Hearing this, the laziness on Li Lingyang's face faded a bit, and his tone became serious, "Why do you suddenly ask this?"

"My studio has a jade carving collaboration with the Gu family."

Ning Yichu hinted, "I heard today that your family and the Gu family have a bad relationship, and it seems to be related to Uncle Li's love history."

"I've never cared about his personal affairs, but before I took over the company, he told me to do everything in my power to bring down the Gu family, even if it meant losing a thousand of my own lives to inflict eight hundred casualties on the enemy."

This is not normal business competition at all. Is it true that they became mortal enemies for a woman?

"Although the Li family and the Gu family are enemies, as a jade carver from the North Pole, it is your freedom to cooperate with whomever you want. You don't have to worry about me." Li Lingyang thought Ning Yichu cared about him, and thought about whether to avoid suspicion, so he gave the advice with emotion.

Ning Yichu saw that he was feeling so moved by himself, but he didn't want to expose him.

"The contract has been signed, and now I can't even back out."

"Stop talking about these things that spoil the fun. How about I take you somewhere else to play?" Li Lingyang took her pretty hand and suggested with a smile.

Ning Yichu was stunned. "It's so late, are you kidding me?"

"Are you going?"

Ning Yichu was stunned, thinking that his mother had already fallen asleep and would not notice anything...

His heart was pounding in his chest, and after only two seconds of hesitation, he made a decision.

"Then... go quickly and come back soon!"

Li Lingyang curled his lips and kissed her soft lips deeply.

They left the Ning family's ancient house hand in hand.

The bustling night scene of the imperial capital passed by the car window...

Ning Yichu sat in the passenger seat and reached out his hand to touch the air.

They didn't go far, but instead went to the night market in the old city.

The long street is filled with flaming red lanterns, red tassels are hung on every tree, vendors are shouting, and the air is filled with the scent of worldly life.

Ning Yichu hadn't known before that there was such a place nearby. In this bustling environment, he gradually relaxed, the smile on his lips unconsciously deepened, and he bought a bunch of things here.

Li Lingyang's eyes were full of doting, and he competently paid the bill later.

As the crowd surged, she was held tightly in his arms...

They also drove together to the mountain behind and released the Kongming lanterns they bought at the night market.

Two dim lights swayed and rose before my eyes...

In this starry night, they gradually became two small dots.

They stayed in the back hill, in front of the black Spyker.

Li Lingyang put his arms around her waist and held her in his arms, and Ning Yichu hooked her arms around his neck.

The moment their eyes met, they couldn't help but hug and kiss each other passionately, whispering in each other's ears.

The night wind rustled past, and it was already early morning, but they were still deeply in love, unable to bear to part...

Li Lingyang's eyes were dark, and he said in a hoarse voice, "I really hope you don't go back tonight."

Ning Yichu's face flushed red, her head felt dizzy, but her eyes were sparkling.

"What do you want to do if you don't go back?"

There was a wicked smile on Li Lingyang's thin lips.

The hand on her waist deliberately moved back to let her feel it.

Ning Yichu froze instantly, his clear eyes filled with embarrassment and surprise, "When did you get better?"

Previously, when they were in Reykja, Li Lingyang had encountered an accident, which caused him to... lose response in that area. She even found other women to seduce him, but at that time he showed no signs of recovery.

Li Lingyang raised his eyebrows and whispered ambiguously, "It's been like that since the day you promised to give me a chance to pursue you again."

“…”

"Chu Chu, you are my medicine."

“…”

"If you don't believe me, you're welcome to come check it out anytime."

“…” What kind of vicious words are these?

Ning Yichu's heart skipped a beat. She glared at him angrily, using the darkness of the night to hide her blushing face.

Finally, I left a sentence that spoiled the mood...

"It's getting late, let's go back."

It would be bad if her mother woke up in the middle of the night and found she was not there.

Li Lingyang really wanted to bite her hard. In such an atmosphere and scene, she actually asked to go back. However, no matter how reluctant he was, he couldn't refuse her.

…

Half an hour later.

Ning Yichu returned to the small Western-style building.

The lights were off and the house was very quiet.

Ning Yichu was afraid of making any noise, so he took off his shoes, held them in his hands, and walked barefoot on the floor to the second floor.

The retro corridor wall lamp emits a faint light, and the expensive carpet stretches to the end.

When passing by his mother's room, Ning Yichu paused for a few seconds. Through the crack in the door, he saw that it was pitch black inside. She must have fallen asleep and didn't notice that he had gone out...

She breathed a sigh of relief and went to her room.

Grab the door handle and push the door open to enter.

The lights in the room were bright, and when she saw the scene inside, her eyes widened!

Ning Qingwan was actually sitting on the sofa by the window.

She was wearing a thin nightgown, with her long hair hanging down her back. Her face was ashen, and she was staring at her steadily, like the foreshadowing of a storm.

Caught off guard, Ning Yichuxin was suddenly lifted up.

"Mom...why are you here?"

Is this waiting for her?

Ning Qingwan stared at her without blinking, "Chu Chu, where did you go so late?"

Ning Yichu suddenly felt insecure and quickly made up an excuse.

"Yu Ke had something to do, so she asked me to come over and help her. Mom, you're not feeling well, and Doctor Zhang specifically told you not to stay up late. I'll take you back to your room to rest."
