CEO is Picky but Handsome - Chapter 56

“I’ve got a helicopter on the outskirts of town. We’ll be there in ten minutes. As long as we get on the helicopter, we will be safe.”

Rong Sheng stepped on the gas pedal and the car sped forward at a high speed of 180 kilometers. The good performance of the car was obvious at this time, even if the scenery outside the window was flying backward slightly, the people inside the car did not feel the impact of high speed.

Rong Sheng glanced at the rearview mirror – Huo Zhun followed very closely, even if Rong Sheng repeatedly speed up, Huo Zhun and his fleet of vehicles are also tightly behind. The first car at the head was Huo Zhun’s car. The extent of his following was simply biting Rong Sheng’s front.

Retracting his eyes contemptuously, Rong Sheng turned his head and looked at Ling’s side face.

From the moment he got into the car, Ling never said a word. His expression was very calm, but the more calm he was, the more uneasy Rong Sheng was. He was more afraid of Ling’s silent intelligence than he was of Huo Jun.

“Ningning, I’m talking to you, do you hear me?”

Rong Sheng reached out and grabbed Ling’s wrist, pulling him towards him. Ling’s face revealed a slight color of pain, yet it was more like Rong Sheng’s illusion, fleeting.

“I heard you.” Ling said.

Rong Sheng smiled and moved his fingers up to stroke Ling’s cheek. He liked it when Ling was this supple, it would make him think of the days when he was a child, when the two of them relied on each other for their lives, when Ning snuggled up in his arms and called out to him as Brother Sheng.

Brother Sheng ……

Ning hadn’t called him that for a long time.

“Rong Sheng,” Ling was forced to lean towards Rong Sheng, enduring the thumb that made him sick to his stomach as it gently pressed his cheek, “In fact, Rui Rui is safe now, right?”

Rong Sheng’s fingers lurched.

“Huo Jun went to rescue the child, and he can’t possibly come back without the child being rescued.” Ling Dao, “I understood what you guys just said. The child is safe and sound now, so you’re using me as a talisman.”

“You guessed half right.” Rong Sheng’s fingers snaked down, pressing against Ling’s collarbone as if it was unintentional, “I didn’t kidnap Rui Rui at all, my target has always only been you.”

“It’s good that you didn’t kidnap Rui Rui,” Ling closed her eyes, “That way, I can hate you a little less.”

Rong Sheng flinched, subconsciously drawing his hand, but it was too late. Ling struck like electricity, violently grabbing Rong Sheng’s arm by the five fingers and twisting it against the direction of the joints. The joints made a horrifying clicking sound, Rong Sheng was in pain, and made a clever maneuver to get his wrist out of Ling’s palm, and the other hand became a fist, which smashed directly into Ling’s cheekbone. Ling desperately took this punch, and while Rong Sheng’s hands were out of control of the steering wheel, he directly probed to turn the direction.

The car twisted into an S-shape on the small road in the outskirts of the city, and the right side of the wheel was directly bumped out of the short rocks on the side of the road and crushed onto the sandy road surface. The road was slightly higher ground, rising above the flatlands, and passed directly through several villages. At each section, it passes through a small river channel. Half of the car on the concrete road, half on the sandy road bumps, the whole body is already shaky. Seeing that the front is another section of the river canal, if it falls into the water, the consequences of this cold winter weather are unimaginable.

Huo Zhun followed closely, see this scene only feel anxious, immediately a foot throttle to the end, directly overtaking to Rong Sheng car side. Rong Sheng car windows attached to the dark stickers, dark sky and darkness can not see what is happening inside, but he knows, must be Ling in the chaos, so that he can wait for the opportunity to save people.

He urgently accelerated, not hesitating to use himself as a roadblock, stopping the speeding vehicle. But with a slight movement of his mind, Rong Sheng accelerated at the same time as if he knew what he was thinking. The two cars are chasing each other like a race on the narrow road, Huo Jun has no way to make the car stop, and Rong Sheng is more like a gambler at the end of his rope, with his heart set on bringing both himself and Ling to their deaths.

“Boom–”

The chase didn’t last long, and as the body lost its balance after a huge bump, the car lurched and tumbled into the frozen ditch. The ice had been punched through a hole by the huge body, which sank rapidly as soon as it was inside. There was still a little air left in the car as it went wildly into the water. Ling’s first reaction was to look for a suitable tool to break open the windows of the car, allowing the two to escape. But just as his body moved, he was tightly embraced.

Rong Sheng did not want to go out, and he did not want Ling to go out either.

