Seduced Me into a Deep Fall - Chapter 60
“What kind of compensation do you want?” Hearing this, Ling Xi’s expression brightened slightly.
As long as Song Yi didn’t hate her, that was enough.
Seeing Song Yi hesitate, Ling Xi reached out. “Can I have a hug?”
“Of course.” Song Yi mirrored her gesture.
The two embraced, and Ling Xi adjusted her position, pressing closer to Song Yi.
She caught the scent of Song Yi’s laundry detergent, and for a moment, she felt dazed.
This time last year, they had sat beneath a tree, holding each other just like this.
“Then why did you come to meet me today? And why didn’t you block my number before?”
Mu Xie no longer seemed composed, her voice rising sharply.
The bodyguards around Ling Xi tensed, adopting defensive stances.
“What do you think, Mu Xie? I didn’t block you because I couldn’t be bothered. I came to see you just like I responded to you before for the same reason. There’s something I want to know.” Ling Xi took a step forward instead.
She advanced on Mu Xie, step by step.
“For example, in our past life. What did you do to Song Yi? What did you do to me? Song Yi and I actually met five years ago. She’d been looking for me all along. But in our past life, she was nowhere to be seen.”
“For example, what your plans are now. Are you going to release that drug? Are you planning to create chaos?”
Mu Xie’s eyes turned red as a rabbit’s, on the verge of breaking down. “Song Yi, Song Yi, Song Yi… You came to me just for her?!”
“What else? I don’t love you. I never liked you. And I never forgave you.”
Ling Xi watched Mu Xie’s state, feeling slightly nervous but continuing to provoke her.
“If not for my wife, why else would it be for you?”
“Don’t flatter yourself, Mu Xie. There was never anything between us to begin with.”
Mu Xie finally let out a wail, sobbing violently, her entire body trembling.
“Ling Xi… I hate you! I hate you! If you didn’t like me, why did you give me an umbrella in the rain? Why did you buy me gifts and a cake for my birthday? Why did you make me misunderstand? Why did you lead me on?!”
During the time she was still hesitating, Song Yi had decisively accepted her invitation and taken her hand.
“Ask me anything. I’ll tell you everything.”
Ling Xi felt the slight dampness of sweat on their palms. She wanted to pull away but couldn’t bear to let go of this moment. “I… I just want to understand you.”
“Even better.” Song Yi led Ling Xi toward where she had parked.
“I’d love for you to understand me.”
As for Fu Youyou, Song Yi didn’t even want to mention her. She was just waiting for the right moment to eliminate that woman completely.
“Yeah. They’re all wonderful my grandmother and my aunt too.”
Seeing the unconscious smile on Ling Xi’s face, Song Yi understood why she was so drawn to her.
A child truly raised in love carries light wherever she goes.
With Ling Xi’s sincerity and purity, who wouldn’t love her?
“I’ll take you to meet them someday.” Ling Xi still clung tightly to Song Yi’s arm.
As if inviting Song Yi into her life.
“Will they accept me?” Song Yi suddenly felt nervous.
Even though she and Ling Xi weren’t even in a relationship yet, Song Yi inexplicably felt as though she were about to meet her wife’s family.
“Hmm… I-I don’t know either. Is this topic a bit too soon?” Ling Xi was swept up in the nervousness as well.
“You’re right. So how are you going to introduce me to them later? As a friend?” Song Yi still couldn’t settle down.
“That wouldn’t work, would it?” Ling Xi looked at Song Yi.
“You’re more than just a friend.” She didn’t want to lie to her family either.
Song Yi’s heartstrings trembled again at Ling Xi’s words.
Ling Xi’s head drooped lower and lower.
Her ears turned as red as the morning clouds.
She felt slightly dizzy, unsure of Song Yi’s intentions.
Was such a straightforward statement a confession of affection?
Ling Xi only dared to speculate privately, not daring to be certain.
Even this speculation made her feel somewhat guilty, so she could only keep it buried in her heart.
Once in Song Yi’s car, the outside heat was finally shut out completely.
Ling Xi looked around at the car’s interior with curiosity, completely oblivious to the fact that she was still holding Song Yi’s hand as she took in her surroundings.
Seeing her like this, Song Yi secretly smiled to herself.
Ling Xi had just come of age she was still a young girl.
Perhaps she needed to nurture this little girl a bit more.
Even if Ling Xi could understand what liking someone meant now, if she wanted to do certain things, she’d have to wait until she was a bit older.
“Little Xi, you just finished your college entrance exams, right?” Song Yi spoke up, drawing Ling Xi’s attention back.
Ling Xi turned her head and decisively scooted closer to her. “Yes, I can play freely for the next two months.”
“Then can we meet every day?” Song Yi also leaned toward her.
Their shoulders pressed together, and Ling Xi unconsciously rested her head against Song Yi’s shoulder.
“If it’s convenient for you, sure. But sometimes my friends might ask me out.”
“You wouldn’t want to go with them, would you?” Ling Xi looked up, her eyelashes brushing against Song Yi’s loose hair.
“Is that not allowed?” Song Yi’s tone carried a hint of disappointment.
“I’d have to ask. It might not be very convenient. I might not be able to look after you properly.”
Besides, Ling Xi had no idea how to introduce Song Yi to others.
Should she say this was her girlfriend?
That was impossible, no matter how she thought about it!
“Alright. Just contact me whenever you’re free.” Song Yi smoothly took out her phone.
“You must have a phone now that exams are over, right? Let’s add each other on WeChat?”
