"How could it be possible? Why is Shi Che investigating you for no reason?" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

When Ling Yunshu first sought out Xiao Chen, she knew that if she did it herself, the risk would be too great, and she couldn’t guarantee absolute safety, with the possibility of being directly caught by Shi Che.

But if Xiao Chen did it, he could do it flawlessly without arousing suspicion, and even someone as resourceful as Shi Che wouldn’t suspect Xiao Chen for no reason. But now, how...

Ling Yunshu didn’t understand, but Xiao Chen could vaguely guess that perhaps that day, when he rushed to stop Ling Yunshu and took her away from the Shi Family’s old house, Shi Che saw them.

He is such a meticulous person, it was natural that he would have some doubts, and once their past was discovered, Shi Che’s suspicion of him was only logical.

Having done something wrong, one ought to be punished, but he couldn’t accept that punishment now because he still needed to take care of Ling Yunshu, so he could only take her away. As long as they left the country, even with Shi Che’s vast influence, he would face some obstacles.

"Yun Shu, there’s no point discussing this now. I will make arrangements for us to go to the United States, and as soon as everything is set, we will leave."

Xiao Chen concluded decisively, leaving no room for negotiation. But Ling Yunshu sat on the sofa, unable to accept this reality.

After all, once she returned to the United States, she might never be able to come back, and there would be no chance to do anything between Shi Che and Ling Chuxia.

Three years ago, she left in disgrace, bearing hardships for three years, and finally managed to return from the United States, swearing to take back everything that was hers. Yet in the end... she had gained nothing, even lost everything, and now she still had to leave in disgrace?

No, how could she just leave like this? She wouldn’t go! She refused to leave!

Ling Yunshu reflexively shook her head, her eyes quickly filling with unwillingness and resentment. "Xiao Chen, I won’t go, I don’t want to go back to the United States with you."

"Yun Shu, do you even know what you’re saying? At this point, what else do you want to do?"

Xiao Chen knew Ling Yunshu wouldn’t easily compromise, but even at this point, she was still so stubborn. He felt both disappointed and exhausted. "Yun Shu, this time I can’t listen to you. Whether you like it or not, I have to take you away."

Otherwise, Shi Che would eventually uncover the whole truth, and by then Ling Yunshu would have no escape.

Ling Yunshu abruptly looked up, her black eyes glaring fiercely at Xiao Chen, yet at this moment, Xiao Chen’s gaze was deeper and more resolute than hers, just like that night he firmly stopped her.

Ling Yunshu knew Xiao Chen was doing it for her own good, but she still couldn’t be satisfied. Her hands clenched tightly, her black eyes narrowing deeply, knowing that confronting Xiao Chen head-on would only hasten his actions, and he would take her away immediately. Therefore, she could only take a softer approach.

No matter what, even if she were to leave, before she did, she needed to make life difficult for Ling Chuxia.

Ling Yunshu lowered her eyes, hiding the coldness beneath them, a slight smile forming on her lips as her voice softened. "Xiao Chen, I know you’re worried about me, afraid something will happen to me, which is why you want to take me away. But... I really can’t accept it right now. How about giving me a week to think it over, okay?"

Her voice was both delicate and soft, and when she looked up at Xiao Chen, there was a hint of vulnerability and pleading in her eyes.
