My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 991 You Are a Beast

On the other side, Ling Yan drove Ling Xiu to the airport.

When they arrived at the airport, it was already 9 p.m., but the airport was still very lively, with many international flights having landed.

Ye Lu got off the plane and was surprised to come across Ling Yan and his brother at the airport. She had returned in a hurry and hadn’t expected to encounter someone she knew.

"Ye Lu?" Seeing her appear alone, Ling Yan was also taken aback. He glanced around and didn’t see Third Young Master Jun. His surprise grew, knowing that Third Young Master Jun had a strong possessive desire over Ye Lu. He had actually allowed her, a pregnant woman, to return by herself, which was really not his style. "What are you doing here..."

"I just got back from abroad, by the way, where are you guys heading?" Ye Lu eyed Ling Xiu’s luggage, her eyes widening in astonishment. "You’re planning to go abroad to find Qingchi, aren’t you? Didn’t you say you’d wait a few years for her? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Hmph, it’s none of your business what I do," Ling Xiu hummed annoyedly, with a hint of awkwardness in his delicate and beautiful face. "Who said I’m going after her? I’m going to study abroad."

Ye Lu looked clearly unconvinced.

Ling Xiu became even more annoyed, his bewitching eyes glaring at her. "Do you really think I’m some capricious scion who’d just fool around for an entire lifetime, doing nothing and wasting time?"

In Ye Lu’s mind, wasn’t that exactly what he was? She remembered the first time she met him, surrounded by an air of rakishness, with arms around different people, a perfect image of a wastrel.

"Hmph, I’m going overseas mainly to deepen my knowledge of finance. Even the best universities in the country aren’t quite world-class."

Life had been too frivolous before. Although he was naturally intelligent and could effortlessly excel at his studies, he was never willing to settle down to work hard.

But now that he had a new goal and planned to be with Qingchi in the future, he needed to change himself, to become better and more valuable. Only by having sufficient capabilities could he control his own life and bring happiness to the one he loved.

He didn’t want to continue being the scion that Qingchi despised.

Ye Lu chuckled secretly, seeing Ling Xiu determined to change for love. She was happy to see his now positive and ambitious attitude.

"Not seeing you for a while, you’ve really changed. It’s true what they say, ’A man can change greatly in merely three days.’ Second Young Master Ling really is impressive. Qingchi will be surprised to know. But this time you haven’t even asked me about Qingchi’s whereabouts, tsk tsk..."

"Even if I asked, you wouldn’t tell me, you heartless woman. But never mind..."

Ling Xiu showed a defiant and prideful expression, lowering his head to hold the pendant on his chest, his deep and darkest eyes filled with the most persistent affection.

"I plan to find her myself. Relying on others to find her, even if they succeed, what’s the point? The woman I love should be found by me personally."

Ye Lu’s eyes lit up, and she felt reassured. That’s right, this was something others really couldn’t help him with.

Qingchi’s misunderstandings and fears towards him also needed him to resolve, to strive, and to soothe her wounded heart.

Ling Yan patted Ling Xiu’s shoulder with relief. "This time, you’re aiming to make a fresh start, to be a new man."

"You make it sound as if I wasn’t human before."

"Were you human before? At least in Qingchi’s eyes, you were a beast."

Ling Xiu was speechless, how could a brother speak of him that way? But he still said, grudgingly, "You... take good care of him. The old man is getting on in years, and I won’t be in the country in the future. I leave him in your care."

"If you said these words to Grandpa yourself, he would definitely be happy," Ling Yan sighed.

Ling Xiu turned his face away, asking him to say that to the old man... he just couldn’t say it.
