Chapter 15 - Ling Manning's Provoke
The night was as cold as water, and the pain penetrated his heart.
Jian Qingyan didn't know what she was doing, both of her legs were running mechanically, with rumbling sounds above her head, and not long after, it started to rain heavily, but she couldn't stop it!
She knew that someone was looking for her, but she didn't want to go back. She didn't want to face that man's disgusting face, and she didn't want to face the scene of him together with her sister!
The rain came down quickly, and the cold liquid fell onto her thin pajamas. Soon after, the petite figure shivered in fear.
"Jian Qingyan!" The shouts became clearer and clearer, Jian Qingyan gritted her teeth, but seeing that she could not dodge, her eyes suddenly lit up!
A black Land Rover drove over from the distance. She made up her mind and rushed to the center of the road. She stopped the other party with her life on the line. "I beg you, let me …"
Please, let me get in the car, please, give me a ride. But before she finished speaking, she was stunned.
The car stopped and the man in the driver's seat revealed half of his face. "Qingyan?"
Jian Qingyan felt a little awkward, wasn't this man the pure and clean Ling Xingzhou at the wedding that day?
"What are you doing?" Ling Xingzhou looked at her from head to toe in shock. Seeing the group of bodyguards rushing towards him from behind, he immediately opened the car door: "Let's go in first."
Jian Qingyan had no other choice. In the next moment, the Black Land Rover left the bow and sped away like an arrow.
"Thank you." As the clean and fresh towel was draped over her body, Jian Qingyan softly said those words.
Her curvaceous body was faintly discernible under the transparent pyjamas. Ling Xingzhou looked at her slightly deeper into her eyes before finally letting out a dry cough and quickly increasing the temperature of the air conditioner.
"I have a villa over here. It's already so late, if you don't mind." After brewing up a little, Ling Xingzhou carefully opened her mouth. Seeing her attitude, Jian Qingyan could not help but laugh bitterly, and expressed his thanks once again.
Even though Jian Qingyan who had nothing at all was treated with such cherishment, in this cold night, it was still a warmth that came from the heart.
"It's alright. After all, I'm also very sorry for causing you to act like this." Ling Xingzhou turned the steering wheel again and said.
Jian Qingyan forcefully curled the corner of her mouth.
How could she blame anyone else for a relationship that was already so fragile? She was too naïve.
When he thought about the exhaustion, Jian Qingyan thought that he had not slept at all. But in the end, when he reacted, she was already lying down on the black bed.
"I woke you up." After placing her on the bed with that actions just now, Ling Xingzhou said with a clean smile, feeling guilty.
"Why am I here?" Jian Qingyan struggled to sit up, and looked at all the places that resembled a master bedroom in front of him.
"This is a house under my name. When I'm in a bad mood, I like to stay here." Ling Xingzhou explained as he skillfully touched her forehead.
"Not bad, I don't have a fever. People who get wet in the rain are the easiest to catch a cold. I got someone to boil some ginger soup for you. Since you're awake, wait a bit before you drink some."
"Thank you." Looking at him, Jian Qingyan revealed the first smile of the past few days.
"What are you thanking me for? We're friends." Ling Xingzhou caressed her hair and the two of them smiled at each other. They didn't talk about that night at the nightclub as if they had a tacit understanding.
Just at this time, the maid brought the ginger soup up. Jian Qingyan knew it was for him and wanted to go and receive it, but unexpectedly, a large palm landed right in front of her, revealing a warm smile under Jian Qingyan's embarrassed gaze: "The one that just came out of the pot is a little hot, we can drink after it has cooled down."
"This is the first time I've seen Young Master so concerned about a woman that Miss thinks you are." The servant teased him and successfully got Jian Qingyan's face.
"Ling Ju." Ling Xingzhou looked over unhappily, but maybe it was because he did not have enough prestige, the maid left with a disapproving smile.
However, the atmosphere became awkward due to one person missing.
Ling Xingzhou looked over and realized that Jian Qingyan had closed his eyes at some point in time. His face was covered with a distance of thousands of miles away, and the pale white corner of his mouth was tightly pursed.
"Then rest early, I'll go out first." Touching his nose, Ling Xingzhou got up. Jian Qingyan opened his eyes, but felt guilty.
She knew that her attitude wasn't good, but that scarred heart of hers didn't have the strength to receive new feelings.
She was too tired.
The night went without a dream, and maybe it was because of Jiang Tang, but Jian Qingyan did not have a fever on the second day. When she opened her eyes, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled wryly as she woke up to find that there was a set of clothes on the bedside of her bed.
Jian Qingyan smiled gratefully, picked up and changed, then washed herself and went downstairs. She thought that she would be leaving after disturbing the night, but she didn't expect to hear such a familiar female voice.
"Brother, I heard you brought back a woman yesterday, who is she? "Or I'll tell Dad he won't let you go."
From Jian Qingyan's perspective, Ling Manning's lips were curved in a refined and refined manner, and she nimbly and mischievously sat on the sofa, talking and laughing beautifully.
With such a noble and beautiful posture, this was Ling Manning. It must be hard for her to act like a fool in front of him, right?
"Jian Qingyan." was startled when he saw her eyes, but immediately, the corner of his mouth curved up in a profound smile. He stood up naturally and casually: "I still thought that brother brought back a woman, who was it? So it's you. "
She actually didn't have a trace of guilt in her heart?
It was as if everything was natural to her!
Jian Qingyan was not angry from the start, but she had covered it up well.
"Qingyan." Ling Xingzhou was somewhat nervous as he wanted to welcome his, but he was stopped by his sister.
"What, you still want us to invite you down?" Ling Manning looked at her arrogantly, with ridicule and amusement in her eyes.
Jian Qingyan took a deep breath in and out, and only after a long while did she raise her lips. She went downstairs and walked towards Ling Manning, step by step.
At this moment, she actually had a lot of questions that she wanted to ask. Why did he purposely approach her?
Why did he want to frame me?
Why did he appear so innocent and innocent?
Little by little, his accumulated emotions gradually grew closer and closer to the point where he wanted to explode with it.
However, Ling Manning looked at her indifferently, as if she had never taken Jian Qingyan seriously in the first place!
Did this naïve woman really think that he really wanted to be her friend?
It was worth it to befriend a illegitimate daughter who had been chased out of his home. If it wasn't for Qin Xiu, she wouldn't even bother to take another look at him!
Qin Xiu is mine, no one can steal him away!
She looked at the Jian Qingyan who was about to erupt with a smile, with mockery hidden in her eyes.
So what if she was angry, so what if she was explosive? She didn't think that Jian Qingyan could win against her.
