Chapter 426: Meeting Ling Wei Again

Late in the night.

Thank you readers!

Many people were already asleep. Some others, however, found it hard to sleep because of various reasons.

In a corner room on the third floor of the Ling family mansion, a beautiful figure leaned by the window and gazed at the starry sky outside.

The night sky was clear and was dotted with stars and the moon.

She cushioned her head on her arms. Under the pale moonlight, her face seemed to be enveloped in a thin halo of light. It looked like a scene in a dream.

Her eyes were wide open as she looked outside.

She seemed morose. There was a hint of worry in her slightly furrowed brows.

It had been almost two months!

It had been a long time since their last separation.

Happiness had eluded her over the past two months.

Her freedom was restricted. She could not go outdoors, and even her time on the Internet was limited. She was locked in the mansion every day, as though she was a bird in a cage.

She missed those bygone days...

She was very busy back then, but she was happy that she was productive. Her current life was unimaginably boring.

She missed that person and the times spent living together with him. She missed the evenings where she would go to the wet market with him.

That was pure, simple joy.

Memories flooded her like the incoming tide. She could not rid herself of those feelings.

'What is he doing now?' She wondered.

Perhaps he was sleeping alone in his apartment in Provincial City, or he might be spending time with someone else back in Westridge.

She pouted when she thought about that.

She regretted that she did not fall in love with him sooner.

It had not been too late the first time she met him, but she did not realize how extraordinary he was back then.

'Perhaps things would be radically different!' She thought.

Suddenly, she heard a knock on her room door.

"Are you asleep yet, my daughter?" It was a low and booming voice. That belonged to Ling Mingshan.

Her face seemed to be coated with a layer of frost at that instant.

She bit her lip and did not make a sound.

She hated how her father had used her as a bargaining chip to elevate his social status. She hated him even more for siding with her brother.

Ling Mingshan stood outside the door for a very long time.

He waited for a reply, but the reply never came.

He sighed lightly, shook his head, and left.

When she heard that her father left, Ling Wei got up and went to one side of the room.

She turned off the lights, and the room was instantly cloaked into darkness.

She turned around and prepared to return to the window, but she suddenly heard the sound of something flying through the air.
