Chapter 90 - Pursuing Her Love

She kept her voice as low as possible and ended her talk with He Luo. Ling Yue looked up and Xi Jian's eyes were still on her.

"What a bad liar!" he said sarcasm.

Ling Yue said nothing and quietly wore his sweater. She was not a bad liar. She could sometimes be a professional liar if needed. It didn't matter if she had been good at lying or not. For her who was a lawyer, sometimes lying inevitable could get the truth. She would make her lies sound convincing. Because it can happen if done with confidence. And now, her confidence was on the verge of crisis only because of the intense gaze from the man next her.

They didn't talk all the way to Ling Mansion. Xi Jian was busy thinking about what relationship existed between Ling Yue and He Luo. Like him, He Luo also knew Ling Yue for a long time and recently had been canceled his marriage. More than that, he heard from Ling Feng himself that He Luo kissed her. His grip strengthened on the steering wheel.

Compared to himself, He Luo clearly looks more 'clean'. Does she prefer man like He Luo? Xi Jian glanced at her many times.

No.

He was the best. He never compared himself to anyone. So now that he was in this situation, Xi Jian suddenly felt anxious. He never expected that his past would have a bad effect on the future.

'What should he do?'

Ling Yue was also deep in thought. She squeezed her hand tightly. Does falling in love will feel anxious like this? Does she have to express her feelings loudly so that Xi Jian will notice?

No.

No.

Ling Yue couldn't do that. A cassanova with a list of extraordinary ex would never glance at her. Should she be the one who take the first step? What if later when they met in the office Xi Jian avoid her like before?

'What should she do?'

"We're arrive." Xi Jian's voice startled her.

"Oh yes, thank you. See you at work?" she asked but immediately got out before hear an answer. She was afraid that what he would say next was not to appear before him again.

Ling Yue entered without turning her head.

"Oh, you just got home? Where have you been?"

Ling Yue stopped right on the first step of stairs. Ling Huang leaned against the living room door, one hand in his pocket and one hand covering his yawning mouth.

"Huang ge ..."

Ling Huang looked at his little sister who wore a sweater larger than her body. Obviously it belongs to a man. The question is...which man? He fell asleep while waiting for Ling Yue and only woke up when the heels of Ling Yue's shoes rang into the house. He did not get to see who drove his sister home.

"You should have a good explanation, because Ling Feng is waiting for news from me." He also smelled the faint smell of alcohol. "Are you drunk?"

Ling Yue shook her head. "Are you waiting for me? Sorry." Ling Yue hugged him and sighed.

"Don't tell me you went through being a woman last night?" Ling Huang asked cautiously as his younger sister was a bit exhausted.

"What do you mean?"

"One night stand?"

Ling Yue hit Ling Huang's back. "Urgh, don't talk like that."

"Oh is he able to reject you? Even though you're drunk?" Ling Huang's conversation was getting more slipped out. Ling Yue pushed him and snorted.

"Don't talk nonsense. Are you drunk?"

Ling Huang chuckled and embraced her. "You better take a shower and then we have breakfast and talk about it. I'll take a shower too. Oh I know! How about we take a bath together? You can rub my back and-- Ouch!"

Ling Yue smacked him. "Pervert!"

"Tck, get down right after you take a shower!" Ling Huang warned her.

Ling Yue lied down and embrace herself. Xi Jian's scent enveloped her. Even just with his sweater, Ling Yue felt her stomach squeezed with a tingling sensation. She really likes this man.

Xi Jian's image since they met again after seven years flooded her mind and interactions before he was discharged from hospital printed sweetly on her head. Ling Yue rushed to take a shower and dress up. She had to settle matters with Ling Huang before chasing Xi Jian.

Oh Yes.

She decided to go after him. This was the first time Ling Yue was determined to pursue the man she loved rather than just having a crush without doing anything like before. An ex was just an ex. What's the problem if they were extraordinary? She could also be one of them.

No.

She would be the only one for Xi Jian. They could not prevent her from pursuing her love unless the man himself stopped her. Even though he was only interested in her body, Ling Yue would use it fully or so whatever to ensnare that man's heart.

And if this fails, she just need to go back to her old office and never have to see him again. Ling Yue felt that she too had to meet her grandfather.

Just wait Xi Jian!
