Ye Shuning's eyelashes were long and curled, fluttering like butterfly wings. Her eyes, sparkling with a shimmering light from the closeness they had just shared, seemed even more lively. Her snow-white face, a faint blush on its surface, looked alluring under the light.
Li Shaozhong looked at the lips that he had just kissed, which were a little red and swollen, and shining with an attractive luster. Li Shaozhong's eyes darkened, and he couldn't control his desire and kissed them again.
This time, Li Shaozhong was much gentler than before. He didn't want to scare Ye Shuning, and he hoped to let his young fiancée feel his gentleness.
The two people hugged each other tightly to express their longing for each other.
Seeing that Li Shaozhong was not done yet, Ye Shuning raised her hand and pinched Li Shaozhong's waist. Only then did Li Shaozhong reluctantly let go of Ye Shuning.
Ye Shuning panted and said, "Brother Li San, it's not easy for us to meet. Let's take this opportunity to have a good chat."
Li Shaozhong nodded and hugged Ye Shuning and they sat on the bed.
Ye Shuning thought of Li Shaozhong's skinny body that she had just touched. She took his hand and said, "Brother Li San, how did you lose so much weight?"
Li Shaozhong took Ye Shuning's hand, stroking it with his thumb. He said, "Not long after you were kidnapped, I fell ill. My second brother took me to live with my parents and took care of me for a long time before I recovered. Plus, I was worried about you, so I became so thin."
Ye Shuning didn't expect that Li Shaozhong would still have a serious illness as described in the book. She was distressed. "Now you should be relieved. Jingyu and I are both fine. You should take good care of yourself in the future. Next time I see you like this, I will ignore you."
Li Shaozhong quickly hugged his young fiancée and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll take good care of myself and make myself plump and healthy. Xiao Ning, I'm sorry. This time, it's our Li family that has implicated you and caused you so much suffering."
Ye Shuning didn't struggle. She patted Li Shaozhong on the back and said soothingly, "This time, I'm actually glad that they tied Jingyu and me up together. This way, I have a chance to rescue Jingyu. Otherwise, where would we find Jingyu? Wouldn't we blame ourselves for the rest of our lives?"
Listening to his young fiancée's words, Li Shaozhong was moved and blamed himself. "You are always so considerate. This time, our Li family owes you a lot."
Ye Shuning said, "What are we talking about whether we owe each other or not? Aren't we a family from now on?"
Li Shaozhong was touched and happy to hear Ye Shuning say this, "Of course we are family. Don't just talk about me, tell me how you escaped? How did you get to Nangang?"
Ye Shuning recounted her experiences along the way, though of course she didn't mention anything about the research institute. She told Li Shaozhong how she escaped and how she had reached Nangang on the Qin family's cargo ship. She also told Li Shaozhong about her experiences in Nangang, including publishing comic books, writing scripts, filming movies, and applying for university.
"Brother Li, I'm doing very well in Nangang now. Tell my father not to worry about me. Jingyu is also doing well. He studies very hard in school and his grades are always among the best."
Li Shaozhong's heart was filled with ups and downs as he listened to Ye Shuning's story. He felt sorry for the suffering his young fiancée had endured and was proud of her achievements. She was indeed the girl he valued and was truly amazing.
However, Li Shaozhong repeatedly heard the name Qin Zongye from Ye Shuning's words. He was the benefactor who saved his young fiancée. Li Shaozhong also heard that his fiancée had a high opinion of Qin Zongye and that they interacted frequently, which made Li Shaozhong feel a sense of crisis.
This was a beast-like intuition. He felt that Qin Zongye was a threat to him. Just ask yourself, what man wouldn't like such an excellent and perfect girl like Ye Shuning?
Besides, Ye Shuning will definitely have frequent contact with him in Nangang. Will Qin Zongye take the opportunity to pursue Ye Shuning?
Qin Zongye was of the same age as him, had status, position, ability, and was also very wealthy. Such a person was undoubtedly very competitive. At least he was no less capable than himself, and even more so.
Li Shaozhong began to gradually find out information about Qin Zongye by asking about Ye Shuning's life in Nangang. The more he learned, the more unsure Li Shaozhong became.
Ye Shuning also asked about her father's situation and the Li family's situation. She was very excited to learn that her father was also in Zhuzhou.
She took Li Shaozhong's hand and said, "Brother Li San, will I have a chance to meet my father?"
Li Shaozhong knew his fiancée was anxious, so he comforted her, "Don't worry, Ling will stay in the mainland for a week this time. I will tell Uncle Ye about your news, and I will find a chance for you to meet."
After understanding each other's recent situation, Ye Shuning said, "Brother Li, you know that given my current situation and the situation in the mainland, it is unlikely that I will return to the mainland. And you can't go to Nangang either. After all, we both have families and we can't ignore them.
So we have to stay apart, and even seeing each other is hard. I don't know when this situation will change. If you can't wait..."
Before Ye Shuning could finish, Li Shaozhong covered her mouth and said, "They all said you were buried in the sea before, but I didn't believe it. I told them I would keep looking for you and would wait for you to come back. I told them that I, Li Shaozhong, would always make you my wife in this life, and I would never marry anyone else. I really thought so in my heart."
Now that you're safe and sound, I won't change my mind. No matter how many years it takes, I will wait. Sooner or later, we'll be reunited. I'm full of confidence. As long as you want me, I won't give up on you."
It would be a lie for Ye Shuning to say that she was not touched. Li Shaozhong knew what they were going to face but was still so determined. She certainly would not let him down.
Ye Shuning held Li Shaozhong's hand tightly, sniffed with red eyes, and said, "Brother Li, I won't abandon you as long as you don't leave me. I will wait for the day when we can be reunited. I believe that day will not be too far away. I just want you to wait for me for a few years. By then, you will be an older young man. I wonder if Uncle Li, Aunt Yang and others will blame me."
Li Shaozhong hugged Ye Shuning and said, "Our marriage is decided by ourselves. Even my parents cannot influence my marriage. I can only be Ye Shuning's husband in this life, and Ye Shuning can only be Li Shaozhong's wife."
Upon hearing this, Ye Shuning stretched out her hand and said with a smile, "Then let's make a pinky promise and make this a hundred-year promise. We will grow old together from now on."
Li Shaoxin was so happy that he stretched out his pinky finger and hooked it with Ye Shuning's pinky finger and said, "Then it's a deal. We will have children in the future and grow old together. In the end, we will have many children and grandchildren."
