Chapter 682: I’m Glad That it’s Not You

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Xia Ling went home. She continued to record songs, finish her jobs and look after her child.

She lived her life as per normal and nothing interesting happened. Sometimes, Shaohui would ask her, “Sister, when do you think Uncle Li will make Aunt Su move out? I really miss Er Mao and Uncle Li’s cooking.”

Xia Ling lowered her gaze and held back her emotions.

“It’s up to him.” She said, “It doesn’t matter if he chases her away or not.”

However, Shaohui could still hear the nervousness and anticipation in her voice. The child was very anxious and anticipated for the moment to arrive every day. Stupid dad, mom already gave you a chance. You better seize it!

Perhaps the Heavens heard his voice.

Soon, Li Lei came over to visit. In the golden autumn sunlight, he wore a thin shirt which outlined his defined muscles. After undergoing intense combat training for years, his body was even more flawless, and even that sharp scar on his face made him more masculine.

He held an elegant gift box in his hand and appeared at her doorstep.

Shaohui opened the door. “Uncle Li, Uncle Li!”

Li Lei flashed a toothy smile and leaned down to pat his head. “Shaohui, have you been good?”

“Yes!” He nodded his head vigorously and pulled him into the house. “Sister is currently practicing a dance in the dance studio. I will call for her!” He then tip-topped and discreetly whispered beside Li Lei’s ear. “This afternoon, she said that she wanted to eat hazelnut cake.” After that, he winked at Li Lei.

Li Lei understood his intentions and smiled even more vibrantly. “Since your sister is dancing now, let’s not disturb her. After she’s done practicing, you can tell her that I’m here. Let me use your kitchen for a while.”

“Ok!” Shaohui happily led him to the kitchen.

After Xia Ling was done practicing, she showered and changed her clothes before heading downstairs. The first thing she saw was that there was another adult in the living room. Shaohui and Li Lei were holding a large hazelnut cake and smiling as they waited for her.

“Sister, quickly come over to eat. It’s delicious!” Shaohui bounced and grabbed her hand.

However, she remained rooted to the ground and quietly asked, “Is it done?”

Li Lei said, “Su Tang has already moved out. However...”

Xia Ling slightly raised her eyebrows.

Looking at her expression, he was anxious but still bravely said, “Xiao Rui is still living at my place. As Su Tang wants to take care of him, she moved somewhere that isn’t that far away for convenience’s sake.” He initially thought that since Su Tang stubbornly gave birth to this child, once she moved out, she would definitely move out with him. However, this was far from reality. Su Tang said that Xiao Rui really liked the environment of the villa and was unwilling to move out so, in the end, he continued to stay in the villa.

She also said that she would come to visit the child.

Xia Ling sneered and guessed what Su Tang’s intentions were. She said, “Don’t tell me you can’t see it, Li Lei. Why are you two not completely cutting ties with each other?”

Li Lei said, “She was my life savior, so I can’t be overly harsh to her.”

“I have also saved your life before!” Xia Ling suddenly burst out and looked at the man. Did he know what price she paid to save his life during the paragliding incident? She went back to the nightmare of her past life and gave birth to her child while living in hell-like fear every day. After that, she painfully witnessed as her child died...

Why did all of this happen to her?

“Isn’t it because I haven’t traversed a dangerous forest with you, never experienced as much hardship as you and was less injured than her? I can never be pregnant again, do you know that?! For you, I would hurt my body without regrets. But now, do you think that another woman is worse off than me and I haven’t suffered as much as her? Is that why you’re doing this to punish me, to hurt me more and make me even more miserable?!”

They started arguing again...

Shaohui dejectedly covered his ears.

Stupid dad, do you think it’s worth it to keep that idiotic child? Anyway, he’s already so spoiled. No matter where he is, he won’t get any better, so he should just be returned to his mom’s side! Shaohui sadly stuffed some cake in his mouth. It was so delicious but, in the future, would he still be able to eat it?

He had already decided that his father had failed.

Unexpectedly, Li Lei took a few steps forward and looked at Xia Ling seriously. “It’s not like this, Xiao Ling. You will always be the only one in my heart. Do you know, I’m actually very thankful that the person who was in the forest wasn’t you. The way you talked about Su Tang is quite cruel, but this is my honest thought, and that’s why I’ve felt so guilty about her for so many years. It’s not only because she saved me, really.”

His words were surprising and Xia Ling looked at him in shock. Tears started to fall out of her eyes.

“You’re lying.” She said softly.

He reached out and stroked her long hair. “Come over and eat the cake. I also brought a present for you. Open it and take a look.”

“No.” Tears were still in Xia Ling’s eyes. Did he think that he could use these pacifying words to make her forget Li Rui and convince her to stay in his house? Impossible.

Li Lei very gently said, “Take a look.”

He pulled her hand and opened the elegant box. In the box was a very beautiful key which glistened with a silvery white shine.

Xia Ling asked, “What’s this?”

“Do you still remember the apartment that we used to live in together? I’ve changed the lock. Besides you and me, no one else can enter, not even my grandpa or Su Tang. I’ve already moved back to the apartment. Xiao Ling, today I wanted to invite you back. Are you willing to move back with me?” Since Xiao Rui liked the villa, he could stay there by himself. Besides, he had servants and butlers to look after him, so nothing would go wrong.

He renovated the apartment and combined it with the apartment next door. It was a place sufficient for him, her and her child.

Xia Ling looked at the key, speechless.

Shaohui was so engrossed that he forgot to swallow the half-eaten cake in his mouth. He did not think that his stupid dad could find a way out. He had moved his sister so much that she was at a loss for words.

“Xiao Ling, come with me.” Li Lei was even more gentle.

Xia Ling finally returned to reality and took a step back frantically. “Let me think about it.” She weakly said. It turned out that although she hated him and rejected him so much, she was still so moved by his actions that she was at a loss for words today. Xia Ling was very scared that she was poisoned again by him and would not be able to escape from now on.

“No matter how long you take, I will always be by your side and wait for your answer.” Li Lei said. Although he was burning with anxiety, he understood that he could not rush her. He needed to give her time. “How about you try some of the hazelnut cake first? Shaohui and I made it, and it tastes the same as the one I made for you in the past.”

She walked in front of the table, cut out a piece of the cake and tasted it. Sure enough, it was as delicious as the one she had in the past.

Her eyes started to water again.
