Chapter 10 (Part 3)

"Senior Luo, I am sincere about Bing’er and I hope that you can give us your blessings." Dong Fang Ling cupped his hands in salute, but his polite tone had a hint of persistence. 

Two days ago, when Binger disappeared from the Fang House, he had forced himself to calm down, after repeatedly trying to think of who this man could be, he finally it was Binger"s father, Deft Thief Luo Xuan. Only this time, instead of an object, he took away a person.

Because Bing’er was seriously injured, he had speculated that Luo Xuan could not have left too far and was still residing in Luoyang city. In order to find them, he had sent people to question every inn, no matter big or small and finally he found the lodge where the the others had said, an old man and a injured girl was seen entering two days ago.

Upon receiving the news, Dong Fang Ling rushed to the inn. It had turned out that his guess was correct, as it really was Deft Thief Luo Xuan who had taken Bing’er.

"Did you terminate your marriage with the Fang House?" Luo Xua’s sharp eyes looked at the man in front of him, bluntly sizing him up. Just as he had acquired from Luoyang City, from the information, it was true, he had to admit that Dong Fang Ling was indeed a remarkable, extraordinary man, no wonder why Bing’er would be attracted to him.

"Yes." Dong Fang Ling picked up his brows, it seems that Luo Xuan had already inquired about him.

"Even if you have annul your marriage, I still will not give Bing’er to you, leave now." After his words had fallen, and he stepped out the door.

"Why? Senior." Dong Fang Ling’s tall stature flashed. He moved to the door, it seemed as if Luo Xuan was dissatisfied with him. But he could not leave empty-handed today.

"The reason is very simple. That reason is: I do not want my daughter to marry you. Is that clear?" Luo Xuan was caught of gaurd for a second. This kid was not simple, he was well versed in martial arts. Moreover, when he had heard his words of refusal, he was actually able to remain calm. He only slightly narrowed his black pupil, and with his whole body which exuded killing intent, it did scare him a bit.

But he will not change his mind, how dare he covert for his precious daughter... 

"I and Binger had already formed the fruit of our relationship." (Meaning: They had intercourse)

Dong Fang Ling maintained his calm, he understood that he is deliberately making things difficult, but he still indifferently said it. 

As if a lighting struck at Luo Xuan’s head, after shock, he burst into rage. Without a second thought, he aimed his palm, intending to strike at Dong Fang Ling.

"You despicable--! How dare you make a move to my daughter? You are seeking death!"

Dong Fang Ling did not return his attack, placing his hands to his back, he easily dodged. 

Seeing this, Luo Xuan became furious. 

"Bing’er and I truly care for each other, and I seek senior to give us your blessing." 

"Enough of your words, when Bing’er recovers, I will take her back to the mountains, do not expect to see her again.”

Luo Xuan put down his hands, even though this kid was not raising his hands at him, he was already tired. And if he did, he knew he was not his opponent, although he admired his strength, it does not change his decision.

"Senior Luo, even if Binger’s wound recovers, her body still needs some time to rest. If you were to immediately leave after her wound heals, with such a long and tiring trip back, wouldn"

t it cause more harm than good? Please reconsider.”

Dong Fang Ling’s face sank, no longer able to keep his temper. He could not let Bing’er disappear from his eyes again. Seeing Luo Xuan"s att.i.tude was resolute, even if he had to use force, we would take back Bing’er today!

Seeing Dong Fang Ling’s face finally change, Luo Xuan laughed. He knew this kid could not hold his calm facade any longer, it seemed he had really pushed him.

"Fine! Seeing that you really do care for her, I will leave Bing’er in your care. I will come back three months later to check on her, if I see my daughter happy and healthy, I will grant this marriage. "

As the words fell, Luo Xuan turned and left with a smile on his face. He had finally found a suitable husband for his daughter. He believed that even his wife in heaven would be happy with this arrangement.

"Thank you senior for your blessing." Dong Fang Ling voiced out his words of grat.i.tude. With a cool gust of wind did he let out a joyful smile.

