Chapter 493 always be returned (2/2)

”At the time, I wasn't the leader of Fate and he wasn't the leader of Black Jade.”

Due to them not being leaders and living in different countries, they only met a few times since her paternal grandfather and Fei Tao's father were friends.

When she took over Fate after her paternal grandfather's passing, she met the boy more and more. Of course, it was only because every time the former leader of Black Jade visits her, he would bring the boy along.

That was how their relationship grew more, since Fei Tao reminded her of Ji Jingxu.

Thinking of the past, a very faint smile curls on her lip. However, the look in her bluish green eyes held a dim glimmer of light out of sadness.

”Many think the former leader of Black Jade passed away due to overdose in drugs, but that was not the case. He was murdered by someone.”

The person made it look like Fei Tao's father had used a bad batch of drugs and died from it.

However, only those close him knows that the man is not one to use drugs in any means. Even in the past when he is sick, he would seek out her paternal grandfather for medical herbs.

After his passing, the leader position for Black Jade became vacant as there were three people fit for the position.

Fei Tao was too young and didn't want anything to do with the underworld as he had seen too much, so he was not one of those three people as they were all his uncles.

As the fight for the leader position continued, Yue Ling did not take any part in it as it had nothing to do with her or Fate.

But that was until someone out of the three people decided it was a wise choice to try and kill Fei Tao.

With him being the only child of the former leader, he was a hinderance in their way.

The boy nearly escaped death and ran from Imperial with his father's righthand man to City Z in search for her. The two people knew that once they found her, they would be safe, and it was the truth.

With her and Fate as their shelter, no one dared to lay a finger on them.

When they explained the details to her, only God knew how angry she was.

Fei Tao was only twelve and those bastards wanted him dead when he didn't want anything to do with the underworld.

She told him that if he wanted, he has her support if he becomes the leader of Black Jade. However, the young boy back then said he didn't want to be the leader.

The only thing he ask is that she helps him find his father's murderer.

Which she did and it turned out to be Fei Tao's eldest uncle who forced the drugs into his father causing the man's death.

Once the boy learned of this, it was then that he decided to become the leader. Even if he was young and didn't know how to be a leader, he will learn.

And with the backing of Fate, that was how Fei Tao became the young leader of Black Jade.

He had left four years ago, to settle the debt of the murderer of his father.

By the time Yue Ling finished explaining the past, they finally arrived home.

Lu Tian drives the car through the dark metal gate and Yue Ling turns away from the window to look at the aloof man.

”My relationship with him is that of an older sister to her younger brother. Nothing more and nothing less.”

As the car comes to a stop in front of the house, the engine turned off. She reach a hand to him and pinch his chin.

Turning him to face her, she leans in and gives him a kiss on the lip.

”So Mr. Lu, you ate vinegar for no reason.”

A soft chuckle escapes her lip and she opens the door to step out. She did not see the look on his face as Lu Tian was more speechless than ever due to her sudden kiss.

His eyes followed her white figure walk towards the house before he follows after her with a mischievous smile.

Just as Yue Ling opened the door, her body was swiftly swept from the ground and carried in Lu Tian's arms.

”Tian!”

She yelp in surprise. However, afraid she would fall, her arms quickly wrap around his neck and looks at him.

”You—”

Before she could say another word, her lips was captured by the man until he was satisfied and pulls away.

He gives her a smile and continues inside the house.

”A kiss should always be returned.”
