บท 240: The Xia Family

Li Lei looked at her with no intention to move.

Xia Ling mustered her courage and exchanged glares with him. Their line of sight was the source of tension in the atmosphere. They were negotiating.

She was defeated eventually and choked on her words. "Li Lei, don't be such a bully!" All her grievances rose inside her, sincerely regretting getting involved with such a person.

That choke was a stab to his heart.

What was wrong with him? How could he force his beloved to a dead end like that? He wanted so much to protect her, to give her the best, but how did they end up in such a state?

Li Lei clenched his fist out of her sight. A while later, he released it and got off.

Xia Ling could not believe he let it go like that, but could not think further as she took the opportunity to change. He waited until she was done changing before getting into the car. He darted a glance at her and called the chauffeur back.
