Leng Youlan’s cold expression was as if she was narrating someone else’s story, but Lei Tianyi’s heart ached deeply. How much had his babe suffered? His dark, deep eyes flashed with anger.
“Then how could you study at Saint Luoduo Academy? That’s a place ordinary people can’t enter, and from what you’ve said, even if that man had money, he wouldn’t care about you.”
“Yes, how would he care about me? He’d prefer me dead. We’ve had no contact these years. Everything has been handled through the lawyer my mommy entrusted before her death, protecting me with her will.” Her calm voice concealed a bone-chilling coldness.
“Babe, I’ll take care of you from now on. The warmth you’ve missed, I’ll make up for double.”
The hurt you’ve suffered, I’ll make them pay double.” A sinister smile played on Lei Tianyi’s cold face, his eyes freezing.
“Yi, thank you, but I want to seek justice for mommy and myself with my own hands.”
“Okay, but remember I’ll always support you.” Lei Tianyi knew that if she couldn’t take revenge herself, the knot in her heart would never untie. But he would guard her, ensuring no one could harm her again.
[Volume One: Chapter Five – Perfect Match]
“No way! That woman absolutely can’t laugh”
“That’s right, that’s right, it’s impossible for that cold woman”
“Hmm!” Everyone nodded in unison.
“Ring~~~~” The morning time was punctuated by the lunch break bell.
Leng Youlan walked out of the classroom with the crowd, heading towards the cafeteria.
On the crowded path, a special circular shape stood out conspicuously. The circle expanded with a radius of one meter, centered on a woman. Inside the circle, except for the woman, there was no one else, while outside the circle was packed with people. As the woman moved, the circle moved with her.
The surrounding gazes were mixed with complex emotions, including infatuation, jealousy, and resentment. However, the woman seemed completely unaware of everything she had triggered, with a delicate face wearing only a faint coldness.
This indifference clearly made people feel her disregard for external matters, or her indifference to things unrelated to herself.
Leng Youlan sat in her exclusive seat, quietly enjoying her lunch. Warm sunlight from the half-open window shone on her perfect profile, with long eyelashes casting slender shadows on her exquisite face.
This was a corner seat by the window, but even so, she could still feel everyone’s gaze. She slightly brushed her bangs and turned her head towards the window.
“Ah!” A small sigh escaped her mouth. She was supposed to have lunch with Yi, but Yi had something to do at noon.
‘It’s okay, Leng Youlan, you can do it tomorrow!’ She secretly encouraged herself, but still felt somewhat disappointed.
“Hey, did you hear? Someone saw our school flower Li Yu just now with an incredibly handsome guy.”
“I didn’t hear about it, but—I saw it!”
The two girls at the next table began to discuss the latest campus gossip.
She couldn’t be harsh on others just because of her abnormal abilities, right? But when she heard about Lei Tianyi, she couldn’t remain indifferent. Emotion had already dominated her thoughts before reason, and she even unconsciously spoke his name, showing an angry expression. Yes! She was angry, angry at Yi!
The people in the cafeteria looked at the rapidly fleeing figures with puzzled gazes. Leng Youlan was completely immersed in her own world. Her heart ached, ached to the point of almost not being able to breathe, ached to the point where only she existed in the world. She was also angry. What was she angry about? She suddenly didn’t know why she was angry. Was it because Yi was on a date with the school flower? Was it because Yi didn’t drop the beauty to have lunch with her? Thinking about it, she found herself ridiculous. She had no necessity, no right to interfere with anyone, right?
Leng Youlan took a deep breath, adjusting her complex emotions, quickly hiding them behind her coldness. Because she knew someone was already walking towards her.
In the cafeteria, it was as silent as a windless lake at night, with attractive gazes locked on that tall figure. “I want you to be my woman.” The slightly raised corner of his mouth showed arrogance, staring at Leng Youlan, his narrowed eyes shooting out the excited light of a hunter pursuing prey. “Okay, according to the game rules,” her indifferent tone had no change in pitch.
Ignoring his burning following gaze and the crowd’s surprised gasps, Leng Youlan calmly walked out of the cafeteria. Now, she needed to think calmly.
“Hmph! Cold and aloof woman, I want you to show me everything.”
Leng Youlan retracted her deep black gaze from the window, her cold expression revealing no emotional ripples. She walked out of the already empty classroom.
“Why are you still not going home so late?” Lei Tianyi’s deep, dark eyes flashed with anger, glaring at the petite figure, his coldness devilish and frightening.
“The sunset is infinitely beautiful, just near dusk,” Leng Youlan glanced at the figure behind her. She suddenly thought the poem was beautifully desolate.
“What nonsense are you talking about? I’m asking why you’re not going home after school?” His eyebrows were tightly furrowed.
Leng Youlan looked at the figure that had just appeared, stopped walking, and raised her hand to smooth his furrowed brow. The fist immediately loosened, grasping her delicate hand.
She knew she should escape, but emotions once again controlled her. She didn’t like his frowning look and didn’t want to see him suppressing his anger. She unconsciously reached out, and by the time reason returned, she had lost the chance to escape, her heart craving warmth.
Under the sunset, they walked hand in hand on the campus path, their faces now showing unusual emotions because of the warmth in their palms.
The already silent campus had two black sedans parked at the entrance. Two young men leaned against the front car, their expensive suits wrapping their tall bodies.
A charming woman stood by the other car, her subtle smile captivating countless men’s hearts.
Watching the hand-in-hand couple walk out, the three stood up straight, their eyes showing surprise and confusion, but no one dared to speak.
“Qi, come drive!” “Yu, organize the documents and send them to me by midnight.” “Xiu, take her home.”
He coldly issued commands while directly sitting in the back of the car, ignoring the woman who dared to break free from his hand.
He was as cold as himself, created by money and power, while his own coldness came from hatred towards his closest kin, an extreme longing for warmth.
“Yi, will you spoil me?” She suddenly wanted to know her position in his heart.
“Of course I will spoil you! And I’ll make you the happiest woman” His words carried an undeniable determination.
“Why? We’ve just met, haven’t we?” Leng Youlan was shocked by his overly matter-of-fact attitude.
“Because you are my girl, you will be my most cherished sister.” He wanted to reassure her, and being a sister was the best reason to spoil her, but there was a hint of unease in his heart.
Sister, yes! The sunset had long fallen. It was time to go home, to her own home. Her heart was calm, though cold, yet familiar and reassuring.
[Volume One: Chapter Eight – Love, Memories]
Xiu gazed at the dazzling figure beside him. She was still beautiful, her smile charming, yet that smile belonged to anyone. He disliked her false smile, knowing it was her mask, and in the organization, everyone had their own mask, with wounds beneath.
His bright eyes were full of love. He knew from the first moment he saw her that he was attracted to her smile, unable to suppress his desire to approach her and understand her.
