Chapter 16

Time passed minute by minute in a futile struggle.

The lights that turned on and off, off and on again, seemed to flicker in a distant world.

Ling Chen didn't know what she was thinking; the only thing she was certain of was that she dared not imagine
life after the divorce. She couldn't imagine the impact and harm it would cause Xiao Xue. Not only because of the collapse of
the family , but also because without the constraints of marriage, she simply couldn't resist Liu Xin's slow but firm
approach.

Perhaps, everything started with Liu Xin, and everything could only be resolved by Liu Xin. Thinking of this, Ling
Chen suddenly felt an unusual joy, and her whole body immediately regained some strength, as if, in the accidental
flutter of her arms, she had luckily touched the key to unlocking the problem, the crux of the matter. This sudden joy
surprised and frightened Ling Chen. He dared not think further and quickly stood up, steadied himself, straightened
his clothes , and slowly made his way into the lobby.

Standing in the elevator was none other than Xiao Sen, who had just come up from the parking lot.

Ling Chen was stunned for a moment. Seeing Xiao Sen's beckoning with a puzzled look, he managed to compose himself, went inside,
checked his watch, and, finding it wasn't even midnight, asked with a forced smile, "Why are you back so early? Didn't you
plan anything?"

Xiao Sen didn't answer, but coldly countered, "Where did you go?"

Knowing Xiao Sen was always very sensitive to his whereabouts, Ling Chen quickly replied in as calm a voice as possible,
"Nowhere, just sat in the garden for a while."

Seeing the lingering doubt on Xiao Sen's face, he added, "You can ask
the security guard . He should remember when I came in. He saw me while patrolling the garden."

"Oh."

Xiao Sen pondered for a moment, his doubt finally beginning to dissipate. "What have you been thinking about for so long? You're not
plotting revenge, are you? Heh..."

Hearing Xiao Sen's nonchalant tone, Ling Chen knew she was unlikely to convince him, so she just gave a bitter smile.
Only after following him out of the elevator and reaching the door did she ask again, still unwilling to give up, "Do you think this revenge
shouldn't have been taken? There wouldn't have been much benefit in it?"

Xiao Sen paused, his hand holding the key to open the door, glanced back at her, and said nothing.

Ling Chen stood in the hallway for a while, quietly watching Xiao Sen walk to the coffee table, pour himself a glass of water, drink it,
sit down on the sofa, pick up the remote, turn on the TV, and turn the volume down, seemingly waiting for her to come over
. A wave of desolation involuntarily washed over her. The desolation welled up in her eyes, quickly condensing into tears, chilling her to the bone, forcing
her to turn and walk back to her room, collapsing onto the bed.

She didn't expect Xiao Sen to offer a strong shoulder or a broad chest, but she never
imagined that the pain of being without support and misunderstood could be so profound, so profound that she could hardly breathe.

In the darkness, tears quickly froze at the corners of her eyes, not even having time to fall.

Footsteps slowly drifted in. The light flickered on. "What's wrong?"

Xiao Sen asked.

Ling Chen looked at this strangely unfamiliar man, shook her head with a bitter smile, and replied, "Nothing, just tired.
You should go and rest too, we can talk tomorrow."

Xiao Sen responded indifferently, but still hesitated before walking over, sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at her for a while, then turning to look at
the door and asking, "Do you really want revenge that badly?"

Ling Chen's breathing became difficult again, and after struggling to compose herself for a long time, she still couldn't utter a single word.

Xiao Sen turned to look at her, and said thoughtfully, "More than twenty years have passed, how much hatred could there be?
During the Cultural Revolution, many people and many things were actually beyond their control. After all, the old man committed suicide,
so it's hard to say what the direct cause was. I think Luo Han is quite straightforward, and he might not be capable of doing anything
heinous..."

Seeing that Xiao Sen's explanations were nothing more than this, Ling Chen took a breath and interrupted him, saying, "There's no need to find so many
reasons, one reason is enough—you won't give up the benefits he can bring you."

Xiao Sen paused, his smile becoming somewhat awkward. "You can't say that. Interests are only one factor.
The key is that revenge needs to have a sufficient reason. I'm a lawyer, after all, and I can't do something like knowingly breaking the law.
Besides, we live in a society governed by the rule of law now. How else can you take revenge? Sue him? Do you have solid evidence?
Try to harm him with underhanded tactics? Do you have the means? Beat him up, cripple him, or even kill him? Do you have
the guts?"

