My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 832: She Must Not Abandon Him
But now, her strange attitude.
"You don’t want to get married?" His eyes became sharp in an instant, his probing gaze tightly fixed on her face; she wouldn’t be thinking of running away again, would she?
His body stiffened; he wouldn’t allow it; he could spoil her, indulge her, but he would never permit her to abandon him.
Seeing his expression turn icy, Ye Lu’s heart trembled. She did not want to start a conflict with him, so she spoke softly,
"No, I just feel like now really isn’t the right time. My belly is so large, attending a wedding would be exhausting. You know I’m carrying twins now, and the doctor also told me not to overexert myself. The Jun Family’s wedding is huge; it would definitely be hectic for a while, and I’m afraid of harming the children!"
Upon hearing her mention the children, Third Young Master Jun’s expression softened somewhat, yet he remained stubborn and assertive, "Then we won’t have a wedding, just register our marriage before you give birth!"
He truly couldn’t feel at ease; only if they were married, truly making her rightfully his, would his heart be able to settle down.
Ye Lu dared not arouse his suspicions any further and could only nod, "Alright, after this busy period is over."
She would find a way to delay it then.
"Third Young Master, Ling Xiu has come to find her," Feiyu reported with a peculiar expression.
Ye Lu was surprised, "Ling Xiu is looking for me?"
Since that failed escape attempt, she had called Ling Yan to thank him for his help but, because of her sensitive identity at the moment, it wasn’t good for her to have too much contact with him, so they just kept in touch by phone.
Ling Yan had called before, talking about Qingchi. In the end, Ling Kong had successfully taken Qingchi away, catching Ling Xiu off guard.
Ling Xiu, unable to find Qingchi, nearly went mad!
Later, he pursued her abroad but completely lost her trail; after all, the Ji Family’s power was not to be taken lightly, and North America was their turf, hiding someone was all too easy.
After returning, crestfallen, Ling Xiu became irritable and began drinking excessively.
"I’ll go see him," Ye Lu actually wanted to see what his purpose was for coming.
Ye Lu stepped out, and Third Young Master Jun’s eyes became veiled with a layer of frost, shining with a peculiar dark light.
"Third Young Master, Ling Xiu is here. Should we do something?" Feiyu asked nervously. The affair with Old Ling was not easily accomplished; they must start from all sides, and Ling Xiu undoubtedly presented a good opportunity.
Third Young Master Jun’s gaze lowered; this man, who had shared information with him and attempted to intercept Ye Lu, he neither liked nor disliked.
The man’s purpose was merely to use his hand to stop Feng Qingchi; each had what the other needed in their cooperation.
But fate was truly mocking; one second, a person could be an ally, and the next, they might become lifelong enemies.
Third Young Master Jun was inwardly scornful.
"Of course, we should act, and we need to do it flawlessly, considering both Ling Xiu and Ling Yan are not easily dealt with!" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Feiyu’s heart shook, but he still couldn’t help asking, "Are we really going to kill Old Ling?"
Was there truly no room for turning back?
"Yes," Third Young Master Jun uttered a single cold word. There was no turning back because not killing Old Ling meant killing Ye Lu to make up for the failure of the task. The Godfather would not give him a second chance.
If he failed to do so, the Godfather would surely kill Ye Lu himself!
He was not yet capable of contending against the Godfather, who controlled the entire NEW organization.
...
"Ye Lu, I want you to tell me where Qingchi is," said Ling Xiu, looking haggard as he looked up from the sofa, his gaze nearly fierce as he stared at her.
Ye Lu looked at him and actually found him somewhat pitiful.
He had changed a lot without seeing him for a while; gone was the image of the handsome, reckless second-generation heir, replaced by a man lost and disoriented, without a clear goal.
That’s all for today’s update.
