After dealing with these bullies who preyed on the weak, Li Qingling returned to Nie Yu's side, but Nie Yu remained standing still, motionless.

Those present had never seen the usually decisive Nie Yu so indecisive, as if he were facing someone he had loved for a long time, even his breathing became cautious.

As always, Li Qingling didn't care about other people's opinions. She took his hand and put it around her slender waist.

"Will you dance with me?"

Nie Yu felt the real touch in his palm. This was no longer a dream. Looking at the girl dancing gracefully in front of him, he even felt that even if it really was a dream, he would never want to wake up.

Soon, the dance ended, and Li Qingling noticed her parents watching her from the corner.

She took Nie Yu's hand and gently said, "Wait for me~"

After saying that, she jogged over to Li Zhanting and Gu Momo.

Looking at the girl nestled obediently in her parents' arms, Nie Yu suddenly realized that he shouldn't have acted this way. Fanxing had finally found someone better and shouldn't have any involvement with someone like him.

Thinking of this, a sharp pain shot through his chest again, and the air in his mind raced wildly, as if trying to tear his head apart.

He realized his old ailment had flared up, and hurriedly clutched his heart and fled.

Li Qingling tilted her head and pressed it tightly against Gu Momo's chest, "Mommy~ Ling'er missed you so much~"

Gu Momo gently patted her daughter's back, "Sweetie, Mommy missed you too~"

“Mommy, I deliberately didn’t tell you and Daddy when I came back this time, because I wanted to give you a surprise. Also…” Li Qingling paused, “I have some other things I want to tell you and Daddy.”

Gu Momo turned her head and exchanged a glance with Li Zhanting, and the two understood each other perfectly.

From the moment she saw her daughter there, she understood that time had not changed anything for her daughter and Nie Yu.

The bond they forged in their youth was so strong that even after all this time, they would still choose each other forever whenever they were together.

Li Zhanting nodded slightly to her, indicating that Gu Momo was explaining her thoughts.

Gu Momo reached out and grasped her daughter's slender shoulders, saying softly, "Mommy knows what you want to say. Go pursue what you want. I admit that your daddy and I didn't think highly of Nie Yu before, but he was able to consolidate everything in the Nie family in a short time, while maintaining his integrity and keeping you in his heart all these years. I can believe that he can protect you well."

Li Qingling hadn't expected that her mother had already guessed her thoughts before she even spoke, and she was more moved than excited.

"Daddy, Mommy, thank you. Ling'er really, really loves you."

Seeing his daughter's red and swollen eyes from crying, Li Zhanting gently wiped away her tears and encouraged her, "Go find him quickly. I just saw him heading towards the lounge."

"Yes!" Li Qingling nodded firmly, carrying her parents' approval, and rushed towards the man she had longed for since she was young.

......

In the dimly lit VIP lounge, Nie Yu huddled in a corner, the intense pain in his heart and brain causing him to bang his head against the wall, but his symptoms did not lessen at all.

The moment he saw Li Qingling, his long-suppressed emotions erupted like a volcano, the scorching lava burning his reason. For the first time, he even wanted to possess her forever, to keep her, and to spend the rest of his life with her.

He didn't understand why he had become like this, why his feelings for Ling'er had become so impure.

Suddenly, the door to the VIP room was pushed open, and bright lights from the corridor shone in. Nie Yu struggled to lift his head, and the girl walked in against the light.

"Nie Yu? What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Li Qingling's face, which had been full of joy, was now furrowed as she quickly ran to his side.

Nie Yu didn't want her to see him like this, so he kept burying his head and shouting for her to leave.

"Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!"

"No!" Li Qingling retorted resolutely, squatting down to hug him tightly. "I won't leave you, don't even think about sending me away again."

The girl's faint milky scent was like a good medicine, and Nie Yu's trembling body gradually calmed down.

As Nie Yu gradually regained his senses, he lifted his head from Li Qingling's chest. His deep eyes clearly showed suppressed heartache, but his tone was exceptionally cold, "What are you doing back here? Since you've already left, you should pursue a better future."

Li Qingling didn't answer his question. Instead, she looked intently into his eyes and asked with unwavering determination, "Nie Yu, have you ever thought about taking our relationship to the next level?"

Nie Yu understood what she meant, his back trembled, and he guiltily avoided her burning gaze, "I don't understand what you're talking about."

"You know, you just won't face it." Li Qingling was unwilling to give up. She cupped Nie Yu's cheeks in her hands and met his evasive gaze again.

Nie Yu felt a pang of pain in his heart. All along, two people had lived in his heart: one who told him to always express his love, and the other who kept warning him that his old ailment of mood swings would one day hurt her. He thought that a flawed person like him should not have the bright and beautiful Ling'er.

"Li Qingling, I don't understand love. Being with me will only hurt you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the girl's lips, fragrant with jasmine, covered his.

Her kiss was sweet, her lips soft, like tasting a strawberry cake, a sweet and sour sensation spreading at the same time.
