Liu Li's attack was very fierce, while her words were straightforward.
Ling Yun wasn't naive either. He understood the innuendo behind Liu Li's seductive words.
Ling Yun treated Liu Li's family very well, to the extent that anyone would think that he was doing it to court her. Tang Meng wasn't the only one who thought so, Liu Li felt the same way.
Liu Li had been thinking about this for a very long time. From the moment she met Ling Yun, she already started thinking.
She thought over and over, to the point that her brain was about to explode. She could only come to one conclusion, which was that Ling Yun was trying to chase her.
Why would someone go so far to save a person? How could a person be so nice? If Ling Yun didn't tell her the truth, it was only natural that Liu Li would have such a misunderstanding!
Had Liu Li actually fallen for Ling Yun? The answer was yes! This feeling blazed within her. She felt that Ling Yun was such a good person, comparable to a dragon who descended from the skies and transformed into a man just to save her.
Once this feeling blossomed, the fire within her blazed so greatly that it was simply irresistible. She was even willing to leave her morals behind to pursue it.
If you want it, I'll give it to you. If you don't raise it, then I will!
Even if it meant letting down her own man, what's done was done. This was a situation nothing else could resolve.
When Ling Yun was out at sea for over a month, Tang Meng worked for her family busily, caring for them in every possible way. It was to the point that Liu Li's family felt terrified.
Even if the sky dropped salted crackers for free, the number of crackers that were falling felt a little too much for comfort. Liu Li's family couldn't accept them with peace of mind.
Furthermore, Liu Li wasn't the only one who felt this way. Just a week ago, Granny Li took advantage of the time when her son was out to secretly call Liu Li to her house. They had a very heated discussion about this issue.
Granny Li wasn't ignorant.
She said one sentence which almost embarrassed Liu Li to death. However, Liu Li found out that her mother-in-law actually thought a lot deeper into the situation than she did.
Granny Li didn't blame Liu Li, Ling Yun, or her son. She felt that this was all fate's doing.
"Your mother-in-law has met countless people, and she knows that Ling Yun is a nice person…
"To say the least, if your mother-in-law was at your age, she would have probably felt the same way…
"If he really did all this because he likes you, treating our family nicely as well, I will leave it up to Yunxiang to decide…
"Whether Ling Yun likes you or not, nobody else can ask him about this. You can only rely on yourself. If he really likes you, in two months, I will ask you and Yunxiang to file for divorce after you've given birth to the child…
"Apart from that lousy brush and book, there is nothing else the Li family can offer anymore…"
Liu Li heard this and felt embarrassed. She blamed her mother-in-law's blunt words.
At that time, she almost lost her temper with her mother-in-law. However, as soon as Granny Li finished her words, she simply turned around and left to buy groceries. She stopped bringing up that subject again after that.
Liu Li knew that thinking about Ling Yun this way wasn't right, but she couldn't win against the burning desire within her heart. Hence, after her mother-in-law seemingly deliberately took her husband back to her old home, it led to the situation today.
However, it was all a big misunderstanding.
Ling Yun had never felt that way towards Liu Li. He thought of Liu Li as nothing more than an older sister. After interacting with her for such a long time, he naturally developed this feeling toward her.
But this feeling was definitely not a loving relationship between a man and a woman, Ling Yun had no shortage of women. Each of them was of high grade, comparable to a goddess. There was no reason for him to snatch Li Yunxiang's wife.
Facing Liu Li's burning eyes and fiery words, Ling Yun just let out a smile as he avoided eye contact.
"Miss Liu, listen to what you're saying. We're family, why would I be afraid of you?"
Liu Li's breathing hastened as her face turned bright red. She looked at Ling Yun's arm and exclaimed, "Wh-why… aren't you helping me get up?"
Ling Yun pretended not to understand. "Get up? Where are you going?"
Liu Li shouted, "Where else can I go? Obviously, to check up on my body!"
Ling Yun replied, "Miss Liu, there is really nothing wrong with you, why do you insist on going the extra mile?"
Liu Li said, "You could cure Yunxiang's dizziness and the scar on his head. You're a miracle doctor, so what's wrong with helping to inspect your big sister's body? Give me peace of mind. Hurry up, let's go!"
Liu Li continued as she used one hand to push herself off the sofa before reaching to grab Ling Yun.
Ling Yun said helplessly, "We can also do a check-up here…"
Liu Li replied anxiously, "I'm uncomfortable sitting here, help me onto the bed…"
In such a situation, it seemed like doing a check-up was inevitable. Ling Yun silently sighed, clenched his teeth, and said, "Okay."
