She didn’t know how long Darren had been standing there and what he heard.
“Darren… Darren, why are you here?” Lingjiao forced a smile while she was extremely worried inside.
“Not long.” There was no special expression on Darren’s gentle face.
Lingjiao felt a little better inside. “Darren, let’s go home.”
Lingjiao could only leave so that Darren would stay away from Zhan, the farther the better.
“You just came back. How about you take a break or stay here tonight?” Darren suggested.
“I went out for a week and I need to see our parents now that I’m back, I also bought a gift for them. I want to give it to them as soon as possible.” Lingjiao stepped forward, carefully observing Darren, and then reached out to link arms.
“I haven’t eaten with grandma and our parents for a long time, so I will be staying with them today,” Darren decided.
Lingjiao was anxious and wanted to say something, but Darren spoke first, “Don’t you want to spend time with grandma and our parents?”
“I… Of course, I do.” Lingjiao could only nod.
Jingtong looked at them and decided to let Jianmin off for now. She said in a low voice, “We’ll have a talk later.”
Jianmin clasped his hands together, begging her not to quarrel in front of their son-in-law and save him face.
Jingtong glared at him fiercely before turning to Darren, “Darren, Lingjiao, is your wife, keeps coming back. It’ll start gossips and it’s disrespectful to your parents. How about you take Lingjiao back for now and spend time with us a few days later? Jianmin and I won’t mind something trivial like this.”
“My parents won’t mind either.” Darren’s attitude to staying was very firm, “Besides, I am here.”
Jingtong couldn’t find a reason anymore for Darren to take Lingjiao back.
“Don’t stand here anymore. Go in and see grandma.” Darren took the lead and walked into the house. After Lingjiao was stunned for a while, she hurried to follow him.
“Darren, wait for me.”
Jianmin got out of the car at this time. Jingtong stepped forward and pulled on his ear. “Look at what you did! We didn’t even know when Darren came!”
Jianmin felt embarrassed in front of Zhan because of what Jingtong was doing. He pulled on Jingtong’s hand and said, “If you have something to say, then say it nicely. People will laugh at us if you fight me physically.”
His words hinted at something. Jingtong looked in Zhan’s direction. Zhan stood there as if it had nothing to do with him that Jingtong couldn’t help but get angry.
“Zhan, does our family owe you? You didn’t come back with any good intentions, did you? You also deliberately bought the same car as Lingjiao and deliberately said those things when Darren came, right?” In Jingtong’s eyes, Zhan was the culprit for everything.
“I’m telling you, our family won’t believe a word you say!”
Their family didn’t include Zhan, so he would always be an outsider.
“It doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not. The important thing is to plant a seed of doubt in his heart.” Zhan didn’t care whether Darren believed it or not. “And you guys should also have a taste of this torture,”
“Zhan, I’m telling you, I won’t let you succeed and soon I will kick you out of this house!” Jingtong was very confident.
“Then let’s see whether I stay longer, or you kick me out sooner!” Zhan confronted Jingtong without backing off.
“Okay, let’s see who wins in the end.” Jingtong smiled. She pointed at the red Ferrari and said to Jianmin, “Sell this car right away! None of the Xiao family’s money can be spent on him.”
“When you sell it, remember to transfer the money to my account,” Zhan was still joking.
“Zhan, how can you be so shameless?”
“Compared to the parents who don’t even recognize their son, compared to a sister who steals someone’s fiancé, who is more shameless?” Zhan scolded them.
“Don’t forget, I am your son. Even if I am shameless, I inherited it from you!”
“You…” Jingtong was so angry that she could not speak.
Zhan ignored him, turned to open the door, took Fei out, and calmly walked back into the house, leaving Jingtong and Jianmin staring at each other.
Jingtong looked at Zhan’s back and said, “You know what, since you were driven out of the Xiao family five years ago, you were removed from the family. You are not one of us anymore!”
“And please make an announcement on the newspaper. It would be better for us to break the relationship.” Zhan was not annoyed at all and even offered advice for them.
Jingtong and Jianmin would never make an announcement. Zhan’s grandmother had returned back. If she knew it, they would be scolded and would reveal the scandal they had tried hard to press down five years ago.
Sure enough, Zhan was not the one he used to be five years ago. He had his own plan now.
Jingtong was so angry that her chest ached. She looked at Zhan who had gone inside the house and could do nothing to him. She could only vent her anger on Jianmin.
