The world is in trouble

Chapter 256 A Family of Five, A Turning Point in Their Fate!
Liao Feng is gone.

Xia Xi walked in and quietly looked at him.

"Buying Ping An for two hundred million US dollars is still a good deal."

Lin Xiao: "It's not that things are safe, it's just that things have been postponed again."

"I've said it before, whether you stick your neck out or not, you'll get stabbed anyway."

Xia Xi: "For you, is love more important, or is your career more important?"

Lin Xiao thought for a moment and said, "I don't know."

Yes, I really don't know.

He has devoted countless hours and emotions to this cause, and it carries the hopes of countless people.

But one thing is certain: in some aspects, it may not really have much to do with money anymore.

"However, I made this decision a long time ago, and the current situation is almost the most appropriate to face this storm."

"Some things you can't avoid."

"Besides, don't you always want to be the boss?"

"Get out!" Xia Xi said, "I want to be the boss, and I also want to be the boss of a family of five."

"However... I can be any kind of boss."

"Since the decision has already been made, let's just wait quietly for this storm to arrive."

"Anyway, without taking this step, the future is completely uncertain."

Xia Xi: "Is the turning point in our family of five's fate about to arrive?"

"Fine, it all comes down to the three of you!"

"FUCK, your challenge and your ambition are just too big."

........................

Liao Feng returned to Renren Group and said slowly, "Lin Xiao rejected the offer of two hundred million US dollars, but he is willing to offer two hundred million RMB."

"He only wants Renren Video. Buying Renren Video costs 200 million, and buying the entire Renren Group also costs 200 million!"

"Moreover, after the acquisition, they directly merged Renren Video into YouTube, and shut down Renren.com!"

"You can vote on whether you agree to this offer."

There was silence.

Nobody agreed.

Honestly, each of these shareholders comes from a large and powerful family. If they can really sell for two hundred million dollars, then swallowing this humiliation is still worthwhile.

But 200 million RMB?

forget about it!

I can't afford to lose this person.

"The combined assets of everyone here are worth more than hundreds of billions."

How could it be hundreds of billions?

It far exceeded that.

However, those are assets of the entire system, not those of an individual.

"They really are arrogant. They're unwilling to spend two hundred million dollars to buy peace of mind, to buy a complete victory," Miyazaki said. "Aren't they afraid that we'll completely abandon this asset and fight to the death?"

Liao Feng: "He has powerful backers, very powerful backers."

"So, we're also caught in a dilemma, like throwing a stone at a rat for fear of breaking the vulnerabilities."

"We have been reluctant to resort to the last resort because that could very well be a clash between two systems."

"But I'm curious to know, is Lin Xiao considered a direct descendant of that system?"

"If we really use political and financial power to attack him, will his backers really be willing to protect him?"

"Next, we need everyone to make a decision."

"If my family really launches a political attack on him, are you willing to cooperate? It won't cost much. But as a consequence, it will probably be difficult to preserve the remaining assets of Renren Group."

"Or rather, is there anyone who objects?"

Everyone acquiesces.

If Lin Xiao is willing to spend two hundred million US dollars to buy Renren.com, then this compromise is worthwhile, as it can secure that people will not retaliate.

but now……

You're not even willing to spend two hundred million dollars.

Then don't blame everyone.

.....................

Lin Xiao welcomed a guest, who was also an important ally of the Lightning Group: Liu Feifei, the head of Merrill Lynch China.

"Last time, your Lightning Entertainment made too much money and the revenue share was too high, which angered the entire TV industry. Then the whole system there launched a siege against you, trying to bring you down politically and in terms of reputation, and forcing you to open up your Lightning Group shares and let them have a share of the pie."

"Of course, the last hunt failed. It was almost halfway through, and before they could really surround you, someone came to your rescue."

"Therefore, there are some methods they can no longer use."

Lin Xiao still vividly remembers that moment; the attack came out of nowhere.

“But this time the situation is a little different.” Liu Feifei: “Because this time you took the initiative to provoke a war, which directly and completely crushed Renren Group and dealt a fatal blow to its reputation.”

"So to some extent, they have a legitimate reason to act."

"President Lin, if they launch another attack this time, it will be extremely fierce."

"This could trigger a fierce struggle between the two systems."

"At that point, it might not be a matter of money anymore, but a violent clash between two very large capital groups and two political systems."

"When that time really comes, whether the system you're in will still be willing to protect you is truly an unknown."

