Chapter 309 The Palace on Land
The rain stopped.
As the darkness in the sky slowly disappeared, the sunlight lit up the horizon.
The morning sun rose up in the sky from the east, and the bright light shone on every corner of the city. Huating became moist and cold after the rain, then the noise took over the city again. The busiest city in Zhongzhou State started to wake up, then it became loud and crowded.
The sunlight shone inside the car through the dark tinted windows.
Li Tianlan and w.a.n.g Yuetong, who had been almost making love for a whole night, were holding each other and sleeping deeply.
The sunlight shone inside the car, and everything was a blur. The scene inside the car was romantic, ambiguous, and extremely s.e.xy.
The sunlight was spreading inside the car.
The dry and somewhat hot sunlight shone on Li Tianlan’s face through the tinted gla.s.s of the car. He frowned and struggled for a while, then finally opened his eyes.
His eyes looked awake, but deep inside, he was very confused.
The ceiling of the car.
Wide and comfy seats.
The skylight that was shining like starlight.
He started to see everything inside the car.
A warm and tender body was pressed against his. As if she were afraid that he might disappear, she wrapped her arms around his waist tightly.
His mind started to wake up.
Li Tianlan lowered his head and looked at w.a.n.g Yuetong in his arms.
There were still tear stains on the face of the little princess from the w.a.n.g family of Beihai, but her pretty little face was still red and tender, the flower came back to life. Even in her sleep, Li Tianlan could still feel her comfort and joy.
Li Tianlan felt a little tired and lost.
He sat up carefully, picked up the wrinkled jacket, and covered w.a.n.g Yuetong with it. After a while, he sighed softly.
He didn’t feel well.
But after such a chaotic and crazy night, the burning desire that had been buried in his heart for three years slowly disappeared as the night ended, and the freshness in his mind made up for the discomfort in his body.
Li Tianlan lifted up his head and looked out the window.
Outside the window, Huating looked busy and bright. The sunlight shone on the Huangpu River, the surface of which was glittering. The ships moved on the river, looking busy but quiet.
Li Tianlan looked around.
There were skysc.r.a.pers everywhere on the left side of the car, and the pedestrians were walking in and out of the buildings, they seemed to be carrying the tempo of the whole city. At the gate of the silver building directly facing the car, a seemingly quiet girl was standing there with a folder in her arms. It seemed that she was waiting for someone.
The girl was dressed like a proper office lady—quiet and well-behaved, very attractive.
Li Tianlan thought the girl looked familiar, but he couldn’t remember who she was or where he had met her.
He moved his body subconsciously.
Then w.a.n.g Yuetong, who was still sleeping, also moved. She snuggled up to him like a kitten and wrapped her arms around one of his legs.
There were still dots of the purest red blood inside their legs.
Li Tianlan finally woke up completely.
He reached out his hand and pinched w.a.n.g Yuetong’s face. w.a.n.g Yuetong’s skin was very fair, soft, and tender, very lovely, so he kept pinching her as he said softly, “The sun has come up. Come on, get up.”
“No.”
w.a.n.g Yuetong slapped Li Tianlan’s hand away while being dazed, and she pouted subconsciously.
“If you don’t get up, people are gonna gather here and look at us. We’re on the street.”
Li Tianlan laughed. His coldness and cruelty from last night seemed to disappear with the storm, and his voice was gentle.
At such a close distance, he could feel w.a.n.g Yuetong’s body temperature. The feelings he got when he touched her kept telling him one thing.
The little princess in front of him had grown into a woman.
And this woman completely belonged to him.
She belonged to him.
w.a.n.g Yuetong’s eyelashes shook gently, then she struggled to open her charming eyes.
Inside the quiet car, they stared into each other’s eyes in silence.
w.a.n.g Yuetong’s eyes became clear, then bitter, and finally, there was only hatred in her eyes.
.
“Senior Brother.” She called him softly.
.
“Get up now, and I’ll take you to breakfast,” Li Tianlan said softly.
w.a.n.g Yuetong’s face turned red. She moved her long legs, then suddenly snorted softly, and her red face suddenly turned pale.