Ling Chen couldn't help but sneer and retorted, "Fine, then I don't want revenge. I just want you to stop associating with him
and wait for Liu Xin to offer us other opportunities in the future. Can you agree to that?"

This time, Xiao Sen couldn't even manage an awkward smile. "Women are just women, all talk and no action. Why let
such a good opportunity slip
away to Lao Zhou because of something from twenty years ago? Besides, do you really think Liu Xin and Xiao Xue will last? With his wealth and status, what kind of woman can't he find?
What if he doesn't like Xiao Xue anymore? Where will we get a chance then? You'll regret
it ."

Ling Chen was too lazy to argue with Xiao Sen anymore. She forced herself to stand up, went to the door, and said coldly,
"Alright, alright, I know what you mean. I don't want to convince you. You can leave now, I'm going to sleep."

A few traces of annoyance flashed across Xiao Sen's face, but they gradually dissipated. "Okay, you get some rest. We'll talk again when you've
calmed down ."

After saying that, he looked at Ling Chen, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly walked away.

Ling Chen thought for a long time in the darkness, but still couldn't think of a way to convince Xiao Sen. She could only secretly place her hopes
on Lao Zhou and Liu Xin. If all else failed, she could even risk begging Liu Xin one last time.

One last time. Ling Chen murmured softly, yet she couldn't quite discern
the . Fear and worry were natural, for she didn't know if Liu Xin would give up,
if she herself would succumb to despair, or if the family she had worked so hard to maintain would
crumble into pieces. But beyond fear and worry, there was also a distinct sense of hope, a hint of joy.
Joy, and the desolation of never having another chance. If possible, she wished this last time could last forever,
never come.

A sudden surge of heat swept over her, quickly engulfing Ling Chen's body, forcing her to place her hands on
her chest and lower abdomen, kneading and massaging them with varying pressure and rhythm.

If she hadn't run into Luo Han today, she really wasn't confident she could maintain her composure and indifference in front of Liu Xin;
she might have done something incomprehensible. Ling Chen intermittently felt relieved,
carefully trying to control the surging heat.

Before long, all of Ling Chen's consciousness was submerged in the surging heat. Those
shameful and mind but also fueled
the heat, rapidly pushing it to its peak. In the dim light of the night, the few moans that escaped her throat and lips gradually
coalesced into a giant siphon, sucking up her soul and body together, then
scattering them high into the air, out the window, and into a dazzling array of diamond fragments, sparkling like stars.

Ling Chen sighed and closed her eyes, savoring the refreshing coolness and the satisfying ebb and flow, her anticipation
growing stronger. If it weren't for this anticipation, she probably wouldn't have reached her climax so easily today. For so many days,
these feelings had drifted to and fro as they pleased, never easily yielding to her efforts. Each time, Ling Chen
had to exhaust all her strength just to barely release them.

Perhaps, no matter the risk, it was worth it. Ling Chen thought wearily and resignedly, falling asleep fully clothed.

However, upon waking and seeing the bright sunshine outside the window, Ling Chen couldn't help but feel a little optimistic. It might not have been that risky
after all. Liu Xin still liked Xiao Xue, after all. As long as the pros and cons are explained clearly, he shouldn't
bother him anymore. The only problem is Xiao Sen. How can he get Liu Xin to guarantee him
a better ? What kind of position? When in the future? Is Xiao Sen willing to wait that long?

A light knock on the door slowly interrupted Ling Chen's thoughts, followed by Xiao Sen's indifferent greeting.
"Ling Chen, are you up?"

Ling Chen looked at his watch and found it was already ten o'clock in the morning. He quickly replied loudly, "I'm up. What's up
? Wait for me a moment."

"Nothing much. Luo Han asked me to take him around Shenzhen today. If it's inconvenient for you to go, that's fine. I'll leave now and
take Xiao Xue to her ballet class. She wants to eat out by herself for lunch. Is that okay?"

Ling Chen hesitated for a moment, knowing he couldn't stop him, and could only helplessly reply, "Sure. Okay, go
ahead."

