We Are Destined to Meet

28. Are You Insane

Translator: Iris Guo

I apologized to Ling Xiao, “Sorry. It was all my fault that you caught it.”

After a while, Ms. Liu was back with a contract in her hands. She turned to the last page directly and asked me to sign it.

“Huan, my son did the wrong thing. I wanna make it up to you. Your salary will be doubled!”

“No, you don’t have to!” I rejected her. It was my fault. If I took more salary, I would feel guilty.

However, Ms. Liu showed an unflinching attitude. She forced me to sign the contract. I was moved.

Putting away the contract, Ms. Liu held my hands and walked outside, “Hurry up! Let’s join the square dance!”

Ling Xiao was seldom at home. These days, I prepared some dishes he liked with Ms. Liu.

Ms. Liu was a chatty woman. She kept telling me what Ling Xiao liked to eat and what I should pay attention to at ordinary times. I felt strange.

Finally, when Ms. Liu began to tell me what brands he wore and his size, I interrupted her, “Ms. Liu, you don’t need to tell me these.”

I was a nanny, and the contract was about to terminate. Why should I know the details of Ling Xiao’s usual life?

Ms. Liu was inflexible. She held my hands and sincerely tried to persuade me, “Huan, I leave my son to you. Please take care of him…”

My head was spinning. I didn’t understand what she said and could only nod with confusion.

During these days, I changed my opinion of Ling Xiao.

Before others, he was the respectful Mr. Long who was irritable and malicious. Everyone was scared of him.

Before his mother, he was an obedient and devoted son.

He presented two extremely different personalities. If I didn’t see that with my own eyes, I wouldn’t believe that.

It was time for Ms. Liu to leave. My contract terminated on the same day. Gazing at the car in which Ms. Liu went to the airport, I wept out of the blue. I couldn’t hold my tears back any more.

Ling Xiao was shocked after seeing that Ms. Liu and I were reluctant to part with each other.

I also didn’t expect that I was so sentimental, but I couldn’t control myself.

Ling Xiao stared at me, “What’s your plan next?”

“I will leave here and go to Beijing for a vacation.” I thought for a while.

I had already booked a plane ticket. I was about to leave tomorrow.

“You’re gonna leave?” Hearing my words, Ling Xiao frowned. “Then who will make me breakfast?”

I was speechless. “I’m Ms. Liu’s nanny, not yours. Why should I prepare breakfast for you?” I rolled my eyes.

He nodded and handed a contract to me. I took a glimpse, “This is a three-year contract. Can you pay off the penalty?”

I fixed my eyes on my signature and the amount of penalty. I was dumbfounded.

It was like a bomb set off in my ears.

‘When did I sign a three-year contract with Ling Xiao? I don’t remember that!’

At the same time, my phone received a message which was from Ms. Liu.

She explained the contract to me and said that I was the only woman whom Ling Xiao didn’t dislike. She hoped that I could be with Ling Xiao forever.

I called her, but her phone was off. She might be on the plane.

Now, I was sure that I was set up by Ms. Liu.

I understood her difficulties. Her son was almost 30 and didn’t have a girlfriend. She was longing for a grandchild.

However, the fact that she set me up made me uncomfortable. I was a little upset.

Besides, Ling Xiao was Ling Mubai’s uncle. I had been Ling Mubai’s wife. If I was with Ling Xiao, it would be inappropriate.

Before I could respond, Ling Xiao put me into the car and drove away from Ms. Liu’s place.

I was so embarrassed, staring at him indifferently, “Ling Xiao, pull over.”

Ling Xiao looked ahead while driving carefully. He ignored me.

I didn’t know where he was heading, so I pushed open the door, “Ling Xiao, if you don’t stop the car, I will jump from here!”

Chill winds blew into the car, which made me shiver. I was cold.

Ling Xiao didn’t bother to glance at me. He accelerated. The car shot forward, while the wind slammed the door.

I heard a cracking sound.

Ling Xiao locked the door. I was unable to jump out of the car.

The fact that he ignored me irritated me. ‘I must get out of the car!’

I stretched my leg and slammed on the brakes. The immense inertia tightened the seat belt, which made my chest ache.

As for Ling Xiao, he was no better than me. His head almost hit the steering wheel.

We were suffering because of the huge impact force.

‘Humph, don’t play tricks. You won’t be the winner!’

I shook my head, trying to get my thoughts together. Unfastening the seat belt, I was about to step out of the car. However, before I took my step, Ling Xiao jerked my arm. I collapsed on his legs.

He glared at me. His dark eyes crept me out. I didn’t know what he would do next.

“Thrill? You like that?” He lowered his head and bit my lips. His tongue slid into my mouth and chased my tongue.
