"Dad."
Now that she was better, Qing Yue returned to her reticent self around her Dad.
The memory of that winter night was still fresh in her mind, and knowing her Dad blamed her for her mother's death hurt her.
But Qing Yue didn't complain and neither did she resent him. She understood his pain and in a small corner of her heart, she also blamed herself.
Therefore, she tried to keep her head down as much as she could so as to not open the wounds of his scarred heart.
However, what she didn't know was that her withdrawn behavior pained Li Chen.
The day of her accident was a great wake-up call for him. That day, Li Chen realized his mistake and regretted his past actions.
He'd almost lost the precious daughter his wife had left behind for him.
Unfortunately, regret had no medicine and he couldn't mend the cracks in their broken relationship. He could only swallow the bitter pain and hope for another chance.

Thrilling Storm Li Qing Yue Is Enrolling In University 2
Li Chen anxiously paced in his study. His brows were furrowed in a deep frown as he reevaluated himself and the current situation of the Li Mansion. With Qing Yue now living in the Long Mansion, he realized he hadn't properly trained her to inherit the Li Industries. And with only a Junior High Education, no experienced manager or senior executive in the Li Empire would follow the lead of a young girl just because she was his daughter. He recalled the incident that caused him to hire her private professors at home. If it wasn't for that kidnapping incident, then he wouldn't have withdrawn his daughter from public school. But now, Junior High Education wasn't sufficient for her to inherit the Li Industries. How was he going to bring up the matter of enrolling her in university with Long Tian?

Tian Tian, Uncle Li wasn't wrong in choosing you for Yue'er. I can now rest assured knowing she's in your capable hands." He clapped the man's shoulder twice and turned his head around to blink his tears away. How embarrassing would it be if he cried before his son-in-law? Even the thought alone mortified Li Chen. Quickly, composing his expression, he turned back to face Long Tian with a satisfied smile. For his daughter to get a husband that gave her such importance even with her hopeless condition, what more could he ask for? "Tian Tian, you don't need to worry about me. As her Dad, I'd support Yue'er no matter what she did. In fact, before you came to find me, I was just wondering how to bring up to you about Yue'er's further education as well. It's good now. With you to protect her, I won

Aunt Li...Aunt Li had a hand in her mother's death?As if smashed with a giant hammer, Qing Yue's vision went dark and her head pounded violently.

He was pleased with this development but also felt confused.Yue'er was so close to the two. What happened to make her take such a decision?"L...leave? Qing Qing, you...stop joking around."

She was definitely hearing things."Aunt Li, I'm serious. I want y
Thrilling Storm Ye Yi As Well? 2
Thinking of the cramped, low ceiling mansions her friends lived in, Yei Yi was appalled. Not even in her greatest nightmares could she live in such a place. 'I...I'll plead Li Qing Yue this time. If she agrees to let me stay, then Uncle Li won't say a word. I'll plea with her for now. It's the only way for me to stay. But after mother succeeds...' Thinking of her mother's plan, a vicious gleam flashed through her eyes. Yei Yi clenched her fists and vowed to make Li Qing Yue lick her toes after she became the Young Mistress of Li Industries. With a pitiful expression, she walked around her mother towards Qing Yue. But before she could draw any closer, Long Tian raised his head and glared. The piercingly cold glare froze her in her tracks. It was a warning. Long Tian was actually warning her not to approach any closer!

The moment he decided to mend the relationship between him and his daughter, Li Chen made up his mind to fulfill every single one of her wish without question. Now that he was presented with such a great opportunity to not only rid himself of an eyesore but also win his daughter's favor, why would he hesitate?

Apology 4
At this moment, Long Tian wasn't feeling well. He believed in his wife's abilities and sensed she probably created a new record from the eager expressions of the group in the office. But this made him keenly aware of their impending separation. The fact that the woman responsible for his current state of mind was unaware of his misery only made the matter worse. 'Yue'er doesn't understand my fears and apprehensions. There's nothing I can do to convince her to return to the Long Mansion with me...' Brimming with frustration and helplessness, Long Tian pushed his wife to the only desk in the room and faced the group of eight. "Young...Young Master Long, we..." "You must be from the Board of Education and the Department of Education. We don't have all day. So make this quick." The expressions of the eight individuals turned ugly. They didn't expect Young Master Long to be so overbearing and dismissive of them. Even though it was said they came to apologize for the two education de

Apology 3
Early the next morning, after completing her regular treatment, Qing Yue began packing. Swishh! "Young Madam, these are your seasonal clothes and your uniform. I already packed and transferred your undergarments and bathroom necessities." The RoboCare spun to a stop before her. "Thank you..." Qing Yue named all the RoboCares and daily helping bots at Li Mansion. However, the ones at Long Mansion didn't seem to have a name. She didn't want to take it upon herself to name the care bots that helped her and Long Tian alone. But bringing up the topic to the man was a little...embarrassing. Stuck in an impasse, she had no choice but to postpone the matter. 'I'll bring it up to Long Tian after I return.' "Yue'er, the University called. Your results are out and we need to leave now." Long Tian's deep, magnetic voice resounded from the room and caused her to tense. Qing Yue looked around the walk-in closet and hesitated. 'He...he won't like this.' She sighed, steeled her heart, and wh

