Once Upon A One Night Stand novel Chapter 156

They could rarely enjoy a meal together, but Shu Tian messed up. Thinking of it, Shu Tian was upset, especially when seeing Li Han standing here alone, she really felt guilty.

Shu Tian was straightforward and always showed her emotion easily. Seeing it, Li Han was heartbroken and pulled Shu Tian to his side. "Why did you walk away? They meant to trouble you. There's no need to blame yourself."

He would rather she complain to him after being wronged than see her take all the blame on herself.

Shu Tian was exhausted, with her body freezing cold. Too many things had happened on this single day and she was mixed with emotions. She had thought that she had sacrificed much after falling in love with him, but it was unexpected that Li Han would bear a lot as well.

Not every man would spare no efforts to protect his woman, but Li Han did it, making her guilty and sad.

Li Han grasped the woman's cold fingers tightly, as determined as his heart. "Everything will be fine. Take it easy. Leave it to me."

Shu Tian sniffed and nodded in agreement. "I know my past will be a burden to you, but Li Han, can you hold my hand? I'm really confused. If you want to let go, just tell me. I won't pester you."

Hearing it, Li Han's heart ached as if it had been hit hard. However, he held her hand even more tightly. "As long as you will, I will never let it go."

Shu Tian pressed her lips together and stopped crying after a while. Her voice trembled but she answered him firmly, "Okay."

Just as she finished speaking, Li Han suddenly bent down and gave her a kiss.

[...]

After the two elders of the Li family left Imperial Villa, Jiang Chujing had already received the news. At first, Li Wei hadn't planned to tell her the news but he told her because of Jiang Chujing's aggressive questioning.

Knowing that the two elders had met Shu Tian, Jiang Chujing became edgy, constantly imagining what they had said and done, and whether Shu Tian had got their recognition.

What if... Jiang Chujing shook her head. No, she would never allow it to happen!

Jiang Chujing had to take action.

Thinking of it, Jiang Chujing went upstairs and took out the private phone locked in the drawer. Not recovering from the shock, she almost fell to the ground.

Li Wei hurriedly stepped forward to help her, touching the back of her hand. It was the first time for Li Wei to get so close to her, his heart pounding. "Chujing, are you okay?"

Since the last time he had expressed his love, Li Wei had not called her Miss Jiang in private but called her Chujing.

Disgusted, Jiang Chujing quickly steadied her feet and withdrew her palm. "I'm fine."

After that, Chujing looked at Li Wei pleadingly, in a soft voice. "Help me get the phone on the bedside table in my bedroom."

Thinking that Chujing was so furious that she wanted to contact Shu Tian, Li Wei looked embarrassed. "Chujing, you know Mr. Li is my boss. I can't give you any information. If you contact Miss Shu now, I'm afraid I'll be exposed and won't be able to be with you..."

"Are you scared?" Jiang Chujing interrupted him, examining his evasive eyes. With contempt, she explained, "Don't worry. I'm not looking for Shu Tian. I'll contact someone else. You don't have to worry about exposing yourself."

"Chujing?" Seeing that she was silent, Li Wei called out to her worriedly.

Jiang Chujing came back to her senses and answered with a weak smile. "I'm fine. Maybe I haven't rested well recently. Don't worry. I'll call you if anything happens."

"Okay, I'll stay outside. Call me anytime."

"Well, please go out."

Li Wei walked out of the bedroom slowly. It was not until the door closed that Jiang Chujing took off all her disguise and dialed Jiang Mengyao's phone number with a cold face.

The phone was answered after a while. Jiang Mengyao said with excitement. "Hello? You finally contacted me..."

"Cut the crap. Now is the opportunity. Do you want to seize it?" Jiang Chujing was not in the mood to listen to the nonsense and got to the point.

Looking around at the heatable adobe sleeping platform and the dilapidated rural yard, Jiang Mengyao said fiercely and resentfully, "I have nothing now. I have to be careful not to be recognized and taken away by the police when I go out. As long as there is a chance, I will spare no effort to grasp it without your reminder."

Then, Jiang Mengyao paused, took out a box of cheap cigarettes from the pocket of her white pants, took a deep breath, and then laughed coldly. "Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

Jiang Chujing took a deep breath and clenched the quilt tightly, twisting the quilt. She gritted her teeth and said, "Li Han's grandparents went to Imperial Villa today. Shu Tian has already met them, so we have to take action. I have also stayed in this lousy place for a long time. It's time to meet her!"