Hearing the hurried footsteps and the clanging of the door closing, Ling Chen sat on the bed in a daze for a while before slowly
changing his clothes and going out to wash his face.

It seemed likely that Luo Han hadn't recognized her yet, and would most likely choose Xiao Sen.
So , was it possible for her to avoid him altogether? What if he came to visit? As
the hostess, could she maintain proper etiquette in front of him? Once he recognized her, what would
his behavior be? Would he pretend not to hear and continue supporting Xiao Sen, or would he, feeling guilty, sideline Xiao Sen, or even
make a fool of himself by mocking him until she had to reveal the truth?… Ling Chen splashed cold water on
her face, patted it a few times, calmed herself, and quickly came to an undeniable conclusion—letting them
continue like this would only postpone the crisis for a while.

The only one who could stop them was still Liu Xin. Thinking this, Ling Chen suddenly hesitated. It was
better not to rush things. After all, there was still the possibility that Luo Han hadn't recognized her but wouldn't choose Xiao Sen.
As long as Xiao Sen didn't blame her for his failure, even if he was angry, he probably wouldn't want a divorce.
Although the possibility was small, it was the only way for her to avoid the risks and stay away from Luo Han's threat, making it
worth waiting a few more days.

However, fate seemed impatient with her waiting. That evening, as soon as Xiao Sen returned, he excitedly
announced, "Secretary Luo has agreed to choose me as their legal counsel."

Ling Chen was stunned for a while, still unable to appear happy, and asked calmly, "Didn't he recognize me
?"

"No."

Xiao Sen glanced at her, then said smugly. "He probably had his suspicions too, and even asked if you
had lived . But after I firmly denied it, he didn't say anything. As long as we firmly deny it, even if
he sees you again in the future, it probably won't be a big problem."

Ling Chen's breath hitched, and she forced herself to calm down before asking, "When do you plan to invite him to our house?"

Xiao Sen was slightly surprised. "Didn't you say you didn't want to see him?"

"Just because I don't want to see him doesn't mean

I won't invite him." Xiao Sen paused, trying to sound gentle as he reassured her, "Don't worry, I won't invite him for now
. Anyway, he'll be staying in Shenzhen for a while, so it's not too late to invite him once you've calmed down. Things that happened during those
extraordinary times aren't such a big deal if you talk about them openly. A smile can make the past fade away. Hehe..."

Only after Xiao Sen finished speaking did Ling Chen finally suppress her increasingly frantic heartbeat and ask softly,
"He's going to stay in Shenzhen for a while? Why?"

"He's going to set up an office in Shenzhen in Henan, specifically to handle the listing process."

Ling Chen's heart pounded even more wildly. She really hadn't expected things to develop so quickly, so quickly that she didn't have
time to make one last attempt to persuade Xiao Sen. But what else could she do but try her best and leave the rest to fate
? As Ling Chen thought this, she couldn't help but plead, "Old Xiao, I'm begging you one more time, one last time. Can
you please give up this opportunity and stop having any contact with Luo Han?"

Xiao Sen was stunned for a moment, his voice becoming unusually sharp. "Are you crazy? You want me
to give , just because your old man's death might be related to him? If you don't want to see him, then don't. I'm not
forcing you. Surely hearing his name and knowing I've been in contact with him won't make you uncomfortable, will it? Do you have
that ?"

Seeing that Xiao Sen seemed to be starting to doubt his motives, Ling Chen didn't dare say anything more. He tried to control his
heartbeat and legs, slowly stood up, and slowly walked back to his room.

Since all his efforts had been ineffective, and all hope had been shattered, he could only go to Liu Xin.
Ling Chen finally managed to catch his breath and was shocked to find that only this one sentence remained in his mind. Surprised, he also
felt a wave of relief.

The next day, Ling Chen hesitated for almost two hours before finally making up his mind and dialing Liu Xin's number.

"Hello, who is this?"

Liu Xin's gentle voice came from afar, as if from another world.

Ling Chen stammered, unsure what to say, repeatedly muttering to himself: Why did I have to ask
to find out who it was? Couldn't he check the caller ID? He should have known my office number already…
After a moment of self-reproach, he suddenly realized this was clearly the mindset of a young lover, and his face flushed
, his heart pounded, and he became even more speechless.

