"Leader, should we immediately chase after him?"
"Chase? Chase my ass! All of you, obediently stand here; no one is allowed to leave! "
The commotion finally came to an end, and the Su family's guests were all covered with sweat, feeling as if they had just survived a disaster. After Ling Chen left, they all said their goodbyes and hurriedly left, not daring to stay for even a moment longer. Chao Ying and Chao Xi also hurriedly said their goodbyes to Su Hong Cheng and the others, looking somewhat fearful. Su Hong Cheng and Su Yi Cheng stiffly smiled as they absent-mindedly responded … how could they notice that Chao Ying and Chao Xi's bodyguards had disappeared?
"Don't worry, that girl will be fine." Su Hong Cheng patted Su Yi Cheng's shoulder as he sighed. Ling Chen gave him a feeling that he definitely wouldn't harm Su 'Er.
"Mm." Su Yi Cheng nodded. He had calmed down, and his mind became clearer. Everything that had just happened replayed in his mind. He raised his head and looked towards the door as he said in a low voice, "Big brother, don't you think … that Su 'Er and that Ling Chen seem to know each other …"
"You thought of it too?" Su Hong Cheng did not seem surprised at Su Yi Cheng's words, "Her reaction after being kidnapped was simply too strange. Moreover, I only just realised that Ling Chen was able to enter the Long family's residence without any resistance. If he wanted to leave our Su family, even if there were 10 times as many soldiers, how could they stop him? Why would they need hostages? Now that I think about it … it seems that Ling Chen used this opportunity to bring that girl out. Although that girl's eyes were filled with tears, now that I think about it … she didn't seem very scared. "
"Forget it, forget it, let's not think about it. As long as that girl is safe, that's fine. When she comes back, we'll ask her. If she's willing to tell us, that's good, but if she's not willing to tell us, then let's not talk about it. After all, that young man Ling Chen's identity is too sensitive. If they really know each other, then not only is that girl not in any danger, but she's in the safest place in Hua Xia. "
"Haha." Su Hong Cheng nodded in agreement and sighed, "But this time, he did us a great favor. I wonder where this monster-like young man came from and what is his background. "
…
The sky was dotted with stars, and the night breeze blew gently.
It was winter, and it was nighttime. No one could be seen in the wilderness. A black SUV with its headlights on was parked on the side of a small road. A man and a woman were leaning against the car, sitting on the soft, withered grass.
"It's been a long time since I've seen the stars … It's just like how I haven't seen Big Brother Ling Tian for a long time." Indeed, it had been a very, very long time since he had gone out at night and looked up at the sky like Qiqi and made all sorts of beautiful wishes.
"Then, did you miss me?" Ling Chen also raised his head and said with a smile.
The girl slightly lowered her head. After a while, she replied in a very soft voice, "En …"
If she had enough courage, she really wanted to say the words "I thought about you every day".
"I also missed you …" Ling Chen half-closed his eyes and said in a low voice what Su 'Er wanted to say but didn't have the courage to say, "I thought about you every day."
Su 'Er felt as if her heart was lightly tapped by something. Her heartstrings trembled, and she instantly felt a sense of happiness. This feeling made her heart feel warm and sweet. The night fell silent, and there was only the sound of the car engine. After a while, Su 'Er sneaked a glance at him and said in a small voice, "Big brother Ling Tian, I'm so happy that you could come …"
Ling Chen smiled and said, "Su 'Er, answer me honestly. If I didn't come today, would you … really have remained silent and allowed the banquet to continue until it ended?"
Su 'Er was silent for a few seconds and lightly nodded.
Ling Chen shook his head and smiled bitterly. "You're just too obedient."
"My dad, mom, and uncle are all very, very good to me." The night wind became even colder. Su 'Er hugged her shoulders and slowly said, "Ever since I was young, I was treated as the only hope of the family. No matter if it's dad or uncle, they all placed their hopes on me. They gave me everything I asked for, and never let me suffer any grievances. They were afraid that I would develop bad habits, so they told me not to go out much and not to interact with strangers. At that time, my mother almost never left my side and took care of me meticulously … "
"After my mother passed away, I was sad for a very, very long time. I also felt a great fear of losing my greatest support. After that, my father and uncle treated me even better. They took care of me as much as they could … I could tell that my father and uncle had really placed all their hopes and future on me. So, I was never willing … I didn't even dare to let them down. What they chose for me was always what they thought was best for me. Even if I wasn't willing, I didn't want to resist … in case I disappointed them. Later on, she became my mother. She had always been nice to me, and she treated me even better. The focus of the whole family was always on me, so … so … "
"So, your father and uncle definitely put in a lot of effort to find your future. As such, you didn't want to disappoint them, right?" Ling Chen sighed.
