Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO-Chapter 708 - Going Home

Chapter 708: Chapter 708: Going Home Chapter 708: Chapter 708: Going Home The four took a plane home, and Ling’er’s spirits were low all the way. When they had first boarded the plane, Lin Yuanyuan kept chatting with Li Xiaoyao, but later, Li Xiaoyao closed his eyes to rest.

Lin Yuanyuan, finding herself bored, noticed that Ling’er’s eyes kept wandering to Li Xiaoyao. Her eyes, bright and watery, combined with a strand of melancholy, looked pitiful.

“Little sister, what’s your name?” Lin Yuanyuan moved to sit next to her, smiling with an innocent face.

Ling’er, somewhat unable to look her in the eye, murmured, “Nangong Ling’er.”

Nangong Xuan, sitting beside them, pretended not to see and turned his head to put on headphones.

Li Xiaoyao’s eyelashes flickered slightly. He pretended to rest, but in reality, he noticed every move of everyone on the plane.

“Nangong Ling’er?” Lin Yuanyuan blinked. “It’s rare to have a compound surname, isn’t it? So, where are you from?”

...

“From the north.”

“I could tell,” Lin Yuanyuan said with a grin, introducing herself, “My name is Lin Yuanyuan, and I’m that damn servant’s girlfriend.”

“Girlfriend…” The light in Ling’er’s eyes dimmed a bit.

Lin Yuanyuan leaned closer to her ear, whispering, “Ling’er, do you like that damn servant?”

“Ah!” Ling’er’s earlobes turned red, and she waved her hands repeatedly, “No, no.”

Lin Yuanyuan had a look of someone who had seen it all before. This young girl was obviously naive, with little experience in the ways of the world. It was easy to draw out her secrets with just a few words.

“It’s okay to like him if you like him. Who made that damn servant so outstanding?” Lin Yuanyuan sighed, then advised in the tone of someone who had been there before, “Ling’er, let me give you some advice. While you’re not too deeply involved yet, better to leave him.”

“Sister Lin, I don’t like him,” Ling’er said, her voice so faint by the end it was almost inaudible, and she couldn’t even convince herself.

Lin Yuanyuan took her small hand and patted it gently, “Ling’er, it’s not that I won’t let you like him, it’s just that… hey, do you know how many women that damn servant has?”

“A lot?” Ling’er’s eyes flickered, genuinely curious about this.

“Let me count.” Lin Yuanyuan began counting on her fingers, while Li Xiaoyao, still with his eyes closed, couldn’t help but twitch at the corners of his mouth. That crazy woman never had a sane moment.

“There are seven including me,” Lin Yuanyuan finished, then turned to kick Li Xiaoyao, “Are there any others?”

Li Xiaoyao was completely speechless; who even asks that kind of question?

Seeing Li Xiaoyao not speaking, Lin Yuanyuan pouted and withdrew her gaze, saying, “There are seven that I know of, but there are definitely other women out there. That damn servant is too much of a flirt.”

Ling’er twisted her fingers, not sure how to respond.

Could she say that she didn’t care?

How could she not care? She too wanted to possess Li Xiaoyao’s love all to herself.

…

Tang Tiantian and the others fled the botanical garden overnight, not going far. They found themselves in a slum, all huddled together in one room.

In the military district of Lu Province, a man was sitting in front of Cheng Dongliang.

The man was in his forties, with short hair and an imposing aura of authority.

“Su San,” Cheng Dongliang asked with a frown, “What matter brings you here personally?”

Su San, the number one person in Lu Province.

“I owe Ling Tian a favor,” Su San suddenly said something enigmatic.

“Ling Tian?” Cheng Dongliang didn’t understand why Su San mentioned his name, “What does that have to do with your visit today?”

Nonchalantly, Su San said, “Li Xiaoyao is dead, and the Li Family will soon disappear from Xuan Country.”

Cheng Dongliang’s palm trembled slightly, he had heard some things about the Secret Realm.

But the information he received was limited to Li Xiaoyao’s disappearance within the Secret Realm. As for firsthand information and the latest news, his clearance was not high enough to obtain it.

“Ling Tian wants his woman,” Su San said.

Cheng Dongliang fell silent for a long time, and finally, lifting his gaze, he said firmly, “If you dare touch his people, you are making an enemy of me.”

Su San laughed, his smile somewhat unexpected, and said, “General Cheng, I hope you think carefully before you answer me. Offending Ling Tian for a dead man is not worth it.”

“If there’s nothing else, please leave.” Now that he had made up his mind, Cheng Dongliang would not regret it.

He had grown accustomed to the level of trouble Li Xiaoyao could cause; it was a test of his psychological endurance, but he had now seen through it.

Although Li Xiaoyao was prone to trouble, he certainly had the ability to resolve it. What he needed to do was to trust him, and that’s all.

“Old Cheng, this is the most misguided decision you have ever made.” Su San left without the slightest hesitation and headed straight for the botanical garden.

Since Cheng Dongliang was not cooperative, he would have to take matters into his own hands.

Upon breaking into the botanical garden, Su San was surprised to find that not a single one of Li Xiaoyao’s women was there.

“They ran away?” Su San frowned, having searched all the buildings, at last, in one living room, he found two corpses.

The blood on the bodies had coagulated, and they were cold to the touch, dead for some time.

…

Lin Yuanyuan and Ling’er chatted all the way, with every topic revolving around Li Xiaoyao.

Li Xiaoyao was annoyed beyond measure as he listened, with Lin Yuanyuan almost entirely bad-mouthing him, painting him as a philandering, rich good-for-nothing.

Lin Yuanyuan indeed hoped that Li Xiaoyao would stop flirting around. On the other hand, she didn’t want Ling’er to be deeply caught up in it either.

Being one of them, Lin Yuanyuan was all too familiar with that feeling.

Although nothing substantial had happened between her and Li Xiaoyao yet, both were well aware of it, and Lin Yuanyuan had accepted this reality.

At five in the afternoon, the plane landed at Ling City International Airport.

Li Xiaoyao stood outside the airport, looking up at the azure sky, his heart filled with a myriad of emotions.

He was finally back.

This time, he must ensure safety for those close to him, it absolutely could not be like this instance.

Indeed, had it not been for Li Xiaoyao arriving on time, Lin Yuanyuan would have met with misfortune.

He really couldn’t imagine there were people like Ling Tian in the world who didn’t follow the rules, actually laying hands on his women and relatives. Truly, the scum of the earth.

“Go to the botanical garden.” The four of them got into a taxi and headed straight for the botanical garden.

Lin Yuanyuan nudged Ling’er’s shoulder, “It’s just in time, later on, you can meet the other sisters.”

“Ah, I will see them?” Ling’er had not expected it to be so sudden, and upon hearing it, her heart fluttered in nervous excitement.

The car quickly arrived at the botanical garden, and upon disembarking, they beheld the lush greenery of the garden ahead.

“This Spiritual Energy is really intense,” Nangong Xuan took a deep breath, feeling the abnormally rich Spiritual Energy, and was profoundly shocked.

This was a second-tier city, yet it had such a botanical garden with incredibly dense Spiritual Energy.

“There’s definitely a Spirit Gathering Array set up here!” Nangong Xuan declared with certainty.

Li Xiaoyao, while walking, said, “Yeah, I set up a Spirit Gathering Array outside the botanical garden, and then placed many smaller Spirit Gathering Arrays inside.”