Liu Xin's voice gradually became more urgent. "Who are you? Why aren't you speaking? How did you know this
number?"

Ling Chen didn't know whether he should hang up, and his hands began to tremble.

Everything suddenly became deathly silent.

He didn't know how much time had passed before Ling Chen managed to steady himself and was about to speak when Liu Xin's voice rang out again,
this time unusually gentle. "Is that Ling Chen? What's wrong? What happened?"

Ling Chen was delighted and immediately replied, "It's me, Mrs. Ling. It seems there was a problem with the phone just now;
you couldn't hear me." "

Is that so? Hehe..."

Liu Xin smiled understandingly and added, "Down with China Telecom! And China Mobile too, down with them all!"

Ling Chen didn't find it amusing, but she was infected by his laughter and a smile appeared on her face.
"If we down them all, there will be no phone service. That would delay so many of your big business deals."

"That's true. You're so thoughtful; you truly are my good Mrs. Ling."

Liu Xin praised her meaningfully, but then her tone became quiet as she asked... "Did you need something, Madam?"

Ling Chen paused, then answered softly, "I

have something I'd like to ask for your help with." "Madam, you're too kind. Just tell me what you need, why are you asking for help?"

"I wouldn't dare. Besides, this is a very important matter, and I won't blame you if you don't agree. But please
listen to me carefully first, okay?"

"Okay. Please go ahead!"

"As far as I know, Lao Xiao is very likely to replace Lao Zhou as the legal counsel for your new company, is that right
?"

"Oh, is that what it is? Hehe..."

Liu Xin's laughter sounded like official documents written in red ink. "It's not decided yet. Right now, we can only say that both of them
have a chance."

"But Secretary Luo has already agreed to choose Lao Xiao. Didn't you know?"

"His agreement alone might not be enough. He has his superiors in Henan."

"If Luo Han supports him, would Lao Xiao's chances be better?"

"Not necessarily. Many factors need to be considered, including his education, character, and so on."

Liu Xin casually brushed it off, then suddenly asked, "Did Professor Xiao ask you to try to persuade me?"

"No, no. What I want to ask of you is: please stop Lao Xiao from getting this position."

"Oh? Why?"

"Because I don't want to see Luo Han. And I don't want Lao Xiao to have any contact with him."

"What's so serious? Do you have a grudge against him?"

"Yes!"

Liu Xin pondered for a while before saying, "It's better to talk about this face to face. When are you
free ?"

Knowing that Liu Xin had ulterior motives, Ling Chen didn't feel much annoyance, but rather a little delighted. But she
still hardened her voice and replied, "Can't we talk on the phone? I've been busy the whole time."

"What about during work hours? I'll come pick you up."

"No. Xiao Sen calls me every one or two hours." "So

he's checking up on me so aggressively. Heh... then let's talk in your office. Is your office a private
room?"

Ling Chen couldn't insist anymore, nor did she want to, so she could only softly answer, "Yes."

After returning from dinner at home, she saw the Land Rover parked in front of the central building. Ling Chen felt a surge of warmth in her heart,
and her whole body began to tremble slightly. She had to sit down on the bench by the building entrance, catching her breath for a while before she
finally calmed herself down.

Fortunately, tomorrow was May Day, and her colleagues and senior staff were probably already on holiday.

What's coming will come eventually. She couldn't possibly sit here all afternoon. Thinking of this, Ling Chen stood up,
took a deep breath, and walked upstairs with her head held high.

Liu Xin was indeed standing at the office door, and when she saw her coming, a smug smile appeared on her face.

Ling Chen didn't want him to see her true colors, but she couldn't appear too cold either, so she asked with a forced smile,
"Why so early? Didn't we agree on four o'clock?"

"There's only the finalizing of the agreement details left. There's no point in me staying there, so I sneaked out to see you.
What? You're not welcoming me? Or do you have something else to do this afternoon?"

"No... nothing."

Ling Chen answered simply, her heart warming again. She quickly pushed open the door and went inside, letting the cool air from the air conditioner envelop
her , barely managing to maintain some composure.

Liu Xin walked to the sofa next to her and sat down, watching her move step by step behind the table. Suddenly, he asked, "How could you
have a grudge against Luo Han? What grudge?"

