Amidst the thundering applause, Cao Shanshan's tears flowed endlessly. She did not bother wiping them away. Instead, her eyes were glued to Ling Yun. She was breathing heavily as she said to him, "I love you!"

Ling Yun looked at the feeble Cao Shanshan, smiled, and gently replied, "I know."

After that, he carried her in his arms and turned to walk towards their lounge.

The audience were still cheering pa.s.sionately for them, but they did not forget to make way for the duo.

"Idiot, why did you not kiss me just now?!" After walking out of the crowd, Cao Shanshan said shyly while biting her lower lip.

What an idiot!

"Zhang Ling is here too!" Ling Yun smiled and said to the annoyed Cao Shanshan.

( Boxno vel. co m )  Cao Shanshan was stunned for a moment but quickly asked in response, "What? Zhang Ling is also here? Where?"

After the two of them reached the lounge, Ling Yun smiled and replied, "Stop looking around. She is on the other side of the dance floor. You won't be able to see her from this angle."

Ling Yun heard footsteps behind them, and a strangely alluring body smell reached his nose. Ling Yun did not even need to turn around to figure out that it was Long Wu.

"Put her down!" Long Wu said coldly the moment she came up behind Ling Yun.

Ling Yun frowned and turned around with Cao Shanshan still in his arms.

"What about no?!" He smiled and looked at Long Wu with a challenging look on his face.

You're not even the one I'm hugging. Why should I listen to you?

Long Wu glared at Cao Shanshan, who was happily nested in Ling Yun's arms like a kitten.

She stomped and pointed her finger at Ling Yun. "You…"

Ling Yun smiled brightly at Long Wu. "If you don't want to be hit again, get your finger out from my face!"

Ling Yun took a deep breath of the sweet fragrance that came from Long Wu before he laughed and turned away to leave while still carrying Cao Shanshan in his arms.

Long Wu stomped her foot again. Her four st.u.r.dy body guards immediately marched into the lounge.

Ling Yun went back and sat down on the lounge sofa. They started having a conversation about whether or not he should put her down.

"Come on, sit on the sofa…"

"No, I want you to hug me…"

"Listen to me…" Ling Yun was helpless.

"No…" Cao Shanshan said sweetly as she put her arms around Ling Yun's neck.

Long Wu was furious. She pointed at the both of them and shouted, "Have the two of you had enough of your PDA?"

Ling Yun realized that Long Wu was behaving weirdly today. She did not seem like she was there for revenge. Rather, it was more like she was jealous!

Ling Yun was right. She was jealous.

Yesterday in the mall, after Long Wu was. .h.i.t, she could not get over it and called her father Long Kun before she even got out of the mall.

After describing to him what had happened to her, she had thought that her father, who had always doted on her, would immediately send someone to teach Ling Yun a lesson. However, all he did was to calmly ask her to come home first.

Long Wu was puzzled. She returned home as fast as she could, where her father was already waiting for her.

When Long Kun saw the two hand prints on his daughter's face, he felt extremely sorry for his daughter, but he was not angry.

Long Wu was surprised at his reaction. Is Dad okay? She asked in shock, "Dad, is that your reaction when you see your daughter like this?"

Her father lightly replied, "If it were anyone else, I would already have him cut up into pieces, but it was Ling Yun who hit you. Pa also cannot help you…"

Long Wu was flabbergasted. "Why?!"

Long Kun laughed bitterly and said, "My dear daughter, why do you think I hired so many teachers to teach you different things? Why did I send you abroad for education?"

Long Wu did not see the link. She even forgot the throbbing pain on her face. "Why?"

Long Kun walked over to his daughter. Gently patting her on the head, he said, "It was so that you could marry Ling Yun as a refined woman."

"What?!" Long Wu was completely mind blown! Her brain stopped functioning altogether.

After a solid two minutes, Long Wu finally got out of her state of shock. Ling Yun's charming face appeared in her mind, and she pondered for a while before asking, "Dad, you are joking, right? Marry him? Even though I have never met him before in my entire life?!"

