Chapter 10: If you don't want to die, confess honestly!

  Ling Han turned his head and looked at Leng Xi, who was extremely frightened and panicked. He couldn't help but furrow his brow, "I just went to the restroom, you don't have to be so tense."

  He had only been gone for a few days and this woman had already gotten herself into such a state? Looking at her completely insecure and haggard appearance, he couldn't help but think deeply.

  Leng Xi heard him say that, and only then did she feel at ease, swallowing hard, but her heart was still uneasy. These past few days, she had really been frightened out of her wits. Every day was like living in a dark, endless hell, constantly worried and fearful, always on edge.

  She didn't know who to trust, Xie Fei said she could go back to the Leng's house for a while, but in her heart, she was afraid of going back to the Leng's house, afraid of Leng Ni's condescending attitude towards her, afraid of Mei Yi's cold ridicule, afraid of her father's pleading expression, and afraid of hurting Nai Nai who lived at the Spring.

  She could only come to places related to Ling Han during her free time every day, and it was as if she had found a place to settle in her heart, finding a reason to continue on.

  Ling Han entered the bathroom, "Bang" shut the door, and dialed a call to Du Shaohui, "Shaohui, check it out, what has Leng Long done in these few days that he can't let people see?" His thick voice sank with a hint of anger.

  He has been busy with his own affairs these days, thinking that the woman would take good care of herself. He didn't have time to bother about her, but he didn't expect that she would end up with only half a life left!

  Leng Xi saw Ling Han again, and his handsome face was gloomy, with a cold aura emanating from his narrow eyes, as if he was angry.

  Her heart tightened, and she was a little frightened. "Ling... Ling Han... you..." She hadn't even finished asking when Ling Han suddenly leaned in, grabbing the arm she had just pulled out of the IV with great force, causing Leng Xi to be terrified and unable to let out a scream.

  "Get up!" Ling Han dragged her out without giving her a chance to explain, his whole body radiating anger, making Leng Xi tremble.

  "Han Shao, what are you doing? Xi Er's body is weak, don't..." Dr. Shao hurriedly chased out to persuade him.

  "Shut up!" Dr. Shao's words of concern were cut off before they could even leave his lips, suppressed by Ling Han's stern rebuke.

  At this time, Ling Han's whole body was emitting a fierce aura. He grabbed Leng Xi's hand, holding it to the point of pain. Leng Xi furrowed her brow and bit her lip, looking at his back, not daring to speak.

  What's wrong with you? You were fine just now, why did you suddenly get angry?

  Ling Han threw Leng Qing into the car and sat in himself, stepping on the accelerator to speed up.

  Leng Xi carefully lifted her eyelids to look at his cold and stern profile, wanting to ask but not daring to.

  "What did Xie Fei do to you!" His cold voice suddenly rang out, with a hint of anger, and the hand grasping the steering wheel also turned pale at the joints.

  Leng Xi's heart skipped a beat, he knew it, did he know everything that had happened these past few days?

  "Speak!" His displeased words rolled out, startling Leng Xi into shrinking back, her hands clenched as she stammered, "I-I... I don't know..."

  “Ah……” The car suddenly took a sharp turn, the tires scraping out sparks on the ground. Ling Han had thrown her into the car and started driving without even fastening his seatbelt. Cold Creek was flung to one side by the sudden acceleration, almost falling over, but she grabbed onto the car seat just in time, narrowly avoiding being flung out of the vehicle.

  She was frightened and stared wide-eyed, gasping as she looked at Ling Han. All she saw was his thin lips tightly pursed, deep eyes cold as frost, and a handsome face sinking into a hidden anger that made her heart beat even more violently.

  The car drove onto the highway, speeding steadily along. Ling Han's furious voice was almost a roar as he burst out, "If you don't want to die, confess honestly!"

  At this time, Ling Han was like a dangerous sharp blade that could pierce through her at any moment. Cold Creek's heart was racing with anxiety, she lowered her eyebrows, bit her red lips, and tears welled up in her eyes, "No... nothing..."

  "Honestly!" Leng Xi's timid words had not finished, Ling Han's angry roar came over, and Leng Xi was startled by his shout. His body, which had just calmed down, began to tremble again. "Dad wants me to marry him, I didn't agree, but I followed him..."

  "...ouch!" A sudden brake, the tires screeched to a halt, but the car still slid forward for several meters before coming to a stop. Due to inertia, Leng Xi's forehead jerked forward, about to collide with the glass in front of her. The expected pain didn't come, instead, a warm and large palm suddenly appeared in front of her forehead, pushing her head back against the rear seat.

  The next second, the big palm bent into a claw and suddenly pinched Cold Creek's throat. Ling Han slightly narrowed his deep eyes, staring at her. Cold Creek looked over and saw that his eyes were crimson, exuding a murderous aura, and the corners of his mouth twitched with rage.

