I get stronger by sunbathing, just like Superman.

Sofia tactfully turned and left the rooftop, but before leaving, her gaze lingered on the two embracing figures, her expression seemingly filled with envy…

And a hint of jealousy.

The two stayed on the rooftop for a long time, talking about many things. Elena's tears flowed almost constantly, but she always had a smile on her face...

It wasn't until almost noon that she suggested going to the restroom to touch up her makeup...

Five years later, Elena noticed that apart from being a little thinner, Lei Ming's appearance had hardly changed.

But she felt that she had aged and become haggard, and her figure and appearance were no longer what they used to be... Even though Lei Ming repeatedly said that he didn't mind, she still felt a little uneasy about it in her heart...

Taking advantage of Elena's absence, Lei Ming summoned Sophia to the rooftop...

"You two chatted for so long, I'm so envious..."

Elena had no idea why Lei Ming had come to see her. She greeted him with a smile, but then she noticed that Lei Ming's face was as cold as frost... as if the temperature had dropped several degrees.

"Why didn't you ask me before deciding to bring her here?"

"me…"

Sofia panicked and, at a loss, clutched her clothes and backed away...

"I...I thought you would be happy..."

“Yes… I am happy to see her, but not in this way, by having her brought here from the Russian Federation by a woman I have only recently met.”

Seeing the seriousness in Lei Ming's voice, Sophia realized that she seemed to have made a very serious mistake.

"No...that's not how it is...!"

I...I thought you would know...

You always know everything…

I'm sorry... I... I thought you would...

I didn't mean to..."

She retreated in a panic, stammering incoherently as she tried to explain herself, but she didn't even know what she was saying. Tears welled up in her eyes...

"What do you think? Just because of a 'what do you think'... you think you can make decisions for me?"

Lei Ming continued to approach her.

He hadn't expected that just as he was deciding to stop using telepathy casually and had just begun to develop some feelings for her, she would act so presumptuously and presumptuously.

Miss Sophia…

I hope you understand that the kindness I showed you was based on the fact that you genuinely went to great lengths to help me... and I am truly grateful for that...

But this doesn't mean we're already familiar with it...

You can do certain so-called 'good deeds' to my people without my permission, even if I know you really have no malicious intent.

Elena was just an ordinary person…

I don't want anything to happen to her because of this...

And she got involved in things that weren't her business.

I'm not threatening you, I'm just warning you...

I hope you understand what I'm saying.

Lei Ming stopped in his tracks after speaking, his expression returning to calm, and his tone no longer aggressive…

Sofia was already crying her eyes out, looking like a child who had made a mistake and was being scolded, which was heartbreaking.

She nodded, sobbing, and promised:

"I...I understand..."

This will never happen again...

Please...please don't be angry with me...

Seeing this, Lei Ming simply glanced at her calmly before turning and leaving the rooftop…

His intention was to make her understand a principle from the bottom of her heart:

Don't make decisions for others without their consent, especially regarding them.

It's not that I have any perverted fetishes; I just want her to remember it more clearly, and at the same time, to dispel some of her unnecessary thoughts. Being stricter won't do her any harm...

If I really harbored any ill will towards her, I would have crushed her into ashes long ago; why would I waste so much time talking to her?

After Lei Ming left, Sophia slowly stopped crying... After regaining her senses, she realized that her feet were already on the edge of the rooftop, and if she took another half step back...

She would fall from the rooftop, which is thirty or forty meters high.

But there was not a trace of fear on her face.

She wasn't scared to tears because she was afraid Lei Ming would hurt or even kill her... but because she was afraid he would abandon her and leave or even disappear again.

In that case, she would really have no chance to see him again, let alone stay by his side.

If Superman wanted to disappear, who could find him?

She adjusted her mindset, took out a delicate handkerchief from her bosom and wiped away the tears on her face little by little, then took out a small mirror and a powder puff and patted her face repeatedly... Finally, she touched up her lip gloss.

The girl in the small mirror was a pure and lovely blonde, with no trace of her recent crying.

Having firmly remembered Lei Ming's words, she smiled again and happily ran downstairs...

She had to stay with him at all times, otherwise she didn't know when he would fly away again.

...

Chapter Seventy-Three: Awakening

Although Sophia's self-initiated decision saved Lei Ming some trouble, it wasn't what he wanted. But since she was already there, saying anything more would seem pretentious.

He didn't have any other plans for the time being, so he decided to stay here with Elena for a while...

Besides, Sophia's family is very wealthy, with hundreds of guest rooms in the entire estate, and a whole host of servants and maids to take care of her perfectly. It would be a waste not to stay there.

Sofia, this blonde girl, really has a knack for charming people. Although it's probably all an act, it doesn't feel forced or fake at all. She always finds opportunities to get close to and please Elena, and before long, the two are holding hands and kissing like sisters.

Sometimes, even if someone does something under Lei Ming's nose, he doesn't feel any resentment.

This also shows that she did take what she was told to heart. She resolutely refused to do things she shouldn't do, and she did her best to do even the smallest things she could do. She even personally cooked authentic Chinese dishes for her daily meals.

However, there were times when they went too far...

On one occasion, Elena even caught her washing their underwear by hand, leaving her completely flustered... She almost packed her things and dragged Reming back to Moscow on the spot...

Although Lei Ming found this woman's personality quite baffling, Elena gradually started to fall for her charms.

That night, as the two lay in bed... Elena casually spoke up for Sophia, saying that she meant well and that he shouldn't always be so serious with her, and subtly inquired about the noblewoman's appearance and looks...

Lei Ming simply laughed it off.

But what happened next was even more outrageous. Sofia actually took advantage of Lei Ming and Elena's intimacy in the room to eavesdrop, and even used some kind of profound internal martial arts technique to hold her breath and lower her heart rate...

The entire manor shook when Lei Ming discovered it!

...

After the fierce battle

The only sound in the dark, silent room was their breathing.

Elena was sleeping soundly with her arms wrapped around her, a smile playing on her lips, as if she were dreaming of something beautiful.

In contrast, thunder...

Although his eyes were tightly closed, his breathing was unusually rapid! Fine beads of cold sweat were constantly appearing on his forehead and neck…

His brows were furrowed tightly, and the veins on his arms were bulging!

He still clutched a corner of the sheet tightly in his hand... gradually crushing it into tiny pieces...

His whole body was still twitching from time to time.

It was as if he had seen something in a dream that terrified him...

A woman's voice was echoing incessantly in his ears, the sound continuous and growing increasingly urgent...

Thunder...

Kill me…

"Thunder...kill me..."

"Thunder, kill me!"

"Thunder! Please, kill me..."

"Thunder!!!"

"Kill me!!!"

That final, piercing roar jolted him awake! He sprang from the bed!

He was breathing heavily... his chest heaving violently, and he looked up blankly around...
