Chapter 27 Old Friend?
Belle let go of his hand.
Levi’s mouth widened, and he was stunned. His hand that was pushed away by her was stiff in the air. He didn’t understand it. He wanted to help her, but the woman refused! Why did she refuse? He just wanted to help her out because he pitied her. In fact, it was him who should refuse to help her.
Ethan’s narrow and long eyes flashed, and he looked at Belle. The cold air around him moderated a lot. He raised his eyes to confront Levi’s eyes, and his deep eyes were more provocative.
"Damn it!" Levi cursed and stared at Belle fiercely. Belle lowered her head, and no one knew what she was thinking. From Levi’s perspective, he could only see her shoulders trembling slightly, looking like she was extremely afraid of Ethan. So she even had no courage to leave here with him.
His entire face was dark. What was the relationship between this woman and Ethan? She was so afraid of Ethan and was anxious to leave here immediately. However, Ethan threw out a word lightly and let her make a choice, then she had no courage to leave with him.
"Don’t be afraid. I’ll act up to my promise and take you out of here as long as you want." In order to increase his persuasion, Levi held her wrist again and turned back to open the door of the private room. His tone was solemn.
Belle finally looked up at him. Even though she had known that this man was not Ryan, the same appearance tranced her.
How good would it be if he was Ryan?
"I have something to tell you. Let’s go out." Belle made a determined decision and pulled him to walked out, completely ignoring Ethan .
Levi was flattered, thinking that she decided to leave with him, and turned back to Ethan with a provocative look.
"If you go one step further, don’t blame me for not leaving retreat for you."
Behind her, the man’s cold and ruthless voice rang, like a thunder that exploded on the ground.
Belle habitually stopped and struggled for a while. In the end, she did not look back, and walked out of the room side by side with Levi. Her back was slightly arched, and her right leg was inconvenient. She stood short next to him. In fact, she was about 1.7 meters. At the time, it seemed that she was no more than 1.6 meters.
Levi was in a good mood. This silly woman was finally enlightened, and did not disappoint him.
After walking through two private rooms, Belle stopped suddenly at the corner. Levi, who was pulling her sleeve, almost dragged her over. Belle gritted her teeth and used her strength to let Levi stop.
"What’s wrong?" He stopped and looked at her, puzzled.
Belle looked into his eyes and opened her dry and pale lips, "You know me?"
"Hazard a guess?"
"I don’t know you." Belle’s eyes moved, and her eyes with black and white sharply contrasted finally had a hint of color, "You suddenly helped me. I should thank you. But I don’t understand. Why did you help me? Unless, before today, we’ve met or known each other somewhere, but I don’t really remember you."
Except for the fact that Levi looked like the most important person in her life.
The woman close at hand was really so different from the vague figure in his impression.
Levi took two steps forward, and became so close to her that there was only half a distance of a half fist between them. As long as he lowered his head, he could see her face and expression clearly.
"Ten years ago, I’ve met you." He said.
Belle was shocked, ten years ago? Wasn’t that...
Levi observed the change in her expression, and was lost in his memories, "Ten years ago, during the Spring Festival, I returned home to visit my parents. I met you in the Luo family’s holiday villa. At that time, you were only 13 or 14 years old. Still an arrogant little girl. You always followed Nathan, and let him hang out with you... Time passes too fast. I don’t think you remember me."
He said slowly with a nostalgic tone.
Belle widened her eyes. Her face that was like a pool of backwaters had a stunned and surprised look, "You... You are a friend of Brother Nathan while he was studying abroad?"
Levi was surprised, "You remember me?"
She was really the one who should be surprised.
Belle did not expect that after so many years, she became unrecognizable. When she returned to Gang City again and saw its prosperity, everything had changed, and everything had become unfamiliar. Even she herself doubted that if she had entered the wrong time and space.
Even Ethan, who hated her guts, failed to recognize her at a glance.
Not to mention those friends who had good relationships with her in the circle. During her time in Underground City, she had met many acquaintances. Fortunately, no one recognized her.
Belle was relieved.
She didn’t want to meet any acquaintances, and let them find that she still existed in this world. If she could, she just wanted to get the money she wanted right away, and then leave this unfamiliar city.
"I remember a little. I remember you are a junior of brother Nathan." When it came to the past, the only thing that didn’t make her feel awkward was probably Nathan.
Brother Nathan was probably still abroad?
"You have a good memory. You are right." Levi thought she had forgotten him, and his tone was a little warmer at the time. Recalling the past, thinking of Nathan, and then looking at the woman in front of him, Levi restrained his smile, "How come you work here?"
"Mr. Song just returned from abroad?" Belle asked in reply.
"I came back two years ago. It has been a long time." Levi still held on to that question, "I haven’t contacted Nathan for several years. He doesn’t care about you now, and even let you work in this kind of place? And, what happened to your voice, your face, and right foot?"
He asked a series of questions.
Probably because of Nathan, Levi paid more attention to her, and he immediately found Belle’s anomaly. The first was her body. She was terribly thin, and if he didn’t know her, he would definitely think she had just escaped from a refugee camp.
Secondly, it was her health.
Belle’s looked nervous at once, and she quickly explained, "Brother Nathan has nothing to do with this."
"Then how can he be assured..."
"I’m not his biological sister." At this time, Belle had nothing to hide, "I’m not a child of the Luo family. My surname is Ye."
Levi nodded. In the private room, he heard someone call her name. Belle Ye, the name was simple and common, but it also had a significant meaning. Families who could give children such names must pin their hopes on them.
Belle Ye... If she was surnamed Ye, why did she live in the Luo family ten years ago? Back then, he thought that she was Nathan’s sister. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
In fact, he was not the only one who thought so back then. Everyone who was familiar with Nathan knew that he petted his sister. Nathan, who was usually a bit too unsympathetic, always obeyed his sister, who was not so good-tempered in the family. Nathan, who was not so nice, was gentle in front of his sister.
