Xia Ling sighed softly. In some situations, hate and love were intertwined.

Li Lei half knelt and held her hand beside the hospital bed. Looking at her with deep and quiet eyes, he asked, “Xiao Ling, do you think I was not vicious enough?”

She felt warmth in her heart as she shook her head.

She reached out and touched his soft short hair. “I just like it when you’re silly.”

This man she loved had principles and a bottom line. Even if he were provoked to the extreme, he would not do anything horrible or vicious. That was why she felt safe and could depend on him.

Thus, he smiled softly. “You’re the silly one.”

She touched his short hair again. “Yes. I was too silly, that’s why I fell for you.”

The two of them looked at each other gently and smiled.

Days spent on the cruise ship were as peaceful as water. Xia Ling laid on a luxurious and comfortable ward to recuperate. The room had floor-to-ceiling windows and the sea seemed to sparkle under the pale golden sun.

She recovered very quickly. She did not know what medicine the doctors prescribed her, but soon, she could get out of bed and walk by herself. While she was walking in half circles on the deck and wearing a loose robe, Xia Moyan found her. “I will go back to the mountains now. Are you really not coming with me?”

She looked up at her brother. “Please send my regards to mom and dad for me.”

Xia Moyan’s expression was unkind. It was said that married daughters were like water that was poured out. However, she was not even married yet. Why was she so insistent on being with that broken piece of wood?

It was time for him to teach that broken piece of wood a lesson…

Li Lei’s future brother-in-law had a worse impression of him now. Poor Li Lei!

Xia Moyan left by himself. Before he left, the owner of Blissful Paradise gave him the entire cruise ship as a gift. And in front of everyone, he gave it to Xia Ling without thinking twice.

Everyone was unable to remain calm anymore. What exactly was the relationship between this girl and Xia Moyan?

However, no matter how they asked, they couldn’t get a response from her.

This group of people started to take care of Xia Ling extremely well for the fear that they treated the girl that The Preceptor cherished too poorly at the start. This made Li Lei very at ease as he was able to spend most of his time with Shaohui.

This time, after being in Blissful Paradise, Shaohui witnessed too much darkness and was beaten cruelly by others. These left a deep scar in the child’s young mind and he did not dare to turn off the light every night when he went to bed. He usually screamed and was awoken by nightmares in the middle of the night.

However, he was a sensible child and did not tell this to Xia Ling.

He only pulled on the corner of Li Lei’s shirt and said, “Dad, I’m scared.” In his small mind, his mom had already withstood enough pain and was so weak that she could not bear any more burdens. As for his father, he was a strong and reliable man.

Li Lei gently comforted the child. Every night, he would remain by his child’s side and sleep with him.

Even in the day, he would play with him to distract him from the shadow of captive experience.
