Chapter 1615: He Planned to Let Go

Ling Hui complained unconsciously, a feminine pout on her face. Realizing that she had made a low-level mistake again, she hurriedly buried her face into the pillow and said coldly, “I’m not feeling well. Stop pressing on me.”

Tang Xi saw Ling Hui’s coquettish expression.

She rarely acted like this in front of him. Her coy gaze almost melted his heart.

Not minding her coldness, he stroked her face and looked at her with a smile. “Have you taken your medicine?”

Ling Hui glared at him when she saw him laughing. “Don’t laugh.”

Tang Xi raised his eyebrows and smiled even more devilishly.

Ling Hui felt that this person had been sent by the heavens to go against her. Not only was he shameless, but he was also not obedient at all. She was embarra.s.sed by his smile and took the pillow and threw it at him.

He did not dodge and let her hit him for a while before he pulled the pillow away. Reaching out his long arm, he hugged her body and rolled on the bed.

Their positions instantly changed.

She was on top while he was at the bottom.

The tip of her nose touched his firm chest and it felt a little numb.

She frowned and was about to say something when he suddenly lifted her chin and kissed her.

She froze.

He bit her lips but did not enter her mouth directly. Instead, he traced the shape of her beautiful lips.

She stopped struggling and let him kiss her.

Tang Xi looked at the woman who had become more obedient and quiet on his chest. Her curled eyelashes fluttered slightly and tears filled her beautiful eyes. They were moist. Her fair and beautiful face was exquisite.

He put her down and kissed her eyes. “Go to sleep!”

His warm and soft lips landed on her eyes like a soft feather brus.h.i.+ng past and it flowed into her heart numbly.

Ling Hui looked at the gentleness on the man’s unrestrained face and was dazed.

She suddenly felt that this man was not as bad and annoying as she had imagined!

Although Tang Xi still cared about why Ling Hui had been with Ling Motian at night, he would not force her to answer if she was uncomfortable.

It would not be too late to ask after she had recovered from her cold.

Tang Xi had a bad temper and was not very patient with women. When he had girlfriends in the past, he would change one every few days. Apart from the fact that they were not Ling Hui, there was another reason. He did not like to coax women.

Once a woman became unreasonable, he lost interest.

But with Ling Hui, no matter how she treated him, he did not feel annoyed.

She looked beautiful and cute no matter what.

After a while, Ling Hui fell asleep.

However, Tang Xi was not sleepy at all. He sat by the bed and stroked Ling Hui’s forehead. Realizing that she was getting hotter, he went to the bathroom to get a basin of water and placed a wet towel on her forehead.

In the second half of the night, Ling Hui had a nightmare.

To be more specific, it was not a dream. It had actually happened.

Perhaps it was because Ling Motian had mentioned him saving her today. That was why she had dreamed of that scene when she was at her weakest.

She had been kidnapped and several men had thrown her into a smelly and dilapidated abandoned building. They laughed pervertedly by her ear and said the most unbearable things.

They grabbed her chin and poured the medicine into her mouth.

She resisted and struggled, taking two tight slaps to her face. The pain was so intolerable that she could not breathe in her dreams.

She was extremely afraid and kept screaming, begging for mercy. Despair and fear surged like a tidal wave.

She thought that if someone saved her, she would definitely repay the favor! She would repay the favor with everything she had!

But no one appeared.

Her clothes were torn apart and those dirty and disgusting hands caressed her skin.

She was so scared and so frightened that she felt like she had fallen into a black abyss.

After being forced to drink the medicine, her consciousness became more and more blurry and a strange feeling that she had never felt before appeared in her body.

She did not want to be humiliated, but could not get out of it and was on the verge of biting her tongue to commit suicide when a tall black figure rushed in.

“Ling Motian, Ling Motian…”

Ling Motian had come to save her!

Tang Xi, who was sitting by the bed and guarding Ling Hui, heard Ling Hui frowning and muttering in pain. He did not hear what she said at first, so he leaned over and said gently, “Princess, what’s wrong? Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”

He caressed her face gently.

The next moment, she suddenly reached out and grabbed his hand.

She grabbed him tightly, as if she was afraid that he would leave her if she let go.

Tang Xi was delighted to be needed by her. However, that happiness had not fully spread yet before he heard her mutter, “Ling Motian…”

Yes, she called Ling Motian, not him, Tang Xi.

The gentleness at the corner of Tang Xi’s mouth froze instantly.

Her gaze toward her chilled.

He pulled his hand away from her small hand.

Her hands waved in the air in panic, her expression even more pained. “Ling Motian, don’t abandon me. Don’t abandon me… I’ll give you everything I can…”

“Please, take me with you…”

Tang Xi saw a teardrop seeping out from the corner of her eye.

His breathing slowly tightened.

His hands by his sides clenched into tight fists.

His chest felt like it was being clenched tightly by an invisible black hand, suffocating him.

He stared at the woman who was still telling Ling Motian not to leave. His mind was blank and for a moment. He felt like the sky was turning dark, like the end of the world had arrived.

His heart ached so much that he felt numb. He could not stay here for another second.

His eyes turned red and he turned around, stumbling away.

It was only when he left the apartment and breathed in the fresh air outside that he felt that he was still alive.

However, his heart was still tightened and he felt like he could not breathe. He hated himself at this moment, but he had no ability to do anything!

Tang Xi walked out of the district and walked alone for a long time.

He walked until dawn.

He leaned against a tree below a hospital stiffly, took out his phone, and called Gu Meng.

Gu Meng was a little surprised to receive Tang Xi’s call.

Tang Xi asked her to come to the hospital and did not tell her anything. Gu Meng rushed to the hospital with doubts.

Seeing the distracted and haggard man standing under the tree, Gu Meng walked over and called him, “Young Master Tang.”

Tang Xi nodded and took out the exquisite sandalwood box from his jacket pocket. “This is a life-saving pill. I heard it can cure hundreds of poisons. Take this to Ling Hui’s father’s attending doctor and see if it can help his condition.”

Gu Meng was confused. Why didn’t Tang Xi give such a valuable thing to Sister Ling Hui personally?

Seeming to have seen Gu Meng’s confusion, Tang Xi said hoa.r.s.ely, “There’s no need to tell her that I gave it to her. I was too stubborn in the past and thought about it for a long time last night. Feelings can’t be forced. I won’t appear in front of her again.”

“I don’t want her to feel like she owes me anything. She will meet the person she likes in the future, but it won’t be me.”