Li Tianlan wanted to ask her what went wrong, then it seemed that he realized something and turned around awkwardly.
“It hurts. You pervert, were you trying to kill me?”
w.a.n.g Yuetong pouted with a pale face and gave Li Tianlan a punch.
Li Tianlan felt even more awkward.
What happened last night was still vivid in their minds. Li Tianlan felt surprised at his own madness. He was biting the prey underneath him like a beast. w.a.n.g Yuetong obeyed and resisted, then obeyed and resisted. Li Tianlan was rough to her throughout.
He looked at w.a.n.g Yuetong subconsciously.
There were bruises on w.a.n.g Yuetong’s pale and fair skin.
Li Tianlan felt embarra.s.sed. After being silent for a while, he said, “I won’t do this in the future.”
“In the future?”
w.a.n.g Yuetong put a smile on her pale face. Her pretty eyebrows were furrowed and her little nose was scrunched up. She said angrily, “What future? We’ll be enemies from now on!”
She got close to Li Tianlan while making small noises and said in a lazy tone, “Sooner or later, I’ll kill you!’
.
“From now on, you’re my woman,” Li Tianlan said.
His voice was calm and determined, as if he was declaring something after deeply thinking about it.
w.a.n.g Yuetong raised her eyebrows slightly. She was suddenly enchanting and innocent. This kind of breathtaking beauty only belonged to Li Tianlan.
Li Tianlan held her gently.
w.a.n.g Yuetong’s body froze, then he leaned on Li Tianlan gently and mumbled quietly, “Tianlan, don’t you think you’re a bit too bossy? When you didn’t want me, you turned away no matter how I begged you. Now you want me, but you still ignore everything I say. Why are you like this?”
“My bad.”
Li Tianlan held her and kissed her ears gently.
“Then apologize to me.”
w.a.n.g Yuetong pretended to be mad.
“I’m sorry.”
Li Tianlan was very sincere.
w.a.n.g Yuetong laughed out loud and suddenly hurt her soft spot while moving. She breathed in softly and gave Li Tianlan a glare.
Li Tianlan’s smile was soft and calm.
w.a.n.g Yuetong buried her little head in Li Tianlan’s neck and rubbed her forehead on his chin, then said softly, “I really don’t want to talk to you. I’ve waited for you for three years and this is the way you treat me. Last night, you made me say such shameful things. I had decided that if you refused me last night, I would definitely kill you, then kill myself.”
Li Tianlan stroked her short hair but didn’t say anything.
.
“From now on, don’t call me cheap and low. I hate it,” w.a.n.g Yuetong said with a low voice.
“I won’t do that anymore.”
“Yes, and you need to spoil me and treat me well.”
“All right.”
“And also…”
“Fine.”
Li Tianlan listened to w.a.n.g Yuetong talking nonstop in his arms. It seemed that after a night, the old w.a.n.g Yuetong had come back, and the charm and loveliness appeared in her again. Her eyes were smiling, and her voice sounded more and more joyful.
Li Tianlan didn’t think about the w.a.n.g family of Beihai anymore.
The grievances between him and the w.a.n.g family of Beihai couldn’t be solved anymore. But at least w.a.n.g Yuetong shouldn’t be the victim of this. Li Tianlan didn’t know what would happen between him and the w.a.n.g family of Beihai. But in the future, as long as w.a.n.g Yuetong didn’t let go of him, he would always be there for her.
His decision might have been wrong.
But what happened, happened.
w.a.n.g Yuetong, who used up all her strength last night, felt sleepy after talking for a while. She kissed Li Tianlan on the face and said in a dazed way, “Tianlan, I’m so sleepy. Let’s go get a room so I can sleep.”
She was talking and searching for something on the seat as she mumbled, “Where’s the key?”
.
“Is it in…” Li Tianlan said casually, but realized something was wrong before he finished the sentence.
w.a.n.g Yuetong also realized something.
They looked at each other, then realized that this wasn’t even their car. They didn’t drive here.