"He... he's my father's killer."

Ling Chen said hesitantly, feeling a strange sense of guilt, as if Liu Xin's deep and warm eyes
could see right into her heart, seeing through all her secrets and lies. What a powerful gaze that was!
Ling Chen secretly dug her nails into her palms, trying to control the trembling in her body.

Liu Xin paused, then asked, "Didn't Mr. Ling commit suicide?"

Ling Chen was somewhat surprised. "How did you know?"

"Xiao Xue told me. Hehe..."

Liu Xin chuckled, trying to cover her tracks, her gaze remaining fixed on Ling Chen's face, as if she would find the answer in an instant.

Ling Chen could only grit her teeth and turn her head to look behind the door, saying, "He committed suicide. But he forced him to."

"Really? Are you sure?"

The usually meaningful question, asked so calmly by Liu Xin in this way,
gave an unusually powerful, even more powerful, allure. In this overwhelming allure, Ling Chen gradually
lost her strength. The pain in her palms gradually subsided, and her chest was filled with helpless yet satisfied sighs.

Liu Xin's gaze was immediately filled with desire. Desire, following her gaze, recklessly slapped at her face,
as if to join forces with the surging blood to scald her entire body and soul.

The climax finally rose slowly amidst the trembling crowd, beginning to subtly test the waters with intense desire.

"I'm sure," Ling

Chen's voice was barely audible, more like a half-hearted moan.

Liu Xin slowly stood up, walked to her side, lifted the chair, and turned it towards her.

Ling Chen's soft cry was less of panic and more of shyness and joy. "You... what are you going to do?"

Liu Xin didn't answer, only leaning her body down little by little, her slightly heavy breathing gradually brushing against
Ling Chen's temples.

Soon, that demonic hand would send her up into the sky once more, to the clouds, to that incomparably beautiful
, peaceful, and joyful place. That place would be forever etched in her heart, for her
to remember again and again in her desolate loneliness. This would be the second time in her entire life, and also the last
. From then on, she would have no more expectations; all the roles she could play would be mother and wife,
and she could no longer appear before others as a woman. Ling Chen, lost in a daze, suddenly
asked inexplicably in a sorrowful voice, "Don't you like Xiaoxue a lot?"

Before the words were even finished, a wave of regret

washed over her. Liu Xin immediately stopped what she was doing, straightened her arms, and looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Ling Chen felt an even greater surge of sorrow and couldn't help but add, "I'm her mother."

As she finished speaking, her eyes welled up with tears.

Liu Xin was clearly annoyed, and although she tried to hide it, her voice remained much colder. "Then why did you
still want to see me?"

Ling Chen forced himself to compose himself and stammered, "I...I wanted to persuade you to agree to my request."

"To prevent Professor Xiao from getting that position? That's all?"

Ling Chen nodded, paused, and couldn't figure out whether Liu Xin's "that's all" referred to his
request or his purpose in seeing him. He simply shook his head and whispered, "Also, I hope you can
promise Xiao Sen a better position in the future."

"Why?"

"I'm afraid he'll see me as the reason for his failure,"

Ling Chen answered simply, watching the heat in his body gradually cool and recede, unable to find any
effective way to remedy the situation. He could only sigh inwardly, waiting and hoping that Liu Xin could do something to improve the atmosphere and
salvage the situation that was about to fall apart.

"So, the reason you agreed to see me today was entirely to do business with me, right?"

Liu Xin continued to press calmly, his deep eyes now only showing cold calculation, devoid of
any desire or warmth.

Ling Chen felt increasingly ashamed and remorseful. But she dared not nod, fearing that the regret and disappointment in her heart would mercilessly force out her
tears; she also dared not shake her head, fearing that Liu Xin would see through her secret and would not easily let go in the future.

"Alright. Let's do business then. Hehe..."

Liu Xin sneered, reaching out to pull her out of the chair, pulling her to the sofa, pushing her to sit down, and starting to unbutton
her clothes.

Feeling Liu Xin's unusual roughness, and thinking that everything might be irreversible, Ling Chen felt a mix of emotions, and
her passion cooled further. This shameless God actually wanted to prevent her from even enjoying one last moment of happiness.
Even if it was a false mutual affection, it was still better than a naked transaction. Was this last time, which she had longed for,
really going to end in pain? Thinking of this, the tears that had been accumulating for so long finally flowed like a spring, down
Ling Chen's cheeks, and onto the cold sofa.

