Chapter 462: Headache

Translator: chuchutrain Editor: DavidT, Rock

Looking at the appearance of this peerless beauty in his arms, Ling Tian could not bring himself to berate her and could only resort to helplessly asking, ”Then, does your family know that the reason you escaped was to find me?”

”Of course they don't, why would they even care about me?” Xiao YanXue choked with sobs as she spoke, ”But they should be able to guess…” As she spoke, she suddenly timidly gazed at Ling Tian, stammering, ”You… you won't chase me back, will you?”

Upon thinking about this embarra.s.sing and sensitive problem, Xiao YanXue could not help but feel some panic . While she had affection towards Ling Tian currently, she had never placed him in her heart all those years prior, and by the time she had a change of heart, they no longer had any contact . Furthermore, with her grandfather going forth to annul the marriage, it was something that any family, let alone the man itself, would feel humiliation over! With his current status, and with so many country-toppling beauties beside him, why would he even bother about herself, let alone take her in and shelter her?

If Ling Tian chose to ignore her, then what was she to do?! Or perhaps, if he decided to send her back, then what would she choose to do? Xiao YanXue could not help but be indecisive about this matter . The Ling Tian right now was in danger, deep in the enemy's territory at Bright Jade City . Her presence here would no doubt increase the chances of him being revealed . In such circ.u.mstances, would he really take her in?

Based on his character, he would definitely not give up on her, but could she trust him to do it? Her cause of concern for him was because he was in danger, and now she had become a part of his danger, a burden for him . How could it have become like this?!

Ling Tian rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming . He could only tepidly reply, ”There's no need to worry . Since you've braved through the countless mountains and rivers to reach here, you definitely have your reasons! As for chasing you back, that's not something I will do . However, since you've appeared here, what do we do from now on is a huge question . ”

Xiao YanXue only heard the first sentence, immediately heaving a sigh of relief as she lightly rubbed the Blood Phoenix Jasper Bracelet while letting out a brilliant smile . She replied in an offhanded manner, ”Let's take things one at a time . How would we even know what's going to happen?”

”Eh… isn't that my family's Blood Phoenix Jasper Bracelet? You've always been wearing it?!” Ling Tian naturally recognized his own family heirloom, and this object concerned an enormous gamble, though it wasn't important to Ling Tian anymore at this moment .

”This bracelet was given to me by Grandma Ling, of course it would accompany me everywhere!” Xiao YanXue replied seriously, but she was too embarra.s.sed to say the next sentence, which was, ”This Blood Phoenix Jasper Bracelet is the only thing that links me to you, why would I not bring it around with me?!”

Ling Tian bitterly smiled when he saw her pretentious innocent look, just like a little girl . He could only groan to himself and decided to open up this topic, ”Have you ever thought of what would happen when your family decides to carry out their plan of world domination? At that time, your family is destined to become enemies with mine, and at that time… what would you do? How would you solve the problem?”

Xiao YanXue hugged her knees, lightly placing her chin on her kneecaps as her brows slightly knitted . She calmly replied, ”I don't know, I really do not know what to do…” Whenever she tried to face this problem directly, Xiao YanXue could not help but feel indecisive . Even if her family treated her as such, having such a utilitarian att.i.tude towards her marriage, and how unjustly they treated her, they were in the end still her family, her loved ones . This was something she could not erase .

After pondering about it for a long time, she could only give up and sigh, replying in a deflated tone, ”I can only do things one step at a time… besides, aren't you at war with the Yu Family now? But isn't Miss BingYan still happily staying in your place? Would having one more there give you any disadvantage?!” As she spoke to this point, she suddenly felt extremely aggrieved, and pouted hatefully, ”Could it be that you're this shallow and indifferent?” As she spoke, she lightly rubbed the Blood Phoenix Jasper Bracelet on her wrist again, her face full of bitterness .

Ling Tian almost collapsed with her words, and upon seeing how she gently caressed his family heirloom with such a tender expression, as though she was hinting about something . She was just one step away from saying, ”Look, your family heirloom is with me, and Grandma Ling once said that this item was meant for the Ling's daughter-in-law!”

Ling Tian was speechless . Could it be that the morals of this world had suddenly reversed? How could a lady be so direct when talking all of a sudden?!

What sort of situation was this? Almost all of his enemy families had their daughters involved in some sort of messy romantic affair with him, really a huge mess!

From an outsider's point of view, Ling Tian seemed to be living a life of bliss, surrounded by peerless beauties . But in actuality, the only woman he possessed was Ling Chen . Only Ling Chen would be able to follow Ling Tian for his entire life, without regrets or complaints as a close confidante, not even asking him to be her official husband!
