Chapter 55
Xiang Siling lives in a large flat by the river. The 288-square-meter house is shared by just her and her daughter. I hired a nanny who works day shifts but doesn't live at home. Such a big house is often empty.
When I bought this house for her, Li Meiling was a little reluctant as it cost six or seven million. In front of the salesperson, Luo Hongmin waved his hand and said, "Why are you talking so much? Just buy the best for our daughter." The salesperson was surprised and kept complimenting the two bosses, saying that the two bosses were so good to his daughter.
Later, when Xiang Siling was being fucked hard against the floor-to-ceiling window with a 270-degree view of the river, she looked at the cross-river bridge and the sparkling river water in the distance, and thought to herself, the scenery here is really beautiful. When I was a teenager, like an ugly duckling, I never thought that one day I would own such a nice house and such beautiful scenery. They all said that she was ungrateful. Was she really wrong? Want too much.
The community is known for having the best large flats with river views in Xiangcheng. It is said that the king tree in the community alone cost 800,000 yuan. For such an expensive property, the occupancy rate is rather sparse, but the supporting facilities are indeed top-notch.
The community clubhouse is on the 30th floor, one of which is a glass-covered swimming pool. The facilities are very good and the water is clean, but few people come to swim. After work, Xiang Siling likes to soak in the pool alone, staring at the clouds outside the window.
The same is true today.
She was wearing a black bikini. Because she had been doing fitness and paying attention to skin care for many years, her figure was well-proportioned, especially her snow-like skin, which was glowing white. Even though the swimming pool lifeguard was very familiar with her, he still couldn't help but take a peek.
Xiang Siling didn't come alone today.
She swam slowly in the swimming pool, like a relaxed mermaid. Luo Huaizheng was dressed neatly in a shirt and trousers, sitting on a beach chair by the pool. But he wasn't looking at her, nor at his phone. He clasped his hands, rested his arms on his thighs, and looked out the window at the clouds and tall buildings, not knowing what he was thinking.
She swam towards Siling lightly. At this time, she was like a hidden coral fish, making almost no loud sound. When it reached his feet, he was so distracted that he didn't even notice it. Xiang Siling's beautiful eyes were filled with a sweet smile, and her arms suddenly paddled, splashing the water all over his suit pants.
Luo Huaizheng was startled and looked at her coldly with a frown. As a result, she pushed her arms against the wall of the pool and jumped out of the water, splashing half of his body with water. Luo Huaizheng was about to get up to find a towel, but she held his thigh down.
She bent down with her head down, her whole body wet, water drops slid down her cheeks, flowed down her arms, and wet his pants again.
"Luo Huaizheng, you don't keep your word." She said coquettishly.
Luo Huaizheng leaned back without leaving any trace, distanced himself from her, stared into her eyes which were still full of smiles, and said, "You asked me to swim with you, and I came too. What else are you dissatisfied with?"
"Tsk..." She pouted. "You sound like a scumbag when you say that. Are you going to swim with me? You won't even change into your swimming trunks or get in the water. You're a landlubber."
Luo Huaizheng didn't want to talk nonsense with her, and said calmly: "I can't swim."
"I can teach you."
"I don't want to learn. I'm afraid of water."
Xiang Siling chuckled.
What a lively, arrogant and slightly temperamental young man. She felt fresh and happy.
Luo Huaizheng's gaze rested on her slender white hands, which were still casually pressed on his thighs.
"Take your hands away."
Unexpectedly, Xiang Siling's fingers gripped even tighter. When had Luo Huaizheng ever had such an ambiguous contact with a woman? His handsome face suddenly turned red and his expression darkened. He grabbed her wrists and threw them away.
But she didn't care. She stared at him with her damp but cold eyes and said, "Luo Huaizheng, kiss me."
Commanding tone.
Luo Huaizheng's cheek muscles twitched and he turned his head away.
Xiang Siling looked at his tense neck and cold eyes, laughed, and whispered in his ear: "College bully, you are so smart, don't you understand that there is a price to pay for making a deal with a vicious woman like me. But you are so stingy that you don't even want to give me a kiss.
Do you think I don't know that these days, you have been hanging out with me just for those connections and those petty benefits? Or is it for some other purpose?
Tell me, if you don’t tell me, how can I satisfy you? I have said it before, I will give you everything I can. Because I love you, just like I love the God in my heart. ”
Luo Huaizheng slowly turned his head back and looked at her from a distance of less than ten centimeters. Even though she put her arms around his neck, he did not move away, as if they were the most intimate couple.
"You said you loved me?"
She raised her head in his arms and looked at him with eyes as pure as a girl's: "Don't you believe it?"
The man pinched her chin hard with his dry and rough fingers. Xiang Siling was shocked, but did not avoid him and still looked at him innocently.
"I..." Luo Huaizheng's voice was a little hoarse.
Xiang Siling only felt that at this moment, he was obviously trying hard to be patient, suppressing his fierce and angry expression, which was extremely sexy.
"I can't say those connections. I don't care about the benefits you bring." Luo Huaizheng slowed down his tone, "I am also a person with desires, and I am a person with very limited abilities now. Who would let go of the benefits that are obtained for free? I can see that you put your heart into those things. Thank you. If you are not really doing this for my own good, you would not have arranged it so thoughtfully. However, you are right. There is only one thing I want to know the most. I asked you a long time ago, but you didn't tell me."
Xiang Siling was silent.
"I have finished my prison sentence now. My youth and life are gone. I accept all of this. Your father is dead, and I can't overturn the verdict. But..." He tapped his chest hard with his finger, "And here,
Luo Huaizheng pursed his lips tightly, and the muscles around his teeth trembled slightly: "You don't know that after killing someone with your own hands, you will not be able to sleep all night long, and even if you fall asleep, it will be full of nightmares. Every day when you wake up, you have to face the fact that you have become a social scum, a criminal.
It has been seven years, and even now, I still dream about that evening. I dream that I used that iron candlestick to smash your father's head, causing him to bleed and die with his eyes open. I don't want to suffer in this life, maybe only you can help me. If you love me, if you really have loved me, can you give me a little mercy? Tell me the truth so that I can get over what happened seven years ago, stop looking back, and move on to the next stage of my life.
Let me know whether I am a good person or a bad person. I just want to get this one thing straight, okay? ”
Xiang Siling lowered his head at some point.
When she looked up again, her face was covered with tears.
She at this moment was different from every other side of her that Luo Huaizheng had seen since their reunion. Neither coquettish nor pretentious; neither vicious nor hypocritical. She looked at him with tears in her eyes, which were clear and beautiful like an angel.
Luo Huaizheng once again thought of the two silent streams under the cold moonlight. They were running so quietly and so lonely; they were obviously very close, yet they seemed to be staring at him from a very long distance, across seven years of pain and darkness.
He was suddenly confused and wondered, what did her eyes look like seven years ago? But he was in hell at that time and never paid any attention to her.
Xiang Siling suddenly let go of his hand, stood up, took two steps back, and put some distance between them.
Luo Huaizheng looked up at her with red eyes.
Xiang Siling just felt that he looked exactly like the pure and honest boy seven years ago, so desirable and so intoxicating.
She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, smiled gently, and said, "Luo Huaizheng, you have always been a good person."
Luo Huaizheng's Adam's apple moved and his eyes became redder.
She wiped her tears a few more times, looked him straight in the eyes with an almost calm expression, and said, "We will be relieved. We will all be relieved. You will know the truth of that year soon. I promise."