The current quickly submerged the two, Ling pushed back Rong Sheng’s confinement, the air in his chest was pressed by him more and more less and less. During those days of hiding, he had also thought about his own end. At that time, he was pessimistic to the extreme, and had fantasized about his own death countless times, but there was never an image of two people embracing each other like this, dying under the dark, cold water.

“Sheng brother ……”

In desperation, Ling subconsciously shouted Rong Sheng’s name. The ubiquitous icy water quickly poured into his throat, clogging his organ throat as if it was in every corner of his body. He gradually lost consciousness, and his entire body went limp in Rong Sheng’s arms.

In a trance, he felt the arm that had been blocking his spine loosen, and the last thing he remembered was someone kissing his lips and ferrying oxygen into him ……

” Ling, Ling!”

Huo Zhun pressed hard on Ling’s chest, repeatedly leaning down to do artificial respiration for him. The moment the car tumbled into the water, he also jumped into the cold river canal. The water was cold and dark, and he could only rely on the direction of the current and his pure intuition to judge Ling’s direction. The car quickly sinks to the bottom, and Huo Jun dives all the way down after it, and almost simultaneously, detects the direction of the car. The windows of the car were sealed, and both the inside and outside were surrounded by the current. He can’t pull open the door, so he picks up a boulder under the water and smashes through the window glass with a few strokes.

Ling’s body floated out, limp and obviously in a coma. Huo Zhun’s heart loosened and then tightened, covering his mouth and nose, stepping on the water to float. When the two surfaced together, they were already frozen through, their hair slightly frozen.

Ling’s breathing has stopped, but there is still a trace of heat in his chest. Huo Jun lays him flat on the ground and keeps pressing on his chest. As soon as the cold water sees the low temperature, it quickly forms a sheet of frost on his body, taking away the heat from his body. However, he concentrates and just keeps repeating his movements, as if there is nothing more important in the world than waking Ling up.

“Cough…… cough…… cough……”

several violent coughs, and a large amount of water gushes out from the side of Ling’s mouth. Huo Zhun withdrew his hand in a daze, staring at the person in front of him for an instant.

He finally came ……

back from the dead, Huo Zhun wanted to let out a cheer, but opened his mouth, all the sound, all changed to a choking.

Ling opened his eyes, and the first thing that caught his eye was Huo Jun’s tearful eyes.

He always felt that this man was omnipotent and powerful as if he could hold up the sky. He never imagined that this man would still have tears in his eyes, as helpless as a child.

He couldn’t help but reach out his hand, wanting very much to wipe away the tears at the corners of his eyes for Huo Jun: “Huo ……”

” Ling ……”

There is no need to say anything else, Huo Jun tightly embraced him.

After being seriously injured and falling into the water, Ling’s body was already extremely weak. Huo Jun wanted to take him back to the car, but he hesitated again and again.

Huo Jun knew what he was worried about, Rong Sheng also fell into the water with him, Ling was rescued by himself, but Rong Sheng’s life and death are still unknown.

“I’ve already told my bodyguards to go down to the water to search, and I’ve also arranged manpower on both sides of the river canal, so once they find it, they’ll report to me immediately.” Huo Jun drapes a thick blanket over Ling’s body and softly says, “Let’s go back first, your face looks bad now, you need to hurry back to the hospital.”

“Uh-huh.” Ling sweeps a glance at the bodyguards in the distance, knowing that even if she spends her time here, she may not be able to be of any substantial help, so she agrees to Huo Jun.

The two of them walk towards the direction of the road with each other, and just the moment they step out of the circle of bodyguards’ escort, behind them, the sound of gunfire is loud!

Bullets wrapped in the bone-chilling wind shot towards the two!

Most of the bodyguards are gathered by the river, so it’s obviously too late for them to arrive. In the nick of time, Huo Jun turns around and protects Ling under his body. The bullet grazes his ribs and sinks into the earth with a thud.

“Huo Jun!” Ling rushes over to help him, Huo Jun shouts “get down” and pulls up the blanket, covering both of them. Bullets rain down on them, but perhaps with the blanket covering them, the other side can’t tell who’s who, and none of the bullets hit them.

After a round of strafing, the magazine was empty, and the riverbank was silent.

“Is it Rong Sheng?” The bullets were fired from a forest of dead trees, so it wasn’t clear who the shooter was. However, it was extremely close to the river canal, so if Rong Sheng had escaped from under the water, his preferred hiding place would have been there. Therefore, Ling asked this way.

