"Are we going to remain indifferent and watch him become stronger day by day?"
"Dearest, we can't stop him from becoming stronger …" It was obvious.
"Maybe we can hire that kid. He definitely doesn't want to see that kid out of control!"
"Humph!" Do you think that he will help you outsiders to bully your own grandson? "
"It's better than not doing anything at all, right?"
"Stop arguing! "Let's see if there's any better way."
"I don't care. In any case, when the situation goes out of control, it won't be my family that will suffer. You'd better think about it carefully!" This contentious conversation ended with the lady who took the lead and left. The others also fell silent and then all left the video chat.
It was late autumn and the night in San Francisco was chilly.
Hai Xiao Min was wrapped in bed, thinking about the phone call she just hung up with her mother and father, and her heart felt empty.
The day after she was rescued and regained consciousness, she asked for her cellphone from the medical staff. She made an overseas call to inform her parents that she was safe. When she heard her weak voice, she immediately burst into tears and sobbed for a long time.
It could be imagined just what kind of anxious heart her parents had held when waiting for news during the period of time she had disappeared. All day long, they would wash their faces with tears …
Every day after that, Hai Xiaomin would make overseas calls. Sometimes, she would make direct video calls to reassure the two elders.
When she mentioned that the flower shop at home had already chosen the address, Mother Hai asked her when she could go back to take a look. Father Hai then scolded her on the side, saying that she should properly rest there. When her injuries recovered, she would come back by herself, so why urge her?
As if she had awoken from a dream, she quickly wiped away her tears and nodded, telling Hai Xiaomin to take care of her body in the Mi Kingdom. When she returned home, she could tell them in advance to prepare food and give her a baptism.
Hai Xiao Min's eyes instantly filled with tears.
He felt that she really was an unfilial daughter. Her parents were already so old, and they were still afraid for her, but the doctor had previously said that she and Ling Yao had been poisoned by a snake before. Although their lives were no longer in danger, they still had to stay and observe for a few more days just in case.
Hai Xiaoming silently calculated that in a few days, no matter what, she would be returning home …
At this moment, she suddenly heard a loud bang. She was frightened and sat up. She looked towards the door and saw that her door had been violently slammed open!
A tall and long shadow coldly stood at the doorway. A long windbreaker that could protect him from the cold and pull the wind was draped over his body. Behind him, several bodyguards were performing their duties … Just pretend you didn't see anything!
"Ling Yao, you …" Watching as the person at the door strode in and walked to the bed, Hai Xiao Min's surprise turned into a loud shout with a pale face, "Hey, hey! Ling Yao, what are you doing? "
Ling Yao did not sleep at all in the middle of the night. He led people to blast her door, aggressively barging into her room. Without saying anything further, he scooped her up from the waist, preparing to carry his along with him!
"Didn't you say that you would sleep over at my place? I'll wait till midnight. If you don't come, I'll have to look for someone myself! " The man said seriously, which was an explanation for his heroic actions.
Hai Xiao Min struggled but to no avail as she cried, "That was just you mentioning it on your own, I didn't agree to it."
"Is that so? I don't remember you saying no. " He didn't seem to remember that it was just a normal situation, and without any hesitation, he picked up the man and walked out of the room, turning a corner and entering his own room that was just a wall away.
"Let me go! Ling Yao, put me down! "I can walk by myself …" Hai Xiao Min howled all the way. Weren't he unable to get out of bed due to his illness two days ago? Moreover, his leg was still injured, why was he carrying her so quickly?
When she was placed on the huge bed that had unknowingly been replaced with twice the width of the one before, Hai Xiaomin was a little dazed. Thinking of the declaration that someone casually mentioned earlier in the day, she subconsciously trembled.
Looking at the man standing in front of the bed, she wanted to cry but had no tears to shed. "Mister Ling, has anyone told you that you are now a bandit?"
Ling Yao lifted the corner of the blanket, climbed onto the bed, and began to pull at Hai Xiao Min's blanket, saying calmly: "The education I received, the definition of robber, is completely different from what I am doing now."
Hai Xiao Min quietly clung onto the corner of the blanket, making a last desperate struggle: "forcing my way into a single woman's room in the middle of the night and forcefully abducting her, I think I can even consider calling the police."
"Then you may face a penalty of 24 hours in custody." Finally, Ling Yao found the clue that he couldn't break open Hai Xiaomin's small arms and legs. In the end, he was unable to convince the man, and her defense line was completely dismantled and thrown to the side.
"Why?" Hai Xiaomin, who was wearing a hospital gown, asked unwillingly.
Ling Yao took off his brand-new soft duvet and covered Hai Xiao Min with it. "Because you called the fake police, it's not a crime to share a bed with your woman in Mi Guo."
His woman...
Hearing this adjective proclaiming her ownership again, a strange feeling rose in her heart. Unlike last time, when she was wrongly accused of being a mistress and he used this identity to help her, even if she was moved, she knew in her heart that it was just a temporary measure.
However, there weren't any obstructing factors at the moment. His declaration seemed to be in accordance with his intentions.
Ling Yuan pulled her down and laid her down, and Hai Xiao Min obediently snuggled into his embrace. She could only hear the man's comfortable snort, "This feeling is right."
"What feeling is right?" She looked up strangely.
Ling Yao's large, warm hands held her face, his fingertips stroking the soft hair on her forehead as he asked in a low voice: "Did you sleep well these past few days?"
Instead of answering, he asked a strange question.
"It's alright …" "It's just that I have a problem with bedtime …" Hai Xiao Min had never had the nerve to bring up this matter to others. After all, when she went to someone else's place, saying that she wasn't used to sleeping was more or less impolite.
Hearing her words, Ling Yao smiled.
Lying on a bed?
Every time she slept with him, even on the open beach, she would sleep like a pig.
His high IQ and EQ allowed him to capture some unusual information at the first possible moment. If the problem with her bed recognition was not fake, did it mean that as long as he was there, she would be able to sleep in peace?
"I might be able to overcome this problem tonight!" If this was true, then it was just like when Gu Xiaotao had casually mentioned him back then. He was her best medicine!
Little Min's big eyes stared at him, not sure what he was thinking.
Ling Yao's firm chin rubbed against her soft hair, and then the topic continued: "It seems like I'm used to sleeping with you on the island. Coming back these past few days, I always feel like I'm missing something."
