The paranoid Ling Shao's beloved pet ran away again

Ling Yisheng's low voice came faintly from the phone.

"That's not necessary. After all, I'm afraid you're playing tricks and only let me see what you want me to see." Xiao Jinglan said this mercilessly and directly rejected Ling Yisheng.

Hearing this, Ling Yisheng's face suddenly became more gloomy, and the strength in his hands tightened.

The bulging veins on his hands showed his owner's anger.

However, even so, he still suppressed the anger in his heart and said slowly, "Okay, whatever you say, I won't interfere."

"Is there anything else?" Xiao Jinglan asked calmly, his hands ready to hang up the phone.

"Come with me back to the Ling family's old house at noon, and I'll pick you up then."

Ling Yisheng's eyes flickered as he remembered what his father had said to him yesterday.

If he hadn't called this time urging him to go back, he would have almost forgotten how long it had been since he last returned to that home.

Was it ever since he found out that they had intervened and broken up him and Xiao Jinglan?

After that, he no longer wanted to live with them and moved out alone.

He used to go back to visit his grandfather every year, but after a big fight with Ling's father, he was unwilling to even step into the door of the old house.

When Xiao Jinglan heard this, he was a little hesitant at first. After all, he hadn't had any contact with Ling's father and mother for a long time.

Especially since before he left, Ling's father had come to talk to her for a while, she was even less willing to face them.

However, now that she and Ling Yisheng have already obtained their marriage certificate and held a wedding, she can be considered their daughter-in-law. It seems unreasonable not to visit them once.

So, she nodded slightly and agreed directly, "...Okay."

……

noon.

Ling Yisheng came to pick her up before eleven o'clock.

After getting in the car, he did not tell Chu Zhao to drive directly back to the Ling family's old house, but asked him to go to the shopping mall in the city center.

Xiao Jinglan said nothing and quietly let him control him.

Soon.

The mall has arrived.

Ling Yisheng opened the car door for her and prepared to help her get out.

Xiao Jinglan glanced at it indifferently, then got out of the car by holding onto the edge of the car.

She silently avoided the man's hand and walked straight out.

Ling Yisheng was stunned for a moment, then slowly withdrew his hand that was hanging in the air, and remained silent.

I originally wanted to take this opportunity to hold hands.

Who knew she would just avoid it.

Sure enough, I still blame him.

But, who can't control himself? Even if he is resentful, he accepts it completely as long as she is by his side.

Thinking of this, Ling Yisheng raised his leg to catch up with Xiao Jinglan, then grabbed her hand forcefully and naturally, holding it in his palm.

Xiao Jinglan turned his head to look at him, and was about to ask him to let go, but suddenly met his cold gaze.

The cold aura from his body spread silently, indicating that the owner was in a bad mood.

Xiao Jinglan thought about his experiences in the past few days and finally did not say those words.

Forget it, we have already done it, it was just holding hands, just let it go.

Mainly, she didn't want to have any conflicts with him at this critical juncture and be locked up back in that dark place.

After all, being shackled is not a pleasant feeling.

"Let's buy some gifts first and then go over." Ling Yisheng led her forward and explained at the same time.

Xiao Jinglan was a little confused. Did he need to buy some gifts specially when returning home?

"Ah."

Although she was puzzled, she did not ask any more questions, but just responded in a low voice.

Chu Zhao, who was following the two of them, spoke up at the right time to further explain, "The young master moved out after he had a fight with Chairman Ling three years ago, and he has never returned since."

"Why..." making trouble?

Hearing the voice, Xiao Jinglan's gaze fell on Chu Zhao standing beside him.

She couldn't help asking out loud out of her confusion and curiosity, but then stopped abruptly.

It seemed as if she felt that she shouldn't care so much about his affairs anymore.

Chu Zhao answered her question very tactfully, "Because Chairman Ling deliberately stopped the young master from going to see you, the young lady."

After hearing this, Xiao Jinglan fell silent.

She knew that Ling's father was not happy with her being with him at the time, but she didn't expect that Ling Yisheng would break up with his father for her and never return to the Ling family's old house.

If that was the case, would she have enough confidence to respond to Wu Xiaoman?

Ling Yisheng firmly chose himself between his father and himself.

And if he really didn't have anything to do with Wu Xiaoman that night, could she think that she had been misunderstood him all along because she believed what others said and had wild imaginations?

He is still the boy whose heart and eyes were filled with only himself.

But why did he treat her like that?

Surveillance, imprisonment, and restriction of one's personal freedom...

How could she dare to continue to be with him when he was like this and fantasize about their future?

Who knows, one day he might be in a bad mood and treat her like that again.

Compulsive, crazy, terrifying...

Xiao Jinglan's heart, which had just been beating a little, gradually calmed down.

She didn't dare to gamble.

I dare not risk my freedom in exchange for that illusory love.

She has no energy, no capital, and no courage.

I no longer dare to pursue love bravely like before.

She is no longer the innocent and naive girl she used to be.

In the past few years, she has experienced the hardships of society, witnessed the dangers of the world, and understood the horror of human hearts.

She no longer dared to give her true heart easily, and she dared not believe in such a false thing as love.

After this experience, she became inferior and timid, like a hedgehog, always wrapping herself in a sharp shell.

At this moment, she just wanted to guard her heart and stay in peace.

"Lanlan, Lanlan?"

When she came to her senses, she saw Ling Yisheng had brought her into a jewelry store. Various valuable jewellery were placed on the counter in front of her.

Ling Yisheng was still calling her, as if he wanted to ask her something.

"Well, what's wrong?" She had a confused look in her eyes and a dull expression.

"I'm asking, which one do you think is good-looking? Pick one and bring it over as a gift to my mother later."

Ling Yisheng repeated it again, looking at Xiao Jinglan with no trace of impatience in his eyes, only tolerance and tenderness.

"Aunt likes jewelry?"

Hearing this, Xiao Jinglan lowered his head and began to look at the jewelry on the counter with a serious look.

"Yeah, I like it very much." Ling Yisheng looked at her carefully choosing and his eyes became more gentle.

Her regard for his family is her regard for him.

So, he quietly stayed by Xiao Jinglan's side, letting her take her time to choose.

"Are there any specific requirements?" Xiao Jinglan asked without moving his eyes, and then further explained, "For example, do you prefer jade and gemstones or gold, silver and diamonds?"