“Yes.” Huo Zhun was shot in the ribs, a superficial wound, but he bled a lot. He didn’t want to tell Ling that he was worried, so he laughed and said, “The bodyguards should have been alarmed and are on their way here, so don’t try to be brave and stay amongst them, and when I come back, I’ll take you to the hospital.”

Ling is stunned, and before she has time to agree, she sees Huo Zhun leap up and run wildly in the direction where the bullets came from. Ling subconsciously goes to chase after him, but his limbs are so sore and weak that he actually sits back down.

At this moment, the bodyguards have already surrounded him. Ling borrowed a bodyguard’s strength to get up, and the bodyguard, seeing his pale lips and face, wanted to take him back to the car, but Ling opened his hand.

“Leave me alone! Go help Mr. Huo!”

Huo Jun’s side naturally has bodyguards to help, but Rong Sheng is extremely difficult to deal with. Ling kept listening to the sound of gunshots coming from the woods in the distance, and his heart felt like it was being clutched tightly by someone, so he couldn’t even jump.

No one is more aware of Rong Sheng’s ability to fight alone than he is, in the days of grabbing control of the Rong Clan, Rong Sheng, who is only in his early twenties, has gone in and out of his opponent’s mansion several times single-handedly, and with one man and one gun, he has firmly suppressed the other party under the force of arms. Now Rong Sheng is in his prime, and his many years in charge of the Rong Clan have made him even more powerful. Ling doesn’t know how many cards Huo Jun has, but the sound of gunfire makes him feel relieved.

However, he called his bodyguards to help, but they refused to move. Huo Zhun gave the order that this team of bodyguards would be responsible for Ling’s safety, and that they would not leave Ling’s side even if a knife fell from the sky. Ling’s words fell on deaf ears and they repeatedly persuaded Ling to go back to the car. In desperation, Ling snatched the gun from the waist of his bodyguard and ran into the distance.

In the woods, the battle ended.

In terms of single combat, compared to President Huo, who grew up in the slums, and Mr. Rong, who came from a wealthy family and followed senior martial arts masters to learn boxing, it’s hard to tell who’s better. However, Huo Zhun’s side has many people, and with the strategy of a sea of people, he still managed to force Rong Sheng back to a corner of the grove. Rong Sheng used the same trick that he used to counter him on the island himself, i.e., grabbing the gun from the other side, but Huo Zhun’s men are not fools, and after realizing this, they collectively stopped venturing forward and instead surrounded themselves cautiously.

As the wind whistled, Huo Zhun looked in the direction Rong Sheng was hiding in and couldn’t help but feel suspicious.

With Rong Sheng’s selfishness, lucky to escape from the water, should also be the first time to escape back to the roadside, grab a car and go straight to the airport is right, how will it go against the norm, seize the gun and kill people? What is he planning?

“Mr. Rong, I don’t want your life, let’s have a discussion between the two of us.” Facing the dark woods, Huo Zhun said in a loud voice, “If you surrender your weapon, I’ll guarantee that you’ll be able to return to Country F safely. As long as you don’t make an enemy of me in the future, we’ll cancel all previous accounts.”

There was no response from the other end of the forest, only the sound of the wind hunting. After a long, long time of waiting, Huo Zhun suddenly hears an inquiry from there, “Can you really guarantee that I can safely return to Country F?”

“No problem.” Huo Jun said, “I, Huo Jun, can still do this.”

“Ning is right outside, if you lie ……”

“I won’t lie in front of Ling.” Huo Zhun said, “And he didn’t want to take your life.”

Once again, there was no response from there. After a long time, only a gun-wielding figure slowly walked out of the darkness.

“Mr. Huo, I don’t trust anyone else.” Rong Sheng said, “I want you and Ning to personally escort me to the airport.”

“I can, Ling can’t.” General Manager Huo said flatly.

Although Huo Jun only half agreed, Rong Sheng thought about it and agreed.

He backhandedly threw his gun in front of him and walked slowly towards Huo Jun with both hands raised. Seeing this, a bodyguard beside Huo Jun walked forward to pick up the pistol that Rong Sheng had thrown on the ground.

Who knows that he just approached, and was kicked over by Rong Sheng, and then imprisoned in front of his chest. It turned out that he threw on the ground that inside has long been out of bullets, the so-called surrender, but he is to seize the gun to make the blindfold.

The moment the bodyguard moved, Huo Zhun has guessed that he wants to play fraud, but then to stop the bodyguard has been too late, in a hurry, had to call the other bodyguards out to resist, while stepping out, grab body to save. Although Huo Zhun and Rong Sheng are both bosses, they are very different. Rong Sheng takes the bodyguards as pawns as things, and uses them to block the gun at critical moments, but Huo Jun can’t stand by and watch any one of them die in front of him for nothing.

