Chapter 207: A Beautiful Show of Love

Xia Ling was pale as she looked at the broken oil painting on the floor.

She did not hear the voice from the other end of the phone, so she softly asked, “Who did it?”

Li Lei was quiet for a while before saying, “It was my brother. Don’t worry, Xiao Ling. I will increase security protection to ensure your safety. I will also be there personally to drive you around. My brother probably does not have any intention of harming you. He probably just wants to scare you.”

A scare? It was truly very frightening.

Li Feng’s soft and bewitching expression appeared in Xia Ling’s mind like a colorful snake.

Li Lei tried to comfort her with words, but he was worried inside. His demon-like brother acted very irrationally, and who knew what his next step was. It was possible that he was only trying to scare her, but it was also possible that… He did not just kill one or two people. Killing Xiao Ling was not a significant addition to his list.

Li Lei’s expression darkened.

Xia Ling was a little relieved after being comforted by him. She knew that Li Feng was a dangerous person, but she did not understand why she blindly trusted Li Lei. Li Lei said that she would be fine so she would be fine. In the days to come, she continued to perform as usual and rushed to the site of the Nebula Music Festival. Li Lei turned down most of the social activities he had to attend and accompanied her to ensure that she was properly protected.

The last night of the Nebula Music Festival.

Xia Ling ended up in fourth place and had the highest score out of all of the newcomers.

Backstage.

“Congratulations, Xiao Ling!” Luo Luo skipped towards her and gave her a big hug.

A few other people including Lu Tao, Leng Hui, Bai Murong, and Feng Kun surrounded her and congratulated her. Li Lei sent her a bouquet of lilies, hugged her, and kissed her. “You’re the best.”

“Another public display of affection!” The crowd could not bear to see it.

During this period, this couple had a lot of public displays of affection and caused all those who were single, unhappy, and in secret relationships to feel jealous… Everyone was envious of their relationship.

However, Li Lei was delighted and flashed a toothy smile. “I like spoiling Xiao Ling. So what about it?”

His face did not have a single shred of guilt, and people could not bear to look at them directly.

At the start, the media representatives had varying public opinions of their relationship. Some criticized Ye Xingling for being arrogant when she debuted, but this rhetoric was quickly suppressed by Li Lei. Furthermore, both of them were very much in love… As such, all of the entertainment sites started to report on how much they loved each other, where they ate together, where they went together, and how Big Boss Li opened the car door for his beloved little girlfriend…

Xia Ling smiled happily in Li Lei’s arms, holding the large bouquet of lilies in front of her face.

The reporters who obtained visiting licenses crazily took photos of them. This couple of a handsome man and a beautiful lady was too eye-catching. From face-value to their status, there was enough material for the media to write articles until the end of the year.

With his hand around Xia Ling’s soft and slender waist, Li Lei and Xia Ling walked out of the TV station.

As they walked on the short stretch of snow, he used his large coat to protect her.

Not far away in a high-rise building, Li Feng put down his sniper rifle and drank red wine in big gulps. Beside him, several beautiful women were trembling in fear as they served him. “You’re really getting better at protecting her.” A treacherous smile appeared on his mouth as he spoke to himself. “Using your own body as a shield to block the best sniping position… Xiao Lei, is this little girl that important to you? Is she even more important than your own life?”

He gracefully adjusted his sniper’s aim and looked closely at the couple through his aiming device. From this angle, Li Lei thoroughly protected Xia Ling using his body, and he could not find any trace of a gap between them for him to shoot.

“I still think you’re gambling with me…” Li Feng smiled more delightedly. “You think I can’t bear to kill you?”

Li Lei sent Xia Ling back to the apartment, bid her farewell, and entered his own apartment next door.

Su Tang knocked on the door before entering. “Young Master, today the bodyguards dismantled another three toy bombs along the way which were all placed by Young Master Feng. The signal of the fifth communication group was also disrupted. When you were guarding Miss Ye out from the TV station, they could not connect to the channel.” That meant that if Li Feng wanted to do something, no one could report it to Li Lei.

These were Li Feng’s means. He did not want to kill Xia Ling and did not even want to hurt her.

However, he wanted to warn Li Lei at every moment that he could do so. In front of him, Li Lei, as his younger brother, was always weaker. Li Lei and his girlfriend were caught in his web. The only reason why he was not doing anything, for the time being, was because he was in a good mood… and nothing more.

Li Lei lit a cigarette. The extinguished fire and smoke reflected his dignified face.

“The new year is approaching.” He said.

Su Tang was startled and did not know why he suddenly mentioned that. However, she still respectfully replied. “Yes, there’s still half a month before the Spring Festival.”

“Make some preparations. This year, I will bring Xiao Ling back home.”

“Young Master?” Despite Su Tang’s indifference and calmness, at this moment, she could not help but widen her eyes in shock. “You want to bring Miss Ye back to the Li Headquarters?” She asked incredulously.

After Li Lei made this decision, he strangely became more relaxed and smiled. “Yes, I will bring her back home. She will marry me sooner or later. It’s not a bad thing for her to familiarize herself with my family earlier.” With Li Feng casting covetous eyes on his prey, Xiao Ling, and considering the perverted nature of his older brother’s thought process, who knew what he was capable of doing. Li Lei could not take Xiao Ling’s safety lightly.

He could only bring her back to his family’s headquarters to pay respects to his grandfather and gain his acknowledgment.

After that, anyone who dared to lay a hand on her would have to think twice.

“But…” Su Tang did not know what to say. How could Young Master bring a girl he had known for only a year back to his family headquarters? He should know that the Li Family was involved in the triad. The family headquarters was far from typical and was located in the most guarded location. As long as the person trying to enter their home was not someone whom they trusted with their lives, they would not be able to enter their home!

Over the years, there had been many romances between the children of the Li Family and outsiders, but not more than three were truly able to enter the family headquarters!

“Young Master, isn’t this too risky?” Su Tang rushed to offer some wisdom and quietly warned him. “You told me to investigate Miss Ye’s background before, and you know that her background is too clean and completely inconsistent from what she is hiding from you. Until now, we still do not know what her relationship with Pei Ziheng is, and we’re confused about the diagnosis that Dr. James gave her that time, so we don’t know much about what sort of serious provocation she had experienced. There are too many doubts surrounding her. Is it suitable for a person like her with such a dubious background to enter the headquarters?”

“I say she is suitable, so she is suitable.” Li Lei’s voice was light, but it was filled with unstoppable power and influence.
