Chapter 227: Chapter 232: With Me Here, Don’t Be Afraid (2)

"Even if speaking out won’t solve the problem, I still have to say something. I can’t just watch them slander me and do nothing!"

Ling Momo’s emotions were clearly out of control, anger, grievance, and pressure accumulating in the depths of her heart. She needed an outlet, which was crying, but she forcefully suppressed herself and refused to let the tears flow.

She stubbornly refused to let herself be weak.

"Even if the whole world doesn’t believe me, so what? I still have to speak!"

"And You Corporation, it wasn’t given to me by her. What right does she have to say those things so brazenly?!"

"Let go of me, let go!"

Li Qingshen, however, had been watching Ling Momo with calm eyes as she ranted furiously.

In the end, Ling Momo finally lost her strength, her face pale and her body trembling violently.

Only then did Li Qingshen slowly let go of her. In the depths of his eyes, there was a hint of pity. He stared deeply at her face for a moment before his expression turned indifferent. He lifted her and placed her on the couch nearby.

His movements were exceptionally gentle. Ling Momo slowly regained her senses, turned her head, and saw Li Qingshen’s aloof and handsome profile so close to her, so beautiful that she couldn’t bear to look directly. Unable to help it, she shivered, and the next second, she heard his uniquely gentle voice whispering, "If you want to cry, just cry."

His words were simple, just five words.

Plain and calm.

Yet instantly, they pierced through Ling Momo’s forcibly upheld heart.

Her tears suddenly surged from her dark, large eyes.

One by one, they fell onto Li Qingshen’s hand. Though just warm liquid, Li Qingshen felt they were scalding hot, burning his heart so intensely it seemed it could stop beating.

In that moment, all his pretenses and efforts collapsed.

Suddenly, he reached out and pulled the crying girl into his arms, pressing her head against his chest and gently stroking her long hair.

Li Qingshen’s rare tenderness made Ling Momo unable to hold back any longer, and she burst into tears.

She leaned against his chest, crying like a child, her small body trembling uncontrollably by the end.

Li Qingshen remained silent, just quietly holding her, feeling his shirt soaked through by her tears.

His heart, too, throbbed dully with pain...

At the base of the ES company building.

"Sister Chen, your car is arranged, and there’s still half an hour left, maybe you can still make it."

Chen Wanru’s assistant was reporting her next schedule while leading the way for her.

Chen Wanru was dressed in a black miniskirt, wearing sunglasses, with heavy makeup and blood-red lips, holding a golden clutch in her hand. She walked expressionlessly in high heels.

Passing by the ES company lobby, she inadvertently turned her head and saw the crowded area, taking an extra look. She then saw a familiar face appearing on the television there.