Two people want to kill a person, a person to save people, only to hear the sound of gunfire chaos, but no one took advantage of anyone. In the midst of the chaos, Rong Sheng even used his bodyguard as a meat shield to fend off bullets for himself! Huo Zhun was furious, directly grabbed a step forward and pushed the bodyguard behind him. The rest of the bodyguards, seeing their boss as the first to take the lead, swarmed up to him, and Huo Zhun’s push just pushed him into the center of the other bodyguards. Instantly, someone helped him away, and the rest continued to move forward.

In this flash of lightning, Rong Sheng’s hand, which had been hidden behind the bodyguards, suddenly had another cold short gun.

Rong Sheng had actually hidden such a killing move!

“Huo Jun,” the pitch-black muzzle of the gun was just a step away from Huo Jun’s brow, Rong Sheng’s thumb moved slightly, the barrel of the gun was loaded, “You say, who wants who’s life now?”

The enemy sank into the water, Huo Jun did not take advantage of the opportunity to take his life, but also organized bodyguards to search under the water. The moment Rong Sheng climbed out of the water he concluded that Huo Jun was a womanizer.

Yes, in his eyes, all the goodness of humanity is a woman’s benevolence, which is not enough to accomplish anything, but more than enough to fail.

With Rong Sheng’s logic, he simply could not understand Huo Jun’s behavior, but he could take advantage of it. He concluded that if he used his bodyguard as a shield in front of Huo Zhun, with Huo Zhun’s temperament, his first reaction would definitely be to come to the rescue himself.

With the boss being held at gunpoint, the bodyguards threw in the towel and didn’t dare to move again. A pair of eyes stared at Huo Jun, hoping that he would give some instructions, however, after waiting for a long time, they only saw Huo Jun shrug his shoulders and slowly laugh.

This laughter was only from the throat, but with Huo Zhun’s laughter getting louder and louder, it was like pulling the five organs and six bowels, and it was chilling to the ears.Rong Sheng narrowed his eyes suspiciously, and then he heard Huo Zhun say in a deep voice:

“You win, you can take my life.”

“You think I don’t dare to take your life?!” Rong Sheng’s cheeks trembled, he didn’t know why, when this man was dying, he could still be so unafraid and even let out a laugh.

“No, you dare.” Huo Zhun raised his head, an unimpressed smile spreading across his lips, “Rong Sheng, you shoot.”

Rong Sheng tightly gripped the handle of his gun.

Of course he was going to shoot, he was not only going to shoot to kill Huo Jun, he was also going to shoot to kill everyone here! He was going to take back Ning, he was going to take Ning back to Country F, make a comeback, annex Phoenix Group, and become the economic hegemon of Country F and Country N!

How could he not dare to shoot!

With this one shot, everything he had hoped for would be there!

But the muzzle of the gun trembled, his knuckles stiffened, Rong Sheng gritted his teeth and stared at Huo Zhun, but he couldn’t pull the trigger.

He has killed many people, he has seen the misery of many people begging him before dying, he has never been soft, he has long been used to the look of his own sovereignty in front of death. But today, for the first time, he encountered someone who was not afraid of death.

Rong Sheng was horrified to realize that in the face of Huo Jun’s calm urging, he was unable to pull the trigger.

Why? On what grounds!

Rong Sheng was infuriated by this momentary hesitation, and with his heart in his mouth, his index finger slightly hooked-

“Stop!”

A bullet broke through the air, grazing Rong Sheng’s temples and firing into the tree trunk.

Huo Zhun was shocked in his heart, in the way of his head being pointed at by a gun he couldn’t turn back, and eagerly said:” Ling, what are you doing here? Go back!”

Ling’s face was extremely pale, his lips losing their color, as if he was going to faint in the next second. But his hand holding the gun was steady, the muzzle flat and accurately pointing at Rong Sheng’s forehead.

“Brother Sheng, put the gun down.” Ling ignored Huo Jun and said.

Huo Zhun was anxious and angry, thinking, “Am I that incompetent in your heart that I can’t even handle your old lover? I told you to let you honestly hide, but you follow over to come and join in the fun, don’t know what your body has become? Good girl, you hurry back, later I took care of Rong Sheng will carry you back to the hospital, you quickly do not go forward this bullet is not long-eyed and then hurt you.

However, it is a pity that all these Ling could not receive. When he saw Rong Sheng holding his gun against Huo Jun, he had already lost two and a half of his souls, and he didn’t even care to look at Huo Jun’s face.