Ling Xi nodded, completely unaware that she was being played, happily scanning the code and adding Song Yi as a friend.
When setting the contact name, Ling Xi carefully typed “Sister Song.”
Then she changed the name for Ling Yue.
On this day, Ling Yue tragically lost her “sister” designation, downgraded to a simple “Yue.”
After the car started moving, Ling Xi stayed close to Song Yi, still holding her hand, and they sat in silence for a while.
Only when Song Yi moved her hand did Ling Xi realize something was wrong.
She sat up in a panic, trying to pull away.
Heavens, what had she been doing? How had she held Song Yi’s hand for so long?
Her palm was sweaty now!
But Song Yi just tightened her grip.
“Don’t you want to hold my hand?” She even leaned in closer, deliberately shortening the distance between them.
Ling Xi stared at her face, her throat suddenly too tight to speak.
She really adored Song Yi’s appearance.
Just one glance could leave her daydreaming for ages.
“No… Sister.” After thinking for a long while, Ling Xi decided to ask Song Yi directly.
There was no point agonizing over it alone.
As long as Song Yi didn’t think she was a creep, that was enough.
“Um, Sister. Can I tell you something?”
Seeing Ling Xi so serious, Song Yi found it a bit odd. “Of course, you can tell me anything.”
Song Yi rolled her eyes slightly and added, “But you’re not allowed to dislike me.”
Ling Xi shook her head vigorously.
“I, I just saw them kissing in the movie,” Ling Xi said, tugging at Song Yi’s sleeve.
“Can we… kiss too?” Her voice grew smaller with each word.
Only then did Song Yi realize Ling Xi wasn’t running a fever.
She was just so shy that her entire body had turned red and warm.
Her little girlfriend was truly adorable and pure.
“Of course,” Song Yi replied, brushing her hair behind her ear and leaning in slightly.
Just like the female lead in the movie they had just watched.
“Do you know how?” Song Yi teased, already knowing the answer.
Ling Xi, who had asked about kissing with such bashfulness, definitely didn’t.
Ling Xi shook her head.
Then, very earnestly, she added, “I can learn.”
“Then you’d better learn well,” Song Yi murmured, trailing her fingers down Ling Xi’s cheek.
She traced the soft fuzz on her skin, watching as Ling Xi’s bright eyes fluttered shut.
Not to mention, Song Yi was right beside her, their faces so close.
Ling Xi was practically speechless under the assault of such beauty.
Her gaze grew flustered, and when Song Yi pulled back slightly, Ling Xi instinctively followed.
“Song-jie, is this what I think it means?” She was still young, especially inexperienced in matters of the heart.
But she was also braver, voicing her thoughts outright.
Song Yi had planned to tease Ling Xi a little longer, perhaps nurture this adorable puppy herself.
She hadn’t expected Ling Xi to be so direct.
“What do you think it means?” The words slipped out, but Song Yi suddenly felt uncertain.
Ling Xi had only mustered that one burst of courage and now fell silent again.
Song Yi spoke honestly. “Also, Xiaoxi. Last year’s me and this year’s me are very different. You must have a lot of questions. Let’s get to know each other better first, and then you can decide, okay?”
“Oh…” Ling Xi let out a small, dejected sound.
“Don’t be sad. I didn’t reject you.”
Ling Xi nodded silently.
Half a minute later, she suddenly sat up. “I haven’t even confessed yet!”
Song Yi’s words had made it sound like she’d already been turned down.
Song Yi chuckled. “Right, you haven’t.”
But she understood what Ling Xi meant.
“Then, can I confess?” Ling Xi asked again as they neared the restaurant.
The girl really couldn’t hold back. Song Yi pinched her cheek.
“Don’t you want to wait a little longer?” She wasn’t sure Ling Xi had fully grasped what she’d just said.
Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined she’d meet the chairwoman of the country’s largest real estate group.
The revelation had hit her hard.
The same woman who had seemed so pitiful last year, playing with her, now stood untouchably high.
It felt like stumbling upon a lost princess in exile.
And she had just happened to help Song Yi.
Ling Xi stayed quiet for a long while until Song Yi poked her cheek.
“What’s wrong?” Song Yi’s own heart had been racing earlier.
She hadn’t been sure if Ling Xi could accept the changes in her.
Now, seeing Ling Xi’s reaction, she worried she might scare her off.
“Um…” Ling Xi suddenly felt the weight of what she’d just done and said to Song Yi.
“I didn’t approach you on purpose , no, I didn’t do it for your money, either.”
“Basically, I didn’t treat you well because I wanted your wealth.” Ling Xi finally managed to finish, swallowing hard.
“I know,” Song Yi laughed, charmed by Ling Xi’s innocence.
He must truly care about her as a person to explain this matter so promptly.
“Last year, I was in such dire straits. No one in my family dared to help or support me. Those who were after my money wouldn’t even spare me a simple ointment. Only you, spending your hard-saved pocket money to buy medicine and tend to my wounds. And you didn’t even know my true identity.” Song Yi finished speaking and ruffled Ling Xi’s head affectionately.
“Good girl. I know you have a heart of gold.”
Ling Xi felt warmth spread through her chest at these words. While happy, she couldn’t help thinking how terrible Song Yi’s family had been.
Shouldn’t family members support each other? What kind of behavior was this, only caring about personal gain?
Ling Xi took Song Yi’s hand. “So, Sister Song, does this mean I’ve hitched myself to a sugar mommy?”
