Chapter 96 Chapter 96 Heartbeat

People are very contradictory. During the two years that Tang Ningyue was married, she was far away in Singapore, and Li Jinglang didn't know how she was doing there.

Perhaps adults are always more stable than teenagers. He no longer chases her and shouts to see her every day, but begins to worry about her life. He will be sad if she is unhappy, but he is even sadder when she is so happy with another man.

It seemed that no matter what, he was always in a painful process, and the root of the pain came from the fact that he was never in her heart.

Zhou Yuhe always appears in the photos she posts on social media. After seeing so many of these photos, Li Jinglang begins to worry that she might really fall in love with him.

After all, they are a real couple, legitimately so, and Zhou Yuhe still guards her as if she were his own precious eye. Anyone would be moved by this.

But the fact is, Zhou Yuhe is now in a difficult situation, and Tang Ningyue seems anxious but always stays away from this huge pit. She even has the mind to flirt with another man the night after finishing the call with Zhou Yuhe.

"Are all men toys that you can throw away at will?"

When Li Jinglang turned over to question her, Tang Ningyue was already drowsy and about to fall asleep.

“.....”

She had her back to him, her eyelids slightly raised and then drooped, and she did not answer his question.

It was very quiet inside. Outside the window, snowflakes started falling again. They were so large that they dyed the whole city white, but were reflected into a mess of colors by the various colorful lights.

"Will you do it?"

After a while, Tang Ningyue only asked this question.

Apart from humiliation, Li Jinglang could not feel anything. He knew nothing about where her heart was or what she was thinking.

There was only an absurd feeling of powerlessness weighing heavily on me.

The night sky tonight is very bright because of the lights reflected on the white snow. Although it is still gray, it looks like a layer of filter. It is not beautiful but very unique.

"When we were little, you said you would always be by my side." Li Jinglang frowned, rested his arms on his knees, buried his head between his arms, and sighed.

"On the day of my father's funeral, the adults were arguing fiercely. They all wanted money but not me. Only you said that you would always be with me."

Although both of them were still young at that time, Li Jinglang still remembers that rainy day, the humid air mixed with the smell of burning incense and candles, and the faces of the adults who had completely lost their decency and blamed each other.

Only she held his hand, and he never forgot the warm and cozy feeling.

"You're overthinking it." Tang Ningyue opened her eyes slightly and stared at a certain spot on the sofa. "I said those things for money. Your family is rich, so I said that."

"Who knew you were such a money-loser?"

She spoke harshly, and every word was full of sting.

“.....”

"If you're doing this for Zhou Yuhe," Li Jinglang chuckled. "I can help him, so why do you have to distance yourself from me? You know I can't stand you treating me like this!"

"Li Jinglang!" Tang Ningyue sat up suddenly and threw the pillow on the sofa at him. "I don't need your help! Why do you have to meddle in other people's business?"

"Why do you keep coming to me when you're in the middle of this storm? The Zhou family can't escape this time, and no one can help them. The situation is tense outside, with so many media outlets watching me, and so many rivals waiting for this opportunity."

"How long have you been standing up? How long has the company been established? Do you have to be so pretentious here?"

She suddenly became anxious and didn't care about her image. The collar of her shirt slipped off her shoulders, and she realized her loss of composure.

In Li Jinglang's impression, Tang Ningyue had never lost her composure like this. Even when he was struggling with her or going crazy in the ward, she always remained calm, self-controlled, gentle and tolerant.

This was the first time he had seen someone so emotionally exhausted.

"Are you worried about me?"

Li Jinglang was unsure. He opened his mouth and asked cautiously, "Are you still worried about him?"

“.....”

Tang Ningyue didn't want to pay any more attention to his stupid and boring questions. She threw his coat that was draped on the sofa over him and lay back on the sofa with her back to him.

"Go away and don't bother me here."

Tang Ningyue was so angry just now that she took several deep breaths before she calmed down. She didn't like to lose her temper, and most of the time she didn't comment on other people's things or words. It was meaningless except wasting time.

But now, she realized that she could also lose control like this, like a dangerous vehicle that suddenly lost its steering wheel and spun wildly on the highway, which made her scared.

“.....”

The room fell silent again, so quiet that it was scary.

"Why don't you admit it..." Li Jinglang's voice was seriously hoarse, "You obviously love me."

“.....”

"I'm not afraid of what you said. Compared to these, I'm more afraid of losing you."

With a "plop" sound, Li Jinglang's tears fell on the floor, and under the heating of the floor, they turned into a small and inconspicuous water stain.

"That's not necessary." Tang Ningyue said coldly, "I don't want to bear the consequences for others."

She doesn't like this kind of love that is so heavy. If she needs to put everything on the line, she would rather live alone than bear this moral shackles.

She doesn't need any man to do this for her. She is a vain woman, yes. She has borrowed a lot of resources from the Zhou family, but it is a win-win situation in the end.

She didn't need Li Jinglang to gamble everything in his fate to help her out of the predicament.

"The Zhou family's matter is very serious. I can't help, but I will find Zhou Yuhe, the person in charge on my aunt's side, to assist in the investigation."

"....." Tang Ningyue still leaned forward, without any reaction.

"I will try to shorten the period and release him on bail early, but..."

"What happens after he comes out?" Li Jinglang didn't need any thanks, he just wanted an answer from Tang Ningyue.

"I know you must have feelings for him after so long, not just for personal gain. I don't care about that. As long as you can break up with him, I don't care about anything else."

“.....”

The drama of reconciliation has been played out too many times, but most of them ended in nothing. Li Jinglang was not God's favorite, not to mention that he was facing such an emotionally indifferent woman.

"What kind of sad drama are you playing with me?"

Tang Ningyue stood up, not wanting to listen anymore. She grabbed his clothes and pulled his arm, trying to throw him out the door.

"Does admitting your love for me embarrass you so much?"

He followed her to the door, which she opened and he closed. He turned around and held Tang Ningyue in his arms. Before Tang Ningyue could react, the kiss filled with strong male hormones fell on him.

Spreading from the corner of her lips to her collarbone, he didn't give her any chance to struggle.

She was used to being the superior one in relationships, and even subconsciously controlled the other person's life. When it was suddenly exposed, Tang Ningyue felt a little angry and embarrassed.

"Don't be so self-indulgent, Li Jinglang!"

Tang Ningyue pushed him, but Li Jinglang became even more excited. He pulled the person into his arms again and again, wrapped the person in his coat, and stuffed him tightly into his chest.

"If you're talking about doing it, why not do it with love? Does it have to be done with hatred?"

"Or....I'll remember it longer if I do this..."

"Li Jinglang, you bastard!"

She scolded him, but Li Jinglang smiled and kissed her cheek.

"But your heart is beating so fast..."
