His Majesty is Scheming - C230
“Miss Hu, it doesn’t matter if you don’t tell me. Please help me pass on the message to her. I won’t let her disappear from my side so easily.” I’ve lost her for two years and I don’t want to lose her again, thank you. ”
“Two years? What do you mean? “When did you meet her for two years?” Hu Chang looked at him in confusion. As far as she knew, Ling Mengzhu and Long Zhenghao had only known each other for half a year, right? Was it some childhood sweetheart, high school classmate or something?
“This is a long story, we can talk about it later when we have time. You only have to believe that I truly love her. “Miss Hu, let me ask you one last time, is the pearl with you?”
“Nope.” Hu Chang shook his head firmly.
“Then where is she?” Long Zhenghao anxiously asked, his face full of hope and hope. She did not want to say it, but she felt that she was cruel. She placed her palm on her forehead and sobbed softly, “It’s really not that I don’t want to tell you, but Zhu Zhu Zhu forced me to swear that if I told you the truth, I would have been hit by a car and broken up with Young Master Xi.”
It was fine that she would run into someone when she was out the door, but since she lost Young Master Xi, she might as well run into someone and die. How could Ling Dreamy Pearl be so vicious, sigh … How difficult!
When Long Zhenghao heard her words, he immediately raised his hands and begged, “I promise you that you won’t get hit by a car and break up with that Young Master Xi. Please tell me the truth.”
“Ai, how can you make things difficult for others like this? Although I really want you two to be together, I really can’t say it …” Hu Chang backed away step by step, while Long Zhenghao followed closely behind, not intending to let her go.
He had initially thought that it would be fine if the other party didn’t know, but now he had changed his mind. He was sure that Hu Chang knew where the Dreamy Cloud Pearl was. If she told him, he would have a chance to find the one he loved.
“I really can’t say it, I can’t say it …!” Hu Chang suddenly turned around and ran behind Young Master Xi. He hugged Young Master Xi and pointed at Long Zhenghao, “Dearest, someone is trying to force me to do something I don’t want to do. Let’s leave quickly.”
Young Master Xi had just entered from the outside and was about to pick her up, but was dragged away by Ling Mengzhu before he could understand what was going on. He turned around and glanced at Long Zhenghao. Coincidentally, he saw the depressed and disappointed look in his eyes. With a slight raise of his eyebrows, he left with Hu Chang.
The other side already had an emissary, so Long Zhenghao naturally couldn’t pursue him anymore. He just stood there, stunned. He didn’t even feel the weird gazes directed at him, so even if he felt them, he wouldn’t care.
After a while, he walked out of the company lobby and didn’t go home, because the house was so cold that it didn’t seem like home anymore. He knew that Hu Chang would not go back so early, but he still stubbornly drove the car in the direction of her residence. He had to find her!
Another day had passed, and Ling Mengzhan was already ashamed to the point of regaining her senses. She began to think about what she should do next. After all, she couldn’t spend her whole life hiding here to live this kind of boring life. Besides, she didn’t have the financial ability to sit around and eat, so she felt that it was time for her to find a job.
This was a rural area. Besides farming, there was no job to be found here, and these were not things that she could do.
After having breakfast, she had nothing to do in the world. She happened to see Mrs. Ling take a quilt to the river to wash, so she went along with her.
“I think it’s better for you to go back to the city. It’s not a place that youngsters can get used to.” Madam Ling started to recite the words again. Seeing Ling Mengzhu’s dejected look, she did not miss a single word that she said in the past two days. Ling Mengzhan had heard too much, so she didn’t pay much attention to it.
“Mom, let me help you.” Ling Meng Zhu chased after her and carried the basket from her hands.
“No need, it’s not heavy.” Mrs. Ling fought with her over it, but let her be. He followed her and talked and laughed as he walked into the river.
As Ling Mengzhu was walking, she heard the horn of a gas truck in front of her. She raised her head and saw a familiar car. After the surprise, she unconsciously felt a tinge of disappointment. It wasn’t the person she was waiting for, it wasn’t the A8 that she was familiar with.
Even though she knew it was impossible for her to be with him, she still stubbornly waited in her heart, expecting and dreading to see him. After feeling disappointed, she heaved a sigh of relief. In just an instant, there were several kinds of emotions running through her heart.
Xiao Lin pushed open the car door and stepped down, smiling at her, “What? “You’re so free to come back here for a vacation?”
Ling Mengzhu sized him up and asked doubtfully, “How did you know I was here?” She did not remember telling anyone except Hu Chang. Of course, she believed that Hu Chang would never tell Xiao Lin because Hu Chang had always been against Xiao Lin.
“Where else can you go but here? Just think with your toes. ” Xiao Lin slammed the car door shut and walked over with his hands in his pockets. In fact, he did not even realize that Liang Jia had already told him that Ling Mengzhan had gone back home after being wronged, which was why he had taken the time to come over to see what had happened.
