Chapter 524 No Past
Many people said that he was calm beyond his age, and only in front of her could he be unscrupulous. He didn't have to be the respected Mr. Li Jiu, nor the burdened second son of the Li family. He was just a young man in his twenties who laughed and joked freely!
Nie Yao looked at the fatigue that flashed across his eyes and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. She reached out and stroked his brow, whispering, "I know you get very tired sometimes, but I don't care. Whenever you're tired, at least you can rest on my shoulder..."
When she said this, she adjusted her posture, letting his head rest on her shoulder, stroking his short hair and said, "No matter how busy I am, I will always leave a place for you to rest!"
Li Jinxing responded softly, leaned on her shoulder, and murmured, "Yaoyao..."
"Hmm?" Nie Yao responded in a low voice.
"When my parents had the accident, I was still a child. Afterwards, I had nightmares all the time. I don't know how long they lasted. I consulted many psychologists, and they all said I had post-traumatic stress disorder. Maybe I could recover with time, or maybe it would be very difficult..."
Nie Yao felt a little uncomfortable when she heard him say that. She nodded and whispered, "I understand, but you ultimately recovered thanks to your strong willpower..."
"Yes. Later, seeing my eldest brother independently supporting the entire family, I also vowed to study hard. From then on, my mind was free of distractions and had only one belief, which was to help my eldest brother share everything..."
"And you did it!" Nie Yao said with a low laugh.
"Yes, I did... That's why before I met you, I never thought about other women..." Li Jinxing sighed softly, and his voice became lower and lower.
"Whether it's Lin Xiaoxiao today or any woman I might meet in the future, don't believe anything they say about my past... because apart from you, I have no past!"
Nie Yao nodded, feeling both amused and helpless, and replied in a low voice, "I know..."
He was burdened with heavy responsibilities and the death of his parents was heavy on his mind. He started working on corporate mergers and acquisitions at the age of 18. How could he have more time to deal with women?
Even though today was just a small episode, he didn't want to plant any seeds of doubt in her heart!
"Li Jinxing, actually, before I met you, I never thought about starting a relationship..." Nie Yao said in a low voice. Seeing that Li Jinxing did not respond, she lowered her head and saw that he was indeed so sleepy that he fell asleep.
She shook her head helplessly and laughed, without saying another word, allowing him to lean on her shoulder and rest quietly for a while.
Owen, who was still driving in the front seat, heard Li Jinxing's sigh clearly. Thinking of how difficult it was for the two brothers who depended on each other in the past, his eyes couldn't help but become moist.
The carriage was silent, with only the sound of a few people breathing.
After an unknown amount of time, the butler Owen finally stopped the car and whispered to Nie Yao, "Miss Nie, we're here. Wake up the Second Young Master!"
Nie Yao nodded, patted Li Jinxing's face gently, and called him twice.
Li Jinxing then slowly opened his eyes, his voice hoarse after waking up: "What's wrong?"
"We're home!" Nie Yao said with a faint smile. Owen had already gotten out of the car and opened the door.
Li Jinxing nodded and glanced out the window. Sure enough, they had arrived at Li Garden. He rubbed his brows and asked with a smile, "I actually fell asleep in the car..."
