illicit relationship

Dali looked at Xiao Tian with an annoyed face.

He was worried about her, but here, she defended Xiao Tian and yelled at him.

‘Why does she always protect him? Do they have a special relationship?’

He clenched his fists as he stared at Xiao Tian.

Xiao Tian ignored Dali because, in his eyes, Dali was not important. He was only a side character.

After sitting on the couch, Jie smiled softly. “Thank you, Xiao Tian.”

Dali was breathless with anger.

He was even more certain that they had a special relationship because Jie treated Xiao Tian special.

“Then I will return to my company now.” after saying that, Xiao Tian left.

“Jie, what is your relationship with him?” Dali started interrogating her because he wanted to know about her relationship with Xiao Tian.

Jie turned her head to look at Dali.

‘He is jealous again!’

She knew what he had in mind because it was written on his face.

Actually, this was one of the reasons why she never accepted his love because he was always angry and jealous whenever she was with another man.

They were not lovers, yet he had already behaved as if she was his girlfriend. She did not want to imagine what he would do if she agreed to be his lover.

Dali was unhappy when Jie only stared at him without answering his question. “Why are not you answering my question? What is your relationship with him?”

“It’s none of your business!” Jie started to get angry. “We are not lovers, so I have no obligation to explain everything to you.”

“Tch!” He did not hide his annoyed face. “You have only known him for a few days, but you have treated him special, while we have known each other for a long time, yet you have never treated me the way you treated him.”

“Why? Is it because he is handsome? Or is it because he is rich?” he smoldered with resentment.

“Dali, watch your words!” Jie raised her voice. “I never treat him special. I treat him like the way I treat you.”

“Lies!” Dali raised his voice too. “You treat him better. Why? Why?”

At this moment, the other orphanage caretakers and Jie’s mother came to the living room.

“What’s going on? Why are you screaming like that? Have you forgotten that they are kids here?” Jie’s mother was unhappy with their behavior.

Dali gritted his teeth before heading to his bedroom. He could not scold Jie anymore because her mother and the other caretakers were in the living room.

Jie’s mother sat on the sofa and inquired, “Jie, what’s going on?”

“It’s like this….” Jie began explaining everything.

“Sigh.” Jie’s mother sighed. “Alright, alright. You go to your room now.”

“Alright.” Jie nodded her head.

The next day at 08:30 am, Xiao Tian went to Du café to meet Xing Ranqing.

To his surprise, he saw Leng Nichang drinking lemon juice alone. He wasted no time and walked toward her.

“I didn’t expect to meet you in this place, lady Leng.” he uttered.

Leng Nichang was startled when she saw him.

Of course, she did not show it on her face and only smiled. “Yes. I just met my business partner. What are you doing here?”

“Ranqing and I decided to meet in this place.” He gave an honest answer. “I’m waiting for her now.”

“I see. Why don’t you chat with me while waiting for her to come?” she thought it was better to sit down with him because, with this, she had someone to talk to.

“Sure.” He sat on the opposite side of her.

Not long after that, Xing Ranqing arrived at Du café. She was startled when she saw Leng Nichang because she thought he would only hang out with Xiao Tian.

The trio talked for about forty minutes before finally going to the Kindred Hearts Orphanage.

Kindred Hearts Orphanage, Front Yard.

Xiao Tian, Xing Ranqing and Leng Nichang were currently in the front yard of the Kindred Hearts Orphanage.

The orphans immediately surrounded them when they caught sight of them.

They were happy when they saw Xiao Tian and the others. The smile on their faces grew bigger when Xiao Tian gave them many snacks and drinks.

Leng Nichang’s face turned worried when she saw Jie’s condition. “Big sister Jie, you should rest more.”

“It’s fine.” Even though Jie’s condition had improved, she was still using a crutch.

After talking with Jie for a few minutes, Leng Nichang spent time with Xiao Tian. They were currently sitting on the swings, chatting happily.

Xing Ranqing was playing with orphans not far from them. She did not chat with them because she wanted to play with orphans.

“It seems like she really likes playing with orphans.” Leng Nichang suddenly wanted to play with orphans too.

However, something unexpected happened when she walked toward them.

She slipped!

“Lady Lan!” he rushed toward them.

Because the distance between them was close, he was able to catch her before she fell to the ground.

His right hand was on her slender waist while his other hand was holding hers. Their position was romantic, like a scene on TV.

Something like this had happened a few times to him. The last time was when he helped Xi Ran from two delinquents.

“Nice move, bro!” Xing Ranqing, who saw them, gave a thumb up.

Xiao Tian immediately pulled her up.

Leng Nichang behaved normally because he only wanted to save her. She would have fallen to the ground if he had not caught her.

“Big sister Nichang, are you and big brother a couple?” one of the orphans asked innocently.

Xiao Tian and Leng Nichang were startled.

Before Leng Nichang could answer his question, Xing Ranqing uttered, “She is not his girlfriend for now, but she will be his lover in the future.”

The corner of his lips twitched.

Dali, who was sitting next to Jie, uttered, “Jie, look at him! He is a playboy! As I thought, he is not a good young man.”

He decided to speak ill of Xiao Tian because, in his view, it was a good opportunity to ruin Xiao Tian’s reputation.

However, his words disappointed Jie. “Why are you saying something like that? Nichang would have fallen to the ground if he had not caught her. He is a good person, but bad person.”

Dali clenched his fist.

‘Damn it!’

He was furious because she defended Xiao Tian again.

When Xiao Tian and Leng Nichang chatted with Jie, Jie’s face was full of smiles. She was happy because chatting with them was enjoyable.

Dali was blinded by anger again.

‘Fuck!’

He rose to his feet and entered the orphanage because he did not want to see Xiao Tian.

No!

He did not want to see Jie’s happy face when she talked with them.

At this moment, he suddenly wanted to accept Cao Song’s offer because he had no money to pay someone to beat Xiao Tian.

‘I’m going for a walk to cool off.’

With that idea in mind, he went out to calm himself.

At the same time, Cao Song’s subordinate, who always followed Dali in secret, informed Cao Song.

Cao Song thought it was a good opportunity to trap Dali, so he left his office with his beautiful secretary to meet Dali.
