Chapter 109

If Ling Yucheng hadn’t said anything, even she herself wouldn’t have realized that when she faced Jiang Tingzhou, she acted so close and relaxed. With any other boy, she would never subconsciously make the gesture of reaching into the pants pocket.

But because it was Ling Yucheng who she was facing, She nodded and apologized for her actions, “Sorry, uncle.”

“And one more thing…” Ling Yucheng stopped halfway through, as if he didn’t know what to say.  Su Meng raised her eyes with a little doubt and glanced at Ling Yucheng. Such an inadvertent movement, made by Su Meng, who was so charming and natural, seemed full of vitality and fragrance.  Ling Yucheng fixed his gaze on her slightly swollen red lips, and immediately moved his eyes away swiftly. 

“I don’t know why, looking at her red lips that had obviously been ravaged, felt so dazzling to me.”

He remained silent for a few seconds before he asked her a question in an elderly tone, “Are you dating Jiang Tingzhou?”

She was shocked, then shook her head gently implying that they weren’t dating.  On seeing her reaction, he was slightly relieved, “Since there is no relationship, you should stay away from Jiang Tingzhou. People like him are unreliable. If you are to be in love, you should find a guy who is more reliable and could give people a sense of security.”

At the KTV,  Jiang Tingzhou returned to Zhang Ming, the troublemaker and his girlfriend were taken away by the police. Zhang Ming grabbed Jiang Tingzhou’s arm and looked at his better complexion than before and his lips turned more rosy and shiny, so he asked ambiguously, “Okay, did you do something bad just now?”

Jiang Tingzhou gave him a look implying that Zhang Ming totally knew what happened.

Zhang Ming said in a low voice, “I’m going.”

In the very next second, he threw out a big basket of questions, “Who just was that? Was she your girlfriend? Your girlfriend is so beautiful, no wonder you were facing the confession of Li Ningzhi, the commander. It’s amazing, brother, I don’t usually see you like that.” 

Zhang Ming thought Jiang Tingzhou was a crook at first, because if a beauty like Li Ningzhi would confess to him, he would surrender in minutes. However, Jiang Tingzhou was called a true man for resisting her charm. He also thought that Jiang Tingzhou was also the kind of superficial and good-looking man who liked to play games with girls where he would advance and retreat in a relationship. But later, Zhang Ming discovered that Jiang Tingzhou was really not interested in Li Ningzhi.

Jiang Tingzhou didn’t answer any of his questions but Zhang Ming followed him and continued with more questions, “Hey, is she from the Imperial Capital? She looked so sweet. When did you two meet? How old is she? What is her name?”

Jiang Tingzhou looked back and glanced at him lightly, “Don’t worry about my woman.”

Zhang Ming choked.

Su Meng arrived at her home, the old couple Ling were already asleep. She and Ling Yucheng said goodnight and were about to go upstairs. Ling Yucheng was hesitant to speak to her. But in the end, he couldn’t say anything. All kinds of complex and unspeakable emotions were mixed together in his heart, and he had never experienced such a feeling.

Ling Yucheng felt that he needed some time to sort his feelings, just like doing scientific research, to extract and isolate that complex emotion little by little, and then carefully analyze what those emotions can be called.
