Chapter 461 - Thief
Chapter 461 Thief
“Oh, is that so?” Gong Tianhao held his phone, but a cold sneer appeared on his face as he said, “Then let’s go and find out who this Leng person is. Is there really someone threatening her, or is she lying?”
Jiang Tao tore off his clothes to apply the medicine to his body. He frowned. “Tianhao, this person is just a figment of Qin Yan’s imagination. Why are we still going to investigate?”
Gong Tianhao said, “No, this person might really exist. However, he didn’t threaten Qin Yan. In fact, they might have some deals. Under your coercion, Qin Yan must have decided to throw him under the bus. Therefore, there has to be a second person who knows about this, and his surname is Leng.”
Jiang Tao said, “The surname Leng and the ability to trade with Qin Yan… Could it be someone from the Leng Family?”
“That’s why we need to investigate.” Gong Tianhao said, “I need to eliminate all possible dangers for Yu ‘Er.”
Jiang Tao smoked a cigarette and exhaled the smoke. He replied, “Okay.”
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Tao sat on the balcony of the apartment. He placed his phone on the small table and smoked. The smoke lingered in the air.
He shed his coldness and armor. A faint sadness and sorrow appeared on his face.
Jiang Tao lowered his head and muttered, “If you like him, then I will protect this love. Xiao Lingyu, Gong Tianhao, you must be happy.”
He had never been happy since he was young. Therefore, he hoped that the person he liked could be happy.
“I won’t let anyone hurt you. I’ll protect you in the dark, Xiao Lingyu,” Jiang Tao said in a low voice. “Without power, I can’t protect you and protect your happiness. So…” Jiang Tao picked up the red wine on the table, and he gently shook it a few times. The transparent glass made the red liquid in the glass brighter and more mellow. Then, he took a sip and said, “I came back this time to fight for power.”
He understood now.
Without power, he would never have freedom.
Without power, he could only be hurt.
Without power, anyone could hurt the person he liked.
Therefore, he wanted power.
This was for his freedom, his future, and for protecting the person he wanted to protect.
After Gong Tianhao hung up, his heart was heavy.
Jiang Tao had been restricted since he was young due to his identity as the heir of the Jiang Family. He wasn’t allowed to have any freedom or emotions.
Therefore, he had always wanted to escape from this identity.
His dream was to be an ordinary person and do what he liked, free and unfettered.
However, Xiao Lingyu’s appearance shattered his dream. Jiang Tao couldn’t explain why he had fallen in love with Xiao Lingyu. Love came without reason.
Jiang Tao couldn’t answer. Love was love.
However, because of his status, he could not love. He was not qualified. However, he hoped that he would become qualified to protect that woman’s love and happiness. So he needed to fight for power.
Gong Tianhao sighed softly. He fell in love with Xiao Lingyu and had to let down his good friend.
Following that, his expression became stern, and his expression became extremely cold as he said, “Qin Yan, you sure have guts. You are truly vicious. My Yu ‘Er doesn’t even know you, but you wanted to use someone else’s hands to kill her. You should be prepared to bear the price!”
After saying that, Gong Tianhao stood up and went to the Xiao family. It was in the middle of the night, so the gate was locked. However, the two-meter-tall wall could not stop his determination to leap into the house.
Gong Tianhao took two steps back and started running. He jumped to the top of the wall easily. Then, he jumped into the courtyard quietly without making a sound.
Then, he walked to Xiao Lingyu’s door like a thief and gently pushed it open.
The night was very dark. In the dark room, there was a faint fragrance. Gong Tianhao took a deep breath. Then, he sneaked to Xiao Lingyu’s bed.
Gong Tianhao’s eyes were very sharp. When he saw Xiao Lingyu sleeping soundly, he lowered his head and kissed her forehead. Then, he took off his clothes and trousers. His strong and slender body lay beside Xiao Lingyu. He stretched out his arms and let Xiao Lingyu’s head rest on his thick arms.
