Although her tone of voice wasn't out of the ordinary, as if she was just asking a normal question, hearing this question from his ears made him feel extremely sarcastic!
"How can I be so busy with work …" He looked down and saw her small hand under the quilt. The back of her hand was bruised and swollen, with the needle marks of the past few days clearly etched into it.
He reached out her hand to pull it, but when he touched it, Hai Xiaomin retracted it back unintentionally.
However, he was able to sense her cold little hand just by touching it.
Hai Xiao Min retracted her hand and put it under the quilt to warm it up, so Ling Yao did not say anything more, and his eyes dimmed down for a moment before returning to normal.
"I can't see enough and I can't finish my work. Mr Ling, you're such a busy man!" Hai Xiao Min glanced at him with a teasing smile, appearing to be extremely indifferent.
However, the more relaxed and indifferent her attitude was, the more it made Ling Yao's heart clench!
The sexy throat rolled twice, and for the first time he realized how difficult it was to utter: "Are you angry with me?"
"What are you angry about?" Hai Xiao Min laid flat on the bed and stared at the ceiling, lost in thought...
"Are you still not angry? You just woke up and ran away without saying a word. You don't want to see me?" Ling Yao's voice was low, as if he was suppressing some kind of emotion, and a hint of displeasure could be heard in his voice.
Even now, she wasn't even looking at him. Could it be that the ceiling was even better than his?!
Hai Xiao Min was finally willing to look away from the ceiling and onto Ling Yao's face again. She said with a smile, "What's the difference if you want to see or not?"
This sentence was like a needle stabbing into his heart. If he wanted to see it or not, then staying on the 39th floor of the LY Building or Hai Clan's villa didn't have any difference.
What a helpless truth …
Ling Yuan closed his eyes and wanted to explain himself, but Hai Xiao Min smiled and said nonchalantly, "I've seen and been, and I'm satisfied. You also saw that I'm fine now, my parents are taking care of me, if there's nothing else, you can go back first."
"Are you chasing me away?" Ling Yao narrowed his fierce black eyes, a hint of danger appearing in them.
"Nope." Hai Xiao Min continued to grin, even a fool could see how unconcerned he was.
Hai Xiaoming had been smiling ever since they met. She looked so relaxed, as if nothing had happened to him. Was there really nothing wrong?
Was he that easy to fool?
"I know that this period of time is a critical juncture for you and the company. You need to wholeheartedly control the situation, and I can't help you with anything. After separating for a while, you can focus more on dealing with the current situation, and I also want some peace and quiet."
Quietly recuperating from her injuries, he also conveniently calmed down to properly sort out the relationship between him and her.
"Min Min, don't mess around!" Ling Yao's face became serious as he raised his hand in an attempt to grab Hai Xiao Min's weak arms, forcing her to look at him. However, he couldn't get a third of a distance away from him.
Her weak body and sickly pale face were both a clear reminder to him that he could no longer touch her. Right now, she was like a delicate flower that had experienced great destruction, as if any more of his strength would cause her to wither in his palm.
How many times?
How many times had she been involved in his world, covered in wounds and on the verge of death?
He clearly wanted to protect her, but he had repeatedly caused her to suffer even more harm.
She was afraid and wanted to run away from him. What was wrong with that?
In the end, he didn't do well enough!
"You want to stay away from me for a while?" Ling Yao's voice changed as he silently retracted his hand. The faint tremble on his fingertip was quickly retracted as he asked in a low voice.
"..." "Right." Hai Xiao Min hesitated again. He could not say the word divorce no matter what, so he kept his mouth open for a while. But now, Ling Yao was just repeating the words to confirm, so her heart wavered again!
Her heart did not want to part with him.
He wanted to stay by his side, only to discover that he didn't have the qualifications to stay by his side. What could be more lamentable than this?
"Alright!" Ling Yao suddenly stood up, looked down at Hai Xiaomin and said calmly, "Coincidentally, I have some troubles to take care of in this period of time. You stay here to recuperate, I will send you everything you need. I will come and pick you up after this period of time!"
He agreed just like that?
Hai Xiao Min's fingers under the quilt tightened the corner of his shirt, and the corner of his mouth turned pale.
Ling Yao turned around and walked out. With every step he took, the corner of Hai Xiao Min's clothes would be gripped tighter and tighter as if he wanted to tear it apart. He couldn't turn his head nor make a sound, wasn't this the result he wanted? Then what was she still struggling for!?
Ling Yao walked slowly. He didn't even know what he was still looking forward to at this moment.
Only when he walked out of the room did his heart suddenly feel empty, as if all his strength had been sucked out of him. His tall and big body suddenly bent, and with one hand on the wall and the other on his abdomen, Ling Yao's face suddenly became pale and unsightly.
"Ling Yao, are you alright?" As it happened, Hai Lan Yin appeared at the other end of the corridor and greeted him when she saw his distressed look.
"Shh ~" Ling Yao raised his index finger, making a shushing gesture with his hand, and said softly, "I'm fine."
He didn't want to alarm Hai Xiao Min.
He brushed past her and went downstairs. His voice came from the living room, "Dad, mom, Min Min will be in your care for a few days, after a few days, I'll come and pick her up, and I'll explain everything at the same time!"
Hai Fu and Hai Mu had many questions that they wanted to question him about. Of course, Ling Yao could see through them, but there was no need for him to explain. In a few days, everything would come to light and their doubts would be easily solved.
Hearing Ling Yao's words, Hai Fu and his mother looked at each other and didn't say anything more. They watched him leave the villa and come over before he even had time to drink a cup of tea. Then, they hurriedly left.
The sky was dark, and before long, heavy rain began to fall.
In the rain at night, a black sports car was driving at a speed that far exceeded the speed of a safe driver, crushing the water on the tarmac into splashes.
Ling Yao sat in the driver's seat, his face cold and dark, with a lifeless look in his eyes. His expression was focused on changing gears, stepping on the accelerator, steering the car, and on a rainy night with low visibility, he continuously drove ahead, leaving behind a bunch of terrified curses behind him.
The rain beat on the front window as if it were trying to extinguish the heat in his head.
Ling Yao gradually slowed down his car, then opened the skylight. The rain that was still as cold as before splashed onto his face, completely drenching him.
Calm down!
He needed a calm mind!
The more painful the situation, the calmer he would be!