“See what you’ve done? The mean boy has the gift of gab!” Jingtong reached over and pinched Jianmin, “Why did you buy him a car? Why don’t you tell me? I was just out for a week and he makes a mess of the house! Do you want to piss me off?”
“I’ve tried my best to reject him, but my mom has made up her mind. What can I do?” Jianmin explained, “I can’t watch my mom to stab herself with a fork.”
“She is in her dotage and can’t tell who is right and who is wrong. She is old enough, and shouldn’t cause us troubles.” Jingtong complained.
“Jingtong, that’s my mother, would you please stop saying that?”
Jianmin was afraid of his wife, but he was still very filial to his parents. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have surrendered to his mother.
“I didn’t go too far. I just hope she does not add to the troubles; otherwise, how do we drive away this wench!” Jingtong bit her lips, not knowing what to do.
“I’ve got a plan.” Jianmin leaned over to Jingtong. “I’m buying this car for a condition.”
“What do you mean?” Jingtong didn’t understand.
“I have to buy the car anyway. I told him that when I buy him a car, he must marry Hepeng. As soon as he gets married to Hepeng, he’s out of the Xiao family, and we will be at peace.” Jianmin raised his eyebrows to ask his wife for praise.
“Is that your way? And pay so much money in this?” Jingtong rolled her eyes at him.
“Nothing ventured, nothing gained. When he marries Hepeng, we’ll get the money back from the Feng family and that will be more than that of a car.” Jianmin thought his idea was perfect.
Jingtong thought for a moment and patted Jianmin on the shoulder, “You are smart. But we have to get Zhan married to Hepeng as soon as possible.”
“That’s what’s on my mind, too. So, I’m thinking of inviting Mr. and Ms. Feng and Hepeng to our house and then we can talk about their marriage.” said Jianmin.
“That’s a great idea.” Jingtong put her hand on Jianmin’s arm, beaming, “Just let this brat be happy for a few more days. After he marries Hepeng, he has to depend on his own.”
Jingtong suddenly thought of the child, “Who is the child that Zhan just held?”
“The bastard born five years ago.” Jianmin snapped.
“What? How dare he bring it back?” Jingtong shouted.
“Well, well. They won’t be here much longer anyway. Just think of them as uninvited guests.” Jianmin patted Jingtong on the back of her hand, reassuring, “Let’s go.”
***
In the living room, Darren and Lingjiao sat on the sofa.
When Zhan entered the room with Fei in his arms, Darren was attracted by Fei.
Lingjiao felt worried as she saw Darren was interested in Fei.
She reached out nervously and grasped his arm. “Darren…”
Darren was not affected by her at all, nor did he take his eyes off Fei.
She was a pretty, lovely little girl with a pair of big clear eyes. Her eyes were so pure that they put complicated adults at shame.
Was the girl… Zhan’s daughter?
Was this child that Zhan gave birth to five years ago?
She was a girl, so beautiful and lovely.
Her appearance was supposed to be a reminder of Zhan’s betrayal and shame. He was supposed to hate this child, but why didn’t he hate her at all, and even like her?
What was wrong with him?
He had hated Zhan for five years, and he should hate her kids, too!
Fei also felt that Darren was staring at her all the time. “A gentleman should not stare at a girl like that,” she said.
“Sorry, you’re so cute.” Darren could not help gently saying to the child.
“It’s so sweet of you to say so honestly.” Fei smiled, showing two white and small canine teeth. “Who are you?”
“I…” Darren was a bit surprised by this question and did not know how to introduce himself.
“Fei, he is your uncle,” Zhan said. “That’s your aunt. And she’s your grandmother.”
Jingtong and Jianmin just came into the living room.
Fei saw Lingjiao and Jingtong with guarded eyes, as if they would be going to hurt her mother and herself.
Jingtong was upset to see Fei’s looking at her like this. “What’s wrong with you, girl? How rude you are.”
“You’re all bad people. You bully my mom.” Fei said loudly.
She stood in front of Zhan with her hands in front of her, defiantly defending her mother.
“Fei, be good.” Zhan pulled Fei over to sit on the couch, “Baby, there’s no one in this world that can bully mommy. Because mommy…”
“The bravest and strongest of all.” Fei continued.
With a knowing smile, Zhan reached out and gently pinched the tip of her nose.