“Brother Sheng, if you put the gun down, everything is negotiable.”Ling stared straight at Rong Sheng, “Otherwise, I can only ……”

“shoot me?” Rong Sheng glanced at the muzzle of his own gun and laughed, “Ningning, do you believe that I can finish Huo Zhun’s life with one shot while you shoot at me!”

“No, I’m not shooting at you, I’m shooting at myself.” Ling shook his head, the muzzle of his gun slowly but firmly aimed at his temple, “Brother Sheng, if Huo Jun dies today, I won’t live alone either. You can try, whether your gun is faster or mine.”

” Ling! Don’t be ridiculous!” Huo Zhun is getting anxious, “Take the gun away, what if it goes off!”

Ling turned a deaf ear and looked at Rong Sheng with a burning gaze. He does what he says he will do, this temperament is not only clear to Huo Zhun, but also clear to Rong Sheng.

Ling was forcing him.

He is using his own love for him and soft heart, forcing himself ……

Rong Sheng looked at Ling from afar, suddenly from the bottom of his heart surged a thick sadness.

Ling never disdained his own love for him, and the only time he looked squarely at him was actually to save someone else.

“Ning Ning, you have disappointed Sheng too much.”

Rong Sheng laughed long and despondently, hooking his index finger and pulling the trigger.

The bullet spun at high speed and ejected from the magazine. Almost at the same moment, Huo Zhun crouched down and raised his foot to sweep Rong Sheng’s lower disk. Rong Sheng was not prepared for such a close distance, but he had such a fast reaction speed that he took this blow and fell to the side. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Huo Jun went out to grab the gun in his hand, did not expect Rong Sheng wrist flicked, and even attempted to Huo Jun’s heart to make up a shot. Huo Jun dodged sideways, Rong Sheng also took advantage of this time gap to stabilize his body, and switched an elbow to Huo Jun’s spine. Huo Zhun gritted his teeth and accepted it, his palm turned into a blade, upward chopping Rong Sheng’s wrist holding the gun.Who knows that Rong Sheng had intended to penetrate the back of Huo Zhun heart, this blow was caught off guard, actually changed the direction of his wrist, the boundless black night, only to hear “bang” sound –

the bullet is not impartial, did not enter Rong Sheng’s heart.

“Brother Sheng ……”

Ling shouted, at that moment, he only felt that his hands and feet were cold, and the blood in his body seemed to have stopped flowing.

He stumbled over, only feeling that this was the longest stretch of road he had ever run in his life. He pounced over and held Rong Sheng tightly in his arms before he hit the ground, and the moment he touched his hand, it was full of blood in his palm.

“Brother Sheng, Brother Sheng ……” Ling was shaking all over, he was so panicked that every word seemed to use his whole body’s strength, “Call the doctor, quickly call the doctor to go! Quickly call a doctor to save your life!”

“Ning, don’t cry,” Rong Sheng raised his hand and tried to stroke Ling’s cheek, “Haven’t you always wished for Sheng to die?At that time, you set up the car accident ……”

“I regretted it, I regretted it then!” Ling sobbed, “I couldn’t do it, Brother Sheng, I hated you for seeing Lie Wei die, but Brother Sheng, we grew up together, I couldn’t do it. Brother Sheng, don’t say anything sad, hold on for a while, the doctor will be here soon.”

“Ning Ning, Brother Sheng is sincere to you, do you believe that?” Rong Sheng lifted his eyelids with difficulty, the massive blood loss at his heart made his words difficult and his vision unclear.

Ling nodded his head haphazardly, tears clouding his vision as he choked on his words. Rong Sheng knew that he was dying, and at this point in time, no matter what he said, his Ning would not shake her head. He could have asked Ning Ning to promise to be with him, or he could have asked Ning Ning to swear that she would never see Huo Jun again in this life, but he was about to die, so why would he need to take advantage of Ning Ning’s kindness anymore?

“Ningning, you …… don’t hate Sheng.” Rong Sheng said with force, “Sheng brother has …… done a lot of things in the past that are sorry for you, but Sheng brother …… Sheng brother also regrets it. If time can start over again, Sheng brother will definitely treat you well and not ask you to leave me.”

“I know, I don’t hate you, really, I don’t hate you anymore.” Ling grabbed his hand tightly and shook her head.

