Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 853

Judging by what just happened, Ximena forced herself to calm her senses. The only thing she cared about was getting out of Master Tiger's clutches. As long as that deal was still on the table, she would gladly deal with whatever consequences that would come at her.

"Get out of my sight," Aaron ordered. Although his voice had the timbre of an unforgiving tyrant, to Ximena, his voice was deep and charismatic like that of a prince.

The man on the floor, relieved by Aaron's display of mercy, staggered up to his trembling feet somehow and quickly urged the beefy man," Let's get out of here..."

The beefy man, who no longer had a grasp on the situation, let go of Ximena's hand and helped his friend stay on his feet. Before long, he noticed the lightening symbol engraved on Ken's gun as well. Almost immediately, his face turned pale and his jaw dropped to the floor.

QY Island had both government officials and their illegal counterparts. In the legal world, everyone knew the Leng Family, while, in the underworld, everyone recognized the lighting logo, a symbol that could send tremors in the hearts of men and women alike.

Watching Master Tiger's lackeys walk away with their tails tucked firmly between their legs, came as a shock to her, but she didn't have time to think about that right now. At the moment, she was just glad to be rid of them. Due to extreme hunger and the stressful incident she had just been through, a feeling of exhaustion came over her. Lacking the strength to carry on, she fell to her knees before collapsing on the ground.

She was baffled that despite her distress, Aaron and Ken didn't offer to help her. Neither of them had a trace of sympathy on their faces.

"About that thing in your hand, who did you get that from?" Aaron asked in a cold voice, throwing an indifferent glance at Ximena who was sitting on the wet ground.

It was nothing short of a miracle that she managed to keep holding on to that thing in her hand. Even though she didn't have the strength to keep herself standing, she still held onto it, as though her life depended on it. But what was it? And why were they concerned about it?

Only when they mentioned it, that she realized it was still in her hands, safe and sound.

It looked like a seal carved out of jade stone, decorated with stylized crystal. Meanwhile, it also looked like an ordinary piece of ornament. At first glance, it seemed nothing out of the ordinary.

As Ximena looked at the unharmed jade seal in her hand, a smile formed at the corners of her lips. She rolled back over and staggered to her feet, much to the protest of her weakness and said," This is my personal belonging. I don't think I need to tell you anything more." She paused to catch her breath and then continued," But, thank you for saving my life just now."

"You didn't think my help was free, did you?" Aaron sneered as he figured out what Ximena was thinking.

"Don't worry! I don't expect any less," said Ximena, seemingly dauntless.

Aaron's eyes suddenly grew sharp and cold, concealing the bloodthirsty wolf that lived in his heart. "Take her away."

"Yes!" Ken nodded in affirmation, almost immediately as if he was expecting Aaron to say that. Whether this woman had anything to do with the Leng Family or not, she had the jade seal of Leng Family in her hand... Taking that into consideration, his Highness, Aaron knew she had to be of some importance.

Ximena gritted her teeth and her mind scrambled to find excuses. Just as Ken was about to take her away, she shouted at Aaron," I know the third son of the Leng family. Since you've saved my life, I am certain that he will grant any request you make to him." Her heart began to beat violently as she was telling a big lie. Yet, she continued," You can put forward any request to him, and he...he will definitely say yes."

Despite her bold remark, Aaron stood there without the slightest bit of change in his facial expression. Ximena tried to look for something, but she couldn't trace any emotion on his well-sculpted face. "Of course, we should go and find him then," said Aaron. The left side of his faint red lip tugged upwards creating a sinister smirk on his god-like face; casting a spell of chill to eyes that dared to look his way.

"Your Highness, you..." Ken was about to say something.

"I'll go first," Aaron said abruptly, interrupting Ken's words. After throwing a glance at Ximena, he held up the black umbrella and went on walking into the drizzling night, leaving behind a half-burned cigarette on the ground... to be devoured by the rain, eventually.

Ximena's face contorted in shock, and as she watched Aaron walk away without a word, her mouth opened so wide, she could swallow a whole baseball. It wasn't until this moment... that she realized why Master Tiger's men were so afraid of him.

"Your Highness", as the master of QY Island's underworld, was as mysterious as the third young master of Leng Family. His origins were shrouded in mystery.

"All right." Deep down Molly was jumping with joy to find him so concerned about their baby. But on the outside, she kept an indifferent expression on her face.

"I don't want him or her to get hurt at all. I just want him or her to come to the world safely, you know..."

"All right." Still happy inside, but indifferent outside.

Then Brian went on talking about the baby.

However, no matter what he said, she simply answered," All right."

Brian kept going on and on about the baby as if it wasn't already obvious to Molly that he was trying to persuade her. As a result, Molly just kept nodding and saying "all right" to everything he said.

After a while, when Brian was convinced that he had sweet-talked Molly enough, he felt it was time to tell her what he really wanted to tell her. "So I think it would be best for the baby if you just stayed at home, right? I promise you that I'll be right back as soon as I finish my work. It shouldn't take me long anyway."

"No! Mom said that you need to be with the baby all the time." Not the answer Brian was expecting. In fact, she refused him without a second thought or hesitation. She looked at Brian, and said thoughtfully and considerately," I have no other choice but to follow mom's request. I don't mind accompanying you to see today's training program."

Brian was at a loss, sulking like a spoiled brat. He felt as though he had wasted his time trying to persuade his wife for nothing.

'My god! Shirley, look at what you have done to me!'
