We Are Destined to Meet
Chapter 16
16. Savior or Ruiner
Translator: Iris GuoWhen he heard the voice, Ling Mubai’s body went stiff. He then frowned.
He might come to realize that it was his youngest uncle Ling Xiao that sat in the Porsche, which was rammed by my car.
Ling Mubai pulled a long face, straightened up and looked at Ling Xiao, “Uncle, this is my family issue, please let me deal with it alone.”
Ling Xiao stared at Ling Mubai nonchalantly. He sounded calm, with an imposing manner, “Your wife hit my car!”
The two men were confronting each other. There was no sign of a concession. I took advantage of the occasion, slipping into the Porsche, “Sweetie, let’s go! Now!”
Becoming more furious, Ling Mubai tried to catch me, but he was stopped by Ling Xiao.
“Ling Mubai, your mistress is waiting for you!” I threw a glimpse at Mei who stood behind. ‘She’s so calm. Ling Mubai and I are having a quarrel for a few minutes. She just stays still and says nothing.’ I thought.
Ling Mubai glanced at Mei who was trembling with coldness behind him, and then his eyes swept me indifferently. He turned around and helped Mei get into his car.
Ling Mubai’s tenderness towards Mei hurt me. I closed my eyes so as to hold back my tears and leant against the seat, pretending to be dead.
The car started, “Drive you home?” Asked Ling Xiao.
Mei might go back home. I didn’t want to see her face now, so I shook my hands, “To a hotel.”
Ling Xiao nodded and said to the driver, “Go back to my house.”
Dumbfounded, I turned to look at him, “Uncle, I said ‘to a hotel’.”
“I heard that.”
“So…”
“I’m just asking. I didn’t say I would listen to you.”
I was speechless.
I slapped Mei, but Ling Mubai smacked me.
After all these, I didn’t reap any benefit.
Even if I beat Mei to death, I still lost in the game of love. I was indeed a loser.
Pretended composure and indifference were my shield against others. Ling Mubai’s unrelenting slap broke my shield.
Love was fantastic. It emerged from nowhere and disappeared out of the blue, which resembled the relationship between Ling Mubai and me.
He had saved me, but dragged me into another deep abyss.
Was he my savior or ruiner?
The Porsche drove along the way smoothly. I closed my eyes. The scene Ling Mubai took Mei in his arms popped up in my mind.
‘Fine.’ I gave up and opened my eyes to look at Ling Xiao. He was as dashing as Ling Mubai and his imposing manner was shown in every detail..
My mind went blank, and I fixed my eyes on his face. He suddenly turned to me. His eyes met mine. Embarrassed, I lowered my head instantly and fiddled with my fingernails which were broken last night.
Ling Xiao was emotionless, “I don’t mind.”
I almost burst out laughing, ‘What? Did he just say he didn’t mind me staring at him? God, he’s so narcissistic!’
The sudden change of his tone made me feel weird.
I smiled awkwardly, trying to switch the conversation to another subject, “Uncle, thank you for helping me today. Please drop me off at a hotel. I might not go to your house.”
I should say thanks to him not only for today but also for his help last night.
Ling Xiao was so famous in the city and he was Ling Mubai’s uncle. If I went to his home, rumors would spread. That was bad for everyone.
After I finished my words, Ling Xiao showed a half smile and looked at me, “Are you afraid of me?”
The corner of my mouth twitched. ‘Yeah, I’m afraid of you.’
I knew I should repay the favor when others helped me, which also could bring me peace.
I looked into his eyes respectfully. “Uncle, what would you like me to do? You can say it.” I said as an inferior.
Ling Xiao threw a casual glimpse at me and looked away. His eyes were fixed on the road ahead. He said calmly, “I want… you!”
