C134 Marrying Him Is a Disaster
Suddenly a strong white light shot over, piercing the two of them so hard they couldn't open their eyes.
"What's going on? Who are you guys? Why are you still at the lighthouse at such a late hour? " An English question with a strong local accent was heard.
...
"That's what happened." After the two of them explained, the other party's vigilant brows gradually relaxed.
Ling Yao and Hai Xiaomin looked at each other. No one expected their teasing to be effective. The guards attracted them to check on the situation.
"Alright, alright, I understand. Sorry, I locked you guys inside without checking the last time. There is a small hotel on the other side of the mountain. I will take you there for a night." The lighthouse keeper said.
"No need, we want to go down the mountain," the watchman said. Ling Yao said.
"Go down the mountain overnight? It's not as easy as during the day. Come and take a look." The lighthouse keeper brought the two of them to the top of the mountain and pointed at the dark forest below. "There is no light on the way down the mountain. Your wife is injured. You should stay for the night and go down the mountain tomorrow morning!"
Wife!
Hai Xiaomin was shocked by this nickname. When she thought of their actions when they were hit by the other party, she could not help but feel hot in her ears. No wonder the other party mistook them as husband and wife at first glance.
She did not know if Ling Yao did not notice this, or if he felt that there was no need to spend a lot of effort to correct her. He only looked at Hai Xiaomin and thought to himself.
Hai Xiaomin understood that if it was Ling Yao himself, he could stay. It would not be a problem for him to go down the mountain in the middle of the night. The troublesome one was her. Previously, she said that she wanted to rush back to the Syah. It was originally not easy to go down the mountain at night, but she was still injured.
A trace of guilt flashed across the depths of Hai Xiaomin's eyes. She deeply felt that she was a burden.
"I will stay..."
"Let's go down the mountain. Please give us a flashlight!"
She was only halfway through her sentence when she was covered by Ling Yao's stronger voice.
"But..." Hai Xiaomin frowned worriedly and wanted to argue.
Ling Yao interrupted her once again. "But what 'but'? No matter how difficult the road is, I don't want you to go. Anyway, I am going down the mountain. It is up to you whether you want it or not!"
Just like his coldness, it made Hai Xiaomin feel uncomfortable when she heard it, but it also touched her heart.
She could not think of any reason why he did not go down the mountain in the middle of the night. The only possible explanation was that she had a reason to rush back!
At this moment, she could not tell if she was thinking too highly of herself again. Perhaps it was just a coincidence that he also wanted to return to the ship.
As for that 'by the way', it just happened to prove that the road was difficult to walk on and he didn't want you to go!
"Lower the flashlight a little, don't put it beside my eyes..."
Hearing that, Hai Xiaomin lowered her flashlight a little.
In the dark forest, other than the stairs leading downwards under the light, it was pitch black all around.
Ling Yao carried her down the mountain. It was as if he had brought something along the way. It was just that he had changed the item to someone else.
It was easier to go down the mountain than to go up the mountain. However, there was a trip to the mountain that consumed physical strength first. Hai Xiaomin was not sure how good his feeling would be. She specifically asked him not to bring the crutches. Although it was a pity to throw away the things bought with money, it could at least reduce some of the burden.
The road down the mountain was also very long.
"Ling Yao." Hai Xiaomin leaned her head on the man's shoulder and called softly.
"Huh?"
She lightly laughed, "I feel that in the future, any woman who marries you will definitely be very happy!"
"Ling Yao was silent for a moment and said earnestly, "That may not be the case. It might be a disaster. That woman might regret marrying me."
"Are you kidding me?" Being able to marry Ling Yao was the dream of many women. Having a man who was almost perfect in every aspect as a husband was something that would wake one up from a dream. Who would regret who was sick?
"Hehe." Regarding this, Ling Yao only smiled.
After they went down the mountain, most of the lights in the town had been extinguished. When they reached the pier where they came from, most of the boatmen were already resting. Ling Yao had to pay a few times more to make a boatman living in the town agree to send them off this late at night.
It was already midnight when they returned to the Syah. There were still people who hadn't returned yet.
Ling Yao helped her to the door of the room. Hai Xiaomin was about to say thank you and say goodbye when she suddenly saw a man walking nervously in front of her room door.
Ling Yao noticed him before she did and stopped a few meters away.
"Yuexiang?" Hai Xiaomin was surprised. He was already so late. Was there anything he needed from her?
"Xiaomin! You're back!" When Wong Yuexiang saw her, the nervousness on his face disappeared without a trace. He put on a happy smile and walked up to her. He seemed to complain, but he clearly showed more concern, "It's so late and you still haven't come back. I called you but no one picked up. I thought something happened to you... This gentleman is?"
Only then did his attention land on Ling Yao.
"Oh, I accidentally twisted my ankle and lost my phone. It's all thanks to Mr. Ling that I came back." Hai Xiaomin timely pulled her arm out from Ling Yao's hand and stood up straight.
A trace of displeasure flashed across Ling Yao's deep eyes. Was it because she was afraid that he would misunderstand that she was in such a hurry to draw a clear relationship with him?
Hai Xiaomin was indeed afraid of causing a misunderstanding. On the ship, he was a distinguished guest with a prestigious status, and she was just a small waiter. She was not afraid that others would say that she clung to influential people, but she was afraid that it would affect his reputation.
Wong Yuexiang looked at Ling Yao and was slightly shocked. It was actually him!
"Oh, so that's how it is. I am really grateful to this mister!" He politely extended his hand, wanting to shake Ling Yao's hand.
Ling Yao, however, acted as if he did not see him. He just lightly swept his hand from head to toe, obviously disdaining to shake his hand. He coldly smiled. "No need. She has already thanked me."
It was not you who helped her back. What right did you have to thank her for her?
Wong Yuexiang smiled awkwardly and withdrew his hand.
Hai Xiaomin was a little surprised in her heart. What was up with Ling Yao? It seemed like he had something against Wong Yuexiang?
It seemed like they did not know each other, and there seemed to be some sort of conflict between them!
At this time, Ling Yao did not care about the irrelevant people and said to Hai Xiaomin, "Rest early."
In front of others, it was not convenient for her to ask him what was going on, so she could only reply, "Thank you for your hard work today. You should also rest early."
"Okay" He nodded his head, turned around and left.
Hai Xiaomin turned around and apologized to Wong Yuexiang. "Sorry, Yuexiang, he might be too tired..."
"It's okay. These people with status have their own tempers. I didn't take it to heart." Wong Yuexiang said with a smile.
His tone sounded generous, but it faintly revealed his hostility towards Ling Yao. His words seemed to separate the two of them from the so-called rich people, hinting that they were the same person.
Wong Yuexiang did not know Hai Xiaomin's past. If he knew her background, he definitely would not say this in front of her.
Fortunately, Hai Xiaomin did not care too much and just smiled and said: "I made you worry. I am fine. It's so late. You should go back and sleep too."
"Your feet..." Wong Yuexiang hesitated.
Hai Xiaomin lowered her head to look and reacted. She smiled and said, "I have seen a doctor. He is fine."0
"That's good." Wong Yuexiang heaved a sigh of relief. He said good night to Hai Xiaomin and went back to his room.
