BXBX NOVEL Chapter 146 I will protect you
"I will not leave. I am a Xia and I do not run away from my problems, especially now that I am Lu Yifeng’s wife." She firmly said.
She wiped off her tears. She straightened her back and this time, she looked calm and composed. "You’re saying that my husband cannot protect me? It seems like your faith in my husband is weak, I do not blame you for that, he’s not your husband, he’s mine. You may not trust him but I trust Lu Yifeng. If he says that he will protect me, then he will. If no one will be there to protect him then I will protect him myself. We’re married, it’s only normal to have each other’s backs. As for whether Yong Biqi is my real mother or not, my grandparents will tell me that."
"Xiao Mei, don’t be stubborn. You’re only putting yourself and others in danger."
"I’m not being stubborn, Feng Ning. I am thankful that you have given me a heads up and because of that, I will be able to prepare myself for her arrival. You said that Yong Biqi is with your parents, right? What is their relationship with each other? Why are they keeping a psychopath like her?"
Feng Ning lowered his head in shame when she asked him this question. "It’s because... my parents helped her kill your parents... My mother and Yong Biqi are close friends, while, father is... being used as a pawn by them. My father has became so blinded by them."
Xia Meilin clenched her fists tight, wasn’t Wang Min and Yong Sining bestfriends? Why would Wang Min betray her mother for Yong Biqi?
"I just recently learned about this. I’m sorry, Xiao Mei." His parents betrayed hers and Feng Ning couldn’t help but feel ashamed of this. He was good friends with Xia Sinian and Xia Meilin, he was also close to the Xia elders, in the end, this was only because he was being used by his own mother as her eyes and ears whenever he enters the Xia family.
What kind of parents were they? They were willing to use their own son for the sake of revenge. Feng Ning wasn’t going to allow them to destroy the real people who cared for him; the Xia family. Xia Sinian treated him like a brother while the Xia elders treated him like their own grandson so why will he betray them?
"I want to help you." Even if he has to go against his parents, it was alright for him since... they never cared for him. What they only cared about are money, wealth, their reputation and faces. Because of these, Yong Biqi was able to manipulate them so easily. "I will be your ears and eyes. I will do my best to help you."
Xia Meilin’s eyes softened when she heard his words. She held his face with both hands and smiled. "Thank you, Ning-ge. I’m sorry if I cannot accept your feelings... it’s just wrong."
He chuckled a bit. "I know... You’re a married woman."
Xia Meilin nodded. "I hope that we can still be friends... I hope that someday, we can go back to the days where I can be a little sister in your eyes."
"That will... take a really long time." Feng Ning lowered his head. He doesn’t know if that day will really come.
"Then you better start going to blind dates." Xia Meilin said in a joking manner.
Feng Ning laughed lightly at what she said. He looked at her and smiled. In a blink of an eye, he leaned and kissed her by her lips.
Xia Meilin’s eyes went wide in surprise. Before she can push him away, Feng Ning already pulled back. He stood up and started walking out of the living room.
"I will protect you."
Xia Meilin placed her finger on her lips, what he did was so unexpected. How can he just kiss her like that?
She stood up and went out of the living room. By the time she went out of the house, Feng Ning’s red Lamborghini left the Xia manor.
Xia Meilin sighed heavily. It was a good thing that Lu Yifeng wasn’t there. She couldn’t imagine what her jealous husband could do.
For now, she needs to take care of something. She needs to know the truth from her grandparents. That’s why she entered the house and went to her grandfather’s study. The best person to ask of this is Xia Jiamu. If it was Ji Ruo, she might not tell her the whole truth because she can feel that this will be a sensitive topic for her grandmother.
