Chapter 51: Do You Still Want to Meet Him? (1/2)

Translator: Peggyan and Ruriko

Leng Yihuang was worried about her at home. He had originally wanted to go there together with her, but Lin Xiaomi refused him.

It was the Lin family, after all. He couldn’t stop her from going there and also knew if he went there recklessly, he might cause more troubles for her.

Staying at home, he was concerned that she would be bullied.

Having lost his patience, he stood up and walked outside, seeing her car downstairs.

He walked forward in a hurry and saw her sitting in the car in a daze without any reactions.

He pulled the car door open and said, “You’re back. Why not go home?”

She kept silent.

Suddenly aware of her bad mood, he said in a soft voice like coxing her, “What’s up? Are you tired? I’ll take you in.”

As he spoke, he stretched out his arms to hug her horizontally and whispered in her ears with a smile, “A princess’ hug.”

However, she didn’t react to him and even wasn’t shy.

As the smile on his face faded away, he strode toward home with her in his arms.

He directly placed her on the bed and thought that she felt sad, for she couldn’t take Little Nipper back.

He then coaxed her while stroking her face, “All right. If you like it, I’ll buy you another one, okay? I won’t let anyone snatch it from you again this time, okay?”

However, as soon as he touched her face with his hand, she painfully hissed and turned her head around.

It was dark out there, and her face was blocked by her hair, so he didn’t notice that.

He immediately smoothed her long hair away and saw her swollen face. With a livid face, he shouted outrageously, “Who slapped you?!!!”

She avoided his hand by siding her head, leaving herself enveloped by darkness and full of sadness.

“Lin Xin’er?” asked he.

But, Lin Xin’er acted like she didn’t hear him, so he asked again, “Jiang Hui?”

She finally said, “Never mind.”

She lifted her hand to stroke her cheek that was still in pain. “I’m really fine. It doesn’t hurt anymore.”

It looked like she was deserted by the whole world. He couldn’t help getting his heart ached.

He could even imagine what a miserable life she led in her childhood when she was too young to protect herself.

Seeing that she refused to talk, he didn’t ask her again but remembered this slap!!!

He went to the kitchen, used a towel to shroud a piece of ice, and placed it on her cheek.

Painful and numb, she closed her eyes, tears streaming down from her eyes’ corners.

Her tears were like concentrated sulfuric acid, dripping on his heart without any warning.

He had no resistance to her tears and coaxed her awkwardly “Alright, don’t cry, okay? I’m here and will avenge you, en?”

When people were extremely sad, the more others coxed them, the more they couldn’t help crying.

Perhaps his voice was too gentle, so she couldn’t stop her tears.

He wiped her tears over and over again.

It felt like he was drowning in her tears.

He was silently there with her.

She sat on the bed with her arms around her legs and her head in her knees. After a long time, she said in a hoarse voice, “He’s back.”

“Who is back?” asked he without realizing what she meant.
