There was no other choice but to swallow this bitter pill. Tommy Tan immediately walked away, his face burning red with shame.Meanwhile, Ling Er Tan began to feel completely torn. How could this happen?! Had she now been sold to the arrogant man she had been avoiding all this time? How could someone she had hated for so long help her and even “buy” her for ten billion, while that huge amount of money had already been transferred to the bastard who had almost taken her away?Is my life really over now? Even if I worked for a lifetime, I would never be able to repay such an amount. What will happen to me? Ling Er Tan thought silently, as her head started to feel dizzy and a sudden pain attacked her chest.“Thank you for saving my sister’s life,” Long Er said, smiling slightly at the corners of his lips.“Oh? Do I look that old?” Bara replied, looking displeased.“N-no, no. Then I’ll call you Big Brother, yes… Brother-in-law, isn’t it? That’s right?” Long Er said happily, because he kne

“Hmm,” Ling Er Tan murmured, swallowing her saliva repeatedly, only to realize that she had forgotten to fasten her safety harness.Fortunately. Congratulations, Ling Er Tan thought as she took a deep breath.Bara then leaned back quietly and began to drive slowly. Meanwhile, Long Er had already closed the door of his shop.During the trip, both of them remained silent. Let alone talking, even her breathing became very careful. Meanwhile, Bara had long been accustomed to maintaining silence like that.“So, where are we going?” At last, a question escaped Ling Er Tan’s small lips, as her eyes caught sight of a road she felt she had never passed through before.“Go home.”“G–go home? Go home to where?!” Ling Er Tan was surprised as she continued staring at the road along which Bara’s car was moving.Bara simply stayed silent and did not answer her question at all, making Ling Er Tan even more curious, but she did not dare to ask again.When the car arrived and the gate opened automatica

“My name is Ling Er Tan. Just call me Sis Ling,” Ling Er Tan said as she squatted down to be at the same level as Bellyca.“Sis Ling, why are you here?” Bellyca asked again.“Hmm? Oh, that… um, Sis Ling…” Ling Er Tan looked awkward and couldn’t answer Bellyca’s question.“Does Bellyca like it if Sis Ling stays here, to play with Bellyca and take Bellyca to school later?” Bara asked, now sitting on his bed, watching the interaction between his daughter and Ling Er Tan.“I like it, Bellyca likes it! Hooray!” Bellyca shouted, jumping up and down happily.“Then now Bellyca takes a bath with Sis Ling, and then changes into nice clothes, because soon we will go out for a walk,” Bara said as he got off the bed.“Come on, Sis Ling! Let’s go to Bellyca’s room. Come on!” Bellyca said excitedly.“O–okay,” Ling Er Tan replied, surprised by Bellyca’s sudden enthusiasm, as the little girl immediately pulled her hand and dragged her out of Bara’s room.Bara silently watched his daughter leave with L

Bara immediately put on his seatbelt and started the car slowly. Bara looked very focused on driving his car and just stayed silent without speaking a word as usual.“Sis, what’s wrong with Sis Ling’s hand?” asked Bellyca while pointing at Ling Er Tan’s arm which looked bluish-red.This must be because of the clutches of that bastard last night. Ouch, why is it colored like this, thought Ling Er Tan as she just realized it.“No, it’s fine.”“But why is it like this?” asked Bellyca, looking very innocent.“Mmuah!” Ling Er Tan, who was confused about what to say, just smiled, then kissed the top of Bellyca’s head while hugging her tightly.“Doesn’t it hurt?” asked Bellyca again.“No.”Bellyca seemed to be groping the bruises on Ling Er Tan’s arms while blowing on them.“Daddy’s usually like that, he said so he wouldn’t get sick anymore. Isn’t that right, Dad?” said Bellyca very innocently, making Bara turn instantly to his daughter.“Yes,” said Bara with a flat smile, then focused back

"Well, that’s that then. Come on in," Bara said quietly, without the high-pitched tone that was always attached to every word he said to Ling Er Tan.Ling Er Tan immediately circled the car while wiping her tears with the back of her hand, then immediately opened the front car door and sat there directly.Bara, who was already sitting behind the wheel, immediately put on his seatbelt and started the car slowly. Their car seemed to be driving slowly and headed towards a restaurant. After parking the car, the embers seemed to get out of the car and went straight into the restaurant without saying anything to Ling Er Tan.Ling Er Tan just silently watched the embers leave, then immediately turned to the back and tried to reach her hand to feel the face of Bellyca, who was still fast asleep back there."Sorry, Bell, Sis Ling has messed up your day," said Ling Er Tan as she continued to feel the very smooth, cute face, then sat back down facing the front.“Hikss … hikss … hikss,” came a wh
