Shua ~ Suddenly, a strong beam of white light shot out, causing the two of them to be unable to open their eyes.

"What's going on? Who are you? Why are you still on the lighthouse so late? " An enquiries in English with a strong local accent sounded.

"..." That's what happened. " After the two of them explained, the other party's cautious eyebrows gradually relaxed.

Ling Yao and Hai Xiao Min looked at each other. No one thought that their playing sounds would really play a role, and that the guard of the pagoda would be drawn over to check the situation.

"Alright, I understand. Sorry, I didn't check you guys out one last time and locked you guys inside. There's a small hotel on the other side of the mountain. I'll bring you guys over for a night." The watchman said.

"No need, we want to go down the mountain." Ling Shang said.

"Going down the mountain in the middle of the night? This is not as easy as it is during the day, come over and take a look. " The watchman led them to the top of the hill and pointed down into the dark forest. "There are no lights on the way down, and your wife is injured. You might as well stay for the night. Come down in the morning!"

Wife!

Hai Xiao Min was shocked by the way they were addressed. Thinking about how they were hit by each other just now, she could not help but feel her ears burning. No wonder they mistook them for a couple at the first glance.

It was unknown if it was because Ling Yao did not notice this, or if he did not feel that there was a need to go through so much trouble to correct it, but as he looked at Hai Xiaoshan, a thought flashed across his mind.

Hai Xiao Min understood that if it was Ling Yao, he could stay, and leaving the mountain in the middle of the night should not be a problem. The trouble was her, she said that she wanted to return to Saiya.

A trace of guilt flashed across the depths of Hai Xiao Min's eyes. He deeply felt that he was a burden.

"I'll stay here …"

"We're going down the mountain, please give us a flashlight!"

Before she could finish her words, Ling Yu spoke in an even more forceful tone.

"But …" Hai Xiao Min frowned worriedly and wanted to argue with him.

Ling Yao interrupted him once again with determination, "But what?! No matter how hard it is to walk on the road, I don't want you to go. Anyway, I'm going down the mountain. Do you want me to go along with you?"

Just like his cold attitude, it made Hai Xiaomin feel uncomfortable listening to it, but also moved her heart.

She could not think of any reason why he did not descend the mountain in the middle of the night. The only possible explanation was that she had a reason to rush back!

At this moment, she couldn't tell if she was being sentimental again, or if he just happened to want to go back to the boat.

As for that line along the way, it just happened to prove that it was hard to walk on the road and didn't want to walk on it!

"Lower the flashlight a little, don't put it near my eyes …"

Hearing that, Hai Xiaoming lowered the flashlight a bit.

In the pitch-black mountain forest, aside from a flight of steps leading downwards under the light, it was pitch black.

Ling Yao carried her down the mountain as if he had brought something along the way. It was just that he had exchanged the item for someone else.

Going down the mountain was easier than going up the mountain. However, the journey up the mountain had consumed a lot of physical strength, so Hai Xiaomin was not sure how good he would feel. She specifically requested that she not bring her walking stick, although throwing away the money was a pity, but at least it would lighten the burden.

It was a long way down the mountain.

"Ling Yao." Hai Xiao Min leaned his head on the man's shoulder and shouted softly.

"Hmm?"

She chuckled, "I feel that any woman who marries you in the future will definitely be very happy!"

"…" Ling Yao was silent for a moment, then said sincerely, "That may not be the case, it might be a disaster, and that woman might regret marrying me."

"Are you joking?" To be able to marry Ling Yao was the dream of many women. To have a man who was almost perfect in every aspect to be their husband, they would laugh themselves awake even in their dreams.

"Ha ha ~" Regarding this, Ling Yao only smiled and led the way.

When they arrived at the pier, most of the boatmen had already rested. Ling Shang had spent several times the amount of the ship's money just to get a boatman who lived in a small town to agree to take them there so late.

It was already midnight when he returned to the Saiya. There were still people who hadn't returned yet.

Ling Yao had been helping her to walk to the door of her room. Hai Xiaoming was about to say goodbye when she saw a man walking around nervously in front of her room.

Ling Yao had spotted the other before she had and stopped a few meters away.

"Yue Xiang?" Hai Xiao Min was surprised. He was already this late, was there anything he wanted to talk to her about?

"Little Min! You're back! " When he saw her, the nervousness on his face disappeared without a trace and was replaced with a joyful smile. He walked up to her with a few steps, and seemed to be grumbling but also clearly more concerned, "It's so late, and you haven't come back. No one answered your phone, and I thought you were in trouble …" "Eh, who is this mister?"

Only then did his attention fall on Ling Yao.

"Oh, I accidentally twisted my leg and lost my phone. It's all thanks to Mr. Ling for sending me back." Hai Xiao Min took out his arm from Ling Yao's hand at the right time and stood up straight.

A hint of displeasure flashed across Ling Yao's deep eyes. She was afraid of being misunderstood, which was why she was in such a hurry to sever her relationship with him?

Hai Xiaomin was indeed afraid of causing a misunderstanding. On the boat, he was a respected and respected guest, while she was just a small waiter. She was not afraid of others saying that she was a patron to the rich and powerful, but was afraid that it would affect his reputation.

Looking at Ling Yao, Wang Yuexiang was slightly startled. It was actually him!

"Oh, I see. Thank you so much, sir!" He politely extended his hand to shake.

Ling Yao acted as if he didn't see him, and only swept him indifferently from head to toe. It was obvious that he didn't want to shake hands with him. He smiled coldly: "No need, she has already thanked you."

It wasn't you who helped him back, why are you thanking him for her!?

Wang Yuerang smiled awkwardly and retracted his hand.

Hai Xiao Min was a little surprised. What was going on with Ling Yao? He seemed to have an opinion about Wang Yuexiang?

It didn't look like they knew each other.

At this time, Ling Yao also ignored the others and said to Hai Xiao Min: "Rest early."

In front of others, she couldn't really ask him what had happened, so she could only reply: "It's been hard on you today. You should get an early rest as well."

"Yes." He nodded and turned to leave.

Turning around, Hai Xiaoming said apologetically to Wang Yuexiang, "Sorry, Yuexiang, he may be too tired …"

"It doesn't matter, these people who have status all have their own tempers. I don't mind." Wang Yuexiang laughed.

His seemingly generous tone revealed a faint hostility towards Ling Yao. The words he spoke seemed to separate the two of them from the so-called rich people, implying that they were the only ones who were on the same side.

Wang Yuexiang didn't know about Hai Xiaoming's past. If he knew about her background, he definitely wouldn't say such things in front of her.

Fortunately, Hai Xiao Min didn't care too much about it. She only smiled and said: "I've made you worry. I'm fine. It's already so late, you should go back and sleep."

"Your feet …" Wang Yuexiang hesitated.

Hai Xiao Min looked down and reacted, smiling, "I've already seen a doctor, there's no major problems."

"That's good." Wang Yuxiang breathed a sigh of relief, then said good night to Hai Xiaomin and went back to his room.