"As far as I know, you've met with them very few times; the media has always been Mayor Lien."

This is true.

Lin Xiao currently has two protection systems, one in Shanghai, because of his deep cooperation with Shanghai Media Group and his gradual becoming a brand in Shanghai's internet industry.

Another powerful protection system comes from the powerful backers behind Lian Zheng.

Even the progress in Vancouver is actually quite difficult.

However, Lien Cheng's courage and integrity are admirable.

Liu Feifei: "President Lin, listen to me, buying this peace for two hundred million US dollars is a very good deal."

“If you are experiencing a cash crunch, we are willing to provide a loan. And you don’t need to give up any shares, and the interest rate is very low.”

Capital is inherently averse to risk and volatility.

Merrill Lynch is also an ally of the Lightning Group, although it only underwrote Jiayuan.com's IPO and didn't earn a huge profit. However, the Lightning Group has a lot of assets, and its future profits are enormous.

However, any unrest would also affect Merrill Lynch's interests.

Lin Xiao: "President Liu, actually... two hundred million US dollars can't buy peace, it can only buy temporary peace."

"Even if I spend two hundred million dollars to buy Renren.com, given their nature, they will still launch an attack. It's just that they won't launch it themselves, but through overseas forces or other forces."

"At most, they will only attack me and not escalate the attack."

Liu Feifei stared at Lin Xiao for a long time: "I knew it, I couldn't change your mind."

"But... why did something that was originally a matter of two hundred million have to be turned into a huge upheaval involving billions of dollars?"

"All large-scale wars are triggered by small-scale battles. From the perspective of later generations, it is completely a losing proposition."

........................

Next, Lin Xiao and Lian Zheng met.

But this time, the atmosphere was unprecedented.

Just half an hour later, Lian Zheng stormed out of the door.

When she came out, Lian Zheng's eyes were red.

"You...you...you..."

Even when he's furious, Lian Zheng finds it hard to utter angry words.

Then, without saying a word, he got into his car and left.

After getting back into the car, Lian Zheng took out his phone and dialed Lian Yi's number.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

Lianyi's voice was still full of joy.

She was very happy because Lin Xiao had been spending time with her almost every day recently.

Upon hearing this voice, Lian Zheng immediately swallowed back the words he was about to say.

"Nothing, I just wanted to talk to you," Lian Zhengdao said.

Next, the father and daughter chatted for a while, about everyday things. For a full ten minutes, Lian Yi basically complained about how Lin Xiao had bullied her.

But the sweetness and happiness in her words were impossible to suppress.

After hanging up the phone, Lian Zheng closed his eyes, and the scene from that moment involuntarily came to mind.

At that time, Lin Xiao encountered a big problem and came to Kecheng alone to find him.

At first, Lian Zheng thought that Lin Xiao just wanted to create a Southeast Information Portal, a local portal, and he greatly appreciated it.

result……

Lin Xiao finally told the truth: Southeast Information Port was just a facade; what he really wanted to do was a business that skirted the edges of reality.

That is, Yangwang (痒网) and Yangyang Live Room (痒痒直播间).

At that time, Lian Zheng hesitated, unsure whether he should agree to help.

His wife asked him at the time, "If it's just this one favor, then you wouldn't be so conflicted about it."

Lian Zheng said that if someone helps, that's the beginning of the problem, and then the entanglement can never be resolved.

It turned out that it was indeed the case.

But unexpectedly, a second such difficult moment came once again.

Lin Xiao continued to speak the truth.

However, this time... it's really infuriating.

This is an unprecedented upheaval in his emotions!
As a result, Lian Zheng left without saying a word.

It must be said that, as a woman, the wife has a very keen intuition.

Almost from the very beginning, she tried every means to hinder the relationship between Little Water Drop and that rascal, and even blamed his wife for being too materialistic.

And now... it turns out my wife's intuition was right.

This bastard is really good at making a living.

But... he's such a jerk when it comes to relationships.

Finally, Lian Zheng sent Lin Xiao a text message.

"I won't tell Lian Yi. You have to be honest with her yourself. You have to bear the consequences of your own actions!"

"Meeting and parting are all predestined!"

....................................

A visitor arrived, someone Lin Xiao never expected.

Liao Er!

He was a core member of the system and Xia Xi's former fiancé.

Of course, this was also the first and second time that the mastermind behind the encirclement and hunt against Lin Xiao had launched such an operation.