  "He's gone! That's all he said!" Ling Han's grip on Leng Xi's neck tightened, his calm tone a stark contrast to the fury in his eyes. Leng Xi's face turned pale as she stared up at him, her bright eyes wide with fear. "N-no... nothing, Xie Fei is crazy... I didn't do anything..." She stammered out an explanation, her words tumbling out in a panicked jumble.

  Ling Han got angry, Ling Han was angry with her, she didn't want him to be angry.

  As for her excuse, Ling Han didn't believe it at all. His anger caused the veins on his forehead to bulge, and his grip became even tighter, "Since you chose Xie Fei, why do you need to come back to me with a pitiful look! What's your purpose! Speak!" His eyes trembled slightly, revealing a rare display of anger.

  Leng Xi only felt a severe pain in her throat, her breathing was about to be cut off from the surroundings, her face turned from pale to iron blue, she desperately wanted to breathe in air, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get any air. Her hands were wildly grasping in the air, but they grabbed onto his arm, like grabbing onto a lifeline, holding on tightly. She could feel his arm trembling with anger, but she couldn't make a sound. Was Ling Han really going to strangle her to death? Suddenly, her heart felt a sharp pain, and tears involuntarily flowed out of her dark, ancient well-like eyes.

  Suddenly, he felt the strength in his arm slowly decreasing, and Leng Han's body also began to soften. Ling Han, who had lost his rationality, suddenly woke up with a start. His pupils contracted, and he quickly loosened his hand that was grasping her throat. Looking at her pale face as white as paper, he patted her face anxiously and worriedly said, "Xi'er, Xi'er..."

  "Cough...cough..." After a brief pause, Lengxi suddenly came into contact with the air and woke up, coughing violently, taking big gulps of fresh air.

  "Brook..." Seeing her turn around, Ling Han tightly held her in his arms, he had almost strangled her to death just now, unable to control himself for a moment. Looking at her limp body, without breath for that instant, he who had never known what fear was before suddenly felt a thread of fear flash through his mind.

  "Let me go, let me get off the car!" Leng Xi regained his breath and only then remembered that he had just tried to strangle her. He really wanted to strangle her. She lowered her face, letting tears settle in her eyes, and spoke expressionlessly.

  His body stiffened, he opened his narrow eyes, propped himself up on her shoulder and stared at her, "I didn't mean to." He was too angry, thinking that she had willingly followed Xie Fei, thinking that she might have moaned under Xie Fei's body, he couldn't control himself, furious to the point of explosion.

  Tears silently rolled down her pale little face, she choked back a sob, it was all her fault for coming to find him, she had wronged herself!

  What is love and what isn't, in the eyes of these high-and-mighty people, it's all just a joke anyway. She was wrong to believe in love.

  She listlessly pushed his hand away, no longer saying a word, and was about to get out of the car by pushing open the door, but Ling Han grabbed her hand from behind, causing her body to pause. And what he said next made the last bit of hope she had sink to the bottom of the valley: "This is a red light, you can't get off."

  Actually, regardless of the red or green light, as long as Ling Han wanted to get off, couldn't he just pay the fine for that? It's just that, in his heart, he didn't want her to leave like this.

  Leng Xi's heart sank with a pang of sorrow, tightly closing her eyes. "Then, sir, please take me home, thank you."

  His heart sank, he narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said in a cold voice, "Want to go home? Not possible!" After that, he stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped away quickly.

  Leng Xi's heart skipped a beat as she stared at him with wide eyes, her tears of grievance swirling in her eye sockets, and her chest aching with an irregular rhythm.

  Why, why is it so hard to love someone and pursue one's own romance with all one's heart?! She couldn't hold back her tears, which fell like a broken thread from the corners of her eyes. But she stubbornly bit her lip, refusing to let herself cry out loud.

  The luxurious Porsche stopped in front of the Tencent Group's entrance, not in a parking lot, but rather right at the grand gate of the Tencent Group.

  This attracted a crowd of onlookers, who were all talking and pointing. Who is this guy? He's so arrogant! The owner opened the door to do business, but he blocked the entrance with his car. Is he looking for trouble?

  Ling Han pulled Cold Creek out of the car and immediately a security guard came forward to block their way, "Sorry, sir, you can't park here."

  Ling Han waved his hand and pushed away the security guard in front of him. "Get out!"

  "Wow, isn't this Ling Yun Group's CEO, Ling Han?"

  "Yes, yes, it's Ling Han. I saw him at the auction house. This woman is... one of the items up for sale that day!" Someone recognized them and they were shocked, their eyes wide with amazement.

  The security guard was so frightened when he heard the word "Ling Han" that he didn't dare to block him anymore, and instead hastily went to report to his superiors.

  Leng Xi was dragged away by Ling Han's strong and forceful grip, she didn't understand what he wanted to do. She pushed him away and asked, "What are you doing? Where are you taking me?"

  Ling Han turned back, his handsome face icy as he gazed at her, raising an eyebrow and saying, "What, aren't you daring anymore? Afraid I'll kill your adulterous husband?"

  Leng Xi's heart tightened and his pupils dilated. What did he mean by this?
