Chapter 820 I Am Here, She Is Here

It was so dangerous that he almost sold his daughter.

"No more, no more," Chief Xia pushed the chessboard, "If you continue to play, you will be plotting against me."

Li Lei smiled shamelessly: "Look at what you said, you are so wise and wise, how could you do this? Dad, please marry Xiao Ling to me. She and I are in love, and we are a perfect match."

Chief Xia shook his head and said, "If I gave her to you easily, your mother and your brother could break me up, pack her up separately, and bury her in the fields as fertilizer."

Your mother and your brother——

So, did Clan Chief Xia recognize his prospective son-in-law? Although he has not yet agreed to their marriage, classmate Li Xiaolei is already very happy to admit that he is one of his family members.

It seems that this move was not in vain.

He said to Patriarch Xia diligently: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Whether we are married or not, I will play chess with you."

"Okay," Chief Xia became happy again, "Let's play another round!"

The black and white chess pieces returned to their respective formations. Although Patriarch Xia's chess skills were poor, he prided himself on being a master, so Li Lei took the white piece and moved first. Li Lei pretended to think deeply, but in fact he casually said, "Dad, it's your turn."

Xia Clan Chief Heizi followed.

The two had been fighting for several games and were already familiar with each other. Chief Xia asked casually while playing chess: "Boy from the Li family, tell me about Xiao Ling's past. How did you meet?" After so many years, he has not been able to accompany Xia. Ling's growth has always been a great regret for Patriarch Xia as a father.

Li Lei paused: "I fell in love with her...at first sight."

Speaking of his beloved woman, Li Lei's voice became very soft: "At that time, she had just been reborn from nirvana. She looked silly, no, cute, and very..."

"What?" Clan Chief Xia asked.

"Very..." Li Lei thought for a while, searching for the right words in his mind, "Very melancholy, no, not melancholy. At that time, her eyes were very cold, and her whole body exuded a feeling of being unfriendly to strangers. She has a temperament, but I don’t know why, I just feel that she is fragile, and I want to get close to her and protect her.”

Patriarch Xia narrowed his eyes and said in an unpredictable tone: "I heard that you only wanted to keep her as your lover."

Li Lei smiled awkwardly. He didn't expect good things to go out, and bad things to spread thousands of miles. He obviously did that matter very low-key... But, that's right. With the strength of the Xia family, how could it not be found out? He said: "Dad, please listen to my explanation. As a man...hehe. Besides, I was led astray by those gangsters I used to be."

Patriarch Xia asked: "Really?"

"It's absolutely true! It's more real than real gold!" Li Xiaolei vowed, "If I hadn't been influenced by those gang of friends, how could I have done such a bastard thing? Look at the one named Jin Yifei, oh, and Du Yunfeng, all of them Even now, they are all hugging each other, and I change women faster than I change clothes! As for me, I have never fooled around with them since I met Xiao Ling! When I go back this time, I will teach them to change their evil ways and return to the right way!"

Thousands of miles away, Young Master Du and Young Master Jin both sneezed inexplicably.

Patriarch Xia admired Li Lei more than anything else. He was unambiguous when it came to his daughter: "Don't play tricks on me. Tell me, why did you plan to pursue Xiao Ling seriously?"

Li Lei said: "Because I can't get a lover... Oh no, no, no, dad, don't be angry, I mean, because I later discovered that she is really a very good girl, worthy of my pursuit with all my heart." . I’m even willing to give her my life, so what’s the status? As long as she wants it, as long as I can do it, everything is hers.”

Chief Xia nodded slowly. Although this boy was a little cunning, he was really sincere towards Xiao Ling. They have experienced so many twists and turns and tests together, and their fates have long been integrated and they have become indistinguishable from each other.

"The phoenix flies in the sky." Chief Xia suddenly said.

Li Lei looked at him without knowing what was going on.

Chief Xia said: "The wind soars above the nine heavens. It is gorgeous and arrogant. In other words, it is too eye-catching. Do you know why Xiao Ling was not able to stay together with Pei Ziheng in her previous life?"

Li Lei shook his head.

Patriarch Xia said: "Because Pei Ziheng is a dragon and flies in the sky. Together, they can only live in legends and in the eyes of everyone. She can never fall to the ground. Once she lands, she will die."

"What is landing?" Li Lei asked.

Patriarch Xia looked at him: "Life, living, daily necessities, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea. Giving birth to children while cheating on certificates, fading the aura of career lows, attracting people's jealousy... too many, these are all in vain. Any one thing can destroy her. "

Li Lei remained silent. How could a person's life only be glamorous but not fulfilled?

"Once the phoenix takes off, it cannot land." Patriarch Xia picked up a chess piece and dropped it slowly on the chessboard. "Actually, I am very grateful to Pei Ziheng for protecting her for more than ten years and allowing her to grow. Grow enough to be reborn in Nirvana. Has Mo Yan ever told you that Xiao Ling is the only one among the many phoenixes in the Xia family that has successfully achieved Nirvana? There are too many phoenixes that have no strength to continue flying and fall before they grow up. .

"Meeting Pei Ziheng is a blessing for Xiao Ling."

Li Lei's voice was a little bitter: "I always thought that he was her... Jie."

"Yes, and no." Patriarch Xia said inscrutably, "Every relationship has its causes and consequences. Young man of the Li family, cherish your relationship with Xiao Ling. The wind soars above the nine heavens. If you don't live on a tree, you can't live there." The only one who can let her down to rest is you, and you have to protect her.

"Otherwise, maybe one day, she won't be able to resist the temptation of the sky and fly away with the dragon."

Li Lei raised his eyes: "You said that she can't fall to the ground when they are together. Only I can give her happiness."

Patriarch Xia said: "Who knows? In her last life, she flew for sixteen years before she died. In this life, she will be freer and stronger after Nirvana. Maybe she can fly for twenty years? Fifty years? One hundred years? Li family boy, don't think you With the beauty in your arms, everything is safe and sound. You have to be good to Xiao Ling, you know?"

Li Lei nodded cautiously and promised: "I am here, and she is here."

Only then did Chief Xia smile happily again, and the two continued to play chess.

Over there, Mrs. Xia took Xia Ling to the room specially cleaned by her. The room was clean, hung with crystal curtains, and the silk satin bedding had a faint floral fragrance.

Mrs. Xia smiled and said to her: "From the first time I saw you in the news photos, I felt that you are suitable for such a room. It has been waiting for its owner all these years."

"I like it very much, thank you mom." Xia Ling wasn't lying. Mother and daughter have surprisingly similar tastes.

They chatted easily and casually, talking about their respective experiences over the years, and they were worthy of being mother and daughter. There was no barrier between them. They chatted, sometimes cried and sometimes laughed, and lost track of time.

Little Shaohui opened the door at some point and came in: "Mom, grandma."

The child climbed onto Xia Ling's knees using both hands and feet.