“This is…”
When w.a.n.g Yuetong finally regained her composure from the joy and dizziness, she found out that the car they were in was very s.p.a.cious and luxurious.
She looked at the car carefully and even touched the seat she sat on, then her face suddenly changed.
“The palace on land?!”
w.a.n.g Yuetong’s voice was full of disbelief.
“The what?”
Li Tianlan said casually, “This car isn’t ours, and I broke the car door. Well, can I pay the car owner for another one?”
“We…”
w.a.n.g Yuetong’s voice sounded weird and complicated. As she looked at the car while zoning out, her face looked upset. “Tianlan, we can’t afford it.”
She was telling the truth.
This Rolls-Royce known as “the palace on land” was custom-made, the only one in the whole world. They couldn’t afford the car body, let alone the handmade decorations inside the car. The palace on land was considered the safest car in the world, and the car body was made of a rare alloy instead of aluminum. This kind of alloy was dozens of times more expensive than gold, and very difficult to purchase. Li Tianlan couldn’t even afford the car door, which weighed more than a hundred kilograms, let alone the whole car.
As for w.a.n.g Yuetong, who basically fell out with her family in the past few years, she didn’t have any extra allowance money.
But most importantly—
w.a.n.g Yuetong had recognized the one and only Rolls-Royce, so she naturally knew who owned the car.
She had been in this car before.
“Tianlan.”
w.a.n.g Yuetong poked Li Tianlan’s leg with her tiny hand and said with a quiet voice, “Let’s get out of here before the car owner finds out, here…”
She looked out the window and tried to find out where they were as she spoke.
But she froze the second she looked outside.
Outside the car, the quiet girl who was standing in front of the silver building was now walking toward them with a tall and thin middle-aged man. She was jumpy and high-spirited.
Li Tianlan was also looking at the girl.
He found her more and more familiar as he stared.
“We’re screwed…” w.a.n.g Yuetong mumbled.
.
While talking and joking, the two people that looked like father and daughter walked toward the Rolls-Royce called “the palace on land”.
The girl took out the key and opened the car door.
“Boom!”
After a dull sound, the car door that was able to shelter people against a missile’s bombardment was suddenly detached from the car and fell to the ground, making a heavy sound.
Li Tianlan reacted quickly and covered w.a.n.g Yuetong’s body with his own jacket and w.a.n.g Yuetong’s torn dress.
w.a.n.g Yuetong was frozen.
The father and daughter also froze at the same time.
The girl looked at the car door on the ground in disbelief and didn’t regain her composure for a long while.
“This…”
Li Tianlan tried to remain calm and said while looking at the familiar girl, “We can pay for this.”
“You… you…”
The girl kept stuttering and finally saw Li Tianlan, who was almost naked, and w.a.n.g Yuetong, who was covered by clothing.
Her eyes suddenly popped open.
“Yuetong?! You… Ah, Li Tianlan?!”
The girl kept her mouth open and looked like she just saw a ghost.
.
“Xinyan, please shut up,” w.a.n.g Yuetong hid herself under the clothes and said softly while feeling ashamed.
“Xinyan…”
Li Tianlan suddenly realized something.
“Han Xinyan.”
He finally remembered who the girl was.
.
“What’s going on?” the middle-aged man behind Han Xinyan asked.
.
“They… they…” Han Xinyan stuttered. “Dad, this is Yuetong and Li Tianlan. Ah, they are kind of my friends, they…”
“Li Tianlan…”
The middle-aged man asked, “Li Tianlan from East Emperor Palace?”
He took two steps forward.
At this angle, he couldn’t see w.a.n.g Yuetong behind Li Tianlan, but he could identify Li Tianlan.
A weird smile flashed in the middle-aged man’s eyes. He looked at Li Tianlan and said deeply, “Young man, I think we need to talk.”
“Yes, of course.”
Li Tianlan nodded. “But I need two sets of clothes.”
Han Xinyan shook her head subconsciously and said bitterly, “Having s.e.x in the car? And smashing into someone’s car? This is too much.”
