Chapter 705 You“re free to go

Not too far away from Tao Meng and Ling Ni's table, Yue Ling maintained her usual calm composure. She saw the way Ling Ni froze when she saw Liu Shan. However, did she care? No.

She looks away from the woman and glances at her assistant. Her hand was still holding onto his wrist but under the table.

One look was all it took for her to read his mind. She knew that he was fuming with rage on the inside at the way Tao Meng was treating Ling Ni with no respect.

She sighs inside and loosens her grip as her voice fell quietly.

"Don't be reckless. Remember, you have nothing to do with her anymore."

Liu Shan's eyes were red due to him trying to suppress his anger. He did say he doesn't have anything to do with Ling Ni anymore, but how can he just ignore the way she is being treated?

Now, he can't help but wonder what kind of life she has been living under Tao Meng.

However, his boss was also right.

He can't do anything reckless. If he does, it means he'll just end up going to Ling Ni and be left with an even more broken heart.

Not only that, but he also cannot put everyone else in danger. Especially, Uncle Nuo.

He gritted his teeth before inhaling a deep breath and force himself to look away from Ling Ni.

Tao Meng kept his eyes on Yue Ling as she was the reason why he is even here. He leans closer to Ling Ni and whispers to her ear.

"Get your friend to come over."

Ling Ni stiffened at his order. The night was already cold, but she swore it was like someone had splashed ice-cold water on her.

She glances at Liu Shan then search for Yue Ling. However, when she realized that they were sitting at the same table, her brows slightly furrowed in question.

Why are they sitting at the same table?

"I…"

She trembles a stutter in answer to the man as she stares at Yue Ling and Liu Shan. She bit her lower lip and ponder in thoughts.

Didn't the media say Yue Ling is engaged to Lu Tian? If she is, why is she here with Liu Shan?

Could it be that they are secretly seeing each other?

As her mind began to get the better of her, a wave of jealousy wash over her.

With her current situation, she knows that Liu Shan is beyond her reach. However, she cannot watch as someone like Yue Ling, fool around with someone as sweet as the assistant.

Thinking back to the deal Tao Meng had offered when they were leaving Moonlight, she bites her lower lip more.

She looks away from the retired model and lowers her head like a shy little girl.

"If I can convince her to come over here, will you keep your promise from earlier?"

Tao Meng was confused by her words. However, remembering the deal, he chuckles and caress the side of her thigh before his hand slowly moves up and her cheek.

"Sweetheart, you have been with me for so many years. When have I ever gone back on my words?"

His movements were gentle and careful like she was his most prized possession. He steals a quick glance at Yue Ling then looks away.

"If you can get her to come over, you're free to go."

He leans a little closer to her and his words continued, but this time, in a more threatening tone.

"However, if you fail, you know what will happen."

Ling Ni felt a tightness in her chest. However, thinking about getting away from Tao Meng, that tightness loosens a little.

It was like she could finally see a crack in the darkness of her world and a glowing light was shining down to her.

She inhales a deep breath then stood up from Tao Meng's lap. She glances at the people around and seeing how no one was looking at her, she makes her way in the direction of Yue Ling's table.

Even if she has to sell her soul to the devil again, she doesn't mind doing it. So long as she gets her life back and stands by Liu Shan's side.

However, what she did not know is that, even if she were to succeed, Tao Meng will never let her go.

Not because he wants to keep her, but because she knows too much about him and Red Moon.

Once he has Yue Ling in his hands, he's going to toss her to his men as their new toy. Whatever they want to do to her, he doesn't care.

Yue Ling and Liu Shan sat at their table while enjoying the food Uncle Nuo had brought to their table.

Catching a glimpse of Ling Ni walking over to them, Yue Ling looks up while Liu Shan was rooted to his chair.

It didn't take long before Ling Ni arrives at their table and smiles a greeting. Her entire being was like she had not been sitting on Tao Meng's lap.

She doesn't look at Liu Shan but kept her eyes locked on the retired model.

"Yue Ling, I didn't think I would run into you again."

Yue Ling slightly tilts her head in a nonchalant way and looks up at the woman. She returns a small smile before shrugging her shoulder.

"I never knew Imperial was so small that I would run into you too."

Ling Ni's brows furrow together at Yue Ling's words. However, looking clearly at Yue Ling's expression, she felt afraid.

The retired model had gestured a soft and friendly smile, but her bluish-green eyes held a look of danger within them.

She (Ling Ni) quickly brush her thoughts away and tells herself that it was only her nervousness that is causing her to feel this way.

Her smile widens until it reached her eyes and she takes a small step to get closer to Yue Ling.

"I don't mean to disturb your night, but can I ask for a small favor?"

Yue Ling's smiles gradually disappear as she could read what the woman and Tao Meng were up to. Her smile that had yet to disappear quickly widens again.

"Sure. If it's something I can help with, I will."

Ling Ni's eyes lit up brightly and she grins with teeth. She held her hands together in front of her and sway from side to side in small movements as a pitiful expression appears on her face.

"You see…"

She was nervous at first but glancing at Liu Shan, she inhales a deep breath. Not beating around the bush, she gets straight to the point.

"My friend over there is interested in you. He asked me to come and ask you if you'll join him to have a drink."

*Slam—!
