After Dugu Xiao left with a hint of anger, Chu Tianye’s little eyes repeatedly glanced at Leng Ling. He suddenly spoke up, “Aunt Leng Ling, do you like Uncle Dugu Xiao?”

Upon hearing this, Leng Ling hesitated for a moment and instinctively denied, “How could that be? No, absolutely not!”

Her triple denial only made her seem even more guilty.

Chu Tianye retorted, “If you don’t like him, why do you look so guilty?”

Leng Ling replied, “I’m not guilty at all. You’re just a three-year-old kid, what do you understand?”

Three-Years-Old Chu, blinked his eyes and said, “I’m six years old!”

After saying this, he looked at Chu Cichen. Surprisingly, the father who usually prevented him from saying such things didn’t stop him this time, indicating that his actions were in line with his father’s expectations! 𝚋𝚎𝚍𝚗𝚘𝚟ｅｌ.ｃ𝚘𝚖

Chu Tianye was delighted, knowing that the opportunity to revert to being six years old and no longer tormented had come. He immediately said, “Aunt Leng Ling, if you like someone, you should be brave and pursue them. 1 can see that Uncle Dugu likes you too!”

Leng Ling instinctively refuted, “How could that be? He likes someone else.”

After saying this, Leng Ling glanced at Shen Ruojing.

Shen Ruojing, however, didn’t realize the implication and asked in surprise, “He likes someone? Who?”

She thought she and Dugu Xiao had always had a brotherly, comrade-like relationship and had never considered that Dugu Xiao might like her.

Leng Ling fell silent and finally said, “It’s definitely not me.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Ruojing understood what was going on. She looked at Leng Ling and asked, “Do you really like Dugu Xiao?”

Do you like him?

Leng Ling clenched her fists.

Her young infatuation was with the boy she used to like.

When Dugu Xiao first joined the Dark Web organization, he was stubborn and often clashed with her father. At that time, her father valued Dugu Xiao more, even saying to her, “I’ll hand over the Dark Web Organization to Dugu Xiao. How about you marry him?”

“I won’t!”

Young Leng Ling coldly refused, but from then on, her gaze could never leave the young man.

Watching him train in the heavy rain, worrying about him during every mission, witnessing his growth, and seeing that he was about to become the leader of the Dark Web, but then suddenly “518” appeared.

Although “518” was a woman, she was formidable, possessed leadership qualities, and had personal charm. More people in the Dark Web admired “518” than Dugu Xiao. Even Dugu Xiao himself gradually became impressed by her.

At that time, Leng Ling was a bit anxious, fearing that Dugu Xiao wouldn’t inherit the leadership of the Dark Web if “518” was around…

Young Leng Ling was entangled in the joys and sorrows of secret admiration.

Later on…

Dugu Xiao set up an explosion, and “518” died.

But Leng Ling was deeply disappointed in him.

She hated Dugu Xiao.

Because what she admired most about Dugu Xiao was that, despite his stern exterior, he was a person with strong moral principles.

People like them were not entirely black or white, and those who could maintain their integrity in the dark were rare.

Dugu Xiao was one of them.

Unfortunately, he eventually let her down.

For many years, she hadn’t shown a good face to Dugu Xiao. Others thought she was standing up for “518” and seeking revenge for her, but only Leng Ling knew that her unease had nothing to do with that.

She was angry because Dugu Xiao had changed.

In the past, Dugu Xiao should have been forced by her father to set up that explosion, as only one of them could be the successor.

Dugu Xiao designed that explosion to prove to his father and his mother that he was not as good as “518.” However, he didn’t expect “518” to die in the explosion.

Since then, his personality changed drastically.

And that time she tried to assassinate him, was it also intentional on Dugu Xiao’s part?

He loved “518” deeply and couldn’t accept the fact that he caused her death. He wanted to die and decided to die by his own hands, so when she tried to kill him, he didn’t react. Instead, he exploded with anger when she wanted to let go-

The ten lashes were not punishment for her attempted assassination, but for her failure to carry it out.

Leng Ling lowered her eyes.

She knew very well how much Dugu Xiao liked Shen Ruojing. So, this secret crush of hers was destined to remain a secret crush..
