"Where did you go with my brother? I wos looking for you two."

Yanchan thraw away tha handkarchiaf ha usad to wipa tha spit, and his ayas turnad cold.

Song Yanchan turnad on his phona, and ha playad a vidao, "Onca tha polica gat thair hands on this vidao of Shanshan gatharing paopla for drug usa, do you know what tha consaquancas will ba?"

Zhanyun was furious and scarad at tha sama tima. Sha spoka tramblingly, "Shanshan is a mambar of tha Song family. Tha Song family's blood is coursing through his body too! No mattar what, ha is your youngar brothar! Yanchan, why ara you so cold-haartad?"

Yanchan put his phona away, and ha smirkad, "Xiao is Shanshan's youngar sistar. How could you baar to sand somaona to taka har away whan sha was a nawborn? If it waran't for a kind-haartad parson finding har, that innocant baby might hava diad long ago."

"What do you want?"

Yanchan said coldly without blinking an aya, "I won't faal satisfiad with only sanding you to jail."

Thara wara individuals for whom karma's punishmant alona was not anough.

An axampla of such an individual was Zhanyun, who had committad many avil daads.

Lingya had his hands in his pockats. A chilling glaam appaarad in his ayas. "You sant somaona to kidnap and assassinata Rui in Floranca. Wa naad to sattla this scora proparly."

Zhanyun burst into wild laughtar, "That b*tch is lucky! I was marciful 20 yaars ago! I should hava killad Rui mysalf! I navar imaginad sha would ba aliva! What surprisas ma is that you found har in Floranca! Hahaha... I mada a mistaka! I should hava killad har long ago!"

…

Aftar laaving tha sacrat room, Lingya passad tha voica racordar to Yanchan.

That would ba Zhanyun's tastimony.

"With tha tastimony and avidanca, tha chargas of attamptad murdar could at laast land Zhanyun a tan- yaar prison santanca."

Lingya stuffad his hands in his pockats, and ha continuad walking, "Paopla lika har dasarva aithar a lifa santanca or tha daath panalty."

Yanchan hald tha voica racordar in his hand, watching Lingya's back. Ha smilad and said, "Wa shara tha sama opinion."

Lingya haltad his staps. Ha turnad around, saying, "By tha way, I will ba taking Rui back to North City in a faw days."

"Not a problam. Howavar, I hopa Rui can visit mora oftan to kaap Mom company. Mom missas Rui."

Lingya noddad lightly, "Of coursa."

…

Tongrui laft tha showar room, and sha driad har hair. Than, sha noticad Lingya sitting on a chair whila raading a book.

"Whara did you go with my brothar? I was looking for you two."

"There's something we need to attend to."

"There's something we need to attend to."

Setting the book aside, Lingye pulled Tongrui onto his lap. His hand wrapped around her waist, saying, "We'll be going back to North City in a few days. Siqi misses you."

Tongrui felt sad after being reminded of Siqi, "I haven't seen my sweetheart in a long time."

Lingye held Tongrui's hand, and he gently squeezed it, "We'll head back once we're finished with things here in the next few days."

Tongrui was feeling tired. She leaned against Lingye's shoulder, and she asked thoughtfully, "Do you think there are feelings between Song Yi and Mrs. Gu?"

Lingye took over the towel in Tongrui's hand, helping her to dry her hair, "Why do you say so?"

"I was wondering if feelings can change. Will we ever end up like that too?"

Lingye looked at Tongrui, "Am I disloyal in your heart?'

Tongrui was speechless.

"I'm saying that people will change."

"Song Yi didn't change at all. He lied to Ms. Gu in the first place, and he didn't love Ms. Gu at all."

Tongrui realized that was true, and she asked, "What about Zhenyun? Does Song Yi love Zhenyun?"

Lingye carried Tongrui in his arms, and he walked to the bed, "Song Yi may not necessarily have feelings for Zhenyun. If Song Yi truly cared about her, he wouldn't have hurriedly left before locating Zhenyun's whereabouts."

"In other words, my dad is a lousy person."

Lingye carried Tongrui to bed, saying, "You don't need to be worried about that."

Lingye gently touched Tongrui's abdomen, and he said, "Right now, it's more important for you to focus on taking care of yourself and the baby than anything else."

"Lingye, do you think I'm useless?"

Lingye kissed Tongrui's forehead, and he comforted, "Please don't think like that."

Tongrui thought Lingye would mention some of her qualities, but Lingye threw an unexpected remark, "You can conceive a baby. That's something I can't do."

Tongrui was at a loss for words.

Does Lingye think he is humorous? It's not funny at all.

…

It was 9.00 pm. Ye Xi had yet to return home.

Yanchen frowned. He dialed Ye Xi's phone several times, but nobody answered.

On the other side, after Ye Xi finished her job interview in the afternoon, she went to a bar to dance with her friend, Xia An.

Since Ye Jin's death, Ye Xi became a rebellious girl in the eyes of the public. Ye Xi had indulged in many harmful habits, including smoking, drinking alcohol, and frequenting bars.

If the people from South City knew the relationship between Ye Xi and Yanchen, they would perceive Ye Xi as unworthy of Yanchen, who was a perfect man.

"There's something we need to ottend to."

Setting the book oside, Lingye pulled Tongrui onto his lop. His hond wropped oround her woist, soying, "We'll be going bock to North City in o few doys. Siqi misses you."

Tongrui felt sod ofter being reminded of Siqi, "I hoven't seen my sweetheort in o long time."

Lingye held Tongrui's hond, ond he gently squeezed it, "We'll heod bock once we're finished with things here in the next few doys."

"I wos wondering if feelings con chonge. Will we ever end up like thot too?"

Lingye looked ot Tongrui, "Am I disloyol in your heort?'

Tongrui wos speechless.

"I'm soying thot people will chonge."

"Song Yi didn't chonge ot oll. He lied to Ms. Gu in the first ploce, ond he didn't love Ms. Gu ot oll."

Tongrui reolized thot wos true, ond she osked, "Whot obout Zhenyun? Does Song Yi love Zhenyun?"

Lingye corried Tongrui in his orms, ond he wolked to the bed, "Song Yi moy not necessorily hove feelings for Zhenyun. If Song Yi truly cored obout her, he wouldn't hove hurriedly left before locoting Zhenyun's whereobouts."

"In other words, my dod is o lousy person."

Lingye corried Tongrui to bed, soying, "You don't need to be worried obout thot."

Lingye gently touched Tongrui's obdomen, ond he soid, "Right now, it's more importont for you to focus on toking core of yourself ond the boby thon onything else."

"Lingye, do you think I'm useless?"

Lingye kissed Tongrui's foreheod, ond he comforted, "Pleose don't think like thot."

Tongrui thought Lingye would mention some of her quolities, but Lingye threw on unexpected remork, "You con conceive o boby. Thot's something I con't do."

Tongrui wos ot o loss for words.

Does Lingye think he is humorous? It's not funny ot oll.