“So, let’s be good-tempered people, and don’t take those people in heart. We have to be polite.” Zhan did not want adult affairs to affect the children and tried to appease Fei’s mind.
Fei nodded and said to Jingtong, Darren and Lingjiao, “Grandma, uncle and aunt, nice to meet you. I’m Xiao Fei. You can just call me Fei.”
“And who is your father?” Darren asked directly.
Darren regretted asking this. How could he be curious to know who the biological father of the child was, the man who made Zhan betray him and give birth to Fei!?
He shouldn’t want to know. He shouldn’t care!
No matter who Zhan had the child with, no matter who the father of this child was, what he should care about was his present life and happiness.
“I’m just asking. It doesn’t matter if you don’t tell me.” Darren eventually gave up the question.
Nothing about the child concerned him.
He should have hated Zhan, and the person who had caused their relationship to break up.
Fei looked at Zhan, as if saying that this man was strange. Zhan reached out and touched Fei’s head and smiled to tell her that it was all right.
The mother and daughter were sitting opposite Darren.
Darren eyes tried to move away, but they fell on them involuntarily.
Zhan and Fei smiled at each other. The warmth between mother and daughter moved him. It seemed that this was the most beautiful painting in the world, which made people indulge in it.
Zhan’s smile was still pure and warm, just as it had been in his childhood, and just as it had been when he fell in love with him…..
Thinking of the past beautiful memories with Zhan, Darren had a mix feeling.
He began to wring up his long, beautiful eyebrows, and the palm at his side was closed into a fist, and a painful look rose in his eyes.
Zhan did not find anything different about Darren, but Lingjiao, who was sitting beside him, took all the subtle expressions of Darren into her eyes.
The expression of Darren staring at Zhan looked as if he had gone back to the past. Although it only lasted for a moment, she still caught it.
They had been separated for a whole week, but Darren did not look at her with such sentimentally attached eyes. What Lingjiao was afraid of finally happened. Darren’s feelings for Zhan had not completely disappeared after five years.
Her heart ached, and she was miserable. Bitterness and jealousy aroused in her heart at the same time, and there was a deep hatred for Zhan.
“Darren, are you tired? Are you hungry?” Lingjiao was still very considerate to Darren, and managed to be a good wife.
Darren’s attention was pulled back from Zhan by Lingjiao, “Yes. I am a bit hungry.”
“Elena, isn’t dinner ready yet?” Lingjiao dared not be dissatisfied with Darren and could only find an excuse to draw his attention.
Elena went forward, “Just wait for the old lady.”
“Come on, Fei, let’s go get great grandma to dinner.” Zhan took Fei’s hand and his mood was not affected at all.
Darren glanced in Zhan’s direction again, Lingjiao pulled his arm and said, “Darren, let’s go to the dining room and wait for grandma.”
***
They went to the dining room, and Zhan helped his grandmother to sit down.
No one said much at the table, as if all that had just happened did not exist.
“Darren, this is your favorite beef brisket with tomato, have some more.” Lingjiao helped him with the dishes.
“Well, I will do it myself.” Darren was still gentle, “Just enjoy yourself.”
“I am your wife, and it is my duty to take care of you.” Lingjiao heard Darren’s concern, smiling, “I’m very happy that I married you.”
“You look thinner, Have more.” Darren took a drumstick for her.
“Thank you.” Lingjiao looked down at the drumstick. The smile in her eyes dimmed a little. She thought he would say the same thing.
But Darren did not say so, which made her uneasy and astringent.
Did he not love her?
No, he wouldn’t. They’d been loving each other for five years.
Those affection couldn’t be pretended.
But why did she always feel that Darren was much indifferent to her today.
It was all because of Zhan being here. He distracted Darren. He seduced him, so Darren would be so cold to her.
Why Zhan could live such a happy life since he was kicked out of the Xiao family?
Why didn’t he disappear, so that they would never meet again?
And did Darren hear what he said?
Full of questions made her unsettled and she felt the dishes tasted stale.
No, she couldn’t be knocked down by Zhan like that. Otherwise, she would be a joke.
She must firmly grasp her own hard-won happiness. The one who could laugh at the last must be her.
Lingjiao put away her complicated emotions and cheered up herself again. She picked up fish and cleaned all the thorns, and then put it on Darren’s bowl.
“Darren, try this. It’s delicious.”
She wanted Zhan to see that their relationship was real and he couldn’t break it.
