he put in more effort.
Her innocence and gestures were imprinted in his heart; at times, he couldn’t bear to hurt her. What would he do with her? He gradually enjoyed this ambiguous interaction and wondered if he could continue this game.
From the beginning, he had decided to deceive her heart. He believed his charm could bewitch her, and their game was already in its middle stage. He was close to winning her heart and needed to try harder. Her background and power would be his, along with her. But first, he needed to resolve the matter of that beautiful lady.
Chapter Fifty-Five: Investigation
In a high-end hotel: “Jun, aren’t you going to help Yaling?” Liu Yuhui cracked melon seeds, watching TV.
“Not now. We’ll help when she truly needs us. It’s time for her to genuinely experience emotions. I believe my sister can withstand love’s test. I’ll intervene if necessary,” Ya Jun thought.
But seeing Hui like this, he couldn’t help but sigh. How had Hui become so unbridled? Had he lost his appeal to her? Previously, she was infatuated with him, but now she seemed indifferent. Ya Jun looked glumly at Liu Yuhui, who was engrossed in the TV.
What face-to-face interaction was necessary? Did Ling Ling need these things? What if her heart got hurt? However, if it truly was like that…
I believe Ling Ling will get back up after setbacks and face another emotional situation,” Liu Yuhui said thoughtfully while looking at the TV.
“Hmm, this way we won’t disturb them. We’ll live our own world.” The two have their own world, but Hua Chihui stared intently at the TV. Ya Jun looked gloomily at Liu Yuhui.
In an apartment: “Young master, won’t you go see Miss Ya? Someone is pursuing her. Are you just going to let it go?” Wu Ma said anxiously to Shen Yixuan, who had his back turned to her.
“Wu Ma, do you have nothing else to do?” A cold voice interrupted.
What does her situation have to do with him? But, someone is pursuing her? The icy face suddenly changed.
“Yes, yes, yes. Young master, remember to eat dinner. The dishes you like are prepared on the table. Wu Ma will go busy herself now.” She thought comfortingly about reporting to the madam. The mission had failed; she discovered that Miss Ya was indeed the daughter of Miss Jing. Heaven rewards the persistent! Her daughter has grown up beautifully, and Miss Jing can now be at peace.
Shen Yixuan let out a cold snort to show he understood.
After Wu Ma left, he never saw her again. How could she be with someone else?
Shen Yixuan pondered the situation, feeling a mix of confusion and irritation. Why should he care about who Luo Yaling was pursuing? Was it her skills that had drawn someone in, or was it merely his own curiosity? He realized he didn’t know much about her background, which tugged at his mind.
He picked up his phone and called Xu Chu. “Help me investigate Luo Yaling’s background and the men around her.” He hung up before Xu Chu could respond.
On the other end, Xu Chu was disturbed from his sleep, wanting to curse but holding back as Yixuan’s voice cut through his thoughts.
Xu Chu stared at his phone, confused about Yixuan’s temper. Mentioning the men around her seemed to trigger something. Who was Luo Yaling? He only knew one Luo, who was dead. He thought it was amusing that the “big iceberg” might soon fall in love. Now, he needed to sleep and would investigate tomorrow.
In a grand mansion on a private island, a shocked cry resonated inside.
“Honey, calm down,” Shen Yiqiang urged Shangguan Ziling.
“Okay, okay, I’m listening,” she replied gently to the other person on the line.
Another shocked exclamation followed, nearly blowing out Wu Ma’s ears.
“I understand. Leave the girl to you; keep investigating,” Shangguan Ziling concluded and hung up.
“How is it? Successful?” Shen Yiqiang asked anxiously.
Shangguan Ziling recounted the story.
“What? So it failed?”
Another exclamation came from Shen Yiqiang.
“Old man, you told me to calm down, but now you need to calm down more. Here, have some tea to cool down.” Shangguan Ziling patted Shen Yiqiang’s chest and poured a cup of tea.
“When can our son come see us?” Shen Yiqiang asked plaintively.
“I don’t know. We might have to wait a bit longer.” Shangguan Ziling sat on the sofa, sipping tea. In her heart, she was cursing her son’s stubbornness for missing a good opportunity. Her daughter-in-law was lost unexpectedly; she didn’t expect that girl to be Jing’s daughter. They were unable to investigate her background initially, but Wu Ma was quite capable. Great! That would be her daughter-in-law. But if her son remains unproactive, she would have to take action. He must bring a daughter-in-law back.
Shen Yixuan exclaimed, “It’s always wait, wait, wait. I’m going gray waiting. Look!”
Shangguan Ziling responded, “Alright! Let’s first investigate the background of the man around that girl, and then we’ll talk.”
She was anxious about her son, but the situation with the potential daughter-in-law needed immediate attention. She didn’t want her to escape.
“That makes sense. So what are we waiting for? Let’s send someone to investigate right now!” They quickly ordered an investigation.
Chapter Fifty-Six: Knowing
A sudden brake sound awakened Luo Yaling from her sleep.
Luo Yaling opened her eyes and looked at Wang Nie in the driver’s seat: “Are we here?”
“I was planning to let you sleep longer! Didn’t expect Lingling to wake up on her own. We’ve arrived. Do you want me to accompany you up?” Wang Nie asked gently, though something was unclear in his eyes.
“Oh! No need, I can go up by myself,” Luo Yaling mumbled as she rubbed her eyes.
“Then… okay!” Wang Nie replied reluctantly.
