Li Lei assured him that Master. Zhou is fine. He had been saved by someone, and his injuries were not serious. Only after hearing that did Xia Ling finally get relieved.
After she was released, the severity of the traumatic experience finally hit her. His body was ice-cold, and he shivered a little. He had been bound bashfully like a desirable item waiting to be sold at a high price, he recalled his experiences in his past life when he was imprisoned by Pei Ziheng for a long, dark time. He was also trampled, humiliated, and humiliated not long ago …
His slender fingers were clenched and rolled into balls.
Li Lei noticed the difference in his behavior, so he took out a soft fur blanket and placed it over his bare shoulder. She warmly hugged him and gently stroked his skinny back.
For a while, the two did not speak.
It was very quiet in the helicopter. Only the roar of the motor could be heard.
After flying for some time, he landed somewhere. When Li Lei brought him down, he then realized that they were on the mountain where he had first met him. She carried him as she walked past the parking apron and a large patch of hibiscus roses. Halfway through, the butlers and servants they met bowed respectfully and congratulated them on their safe return as if they were celebrating the triumphant return of their king and queen.
He brought Xia Ling into the bedroom and gently placed her on the bed.
After which, he instructed someone to take some water for him. He then crouched down and personally helped her treat her injuries.
Xia Ling felt a little embarrassed and retreated a little. "I'll do it myself" he said.
However, he gently held her hand and said, “It is not easy for you to apply the medicinal cream yourself. I'll help you do it. ”Despite being rejected, she already used a wet cloth to remove the dirt near her wrist carefully and applied a cream that reduced the swelling.
After that, he did the same thing to his feet.
There were numerous injuries on his legs, all of which were caused by the thin belt of his high heels. Flesh and blood were mixed; it was a terrifying sight. Li Lei's expression darkened. He had a hard time resisting the urge to immediately come out and order Nan Sheng's death. Taking a deep breath, he calmed down a little, wiped the blood off his leg, and applied medicine.
Xia Ling sat on the bed and lowered her head to look at him.
Thats odd. His Great Boss was acting so high and mighty, but he was willing to lower his pride for her and do something only the servants did. His feet were in his arms, and he could feel that he was very careful not to inflict pain on her, just as he was guarding the most precious gem in the world.
There was an inexplicable sour feeling spreading in his heart.
After Li Lei finished treating his injuries, he raised his head to look at him right as he looked at him.
Xia Ling's face flushed red and she awkwardly turned her face away.
"Be my Girlfriend . "He heard Li Lei suddenly say.
She's surprised. Not much time had passed since he asked the same question. Why is he talking about it so quickly? Xia Ling was confused by the words. He remained silent and did not answer immediately.
Li Lei propped up his body and sat by his bedside. He looked at her seriously. “Xiao Ling, be my girlfriend. Next time you have to celebrate your birthday or visit your relatives and friends, I can accompany and protect you. ”
She bit her lips a little. He's right . If he was there, he would feel very safe.
He did not know when those feelings began, but as long as he appeared, he would not feel fear for anything that life threw at him.
But…
He has no energy to love others. Love is like a moth flying near the light, seeking its own destruction. They met each other late. He was a moth that was turned to ashes by the flames of others. Now, he was just an empty and lifeless shell of someone.
He used all his energy to shake his head.
"Why?" Ask with worry. "Am I not good enough?"
The desperation of his words made him worry.
Li Lei could not understand what kind of tragedy had happened to him in the past that made him think that way. He had hired sympathizers to find out more about Xingling's history but did not find anything strange. She guessed that she must have had a deep and important secret that caused her grief that was incompatible with her age as well as her experience.
Is it related to Pei Ziheng?
Only Pei Ziheng could avoid his investigation. In addition, he could also fake his personal details.
Li Lei's instincts told him that the story between Pei Ziheng and him was not simple but ...so what? Right now, he would rather stay by his side than return to Pei Ziheng, who was extremely sharp. Their old love has faded, or at least there is a big gap in their relationship. He needs to seize the opportunity to make her a woman firmly.
"Xiao Ling," he said warmly. “I don't want you to love me. At least before you're ready to love me, you can treat me as usual. Give me a chance to love you, okay? I'll be by your side to protect you and make everyone know that you're my girlfriend so that other men won't get the idea. ”
Let everyone know that you are my girlfriend …
Xia Ling felt her heart ache a little. In his previous life, he had been waiting for another man to say that for a lifetime, but now he suddenly heard it from Li Lei's mouth.
"Do you know what the consequences of that are?" She's staring. “Li Lei, I'm an ordinary person. I come from a humble family and have a humble background. I'm also from a different social class than you. Don't you feel that's so embarrassing? ”
"What makes him ashamed?" Using pure male instincts, he felt that he had vaguely grasped the crux of the matter in his relationship with Pei Ziheng. Thus, he started attacking his opponent and creating chances for himself. "Someone who truly loves you will not want to hide you in the dark and just be an indescribable secret lover. Xiao Ling, I will announce to the whole world that you are my girlfriend. ”
He looked at her for a very long time. "Are you serious?"
"As long as you are willing, I will ask the reporters to announce it to the world. ”
It was a miracle that he hoped would happen for a long time. Just as he had lost all hope, looking back, he realized that his wish had been subtly granted. Xia Ling's nose was somewhat blocked, and she turned her head to wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes.
“Xiao Ling, just say yes. "Li Lei's voice was as gentle as before.
"I'll send you roses, chocolates, take you to the amusement park, and climb a snowy mountain to count the stars with you …"
“I will accompany you to the place you want to go and see the scenery you want to see. ”
“From now onwards, not much can harm you. People can only hurt you because of my corpse! ”
Xia Ling could not help but laugh.
Li Lei became silent. "Is that really funny?"
“Your words sound like movie lines. Also 'on your body'? That's a huge exaggeration. "He couldn't help but look back. His eyes were still slightly red, but he could not help but smile with sparkling eyes.
Li Lei felt slightly aggrieved. “Look, I can also make you laugh. ”
He took her hand enthusiastically. "Be my boyfriend, okay?"
He tilted his head and thought about it. Finally, he lightly nodded.
Li Lei cheered and gave her a hug, happy as a child. He also laughed, but he had mixed feelings. What kind of ending will befall this unexpected romance?
She did not know the answer, but she knew that the sunlight she longed for was right before her eyes …