Just as he laid down, Xiao Lingyu, who was lying on her side, seemed to locate a familiar scent. She turned around and lay in Gong Tianhao’s arms. She seemed to be mumbling, “Tianhao, you’re here.”
Gong Tianhao picked up the thin sheet and covered her stomach. He smiled and replied softly, “Yes, I’m here. Go back to sleep.”
Xiao Lingyu replied softly, “Yes.” Then, she continued to sleep.
Gong Tianhao, “…”
Gong Tianhao looked at his lover, who was sleeping soundly like a baby in his arms. His face could not help but reveal satisfaction and happiness.
Then, he placed his chin on Xiao Lingyu’s head and closed his eyes to sleep.
When the sun rose, and the Xiao family was about to wake up, Gong Tianhao quickly opened his eyes and carefully moved her head away from his arms. Then, he got out of bed and quickly put on his clothes.
Hearing the sounds, Xiao Lingyu opened her eyes. Her eyes were still misty. She rubbed them with her hands and asked, “Is the sun going to rise soon?”
Gong Tianhao chuckled and said, “Yes. Your parents are going to wake up soon. Yu ‘Er, I have to go. You can continue to sleep. I’ll come back in a while.”
He would come over for breakfast in about an hour. He didn’t want to hide like a thief anymore. He hoped to get married as soon as possible so that they could sleep in the same bed openly.
However, the date of the wedding had already been set. Even if he wanted to bring it forward, it was impossible.
Fortunately, he only needed to endure for a few more days.
Gong Tianhao quickly left the Xiao family home.
He stepped over the wall and left. Then, Mother Xiao opened the yard gate and walked out. It was normal.
An hour and a half later, Gong Tianhao swaggered over.
Of course, Old Master Gong and Situ Xing followed him.
As for the others, they stayed at home to eat.
There were already many people in the Xiao family. It took Mother Xiao a long time to make breakfast. Plus, she would always make a variety of breakfasts.
Gong Family had many people.
Old Master Gong drank a bowl of red bean porridge and said to Gong Tianhao and Xiao Lingyu, “Hao ‘Er, Yu ‘Er, go and get the marriage certificate when you have time.” Grandpa Xiao was drinking a bowl of soy milk and taking a bite of the fried dough stick. He nodded in agreement and said, “That’s right. You should get the marriage certificate. The wedding will be held in a few days.”
Of course, Gong Tianhao had no problem with that.
He nodded and said, “Alright then. Yu ‘Er and I will go to the civil certificate office to get the marriage certificate later.”
“Okay. Eat up then.” Grandfather Gong was happy when he heard that. “Be careful on the road and take good care of my granddaughter-in-law, understand?”
Gong Tianhao said helplessly, “Grandfather, you don’t need to remind me of that.” Gong Tianhao’s heart also became slightly excited.
After getting the marriage certificate, he and Yu ‘Er would be a real couple. He wouldn’t need to sneak over every night like a thief anymore.
Xiao Lingyu held her bowl and gently drank her white congee. Once she drank the fragrant white congee, she felt very comfortable.
Mother Xiao reminded her, “Yu ‘Er, you need to prepare many things to get the marriage certificate. Don’t forget your household register and Identity Card. Tianhao, you too.”
Xiao Lingyu nodded and replied, “Okay.”
Mother Xiao also got up and went back to her room. She took out the household register and handed it to Xiao Lingyu, “This is the household register. Go and get your identity card!”
Xiao Lingyu, “…” Just how eager is mom to marry me off? Xiao Lingyu sighed. “I’ll go and get my ID card now.”
Gong Tianhao got up and followed Xiao Lingyu into the house. After finding the ID card, Gong Tianhao held Xiao Lingyu’s hand and said with a smile, “Yu ‘Er, we’re getting married soon.”
“That’s right. We are getting married soon!” Xiao Lingyu replied with some anticipation and shyness.