They loved each other deeply.
Zhan didn’t pay any attention to Lingjiao’s childish means of showing affection, or even looked at her. He just treated Lingjiao as air.
Instead of eating himself, he would help grandma and Fei with some dishes as if there were only three of them at the table.
They indeed were talking and laughing.
“Fei, how are you feeling in your new kindergarten?” Grandma asked Fei lovingly.
“Good, I met a lot of new classmates and new friends.” said Fei slowly, nibbling on the chicken wing.
“How do you get on with them? If anyone bullies you, tell your great grandmother, and I will go and reason with them.” Tingyu said affectionately.
“I’m so cute, they all like me.” Fei was confident of herself.
“You narcissistic girl.” Zhan was indulgent in her reproach.
“No, I am indeed a beautiful girl, and very beautiful.” Fei was super confident.
“Really? No. I don’t think so.” Zhan glanced at Fei, then shook his head.
“My mother is so beautiful. If his daughter is ugly, would his daughter make him lose face? Great grandmother, do you think so?” Fei’s words made Zhan and Tingyu laugh.
Who was she like? She was so talkative.
“Yes, yes, your mother has been beautiful since he was a child, so his daughter naturally is pretty, and was even more beautiful.” Tingyu couldn’t agree more.
“Great grandmother says the fairest thing.” Fei was smug.
“I don’t know from who did you learn all this. “Zhan reached out and pinched Fei’s little face.
“From handsome uncle.” Fei quickly mentioned Yibo.
***
At the same time, Yibo sneezed.
Yibo took a tissue and dabbed at his nose. What was wrong?
“Mr. Wang, have you caught a cold? Shall I call Dr. Luo check it out?” Paul was a little worried about his health.
“No, don’t worry. I am just a bit busy this period of time and a bit tired.” Yibo recently flew to several cities in North America. He hadn’t had enough rest. So he was tired.
“You must take care of yourself.” Ming put a bowl of soup in front of Yibo. “This soup is good for your health. You should drink more of it.”
“Thanks, Paul and Ming,” Yibo threw the tissue away. “I’ll be careful.”
Yibo drank the soup gracefully. It tasted warm and comfortable with a hint of Chinese medicine.
“Don’t you all look at me, have your dinner.”
Although he was cold by nature and said few words, he showed his kindness to them by his actions. Paul and Ming, for example, had been with him since he moved to his own mansion ten years ago.
They took good care of him and cared for him more than his parents did.
Although they were the housekeeper and cook here, in Yibo’s heart, they were his family.
Instead of letting them eat alone, he ate with them, just like the family.
Paul and Ming were also grateful and loyal to Yibo.
“Don’t hesitate to let us know if you’re uncomfortable.” Paul reminded him.
“Yes, the sooner you find it, the sooner you solve it.” Ming added.
“I’m really fine. I’m just tired.” Yibo just came back this afternoon, Now he had a headache.
“Go upstairs and have a rest. Put away the work today. Work would never be finished, just do it tomorrow.” Ming looked sadly at the tiredness in Yibo’s eyes.
“Yes.” Yibo curled his lips.
After dinner, Yibo wandered around the garden before he went upstairs. He should have a good sleep tonight.
After taking a bath, he dried his black hair and went to bed. He glanced at his phone. It was 20:30. It had been a long time since he’d gone to bed so early.
Suddenly Fei, whom he hadn’t spoken to since his last call, came to his mind
He wondered if Fei thought about him these days. And Zhan…
He tried to call Zhan, but he deleted the number he had already typed in his cell phone.
Well, forget it. Think about it tomorrow.
He put out the light and went to sleep. As he was so tired, he soon fell asleep.
In the dream, Zhan and Fei were having a good time with him and even heard Fei call him “Daddy”…
***
Fei, in the bedroom, was sitting on the sofa obediently. She pouted her pink lips, watching Zhan carefully.
“Why did you say that at dinner? Zhan asked after ten minutes of silence..
“Didn’t I tell them who handsome uncle is?” Fei pursed her lips, feeling aggrieved. “I won’t let them know even they want to. I just want to whet their appetites and make them think…”
Everyone was asking who the handsome uncle was after Fei had mentioned him at the dinner.
Of course it was Yibo, but she didn’t tell anyone.
“Fei, let the grownup deal with grown-ups’ business, Kids stay out of it.” Zhan knew what was on Fei’s mind.
