C166 His Wings Were Getting Harder and Harder!
"I know." Ling Yao replied calmly.
It didn't matter if she had another purpose or his feelings.
As smart as he was, and as rational as he was, how could he not be clear?
Hai Xiaomin opened her mouth and did not know how to continue this topic. He said that he was clear, could it also be considered as an explanation to her?
Then, should she still remove the scar or not?
Hai Xiaomin became distressed. In the end, Ling Yao unexpectedly threw out another sentence. It was like lightning that fell from the ground, shocking her limbs and bones until numb electric currents flowed through them.
"Hai Xiaomin, come over and sleep tonight." He directly and openly invited her. His low and hoarse voice was like a cat's tail, tickling people's hearts.
"No!" Hai Xiaomin suppressed the throbbing in her heart and refused.
"Is there a problem?" Ling Yao raised his eyebrows and stretched his neck to look at her side profile. He only wanted her to change to another place to sleep. Why not?
"Of course!" Hai Xiaomin took a deep breath and gathered her confidence. "This is the ward, a place for recuperation!"
Ling Yao was puzzled. "What does this have to do with me hugging you and sleeping?"
... "But, purely sleeping?" Hai Xiaomin vaguely heard the main point.
The man's sexy thin lips curled up mischievously and said coldly: "What else do you think?"
Hai Xiaomin immediately closed her eyes in shame and wanted to find a hole to hide in. This meant that her thoughts were wrong?
That shouldn't be the case!
How could Big Boss Ling's thoughts be purer than hers?
Just as he was thinking, he saw Ling Yao sweep a glance at the hospital bed in disgust and calmly added, "Such a small bed, how can it be enough for us to perform!"
Hai Xiaomin,... ""
After Hai Xiaomin left, the smile on Ling Yao's lips, which was so beautiful that it could kill, gradually disappeared.
The temperature and pressure in the room also dropped.
He casually dialed a number. "Jess, come back immediately!"
Jess did not go far. There was basically no special mission. Wherever Ling Yao was, he would wander around. In less than five minutes, he returned to the ward and did not attract the attention of unrelated people.
He stayed in Ling Yao's ward for half a day and reported the matters that he had taken over these days. As for the other matters, Ling Yao could find out through other channels. He did not need to worry about them.
In the evening, Ling Yao opened a video call that was online at the same time.
Through the video projector, a few scenes with different backgrounds appeared in the ward. There were men and women in the images, mostly in the west. They were all in the middle and old age stage.
"Joe! Long time no see!"
"Child, you are still so handsome and charming!"
“...”
They met face to face. They looked at each other with a tacit understanding. First, they looked at Ling Yao without any change in expression. Then, they put on friendly smiles and greeted him in pure and fluent English.
Ling Yao, who appeared in the video, was wearing a patient's uniform. No one could tell how serious his injuries were. On the surface, he seemed to be fine. Even though he had taken off his usual cold and hard suit, he still had the domineering aura of an emperor. It made people sigh and subconsciously put away their underestimation of him.
"Let's skip the cliché greetings. My time is limited, so I'll get straight to the point." Ling Yao did not give these people any face. He sat on a palm colored leather sofa with his long legs crossed. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and leaned his upper body backwards. He swept the crowd with a cold and arrogant attitude. "I heard you guys are looking for me?"1
"Ha! I heard that something happened to you. Everyone was worried about you. Now that they see that you are fine and your complexion looks good, we are relieved." One of the bald and fat men laughed as he greeted her.
"Yes, yes, that's right..." The others echoed in agreement, and the atmosphere was rather harmonious.
The only woman in the video was also a Westerner. She looked to be in her fifties or sixties. Her golden hair was somewhat white, and it was neatly combed to the back of her head. The wrinkles on her face were very obvious. It could be seen that she was also a great beauty when she was young.
However, when she opened her mouth, her tone was not so appropriate. It was obvious that she was reprimanding him with the air of an elder. "Seriously, you secretly went to China by yourself and didn't even tell us about it. Why did you disappear after such a long time? What do you think you are talking about!?"
Ling Yao's cold gaze suddenly locked onto her in the video. Through the video, the woman could feel the sharpness that sent chills down everyone's spine.
"Why, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something wrong with what I said? As a shareholder of the company, shouldn't we have the right to know where you are going? " She felt a little guilty, but she absolutely couldn't let the other party see through her. Thus, she clenched her fists and pretended to be calm. She believed that the others present would also stand on her side.
"Yeah, qiao, have you ever thought that your decision this time would be too reckless? You left without even saying a word, causing us to look for people everywhere. Just like this time, if you really encountered an accident and couldn't return, what should we do?" Another person replied.
Ling Yao smiled coldly. "So, you sent people to China to secretly follow and investigate me?"
"This..." Everyone fell silent at the same time. Ling Yao didn't say anything either. They just waited. Someone had to explain to them.
"We are doing this for your own good. The main reason is that your trip to China is too secretive. It's still the same old saying, we need to know."
They kept saying that it was for his own good. They just wanted to monitor his every move so that they could control him. These greedy old things!
"According to what you said, for the interests of the company's shareholders, I need to send some people to secretly watch you. Humph, just like what you said, everyone needs to know." Ling Yao shrugged his shoulders and said in a silkpants manner.
... "" The people in the video all had embarrassed expressions on their faces. Obviously, no one wanted to be the target of being watched in the dark.
They could continue to argue with logic, but they first had to understand that it would not do them any good if they shed all pretenses. Before they thought of a better way, maintaining the current situation was their best choice.
"You want to know if I'm good or not? Now that you've seen it, you can temporarily put your happiness and regret back into your stomach. I'm very honored to let you worry about me, but I'm a little tired today. Let's talk about other things later, that's all." The camera on Ling Yao's side snapped.
...
The video call continued without the main character.
"Damn it, this son of the devil is as disgusting as ever!" The lady cursed in a harsh tone.
"Come on, Lina, calm down. It's not like his temper has lasted for a day or two. You're still arguing with him. Aren't you torturing yourself?" Someone advised.
"But now, his wings are getting harder and harder to control. Isn't that so? " The woman said angrily.
"Didn't we already know?" Someone shook his head with a bitter smile, as if he didn't care about it at all.
