Someone
Lin Zhihan woke up once in the middle of the night, and Ling Yan was sitting on the headboard smoking beside her.
Lin Zhihan leaned closer wearily, looked up at him with misty almond-shaped eyes, and asked:
"Why did you start smoking? You never smoked before."
Ling Yan only tilted his head to look at her, and finally stubbed out his cigarette.
Lin Zhihan was so sleepy that she vaguely remembered saying something and then drifting off to sleep.
The next day was Wednesday, and there were no classes in the morning. Lin Zhihan woke up and tried to stretch, but found she couldn't move.
Lin Zhihan:
Make sure you're not missing any limbs, but that you've suffered serious physical injuries.
Lin Zhihan's face darkened.
Struggling to sit up, Lin Zhihan noticed something familiar on her neck and lifted it up to take a look.
It was the silver ring necklace that Ling Yan usually wore. But Ling Yan had disappeared again.
Lin Zhihan's face didn't look good.
Gently turn the silver ring.
Sure enough, the familiar deep male voice came from inside:
"Baby, wake up!"
Baby
Lin Zhihan's body trembled.
I don't want to talk to him for now.
Drop the silver ring.
But she doesn't know how to turn it off.
Ever since Lin Zhihan saw that thing on Qin Zixian's neck, she had been indignant.
Qin Zixian was right; almost everyone close to Ling Yan had one, the only difference being the color.
Just like Ling Yan's, it's silver.
Lingling is black.
Ye Yunran is golden.
Qin Zixian is purple.
...
So the one around her neck now belongs to Ling Yan.
This seems to be a sign.
A marker of Ling Yan's own identity.
When they first met, Ling Yan had shown her and Ye 2 how high-tech this thing was.
Of course, Ye Yunran was the first to get it, which made Lin Zhihan jealous for a long time.
The man promised to give her one too, but he never managed to do so.
What does this mean?
Is he only admitting she's his now?
Lin Zhihan pouted. The things she once really wanted, she no longer wanted after Qin Zixian had them before her.
Lin Zhihan was so angry that she was about to take the silver ring necklace off her neck and throw it away.
"Baby, this necklace is my engagement ring. It's a symbol of my status in the Ling family."
Please don't lose it.
"This is different from others." Ling Yan seemed to have eyes that could see a thousand miles, able to see Lin Zhihan's every move from a distance.
"Ling Yan, you bastard!" Lin Zhihan was naturally angry at his inhuman behavior last night.
"Yes, I'm an idiot, didn't you not have class this morning?"
"Sleep a little longer, I'll come back and pick you up later." Ling Yan received a call early this morning from Lin Xuyao, the head of the Lin family, who wanted to arrange a marriage between their family and the Ling family.
Lin Xuyao was very polite and tactful in expressing his intention to take Lin Zhihan back to the Lin family to host the family reunion banquet for the second young lady of the Lin family on Friday.
The Lin family head asked Ling Yan if he would do her the honor of attending, suggesting that perhaps the elders of both families should find a time to sit down together and discuss the marriage alliance between the Ling and Lin families.
Ling Yan had her own considerations and was about to refuse.
The Lin family head then said that this was actually Lin Zhihan's idea, and that their Lin family could provide Lin Zhihan with family protection.
The Lin family was also willing to stand with the eldest branch of the Ling family and help Ling Yan fight against the second branch.
Ling Yan held the lighter in his hand, his face remaining expressionless.
But in his heart he thought, Zhihan actually went to such lengths for him.
She clearly hated that scumbag father who abandoned her and her mother.
Ling Yan's fingers clenched tightly, and her heart ached along with them.
Although she said she wouldn't forgive him, she was actually prepared to fight alongside him.
Ling Yan gently rotated the phone
"Yes, Patriarch Lin, I will have Uncle Yan negotiate my engagement with the Lin family. As for the family reunion banquet on Friday..."
I will attend as scheduled.
Lin Xuyao happily agreed.
His daughter hadn't lied to him after all.
She really is with the young master of the Ling family.
This was incredibly good news for him.
Lin Xuyao excitedly went to prepare for the engagement between the Ling and Lin families, making sure it wasn't any less impressive than the engagement banquet between the Ling and Qin families two years ago.
According to Lin Zhihan, he and Ling Yan had been together for four years. The Qin family had essentially been a shield for his good daughter for two years.
Everyone knows that the Ling family is now in charge of its heir.
The influence of the second branch of the Ling family is far less than before.
The Ling family has two branches, and Shen Qing, being the only woman in the country, is powerless to help.
The reason she hasn't been kicked out by Ling Xiaofeng is probably because she still has a pair of Ling twin brothers on her side.
But it's said that the two brothers have recently started to feel dissatisfied with their mother.
At least Ling Kun, the eldest of the Ling twins, was a frequent presence in Ling Yan's life.
Although the youngest son is still with Shen Qing, the situation is pressing.
Perhaps, Shen Qing's final solution will be to push both of her sons to Ling Yan's side, using the bonds between the Ling family cousins to preserve her own dignity.
