Chapter 97 - Stay Away

Ling Yue heard a soft knock on the door. She hurried to her feet and pressed her ear to the door.

"Who--?"

"It's me."

Ling Yue heard Ling Huansheng's voice behind the door.

"Can you open my door?" Ling Yue asked hopefully.

"No. Hierarchy's order."

Even sometimes Ling Feng was cold and asked to be punched, strangely enough, Ling Huansheng admired and respected him as a big brother. So when Old Fu said no one could open the door, that including him. He could not ignore or disobey Ling Feng's words.

He leaned his back there. "Are you okay?"

"You don't need to worry about me wait-- you know?"

Ling Huansheng glanced briefly at the door handle of Ling Yue's room before looking back straight. "You think?"

"You did." Ling Yue concluded. She then pressed her shoulders against the door. "What about him? I mean at the bar, Feng Ge ..."

Ling Huansheng took a deep breath. "You really got yourself in trouble."

Ling Yue clicked her tongue. "I'm not! Ling Feng is too much. Why did he hit Xi Jian just because I kissed him?"

"WHAT ???" Ling Huansheng's voice boomed. He glared at the door, hoping his gaze pierced this thick wood and struck Ling Yue's eyes.

Ling Yue cleared her throat, a little embarrassed. "You said you knew, so I thought ..."

Ling Huansheng placed a hand on his waist. "Feng Ge only said that you were locked up for security reasons. Who knew you turned out to be that shameless?" He grumbled.

"What's wrong with expressing my own feelings?"

"That's not it. You have to look at the situation you are in. Public places aren't for doing pervert thing!"

"So it doesn't matter if it's a closed place?"

Ling Huansheng massaged his temple. "That's not what I meant either!"

Ling Yue could hear him swear. "Why are we yelling at without facing each other? Leave if you can't open this damn door." Ling Yue kicked slowly in the door of her room and heard Ling Huansheng's steps move away with his loud curse.

Morning the next day, the door key to her room rang. Ling Feng appeared behind the door with a tired face. Seems he could not sleep.

"Did you sleep well?"

"Very well." she said as sarcastic as she could. Ling Yue hugged the pillow and leaned back on her bedboard. She couldn't sleep without knowing what's happening. It was only before dawn she gave up and could not tolerated her sleepiness anymore. Now her head was throbbing with pain. "What do you want?"

Ling Feng sat on the edge of the bed, gaze at his gloomy sister. "Still angry?"

Ling Yue ignored him. She did not bother to even looking at Ling Feng. A dead silent overleap the room. Ling Feng finally asked,

"Why it has to be him?"

"Why not?" Ling Yue retorted.

"You know he's a playboy, womanizer or such as." Ling Feng rarely saw his friend with a woman after all this time. He could not stop himself from thinking and was suspicious if Xi Jian approached his younger sister only because of his 'needs'. He is a man after all. And Ling Feng knew that once someone familiar with physical contact didn't do it for long time, it wouldn't be easy to stop it. He did not want his sister to be merely an outlet for Xi Jian's lust. But seeing his reaction last night, Ling Feng somehow had a feeling Xi Jian had deeper intentions towards her. So he asked Ling Yue for that.

"Are you really in love with him? Or do you just want to upset me? Well, if it's the second, you did me."

Ling Yue lifted her face, although she looked too tired from lack of sleep, her eyes brimming with determine.

"What if it's true?"

"Can I say no? No. I don't want to allow it."

Ling Yue sighed. "Can you not interfere this time? I always obey you until now." She looked at Ling Feng in despair. "I realize what that guy was like. Even though I don't know what happened after that incident, for me now, I want him. I ... I might love him even though I don't think he is." Ling Yue fidgeting linked her fingers.

This was the first time she confessed when Ling Feng asked her. In the past, this younger sister never said what actually happened to her, even though she was bullied or treated badly by her friends.

Ling Feng made a fist. "So you love him and he doesn't?"

"Maybe ... I don't know." I want to find out, but you stepped in unnecessary. She swallowed the rest words. Ling Yue lift her forearm and placed her head on her linked fingers.

"So what are you going to do?"

She raised her head and this time stared at Ling Feng's eye. "So you approve it?"

"No. Just make sure first how he feels. If he really loves you, he needs to face father and me again and the rest of Lings family. If not, stay away from him and don't find out any news about him." because I'm gladly made sure he would live in hell. Ling Feng continued his words in his heart.

Ling Feng peered at his sister who looked confused. "Just rest for now, I've sent someone to your office to tell you you're not feeling well, so you don't need to go to the office today." He stroked Ling Yue's head and left.
