When Mr. Lin left, his expression was extremely dark. He pursed his lips tightly while wishing he could gnash his teeth. Lin Chaoyu's stepmother followed beside him with her nails almost digging into his flesh.
When signing the agreement, Mr. Lin's hands were trembling, but he did not dare to say anything harsh. The cold touch on his forehead constantly reminded him.
He did not dare to resist. After all, Tang Pengze was still holding onto that gun.
He originally thought that Tang Pengze only treated Lin Chaoyu as a surrogate tool. He thought that if he could get more money, he might as well try to. Otherwise, after Lin Chaoyu gave birth, she would lose her value.
Who would have thought that Tang Pengze would be so protective of Lin Chaoyu?
Before leaving, Mr. Lin glared at Lin Chaoyu fiercely, but didn't dare to say anything. His hands were obediently placed by his side.
Then, he pulled Lin Chaoyu's stepmother and fled.
Lin Chaoyu let out a sigh of relief. She ran her fingers through her hair and tucked it behind her ear. Then, she turned around and looked at Tang Pengze.
Tang Pengze took out a handkerchief and wiped the gun. His eyes narrowed slightly.
"You're free." He put the pistol away and leaned against the back of the sofa casually. He stretched his arms and rested them on the sofa.
Lin Chaoyu pursed her lips and smiled. "Thank you."
At the hospital that time, Tang Pengze was clearly very angry. She thought that he would be angry and forget her words.
However, she didn't expect him to take it to heart and arrange everything properly. Otherwise, Mr. Lin would have used her mother's incident to threaten her.
And this time, when Mr. Lin came to ask for money, it was Tang Pengze who shielded her. When he saw her being bullied, he immediately protected her.
In the end, he even helped her solve the problem that had been giving her a headache.
Now that she had cut off all ties with Mr. Lin, there would be no reason for them to look for her in the future.
One thing after another flashed through Lin Chaoyu's mind like a silent film. Lin Chaoyu pointed at Tang Pengze and felt a deep sense of gratitude.
Ever since she met Tang Pengze, everything around her had been getting better…
"We were originally fine, but you suddenly had the thought of leaving me. Was it because of them?" He closed his eyes and raised his brows with his dark pupils turning slightly.
He glanced at her and his cold countenance seemed to be have softened, as if he was anticipating Lin Chaoyu's reply.
When Lin Chaoyu heard this, she shook her head and said, "It's not because of them."
If her mother hadn't used suicide to threaten her, she wouldn't have thought of separating from Tang Pengze.
When Tang Pengze heard Lin Chaoyu's reply, he lowered his head slightly. His drooping hair covered his eyes.
He, his tone clearly disappointed, suddenly spoke. "Then you still want to leave me? Is there no reason?"
When Mr. Lin came today, he thought that after helping Lin Chaoyu solve this problem, she wouldn't have so many misgivings and could obediently stay by his side.
But if this was not a reason, why did she want to leave him? Did she hate him so much?
The more Tang Pengze thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He raised his eyebrows slightly, and felt as if something was missing in his heart. It made him frustrated, and his expression was gloomy.
"Are you still going to leave me?" Tang Pengze stood up and looked down at her. His expression immediately turned cold.
Lin Chaoyu, who was sitting on the sofa, couldn't help but laugh when she saw him like this. Then, she stood up and met Tang Pengze's gaze with her round almond-shaped eyes.
She tiptoed and planted a light kiss on his lips.
