Chapter 211

"Lingyu!" As soon as the man in sunglasses approached, He Lele smelled a pungent odor. Seeing the man in sunglasses take a glass bottle out of his chest, she hurriedly grabbed Ren Lingyu.

Seeing that the two had dodged the attack, the man in sunglasses threw the bottle and came to grab Ren Lingyu. Ren Lingyu crouched down and bumped upward, hitting the man in sunglasses directly on the chin. The man in sunglasses screamed and retreated repeatedly. The two hurriedly took the opportunity to run, but after running a few steps, they found that several suspicious people with bad intentions had appeared on both sides and were chasing them, and they were about to catch up—

He Lele suddenly stopped, turned around, and stared at the people chasing them.

"Lele!" Ren Lingyu shouted anxiously.

Just as Ren Lingyu shouted, He Lele raised her right arm and waved it at the people a few times, and screams erupted!

Liming Law Firm.

After receiving Ren Lingyu's call, Li Yiquan rushed to the firm at the fastest speed. Looking at He Lele, who had gauze on her left hand and gauze on her right arm on the sofa in the lounge, Li Yiquan only felt his heart trembling.

"What happened?"

"Master, it must be the people hired by Hong×Yuan Real Estate! A few days ago, after the lawsuit was over, they were clamoring for revenge!" Being a lawyer was a high-risk profession, and Ren Lingyu had long been prepared, but seeing that He Lele was implicated, she wanted to swallow those bastards alive! "They actually threw sulfuric acid! And they wanted to grab us. Fortunately, Lele carried anti-wolf spray with her! Otherwise..."

"How do you feel now?" Squatting beside He Lele, Li Yiquan's classical, handsome phoenix eyes were filled with gentle concern.

He Lele looked down at the gauze on her left hand and looked up at his eyes calmly. "It's okay, just a few drops splashed on me, I didn't even feel pain at the time."

After reporting to the police, Li Yiquan said he would send them home. He Lele didn't refuse; she knew that if she refused, Lingyu wouldn't be at ease.

After sending Lingyu, He Lele still got into the back seat.

Li Yiquan hesitated for a moment while holding the car door next to the driver's seat, then let go and opened the back door to get in.

Looking at Li Yiquan in surprise, He Lele felt a little panic.

"I came from the mountains, bringing orchid grass, planted in a small garden, hoping it would bloom well. I look at it three times a day, hoping for the time it blooms, worrying the flower-watcher, not even a bud. Seeing autumn arrive, I move the flower home, next spring the breeze returns, wishing you a pot full of flowers!"

"..." He was reciting Hu Shi's original poem "Orchid Grass." The gentle tone and the just-right cadence made this fresh little poem sound like a lingering love poem, making her heart beat uncontrollably.

"This poem is originally called 'Hope.' Can you tell me why... you are hiding from me?"

Hope, hope. She only knew that the lyrics of "Orchid Grass" came from Hu Shi's poem, but she really didn't know the poem was originally called "Hope." "I am not hiding from you, I just think we have no special reason to meet."

"...Hong×Yuan has a background in the underworld, and they are vengeful. You got involved this time, so you are not safe until the matter is resolved. Therefore, during this time, if you want to go out, someone must pick you up and accompany you."

He Lele thought for a moment. "I know, thank you for the reminder."

Staring at her little face that was deliberately distant, Li Yiquan watched for a long time before returning to the driver's seat and driving her home.

Along the way, her singing accompanied him, but this time, there was no live harmony from her.

The next day, Monday, the day of the Xin× meeting.

Bringing all the anti-wolf tools, He Lele took a deep breath and opened the door. As she closed the door, the sound of a door opening came from behind.

He Lele hesitated for a moment and looked back.

Ji Jie moved his lips and finally squeezed out one word—"Morning." Actually, he had been waiting since early morning, waiting for the sound of her door!

"..." Why was he still living here? "Morning."

Ji Jie made a gesture for He Lele to go downstairs first. He Lele didn't decline and went downstairs on her own.

"That—" Following behind He Lele, Ji Jie stammered for a long time.

He Lele glanced at his look like an abandoned puppy, feeling indescribably awkward, and her pace quickened a bit, but the slender figure leaning against the wall downstairs made her stop abruptly.

Ji Jie, who was following behind, couldn't react in time and bumped into her, scaring him so much that he hurriedly hugged her waist and twisted his body to let his back fall toward the stairs. However, the expected pain didn't come; his shoulders and waist were supported by someone. Ji Jie looked back—

Li Yiquan?

*Cough cough*~~ The question is~~~~ Who were those anti-wolf tools of Lele's prepared for? Hehehehe~~~

Love you all!!

☆, (7 Fresh Coins) Chapter 228: Shy My Head

After the two stood firm, Li Yiquan withdrew his hands and looked up at the two on the stairs.

"Morning. Mr. Ji also lives here?"

Although the crisis had been resolved, Ji Jie still held He Lele's waist without letting go, staring at Li Yiquan with a hint of doubt and even more vigilance.

"Thank you, Lawyer Li. Lawyer Li... wouldn't happen to live here too, would he?"

Li Yiquan smiled lightly, glanced at He Lele's waist, "...I live nearby." As he spoke, he stepped aside to make way.

"Then let's talk another day." Ji Jie said perfunctorily, hugged He Lele, and walked out of the building.

He Lele looked back and didn't see Li Yiquan come out, so she stopped and looked down at her waist with a cold expression.
