Mo Yan's Transmigration Inside The Book

196 - 200

196 So kind

'Thank you for your service.' Ye Ling said.

'Hm, I don't need your thanks.'

'Just Long Aotian~'

Qianxin was silent.

'As long as I get what I want, you can get what you want.'

'I never needed your help.'

'It looks like you're more deluded than I thought.'

Qianxin supressed the strong urge to slap her and walked out. Soon, she would have her revenge.

Ye Ling waited a few minutes more in the toilet before emerging, and going in a direction opposite to the banquet hall. She went up the lift to one of the rooms and knocked on the door. The door opened to reveal a handsome man, not as handsome as Long Aotian or those men, but enough.

She entered and threw herself into the man's arms, looking meek and terrified.

'She's here! Can you deal with her?'

'Of course. But are you sure about this?' he asked her, holding her tightly.

She lowered her lashes uneasily, her lowered head so he didn't see her expression, 'I just want her to have a taste of her own medicine.'

'Don't worry. I will do as you ask. You will be fine.' The man said reassuringly, kissing her quivering lashes.

'You're so kind...' she said stroking his neck intimately.

'Who else would I be kind to?' he whispered, flames of desire lighting his eyes.

Ye Ling coyly blinked as she said, 'No. I have to go back. I'll expect your message.'

He nodded and left the room. Ye Ling watched him go down the corridor. Her expression turned from innocent to disgusted and contemptuous. She plucked out a silk handkerchief from her purse and wiped the places he had kissed. She threw the used fabric in the trash can and walked off without looking back. Her expression was haughty.

A toad that wanted to eat swan meat should look in the mirror first.

A few months ago, on a dark and windy night, she went to places she would never go. She was shocked by the squalor, but she found a man with empty eyes. (Zuben: This part is reaching so much, I dunno what the author was thinking)

'You, are you alright?' she asked cautiously. There was no response.

She inched closer, 'Do you need help?'

'Don't be afraid,' she said, 'I'm a good person.' (Zuben: ...who's just wandering about looking for random men to be beholden to my heroine halo!)

She used a handkerchief wipe the dirt away from his face, (Zuben: as you do) and found underneath the grime was a handsome man. She smiled brightly, he would be of use to her.

With a soft delicate voice and twinkling obsidian eyes, she was like a fairy that had come down from heaven to save his soul.

On the night before the auction, she had called him – crying. She had been bullied by a vicious woman; his heart broke for her. He wanted to rush to her to comfort her,

"Don't worry," he told her, "I will take care of it." While wondering, despite having such powerful men around her, they still didn't take care of her. He had thought that with their strong backing, she should be well cared for, and he would be her knight in the shadows. But they didn't help her when other women were riding on her head.

He would defend her.
