Chapter 186: Tian Sheng’s Natural Enemy 2

However, out of respect for Uncle Liu’s reputation, the few police officers didn’t know how to handle Leng Xuan, especially Ning Xin’er, who had been scolded harshly by Director Huang for saying to Uncle Liu, "Whether his statement is recorded well or not, what’s it to you?" during the last time she helped Leng Xuan with his statement at the station. She had even shed tears from the scolding, which had been a very painful lesson. Although she had come to resent Leng Xuan for it, she still didn’t dare express her anger in front of Uncle Liu!

Nonetheless, although Ning Xin’er couldn’t say much openly, she glared fiercely at Leng Xuan. Coincidentally, Leng Xuan glanced this way unintentionally at that moment, and when their eyes met, Ning Xin’er pursed her lips and quickly looked away.

Leng Xuan was slightly puzzled. By this time, he had recognized Ning Xin’er and couldn’t believe that this girl was still holding a grudge over such a trivial matter from last time. With a wry smile, he didn’t take it to heart—after all, she was just a girl. What could she do to him?

After hearing Uncle Liu’s words, Ling Xuejiu also began to feel a sense of guilt. However, it seemed she and Leng Xuan were truly like a pair of natural enemies. From the first day they met until now, she always felt an inexplicable irritation whenever she saw Leng Xuan. If it was initially because of Leng Xuan’s bad image, now that was not the case anymore. As for what the real issue was, Ling Xuejiu couldn’t explain it clearly.

"Fine, then I’ll apologize to him." Ling Xuejiu remembered what Li Mengjie had said, "Treat him with more care, and perhaps his attitude will change." So she gathered her courage and faced Leng Xuan, saying, "Leng Xuan, I thank you for today’s incident!"

Actually, this girl had wanted to improve her relationship with Leng Xuan for a while, but the pride of a young lady had always been too strong for her to open up.

Startled for a moment, Leng Xuan was surprised to think that Miss Ling was apologizing to him reluctantly because of Uncle Liu’s presence. However, having Miss Ling personally thank him was already very precious, so he smiled slightly and said, "Protecting you is my duty. You don’t need to thank me."

Leng Xuan’s attitude couldn’t be better, but upon hearing his words, Ling Xuejiu felt an inexplicable sourness in her heart. Yes, everything he had done for her was merely part of his duty. If he were not her bodyguard, how could he possibly treat her like this?

With that thought, Ling Xuejiu turned away her gaze, no longer paying attention to Leng Xuan. At that moment, she realized that Leng Xuan and herself truly belonged to two different worlds. The small fantasies she had, unknown to others, seemed utterly laughable now.

"Mr. Liu, where do you plan to go? Shall we escort you?" Ning Xin’er looked at Uncle Liu. Although the kidnappers had fled, it didn’t rule out the possibility of them having accomplices.

"Then we’ll trouble you," Uncle Liu nodded to Ning Xin’er, then turned to Ling Xuejiu, "Miss, the Old Master must be quite worried at home, I will go back and inform him about the situation. You should go directly back to the Imperial Scenery Garden with Officer Ning and the others, and don’t go out to play anymore today! Also, don’t forget about tomorrow’s banquet."

"Yes, I know!" Ling Xuejiu replied absentmindedly, then turned to Ning Xin’er, "Escort is not needed, it’s quite a hassle, thank you for today, sister." In this moment, the young lady seemed to have changed a bit. Others might not have noticed, but Li Mengjie caught a glimpse of something and he was startled to hear her calling someone else sister—an odd and curious thing indeed.