To Ling Chen's surprise, after undressing her and loosening her underwear, Liu Xin's hands suddenly
became unusually gentle and delicate, even more so than the first time.

Was it pity for seeing her tears, or a renewed passion for her body
? Lost in Liu Xin's intoxicating caresses, Ling Chen gradually forgot to seek the answer. What
answer didn't matter? As long as the magic hands remained, as long as the passion surged again, as long as this final moment
ended in pleasure, why should she care why Liu Xin had changed so much? To fully
savor this once-in-a-lifetime happiness was enough!

Those practiced hands, with practiced ease, relentlessly dug into the deep furrows left from their previous encounter
, clearly trying to etch these indelible marks even deeper, until they were firmly imprinted
on her bones, even into her marrow. Even though it only lingered on her upper body, an endless stream of moaning desires was already
churning in Ling Chen's throat, turning her already heavy breathing into a series of low growls like a trapped beast.

Liu Xin looked up at the door, stopped what he was doing, looked at her triumphantly, and asked in a low voice, "
Shall we go to the hotel?"

Ling Chen nodded, her eyes blurry, then shook her head, "Old Xiao..."

Liu Xin stood up triumphantly and smiled, "It's alright. I've already asked Xiao Wang to invite him to the agreement negotiations
. And I'll prevent him from making any phone calls."

Discovering that Liu Xin had arranged everything so meticulously, Ling Chen was both surprised and delighted. Perhaps he
really loved her; otherwise, how could an old woman like her be worth him going to such lengths and making so
many sacrifices? Ling Chen thought to herself as she tried to sit up, but found her legs
and body still so weak and powerless, so she had to slump back down, panting heavily.

Liu Xin reached out and pulled her into his arms, gently patting her back, probably trying to
calm her down. "It's only a little past two, the negotiations won't end until at least six, there's plenty of time, don't worry.
Hehe ..."

But this laughter did nothing to help Ling Chen regain her strength; instead, it intensified her surging emotions.
Ling Chen even felt an involuntary, heart-wrenching longing—a longing for the world to disappear, for time
to stand still, for this warm, calm, and rock-solid embrace to forever envelop her, protect her, and
never leave her.

After what seemed like an eternity, Ling Chen reluctantly pushed Liu Xin away, barely managing to steady herself. She fastened her bra,
put on her clothes, glanced at him sideways, and hesitated before heading towards the door.

She wanted to ask Liu Xin if he had agreed to her conditions, but worried that it would ruin the atmosphere again
, so she forced herself to hold back, silently reassuring herself: Someone like Liu Xin wouldn't be so ungrateful and
renege on his promises.

As he walked out of the gate, he saw Liu Xin's car parked far away at the corner of the main road. Ling Chen steadied himself against the wall before walking over
step by step .

"What a fleeting journey this is!" Ling Chen thought regretfully as the Land Rover drew closer
.

Throughout the drive, Liu Xin focused intently on the road, remaining silent. Ling Chen, too, remained silent, silently savoring
the surging heat coursing through his body, a tingling and restless sensation that filled him with indescribable pleasure.
In the stillness and silence, these feelings not only refused to subside but actually
intensified . By the time the car stopped in front of a hotel, and after she got out, followed Liu Xin, took the keys,
entered the elevator, walked down the corridor, and into the room, these feelings were practically overflowing.

Gently closing and locking the door, Liu Xin turned to see Ling Chen standing by the bed, head bowed, as gentle and submissive as a bride on her wedding night. She felt a surge of warmth and excitement, like a thirsty
bride awaiting rain. She deliberately slowed her pace, wanting to see
what kind of alluring charm the usually dignified and elegant Ling Chen would display at this moment.

"Forty is like a tiger." Every woman has a side that's hard to resist; it's just a matter of whether you're willing to
explore guide it, and whether you know how to do so. Liu Xin thought smugly, tiptoeing over and
standing motionless in front of Ling Chen.

Ling Chen, too, remained motionless. After a while, Liu Xin noticed that she was secretly turning the back of her hand forward, clearly
glancing at her wristwatch from time to time.