Long Kun shook his head. He seemed to be lost in his nostalgia, with his face showing many different emotions.

He opened his mouth after a long time and said, "Who said you have never met? You have met each other seventeen years ago! When you were born, you met him several times!"

Long Wu became even more shocked. "Dad, what is going on? How come you never told me about this?"

Still thinking about the memories from so long ago, Long Kun lovingly told the stony Long Wu, "You were still young back then. What good would it do if I told you about it?"

He paused for a while before continuing, "Since you have already met him, it seems like fate. So, I shall tell you now that you are going to marry Ling Yun!"

After that, he sighed and thought to himself, "Seems like her son is still stronger than my daughter. First meeting and he has already beaten her up!

"Ling Yun, this d*mned brat. Not only did he steal my valuable subordinate Xiaohu, but now he wants to bully my daughter?! He's p.i.s.sing me off!"

Long Kun was annoyed and helpless. However, he was also somewhat pleasantly surprised with him.

As Long Kun thoughts ran on endlessly, Long Wu was still upset about her situation. She hugged her father's arm and started shaking it. "Dad, why do I have to marry him? Hmph, he's so full of himself, I am not going to marry him! I'll marry anyone but him!"

Long Kun looked at his confused and annoyed daughter, held onto her hand that was shaking his arm, and sat her down.

He then said, "I decided to marry you to Ling Yun out of grat.i.tude for something that happened seventeen years ago. But now the times are different, and that person didn't agree in the first place anyways… * sigh* "

Long Kun caressed his daughter's long hair. He smiled and said, "Anyways, that's how it is. It's your own choice whether you want to marry him, but if you want to take revenge, I won't allow it!"

"This Ling Yun has a sister called Ning Lingyu. She's about one year older than you too. In Qingshui City, you can mess with anyone except for those two people. If those two harm you, I can't do anything. If you want, you can get your own people to take revenge, but you cannot bring any of my people with you."

Long Wu stared at Long Kun's serious face, and she realized that her father was not joking about this matter. She said confusedly, "Why though?"

Long Kun replied seriously, "I can't tell you too much for now, but there is one thing you need to know. Ling Yun's mother saved my life twice, and yours too!"

"What?!" Long Wu's face changed instantly.

Who was Long Kun? He was the big boss behind Green Dragon Gang! He was at the peak of the pyramid in Qingshui City's mafia!

If anyone else was daring enough to beat up a group of thirty Green Dragon members and send them packing to the police station, Long Kun would have already arranged for the instigator to be taken care of. There was no way he would have waited until now!

However, once he knew that the person responsible for all this was Ling Yun, he quietly covered up the whole thing for him.

Until now, he still had not gone to the police to get his men back, including Ding Guanhui and Tu Gang. He was not going to deal with the thirty people until Ling Yun showed up and decided himself what he wanted to do with them.

Ling Yun had beaten up Green Dragon's men, had taken away Xiaohu, and had slapped his daughter Long Wu. But even if Ling Yun slapped Long Kun dozens of times, he would have accepted it as it was.

Long Kun comforted her. "Just treat it as a husband slapping his wife. As the father-in-law, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to interfere, right?"

Long Wu probed further, but Long Kun's lips were sealed. She touched her swollen face and gritted her teeth in silent hatred towards Ling Yun.

"Hmph! I'm not going to marry him. He can dream on!"

Long Wu ignored her father and went back to her bedroom angrily.

After she went back to her room, she could not help but think of Ling Yun's calm but slightly evil and proud face.

Even if a person gave you many benefits, you still might not remember them, but if a person slapped you twice on the face, you would remember them for life! That was just how things worked.

Long Wu was slapped and her usually doting father could not interfere. He was even against the idea of her taking revenge. It was not surprising that she would be upset!

That was why when she saw Ling Yun tonight, she had kept frowning!

Ling Yun stared at the overbearing Long Wu and felt anger well up inside him. Frowning, he raised his head and said to the crazy girl, "Can't you see you are interrupting us? Get out now and don't show up in front of me again until you fix you face!"
