Chapter 138 The Vulnerable Side
Nie Yao didn't know how long she had been driving until the fuel ran out and the car finally stalled and could not move forward.
She glanced at the rearview mirror and felt that the Land Rover had stopped not far away. The car door opened and the burly men walked over with a fierce look in their eyes, each holding a thick baseball bat in his hand.
Nie Yao held her breath, ready at all times. Even if these people could break the car window with a baseball bat, she would never let herself fall into their hands...
Her hands and feet had begun to sweat profusely, and she didn't even know whether it was due to stomach pain or she was ready for a fight to the death!
The stomachache was even more severe than before, so severe that she began to feel blurry.
Just then, there was a noise outside the car window. Nie Yao, who was so frightened that she was about to faint from the pain, immediately sat up straight and looked out the window.
But he found that the people standing outside the window and knocking on the car window were not the gangsters with baseball bats, but Li Jinxing in a suit.
Nie Yao unlocked the car door with trembling hands, slowly opened it, and gave Li Jinxing a long-lost smile outside the door: "You're finally here..."
She should have forced herself to smile, but the moment she saw Li Jinxing, all her grievances came flooding back, and a thick fog rose before her eyes.
"I'm coming..." Li Jinxing nodded, looked into her misty eyes, walked up to her without saying anything, hugged her in his arms, and kissed her on the top of her head: "I'm coming, don't be afraid..."
"I thought I was dreaming!" Nie Yao hit him hard, but her fist had no strength left when it landed on him. Tears welled up in her eyes. "I couldn't get through to you on the phone. I thought I'd never be able to contact you again. I couldn't find you, and now someone's following me..."
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have let you get into danger..." Li Jinxing hugged her tightly in his arms, lowered his head and apologized continuously. Hearing her complaints with tears in his voice, he felt a dull pain in his heart.
This was the first time he had felt this way. He knew that she was very strong and courageous, but she only showed such a vulnerable side in front of him...
But it was this kind of her that made him feel even more pity for her.
It also made him unable to help but want to cover her under his wings and never let anyone hurt her again!
Nie Yao was held in his warm embrace, and it took her a while to regain her composure. She sniffed and said a little embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I don't know what happened just now..."
She rarely felt so dependent on a man, and rarely showed her emotions so openly. But just now, when she saw Li Jinxing arrive in time, she could no longer hold back the emotions gushing out of her heart!
Perhaps in this critical moment, only he can make her feel truly safe!
"It's nothing, it's all my fault..." Li Jinxing shook his head and smiled faintly, holding her face and kissing her forehead. Under the dim light, he realized that Nie Yao's face was frighteningly pale, and he frowned worriedly.
"How are you? Are you injured anywhere?"
"I'm fine..." Nie Yao's emotions had calmed down a lot. She shook her head and smiled faintly at Li Jinxing.
"Are you really okay?" Li Jinxing was still a little worried and wanted to check if she had any wounds.
"I'm fine, I just got a little scared..."
Nie Yao didn't want Li Jinxing to worry about her, so in order to prove that she was not injured, she signaled Li Jinxing to let go and loosen his seat belt.
