Chapter 22: Why Did I Fall In So Easily?

  She walked out with a heavy body, and Leng Xi could no longer hold back her tears, letting them fall freely.

  Her body ached all over, especially her legs. The places where she had been hit throbbed with pain, while the areas he had wanted were sore and aching, almost to the point of being unable to move.

  But no matter how much her body hurt, it was drowned out by the pain in her heart. She hadn't expected to fall in love with Ling Han, and even more so, she hadn't expected him to look at her the same way as everyone else did.

  Ling Han also thinks that she is a woman who can be trampled on for money, and he doesn't care about her feelings at all. He even forced her! And insulted her with money!

  If she could, she would rather hate him than love him, but it seems like it's already too late...

  Why did it fall so easily?

  Every time she wants to hate him, his goodness appears in her mind from time to time, the appearance of his handsome and evil face, the appearance of him putting down his nobility to change sanitary napkins for her... This is a tenderness that she has never dared to ask for.

  At the age of 9, her grandmother passed away, leaving her alone and helpless. There was no one to ask about her well-being. When she had a high fever in the middle of the night and almost fainted, she still endured it by herself. At that time, how much she yearned for someone to be by her side, so she could feel a little warmth, but there was still no one...

  All these years, she was used to the cold emptiness around her, but then there was this one person who suddenly gave her a feeling she never dared to ask for. She should be used to being alone by now, so why did she fall in so easily!

  Leng Xi, he won't fall in love with you! He won't care about you, in his eyes, you're just a promiscuous girl!

  Give up!

  A loud clap of thunder, accompanied by a flash of lightning that streaked across the top of Leng Qiu's head, jolted her suppressed emotions, as if echoing the struggle in her heart.

  She shrank back in fright and looked up at the vast night sky, where dark clouds were gathering, as if it was going to rain.

  Dragging her weak and sore body, Leng Xi felt a little dazed and scared. Her family forced her to admit that she had an affair with Leng Kang, so she ran out in anger, and now she can't go back home.

  And she had just run out of Ling Han with great backbone, earning back some dignity for herself, and she couldn't turn back to humiliate herself again.

  So where can she go now? Her body is so tired, she must find a place to rest.

  "Whoosh, whoosh......" Leng Xi hadn't walked a few steps when the heavy rain came pouring down, exceptionally loud and intense. In less than a minute, her clothes and hair were soaked through.

  She hastily wrapped herself in a large bathrobe and dragged her body to run towards the residential street. The rain poured down on her long, red, swollen leg, causing an abnormal pain, as if salt was sprinkled on the wound, burning. But she couldn't care about that now, her top priority was to find a place to take shelter from the rain.

  Not long after running, she finally saw a roof by the side of an alley, where some goods were piled up. She rushed over and hid under the eaves, leaning against the goods.

  Finally able to escape the impact of the rain, she curled up her slender body into a ball, hugging her legs, and as the chill set in, she couldn't help but shiver with cold.

  "Drink... Haha... Drink... I can still drink ten more bottles..."

  "Blow... blow bull... Ninth brother, you're all drunk... I called you to call... call a woman... You didn't even dare to call..."

  "Who said... I'm the one who's not drunk... Will get drunk? Me... just got bored with those... nightclubs' mediocre women!"

  "Is that so...... then...... I'll find a pretty girl for Ninth Brother, you must work hard to show us!"

  The sound of men's drunken and boisterous conversation came from the entrance of the street, somewhat muffled by the heavy rain. But Leng Xi still suddenly sensed someone approaching, and in fright, she subconsciously raised her panicked eyes to look over there, only to see three drunk men walking towards this side, surrounding something.

  She felt a pang in her heart and hastily lowered her head.

  "Wow! It's a beauty, Ninth Brother, my little brother. I said it and I did it today, I found you a beauty to perform on the spot!" Just now, the man who was holding onto the one called Ninth Brother discovered Cold Creek in the corner for the first time.

  Her face lifted just now, her pale and jade-like complexion flashed by in the rain as if it would glow, instantly attracting the man's eyeballs.

  The one called Ninth Brother looked in the direction his younger brother was pointing, and suddenly his eyes lit up, he opened his mouth to reveal yellow teeth, and burst out laughing, "Haha... indeed a beauty! Today I won't let you go!" He took big strides towards Cold Creek, who was shrinking back, and before she could escape, he grabbed her hair and lifted her head, "Woman, how much for one night..." But when he saw the face in front of him, the man's words were cut off before they could leave his lips. His drunken eyes suddenly widened, indeed a beauty, with sparkling eyes like dew, and a spirit like a fairy, "Damn! It's you, this woman!"

  The man suddenly became extremely sober and cursed loudly.

  Panicked, Leng Creek didn't even notice the pain of being grabbed by his hair. Gu Quan's eyes saw that the person in front of him was extremely terrified, he? Last time at Hui Long Media almost made her "Mediterranean"!

  "Let me go! Let me go!" She was suddenly extremely frightened, her heart almost stopped beating, and she waved her hands to struggle and resist.

  "Let go of you! Dream on, unlucky woman, I'll tear you apart today and see if you dare to escape!" The Mediterranean was furious, and with a forceful pull, he pulled up Cold Creek's black hair, causing several strands to fall out.

  A stinging pain like a slap on the skin came from Leng Xi's scalp, hurting so much that she gritted her teeth.

  "Brother Jiu, do you know this woman?" The brother next to him noticed something and curiously asked.

  "It's not just recognition, I'd like to strip her skin off and pull out her tendons. If she hadn't escaped, I would have ruined a deal, and that old man Xu would never have kicked me out! Damn it, she's ruined my rice bowl!" "Mediterranean" gritted his teeth in hatred, grabbing Cold Creek's hair with another forceful tug, as if he wanted to tear her scalp off.

  Originally, Leng Xi's whole body was already aching and now she felt even more miserable, her entire body trembling. She didn't even have the strength to struggle or resist, feeling as if she was being suffocated by all sorts of pain that surrounded her from all sides.

  "It was all because of this woman that Ninth Brother got scolded by Old Man Xu and lost face! Ninth Brother, today we ran into her, it's her bad luck. Brothers, let's help you teach her a lesson, and after we're done, throw her into the sea to feed the fish!" The little brother next to "Mediterranean" also turned ugly.

  After finishing speaking, she rushed towards Leng Xi, her face filled with a tender expression, and lifted up her small face to kiss him.

  "Go away!" Leng Xi's conditioned reflex kicked in, and under the provocation of "Mediterranean", she shook her head, turned her face to the side, avoiding the man's kiss, but as a result, her scalp was pulled even more painfully.

  "I'll screw your sister! You dare to resist? Don't think about living!" "Mediterranean" was furious, and with a wild swing of her arm, Leng Qing's body flew into the rain like a piece of straw.

  She was thrown all over the place and hadn't even reacted yet when the man suddenly pounced on her, trying to rip off her clothes!

  Leng Xi's head buzzed, and she clutched her bathrobe in terror, holding it tightly. Just now, she had rushed out in a hurry, wearing nothing inside but this bathrobe. The bathrobe was her last pillar, her last warmth, and on it still lingered the chill of his breath, just like the warmth he had given her!

  "No! Go away!" She clutched at the bathrobe wrapped tightly around her chest, backing away in alarm.
