Chapter 9: They've Had a Relationship for a While

But he was no match for Li Miaomiao at all.

Taking this opportunity, Li Miaomiao executed a judo over - the - shoulder throw, slamming Lin Hai heavily to the ground.

Damn! This feels so good!

Lin Hai clutched his waist, which felt as if it were broken from the fall, howling in pain.

Father Li was furious. He stood up and shouted at Li Miaomiao, "Li Miaomiao! What are you doing? How could you hit someone? Hurry up and apologize to Young Master Lin!" Their family wasn't wealthy, and they simply couldn't afford to offend the Lin family.

However, when Li Miaomiao heard her father yelling at her like this, her heart was filled with sadness.

"Dad! He was about to hit me just now. You saw it too. I was just defending myself. Why should I apologize to him?!"

Moreover, hadn't the things he and Li Baibai did hurt her enough?

Giving him just an over - the - shoulder throw was already lenient of her!

For the first time, Father Li was defied by his daughter like this, his face turning crimson with anger. At this moment, Li Miaomiao was still saying, "I absolutely won't marry Lin Hai! Even if I were to die, it's out of the question! So, if you want to marry off a daughter for some kind of marriage alliance, then marry Li Baibai to him! I won't let you trade away my love!"

"Slap!"

Before Li Miaomiao could finish speaking, Father Li's slap landed across her face. In an instant, Li Miaomiao felt her left cheek swelling up. It was excruciatingly painful and burning hot. This was the first time her father had ever hit her, and it was right on the face.

For a girl, the face is of utmost importance!

Tears welled up in Li Miaomiao's eyes all of a sudden, even though she hardly ever cried.

Li Miaomiao turned around and started running outside. She really didn't want to stay in this cold - blooded home, where her father only had Li Baibai in his eyes, for even a single second longer!

"Li Miaomiao! I'm telling you! If you leave this house today, then don't ever come back! The Li family doesn't have a daughter like you!"

Father Li's angry roar echoed behind her. Li Miaomiao wiped her tears and ran out of the Li family's residence stubbornly.

She had always regarded the Li family as her warmest haven. But now, everyone thought that she was being willful and unreasonable in calling off this marriage...

All this was just for the sake of a small Lin family!

Was money really that important sometimes?

Lin Yu was looking through the personal information of Li Miaomiao sent by his subordinate in the car. Unexpectedly, when he looked up casually, he saw Li Miaomiao running while crying. But then, she suddenly tripped and fell, and all sounds stopped immediately. Frowning, Lin Yu quickly got out of the car to check on her and asked, "Hey, Li Miaomiao! What's wrong with you?!"

.....

The forest was a pristine white expanse, as if a vast snowfall had blanketed it entirely. Li Miaomiao was making her way alone through the forest. She had no idea what she was doing, merely driven by some inherent urge to search.

Before her eyes was an expanse of pure white. She couldn't discern the path ahead, simply moving back and forth here, guided solely by her instincts...

"Don't leave... don't abandon me... I'm not as bad as they say...."

Unsure of what she was seeing, Li Miaomiao kept talking to herself. It was only when a warm current suddenly coursed through the nape of her neck that her thoughts gradually roused within the vision of a smiling face.

Opening her eyes, what came into view was a face adorned with a wolf - shaped mask. Those deep - blue eyes, in particular, were reminiscent of a foreign mixed - blood. However, due to the intimidating mask he wore, Li Miaomiao let out a startled scream and jolted upright, "Who are you!"
