Chapter 60: Follow Your Heart

  This cup?

  Is it broken by itself?

  Leng Xi was shocked and couldn't help but think of the scene earlier where Ling Han held a high-footed cup, his slender fingers' joints were white, and suddenly he realized, was it him who broke it?

  Is he angry? But this is also unthinkable. The glass cup was subjected to force and did not break immediately, how could it shatter after a while?

  What kind of person is he, to be able to do what ordinary people can't?

  Leng Xi's heart was in a state of turmoil, both shocked and entwined with an unattainable strangeness, she stared blankly, frozen in place.

  Du Shaohui looked at the bright red liquid flowing on the table and slightly furrowed his brow, had Han Dashao lost his temper?

  Not yet openly and uprightly angry, this way of enduring to give people a deterrent force, Han Da Shao only when negotiating at the table, facing those powerful and wealthy drug lords, facing severe forms, strong and arrogant enemies, it is not advisable to start a direct conflict, can only endure and take cleverly, take the strategy of lying in wait for an opportunity to strike, to defeat the opponent with strategy, under his elegant tone, the anger inside needs to be vented, but it's not suitable to show it obviously, at this time, he has his usual trick.

  He concentrated his strength on the glass cup in his fingers, making it want to shatter but unable to do so. His hand was both the instrument of destruction for the glass cup and the protective source that prevented it from shattering instantly.

  As soon as his hand left the glass cup for a moment, the force was applied, and the glass cup that should have shattered without protection naturally broke into pieces.

  At the negotiating table, whenever Ling Han emerged victorious with his clever strategies, he would flash a charming smile at his opponent, bestow upon them an admiring glance, and then rise from his seat with ease. Before long, the glass cup on the table would shatter into pieces, leaving his opponent with a strong sense of intimidation and a lingering shock.

  This is Ling Han's consistent style of doing things, and only he can have this skill, achieving this state!

  Du Shaohui turned around and looked at Leng Xi with a puzzled expression, who was still in shock.

  It was clear what had just happened, he gained nothing from it, but being chased up and seeing this scene however piqued his interest.

  He raised an eyebrow, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes. Han Shao actually started to get angry with this weak woman! It was truly rare for him to lose his temper like this, especially considering his cold and ruthless personality. He shouldn't be getting so worked up over someone as insignificant as her.

  It seems there's a show, Du Shaohui had an expression of watching the excitement, the smile in his eyes grew thicker and thicker. He held the gift box in his hand, walked to Leng Xi's front, with a smile on his face, saying: "Leng Xi, don't mind Ling Han, he's just a big pervert, even the glass cup is not satisfactory for him, self-destructing to express his protest, let's go, follow me to the auction venue, sit far away from Ling Han, completely ignoring him!"

  Du Shaohui's tone was casual, but it wasn't hard to hear the hint of mockery in his words.

  He was slandering Ling Han, making excuses for her, telling her not to take it too seriously and not to be too sad.

  Leng Xi is an understanding person and can naturally hear clearly.

  But the shock that Ling Han had just given her left her reeling for a while, and she felt a dull thud in her heart, some panic and confusion, as well as a sense of loss.

  She slightly raised her head, squeezed a smile at Du Shaohui, "Okay, I'll listen to Brother Du, ignore him, I want to go to the restroom to touch up my makeup first, Brother Du can sit down first, I'll find you later." She wanted to calm down alone for a while and sort out the tangled threads in her mind.

  Du Shaohui rubbed his chin, "Alright, I'll be over there, see you later." He pointed to the middle of the hotel lobby and left with a smile.

  Facing the mirror in front of the sink, Leng Xi took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

  Everyone has something they fear, everyone will subconsciously distance themselves from things or people that terrify them. Leng Xi is just an ordinary girl, her heart beats with flesh and blood, she's no exception.

  The chill of the tomb still lingered in her eyes, and he had just shattered a cup with an empty gaze. The shocking fear was so natural that it had already deeply embedded itself in her heart. She had always been afraid of his temper, but she never thought that when he wasn't angry, he was even more terrifying, like the depths of his dark and mysterious eyes, which seemed bottomless and endless, filled with an eerie and chilling intent.

  She calmed down and realized that loving someone really takes courage, the courage to understand him, to accept everything about him, and to bear with everything about him.

  There is no free lunch in this world, and love is the same. If you have fallen in love, if you have decided to follow your heart and pursue your own happiness, then she needs strong and sufficient courage, even more so a tenacious heart.

  Leng Xi took a deep breath again, dispelling the lingering chill from Ling Han's previous action, lifted her head, looked at herself in the mirror, and gave herself strength with a firm gaze. Then, a sweet smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, as if she were a sunflower chasing after the sunshine after a rain, radiant and full of life.

  The waves in his chest finally subsided, and at this moment, Leng Xi's mood also relaxed a lot.

  Once I relaxed, I started thinking in a positive direction.

  Ling Han got angry because Aunt Cao said she had a marriage contract with Bai Yicheng. He was angry, which means he still cares about her. The degree of his anger represents how much he cares about her.

  It feels great to be cared about by someone you like.

  A woman immersed in love is always a little silly, knowing there are tigers on the mountain, but still heading towards the tiger mountain, not for anything else, just for that one heart filled with him.

  Leng Xi smiled slightly and surprisingly started counting on her fingers the extent to which he cared about her.

  "Ah..."

  In a daze, her forehead suddenly felt an extra palm-sized force, which lifted up her slightly lowered head.

  "Watch out! You're going to bump into someone!"

  A slightly hoarse but powerful voice sounded in front of her.

  Leng Xi raised her eyes, and saw a man with a typical robust build, well-developed muscles, and a face that exuded an air of murder. His facial features were slightly rough, his skin had a dark luster, and his eyes, which seemed to hold a hint of bloodthirstiness, stared straight at her.

  Leng Xi held his breath, puckered up a mouthful of air, hastily withdrew his head from his palm, and hurriedly lowered his head. "Sorry, sorry..."

  She didn't realize until then that she had walked out of the restroom, lost in thought, and hadn't watched where she was going, almost bumping into someone.

  It's just that the men's and women's toilets share a common entrance.

  Leng Xi hastily apologized and moved his body to one side, giving way to that person.

  The man didn't leave immediately, his eyes, with a hint of bloodshot, fixed intently on Leng Xi, his rough gaze burning with desire: Beauty, I didn't expect you to be so beautiful!

  "Hey woman, what's your name? Tell me and I won't bother you." The man's hoarse and powerful voice suddenly came over.

  Feeling him approaching, Leng Xi's body tensed up, "Sorry sir, I apologize for my rudeness, I have something to do, I'll leave first..." Leng Xi only felt a numb and frightened feeling all over his body, and awkwardly turned around, quickening his pace.