Apology 2
'What was that?' Qing Yue's eyes clouded as she recalled what she saw. The fact that she was having a nightmare even during the daytime now didn't bother her as much as the scene that followed the descent of the acid rain. "Li Feng, what's going on?" She asked through their mind link. "Saintess, there's not much time. You need to leave this Long Mansion to become strong enough to face the future. At the moment, that's all I can tell you. The rest depends on you and your decision." Li Feng sighed. What's to come will come. The only difference will be how you will face it. Saintess, everything is in your hands now. Qing Yue absentmindedly gazed at her clenched hands, her mind repeating the words of the spirit. 'Not much time? So that horrid image...' She shivered when the image resurfaced in her mind again. She didn't have much time, that much she understood. She raised her head and held her husband's gaze. "Yue'er, what's wrong?" Long Tian felt unsettled. He had never seen such

Did she not like his advances?At this thought, Long Tian became nervous.He didn't want his wife to live outside of Long Mansion because of his actions."Yue'er, is it...is it because o

Re-Examination 2
Early the next morning, Qing Yue stood before the bathroom mirror with a shocked expression on her face. "Li Feng, am I dreaming? How is this possible?" Aside from the first day, she hadn't looked at herself in the mirror after her accident. But this was beyond astonishing, alright? It hasn't even been a full month before her discharge! "Congratulations, Saintess. You've recovered your original appearance." Li Feng's voice was filled with amusement, causing Qing Yue to return to her senses. "Haha! A week! It only took me a week to recover my original appearance!" The entire situation felt surreal. Even after looking at herself in the mirror for two whole hours, Qing Yue was not able to believe her eyes. "Li Feng, how is this possible? My face was horrendous! So hideous that even ten plastic surgeries wouldn't have helped me. So how...?" If the doctors who had told her she'd be disfigured for life saw her at this moment, she was certain they'd faint from a heart attack. Qing Yue he

Re-Examination 1
Long Tian's dark gaze alarmed Qing Yue. She stiffly smiled and tried to ignore the heat from her lips. But the close proximity to her husband made the task difficult. What's more, with their foreheads pressed together and their noses rubbing against each other, the two of them were practically sharing breath! "Brother...Tian...I'm done. I...I'm sleepy." Not really. But at this point, Qing Yue would say anything to escape Long Tian's predatory gaze. "You're sleepy?" Long Tian skeptically asked. "Yes. I...I'm really sleepy. The nap earlier wasn't enough." "Hmm...I'll help you to bed, then." Though he was disappointed, Long Tian tried not to show it. He understood his wife was alarmed by his sudden advances. But thinking of the fact that they were husband and wife, his heart relaxed and he relented with a gentle smile. They had all their life to know each other and develop their relationship. Long Tian was confident that with time

"Brother Tian..." "Shhh...Yue'er, didn't you say I'll have to carry you in my arms or sat you on my lap before? Today, Brother Tian will sit you on his lap." "Huh?" What the he**! What was going on!? Qing Yue felt her head spin. Everything became too confusing and overwhelming. "Why? You don't want to?" Long Tian paused and peered down at her. Though his face remained cold and neutral, since she was pressed against his chest, Qing Yue felt his body tense. This made her feel at a loss on what to say. The idea of sitting...on his lap was too abrupt and sudden. But Qing Yue didn't want to hurt her husband. She knew he wouldn't hurt or harm her. And after what happened earlier, was there a need for her to feel embarrassed? "Brother Tian, it's not that. I'm just a little shy." She admitted it. "Yue'er, don't be shy. We're husband and wife." The tense muscles in Long Tian's body relaxed and a smile stretched across hi

Long Tian felt hot and overwhelmed. The sudden surge of intense emotions sent silent tremors coursing through his body. He inadvertently groaned against his wife's delicate lips, the deep throaty sound causing Qing Yue to shiver. Sensing her reaction, his tongue slithered out and traced her lush lips, before insistently pushing on them. Qing Yue hesitated for a second. Her mind was muddled with the pleasure of his kiss, but she could perceive his intention through his action. He wanted her to open her lips. But she could also sense he was giving her the choice to refuse by not putting much force on his relentless tongue. This silent display of respect touched her. As a husband, Long Tian took care of her without complaint. He protected her and treated her with kindness and respect. He even took action to fulfill the dream she thought would forever be buried in her heart. Besides, she still had bandages covering her face, and ye

"This...Tian Tian, I understand how you must feel, but...you can't allow your feelings to control you. Why don..." "Uncle Yi Ming, set up the re-examination. I believe in Yue'er." Long Tian's cold voice and frosty eyes immediately silenced Yi Ming. "Call me when the re-examination date is fixed." Yi Ming nodded, still too stunned to speak. He watched in a daze as his nephew got up and pushed his wife out of the office. Bang! "Da**! Long Tian, you're truly out of your mind!" Returning to his senses, Yi Ming roared and pushed to his feet. However, his agitated cry only resounded in the silent room. The two individuals had left long ago. "Da**! This rotten nephew! He's bent on shaming me before the entire board of education directors. Let his wife retake the exam in front of them? Have them apologize to her? Is he blinded by the girl's charms?" Yi Ming was certain his nephew had lost his mind. There was no other reas
