Chapter 771: Offer tea to apologize
Chapter 771 Offering Tea to Apologize
Xia Ling sighed, some things are so intertwined with love and hate.
Li Lei half-knelt down, held her hand on the hospital bed, and looked at her carefully with a pair of deep eyes: "Xiao Ling, do you think I am not ruthless enough?"
She felt warm in her heart and shook her head.
Hand out his hand, he rubbed his short hair that felt so good: "I just like how silly you are."
The man she loves has principles and bottom lines, and will not do anything terrible or cruel even when provoked to the extreme. This kind of man makes her feel safe and dependent.
So, his eyebrows widened and he smiled softly: "You are stupid."
She ruffled his short hair again: "Yes, I am so stupid that I fell in love with you."
The two stared at each other tenderly, and for a moment, they laughed together.
The days on the cruise ship were as peaceful as water. Xia Ling was lying in a luxurious and comfortable ward to recuperate. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows on the entire wall, the pale golden sunlight cast little bits of gold on the blue sea.
Her injuries healed quickly, and I don’t know what medicine the doctors used. She was able to get out of bed and walk on her own within a few days. After she walked half a circle on the deck in her loose robe, Xia Moyan found her and said, "I'm going back to the mountains. Are you really not going to follow me?"
She looked up at her brother and said, "Send hello to my parents for me."
Xia Moyan looked a little unkind. People say that married girls are like water thrown away. But before she got married, she just stuck to that broken piece of wood. How could she be so good in the future?
Sooner or later, that old piece of wood must be taught a lesson...
Poor classmate Li Xiaolei’s impression in his brother-in-law’s mind became even worse.
Xia Moyan left alone. Before leaving, the owner of Paradise gave him the entire cruise ship as a gift, but he didn't even blink, and he changed hands and gave the cruise ship to Xia Ling in front of everyone.
Everyone is not calm anymore. What is the relationship between this girl and Xia Moyan?
Unfortunately, no matter how much I tried to insinuate myself, I couldn't get a single word out of her mouth.
A group of people worked hard to take care of Xia Ling, lest they neglect this girl who was cherished by the Imperial Master. This made Li Lei feel much more relaxed. He spent most of his time accompanying Shao Ling. Hui.
Shaohui was trapped in Paradise this time, witnessed too many dark sides, and was beaten and whipped with extremely cruel methods. These things left a deep shadow in the child's young mind, making him fall asleep every night. Sometimes I dare not turn off the light. I often wake up from my dreams in the middle of the night, screaming.
The child was sensible and did not tell Xia Ling this.
He only used his small hands to tug at the corner of Li Lei's clothes and said, "Dad, I'm scared." In his little mind, his mother has suffered too much and is so fragile and overwhelmed, while his father is strong and can be relied on. .
Li Lei comforted the child gently and stayed by his side every night to accompany him to sleep.
Even during the day, I would play games with him to relax and let the shadow of imprisonment fade away little by little.
Xia Ling didn't know what he was busy with. She thought he hadn't recovered from the injuries he sustained during the confrontation with Li Feng, so she didn't bother him. The cruise ship slowly sailed toward the coastline. In her free time, she would let someone make a pot of tea, sit on the deck, enjoy the sea breeze, and write some music. Occasionally, a seagull sits on the fence.
That day, she had lunch and took a nap on the deck as usual.
Suddenly I heard footsteps. She looked up and saw Mr. Li.
Since Xia Moyan rescued her that day, Mr. Li has never appeared, so much so that Xia Ling almost forgot that there was such a person on the ship. Now, seeing the old man approaching, she closed the music sheet in her hand.
“Is something wrong?” Her voice was light, vaguely like Xia Moyan. This is the indifference that comes from the bones of the Xia family, a vague sense of alienation and coldness when looking down at the ants and the common people.
Because of Shaohui's incident, she had unknowingly regarded the old man as an outsider.
Rather than the "grandpa" she was wishful thinking at the beginning.
The old man wore a navy blue Chinese tunic suit and held a finely carved agarwood faucet crutch in his hand. He was followed by an entourage, who held a tray in his hand and a cup of tea in the tray.
They walked to Xia Ling and stood still.
The old man took the tea from the attendant, bowed slightly, and brought it to her hand.
Xia Ling's eyes turned slightly on the beautiful rain-stained azure porcelain cup, and then fell on the old man's wrinkled hands and face. She said nothing and looked indifferent.
Mr. Li is somewhat impressed by this girl. Why didn't he notice before that she was so calm? "Miss Ye," since she didn't speak, he spoke first. His voice was steady. Although he was making groveling movements, he was as calm as a rock. "This cup of tea belongs to the old man. I apologize to you. I am the only one to blame." I didn’t know that you were acquainted with the Imperial Master. I offended you so much. Please forgive me.”
Xia Ling just looked at it coldly and did not reach out to pick it up.
On the deck, the old man and the young man formed a somewhat strange scene. The old man was bent over, his pale hair blowing in the sea breeze, which made the young girl, whose face was as light as a cherry blossom, look cold and arrogant.
There was a faint anger in the heart of Mr. Li's entourage, and he couldn't help but said: "Miss Ye, the old man invites you to drink tea." He had protected the old man for most of his life, and he had always been aloof. When he spoke to Xia Ling, he didn't realize how much he had brought with him. The bossy aura seemed to have given her a huge amount of face.
So, Xia Ling smiled lightly.
"I don't lack this cup of tea." She turned her eyes away from the old man and looked at the sea. "Isn't it too cheap to buy a cup of tea to hurt my child so much?" Some things can be forgiven, and some Something she couldn't forgive. She couldn't imagine what would happen to this child if she hadn't rescued Shao Hui. At the very least, he would be controlled by others for the rest of his life. In serious cases...
She thought of the scenes in Paradise, and her heart felt like needles pricking her heart.
Mr. Li didn't know her well, so he relied on Su Tang and other subordinates to collect a lot of information. In the information, they all said that this girl was stupid, impulsive and fragile, somewhat similar to the eldest daughter of the Gu family who was imprisoned. She only knew how to cry and rely on men when in trouble, and she had no ability at all.
Now, I hit a snag, neither soft nor hard, and found out how wrong the information was.
He couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at her again calmly. The girl in front of her looks petite and petite, with delicate features and beautiful eyes like a quietly blooming flower. She is not eye-catching at first glance, and she does not even have a strong aura, as if she can be destroyed with just a flick of a finger.
But what about the facts?
How many people in the world can do that in front of the helmsman of the Li family who has spent most of his life in black and white, with his hands stained with human blood, and who can change the color of the world and the world with just a stomp of his feet?
The next chapter will be around 10 o'clock. I slept for a while this evening and got up late. .
