Chapter 11 Heartache

  As she rushed into the room, Leng Xi suddenly stopped in her tracks, her face drastically changed, her lips bitten until they bled, and her entire body began to shake abnormally.

  "What's wrong?" Old Mr. Xu was surprised.

  Leng Xi clenched his brows, covering his aching stomach, his face pale, "I... I have dysmenorrhea..."

  As soon as this was said, Old Man Xu's face turned white in an instant, and all his lust disappeared like autumn leaves being swept away by the wind.

  The face that was full of enthusiasm just now suddenly became serious.

  Leng Xi endured the pain, her face filled with guilt as she said, "It didn't hurt earlier, but this month has been a bit more... if you don't mind, I can..." Leng Xi made good use of that "stimulating" word, her pale face dripping with cold sweat, stimulating Old Man Xu's nerves. In reality, she was frightened and also extremely anxious.

  Xu old man was not in the mood, and he glanced at her impatiently, "I don't have the endurance to fight bloody battles, forget it, forget it." What a pity that he had finally gotten his hands on that big building, only to give it up so easily, all because he couldn't resist the temptation of women.

  The creek was like a sigh of relief, but her heart was racing and her scalp felt numb. "Sorry, I'll go first..." She panicked and hastily turned around to leave, quickening her pace, but then slowed down on purpose, pretending to be weak, only she knew how flustered and fearful she was, how much she wanted to get out of this dark and dangerous place as soon as possible.

  "Xī ér, zhēn de shì nǐ?" Just as Leng Xi was about to leave the VIP room of the leisure club, someone suddenly patted her shoulder.

  Her frightened heart was stirred up again, she reflexively shook off the hand behind her and fled desperately, no, don't catch her back! She didn't want to face that disgusting old man, didn't want to be forced, no! Her brain was acutely painful.

  But she didn't manage to escape as she had hoped, instead her arm was caught by someone behind her. "Xi'er, it's me, what's wrong?" The person behind her turned her around so that they were face to face.

  "No! Let me go...... let me go......" Leng Xi frantically waved and struggled, her thin body trembling with fear, tears spreading across her small face like a deserted little river.

  She was abandoned since she was a child, and even when she grew up, she was still abandoned. She's already gotten used to it, hasn't she? But as long as someone treats her with a little kindness, gives her a little warmth, she'll be moved for a long time, grateful for a long time.

  When she met Ling Han, it was the beginning of her being moved. He helped her out of trouble, took her in when she had nowhere to go, and even helped her clean up when she was a mess. He was the first person to be so kind to her since she lost her grandmother. He warmed her heart, and she was moved, thinking he was the best person in the world. But why did he still want to give her away like goods to that lecherous old man? Why? Leng Xi's heart ached terribly.

  "Xiao Xi, what's wrong with you? I'm your father! Look at me, I'm your father...!" Cold Creek's nearly collapsed appearance made Cold Dragon feel heartache. He shook her shoulders, hoping to bring back her sanity.

  “……Dad……” The familiar word hit Leng Qi's ears, and her senses slowly returned. Her blurry eyes saw Leng Long's worried face, and she could no longer hold on, her frightened body falling into his arms. "Dad, I'm so scared, I don't want to be with some old man, I don't want to make movies or act in plays... waaahhh..." She was terrified, speaking incoherently. For the past two days, she had been living in fear. She was just a girl, a girl who yearned for warmth. At this moment, she really didn't want to be strong anymore, she just wanted to be selfish and let herself feel the warmth of being cared for.

  "It's okay, Xi'er, you go out first and wait for me. Daddy will take you home in a while." Leng Long pushed Leng Xi out, but he himself turned back into the private room.

  "Xu Lishi, what did you just do to that girl?!" Cold Dragon's face was not looking good, and the anger he had been trying to suppress still seeped out in his questioning tone.

  Xu old head was quite curious, "How come, Manager Leng also started to take an interest in women? What I did with that woman seems to have nothing much to do with you."

  "You..." Leng Long's face turned red with rage, wanting to scold Xu the old man, this notorious dirty old man, but couldn't find a suitable reason.

  Leng Xi is his unacknowledged adopted daughter, nobody knows he has a daughter like her, now he has no reason to use this fact to reproach old man Xu.

  "I warn you, don't think about hitting her again, or else don't blame me for being ruthless. Don't think I don't know what you've been doing." Leng Long said with concern for Leng Xi, and then turned to leave after throwing out a threatening sentence.

  Xu's face turned iron-green.

  At this time, on the other side of the partition wall with ears, Ling Han's eyes were cold and gloomy. He picked up a glass of red wine, swirled it slowly several times, then elegantly took a sip, letting the mellow wine flow between his teeth. Such elegant movements still made Du Shaohui see the forest of coldness and frostiness.

  "It seems that dogs biting each other is not impossible after all......" Du Shaohui also picked up the red wine, raised his glass to Ling Han and drank it in one gulp.

  ……

  "How dare you come back! You're a corrupting influence, a shameless woman!" Cold Creek's foot had barely touched the ground at the Cold House when Cold Ni's sharp, acid tongue rose up, accompanied by a raised palm.

  "Ling Ni! What are you like now, you're just like a shrew, where's the elegance of a noble lady?!" Leng Longhu stood in front of Leng Xi and caught her hand that was about to slap downwards.

  "Dad, did you know that she's so cheap? She clearly knows that Ling Han is my fiancé, but she still tried to seduce him!" Leng Ni said with a mix of grievance and anger, pointing at Leng Xi's nose.

  "That's enough, look at you now, what are you like! If Ling Han sees you, who would still want to marry you? You're being unreasonable and making a scene, it's simply not dignified. I think marrying your sister off to Ling Han wouldn't be bad either!" Cold Dragon sternly scolded Cold Nee.

  "Leng Long, you can say that? Don't forget Leng Ni is your own daughter! She's just a little wild child!"

  Mei Yi was furious and unbearable, she shielded Leng Ni behind her, rounded her angry eyes, stared at Leng Long, and her hair stood on end.

  "You..." Leng Long was momentarily enraged, raising his hand to slap Mei Shan, who had no regard for the rules of the house, but was stopped just in time by Leng Xi.

  "Dad, stop arguing, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have made everyone angry and brought trouble to them. I think I'd better move out." Now Leng Xi really felt she was wrong, originally Mei Ayi sold her because she disliked her.

  "Xiao Xi, as long as Dad is in this house for one more day, he won't let you move away, so rest assured and stay here."

  "But..."

  "It's settled then. Also, in eight days it will be Uncle Ling Han's 50th birthday, and Father wants to bring you along so that everyone can get to know you." Cold Dragon calmed down, with a profound meaning.

  Leng Xi lowered her head, she didn't know how to refuse her father's kind intentions.

  Leng Ni was furious, her eyes flashing with hatred as she glared at Leng Xi: That damned Leng Xi! Father wanted to marry her off to Ling Han and publicly acknowledge her as his daughter in front of everyone! Didn't he know that Leng Ni was his own flesh and blood?! Leng Ni's anger made her grit her teeth.
