Chapter 56 (2/2)

Ling Chen knitted his brows. “Why are you so hell-bent on dying?”

“As long as I’m alive, they definitely won’t let me off. If they find me, I’ll suffer a fate worse than death.”

“Who is this ‘they’ you speak of?”

“They are… No.” The kidnapper shook his head frantically. “I cannot reveal their identities… I can’t… O-or else they’ll kill me even more miserably.”

When speaking of these people, a man who was able to murder his companions in cold-blooded was actually ashen and left trembling with fear.

Seeing that the kidnapper was unwilling to divulge any other information, Ling Chen had no interest in asking as well. After all, he was but an outsider. As for where these kidnappers came from and why they wanted to kidnap Xiao Hua, those details had nothing to do with him, he would leave it to Xia Mutong to figure out the details.

He made a call to 110, who would be rushing down to the scene and carried Xiao Hua back to the Santana.

After getting in the car, Xiao Hua looked at Nanrong Wanqing, who was sitting in the front passenger seat and a sweet, innocent smile bloomed across her chubby face. She obediently called out, “Hello, Big Sister.”

Looking at this adorable girl, the frost on Nanrong Wanqing’s face dissolved and she revealed a slight smile. Ling Chen, who had been watching the whole scene, was sent into a trance. He had been beside this woman for so long, yet he had never seen her smile before. So, when she smiles, she’s actually so radiantly beautiful. Hundreds of flowers seemed to come into bloom and all the beauty between the heavens and earth had coalesced into one person.

“Brother, is this your girlfriend? She’s so pretty, just like sister Xiaozhu.” Xiao Hua made a face full of innocence as she said that.

Hearing her words, Ling Chen smiled and glanced at Nanrong Wanqing. The little lass is actually good with words. It seems like I saved her life in vain.

Nanrong Wanqing did not seem to notice the teasing glint in Ling Chen’s eyes and corrected, “Little sister, you’re wrong. I’m not his girlfriend. Your elder brother is just my employee.”

“Big Sister, why is that so? Big Brother is so outstanding, is it because you look down on him?”

“This…” Nanrong Wanqing did not expect the adorable young lady in front of her to pose such a difficult question to her. She wondered, was this still a seven-year-old girl? The gears in her mind were churning, as she looked at Xiao Hua’s rosy little face, Nanrong Wanqing revealed a mesmerizing smile.

She seriously explained, “This is not a matter of me despising him. There are two types of relationships in the world. One is love at first sight, while the other is a relationship cultivated through time. Any relationship requires affinity. If two people were meant to be with each other, then regardless of the adversities, they will definitely pull through. If they have no affinity, then no matter how hard they try, their efforts would be futile. Little sister, you are still young, and one day, you’ll understand what I’m saying.”

Xiao Hua gave a radiant smile. “Big sister, I know everything that you just said. I was just casually asking. Since you’re not Big Brother’s boyfriend, then I want him!”

“You want him?”

Not mentioning Nanrong Wanqing, even Ling Chen was stunned by her words. Aren’t young girls today too bold? She’s so young, but she actually knows how to snatch men. Ling Chen eyed the dazed Nanrong Wanqing and he grinned, proudly boasting, “Ai, guess there’s nothing to do about it. I can only blame myself for being too charismatic, attractive to both the old and young.”

“Big Brother, I think you misunderstood.” Xiao Hua slyly added.

“What did I misunderstand?”

“I will never want you. I only wanted to introduce you to a girlfriend.”

Ling Chen stared at Xiao Hua with interest, playfully asking, “Is it? Then who were you planning on introducing to me?”

“Sister Xiaozhu, of course! Big Brother, last time at the dojo, you already saw how pretty Sister Xiaozhu was, she definitely would not lose out to this Big Sister here. Sister Xiaozhu is the best! She will always listen to me. If you want, I can arrange a date for the two of you.”
