Chapter 246 First Signs

"The truth is, Chinese men are amazing too!" Wang Yuying said, looking at Li Jia, then blushed as if remembering something, turned her head, and chuckled softly to herself. ^^

"Yuying, let's go for a walk over there." After Li Jia finished speaking, she pointed to a row of painting stalls not far ahead. She gently tightened her grip on Wang Yuying's slender waist so that Wang Yuying's legs could take steps as easily as possible. Li Jia then glanced at a shop in the distance. The shop's glass window was empty.

"Take a break, paint a portrait, I'll be back in a bit, there'll be a surprise!" Li Jia arranged for Wang Yuying to sit down at one of the painting stalls, then got up and left, disappearing into the crowd in the blink of an eye.

Five minutes later, the door of the shop that Li Jia had casually glanced at earlier opened, and a person walked out. He was dressed extremely casually, wearing sunglasses, and his eyebrow piercings were clearly new.

The man looked around as if searching for someone, and only after confirming that it was safe did he walk towards Wang Yuying's painting stall, his hands behind his back, holding a beautifully packaged box of chocolates.

"Yingying! Long time no see, how are you?" The man approached Wang Yuying, suddenly removing his sunglasses to reveal the face that had filled Wang Yuying with thoughts of death; the piercing in his brow bone looked terrifying up close.

"Xiao Liang? What are you doing here?" Wang Yuying looked surprised, but when she saw the piercing on Xiao Liang's brow bone and the chocolate in front of him, a strong sense of disgust rose in her heart. "Get out! I don't know you!"

After Wang Yuying finished speaking, she stood up. The painter at the painting stall watched the two of them without saying a word. Many beautiful love stories happened every day along the Arno River. Therefore, the painter understood the current situation to be that two lovers had a conflict due to some misunderstandings. However, the man came here to apologize and tried to win the woman's heart in his own way. A beautiful love would soon be rekindled.

However, the escalating and heated conversation left the artist somewhat confused. Wang Yuying was completely ignoring Xiao Liang, and Xiao Liang, growing increasingly impatient, began to physically assault her. Seeing this, the artist immediately stood up. "Sir, please don't be so rude. This young lady is my guest..."

Before the artist could finish speaking, Xiao Liang kicked him, sending him flying backward. "You bitch, you're asking for it! Let's see who comes to your rescue today!" Xiao Liang was staring at Wang Yuying, his mind filled with the thought, "I want to have her!" He didn't even notice that Li Jia, who had left earlier, was now standing behind him!

"Jia!" Wang Yuying saw Li Jia standing behind Xiao Liang with a smile on her face and quickly shouted. Xiao Liang also suddenly woke up and turned around, only to see a huge fist. "Bang! Thump!"

The fist landed squarely on Xiao Liang's face, the force sending him flying sideways. He landed headfirst, and for a moment, seeing stars, he struggled to get up. Li Jia, meanwhile, smiled, turned around, helped the painter up, paid him for the painting, and left with the artwork.

"Where did you go? You scared me to death! Xiao Liang has been lying to me all along." Wang Yuying rushed into Li Jia's arms after seeing his face, her voice trembling slightly.

"It's nothing, I just went to take care of some things. Are you alright?" Li Jia gently patted Wang Yuying's back, asking softly with concern.

"I'm fine." Wang Yuying felt an unparalleled sense of security in Li Jia's arms, so when Li Jia asked her, she nodded vigorously and then took Li Jia's arm and returned to the hotel.

After Li Jia made arrangements for Wang Yuying, she had just stepped out of the hotel when her cell phone rang urgently.

"Li Jia, come back to the manor immediately, something has happened!"