“Ning Ning, do you still remember, when we were …… at home in the past, we would make a wish every time we had a birthday?”Rong Sheng held Ling’s fingers, but his gaze grew dim in a lower and lower voice, “You’ve always guessed …… what Sheng brother wished for ……”

“ShengBrother, brother ……”

“The wish that Sheng brother promised …… never changed.Brother Sheng wants to be with my Ning forever and never …… separate ……”

“Brother Sheng, please look at me and don’t close your eyes……”

“Ningning, when are you going to grow up?When you grow up, Brother Sheng will tell you ……”

Ling buried her face deeply in Rong Sheng’s neck, yet the pulse there had stopped beating forever. The body in his arms quickly went limp, Ling shouted Rong Sheng’s name over and over again, but he knew that the one who grew up with him, who used to be his most trusted and closest brother, could never respond to him.

Huo Zhun quietly looked at Ling, he knew that Ling needed to cry, and he just needed to be there quietly. He told all the bodyguards to disperse, and between the trees, only their figures remained.

“Sheng saved my life.” For a long, long time, Ling could no longer cry a single tear, but when he opened his mouth, his voice was so hoarse that it was heartbreaking, “Just now, in the water, he gave me a breath. If it wasn’t for this breath, I wouldn’t have been able to support you to save me.”

” Ling ……,” Huo Zhun took a step towards Ling.

“He originally wanted to hold me and die together, but he couldn’t let go, and he saved my life.”Ling looked at Rong Sheng in a daze, “But I threatened him with his intolerance ……”

” Ling, it’s not your fault.” Huo Zhun tried to persuade, however the next moment, Ling’s body swayed and fainted beside Rong Sheng.

Rong Sheng’s funeral was held three days later.

He was buried in the Rong Clan’s mausoleum in Country F, enjoying the same veneration from his grandchildren and descendants as many of Rong Clan’s forefathers.

The funeral was very simple and was conducted by Rong Sheng’s former assistant. There were not many attendees, except for Rong Sheng’s few friends, the only one who received him was Ling.

After being seriously injured, he fell into the water, which caused his old illness to recur, and he stayed in bed in a coma for three whole days. When he woke up three days later, the first thing he did was ask about Rong Sheng’s funeral.

Huo Zhun did not want to hide it from him and knew that he was bound to go.He had already ordered the airplane to be on standby, and in the face of Ling’s inquiry, he only had one sentence:

“I’ll go with you.”

Ling’s body was already extremely weak, and he wasn’t suited to traveling long distances at all. However, Huo Jun carefully asked the doctor about the precautions to be taken, and he took care of Ling himself, taking good care of him. Ling realizes that Phoenix Group is negotiating with the Yu Ming Consortium to buy back their shares, so Huo Jun is sacrificing his official duties to be with him.Ling is very much in his debt, however, Huo Jun only has a faint sentence:

“I should.”

After getting off the plane, Huo Jun directly asked someone to drive them to the mausoleum, but he stayed outside the door and did not go in. The funeral was nearly over, Ling held the incense, bowed, but did not get up. He knelt in front of the coffin for a long time, and it was only when his assistant came to ask him to do so with tears in his eyes that he got up with the help of Li’s strength.

He had not yet recovered from his illness and his body was weak. The moment he got up, his eyes went black, his body swayed, and he was unsteady on his feet. The assistant hurriedly asked him to sit next to him for a while, and brought out some refreshments, telling him to replenish his strength. He had no appetite at all, just staring blankly at Rong Sheng’s black and white photo, his eyes reddening.

“Excuse me, are you Mr. Ji Ning?” Suddenly, someone beside him asked.

Ling turned his head back – the one who asked was a middle-aged man in a suit, very polite.

“My previous name was Ji Ning,” Ling said, “and now it’s Ling.”

“Whatever your name is now, it’s good that you’re Mr. Ji Ning.” The middle-aged man took out a stack of documents from his briefcase and handed them to him, “Hello, I am Mr. Rong Sheng’s lawyer. Mr. Rong had a will related to you before he was born, please check it out.”

Ling took the documents suspiciously, and just after flipping through a few pages, his gaze froze.

“Mr. Rong made a will before he was born, if he was ever not alive, then all the assets in his name were left to Mr. Ji Ning.” The lawyer said, “Mr. Ji, I’ve been waiting for you for some days. If you have read the will and confirmed that there are no problems, please sign this document, then the contents of the will will take effect from the instant.”

Ling stared blankly at the words on the will, black and white, leaving everything in Rong Sheng’s name to Ji Ning. The will was made three years ago, when Rong Sheng was chasing Ling most aggressively. Ling almost felt that he wanted to kill himself, but in one morning, or one late night, he met with a lawyer, drafted a will, and left everything he owned to him.

