Stay with Me

Chen Ling reigned in her thoughts and began her performance.

"Brother Lin Xuan."

Chen Ling's devastated voice came through the phone.

"Sob, sob..."

Chen Ling cried so hard she could barely catch her breath.

Lin Xuan's heart skipped a beat. He had a terrible premonition.

"What's wrong?" Lin Xuan asked, his heart in his throat. "Chen Ling, tell me quickly, what exactly happened?"

"Brother Lin Xuan."

"It's ruined, everything is ruined," Chen Ling sobbed.

"What's ruined?" Lin Xuan asked nervously.

"Brother Lin Xuan, my father's memorial tablet, his portrait, and his ashes... they've all been destroyed."

Chen Ling choked up so much she could barely speak. This was genuine sorrow from the bottom of her heart. She couldn't bear to destroy her father's belongings either, but she had no choice.

The dead, and the living.

If she could only choose one, she could only choose the living.

Lin Xuan's face turned pale.

The director had raised him; without the director, he would have died long ago.

The director's memorial tablet, ashes, and portrait were all destroyed...

"What exactly happened?" Lin Xuan, who was usually so calm, asked with a trembling voice.

"Brother Lin Xuan," Chen Ling shook her head and cried, "I don't know when this happened. Today is my father's birthday. I missed him so much, so I thought about coming back to celebrate it with him."

"I never expected that as soon as I came back, I would see all of my father's things destroyed."

"Brother Lin Xuan, what should I do now?"

Lin Xuan didn't suspect Chen Ling's involvement in all this at all.

Because Chen Ling was Director Chen's daughter.

No matter what, Chen Ling would never do such a thing to her own father.

"Wait for me, I'll be right there," Lin Xuan said.

"Okay, Brother Lin Xuan. I'll wait for you at the orphanage."

A look of triumph flashed in Chen Ling's eyes.

Brother Lin Xuan had fallen for it.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Ling began to practice in front of her mirror.

She made sure she could show the most pitiful expression that would arouse a man's tenderness.

The woman in the mirror had red eyes and looked incredibly delicate and pitiful.

She had a baby face with very delicate features.

An ordinary man would find it very hard to resist someone like her.

Recently, Chen Ling had also been working out like crazy.

Her figure was much better than before, and she was exceptionally flexible.

A sweet and confident smile appeared on Chen Ling's face.

"Brother Lin Xuan, it'll be soon. I'll be able to be with you very soon."

"As long as I sleep with you just once, I will definitely make you completely obsessed with me."

At this thought.

Chen Ling remembered Su Hua.

Scenes flashed through her mind of Su Hua deliberately acting intimate with him right in front of her.

Chen Ling clenched her fists.

Her face darkened.

"Su Hua."

"You vixen!"

Chen Ling's expression turned incredibly vicious, looking as if she wanted to tear Su Hua into pieces.

A series of cold sneers suddenly escaped her lips.

"You won't be smug for much longer, because I'm going to seduce Brother Lin Xuan right now, and you will be squeezed right out of his side."

Heh.

She wanted to see if Su Hua could still act so smug in front of her in the future.

From now on, she would treat Su Hua exactly how Su Hua had treated her.

She would deliberately act intimate with Brother Lin Xuan.

She would piss her off!

Right, not just that.

She would also make Su Hua watch her and Brother Lin Xuan in bed.

At that time, the look on Su Hua's face would definitely be spectacular.

"Hahahaha..."

Chen Ling couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Brother Lin Xuan is mine, hahaha, he's mine."

She checked the time.

Figuring it was about time, she returned to her father's room.

Chen Ling suddenly recalled the cold draft in the room around noon.

Her heart skipped a beat in fear.

No.

She shouldn't be afraid.

This was her father.

Even if ghosts and spirits really existed in this world, her father loved her so much, he definitely wouldn't bear to do anything to her.

Thinking this, Chen Ling's heart settled down.

Chen Ling sat on the floor, her face covered in tears and her eyes red.

She looked at everything around her, her eyes filled with disbelief and agony.

Lin Xuan drove his car, speeding toward the orphanage.

He slammed on the gas pedal.

The distance from the Night Garden to the orphanage usually took twenty minutes, but he forcibly cut it down to twelve.

Lin Xuan sprinted into the orphanage and straight to Director Chen's room.

The room door was wide open.

As soon as Lin Xuan walked in.

Chen Ling, who was sitting on the floor, turned her head to look at him.

Her eyes were bloodshot.

She looked so pitiful that anyone would feel sorry for her.

Seeing Lin Xuan's figure, it was as if she had found her pillar of support.

Chen Ling stood up from the floor.

She threw herself at him.

And hugged Lin Xuan tightly.

"Brother Lin Xuan, you're finally here."

Chen Ling's tears gushed out.

Quickly soaking the front of Lin Xuan's shirt.

In the past, Lin Xuan would have quickly pushed her away.

But this time, he allowed her to hold him.

Director Chen was Chen Ling's biological father. The father and daughter had only each other to rely on, so Chen Ling's feelings for him must have been very deep.

What happened today was a massive blow to her.

Forget it.

Lin Xuan sighed.

He would just let her hug him for a while.

Seeing that Lin Xuan didn't push her away, Chen Ling's lips curled up.

This trick really worked.

She had bet right.

Chen Ling hugged him even tighter, pressing her ear against his chest and feeling his strong heartbeat.

She calmed down a lot and was no longer as scared as before.

"Brother Lin Xuan."

Chen Ling's tears flowed uncontrollably down her face.

"As soon as I came back, I saw this scene. I don't know who did this."

"It must have been my father's enemy, but my father always had a great temper. I don't know who he could possibly have a grudge against."

Lin Xuan looked at the scene, his mind a mess.

He tried hard to calm himself down.

"Chen Ling, it has already happened. Being sad and in pain won't help."

"Let's tidy up your father's room first," Lin Xuan comforted her.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, Brother Lin Xuan." Tears in her eyes, Chen Ling nodded.

She and Lin Xuan began to clean up the room together.

Su Hua finished her work early and returned to the Night Garden.

Frowning, she asked, "Butler Wang, where is Xuan?"

Butler Wang replied, "Young Master Lin just answered a phone call and went out. He looked to be in a great hurry."

"What phone call?" Su Hua's brow furrowed tightly.

"I think I heard the word 'orphanage', but other than that, I don't know," Butler Wang answered, shaking his head.

Su Hua clenched her fists.

It seemed Chen Ling had used some excuse to make Xuan go see her.

Su Hua strode toward the door.

At the orphanage.

After everything was set back in order.

"Have you eaten?" Lin Xuan asked.

"Not yet." Chen Ling shook her head.

Lin Xuan said, "Then I'll order some takeout for you."

"Okay."

Chen Ling nodded.

With red eyes, Chen Ling said, "Brother Lin Xuan, can you stay and keep me company tonight?"
