Chapter 659: Jungle memories
Chapter 659 Jungle Past
Xia Ling’s steps paused slightly.
She was surrounded by her agent, bodyguards, assistants and others, so they all stopped.
The man seemed to have sensed it. He turned his head and his deep eyes quickly fell on her. "Xiao Ling." His voice was slightly hoarse.
Xia Ling didn’t want to meet him.
She lowered her head, turned her body sideways, and was about to walk past him in a hurry.
But he grabbed his arm.
“What are you doing?!” She glared at him.
Li Lei said: "We need to talk."
"We have nothing to talk about," she said, suppressing her anger. What should have been discussed should have been completed four years ago. Since he didn't cherish her at that time, why should she forgive him now?
What is missed is ultimately missed.
The bodyguard next to her came forward and pulled Li Lei on the left and right: "Sir, please don't touch Miss Ye." He pulled Li Lei several times, but couldn't pull her away.
Li Lei ignored the bodyguards and still looked at Xia Ling: "Xiao Ling, if you really have no feelings for me at all, why are you avoiding me?"
“I’m not hiding from you!” she said.
“Then, what about taking up some of your time?” He looked deeply into her eyes. Behind him, his bodyguards appeared out of nowhere and confronted her entourage, completely overwhelming her in terms of numbers and momentum.
The situation is stronger than the person.
Xia Ling glared at him bitterly and ordered her entourage: "You all wait here."
Agent Lin Yunan said: "Li Lei, don't be arrogant, I'm going to call the police!"
Li Lei sneered coldly: "It's up to you." He pulled Xia Ling and went to a secluded place.
The night breeze blows gently.
Under a towering ancient tree, Xia Ling threw his arm away hard and said in a cold voice: "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Li Lei looked at her sadly. They hadn't seen her for four years, and now they were like strangers. His voice was no longer as strong as before, but a little cautious and nervous: "I heard that you adopted a child?"
“Boss Li came all the way here just to ask me this?” Xia Ling was still cold.
Li Lei said: "You...I..." He suddenly became a little incoherent. In front of the girl he loved, all the words he thought of before leaving seemed pale and weak. It seems that since he met her, his flirting skills have declined more and more, and now they are infinitely close to zero. He was like a young boy on campus who was just starting to fall in love. After spending a long time, he took out a gift from his pocket and said, "This is for you."
“No.” Xia Ling didn’t even look at it.
“It’s not for you.” He became even more incoherent.
Xia Ling didn’t say anything and just looked at him quietly. With great difficulty, Li Lei sorted out his thoughts: "This is for Shao Hui... Is that the name of the child you adopted?"
Her expression suddenly softened, and her nose felt a little sore.
Shaohui…
Shaohui.
For the first time, I heard this name coming from his mouth. It's a pity that this Shaohui is not their biological Shaohui...
"It's your first time to adopt a child," Li Lei started, and his thoughts became smoother. "It's hard to raise a child by yourself. I was afraid that you were inexperienced, so I picked a gift for him. The boy should like it. ”
“Do you have experience?” she said suddenly.
"Um?"
"Yes," she smiled self-deprecatingly and whispered, "You must have been very experienced in raising Li Rui over the years." Regardless of whether Li Rui was his son or not, raising him by his side in his name was It is an indisputable fact. Over the years, she had been kept awake at night by the news about their family of three, tossing and turning, but to him, all of this was "parenting experience" that he could show off to her.
Her tone made Li Lei uneasy.
“Xiao Ling, that’s not what I meant.”
"What does that mean?" She raised her head and looked at him, "Li Lei, I will raise my own child by myself, so you don't have to worry about it. I raise Shaohui because he is helpless, not because he is like you. I have a hobby of helping other people raise their children!" Her words were as sharp as a knife.
Li Lei didn't expect that she would say this, so he was silent for a moment.
"I'm sorry," he said, "I should have explained this to you earlier." Four years ago, he returned to China once just to find her and explain to her about Li Rui and Su Tang. However, that time, he saw her crying in front of the dead Pei Shaohui's grave, constantly missing her child's father...
Li Lei was disheartened and left the country again.
He vowed to do better than Pei Ziheng and provide Xiao Ling with a safer and more reliable environment. In the past four years, he has been working hard in this direction all the time, and has regulated most of the Li family's forces. He has far outshone Li Feng, and even faintly rivaled the old man, and then returned to the country.
As long as she is willing to come back to him, he will not let the old man separate them like he did back then.
But now, she doesn't want to hear even an explanation.
This made him extremely panicked.
Xia Ling looked at him steadily, and suddenly she smiled: "Explain earlier? It's easy to say this. Since you can't do it, Li Lei, don't pretend to confess in front of me!"
“Su Tang has saved my life.” Li Lei suddenly said.
Xia Ling was stunned for a moment.
Li Lei said: "Four years ago, the fighting between the Li family and rival gangs was fierce, and there was a battle that was related to the life and death of the Li family. I led a team to fight **** battles with the enemy deep in the dense forests of South Africa, annihilating several times the number of enemies. Our enemies saved the family. However, our casualties were also very heavy. Everyone was dead, whether they were mercenaries, private soldiers of the Li family, or allies... The only one who was still alive was me. He was also seriously injured and dying, losing consciousness.”
He continued telling this thrilling story without waiting for her to react, fearing that she would interrupt him as soon as he paused, fearing that she would never listen to his explanation again——
“At that time, Su Tang accompanied his grandfather to the rear headquarters.
"The war situation was urgent, and the enemy was outflanking the headquarters from all directions. Everyone in the team I led had been injected with subcutaneous trackers before departure, and at that time, all the trackers had lost their vital signs—including my own. . That was the signal for total annihilation.
“They thought I was dead.
"Including grandpa, they all gave up on me. He is the head of the Li family and must put the overall situation first. On the third day after I lost contact, they decided to retreat. This meant that I was left alone in the primeval forest and in groups. Among the beasts and enemies, there is no rescue, no medicine, no food, nothing.
“Only Su Tang never gives up no matter what.
"She refused to leave with the large army, asked her grandfather for supplies for one person, and went deep into the primitive jungle alone to find traces of me. Xiao Ling, do you know what that means? It means there is no return, a narrow escape from death, everything People regard her as a dead person...
“However, she went without hesitation.”