The first time was when Lin Xiao was about to sell Yangwang. They mobilized the media and official resources to investigate Yangwang, slandering it for forcing women into prostitution, trafficking women, and so on.

The second time was the hunt for Lightning Entertainment.

Of course, his name isn't Liao Er; he's just the second oldest in his family.

"It was my suggestion to have you acquire Renren.com for two hundred million US dollars; I forced Liao Feng to agree," Liao Er said. "Did he talk to you about it later?"

Lin Xiao: "We talked about it."

Liao Er: "Was his meaning clear? I'm worried that he didn't express himself clearly."

Lin Xiao: "He expressed himself quite clearly."

Liao Er: "Oh, was it because he was arrogant? Not sincere enough? You should forgive him, after all, he's young and impetuous."

Lin Xiao: "No, his attitude was unusually sincere."

Liao Er: "That's strange, why don't you agree?"

"Two hundred million dollars to buy peace and a dignified victory, isn't that a good deal?"

Lin Xiao said slowly, "If we can really buy peace, then of course it's worth it. But the so-called leverage you have will always remain, and as the Lightning Group grows bigger, the power of this so-called leverage will also grow."

"Don't you plan to attack me when the opportunity arises in the future?"

"It's better to explode now than later."

Liao Er slowly said, "It seems you still don't understand the rules of the game in China."

"Domestically, morality trumps everything."

Lin Xiao certainly understood; Dong Ge was the most obvious example.

That little thing in his crotch almost put him in a desperate situation.

Liao Er: "Wouldn't it be better to postpone this explosive situation? If it's kept postponed, there might be a huge turning point."

Lin Xiao: "If we delay for a few more years, the market value of Lightning Group will be many times that of now. If we trigger an explosion at that time, the turmoil will be even greater."

Liao Er: "Your current system is still too small, and its weight in your group is too light. If you detonate it now, they might not protect you. Wait until the Lightning Group has grown big enough that it can't afford to fail, then they will definitely protect you to the death."

Lin Xiao remained silent.

That's right. If the Lightning Corporation becomes too large, and some turmoil occurs, the higher-ups will try to protect it, but the cost will be much higher then.

It can only be said that the greater the price someone pays, the greater their demands will be.

Liao Er: "Are you really not going to buy it?"

At this point, he wasn't even talking about spending money to buy Renren.com anymore.

Basically, it means paying money to buy peace of mind.

Lin Xiao shook his head.

Liao Er: "Okay, I understand."

....................................

A few days later!

An unexpected message arrived.

Surprisingly, someone actually acquired Renren.com, and it was a completely unexpected investor.

Microsoft!

Microsoft acquired Renren.com for $1.2 million and retained Chen Yizhou as its CEO.

Furthermore, it was announced that Renren.com would integrate its data with MSN.

Inertia is truly powerful.

Although Microsoft did not acquire Renren.com in the past, it did form a strategic partnership with Oak Pacific Interactive, with the two companies agreeing to share accounts and highly integrating the content of their websites.

Microsoft's MSN has always had a following in the country and is particularly popular among some middle-class individuals.

At one point, MSN also made a strong push, aiming to make a big splash in the social networking field.

Furthermore, they launched a bunch of bourgeois-style internet celebrities, the most representative of whom is Poison, which actually relies on a social networking system.

Now, Microsoft hasn't given up on this opportunity, which can be considered a huge stroke of luck.

Moreover, Renren Group had approached Tencent and Sina before finally reaching Lin Xiao, but they never expected Microsoft to step in.

A price of $1.2 million is definitely a huge loss.

Moreover, Microsoft has been lying in wait for a long time, waiting for Renren.com to be desperate before suddenly making a move and acquiring it at a low price.

The entire transaction process was very fast.

While everyone was heartbroken at the loss of Renren.com, they also breathed a long sigh of relief.

........................

That day, Lin Xiao spent the whole morning with Lian Yi.

"Hmph, has the sun risen in the west?"

"You actually came with me this morning? Something's not right, something's not right..."

"Tell me, have you done something to betray me?"

Lian Yi's beautiful eyes were filled with vigilance, both fierce and soft.

Lin Xiao said sternly, "Want to go have some fun? If not, I'm going back to the company..."

"Why are you being so fierce?" Lian Yi said in a coquettish voice, "You're not gentle with me at all."

Then Lin Xiao said, "Hurry up and think of where you want to go to play?" So, Lian Yi quickly turned her little head and thought about where to go to play.

