Chapter 166 – I Love You A Lot (2/2)

“Nothing much, I just feel like I do not really like this place anymore.”

“What happened?” Ai Er gently held onto Lei Yu’s arm and asked in a soft voice.

After he gently stroked Ai Er’s hair, they both entered the room. “I don’t really want to hurt others but there are times when it can’t be avoided. I have to protect the ones who are close to me, so sometimes it’s necessary to target them without prejudice to deal with the issue.”

Ai Er couldn’t really understand what Lei Yu was trying to say, but she still nodded in confusion. Gently kissing Ai Er’s lips, “Go to bed soon, I will head back to my room and cultivate.”

Everything seemed to be concentrated in one area now. On the other side, a Lamborghini sports car was being driven on the open road. Its destination was the other side of the U.S., a small town in the State of Idaho.

Although with his eyes closed, Lei Yu still couldn’t concentrate enough to enter a cultivating state. He simply lay on the ground so that he could completely relax. The direct contact with the cool floorboards under his bare back made him sober up, as he carefully considered how to deal with this family.

Lei Yu wasn’t too concerned when this family concealed their identity and tried to set him up because in a manner of speaking, it had benefited him. But now it was different, right now Hawes had harmful intentions against the closest person to him which made lei Yu reconsider everything.

“Should I give up the cooperation with the Vatican? No! This isn’t a wise path; I can’t screw up all my plans just because of one person’s (Hawes) ulterior motives. Doing this is no different than something that a naive child would do. But I will always worry about Ai Er’s safety if we stay here so what can I do?” Lei Yu was rolling back and forth, his mind coming up with numerous countermeasures but he would then reject them one at a time.

“Donk, donk, donk!” Lei Yu heard knocking on the door. He quickly put on a shirt before opening the door.

“Lafayette?” Lei Yu was surprised when he looked at her face, it was clear she had just recently cried.

“Lei Yu, can I say a few words to you?”

“It’s… it’s too late right now, how about we talk about this tomorrow? Moreover, Ai Er is right next door so wouldn’t it be a bit inappropriate if she finds out?” Lei Yu didn’t want to point out what he had just overheard. After all, Lafayette stood firm in front of her father and displayed her virtuous side. She was now the only person in the Burlinder family that Lei Yu had a favorable impression of.

“I’m begging you, just let me come in okay? I really have something important to tell you.”

After he saw Lafayette’s pleading look, Lei Yu nodded helplessly. “Fine then…”

After entering the room, Lei Yu deliberately left a gap in the door so that it wouldn’t fully close. Standing in front of Lei Yu, Lafayette was looking at Lei Yu’s disheveled clothes before she lightly bit her lips. “I’m sorry Lei Yu; I really do like you a lot.” After saying that, she immediately wrapped her arms tightly around Lei Yu.

“I don’t want to hurt you so I advise that you to let go of your arms.” Lei Yu appeared very calm and didn’t show any abnormal behaviors due to her actions.

“No! I’m not letting go! I only want to be by your side. Whatever Ai Er can do for you, I can also do it as well. I only hope that you will accept my love for you!” Lafayette’s voice was slightly trembling. One thing Lei Yu understood was that Mr. Hawes made her do this. But what method did he actually use to coerce Lafayette into doing it? This was the unknown.