Was she hoping time would pass quickly, or wishing the hands would slow down, even more slowly?
The more thought about it, the more intrigued she became, and couldn't help but softly call out, "Ling Chen," then paused, carefully observing her reaction.

Ling Chen trembled slightly twice, then suddenly stopped.

"Ling Chen,"

Liu Xin called again, feeling that her voice, besides being gentle and considerate, also contained a hint of desire and a touch
of seduction , and smiled with satisfaction.

Ling Chen's trembling indeed couldn't be contained, and it grew more and more intense, gradually turning into a swaying motion as if
intoxicated .

A creeping desire, like weeds, crept from his heart and lower abdomen, gradually eroding the smile on Liu Xin's face,
forcing him to raise his voice again and call out, "Ling Chen."

His swaying stopped abruptly, his body stiffening, about to fall backward.

Liu Xin quickly reached out and grabbed her cool, soft arms. Seeing her body still slowly sinking, he could only
lift her arms, pulling her slender waist into his embrace, holding her full, warm body against his chest.

Ling Chen groaned, a sound both surprised and delighted, burying her head in his shoulder.

A surge of immense joy rushed into Liu Xin's head, bringing waves of strange dizziness,
spinning spinning, as if it would throw him into the sky in the blink of an eye.

How long had it been since he had experienced this feeling? This intense, visceral surge of passion could never have
occurred when he was with Zhen Yan. Even with Xu Hui or Xiao Xue, it was mostly lust
and the pleasure of conquest, with rational calculations always present, impossible to completely escape. Yet, here
and now , facing Ling Chen, whom he had once conquered, facing Ling Chen who was now old and fading in beauty, he felt as if
he might lose himself at any moment, perhaps even willingly, abandoning all calculation and conquest, to hold her hand and
step into a beautiful new world of spiritual and physical union. It was something he had never wanted from any other woman.
After being ruthlessly deceived by An Zhao, he had long since given up on such a luxurious fantasy.

Thinking of this, Liu Xin suddenly felt a pang of fear. He wanted to throw Ling Chen onto the bed, but his hands, acting
on their own around her. After a while, he finally bent down to put her down, steadying her, and then slowly backed away, standing still.

Ling Chen's head drooped even lower.

Was it really necessary to seduce her like this? Liu Xin secretly regretted it, unsure of what
to . Ever since his disappointing return from the Xiao family, he had been pondering this question, but each time he
had only received a negative answer. Yes, since the evidence he obtained that time was enough to drive Xiao Sen to divorce her,
why bother trying to win Ling Chen's heart as well? Doing so might not make
his revenge, which alienated everyone, even more effective, nor would it significantly increase his chances of getting Xiao Xue to marry him. On the contrary, it might shake his
desire for revenge, confuse his motives, and make it even harder
for in the future, making it even more difficult to act and keep these secrets safe for long.

However, whenever he was with Ling Chen, even just during a phone call, Liu Xin couldn't help but yearn
for her. The day before yesterday, after seeing Ling Chen's cold and composed demeanor, he was even depressed for a long time,
forgetting to pay attention to the conversation between Xiao Sen and Luo Han several times.

Could he possibly have a mother complex? Liu Xin laughed self-deprecatingly, immediately denying the assumption. His mother, of average appearance
and education, was never his ideal type. Moreover, he harbored resentment towards her—resentment for
her strict, almost binding discipline from childhood and her cold, aloof existence. It was this resentment that
drove to gamble everything on coming to Shenzhen, despite his family's financial situation; and later, to
gamble everything on going to America, despite his father's advanced age. If he hadn't been fortunate enough to achieve some success, his mother would likely
have continued to criticize and belittle him, even knowing he could never return to the path she had laid out for him.

Perhaps it was all just a youthful infatuation at work, Liu Xin thought, finally feeling a little relieved.
As a mature and gentle woman, Ling Chen was indeed quite charming. But in many ways, she was still inferior to Xu
Hui and Xiao Xue. Even if the latter two could hardly understand and forgive him like Ling Chen, the purity and beauty of youth
had greater social value. Besides, with his patient help, they would surely mature in the future,
perhaps even surpassing Ling Chen!