Everyone in the family, except grandma, had shown hostility toward him, and Fei could feel it.
She mentioned Yibo only to show her family that they had a handsome uncle to rely on, and that they were not easy to be bullied.
“Mom, I know I am a child and cannot get involved in adult things, but I love you, and don’t want you to be bullied. If handsome uncle is here, he’ll protect us.” In Fei’s mind, Yibo was the strongest man she could rely on, “I haven’t seen handsome uncle in a while. I miss him.” Fei said.
Zhan looked at Fei’s innocent eyes and felt very sad.
“Mom, don’t you miss him?” Fei blinked her eyes.
Zhan shook his head.
“Really, mommy?” Fei ventured to ask again.
Zhan shook his head again.
“Mommy, why do I miss him so much and you are not? Mom, you’re not in love with handsome uncle.” Fei’s eyes lit up as if she had discovered something new.
“When did I say I loved him?” Let alone true love. What did a little kid know?
“Handsome uncle said we can be together as soon as we become. relatives. And it’s not possible for me to be with handsome uncle… I have my Taehyung now. Isn’t it true that only mommy and handsome uncle can get married? So we can be a family.” Fei said thoughtfully.
Words failed Zhan. Fei seemed to regard Yibo as her family.
“If… I mean, what if mommy and Mr. Wang become family and then find that being family is not happy and that we have to separate?” Zhan tried to put his daughter to the test.
“Not happy and get separated? But you haven’t tried being family together yet. If you try and find you are really not happy…then get separated. As long as you don’t regret your decision.” Fei is open-minded.
Zhan reached out and touched her head, “So you’re willing to let your handsome uncle go?”
“Of course not, but I don’t want mommy to be unhappy.” Fei’s answer was so heartwarming.
Zhan held Fei gently in his arms, and he felt so warm in the heart that the tip of his nose got sour.
This was the most precious gift from God, and the angel of salvation.
And the man who was saved did not know that his savior was by his side.
Now the last trace of sadness of giving up Darren had disappeared at this time.
He finally let it go, and forgot the man who brought him pain.
“You won’t cry by then?” Zhan smiled.
“Well, just cry for a few days.” Fei quipped.
“Eyes are not beautiful if they are swollen with crying.” Zhan reminded her.
“I was born beautiful, I am still beautiful when my eyes are swollen.” No one was more confident than this girl.
“How narcissistic you are.”
“Mom, I miss handsome uncle. I want to call him.” Fei suddenly changed the subject.
Zhan stared at Fei earnestly. She was not joking.
He took the phone and checked the time, saying, “It’s getting late. Your handsome uncle may already be asleep.”
“Give it a try.” Fei took the phone and dialed Yibo’s number.
Yibo’s cell phone was unanswered.
Zhan then persuaded Fei, who was beginning to feel sleepy, to try again tomorrow, and then took her to take a bath and rest.
He stayed with Fei, lulled her to sleep with a bedtime story, tucked her in, and gave a gentle kiss on her forehead. And then he went downstairs to see granny.
Every night he went to see his grandmother when Fei was asleep. Zhan would talk to his grandma when she was awake.
Or he would sit quietly with his grandmother, which had become his habit.
And then he would go back to his room to rest.
As he went upstairs, he happened to meet Lingjiao, who was carrying a soup.
“Brother, can’t you sleep?” Lingjiao got in Zhan’s way, blocking him in the hallway.
“A good dog is out of the way.” Zhan’s eyes were sharp.
The sharp words made Lingjiao lose the color on her face and gnash her teeth in anger.
But she calmed herself down as soon as possible and smiled, “Brother, Darren has been very fond of soup of red dates with lotus seeds and white fungus these years. I prepare it for him every day. He has had regular check-ups for the past five years and his health is very stable.”
“Brother, I have good news for you. Darren and I are going to have a baby. A boy as handsome as him, I’m looking forward to it. After we give birth to the child, he will grow up in the love of parents and elders. We will give him everything he wants, especially fatherly love.”
“I don’t think your daughter will ever realize that. It’s a very poor thing.”
“Brother, of course, if you don’t turn your back on sick Darren, you won’t be what you are like today.”
“Enough?” Zhan was expressionless, not being angry at all.
