Chapter 611: Chapter 611: Learning the Truth
Stepping out of the Dragon Group headquarters, Ling Feng felt a headache coming on. Waking Mo Yu Sword was urgent, but he had also promised Liu Tingyu a ten-day trip to Europe.
"If only I could be at two places at once!" Ling Feng said with a wry smile, shaking his head.
Yet, in his heart, Ling Feng had made up his mind. Waking Mo Yu Sword was a must, and as for the European trip with Liu Tingyu, he would have to postpone it!
When Ling Feng got home, as he was pondering how to break the news to Liu Tingyu, he discovered she was already back and sitting on the living room couch.
"Baby, youâre back?" Ling Feng asked with a beaming smile, "Did you finish all your work handover? Howâs the packing coming along?"
Liu Tingyuâs expression was displeased. She glanced at Ling Feng indifferently and didnât speak.
Ling Feng was puzzled. She was fine in the morning, so why the poker face now? Even though Ling Feng didnât know why Liu Tingyu was unhappy, as her boyfriend, his main goal was to try his best to cheer her up!
"Whatâs wrong?" Ling Feng sat next to Liu Tingyu, put his arm around her shoulder, and asked gently, "Werenât you fine this morning? Why are you angry now? Did someone bully my Ting Yu? Tell me, and Iâll teach them a lesson!"
Liu Tingyuâs pretty face was frosty as she glanced at Ling Feng and said lightly, "Really? If someone bullied me, would you truly teach them a lesson?"
"Of course!" Ling Feng said, "You are the girl I cherish the most. Has someone really bullied you?"
At this, anger flickered across Ling Fengâs face.
"Sure, the one who bullied me is as far as the horizon and yet as close as right before my eyes!" Liu Tingyu exclaimed as she looked at Ling Feng, "Iâd like to see how youâre going to teach him a lesson!"
Ling Feng was stunned. As far as the horizon and yet right before my eyes? Besides Liu Tingyu, only he himself was left. Could it be that he was the one who had bullied her? Thatâs ridiculous, he was too busy cherishing her to ever bully her.
"This... Ting Yu, could there be some misunderstanding?" Ling Feng asked tentatively, "I wouldnât dare to bully you, not in a million years!"
Watching Ling Fengâs pained expression, Liu Tingyu couldnât help but sigh. She said in a somber tone, "Ling Feng, do you and Aunt Wan think of me as just a burden?"
Ling Fengâs face changed, and a bad premonition flashed through his mind. Could it be that Liu Tingyu had learned the truth of the matter? How could that be possible? How did she find out?
Seeing the slight change in Ling Fengâs expression, Liu Tingyu continued, "I know something must have happened last night; otherwise, I wouldnât have lost consciousness and only woken up this morning! You and Aunt Wan donât want to tell me because you think itâs for my own good, to spare me the worry and fear, I understand all that!"
"But then you suddenly come up with a ten-day trip to Europe. Do you really think I canât see whatâs going on?" Liu Tingyu said mournfully.
Ling Fengâs heart sank, and a wry smile appeared on his face. Aunt Wanâs plan was too rushed, which made Liu Tingyu suspect something was amiss. But he couldnât blame Aunt Wan for this. If it werenât for last nightâs incident, Ting Yu would have noticed nothing at all!
It was all a matter of coincidence, and no wonder Liu Tingyu was suspicious.
Liu Tingyu clasped Ling Fengâs hand and said softly, "Actually, when I first heard that I could go on a ten-day trip to Europe with you, I was so happy because I have always been longing for a romantic journey between us, and I was indeed moved at the time. But... Ting Yu isnât foolish, do you really think I left to hand over work? I went to ask Sister Yun about yesterdayâs events!"
At this moment, Ling Feng realized that his girlfriend was too smart and too difficult to deceive!
"So you know everything?" Ling Feng asked.
Liu Tingyu nodded, "I first found Sister Yun, then I found Bai Feifei, and finally, I knew everything! Is my father about to duel with someone recently? You arranged for me to go to Europe for my safety, didnât you?"
Ling Feng really wanted to say no, but looking at Liu Tingyuâs confident gaze, he knew that any denial now would be futile. Liu Tingyu already knew a lot of information.
"Thatâs right, it is indeed so!" Ling Feng sighed and said, "Ting Yu, we didnât intend to hide it from you, itâs just this matter..."
"I know!" Liu Tingyu said, "I know you love me, but have you considered how I feel? Do you think if I heard bad news about my father while I was abroad, I would ever be able to forgive myself in this lifetime?"
Ling Feng was shaken, and he fell silent! He and Aunt Wan had only thought about how to protect Liu Tingyu, but they had not considered things from Liu Tingyuâs perspective. Indeed, if Liu Tingyu found out the truth while abroad, with her personality, she would live her life in guilt and regret. Was that the ending they wanted?
"Iâm sorry!" Ling Feng said bitterly, "I have been too selfish!"
Liu Tingyu shook her head, "Ling Feng, I donât blame you. But what I want to tell you is that now that we are a family, we should weather the storm together! No matter what difficulties and dangers lie ahead, as long as we are together, there will be no hurdles we cannot overcome. Even if the sky were to fall, we could be companions on the Road of the Yellow Springs as a family, couldnât we?"
Ling Fengâs heart tightened, and he said earnestly, "Ting Yu, with me here, I wonât let anyone harm you!"
Liu Tingyuâs heart warmed, although sometimes, when she was alone, she felt a pang of regret, wondering why so many girls liked Ling Feng, after all, she was also a girl.
But Liu Tingyu knew that although Ling Feng was slow to pick up on feelings and not very good at rejecting others, he had a heart that was willing to give everything for her! In contrast, there were plenty who practiced monogamy but fled in opposite directions at the first sign of trouble!
Looking at Ling Feng, Liu Tingyu said seriously, "Ling Feng, tell me the truth, what are the odds of my father dueling with Long Guangyi?"
After thinking for a while, Ling Feng said, "Iâm not very clear about Uncle Liuâs strength, but he is known as the Undefeated Dragon King and is among the top forces in the whole world. But Long Guangyiâs strength is also not to be underestimated; at least... at least I am far from his match right now!"
As he said this, a bitter feeling flashed in Ling Fengâs heart. As a man, not being able to protect his own loved ones and being outmatched was the most shameful thing!
Liu Tingyuâs heart trembled, she knew Ling Feng was strong, but she never imagined that Ling Feng was far from being Long Guangyiâs match!
With this in mind, wasnât her father in great danger?
Thinking this, Liu Tingyu grabbed Ling Fengâs hand, "Ling Feng, come with me to see my father!"