He had come here once before. Back when he was a couple with Ling Mengzhu, he had come here with ease.
When Liang Jia had told him that Ling Meng Pearl had returned home, he hadn’t believed her. Since he had not seen Ling Dreamsky for a few days, he did not suspect anything. As a result, he did not even notice that Ling Mengzhu had left.
“Ah, Lil ‘Lin, why are you here? Go back to your room and take a seat. ” Mrs Ling took the bucket from Ling Mengzhu’s hands and urged her on, “Zhu Zhu Zhu, take Xiao Lin home for a drink of water. I’ll go wash the blankets myself.”
“Thank you Auntie, Auntie has not seen you for a long time.” Xiao Lin politely greeted her, and Mrs. Ling happily nodded her head. She liked Xiao Lin quite a lot, because he had always been good to Ling Dreaming Beads. If there hadn’t been Long Zhenghao, she would have asked Xiao Lin to go through with it. It was a pity that matters of relationships didn’t seem to develop as one wished.
“Ahh, it’s been a long time. Quickly go and play. I’ll go get the blanket first and then come back to cook for you.”
“Auntie, you don’t have to go through so much trouble.” By the time Xiao Lin finished speaking, Mrs. Ling was already walking into the river with the blanket in her hand.
After Mrs. Ling had left, Ling Zhui looked at Xiao Lin and asked, “What are you doing here? You’re not going to work today? ”
Looking at Xiao Lin, who was dressed in casual clothes, he did not look like an interesting person. Furthermore, today was Thursday, so this workaholic should be struggling in the office. Ling Mengzhu couldn’t understand it, so she asked.
“Ben can go back and slowly add more. The most important thing is to find out what’s wrong with our family’s pearl. Why did it run away without saying a word?” Xiao Lin laughed and stopped laughing. Shame turned into deep love and concern as he looked down at her little face.
She had always disliked being friends with men. She was afraid that the other party would see an expression that did not belong to a friend. Just like the current Xiao Lin, she did not know what she could do.
“It’s nothing. I didn’t enjoy my work. I’ll take my leave. I just came back for a few days’ rest.” Ling Mengzhu tried her best to avoid his affectionate gaze as she spoke in a light tone. She did not speak the truth because she felt that there was no need to say it.
“Really?” “But how did I hear that you fled here because of amnesia?” Little Lin laughed as she mocked him. The sunlight shined on his body and cast a shadow at Ling Meng Zhu’s feet. Ling Meng Zhu looked up at him in astonishment and asked, “Who told you this?”
After asking, she suddenly shouted excitedly, “That big mouth of Hu Chang, one day, I will tear that big mouth of hers apart!”
“Sigh, don’t carelessly frame me. I haven’t seen Hu Chang in a long time.” He did not want Hu Chang to be the scapegoat for him for no reason at all. In fact, it was not what Hu Chang had told her.
Hearing his words, Ling Mengzhu suddenly became suspicious: “Otherwise, who would it be? Could it be Wang Xiang? “That’s impossible.”
“Don’t make wild guesses if you know it’s impossible. You can’t hide anything from others. Those with a brain would even guess that you’ve returned back home.” The more Xiao Lin talked about it, the more he felt uneasy. That’s right, she hadn’t gone anywhere yet, so why did she come back to her hometown? Did a brainy person like Long Zhenghao know like Xiao Lin that she had come back home?
No, he had no idea that she still had a home to return to. She shouldn’t have expected this, she definitely wouldn’t. Ling Mengzhu kept comforting herself in her heart, consoling herself as she considered whether or not she should change places.
“Well, even if it’s a disappointment, what do you mean by coming to my house? “To comfort this poor man who has lost his memory in love?” Ling Mengzhu cast him a sidelong glance. She hoped that Lil ‘Lin would leave right now, because she did not know what identity she should have to receive him. What kind of eyes would those chattering old ladies next door use on him?
Xiao Lin saw her unwelcoming attitude, he smiled and pointed to the car beside him, saying, “I drove for so long to get here, don’t you want to take me in for a few days before letting me go? I think the scenery here is pretty good, so you can also accompany me for a stroll. ”
It would take at least five hours to drive back from Binhai City. Lin Mengzhu couldn’t bear it any longer. He could only say unwillingly, “Alright then, come back to my house for a while and have a meal. Then I’ll take you to a hotel in town. ”
Xiao Lin originally wanted to say that she shouldn’t bother staying at the hotel and should stay at her place, but then he changed his mind and thought that he might mess up things and offend her. He just shut up and stopped talking. There was a room in Mrs. Ling’s house, and he knew it very well.
The last time he came, he was staying in Mrs. Ling’s house. Of course, he slept in the same room with Ling Mengzhu.
