Luo Shenyuan shook his head, paused, and asked, "Yining, did you meet Lu Jiaxue at the Judezhuang Restaurant yesterday?"
Yining froze in his movement to collect the chessboard.
I didn't follow her yesterday, and such a big mess happened. Lu Jiaxue's attitude towards Yining was not right at first glance. With her personality, why would she climb up the pomegranate tree to pick pomegranates? She must have had an accident and fell from a height.
He had thought of it yesterday, but he didn't expose her.
"What did he do to you that made you jump off the building and run away? He is your adoptive father, but what did he do that is against human ethics?" Luo Shenyuan continued to ask.
How did he guess that!
Luo Yining fell silent, knowing he would find out sooner or later. She suddenly decided to be honest: "I did meet him that day, and it was indeed he who forced me to jump off the building. As for why..."
Seeing him, Yi Ning could only smile bitterly and said, "I'm serious. Even I don't understand. If you really ask, he does... have that kind of feeling towards me."
More than ten years have passed, and this man still refuses to let her go.
Back then, he was obsessed with power and ambition, his playful face masking his ambition. It was impossible to say that he had no effect on her at all. Every time she saw him, Luo Yining still felt a pang of pain in her flesh.
Yi Ning suddenly thought of something and asked him, "Third brother, is Lu Jiaxue... coming to threaten you?"
That's why he came back so late today and asked her these questions!
The man before her was listening to her. His features were deep and handsome, and his tall figure shielded her from the wind and rain. He reached out and made another move: "Tell me, you must have lied yesterday."
Although he is the future Prime Minister of the Cabinet, with immense power and authority over the government, he is still relatively young and how can he defeat Lu Jiaxue?
If Lu Jiaxue confronted him in court...
Luo Shenyuan was a child of destiny, always admired by others. He couldn't fall from grace; he deserved to be respected. Furthermore, he was implicated by her; Lu Jiaxue's affairs shouldn't implicate him.
Luo Yining felt uncomfortable thinking about this. She closed her eyes and decided to continue confessing, "Lu Jiaxue said I looked like an old friend of his, so he treated me like this. That's why he adopted me as his adopted daughter. That day in Xiangyun Tower, he blocked my way and wouldn't let me leave, so I jumped from the building... I was afraid he would harm you."
Luo Shenyuan listened for a long time and said, "You don't have to hide these from me. I should know. You should also tell me, understand?"
Although he knew that he would feel uncomfortable afterwards, he was on guard and would never let Yi Ning have any contact with Lu Jiaxue again.
"Although I knew about it, I never expected him to suddenly attack me one day." Yi Ning said that she couldn't really tell Luo Shenyuan about her past. It wasn't that she didn't want to, but the past was suffocating in her heart, but how could she say it? The secrets of the past were like dead ashes, and beneath the dead ashes were rotten bones.
She was Lu Jiaxue's wife, and she was killed by him. After that, how would she face Luo Shenyuan in the future, and what identity would she use?
Luo Shenyuan slowly reached out and grasped her frail shoulders, saying with some force, "Is that all?"
Other people's expressions are too easy for him to discern.
Yi Ning knew that he was a little doubtful about her, and she smiled bitterly in her heart. After hesitating for a moment, she put her arms around his shoulders and said, "That's all I know."
In fact, she was not afraid that Lu Jiaxue would attack those around him. She was even instinctively afraid of Lu Jiaxue. However, in order to prevent Luo Shenyuan from noticing, she had been suppressing her emotions.
This matter is a dispute between her and Lu Jiaxue, don't involve him.
She rarely hugged him on her own initiative.
Her soft body pressed against his chest, and he froze for a moment. Then he reached out and held her tightly, tilting his head and saying to her, "It doesn't matter to me if he schemes against me. As long as you don't lie to me."
His tone softened.
Yining may never know how important her existence is to him.
Even when it was still taboo in the Luo family, he had developed feelings for Yi Ning. This feeling was like a secret love, a lonely walk in the darkness, she had entered when they were young. Even though he later became increasingly cold and heartless, almost forgetting himself, and his power in the officialdom gradually increased, this person always remained in the soft spot in his heart.
Yining agreed to marry him.
If she didn't agree, he might plot to force her to marry him. Whether she liked it or not, if she wanted to leave one day, he might lock her up.
Yi Ning stared out the window in silence. The heavy rain hadn't stopped yet, and she didn't know when it would. The banana trees in the dark courtyard were trembling from being hit. She smiled bitterly. "No lies!" That was the least she could ask for. She nodded, then buried her head in the crook of his neck. She would never lie to him unless she had to!
"It's okay, Third Brother is here." Thinking she was scared, he picked her up.
The maid from inside the room walked in. He gestured to her to keep quiet for some reason. He patted her back as if she were still little, then put her on the bed and said, "Go to bed early today."
He put her down and lay down beside her.
Yining hugged his arm.
Luo Shenyuan laughed, turned sideways and hugged her, letting her sleep in his arms. His voice came from above her head, very magnetic: "Go to sleep quickly, get up early tomorrow."
He patted her back again, as if to lull her to sleep.
No matter how small she is, she is not a child!
Yi Ning leaned against his solid chest, warmer than her own, feeling safe. In her childhood dreams, it felt like someone was protecting her just like this. Without a mother to protect her, and the old woman who raised her gone, she felt like a helpless drifter at home, with no one truly hers. Now this person was truly protecting her, so what else could it possibly be?
