Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The news was too sudden, making her dumbfounded.
After not seeing him for a few days, how did Li Lei win the authority of the Li Family and become its new head? She went to the island where the headquarters was and knew what kind of terrifying weapons and heavily armed guards were employed there. Despite this, Li Lei seized the power of the headquarters in such a short amount of time?!
Her heartbeat was a little irregular. What kind of man was the person she was in love with?
Just as she was lost in her thoughts, a staff member suddenly ran towards her. Holding his knees and gasping for air, he said, “Miss… Ye… Something big has happened. Quickly go out and take a look!”
She did not know what was going on, so she left with the staff member and arrived at the high steps of the performance hall. Immediately, they were dazzled by the scene outside. On the large square, a beautiful white helicopter was parked. The propellers made a roaring sound. A handsome man, who was as good looking as the world’s top model, stood beside the helicopter holding a large bouquet of roses and was flashing her a vibrant smile.
He was followed by several bodyguards which were all tall and muscular.
Further away, the area was cordoned off. There were many journalists and fans gathered outside. They raised their cameras and mobile phones and crazily took photos of them.
“Li Lei.” She smiled and whispered.
The man holding the roses climbed up the white marble steps and stood in front of her.
She looked at him. The sunlight fell on him, giving his body a warm golden tint.
Li Lei placed the flowers in her hand and gently kissed her forehead. In a magnetic voice, he said, “I’m here to bring you home.”
Her eyelashes fluttered like a butterfly’s wings. “Home?”
He stopped talking, held her hand, and walked down the steps. Behind the cordoned area, the sounds of cameras clicking and screams became crazier. Not only did they not disperse, but the fans also started cheering for them hysterically. “Ye Xingling! Li Lei! Ye Xingling! Li Lei!”
She and he were in the center of the crowd just like a prince and princess in a fairytale.
A teenage girl said to her friend with a dreamy expression, “It’s really a helicopter. Ye Xingling is so lucky. Her beloved man flew a helicopter to pick her up. If only I could have a boyfriend like him.”
Her friend was also very envious. “Unfortunately, meeting someone like Second Young Master Li requires luck. He’s already the most powerful Chinese leader of the triad and comes from the Italian mafia. How many men are like him? Only a woman like Xiao Ling is worthy of him.”
The two girls sighed. Like the other fans, they watched as they got on the helicopter.
The helicopter slowly took off and headed towards the sky.
Xia Ling sat in the helicopter but did not forget to wave to the crowd from the glass window. Her smile was as sweet as the blooming of the first flower and her crystal beaded dress that she did not have time to change made her beauty stand out even more. At this moment, many girls envied her. If they could live such a happy life and have such a devoted boyfriend, they would die without regrets.
The helicopter finally vanished into the sky.
Only then did Xia Ling stop waving from the window. She took off her high heels in an unladylike manner and walked barefoot on the soft, thick wool carpet in the helicopter.
“I’m deadbeat.” She complained. “Why didn’t you call before coming? I haven’t even changed yet.”
“What you’re wearing is great.” Li Lei, the pilot, smiled. “I wanted to give you a surprise.”
She rubbed her feet. When she looked down, she saw a trace of blood. Her heel was hurt by the high heels. These shoes were meant for the performance and were not comfortable. When she was on stage, she already felt her feet hurting. Initially, she wanted to change them for the next round of performances, but unexpectedly, she was sent 30,000 feet above the ground by him.
She found a tissue in her bag and wiped the blood away.
She did not tell him that her feet were hurt. At this time, she had to satisfy her curiosity first. “I don’t know if I like it, but I sure am shocked. How did you manage to suddenly take over the whole family?”
Li Lei skillfully maneuvered the helicopter. “I said before that I would give you an explanation.”
She was startled again and finally remembered that in the past few days, she was depressed and grievously asked why the people who hurt Shaohui were not punished… It turned out that he always remembered to get even for them.
This was his explanation.
Li Lei did not turn around and continued to say, “Now, I am in control of the Li Family. They will listen to my orders and no longer hurt you. I will take you back to the headquarters to let everyone know that you are my most beloved woman.”
She was silent.
He flew the plane for a while and noticed something wrong. “What is it?” He asked.
Finally, she said, “It’s nothing. I am… very happy.” She would be lying if she said she was unhappy. This man was willing to do so much for her to ensure that she and their son would be safe in the future. This was really something to be happy about. However, she had a bad experience on the island of the headquarters before…
The last time she went there, they all rejected her vehemently. Would they accept her this time?
As if he saw her concerns, Li Lei said, “You are my woman and the mistress of the island.”
Mistress of the island? She forced a smile but was still nervous.
The helicopter landed on the familiar yet foreign island.
Just like the previous time, it was surrounded by green trees. Sea breeze blew against the castle, which was mysterious and majestic.
The only difference was,
She became even more anxious.
When Li Lei landed the helicopter, the subordinates had already lined up on the tarmac.
Li Lei did not open the door of the helicopter but said to her, “Xiao Ling, don’t be afraid. This time the security is very tight because I just took over as head of the family. It will be better in a few days.”
She nodded.
Only then did he open the rear hatch. He went out first and turned around to help her.
She was a little unsteady as she tried to stand on the wool carpet and her bruises were exposed in front of him. He slightly frowned and decided to carry her instead. He carefully lifted her light body and carried her out of the helicopter.
Under the subordinate’s gazes, her face suddenly became red.
“Let me down.” She whispered and did not dare to look around.
From the apron to some distance away, a group of people stood in rows. They were all dressed in formal attire. There were men and women of all ages, and their faces seemed to have similar characteristics. It looked like the whole family had gathered to welcome the return of their new leader and her…
Their young leader’s woman.
