However, if not for her trusting Xia Zihao so lightly, how would Xia Zihao have found a loophole, and end up like this?

Xia Weilan was unable to control herself from crying. She hugged her knees tighter and tighter, not allowing herself to make a sound, because if she did, she felt that it was too embarrassing.

A pair of shoes appeared in front of her eyes, causing her to subconsciously look up. The afternoon sun was a bit dazzling, causing her to be unable to open her eyes. However, a shadow blocked the sunlight above her head.

"Why are you here?" Xia Weilan asked suspiciously, and the moment she said that, her voice had a hint of choked up.

Ling Jue looked down at her from above. The woman in front of him no longer had the usual unapproachable feeling that he was a thousand miles away, nor had he lost his edge. What he felt was only a kind of weakness, or perhaps weakness, in his bones.

Xia Weilan saw that there were no expression on his face, and she didn't make any movements either. She was even more unsure of what he was thinking in her heart, and looking up at him like this, she felt uncomfortable in her heart, and struggled to stand up.

She wiped the tears off her face and turned to leave.

But just at that moment, she was suddenly pulled back. That man's strength was simply too big, and she couldn't break free at all. A confused expression appeared on her face, but she was held in her arms at that moment.

Her entire body was held in Ling Jue's embrace, and she subconsciously wanted to struggle, but she was held even tighter in Ling Jue's embrace.

"Shh, just stay in my arms for a while."

For the first time, Xia Weilan felt that Ling Jue's voice was this gentle. Her heart softened at once and he leaned into his warm embrace.

Time seemed to stop at this moment. For the first time, she felt that this man was somewhat reliable.

After a long while of effort, Xia Weilan finally withdrew from Ling Jue's embrace, but she did not force herself to hug her again.

"Thank you." Xia Weilan said indifferently.

Ling Jue frowned, he was happy in his heart, because of what she said to thank him. But in the next moment, she had turned back into this cold and emotionless state, and before he could say anything, Xia Weicu was about to leave.

This time, her hand was grabbed again, but Xia Weilan didn't struggle free. Instead, he looked at the enchanting red face of the man in front of him, and pulled out a red silk handkerchief from his bosom, gently wiping her face.

Seeing his serious expression, for the first time, Xia Weilan felt that he was a little gentle. It was as if something was slowly flowing in her heart, and it was a very warm and comfortable feeling, but she was unable to put her finger on it.

For the first time, she didn't feel the resistance she felt in her heart.

Ling Jue looked at Xia Weilan playfully, because Xia Weilan had already been staring at him for a long time.

"How long are you going to keep staring at me like this?" Ling Jue said with ridicule in his eyes.

Xia Weilan regained her senses, her face immediately flushed red. The body dodged in a hurry, with an unknown emotion on her face. She coughed lightly, feeling a little awkward.

"How are you?" Ling Jue cupped her face with both hands and softly asked.

Xia Weilan's face however, became even redder, as if something in her heart was throbbing nonstop. Something was wrong with her entire body, so why did she become like this? For a moment she did not understand.

He hastily removed her hand and turned the body around. The expression on his face became more subtle.

When Ling Jue saw her current state, his deep almond-shaped eyes revealed a rare look of tenderness. He reached out to hug her from his back, then placed his hands next to her ear and whispered: "I, missed you."

Xia Weilan's body trembled slightly, and the expression on her face froze. She didn't know what to say, but she felt her face was a little red, and it was a little hot, so hot that she couldn't even breathe. Just when she was about to say something, the well-built body behind her released her.

In a split-second, she was stunned, but the expression on her face immediately reacted. Her entire person returned to being a cold expression, only that something seemed to have turned cold in her heart.

"Alright, it's time to go back. Let's go too." Ling Jue held Xia Weilan's hand, and both of their hands were tightly held.

Xia Weilan's heart had just missed its target, but seeing his actions, she did not know what to say, as though there was some sort of warmth in her heart.

But even so, she still gently struggled free of his hand, took a few steps back, lowered her head, and said with a calm voice: "decedent, please have some self-respect."

Ling Jue's eyes were as deep as the ocean, causing others to be unable to read his mind. The expression's expression was cold, but it suddenly turned into a smile.

Xia Weilan turned around and saw the evil expression on his face, and her heart skipped a beat. She didn't like such a dangerous man and told herself this more than once.

The two of them relaxed their hands, causing Xia Weilan to impatiently walk forward, not stopping at all.

Ling Jue looked at Xia Weilan's back, and the corner of her mouth hooked up into a secretive smile.

The main hall was bustling with noise and excitement. At this moment, the two elders had already come out and were seated at the head of the table.

The moment Xia Weilan walked in, she was summoned by the two elders and they sat beside the two of them.

"This Child of yours, why did you run just now? It made me unable to catch up." Wang Feng smiled as she handed over a plate of pastries to Xia Weilan.

Xia Weilan looked at the cinnamon cake in front of her. It took her a while to be able to control her emotions, and this was her favorite cinnamon cake. She turned her head and took a deep breath a few times before turning her head, with a fitting smile on her face.

"Look at this Child, it knows the rules too well, it's the same as her mother, it's practically carved out of the same mold." The Qin family said with a smile on their faces.

When she said this, everyone had smiles plastered on their faces.

Xia Weilan lowered her head, she suddenly felt that she was blessed, the entire General Palace had an extremely good character, therefore her mother had an extremely good character, all those years ago, it was because her mother was too kind to her family.

"Look at what I'm saying, hurry up and sit down." The Qin family realized that they had said something wrong. Seeing that Xia Weilan suddenly went silent, the smile on her face slowly disappeared as she quickly pushed Xia Weilan to sit down.

Xia Weilan came back to reality, she did not want to think about what happened in the past anymore, it was just that she was trapped and unable to extricate herself, and what happened just now was just too much.
