Under the bright white moonlight, Leng Ling slept quietly, her peaceful sleeping face trapped in the shadows, giving people a different kind of beauty.
Lien sat on the edge of the bed, silently staring at the other person's sleeping face.
In the air, the pleasant fragrance of orchids spread, exuding an alluring fragrance like deadly poison, making him lean in involuntarily.
"If you want to save him, you must promise me something."
Karl's thick voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"As long as it doesn't hurt him, I'm willing to do whatever you want."
"Find an opportunity to make the relationship between you public. We must discredit Leng Ling so that he has no place in Lansen."
The golden pupils suddenly shrank, "I refuse."
"Then, unfortunately, I have no choice but to kill him."
"no!"
"Then agree to my conditions."
Rean recalled the conversation with Karl during the day and tightened his grip on the edge of the bed little by little.
Ling, I'm sorry...
"Well……"
The sleeping man groaned softly, and his deep black eyes slowly opened, "Why did you come in?"
Li En put away the emotions in his eyes and smiled leisurely, reaching out to touch Leng Ling's delicate face, "I see you are sleeping soundly, and I don't want to disturb you. How about it? My friend's house is nice, isn't it?"
"kindness."
Leng Ling lowered his eyes lightly, his thick eyelashes leaving black shadows on his eyelids. He sat up, looked at the man in front of him, and said in a clear voice, "Since you are here, that's good. There are some things I want to ask you."
"Say it."
"Is that letter here with you? Where did you go when I fainted?"
Leng Ling asked two questions, and his voice was slightly tired, but it pierced Li En's heart like a needle.
Li En lowered his head bitterly and asked, "Ling, are you doubting me?"
"No."
Lien answered truthfully, "I don't have the letter. Taking it away won't do me any good. As for when you fainted, I was outside the hall. I was stopped by Karl's men and had no way to come to you."
"What is their purpose in doing this?"
"Let you show up and kill you."
Her pretty eyebrows were slightly raised, and Leng Ling said calmly, "Since they want my life, why did they change their minds?"
"Maybe they are hindered by your identity. After all, you are the envoy sent by Lan Sen. They don't dare to do anything to you. Maybe they just want to give Lan Sen a warning."
Leng Ling listened to Li En's explanation without saying a word, as if he was judging whether there was anything wrong with Li En's answer.
After pondering for a moment, he said in a calm voice, "If the letter is not with you, then who will take it away?"
A beautiful and charming face flashed before his eyes, and Lean said without thinking, "I suspect it is Ruth Ferdinand. There are only a few of us in the car, and she is also involved in this plan."
Obsidian-like pupils dimmed quietly, Leng Ling nodded and said, "It can only be her."
"I'll go find her tomorrow and ask her to hand over the letter."
"You have no evidence, she won't admit it, and she was involved in the whole incident. Karl must also know about the letter."
Li En sat on the edge of the bed, his handsome eyebrows furrowed, "Is this all we can do?"
Leng Ling nodded lightly, "Valencia insists on continuing the fight and is unwilling to accept the president's personal letter. We don't need to make concessions, so let it go."
Li En put his arm around Leng Ling's shoulders and held him in his arms, "Ling, I'm sorry, I can't help you."
"This has nothing to do with you. Tomorrow, you can take me to Seyol for a walk."
"good."
Lien put his fingers into Leng Ling's hair and stroked it over and over again. The soft hair had a silky touch, "Ling, it's getting late. I'll sleep with you."
Leng Ling closed her eyes quietly, leaned on the warm chest and slowly fell asleep, "Okay."
Early the next morning, Leng Ling and Lien came to the busiest street in Seyol, while Ralph and Roy returned to Kesel first.
The two of them walked on the street, looking at the buildings with Valencian ethnic customs and the crowds of people passing by, their cold and clear eyes filled with meaning.
My eyes caught an alley next to it, and it seemed to have no end at a glance.
It was such an alley that was completely different from the lively and noisy atmosphere around it. Leng Ling couldn't help but wonder what kind of place it was in this alley.
Pointing to the alley, Leng Ling said in a calm voice, "Let's go there."
"As commanded."
The long and deep alleyway cuts off the hustle and bustle of the avenue outside.
The warm sun in winter shines leisurely over the alley, giving it a layer of tranquil golden color, making people forget the troubles of the world and feel as if they have arrived in a different world.
The two of them were walking side by side, and their hands touched each other unconsciously, and their fingers intertwined.
In this place where no one knows them, they can hold each other's hands like this, walking slowly in this quiet alley like a real couple.
The two walked silently, bathing in the warm sunshine of early winter, enjoying this moment of comfort. The original unhappiness was forgotten because of the current comfort.
Leng Ling turned his head slightly, glanced around, and suddenly noticed a small shop in front of him.
This is a jewelry store that looks very inconspicuous from the outside. If it weren't for the shop sign hanging outside the door, no one would notice it.
Leng Ling stared at the store, and for some reason, slowly walked over.
Putting his cold fingertips on the door handle, he pushed the door open and entered.
The store was very quiet, the owner seemed not to be there, and the black military boots made a slight muffled sound when they stepped on the water-stained floor.
Late at night, my eyes scanned the various small accessories hanging on the wall, such as earrings, hairpins, necklaces and other small things that girls like.
Turning his head slightly, Leng Ling glanced at these accessories.
Suddenly, his eyes moved slightly.
In the corner, a pair of dimly colored rings caught his attention.
Not as dazzling as a fashionable diamond ring, the two black and silver rings are simple and elegant in shape. At first glance, they look plain.
Li En was not interested in any of these things, but when he saw that Leng Ling seemed to be paying close attention to the pair of rings, the corner of his heroic mouth quietly curved.
"Sir, is this what you are looking at?"
A pleasant voice came from behind the counter.
Leng Ling slowly turned his head and saw a young girl walking over.
Long light golden hair fell down, and a bunch of large colored rosin wood beads hung on the girl's white snowy neck.
In this capital city with a strong ethnic style, this exotic jewelry on the girl's chest silently exudes a unique mystery.
Leng Ling nodded slightly, and the girl picked up the pair of rings and put them in his hands, "Take a closer look."
The two rings, which are almost identical, are engraved with several rough patterns.
Leng Ling held up the ring, raised it to eye level, and then gently put it together.