“Brother, Darren’s embrace is very warm. When he holds me, I can fall asleep quickly. It’s amazing.” Lingjiao not only satirized Fei for not having a father, but also hurt Zhan, “Zhan, you are in lack of a man so you couldn’t fall asleep. Didn’t you and Mr. Hepeng go on a blind date last time? I think he’s very good. If you have a child and you have a bad reputation, don’t be so picky. is the heir to the Feng family and it is his first marriage. If you marry him, you don’t have to worry about the rest of your life.”
“Since you’re so jealous, why don’t you marry him yourself? If you and Darren divorced, it is just a second marriage. Anyway, you have no child now and might have a better chance to be with him. This is a good chance, seize it.” Zhan snapped at her.
“Zhan, don’t be so sharp! How dare you tell me to divorce Darren? You have an axe to grind! How evil you are!” Lingjiao scowled and her hands that held the soup began to shake.
What she feared most was losing Darren, and she would not divorce him even if she died.
“So sister, why do you want me to marry Hepeng? Everyone knows what his character is; don’t tell me you don’t know it!” Zhan moved closer to Lingjiao, who took a step back. “So what if I don’t have a man? You will give me Darren to warm my bed?”
“Never!” Lingjiao looked stern, and she was not weak anymore, “He’s my husband. He can only warm my bed. You don’t deserve it!”
“You think I’ll value it?” Zhan laughed at her stupidity. “I already have someone to warm the bed. Just look forward to it.”
Zhan ignored Lingjiao, who bit him like a mad dog when she saw him, and stepped past her toward his bedroom.
At the moment she walked past Lingjiao, the tray and the soup that Lingjiao was holding fell to the ground and smashed at her feet.
“Zhan, stop!” Lingjiao called Zhan, who walked on without looking back. “Why did you break the soup I cooked for Darren? Why?”
“I have no time to watch your act.” Zhan still did not look back.
“What’s the matter?” Darren, hearing the noisy, came immediately, and his eyes fell on Zhan who was facing him.
“Darren… I accidentally dropped the soup that I prepared for you. It has nothing to do with my brother. He didn’t bump into me on purpose.” Lingjiao acted pathetic after Darren arrived.
“I’ll do it right away.” She squatted down and scrambled to pick up the broken bowl, but was cut by hands and the blood flowed out, “Ah… it hurts…”
Hearing that, Darren came forward, squatted down and took hervhand, “Don’t touch it. It doesn’t matter. Let servants clean it.”
“But this is your favorite soup. How clumsy I am, Don’t blame Zhan.” Lingjiao tried to speak good words for Zhan, “It’s my fault that I married you when I knew my brother loves you… It’s my fault…”
And then she looked up at Zhan with tears in her eyes and said, “I don’t complain him, but I don’t allow you to vent your anger on Darren. Zhan…”
Lingjiao couldn’t help crying any more. She looked so weak and cries so hard that any man would feel distressed by her pitiful look.
Darren frowned and helped Lingjiao up, and wrapped her fingers with the handkerchief he was carrying.
Zhan was in no mood to stay any longer and turned to leave.
“Stop!” said Darren coldly.
“Why should I stop when you tell me to, brother-in-law?” Zhan smiled softly and brightly.
That address sent Darren’s ears painful, and made him frown all the more, “Zhan, please be nice.”
“Of course I’m nice.” Zhan looked at Lingjiao, who was leaning against Darren, “You have to remember that you are my sister’s husband and she is the only one who would listen to you. You still have to be like her and call me brother. Have you heard about an elder brother being obedient to his brother-in-law? It is so unbelievable.”
“Zhan, I haven’t gotten even with you for what you have done. What do you want by doing this now?” Darren looked down at the debris, “Don’t go too far. It is for grandmother’s sake that I do not want to mention what happened in those days. It is also to save your face. If you do not cherish it, then do not blame me for being cold.”
“Well, I’d like to see what you would do.” Zhan didn’t mind the threat. “I’ve never seen you like this before, and I’m looking forward to it. Why don’t we talk alone…?”
“Darren, my hand hurts…” Lingjiao, on the other hand, was distraught.
She did not want to and did not dare to leave Zhan and Darren alone.
“Does it hurt? More pain is still to come.” Zhan’s eyes were sharp, “Take care of yourself, my dear sister.”
Zhan left without turning back.
Darren watched his slender back. He frowned with his eyes dimming. He failed to figure out his feeling, anger, hatred or something else…
I hope the author will finish this story. It’s almost two years yet no update