After thinking for a while, she finally came up with a destination: "Xitang".

Lin Xiao: "You've thought about this for so long, and all you came up with was this crowded tourist spot?"

"It's so annoying! I finally came up with a place, and you're going to laugh at me. So tell me, where do we want to go?" Lian Yi said angrily. "You're so busy, and I can't choose a place that's too far away. You still have to rush back to work."

"Ugh, ugh, can't you be a little gentler with me?" Lian Yi clung to Lin Xiao's arm, pouting and acting coquettishly.

"Then tell me, where do you want to go for fun?"

Lin Xiao thought for a moment and said, "How about we go to Huangshan to watch the sunset?"

Lian Yi was taken aback. So far?
Don't you go to work?
What day is it today? It's not your birthday, it's not my birthday, and it's not Valentine's Day.

But she was still pleasantly surprised.

This means Lin Xiao can spend the whole day with her, and the two of them have never been to such a far place before.

“And how about we take the train?” Lin Xiao said.

Lian Yi's eyes lit up. How romantic!
"Okay..." Lian Yi happily linked arms with Lin Xiao and couldn't help but kiss him on the cheek: "Tell me, what special day is it today that you're being so nice to me?"

Lin Xiao: "Today is a rather special day."

"Liar..." Lian Yi: "How come I didn't know?"

Lin Xiao: "Today is the day several years ago when I first had a wet dream about you."

"Pah, pah, pah..." Lian Yi: "Shameless, shameless!"

"I'm going to pack my things. Wait for me for twenty minutes."

Lin Xiao: "Hurry up..."

Next, Lian Yi rushed to the house, quickly packed her change of clothes, and then excitedly ran downstairs alone with her suitcase.

"You jerk, you just waited down there instead of going up to help me carry this heavy suitcase."

Lin Xiao: "With your broad shoulders and thick waist, what do you need my help with?"

"You're talking nonsense, you're talking nonsense..." Lian Yi couldn't help but punch him. This person was really annoying. He was never willing to give in to her and liked to talk nonsense.

She's not broad-shouldered and thick-waisted at all; she's as slender as a willow.

Jiang Lier, that's what you call broad-shouldered and thick-waisted, okay?

Then, Lianyi's phone vibrated.

Jiang Lier replied to the message.

Because she had just sent Jiang Lier a text message while tidying up.

"Why did he suddenly decide to take me to Huangshan to watch the sunset?"

Jiang Li'er looked sour, but still replied, "He wants to sleep with you properly. Are you in your safe period?"

Upon receiving this text message, Lian Yi's face instantly turned bright red.

"What text message? Let me see it," Lin Xiao said.

"No..." Lian Yi quickly deleted the text message and said, "I... I forgot to take something else."

Then, she ran upstairs.

I opened the drawer and found a box of Durex condoms inside.

Her face turned completely red instantly. She quickly grabbed it, stuffed it into her pocket, and ran downstairs.

"Get on the bus, get on the bus..."

"Driver, to the train station!"

Lian Yi quickly got into the car, then huddled in a corner, feeling like she was breathing fire.

Fearing that Lin Xiao would ask her what she had taken upstairs, she quickly changed the subject after getting into the car.

Upon arriving at the train station, Lian Yi still carried her own suitcase through security.

"Don't you have any suitcases? Aren't you bringing anything?" Lian Yi said reproachfully.

Lin Xiao: "No."

Lian Yi: "Then where are your spare clothes and toiletries?"

Lin Xiao: "Didn't you bring it for me?"

"Hmph... I brought it, but I won't let you use it." Lian Yi: "You have no gentlemanly manners at all, and you don't even know to help me carry my suitcase."

Next, while queuing to board the bus, Lian Yi realized that it was better for her to carry the suitcase.

Because Lin Xiao gently hugged her from behind, preventing others from crowding her.

The scent emanating from Lin Xiao, and the sight of their affection in the crowd, filled her with sweetness.

The two had always kept their relationship very secret, as if it were something they couldn't be seen in public, and even their dates had to be in places where there were no other people around.

After boarding the train, one person had a lower berth and the other had a middle berth.

Moreover, the two of them bought hard sleeper tickets, not soft sleeper tickets.

Inside the cubicle, there was a young couple and a middle-aged couple.

When Lin Xiao and Lian Yi boarded the train, the young couple were lying on the opposite middle bunk, cuddling together. The girl was wearing jeans and had a round bottom.

