Chapter 1284 Red Spider Lily Heather (308)

If he weren’t so selfish, he should wish for her to suffer a little less and be relieved from this cruel world sooner.

But he is just that selfish.

The longer she stays, the more she has to suffer.

Even though he knows she’ll have to endure a lot, he still doesn’t want to let her go, wanting her to stay by his side even for just one more second.

He hopes that maybe the heavens will have mercy on her and give her a chance to survive.

Looking at Li Sinian, Gu Liancheng sighed and said, "I know, Heather has suffered a lot, from childhood until now, and recently too. We have a saying, ’after hardship comes happiness,’ the suffering is almost over, perhaps hope is just around the corner."

"Let’s go."

Gu Liancheng drove, Qianxun sat in the passenger seat, while Li Sinian and Heather sat in the back seat.

Heather was still quite weak, after all that had happened, she looked as fragile as a delicate flower, no longer like her former self.

If someone were meeting her for the first time, they would never think she was once a top-tier assassin, they would just think she’s a normal woman.

"If you’re tired, take a nap." Li Sinian held her, speaking as if fearing even the slightest sound might break something, gently and softly.

"No, it’s not much longer till we reach the dock, and we still need to transfer."

The Maldives is really too small.

Qianxun occasionally turned back to look, smiling warmly.

Heather saw her and held Li Sinian’s arm, teasingly said, "Don’t say anything. You think I don’t know it’s only because Fourth Master is driving that you can’t show off your affection? We’re all the same, so swallow your complaints."

"Can’t compete with you," Qianxun stuck out her tongue at her, "we got tired of showing off a long time ago, we don’t love doing it anymore."

"Don’t let me catch you two being lovey-dovey later, it’ll hurt a lot to get slapped in the face." Heather smiled lightly.

She grasped Li Sinian’s hand, touching the empty spot of his left pinky, and a flash of pain crossed her eyes.

Clutching his hand, she leaned closer into his embrace, her voice somber: "Why are you so foolish?"

Li Sinian felt her touching something and thus knew what she was talking about, but he pretended not to understand: "You’re the only one brave enough to call me foolish, do you know what happened to the last person who said that to me?"

"I don’t know..." Heather looked up at him with a smile, "What will happen to me? Will it be tragic?"

"Yes," he lightly tapped her nose, "you’ll feel it once we get to Xicheng."

"Oh dear..." Qianxun hugged her arms, "Can you two stop... Are we invisible or what? Honey, let’s just get out first, let them settle their old and new scores properly, and not bring them to Xicheng, what do you say?"

Gu Liancheng joked along, "Wife, that’s a good idea, could be practical. Mr. Li, Miss Hai, perhaps we should give you an hour to properly sort it out? Will an hour be enough?"

Glancing at the rearview mirror.

"An hour’s not enough! Two hours, take your time, don’t worry about missing the flight, just change to the next one in six hours, of course, lunch money is on you."

"Sure, sure," Li Sinian said nonchalantly, "I’ll cover the whole trip if needed."
