Chapter 880 - Live Your Life (1/2)
*Ding dong
The doorbell rings throughout the house as Yue Ling sets the bags in her hands down. She turned in the front door direction, as did Liu Shan and the Liu siblings.
They had just entered the house, so who could it possibly be?
”It's probably Lin Hui.”
Yue Ling casually spoke as she walked to the door. After she received the phone call from Lin Hui, she told him to meet them here. However, before she could take a step, Liu Shan stopped her.
”I'll get it. You stay here with the kids.”
He doesn't wait for a response from her and walks to open the door.
Yue Ling doesn't think much and continues to help Liu Ye, Liu Jingyi, and Jianan unpack the shopping bags.
Watching her take out the items inside, Liu Ye felt embarrassed about all the things they had bought using her money. He and Liu Jingyi opposed the idea of shopping since they had already received enough things, but Liu Shan was adamant they buy more.
He dragged them to multiple stores and purchased anything he thought would fit them. He even took them to look at apartments out of their price ranges.
”Miss Han…”
He stutters her name and swallows a hard gulp to steady himself before continuing his words.
”I'm sorry we bought so many things with your money. I tried to stop Mr. Liu, but he didn't seem to hear us.”
Yue Ling had a shirt in her hands and was holding it up to Jianan to check if it fitted the boy. However, when she hears Liu Ye's apologetic words, she smiles at him.
”You don't have to apologize for this. I gave the task for Liu Shan to do this for you three.”
She turns her head to look at the young man, and her smile widens a bit.
”And you can drop the formality. You can just call me Yue Ling.”
Liu Ye understood her words since she had already reminded him before, but he couldn't help it. She is the savior of him and his siblings. How can they just call her by her name?
Seeing the faint hesitation in his expression, Yue Ling picks up a navy-colored buttoned-down shirt with white stripes. She knew who it was bought for with only a glance and walked over to the person.
She stops in front of Liu Ye and takes his hand before placing the shirt in his hand.
”Also, don't think that I'm doing this because I pity you all. It's something I want to do, and I want to give you all a new life.”
Hearing this, Liu Ye's eyes turned moist with mixed emotions stirring inside him. Only his mother cared about them in his entire life, but after she passed away, everyone turned a blind eye. If not, everyone acted like they weren't there.
”Thank you, Miss…”
He pauses in his words and corrects himself, then looks her in the eyes.
”Thank you, Yue Ling. Thank you so much for everything you've done for us.”
His lower lip trembles, but containing his emotions so he wouldn't cry, he tries to smile.
”I will repay you for everything. I promise.”
Yue Ling stared at him and was reminded of the past when she first met her subordinates.
”I don't need anything in return, but if you insist on repaying me… promise me this.”
She faintly smiles at him and places a hand on his shoulder.
”Live your life.”
She turns her head away from Liu Ye and looks at Liu Jingyi and Jianan.
”All of you. Live the life you want and be happy.”
She looked back at Liu Ye, and this time her smile grew sentimental.
”I will be there every step of the way to help in any way that I can.”
Silence grew after her words, and a sigh escaped her smile. She moves her hand from Liu Ye's shoulders and glances at the shopping bags that had yet to unpack.
”I'll prepare dinner so you three can take a look at the things you bought today.”
She doesn't leave any room for the Liu siblings to speak and head for the kitchen.
Liu Ye watched her walk away, and he clenched his fists. He wasn't doing so because he was angry but because he was motivated.
He swore he would work hard and repay Yue Ling for everything she had given them. He wants to stand by her side like Shan and the others.
Behind him, Liu Jingyi thought the same. Despite the short time they've been together, she saw Yue Ling like the older sister she never had, and she could feel the warmth of a motherly figure.
She, too, wants to do her best to repay her savior.
