Chapter 18: If you can't accommodate me, I'll leave!

  Leng Xi didn't know how he got home, his mind was a mess, his thoughts seemed to belong to someone else, clear yet blurry.

  Just now, Ling Han hugged her, and the warmth that came from his body seemed to still be there, spreading through every corner of her body, making her reluctant to let go, wanting to hold onto the breath that belonged to him...

  Seeing the bite marks on his neck, the excitement and anticipation of that moment still lingered in her heart. From the bottom of her heart, she instinctively knew that the person she yearned for that night was him.

  Every woman has a dream, a beautiful dream since her girlhood, that is to give her own, her most precious first time to the man she loves most in this life.

  Her body was already incomplete, unable to accept that the man on her was someone else. Until on the rooftop, she looked at Ling Han's profound and mysterious eyes, looking at his scolding expression, a surge of irresistible longing rose in her heart, longing for his care. Only then did she realize that she had unknowingly fallen deeply in love with him, loving him to the point of heartache...

  Having been abandoned and unloved before, once someone shows her tenderness, she will cherish that person to the point of losing herself.

  When you fall in love with someone, there's always some fear, afraid of getting him, afraid of losing him.

  And she has been broken and worn out, without even the qualification to love, lost before she even had it... The ache in her heart lingers on, wavering and uncertain.

  "Bang!"

  "Get out of here! Go as far away as you can! Don't let me see you again!"

  Leng Xi's foot had just stepped into the Leng family gate when she received a slap in the face, her head spinning with stars. Her originally icy face suddenly felt like it was burning with scorching pain, and several red finger marks instantly appeared on her pale face.

  Covering her burning cheeks, she looked up to see Aunt Mei staring at her with a ferocious expression, her eyes filled with disgust and hatred, as if she wanted to tear her apart...

  "Slap!" Another crisp and exceptionally loud slap, Leng Xi's head suddenly went into a daze, and with a "boom", she was stunned to the point of being completely white. A thread of blood surged up from her throat, through her mouth, and she vaguely felt it spreading out from the corner of her mouth.

  "Leng Xi, what did the Leng family ever owe you? Are you here to collect a debt? What grudge do you have against Leng Kang that you would heartlessly throw him into a cold prison?"

  Leng Ni's voice was loud and clear, her biting words of interrogation and scolding were somewhat muffled in Leng Xi's ringing ears, but he could still make out the meaning behind them.

  Everyone blamed her, blaming her for not saying that she was with Leng Kang, and attributing the crime of Leng Kang being caught by the police to her?

  Was she really wrong? Shouldn't she have said that she was with Leng Kang, or was that man actually Leng Kang?

  He is her brother, and will be ridiculed and despised by people!

  "No, it's not like that. I was sick yesterday and my head was dizzy, I couldn't think clearly...I really didn't know who that person was..." She didn't care about the pain on her face, hastily explaining, she really didn't mean to harm Leng Kang.

  "You still want to quibble! I think our family is too kind, and that's how we raised a white-eyed wolf like you who repays kindness with ingratitude! Letting you off easy by telling you to get out is already being too lenient on you. Even if I beat you until you're crippled, it would still be hard to alleviate the hatred in my heart!"

  Mei Shan somehow went to the kitchen and fetched a iron rod mop, rushing towards Leng Xi with a burst of energy, also raising the mop handle, aiming at her slender legs and sweeping down with a loud thud.

  With a "whoosh", the iron rod landed squarely on Leng Xi's slender legs, the force was so great that her pale legs instantly lost their blood color, and in the next second, the blood rushed to gather, forming a shocking red swelling.

  A dull ache suddenly attacked, wandering in her heart, making her dizzy for a long time, almost fainting from the pain. Cold Creek bit her lip and endured it, not letting herself pass out. The leg was trembling with pain, making it difficult for her to stand. She stumbled and dragged her trembling painful leg, finally stabilizing herself, preventing herself from falling...