Liu Li had a shy expression as she grabbed onto Ling Yun's hand and headed towards the bedroom. The villa had two floors, but due to her large body, she stayed in the bedroom on the first floor.
The two pressed on with a lot of pushing and pulling before they finally reached Liu Li's bedroom. There was an eye-catching Simmons bed covered with a bright red blanket.
"This stupid body, help me lie down quickly…"
Ling Yun carefully helped Liu Li lie down.
Liu Li said in a sweet voice, "Give Big Sister a good overall body inspection, and make sure to do it thoroughly."
With those words, Liu Li's pretty face began blushing.
At this point, the meaning behind Liu Li's words was obvious. If it were someone else, they would already have pounced by now.
However, Ling Yun wasn't just anybody. He gave Liu Li an appreciating glance and turned to look in another direction.
"I've taken a good look, Miss Liu. There is absolutely no problem with you!"
Ling Yun secretly unleashed his Mystical Dragon Howl to improve Liu Li's Qi and suppress her love. At the same time, he stretched out his left arm. His two fingers seemed as if they grew eyes. They clamped onto the dress in front of Liu Li's chest, moving his hands at lightning speed while he covered her body with each movement.
Liu Li opened her eyes in surprise, letting out crystal tears. "Brother, do… do you think Big Sister looks good?"
"Big Sister has already reached this point, do you still not understand my feelings for you?" Liu Li, in that moment of embarrassment, let out her words with sorrow.
Ling Yun finally turned his head, staring at Liu Li as he smiled. "I understand."
After hearing his reply, Liu Li became very shy and replied with her bright red cheeks, "Then why are you still acting like that over there? Why… why don't you hurry up and come here?"
"J-Just today… I am yours, nobody will know, y-you… just have to be gentle…"
Ling Yun's eyes were clear, and he smiled and shook his head while holding his ground.
"Is it because you don't know how? I… I can teach you…"
Ling Yun broke out in a sweat. This kind of play, how would anybody not know?
"Miss Liu, we cannot let down Brother Yunxiang, I cannot let down the Li family, and most importantly, I cannot let you down…" Ling Yun said positively.
Ling Yun wasn't a gentleman, but he definitely knew how to differentiate right from wrong!
He suddenly turned his waist, helping Liu Li tidy up her skirt and taking the opportunity to help her up. "Miss Liu, why are you suddenly acting like this?"
Liu Li sat upright with Ling Yun's assistance and said worriedly, "Brother, you have given me so many benefits, a villa, a car, money. Don't tell me it wasn't because you liked me."
Ling Yun finally realized that Liu Li misunderstood his intentions.
For every problem, there was always a solution. Ling Yun laughed. "Big Sister is so pretty and virtuous, a diligent person who works hard for her family and respects her elders. Of course, I like you."
"However, I have always treated you as a big sister. It's not the kind of love that you're thinking of. Make sure not to misunderstand that…"
As Ling Yun spoke to Liu Li about respecting her elders, her pretty face let out an apologetic and awkward look.
"Miss Liu, get up. Let's talk outside the house…"
Ling Yun helped Liu Li stand and could feel that Liu Li's petite body resisted, unwilling to move.
Even though Liu Li hadn't achieved her goal, there weren't many chances to be with Ling Yun like this. Obviously, she was unwilling to leave.
Ling Yun let out a gentle laugh and took out a Night-Luminescent Pearl from thin air.
As if he were performing a magic trick, he placed his hands in front of Liu Li's face and opened them slowly.
"Miss Liu, this is a gift for you."
Under the light, the crystal Night-Luminescent Pearl reflected the beautiful face of Ling Yun and Liu Li's excitement. Her eyes were instantly attracted by the beauty of the Night-Luminescent Pearl. She didn't blink even once.
"Th-This… is the Night-Luminescent Pearl!" Liu Li said in shock.
"Haha, if Miss Liu says it is, then it is. In any case, I wouldn't give this to any ordinary person…" Ling Yun smiled meanly.
"This is too precious, I can't accept it…"
Even though her body wasn't taken, she received such a great gift. No matter how ignorant she was, Liu Li knew that this Night-Luminescent Pearl was priceless. She dared not accept this gift, yet she had no reason to turn it down.
In front of such a precious jewel, there were very few women who would be able to refuse it.
"Keep it, we'll continue our chat outside…"
Ling Yun laughed as he placed the Night-Luminescent Pearl gently into Liu Li's hands.