"Mm …" Su 'Er shrunk back as she softly replied, "Back then, dad and uncle often mentioned Xuanyuan Xue Yi in front of me. They said that his looks, character, family, address, reputation, abilities … were all perfect. Apart from Long Tian Yun, no one in Beijing could compare to Xuanyuan Xue Yi. In fact, Long Tian Yun couldn't even compare to Xuanyuan Xue Yi in terms of protecting others. Afterwards, they told me that the Xuanyuan family agreed to the marriage with our Su family. At that time, I could feel my father, uncle, and aunty's heartfelt happiness. So … although I didn't have a clear idea of who Xuanyuan Xue Yi was, and I couldn't even remember what he looked like, I … could only nod. "
"Back then, it was because you didn't have anyone you liked." Ling Chen said, "However, I heard from Qi Qi that our Su Su already has someone she likes. Then … if it wasn't for me, why did you remain silent? "
Su 'Er looked up and snuck a glance at him as she said in a soft voice, "A long, long time ago, I decided … that if you came today … even if it would make dad, uncle, and aunty sad, I would bravely refuse … if you didn't come … I … I …"
If I don't exist in your heart, and you're unwilling, disdainful, and unwilling to come for me, then where would I find the courage to resist …
"Big brother Ling Tian, in a few months, it'll be my 16th birthday. When that time comes, can … can you come to my birthday banquet …"
Ling Chen clearly remembered the nervousness and fear in Su 'Er's voice … as well as the deep desire in her voice.
As the cold wind blew, Su 'Er's body shivered. With Ling Chen's physique, he wouldn't feel any discomfort even if he wore a short-sleeved shirt under the cold night sky. However, Su 'Er was just a weak young girl. She had almost never been out in the wilderness during this season. Ling Chen moved closer to Su 'Er and asked in concern, "Are you cold?"
"Mm …"
"Then let's go back to the car."
The car's engine was still on, and the air conditioner was still on. The temperature in the car was above 20 degrees. The 2 of them came from the back seat, closed the door, and sat side by side. Soon, the coldness around Su 'Er's body disappeared, and her expression warmed up.
The lights in the car automatically turned off. Su 'Er tightened her legs and placed her hands on her knees. Her body tensed up, and her head hung down nervously … the small space, the dim light, and the man's scent that caused her heart to beat rapidly made her blush. This was the first time in her life that she had been so close to a man, and it was the only man she liked … apart from the sound of the car engine, there was nothing to disturb them.
"Su Su …"
"Ah …" Su 'Er's heart was beating like a little deer, and no one knew what she was thinking. Her cheeks unknowingly became completely red, and Ling Chen's words gave her a big fright.
Ling Chen turned to look at her. The light was dim, but Su 'Er could feel his gaze on her, and she hung her head even lower, "The first time I saw you, I was sure that no matter what our relationship was like in the future, I would never forget you … the purity and gentleness in your eyes is enough to touch anyone's heart, and anyone who sees you will never be able to forget you. Moreover, from the bottom of my heart, I want to protect you … including me.
"So, if Su Su wants to find a person, and want to be with him for the rest of her life, can that person … be me?" Ling Chen asked in the softest voice possible.
It was as if there was a warm feeling gently beating against Su 'Er's heart, spreading throughout her entire body. She raised her head and looked in front of her, feeling stunned … it was as if she had returned to a dream, to the dream that she had been dreaming about for the past few months.
"Su Su, don't be in such a hurry to answer … can you listen to what I have to say first, then answer?"
Ling Chen's words caused Su 'Er to fall into a daze, as if she was in a dream … this was something that could only happen in a dream. She felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest, and she had never experienced such bliss before. She couldn't even feel her body, and she forgot where she was and where she was … all that remained in her heart was that figure, as well as those words that seemed to come from far away.
Can that person … be me …?
Do you know? I've always wanted that person to be you …
He did not receive a reply from Su 'Er, or rather, Su' Er didn't know how to reply to him. He leaned against the headrest and let out a breath as he said, "Su Su, do you really understand me? Do you know whether I'm a good person or an unforgivable evil person … "
He slowly stretched out his right hand and placed it in front of the hazy Su 'Er's eyes, "Do you know, in the eyes of the world, I'm a true demon? This hand of mine has been stained with blood … so much that you can't even imagine it. The number of people I've killed isn't in the tens, or hundreds … or thousands … but in the tens of thousands. When piled up, it'll form a massive mountain of corpses. In Hua Xia, even the most terrifying and savage demon killer hasn't even killed a fraction of the number of corpses I've piled up. "