Rong Sheng might have done a hundred things to apologize to Ling, but there was one thing that he never lied about.

He truly loved him miserably.

“This is the Rong family’s estate, it should be given to Rong’s children and grandchildren, I can’t have it.” Ling closed the will and handed it back to the lawyer.

“The Rong Clan doesn’t have any first line descendants left, the only collateral line is outsiders, and I’ve already investigated it, and it’s not suitable to inherit the Rong Clan.” The lawyer said, “Mr. Ji, you can not accept the contents of the will, but once that happens, the Rong Clan’s estate will be auctioned off. Now that the Rong Clan is in turmoil, once it is auctioned off, the consequences can be imagined. Mr. Ji, I heard that you and Mr. Rong grew up together, you won’t be able to bear to see the group that he grew up with end up in tatters, right?”

This lawyer was really good with his words, but Ling’s heart was like still water, and she wouldn’t be affected by these few words of his. Although this was true, Ling was physically and mentally exhausted, so she asked, “Please, can I think about it before answering you.”

“No problem at all.” The lawyer said, “It’s just that combining the legal deadlines and Rong’s current situation, I hope you can give me a clear answer within a month at most.”

“Okay, thank you.” Ling got up, “Excuse me, I’ll take my leave now.”

He walked to the door, but he suddenly turned back around, “May I ask …… how you recognized me since I’ve never met you before?”

The lawyer smiled and took out a photo from his briefcase.

“This was given to me by Mr. Rong, he said that you have looked like this since you were a child, and that your facial features haven’t changed much since you grew up. He asked me to recognize you with this photo, saying that even if you were old and wrinkled, you would definitely still look like you do in the photo.”

In the photo, the eighteen-year-old Ji Ning was smiling incomparably. It was his bar mitzvah, witnessed by family and friends, with Rong Sheng personally officiating for him. He remembered that Rong Sheng had given him a watch as an adult gift, and in the photo, the watch was brightly reflecting the light. Ji Ning put one hand on Sheng’s shoulder and smiled brightly.

In fact, Rong Sheng was wrong, the person he was back then was long different from the person he was now.

“I’m sorry, can I have this picture?” Ling asked.

“Of course.” The lawyer said, “Be my guest.”

Ling smiled, stuffed the photo into his pocket, and walked out with his clothes.

After returning to N, Ling asked Huo Jun for a month’s vacation.

Firstly, to recuperate his body, and secondly, he was in a bad mood, and Huo Jun wasn’t willing to force him to work. So after he was discharged from the hospital, he spent his days at home planting flowers, raising fish, and occasionally researching a few new dishes to enrich the children’s table.

Huo Jun used the excuse that his body had not yet fully recovered to half-cajole and half-persuade him to move into his own home. In fact, Ling didn’t put up much of a fight, and now he’s afraid to stay on his own, sometimes somehow his heart gets a little sore. But when he saw Huo Jun, he was fine; when he saw Huo Jun smile, he wanted to smile himself, and sometimes just hearing his voice inexplicably made him feel at ease.

Later, when he recalls this long life, it dawns on him that it is this time of companionship that makes him completely determined to live with Huo Jun.

Huo Jun was not good at romance, and whenever he came up with some romantic ideas, they would always end up as lame performances that were broken up by Ling, or worse, by the children. But he is good at companionship, he knows what Ling needs, so he always prepares in advance.

The month passed quickly, the children had their winter vacation, and the streets were filled with a festive atmosphere.

It was time for the New Year.

In previous years, the Huo mansion was cold, and on New Year’s Eve, CEO Huo took his son to nowhere. Going to a relative’s house is not like that, staying in your own home, the child remembers his mother and cries all the time. So father and son generally unspoken to avoid the topic, together to go to a country that is not New Year’s vacation go.

This year, with two more people in the Huo mansion, it was all of a sudden lively. Huo Xiaoming has been fussing about decorating the house every day, and Huo Jun has offered money and effort to drum up support. Rui doesn’t want anything else, he just wants his dad to take him to buy a new outfit.

But when he planned to go upstairs to find his dad, Uncle Huo suddenly stopped him.

“Your dad is napping, don’t disturb him.” Huo Jun squeezes his eyebrows and gestures at him, “I’ll go help you see if your dad is awake.”

He tiptoes upstairs and carefully pushes the door open a small crack. Ling wasn’t in bed; he was sitting on the floor, leaning against the balcony, lazily sunbathing.

When he heard the door slam, he turned his head and smiled.

“What’s up?” He asked.