--

When Binger woke up again, scanning the room, she noticed she was no longer in the inn with their simple furniture. Then it came to her in a shock: isn’t this Dong Fang Ling"s bedroom? How did she return to Dong Fang House?

With that thought, Bing’er struggled to get up, but with such a reckless move, she had touched her wounded area which lead to a onset of intense pain. Letting out a crey, she fell back onto the bed.

“Bing’er your awake! That’s great! I will call in young master!” Xiao Qing had walked in carefully carrying a bowl of medicine, seeing Bing’er had woken up she randomly placed the tonic onto a table and turned around to report. 

"Xiao Qing..." Binger sighed, it seems she could only wait for Dong Fang Ling to arrive before she could start questioning.

Not too long, a tall figure was seen at the door. Dong Fang Ling’s dark eyes locked onto Bing-er’s face, step by step, he walked toward her.

They sight locked together; in his eyes, she saw his mad like love for her, and in her eyes, he saw pain and helplessness. Without saying a word she let out a sigh. 

"Why sigh? Did you not want to see me?" Dong Fang Ling sat at the side of the bed. He placed his palm on her thinned face. She had only been gone for a few days, and yet she had lost so much weight. Bing’er was originally slim, but now, it seemed her body would fall with just a gust of wind.

"It was better if we did not meet again." Bing’er wrinkled her brows, her eyes filled with sadness: he does not belong to her ah!

"No… It is as I said before, even if I were to flip the word upside down, I will continue to search until I find you." His hand gently lifted her chin, not allowing her to look away. For her, he had felt worry and fear for the first time in his 25 years of living, all of this was from this beloved woman in front of him.

"Why the trouble, after all, we were not fated to be." her clear eyes looked at his dashing face, her pink lip formed a bitter smile. 

"What trouble? I had already terminated my marriage with the Fang House, didn’t you father tell you?" What a Luo Xuan! If he did not find Bing’er in time, because of this misunderstanding, they could have...

"Really?! How could the Fang House be willing to do so?" Binger looked at him in surprise, she knew that Fang Yi was much satisfied with him being his sister’s fiance… how could they be willing to give him up? 

His big hands grabbed her hands, tightly, as if never to let it go. His deep eyes looked into her clear ones, and lightly said: "Because like me, Chu Chu already had another person in mind so the Fang House had to dissolve the marriage. And another surprising fact… do you remember the girl named Xiao Lian that you saved from the case of Yi Hong? She was the long lost daughter of Fang House, Chu Chu. In addition, you also saved the life of Madam of Fang House, to them you are their great benefactor."

Hearing this, Binger was shocked, "Is that all true?"

"Of course, it is true. Originally Madam Fang had other thoughts, but knowing that your were the benefactor of both her and her daughter, she had not other objections.”

They were fated to be, and with their names already carved on a marriage certificate, she can no longer run.

"Now that the other matters are settled, now it time to talk about the business between the both of us."

With her eyes widen, looking into his dark eyes, Bing’er puzzledly asked: "Uh… did I owe you money?" 

Black pupil dangerously narrowed, not allowing her to play a fool, sneered and said: "Who was it that promised me not to put their lives in danger? And to even break this promise twice, say it, what should I do with you?”

Seeing that she sould no longer play dumb, Bing’er let out a dry laugh. Her pupils turned away, too afraid to look at him.

"Then how do you plan to punish me?" She reluctantly asked.

"Marry me."

"Am I allowed to refuse?" Her pale face suddenly blushed with a shade of red. Her eyes looked away, not daring to look into his burning, dark eyes.

"I will not take ‘no’ as an answer." After saying his ‘overbearing’ words, Dong Fang Ling’s tall body slightly bent, carefully not to put pressure her wound. His hot lips captured her lips. With a dominating intent, it seemed almost as if he was forcing her pale lips to turn back to the original attractive pink.

With the door carefully shut, Xiao Qing stole another peek at the entangled shadows inside the room before she left to give them privacy. The spring atmosphere in the room is strong ah.
