Chapter 1457: If you want to betray
Translator: 549690339
Jing Xi thought about many things, but perhaps Lou Ziling’s arms were too warm, so she fell asleep without knowing.
The lights in the car shone on her smooth and flawless face, making her skin look soft and delicate, like the most beautiful white jade, intoxicating.
Lou Ziling looked at the girl in her arms. When did she become so beautiful?
Her hair was wet and stuck to her cheeks. Lou Ziling was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable, so she gently tucked her hair behind her ears.
She was still young, still a child. There was still a childishness in her exquisite eyes, and there was also a hint of willfulness.
However, it was because of her stubbornness and her carefreeness that she did not care about his indifference and his repeated rejections and estrangement.
Lou Ziling knew that any girl would not be able to stand his temper.
Even his mother and sister often couldn’t stand his reticence and often complained with a headache.
Lou Ziling closed her eyes and took a deep breath to clear away the strange emotions in the depths of her heart.
He wanted to let go of Jing Xi and get into the driver’s seat, but when he looked up, he saw six tall figures standing outside his car in the dark.
These were Jing Xi’s bodyguards, and it was not the two that Jing Xi had mentioned before!
Jing Xi must have been telling the truth. The extra four must have been bodyguards in the dark, but she did not know that.
Lou Ziling’s heart trembled. He knew that Jing Xi must have many masters around her!
Otherwise, Jing Yichen wouldn’t have left Jing Xi alone in the United States.
Jing Xi lived in Jing Yiran’s house, but Jing Yiran was not at home most of the time. Lou Ziling had accompanied Jing Xi in the United States for so long, but he had only seen Jing Yiran once. He did not know what he was busy with.
Lou Ziling felt that Jing Yiran must be working for Jing Yichen. He couldn’t travel around the world every day.
Yan Fan, who had been by Jing Xi’s side all year round, opened the door and sat in the driver’s seat.
He looked calm and nodded at Lou Ziling as usual. He smiled as a greeting, then started the car and drove to Jing Xi’s residence.
It was only when Lou Ziling lowered her head to look at Jing Xi that Yan Fan took a look at Lou Ziling through the rearview mirror.
He had received Jing Yichen’s order to increase the level of protection when Jing Xi was with Lou Ziling.
That was why there were six bodyguards tonight.
However, Yan Fan did not think that Lou Ziling would harm Jing Xi.
If Jing Yichen had seen how Lou Ziling held Jing Xi and how Lou Ziling looked at Jing Xi, he wouldn’t have been so worried.
Lou Ziling was cold and unsociable, but he also had a gentle side.
For example, he was afraid that the bumps in the car would wake Jing Xi up, so he had been holding her carefully, and his eyes never left Jing Xi’s face.
Back at Jing Xi’s residence, Lou Ziling carried Jing Xi out of the car and all the way to her bedroom.
He put Jing Xi on the bed and sat by the bed, watching her quietly.
The wind and rain outside became lighter. Lou Ziling stood up and walked out.
He couldn’t continue to stay by her side, or it would seriously affect his judgment.
Jing Xi opened her eyes slowly after Lou Ziling left.
She slept for a while, but when Lou Ziling carried her out of the car, she woke up.
As long as she wasn’t sick, her alertness wouldn’t be too bad. She still knew that someone was carrying her.
He had sent her back twice in one day, and Jing Xi’s heart felt much better.
She only realized today how important Lou Ziling was to her. He was so important that she would feel sad when he talked to other women.
Jing Xi could not sleep well the whole night. She kept dreaming until the sky was bright, and the sun came out. She finally got out of the dream and fell asleep.
When she woke up, it was already past ten in the morning.
Jing Xi immediately sat up and quickly got out of bed to wash up.
Her makeup artist and stylist were already waiting in the living room. Since she was going to attend the engagement party today, she had to dress up properly.
Fortunately, Jing Xi was already beautiful enough, and she was still young, so she didn’t need to put on much makeup. She only needed to touch up a little.
At 11:30, Jing Xi was ready to go out.
She was wearing a beautiful and festive peach-colored long dress. When she opened the door and saw the person standing outside, she was momentarily stunned. Then, she cheered and pounced on him.”Father, why are you here? I miss you so much!”
Jing Yichen patted his daughter’s back.”Little liar, I’m afraid you’re thinking of someone else!”
Jing Xi knew that he was referring to Lou Ziling. She snorted and let go of Jing Yichen.”I miss my mother, she loves me the most!”
Jing Xi had not hugged Jing Yichen ever since she had grown up. She was so surprised and happy that she had jumped into his arms. She understood the difference between men and women. Although she would chase after handsome men with great interest, she would never have physical contact with the opposite sex.
Of course, Lou Ziling was an exception.
Jing Yichen was not used to being close to his daughter who had grown up. He smiled and said,”Your mom hasn’t been feeling well these past two days, so I didn’t ask her to come. When I go back this time, you should come home and stay for a few days. She’ll get better faster when she sees you all happy and cheerful.”
“What’s wrong with mom?”Jing Xi asked nervously. Was he sick? Wasn’t she still fine when I video-called her two days ago?”
“It’s nothing. I just caught a cold and have a slight fever. ”
“Aiya, mom is sick. You should be at home taking care of her!”
“I thought so too,” Jing Yichen said helplessly,”but she knew about Lou Ziling and she was afraid that you would be sad, so she ordered me to back you up.” My wife’s life is difficult to handle, so I can only come!”
Jing Xi shook her head.”I was wondering why you suddenly came to the United States I was eating tree bark and drinking rain on the island, but I didn’t see you. I’m living like a god now, and you’re here!”
Jing Yichen got into the car with Jing Xi. He looked calm and didn’t give any explanation. He just let his daughter complain.
Of course, he had already made sufficient preparations for his daughter’s safety before he let go.
Shangguan ning alone was enough to keep Jing Xi company. He didn’t need to worry about his daughter’s life anymore.
To him, taking care of his wife was still the most important thing.
If Shangguan ning hadn’t insisted that he come, he wouldn’t have left Shangguan ning to come to the United States.
Jing Yichen was relieved to see that Jing Xi was still as energetic and cheerful as before, as if she had not been the one who was sad last night.
He instructed the chauffeur to drive to the Luo family’s residence.
He wanted to support his daughter openly and let the Lou family and Lou Ziling know how powerful Jing Xi was.
If he betrayed them, the price would be too heavy for the Lou family to bear!