“Nothing.” Huo Jun instantly forgets about Rui and admires Ling in the sunlight, thinking he’s tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk.

Ling is amused by his eyes and greets him, “The sunshine is so nice, do you want to come and sit here too?”

Huo Jun obeys and sits next to him. Their shoulders are close together, and after a while, Ling’s head leans in.

“You know all about it, right?” Under the sunlight, his eyelashes look like a row of small brushes, leaving dense black shadows under his eyes, “Brother Sheng left a will, telling me to inherit Rong’s.”

Huo Zhun responded, raising his hand to wrap it around his shoulders.

“I don’t know if I should accept it,” Ling asked, “Do you have any opinions?”

“Do you want to inherit?” Huo Jun asked.

“I don’t know, that’s why I’m asking you.” Ling smiles and glares at him.

“Inherit it.” Huo Jun said.

“Why?”

“Many reasons. One is because although this is Rong Sheng’s property, the very beginning of the kingdom was fought by the two of you together, and in the end, there is half of you here; secondly, if you don’t take over Rong’s, Rong’s will either be handed over to those lousy collateral lineages for inheritance or face an auction, and now that Rong’s is in a state of turmoil, both choices are not good; and also, the most crucial point,” Huo Zhun turns his head to look at him, “This is what Rong Sheng left for you, accepting it will leave you with no regrets.”

“What about you?” Ling asks him, “Won’t it make you uncomfortable in your heart if I accept what Rong Sheng left behind?”

“What’s it got to do with me?” Huo Zhun is puzzled, “I’m not that careful, I know that you’re not that close to him. I understand that it’s hard for you, after all, you grew up together as children, even if you had a bad time later, but he …… passed away, you will definitely feel bad in your heart. I agree with you to inherit the Rong’s reason, is that I just said those, you know my temper, but where I have a little bit of displeasure, certainly will not answer you. Or …… you don t believe it? Okay, okay, don’t look at me like that, I admit that there is another more personal reason why I am willing for you to inherit the Rong Clan. We are two people now, you become the head of Rong’s again, then I still fight with Rong’s what? Let’s just work hand in hand to help each other, develop together, and go to the pinnacle of success, don’t you think so?”

Ling helplessly plucked out a glance, but his heart silently warmed up.

How fortunate, to have met such a person in this life.

They sit on the balcony for a long time, the winter afternoon sunlight basking in the sun, calling for warmth from head to toe, even in the cracks of the bones. Ling leaned against Huo Jun’s shoulder and slept for a while, and when she woke up, she realized that Huo Jun was also asleep. He’s a bit silly when he’s asleep, his lips are slightly pursed and his eyebrows are twisted into a strange wavy shape. Ling looked at him and wanted to lean in to kiss him, and the moment his lips leaned over, the door suddenly opened.

…… This is the third time!

Pretending to sleep, President Huo thought: Huo Xiaoming you little brat, the old man can let you live this year in peace is not your father!

In any case, the stolen kiss was interrupted. Ling helps himself up on the windowsill and raises his voice to ask, “What’s wrong? Come in.”

Huo Xiaoming saw something he shouldn’t have seen, and was too scared to come in, shouting through the door, “Rui Rui and I want to …… go out and buy new clothes. Are you guys, are you going or not?”

“Go.” Ling said, “You guys go downstairs first and wait for a while, your father and I will come later.”

Ling is still wearing his loungewear, he has to change and hints with his eyes for Huo Jun to go out. Huo Jun ignores it and even pretends to look at the scenery, his eyes drifting about. He can’t say anything else, so he has to strip down to his underwear in front of Huo Zhun, and then find long pants and a sweater to change into.

Huo Zhun blearily looked at Ling flesh and bone Yun Ting’s body, eyes from the throat knots collarbone all the way down to the Ling tight upturned buttocks, gluttony of his yo, a minute can swallow twenty mouth saliva.

But you can’t eat, you can’t eat. The two of them have not yet formalized their relationship, if this time to eat people into the stomach, Ling will definitely want to make a fuss with him.

Speaking of which, when in the world can I eat someone?

Huo Jun thought bitterly.

Ling changed his clothes and headed out the door, Huo Jun followed him, thinking about his beautiful body. Coldly Ling turns around, his eyes so bright that they seem to have fallen into the stars.

“Huo Jun, you asked me before if I would be willing to be with you.” Ling says.

Huo Zhun responded with a confused head.

“There are some things that I’ve never felt the need to say the answer out loud, but now-” he comes over and kisses Huo Jun’s lips in a slapdash manner, “Got it?”

Huo Jun decides to make his move tonight!–