So, Lin Xiao took another look.

"You're not allowed to look..." Lian Yi immediately covered Lin Xiao's eyes: "If you keep looking, I'll get angry."

Then, she excitedly took out a bag of fruit, which turned out to be mangosteens.

Because the departure was so sudden, she just grabbed a bag at random.

So this scene is very strange; she is so beautiful and exquisite.

Moreover, these little hands have won major piano awards; they are truly delicate and beautiful.

The result... was that these beautiful little hands, with a single, forceful squeeze, crushed the mangosteen's outer shell.

Then, with slender fingers, he scooped out the snow-white flesh from inside and placed it in front of Lin Xiao's mouth.

"Ah..." She fed Lin Xiao a piece first, and then ate a piece herself.

Lin Xiao: "You're still not convinced when I say you're broad-shouldered and strong? With all that strength, you even managed to crush this mangosteen with one hand when it was already hard."

“I play the piano, so my fingers are naturally strong,” Lian Yi threatened. “Let me tell you, my punches hurt even more. Want to try?”

Upon hearing Lin Xiao's voice, the girl in the middle bunk opposite her stiffened slightly.

then……

She turned around and looked at Lin Xiao in disbelief.

Is this world so small?

We've run into each other again?

Yu Yang!

On the train back from Beijing after selling the Panda Burning Incense virus for the first time, Lin Xiao encountered Yu Yang and her boyfriend.

And at night, I listened to humming and moaning for more than ten minutes.

Of course, Lin Xiao later sent her boyfriend to prison.

Yu Yang did not suffer any retaliation and remained at the Southern Daily.

She instinctively put on a flattering smile and then fixed her hair.

"Who is it? Do you know them?" her boyfriend asked.

Yu Yang hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Lin Xiao and Lian Yi.

She didn't know Lian Yi, but she thought the girl was stunningly beautiful.

At this moment, Lin Xiao probably didn't want others to call him by name, so Yu Yang shook his head and said, "No, I don't know him."

His boyfriend, who was probably around 28 or 29, immediately showed some suspicion and hostility upon seeing the handsome Lin Xiao.

He had seen his girlfriend's nervous expression earlier.

Around noon, Lian Yi exclaimed in surprise.

"It's all your fault, you rushed me so much, I didn't even have time to prepare the meal," Lian Yi said sweetly.

Lin Xiao: "What, can't we eat the food from the dining car?"

Lian Yi: "You don't appreciate my kindness. I just didn't want you to eat the food from the dining car."

Then, the two of them went to the dining car.

After much deliberation, Lianyi finally settled on a bowl of noodles.

Instead, Lin Xiao ordered several dishes and then ate them with gusto.

Halfway through the meal, Yu Yang came over and sat down opposite Lin Xiao.

"Mr. Lin, hello... I didn't expect to see you here." Her tone was nervous and apprehensive.

After Lianyi's noodles arrived, she carried them directly to her stall.

"I'll eat in the sleeper car..." She was really smart and very understanding.

Yu Yang was filled with emotion. When she first met Lin Xiao a few years ago, he was just a naive high school student. She never imagined that he would become such a great figure whom she looked up to with such awe.

"How did you end up on this bus? Are you on vacation?" Lin Xiao asked.

Yu Yang: "My boyfriend is from Huizhou. It's almost Qingming Festival, and he's going home. This is the first time I'm going with him to meet his family."

"Sorry, my boyfriend is an honest man and hasn't seen much of the world."

Lin Xiao: "A programmer?"

Yu Yang nodded: "Yes."

Lin Xiao was surprised. He thought Yu Yang was a vain girl, how could she be interested in such a dull and honest man?

"I've been through a lot these past few years. I've been... I've been kept by a sugar daddy, I've been sexually harassed by my boss, and I've even been caught by his wife..." Yu Yang said, "I've been through a lot..."

She didn't even know why she had to tell Lin Xiao these things.

"Of course, Mr. Lin, I... I came to see you not to say these things, but because I am, after all, a member of the media there. We've all heard rumors that they've mobilized a lot of media power to attack you, and even someone like me has been given the task."

"One more thing, I can't stand staying there, and I don't want to be separated from my boyfriend."

"If...if...you have a good job opportunity, could you consider me..."

"Of course I know I'm being presumptuous, and my rank is far, far below yours, but... but I am..."