  Even so, Meishan was not relieved. She hated to scold, her face twisted, and the stick came down from high again, heading towards her other leg. The rapidly rising wind revealed a fact - Meishan used more force this time.

  This stick will either injure her or leave her disabled.

  Watching the stick fall towards her like lightning, Leng Xi's heart flashed with fear, and her pupils tensed up tightly.

  No, don't let her become a cripple...

  If she breaks her bones, no one will pity her, and even more so, no one will take care of her. All that awaits her is disability!

  The fear in Leng Creek's mind grew larger as the stick approached rapidly.

  "No!" She dragged her injured body and couldn't dodge in time. She could only cover her head, and suddenly sat paralyzed on the ground.

  "Alright! Are you going to beat her to death?"

  As she sat down, a loud shout of interception came, and Leng Xi did not feel any pain in the other leg. She raised her eyes to see her father, Leng Long, who grasped the stick in Mei Shan's hand, and she finally let out a sigh of relief.

  It's Dad, at least in this family, Dad is still protecting his own, and the cold creek's painful heart rises with a little warmth.

  But in the next second, the words spoken from Zi Liang's mouth made her heart sink to the bottom of the valley once again.

  "Leng Xi, come with me to the police station and tell them the truth. Tell them that you were with Leng Kang for the entire first half of the night, and you two were in a heated state, without even taking a break. It's impossible for Leng Kang to have stolen any business CDs!"

  Leng Long looked at Leng Xi with an exceptionally serious gaze, even somewhat stern, it was the kind of attitude that made Leng Xi have to follow his words, she had no right to choose.

  Leng Xi's heart skipped a beat and turned icy cold, as if something had shattered. Her expectant eyes suddenly became somewhat wooden.

  So this is what Dad meant, he also thinks she ruined Leng Kang, and he also thinks she should be with Leng Kang! They don't know that if they acknowledge being together, she and Leng Kang will be despised by the world, and she'll have no future. Who would want to marry a woman who had an affair with her own brother?

  So it was, no one had ever believed her. At most, she was just a helpless outsider at the mercy of others!

  Her stubborn personality was stirred up, asking her to admit that she was with Leng Kang? No way!

  She wiped away the tears on her face, swallowed hard, and stood up with her injured legs still trembling. She looked at Cold Dragon with a resolute determination in her ghostly eyes, "If it's not Cold Kang, then it's not Cold Kang. You can't tolerate me, I'll leave!" Her swollen cheek stung from speaking, but she no longer felt the pain.

  After finishing speaking, he dragged his numb and painful legs, turned around and walked out.

  "You little scamp, how dare you talk back!" Meishan was furious and was about to chase after her to hit her, but was stopped by Leng Long.

  "Don't stop me! Look at you, look at the good daughter you've raised. She won't be satisfied until she's turned our entire Cold family upside down!" Mei Shan was so angry that her chest heaved violently.

  Leng Long could only watch as Leng Xi's figure disappeared into the distance, letting out a helpless sigh. He had taken her in and raised her despite being half-abandoned, but he hadn't expected her to inherit that person's traits - whether it was her beauty or her temper, she was just like him. All he could hope for was that history wouldn't repeat itself...

  As soon as he walked out of the Leng's house, tears could no longer be held back and poured down like a dam breaking, covering his entire face, stinging his swollen red cheeks.

  Her whole body ached all over as if she had been beaten, but what did it matter, she wanted to leave and would leave, even if she had to wander the streets, rather than return there to be humiliated again.

  It's just that both body and heart are in so much pain... The aching legs hurt more and more, can't even drag them.

  The night was deep, and the birds had returned to their nests, but she was still wandering in the streets, with nowhere to go.

  "Ouch!"

  Just as she was dragging her legs to cross the road, a sound of screeching tires came from the side.

  She turned her head to take a glance, and with a dazzling light that stung her eyes, she instinctively jumped up in fright: A car was speeding towards her, although the driver was trying to brake, but the speed of the car wouldn't decrease anytime soon.
