He continued coldly, “Is it because I made you leave that boy’s side and come to France with me? My girl.”
Leng Youlan knew if she dared to say yes, Lei Tianyi would completely misunderstand her. But if she didn’t, she might find it difficult to escape tonight.
Should she tell this handsome man with fire in his eyes? No, she couldn’t. She didn’t want him to completely invade her life.
Even more, she didn’t want her sisters to do something foolish for her sake when she eventually left him.
Lei Tianyi angrily stared at the woman before him. “What? Not brave enough to speak? Where’s your previous courage? Hm? Say something! Did you hear me? I want you to speak!”
Lei Tianyi quickly rose and tightly gripped his girl’s neck, roaring to show his extreme anger.
Leng Youlan knew she had thoroughly angered the man before her. The increasingly difficult breathing made her clearly understand she could die in the next second.
But she couldn’t die. She still had many things unfinished. Xushuang’s life was waiting to be saved.
She realized she only had one method now, hoping to recall Lei Tianyi’s rationality.
“Yi, my stomach, the baby, the baby…” She hoped his love for the baby could help her.
But her consciousness became increasingly blurry, and suddenly, her eyes went dark and she passed out.
The sunset’s afterglow spilled into the room, everything was so serene. The golden light mapped onto the pale face of the beautiful woman on the bed, at this moment looking so pitiful.
The person by the bed had tightly furrowed brows, with a clearly worried expression.
The person on the bed made a slight sound, slowly opening her eyes. Her usually lively big eyes now looked so fragile.
“Youlan? Youlan! You’re finally awake.” The tightly locked eyebrows relaxed with her excited words.
Mm.” Leng Youlan’s voice was extremely weak. Her eyes searched back and forth across the room for the figure she longed for.
Lei Jing naturally knew what the madam was looking for. Even she, an exceptionally strong woman, couldn’t help but feel sad for her mistress.
Her nose tingling, tears falling, she cried, “Youlan, stop looking. The master, he, he is not here.”
After the doctor had examined the madam, the master had left, only instructing that he would always be by the madam’s side.
Leng Youlan’s heart was heavy. She didn’t know if it was because of Lei Jing’s tears or because of her words.
She gave a miserable laugh. No matter what, she had achieved her purpose, hadn’t she?
“Xiao Jing, is there nothing wrong with my body?” In fact, she wanted to ask if her baby was alright.
After all, the baby was now her only hope for the future.
“Youlan, there’s nothing wrong. The doctor just said not to let you experience any major stimulation.” Thinking about the reason the madam had fainted, Lei Jing’s tears fell even more profusely.
Still not getting the answer she wanted, “Ah!” Leng Youlan sighed softly and said, “Xiao Jing, don’t cry. I’m asking you, the baby hasn’t been affected, right?”
Mentioning the baby, Lei Jing’s face, covered in tears, finally broke into a smile.
She said happily, “Youlan, the doctor said the baby is especially healthy. But because the baby is just one month old, you need to be extra careful. The baby is still very fragile.”
Hearing that the baby was fine, Leng Youlan’s heart was much more at ease. As long as the baby was okay, it was a good comfort to her.
Thinking that someone was waiting for her, she asked calmly, “Xiao Jing, did anyone look for me today?”
“No one came, but there’s a package for you,” Lei Jing said, seeing the madam had returned to her usual calm self, she truly admired her mistress.
“A package?” It must be that, “Bring it to me to see.”
“Yes, Youlan, I’ll bring it to you right now.”
Lei Jing stood up and brought the package from not far behind her, handing it to Leng Youlan, saying, “Madam, the package has been checked for safety.”
Leng Youlan responded casually, not caring whether it had been checked.
The person who had captured Shang Guan Xueshui was probably wanting to make a deal with her. Before she completed what that person wanted, she would not be in any danger.
Leng Youlan opened the package, and inside was a small piece of paper. She looked at it, a cold smile forming at the corner of her mouth.
She said to the bewildered Lei Jing, “Xiao Jing, let’s go out for dinner.”
“Yes.” Although Lei Jing didn’t know what the madam was planning, as long as the madam spoke, she would definitely comply.
During the days away from the madam, she had missed the exciting life of being by her mistress’s side.
“Miss Liu, this is it. The young master instructed you to go in by yourself.”
Liu Manyun stood in front of the restaurant of a five-star hotel, listening to the bodyguard beside her describe the words of that despicable man.
She glared at the man furiously, saying, “He wants to send me to the man staying in this hotel?”
The man dared not respond. He also didn’t understand the young master’s actions.
“Silence means confirmation?”
Liu Manyun entered the restaurant with a cold smile and said, “Go tell him that from the moment I stepped through this door, we no longer have any affection between us.”
“Miss Liu, the young master he…” Zha ultimately didn’t finish his sentence, because she had already entered the restaurant.
Looking at the resolute figure, Zha muttered to himself, “Young Master, is sacrificing Miss Liu really worth it?”
In the restaurant, Liu Manyun looked at the handsome man sitting by the window, her heart filled with hatred for him.
“That despicable man, actually selling me to someone else and even more infuriating, selling me to someone else so he could marry my best friend. My best friend marrying the person I love most? I don’t want it!”
“Miss, get lost!” the handsome man by the window said coldly.
“Ah? Get lost? Why should I get lost?”
“Can’t you understand human language? I told you to get lost!”
Liu Manyun truly understood this time. Looking at the man before her, she felt that being in an ice cellar would be a hundred times better than enduring the cold aura he was emitting.
Timidly glancing at Zha and others monitoring her, she mustered her courage and said, “Sir, can I sit down for just a moment?”
Lei Tianyi swept his eyes around and said coldly, “Were you forced to come, or are you trying to attract my attention with this method?”
In fact, he was very clear that the woman looking terrified in front of him was forced to come here. He understood this from the looks of those people. But he was not in the mood to be gentle. His girl was still upstairs. He wondered if she had woken up. Thinking this, his deep, dark eyes looked towards the restaurant’s entrance. Why hadn’t she returned after such a long time?
He began to worry that something might have happened to his girl. To prevent himself from losing his mind again, he had left the room before his girl woke up. Lei Tianyi was so worried about his girl that he didn’t even notice the woman sitting next to him.
Cold Youlan looked at Qi’s departing figure and said to Lei Jing beside her, “Xiao Jing, do you know how we can avoid the people guarding the hotel?”
“Youlan, I heard that Xiu took most of the bodyguards and left the hotel early. Apart from Qi, the other people are guarding this floor to protect you.”
“All protecting me here?”
In her worried state, she didn’t realize that Lei Tianyi, like herself, didn’t necessarily need bodyguards given how powerful they were.
Of course, bodyguards were somewhat helpful in eliminating dangers before they could approach, but such bodyguards generally protected from the shadows.
“Yes, Youlan. Actually, the master really dotes on you. Look, the master had Qi bring so many delicious things.”
