Morning, the Heir

Chapter 51: Do You Still Want to Meet Him?
Translator: Peggyan and Ruriko
Leng Yihuang was worried about her at home. He had originally wanted to go there together with her, but Lin Xiaomi refused him.

It was the Lin family, after all. He couldn’t stop her from going there and also knew if he went there recklessly, he might cause more troubles for her.

Staying at home, he was concerned that she would be bullied.

Having lost his patience, he stood up and walked outside, seeing her car downstairs.

He walked forward in a hurry and saw her sitting in the car in a daze without any reactions.

He pulled the car door open and said, “You’re back. Why not go home?”

She kept silent.

Suddenly aware of her bad mood, he said in a soft voice like coxing her, “What’s up? Are you tired? I’ll take you in.”

As he spoke, he stretched out his arms to hug her horizontally and whispered in her ears with a smile, “A princess’ hug.”

However, she didn’t react to him and even wasn’t shy.

As the smile on his face faded away, he strode toward home with her in his arms.

He directly placed her on the bed and thought that she felt sad, for she couldn’t take Little Nipper back.

He then coaxed her while stroking her face, “All right. If you like it, I’ll buy you another one, okay? I won’t let anyone snatch it from you again this time, okay?”

However, as soon as he touched her face with his hand, she painfully hissed and turned her head around.

It was dark out there, and her face was blocked by her hair, so he didn’t notice that.

He immediately smoothed her long hair away and saw her swollen face. With a livid face, he shouted outrageously, “Who slapped you?!!!”

She avoided his hand by siding her head, leaving herself enveloped by darkness and full of sadness.

“Lin Xin’er?” asked he.

But, Lin Xin’er acted like she didn’t hear him, so he asked again, “Jiang Hui?”

She finally said, “Never mind.”

She lifted her hand to stroke her cheek that was still in pain. “I’m really fine. It doesn’t hurt anymore.”

It looked like she was deserted by the whole world. He couldn’t help getting his heart ached.

He could even imagine what a miserable life she led in her childhood when she was too young to protect herself.

Seeing that she refused to talk, he didn’t ask her again but remembered this slap!!!

He went to the kitchen, used a towel to shroud a piece of ice, and placed it on her cheek.

Painful and numb, she closed her eyes, tears streaming down from her eyes’ corners.

Her tears were like concentrated sulfuric acid, dripping on his heart without any warning.

He had no resistance to her tears and coaxed her awkwardly “Alright, don’t cry, okay? I’m here and will avenge you, en?”

When people were extremely sad, the more others coxed them, the more they couldn’t help crying.

Perhaps his voice was too gentle, so she couldn’t stop her tears.

He wiped her tears over and over again.

It felt like he was drowning in her tears.

He was silently there with her.

She sat on the bed with her arms around her legs and her head in her knees. After a long time, she said in a hoarse voice, “He’s back.”

“Who is back?” asked he without realizing what she meant.

“Xue Haolin comes back.”

He got his body stiffened and his face darkened when hearing the name.

“Really? Have you seen him?”

She painfully covered her face with her hands and added with a smile but tears in her eyes, “Yes, I’ve met him in the Lin family.”

She turned around to look at him with a pair of blank eyes. “I met him in the Lin family. Jiang Hui said he was Lin Xin’er’s boyfriend and he went there to visit her parents. If Lady Lee was fine with it, they would get married.”

She couldn’t how to depict her mood at that time just like the sky was collapsing. Xue Haolin was her belief.

She believed that he would come back to her. He said many times that he would marry her after growing up and would come back to her one day even if he left.

Then, he disappeared suddenly. She had waited for him all the time and believed that he would be back.

Now, he was back but as the boyfriend of Lin Xin’er?

He didn’t recognize her, did he? Or did he already forget her?

“Really?” asked he in surprise. “Congratulations to them.”

She turned her head around and gazed at him. “Are you gloating?”

He originally controlled his good mood but snickered with his lips curled after she asked this, but he denied it. “No, I’m not.”

She was so pissed at him.

“You’re smiling! You’re still smiling!” She furiously beat him with a pillow.

He avoided it by making a dodge.

He felt rather unpleasant upon seeing her sad face and said, “So, you acted like you were dying because your first love is going to marry your stepsister?”

She fiercely glared at him and wondered to herself why he was so loathsome!

He said with a sneer, “If so, I’ll show my deep sympathy to you and extend my congratulations to you for getting rid of this bastard.”

“Xue Haolin isn’t a bastard!”

“He forgets you and will marry Lin Xin’er, so how can he not be a bastard!”

She didn’ look at him. “I think there must be a reason.”

He shouted in an attempt to wake her up, “There are many good men in this world. Why do you have to like him?”

Little bastard!

She still said good words for Xue Haolin in front of him. Did she want to make him die of anger?

She bit her lips and fell into silence. After a long time, she stood up, took her pajamas and entered the bathroom.

Yes, there were many other good men in this world.

However, he didn’t understand that it was Xue Haolin who was there for her in the most difficult period of her life at which they supported each other.

She didn’t believe that he would eat his words even if he liked Lin Xin’er.

Furthermore, Lin Xiaomi knew Lin Xin’er too well who got accustomed to snatching everything from her.

But, Lin Xin’er wouldn’t cherish those she snatched.

Lin Xiaomi couldn’t stand aside and watch Lin Xin’er hurt Xue Haolin someday.

Having figured it out, Lin Xiaomi put down her pajamas, walked out of the bathroom, and googled the news about Xue Haolin’s back in the country after she sat down on the sofa with the computer in her hands.

He went to pour himself a glass of water as a way to peek at the computer and then got enraged while seeing that she was searching the company address of Xue Haolin.

“Do you still want to meet him?”
