Chapter 124 Then I won't be polite.
Reading Settings
Ye Jingyan's words reminded Ye Boxuan and the other person.
Yes, why can't we accept things from our enemies? They're enemies, so why be polite?
Besides, the Qi family's vast fortune was divided up back then, and the Wei family rose to prominence thanks to the Qi family, which is why they have their current status.
I have to accept this!
Seeing that Ye Ling didn't answer, Wei Cheng couldn't help but reach out and grab her hand, placing the Heart of Fire in her palm.
The instant Ye Ling caught the Heart of Fire, the white fish in her mind quickly drew the Heart of Fire into her hand, and she clearly felt a warm current flowing from her palm into her mind.
When she entered her sea of consciousness with her divine sense, she found that the evil energy clinging to the white fish had disappeared, and the light emanating from the white fish was significantly stronger than before.
Ye Ling felt warm and comfortable all over, and wanted to sleep.
But the more this happened, the more conflicted she became.
This thing belongs to Wei Cheng, it belongs to his enemy. Can she accept it?
Just then, Ye Jingyan's voice rang in her mind: "Lingling, if it's the Heart of Fire, take it. These things are incredibly rare. Don't feel guilty. You can take what's his; you deserve it."
Ye Ling lowered her eyes and pursed her lips tightly. She knew exactly what Ye Jingyan meant.
But she was still struggling internally. On one hand, it was the treasure she needed most right now, and on the other hand, the giver was her enemy. Whether she accepted it or not, she felt uncomfortable.
"This thing..."
She gripped the Heart of Fire tightly, looked up at Wei Cheng: "Why do you think I would need this?"
Wei Cheng chuckled lightly: "It's my intuition. If you like, I'll send someone to find you a few more."
"intuition?"
Ye Ling took a step back and realized that he was still holding her wrist. Just as she was about to shake him off, Wei Cheng took the initiative to let go: "I'm sorry, I got too excited when I saw you and did something that crossed the line. Please don't be angry."
His attitude was so sincere that Ye Ling didn't even have a chance to get angry.
Ye Ling felt a lump in her throat, unable to breathe properly, and it was very uncomfortable.
Feeling the white fish absorbing more and more happily, even wanting to draw the Heart of Fire into her body, how could Ye Ling bear to refuse this hard-won treasure?
"Since you offered to give it to me, I won't be polite."
In the end, she said something that made her uneasy: she felt that accepting the Heart of Fire would be disrespectful to her parents.
If their spirits could see this, they would be heartbroken and disappointed in her.
Wei Cheng noticed her subtle emotions. He raised his hand to pat her head, but ultimately put it down: "Don't feel guilty. It's a waste to leave it here. I might throw it away someday."
"Ling...Yeling, are you leaving L City tomorrow?"
Ye Ling saw that he didn't answer.
Wei Cheng explained softly, "I don't have a specific destination in mind this time. If you don't mind, I'd like to travel with you. Don't worry, we'll take care of our own food, lodging, and transportation."
"No, I don't know you. You should leave."
Ye Ling turned and left.
Wei Cheng's appearance was unexpected, and his actions caught her off guard, which annoyed her. She wanted to kill him but couldn't bring herself to do it.
She didn't believe he didn't know her identity; his sudden attentiveness was definitely suspicious.
But he pretended to be stupid and didn't expose this veil to them. She and Ye Jingyan couldn't directly confront him in the short term either, since it was the beginning of the apocalypse and the Qi family's enemies were still around, and they also needed opportunities to grow.
Before revealing their identities, they need to secretly work hard to improve their strength, so that once they break off relations, they don't need to be afraid of anything.
Wei Cheng watched her open the door and get into the car, and then chuckled to himself as the car drove away.
She knew about their past relationship, and she also resented the Wei family. He had sensed murderous intent from her on several occasions.
But she refrained from making a move, which surprised him quite a bit.
He watched the car disappear and muttered to himself, "Silly Lingling, you're so kind, how can you get revenge? But it's okay, I'll help you. I won't let anyone who has hurt you get away with it."
He turned to his men, who were ten paces away, and said, "Send someone to follow them. We'll go back first."
"yes."
Since she doesn't want him to follow her for the time being, he can't follow her too closely, or she'll get annoyed.
Once on the helicopter, he looked down and sniffed the faint smell of tobacco on himself again. He asked the person in front of him, "Do I smell bad?"
"How could that be? You smell much better than those high-end perfumes."
"Really? But she doesn't like it."
Wei Cheng decided that he would quit smoking starting tonight.
The subordinate knew who she was referring to when he heard "she doesn't like it," and he mustered his courage to say, "But you only smoke one or two cigarettes a day, and you smoke high-end ones that aren't available on the market. You can't smell it unless you sniff it carefully."
Wei Cheng raised an eyebrow: "You mean, I have to sniff really hard to smell the tobacco on me?"
"Yes, young master."
The image of Ye Ling sitting on his lap flashed through Wei Cheng's mind, and the corners of his mouth gradually turned up.
She must have smelled his scent when she was sitting on his lap.
He carefully recalled the scene. When she couldn't see him clearly at first, she didn't show any disgust, nor did she say she disliked his aura.
She said that after she recognized him.
Later, when the two of them stood together and talked, she didn't continue to say that she hated his scent. So she didn't really hate his smell, but rather his identity as a person.