Lin Xiao nodded and said, "I understand."

Yu Yang quickly stood up: "Then I won't disturb you any longer. Enjoy your meal..."

Then, she retreated until she was out of Lin Xiao's sight before letting out a long sigh of relief.

I was so nervous just now, my back was almost covered in sweat.

........................

A few hours later, the train arrived at Huangshan Station.

“Quick, quick, quick…”

"Otherwise we won't make it to sunset..."

Lian Yi held Lin Xiao's hand with one hand and dragged the suitcase with the other, running forward at breakneck speed.

After exiting the train station, a car was already waiting. The two got in, and the Mercedes immediately sped off to the Huangshan Scenic Area.

Then, we boarded the cable car as quickly as possible.

After getting off the cable car, it's still quite a distance to Bright Summit, about two kilometers away.

There are flat roads here, but also many steps.

Lian Yi was carrying the suitcase herself when Lin Xiao took it from her.

"Don't rush, there's still plenty of time..."

Lin Xiao walked slowly, while Lian Yi walked hurriedly.

More than half an hour later, the two arrived at the Bright Summit Hotel, where the room had already been booked.

As expected, they only booked one room.

Lian Yi's face instantly turned red, and she glared at Lin Xiao, thinking, "I knew you had no good intentions."

Back in the room, Lian Yi neatly arranged the toiletries on the bathroom sink. She had prepared toothpaste and a toothbrush for Lin Xiao, and even brought a razor.

Then, he neatly hung Lin Xiao's and his own clothes in the wardrobe.

Finally, I touched up my makeup a little in the mirror.

She is very refined and beautiful; she really only needs a little bit of makeup.

"Go, go, go..."

"Let's go see the sunset and grab a good spot."

As she walked to the door with Lin Xiao by the arm, she suddenly came back, opened the drawer, and put the box of Durex condoms inside.

But feeling embarrassed, he quickly stuffed the box into the corner of the mattress.

………………

Bright Summit, waiting for the sunset.

Lian Yi even brought a large towel from home, which she spread on the stone so the two of them could sit and wait for the sunset.

Watching her bend over and spread out the large towel, Lin Xiao was filled with emotion.

She's a real little princess, isn't she? She never used to serve anyone, but somehow she seems to have learned everything.

Squeeze the mangosteen to burst open.

Lay out a large towel.

Even details like what to wear and tie.

Having always been pampered and cared for, she has now begun to learn how to take care of others.

After waiting for almost an hour, the sun set.

The weather is still very nice.

The clouds were just right, providing a perfect backdrop for the magnificent glow of the sunset.

"So beautiful..." The people around cheered.

"What do you mean by watching the sunset?" Lian Yi nestled in Lin Xiao's arms and asked softly.

Lin Xiao: "Watching the sunset, of course, means walking together to the end, growing old together."

Lian Yi: "What about watching the sunrise?"

Lin Xiao: "Every morning, we get up together."

Lian Yi: "Then I not only want to watch the sunset, I also want to watch the sunrise."

Lin Xiao: "Okay!"

Then, at the most beautiful moment of sunset.

Lin Xiao took out a ring, and silently took her small hand and slowly slipped it onto her finger.

It's still custom-made. First, we find an extremely rare blue diamond, then design it according to the characteristics of Lianyi, and finally make it.

A moment...

Lianyi's beautiful eyes sparkled with boundless surprise.

as if……

All the time of the past twenty years has culminated in this moment of happiness.

Then, it blooms in an instant.

This was the first time Lin Xiao had ever seen such pure surprise and ultimate happiness in a girl's eyes.

She pouted, as if she wanted to say something, but her eyes were already filled with tears.

She blinked and stared at Lin Xiao with deep affection.

I want to express joy, happiness, and a little bit of grievance.

Hmph, I've been waiting for you for so long, and you're only bringing it out now.

But it was still an endless joy.

Then, she stopped watching the sunrise and reached out to wipe away her tears.

She raised her little hand and looked at the custom-made blue diamond ring.

I immediately realized that this ring was absolutely stunning.

It matches my little hands so well, it's like they were born to be together.

She wanted to say something, but couldn't bring herself to say it. She pouted, lifted Lin Xiao's coat, and buried herself in his arms.

She wanted Lin Xiao's body and coat to completely cover her.

They don't want to reveal even the smallest bit of happiness.

..............................

Note: This is a crucial plot point; could you please give me a few monthly tickets? Thank you all!
