deliberately approach you

At seven o'clock in the evening, Li Ruonan's photo shoot finally ended. The group quickly left the photography studio and drove to the beachside restaurant.

Leng Lingxiao had already arranged everything, so he could start enjoying it directly when he arrived.

During the meal, four people sat around a round table filled with various seafood. Everyone had been busy all afternoon and was indeed hungry at this time.

But what attracted Tang Xiaowan the most was the roasted whole lamb specially prepared for her by Leng Lingxiao.

Burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, with bursts of fragrant aroma.

The wine list is also quite rich, with all kinds of flavors available.Tang Xiaowan thought that the alcohol content of the foreign wine was too high for her to drink, so she tasted the aroma of red wine with Leng Lingxiao. Li Ruonan chose freshly squeezed juice because she was pregnant.

"Drink less, you will have more stamina." Leng Lingxiao turned his head and whispered into Tang Xiaowan's ear.

He was afraid that she would feel sick to her stomach if she was drunk.

"Oh, okay, just this one."

The two looked at each other and smiled, put their hands under the table, secretly pulled a hook, and stamped it.

Immediately, Li Ruonan looked at everyone excitedly: "I'm so happy today. Thank you for taking so many beautiful photos for me. Thank you."

Then he drank it all in one gulp.

"Miss Nannan, it's an honor to serve you." Tang Xiaowan continued seriously.

Not to be outdone, Shen Yiming immediately looked at Li Ruonan with a smile: "Honey, you are so beautiful today, like the goddess of the ocean!"

Li Ruonan gave him a blank look: "Hurry up and eat your prawns, there is so much nonsense."

"It's not nonsense, it's the truth."

"Let me see if you..."

Seeing that his wife was about to go crazy, Shen Yiming quickly shouted to Leng Lingxiao: "Lingxiao, it won't be postponed tomorrow, right?"

"What, diving?"

Shen Yiming was surprised and said: "I said, you are not too stupid to forget that, are you?"

"No, how come, ten o'clock."

After hearing this, Tang Xiaowan's eyes shone: "Wow, that's great. Let's go in the morning. Then we can eat the seafood we caught ourselves tomorrow!"

Leng Lingxiao smiled and handed over a piece of freshly cut mutton: "Yes."

After hearing such an affirmative reply, Shen Yiming looked at his wife with a smile, and followed Leng Lingxiao's behavior just now, picking up a piece of tender sea fish and putting it on Li Ruonan's plate.

"Honey, you can eat the seafood I caught myself tomorrow. Then I will definitely..."

"Safety is the most important thing, you know?"

"I know, thank you, wife."

The young couple finally reconciled again.

The meal was sweet and warm. It wasn't until half an hour later that Tang Xiaowan was dragged to the beach by Li Ruonan, and the two grown men began to be alone.

Shen Yiming raised his wine glass and touched it with Leng Lingxiao with a smirk on his face: "Happy wedding!"

"Didn't you tell me before?"

"Ling Xiao, isn't it? Just because of our relationship... are you still pretending to me?"

"Eat your prawns quickly."

"Come on, let me tell you something, last night... was it already the wedding night?"

After finishing his words, Leng Lingxiao hurriedly cleared his throat, and while drinking, he quickly glanced at Tang Xiaowan who was not far away. When he saw that she was playing with Li Ruonan, he felt a lot more at ease.

"Don't worry, you can't hear it from this far away... Come on, come on, come on, is that right?"

Seeing Shen Yiming being such a gossip, Leng Lingxiao didn't want to talk to him, so he took a sip of red wine, but his uncontrollable smile said everything.

That is happiness that cannot be hidden.

"I knew that if I opened a supreme suite but couldn't live in it, I must have gone home and done bad things."

After saying that, there was a burst of hearty laughter.

"Don't talk nonsense when Tangtang comes later, otherwise...be careful I expose you."

"I know, I know! I just said that when I saw that girl today... I felt something was wrong. Good guy, she just stayed away and didn't say a word to me. It was like..."

While Shen Yiming was still immersed in joking, Leng Lingxiao suddenly looked serious.

"Yi Ming, let's talk about something serious." "Just say it, you're so nervous!"

"Hasn't the equipment company Li Zishen cooperated with in country D already signed a contract? I was just thinking, if we..."

The two of them started working in this way, discussing how to cut off Li Zishen's escape route.

On the other side, in Jincheng, within just one meal, the news about the [-] million ransom on the dark web had already spread.

There is no doubt that it was Aunt Li who let him go.

The ladies were just chatting, laughing and lamenting, and naturally they didn't know that the kidnapped victim was Yuan Min, the distinguished Mrs. Li.

"This dress... looks familiar. I think I've seen someone wear it. Who is it?"

"I'm not sure who is raising a mistress outside. She has no name or status and cannot be seen in the light. Losing a little money is nothing. It's better than losing face."

"Humph, it's definitely not a good thing!"

"No matter how bad it is, he is still worth [-] million, and he also has dedicated services to help with painting, haircuts, etc."

"If it were me, I would just hit her to death. A woman's reputation is so important."

"Keep your voice down, be careful the walls have ears."

"I'm afraid it's all spread by now. Maybe I don't care at all, hahaha."

All kinds of rumors did reach Mrs. Li's ears as Aunt Li wished, but it just happened that Yuan Feng woke up, so Mrs. Li went straight to the hospital without being angry.

Beside the hospital bed, she held her brother's hand and called softly, her eyes moist.

When Yuan Feng slowly opened his eyes, he was very excited to see his sister beside him. After all, they had not seen each other for many years.

"Xiao Min, you..."

"Brother, you finally woke up!"

"In that matter, did Zishen..."

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Li shook her head. Yuan Feng naturally understood.

"Xiao Min, actually Mr. Li...has passed away...so many years ago. Even if he knows, it doesn't matter. Zi Shen won't..."

"Brother, rest in peace and recuperate, don't think about other things for now." Mrs. Li interrupted while wiping away tears.

Just at this moment, the phone rang.

Jingle bell, Jingle bell...

Mrs. Li took it out of her purse and saw that it was Li Jingshan. She quickly got up with a smile and went to the balcony, and then gently closed the sliding door.

After the call was connected, Li Jingshan's deep voice came from the other end of the phone: "Are the rumors true?"

Paper cannot hold fire.

No need to guess, Mrs. Li also knew what was going on, and simply answered directly: "Yes, the person in the video is me. It was last week that Zi Shen gave them [-] million before letting me back."

"I didn't expect...it was true."

"Yes, I was kidnapped." Mrs. Li glanced at her brother on the hospital bed with a wry smile.

"But at that time... weren't you still in the hospital? Didn't Zishen arrange for someone to guard the door? How could... have they been caught? Who was the mastermind behind it and how was it dealt with?"

Until now, Li Jingshan still couldn't believe it, but that set of clothes was something he had never seen before.

It was an autumn gift from Li Zishen to Mrs. Li. It was a haute couture set. There was no second set that was exactly the same in Jincheng.

As a mother, Mrs. Li is very happy.

But who would have thought that Mrs. Li would be deceived out of the ward just a few minutes after Wu Ma had ironed her clothes and sent her to the hospital.

Link after link, everything is designed.

"Say, who is the mastermind behind the scenes?"

Mrs. Li smiled faintly and took a deep breath: "It's okay, it's all over."

The implication is, don’t mention it again.

"I can understand not calling the police, but why don't you say something? Such a big thing happened..."

"Jingshan, my brother is awake."

As soon as Mrs. Li said these words, the sound on the other end of the phone suddenly went silent, and the silence was suffocating.
