Sweet Love 1V1: Spoiled by The Executive

Hearing about the child that he lost six years ago, Ling Tao hesitated.

Qu Wan noticed that Ling Tao's face softened. Being married to him for so many years, Qu Wan knew very well that Ling Tao was an impressionable and indecisive man. That lost child was a great pain in his heart, but also a source of guilt to her. To bring up that child was a guaranteed way to shake him.

That child had become a weapon Qu Wan liked to use against Ling Tao.

Ling Tianya also recognized that impression on her father's face. It was obvious that he was not going to press Qu Wan further on the matter…

"Just get up now. The floor is too cold for your weak body." Ling Tao said. He didn't want to see his wife be so vulnerable, after all, she never really recovered from the miscarriage years ago.

Hearing that, Ling Yuqing hurried over and helped Qu Wan up.

Barely holding herself up, Qu Wan still couldn't stop crying, "Tao, I know I made a mistake. It was my fault and I shouldn't have done that, but I don't want to go to jail. You have to help me when the police come…"

It just hit Ling Tao that Ling Tianya was talking about going to the police. Not wanting anyone else to hear him, he lowered his voice and said to Ling Tinaya, "Yaya, your Auntie made a terrible mistake back then and she had just lost a baby. We all know what happened to that baby, so why don't we just drop all this? When the police come, how about you just tell them that it's all a big misunderstanding? Tell them that you remembered things wrong…"

Ling Tao sounded like he was negotiating, but his voice was quite stern, "It's not a big deal. Let Daddy help you handle everything and make sure it all goes away, okay?"

"Not okay!" Ling Tianya refused instantly.

Ling Tao was shocked by her answer. "Ling Tianya!"

"Father, you disappoint me!" Ling Tianya looked straight into Ling Tao's eyes.

"Yaya, Daddy is just …" Ling Tao was struggling to find the right words.

"Alright, that's it!" Ling Tianya interrupted Ling Tao. She then turned to Qu Wan and spoke the words, "I didn't call the police. I made the whole thing up."

What?!

Everyone looked bamboozled. Ling Tianya didn't go to the police?

"Actually, I haven't been back for very long and only just learned this rumor about me. I did some research, but the best I could find out was that Huang Dawei owed ten million dollars to a loan shark six years ago. I decided to test my luck and make up a story. Who knew it happened to be the correct one?" Ling Tianya looked at Qu Wan, eyes full of mockery.

So…any regret?

Never in a million years had Qu Wan guessed that Ling Tianya was making everything up. She had absolutely no evidence, no police report, nothing. It was all just a trick to make Qu Wan give up the truth!

At that point, the birthday party was officially over. Having had enough bad publicity for his family, Ling Tao started asking the guests to leave.

"Leave? We're not leaving. You've got your scores settled, but the Li Family hasn't got the answers we came here for!" said Zhang Li. "Even though Ling Tianya didn't take the money, she did run off without even a word! Her behaviour hurt my son's feelings, and she needs to answer for that!"

"What do you want then?" Ling Tao was obviously tired of the Li Family and their relentless hassling.

"It's simple. Yaya and I were engaged to get married. I'm willing to ignore everything that happened and accept her back as my fiancee." Li Chengfeng said enthusiastically. He almost drooled all over Ling Tianya, what a beauty!

Nobody was expecting to hear that from Li Chenfeng. Ling Tianya furrowed her brow while Ling Tao wished that he never had to deal with the Li Family again.

On the other hand, Madam Ling and Ling Qi were not against the idea. The two were in fact engaged back in the day; they even took engagement photos.

All of a sudden, Ling Tao's assistant ran over to him with great urgency, "Sir, Mr. Ruan is here!"

"Mr. Ruan?" It took Ling Tao a few seconds to process, "Which Mr. Ruan?"

"Mr. Ruan Zeyan!"

"Mr. Ruan!" Ling Tao's voice shot up. He thought the Ruan Family had sent presents as a token, mostly because of their relationship with the Guan Family. He never would expect to see anyone from the Ruan Family actually show up, let alone Ruan Zeyan himself! "Please show him in!"
