Although still worried, Liao De had no other option but to listen to him. To show his sincerity, he even transferred 500,000 to Luo Yingbai on the spot, as a fee for personally exploring the Ning New District.
Chapter 53: Shi Mei’s Heart Rises
Liao De drove the two to the university city. Before reaching the Ning New District, his driving speed gradually slowed down, presumably remembering Liao Zhongdao’s fate and feeling scared to approach.
Luo Yingbai understood and said: “We don’t know the situation ahead, Mr. Liao.”
Please stay here, we’ll go.”
Liao De was very grateful and repeatedly thanked him. In contrast, Xie Hua, who came along, was not hesitant and followed Xia Luo down from the car, saying: “Masters, can you take me along?”
Xia Jian Ning said: “No.”
His tone and expression were cold, preventing Xie Hua from saying anything further.
Luo Yingbai said: “Miss Xie, don’t mind. My junior brother is right. We don’t know the situation inside, and it would be dangerous for you to go.”
Xie Hua looked disappointed but understood and walked away, looking back several times.
Luo Yingbai and Xia Jian Ning walked shoulder to shoulder onto the ruins, sighing: “Waiting for four years, and her fiancé married and had children in another world. What a pity for this girl.”
Xia Jian Ning said calmly: “If you love someone, you’ll love them for a lifetime. No pity.”
Luo Yingbai asked: “Will you be like this in the future? Even if the person doesn’t like you?”
Xia Jian Ning replied: “If they don’t like me, I’ll work hard to make them like me. My love for him will not change.”
Luo Yingbai saw his seriousness, and his smile faded. For a moment, he felt an uncomfortable feeling.
But he and Xia Jian Ning had been walking here for quite a while, confirming that the people around them were not ghosts. Luo Yingbai glanced back at their original path and found it was obscured by mist.
He had a thought, pretending to want to buy something, and walked to a nearby stall, picking up a pair of hairpins to examine. He discreetly pinched them and immediately confirmed they were made of paper.
The female stallholder was enthusiastic, asking, “Young man, want these two for ten yuan?”
