Chapter 54
From her pocket, Ling Yue took out another bank card and handed it to the staff member.
The staff member accepted it and was about to swipe the card.
"Yue Yue, let your cousin pay for this," Lan Ji and Qin Lie walked in.
Zhou Mucheng saw them and quietly took a few steps back, trying to minimize his presence.
"No need, I'll swipe my own card. I have money," Ling Yue gestured to the staff member to swipe her card.
Lan Ji stepped forward, snatched the bank card from the staff member's hand, and handed his own card to the staff member instead. "Swipe mine."
He held the bank card in front of Ling Yue. "Be good, let your cousin pay. Otherwise, your cousin will get upset."
Ling Yue could only put her card away reluctantly. As for the money Lan Ji paid for her, she would find a way to pay him back.
Lan Ji revealed a happy smile, took the bank card and the painting from the staff member, and handed them to Ling Yue. "Keep them."
Qin Lie had been observing Ling Yue. The more he looked at her, the more he felt that she resembled his Yue'er, both in her innate noble air and her eyes, which seemed so familiar to him. Could she be his Yue'er? Nêww chapters will be fully updated at novelhall.com
A look of understanding flashed in Ling Yue's eyes. This man seemed to have recognized her.
Qin Lie took a step forward, standing beside Ling Yue. The faint fragrance from her body made his heart beat even faster. His deep eyes brimmed with excitement. "Aren't you going to apologize?" She was Yue'er, his Yue'er. In this life, he would cherish and love her properly, never letting go of her hand again.
Ling Yue took two steps to the side, keeping her distance from Qin Lie. In their previous life, he had stabbed her with a sword without hesitation. In this life, she would never forgive him.
"Brother..." Song Yanxue trembled all over, truly afraid now.
"Apologize," Song Ziyuan pulled Song Yanxue out from behind him. He finally understood why the Ling family had fallen to their current state. Qin Lie was not someone the Song family could provoke.
Song Yanxue bit her lip, her eyes filled with humiliated tears. "I'm sorry..." This was the first time she felt so wronged, but she had no choice. She couldn't afford to offend Qin Lie.
"Didn't you eat?" Qin Lie's dissatisfied voice rang out.
Song Yanxue shuddered in fear, about to apologize again, but saw Ling Yue turn and walk away.
Ling Yue hadn't spared Qin Lie a single glance from start to finish. Even if she wanted to get justice, she didn't want that wretched man to do it for her.
"Yue Yue," Lan Ji hurried to follow her.
"No next time," Qin Lie left those words and went after them. He knew Yue'er had recognized him too, and that she was ignoring him because of what had happened in their previous life. But he wouldn't give up.
