Chapter 160 Regret, His Grievance
Chapter 160 Regret, His Grievance
"She wouldn't be avoiding me on purpose. If you hadn't locked me up at home and restricted my freedom, I would have found her and asked her about it long ago." Ling Nianxiao's tone was firm and he refused to give in.
Seeing that his son was still so stubborn and didn't listen to his good intentions and kind advice, Xiao Ran could only shake his head helplessly and sighed deeply: "Oh, forget it, you have grown up."
After he sighed, he turned and left.
Ling Nianxiao looked at Xiao Ran's figure gradually walking away, and the emotions in his heart suddenly became extremely excited.
Although Xiao Ran just said that the child has grown up, Ling Nianxiao seemed to hear the deeper meaning in his words. The child has grown up and his father can no longer control him.
His body softened and he collapsed to the ground, muttering to himself, "Dad, it's not that I don't want to listen to your teachings, but I really want to try again."
Then he slowly raised his head and looked at the blue sky: "You won't let me down, will you?"
At this moment, Lin Qingyan was hiding on a big tree, witnessing everything that was happening before her eyes.
She saw Xiao Ran and Ling Yao's worry and reluctance towards Ling Nianxiao, and understood that they were not confident in entrusting Ling Nianxiao to her; at the same time, she also felt the tremendous efforts Ling Nianxiao made for her, even at the cost of confronting his parents.
All this made Lin Qingyan secretly determined to make Ling Nianxiao truly happy and make all men in the world envy her.
She turned over lightly and walked to the side of Ling Nianxiao who was in a trance. When she saw his eyes that had lost their luster and looked lost, an endless feeling of pity and love surged in her heart, making her heart ache.
She slowly squatted down and hugged him gently but firmly, as if she wanted to pass all her warmth to him: "Sorry, Nian Xiao, I'm late..." Her voice was full of self-blame and concern.
Ling Nianxiao finally came back to his senses, and he hugged her back tightly, with such force that he seemed to want to rub her into his body. Although there were no words, this silence was more powerful than any words.
At this moment, she clearly felt his inner uneasiness, and also felt the grievance contained in his silence. This feeling was so real that her eyes could not help but moisten.
"Nian Xiao, to be honest, I don't know what happened during the time I was away.
The reason I chose to leave was entirely for our future. I went to Budo Island alone, wanting to accomplish something big. Due to my hasty schedule, I actually forgot to pass on any news to you. Please believe me, I absolutely did not deliberately evade any responsibility, and I knew nothing about the so-called murder.
The big thing has been completed. Today, I just got home and couldn't wait to discuss future plans with my mother-in-law.
However, what I never expected was that I couldn't even step into the gate. I didn't know what I had done to cause the gatekeepers to treat me so coldly. I wanted to find out what happened and wanted to ask my mother-in-law on her way home from court tomorrow.
But my longing for you surged into my heart like a tide, and I couldn't wait even a moment longer. I was eager to see you, so I sneaked in here carefully, but I didn't expect to see this scene in front of me. "Lin Qingyan told Ling Nianxiao everything he had experienced in detail in a calm and firm tone.
"Don't worry, Nianxiao, I will go find my mother-in-law right away. I will let them hand you over to me with confidence. Besides, I have already dealt with the one at home. You will be my only man from now on." Lin Qingyan looked at Ling Nianxiao who was silent in front of her, and said in a firm tone.
After hearing this, Ling Nianxiao finally raised his head slowly and looked at Lin Qingyan with complicated eyes. Although he knew in his heart that the other party's words might not be fulfilled, just this statement made him feel a little relieved.
During this period of time, Ling Nianxiao's life was a mess. He was burdened with blood debt for no reason, his wife disappeared mysteriously, and his parents kept putting pressure on him. Faced with these difficulties, he felt that he could not hold on any longer. However, when he was most helpless, Lin Qingyan came back.
At this moment, Ling Nianxiao's heart was filled with mixed emotions. He knew that although Lin Qingyan's promise might be just a momentary impulse, it at least gave him a glimmer of hope.
"You sneaked in secretly? I'm afraid you have been discovered by those smart and capable people under my mother! In fact, I noticed you hiding in that tree a long time ago! Especially when my father mentioned the lady surnamed Li, your breathing became abnormally rapid, as if a sudden strong wind blew!" After Ling Nianxiao digested his own negative emotions, he started the confrontation mode again.
After hearing these words, Lin Qingyan felt her face getting hot. She was so embarrassed that she didn't know how to deal with this situation. "Hehehehe... that... there is a reason why I did this... after all, I was too worried that you, my husband, would be snatched away by someone else! Fortunately, I came back in time, otherwise, if you really disappeared, I wouldn't know where to find you and how I would cry!"
Lin Qingyan slowly helped him up, and then the two of them walked into the house together and closed the door. The whole action was as smooth and natural as flowing water, and it was done in one go.
Just after they entered the house, a figure suddenly appeared outside the yard. This figure stood there quietly, stayed for a moment, and then slowly left.
"Nianxiao, what's going on these days? Did something happen at home? Why did your mother-in-law order you to be locked in the house?" The two of them sat on the bed. Lin Qingyan looked at Ling Nianxiao with anxiety on her face and asked eagerly.
Ling Nianxiao took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then began to tell Lin Qingyan what had happened recently: "Not long ago, a murder occurred in the inn you run. The shopkeeper said he couldn't find you, so he came to my house to ask me for advice. When I rushed to the inn, I found that the two frivolous and rude people I met that day were standing in the lobby, with flattering and sinister looks on their faces. I immediately realized that this was clearly a trap set for you..."
As Ling Nianxiao continued his narration, Lin Qingyan's expression became more and more solemn. As she listened, she clenched her fists tightly, her heart filled with anger.
He regretted that he had clearly witnessed the two people's conspiracy but forgot to remind Nian Xiao when leaving home, causing him to suffer such injustice for nothing.
