Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 720 - 713: Finally Meeting (Part 7)

The surrounding crowd grew, forcing the two to end their lingering kiss. Leng Yichen gently kissed away Bai Yiran’s tears and held her tightly in his arms, "I’m sorry, I’m sorry..."

Being able to hear Leng Yichen’s strong and powerful heartbeat again, to embrace his robust waist, and feel his sturdy chest, Bai Yiran felt a sense of relief after surviving a disaster, a joy that could overshadow everything.

The village chief hurried over, looked at the full courtyard of people, and shouted angrily, "What’s going on here!"

Old Li, seeing the village chief finally arrive, immediately burst into tears and cried out while lying on the ground, "Village chief, you must stand up for me! Those two beat me and my son, and they stole the bride I prepared for my son! Is there any justice left? They are heartless bullies, oppressing our father and son!"

Old Li tearfully expressed himself to the village chief, who glanced over at Leng Yichen and froze. Isn’t that the city-dwelling person staying at the Qiao Family? And wasn’t the younger one supposed to marry the Qiao Family’s daughter? That’s what Mrs. Qiao said today, and she was boasting about it all over the village, yet now he’s embracing Old Li’s foolish bride?

"What’s going on with you?" The village chief pompously said, perhaps because the villagers elevated his status too high, leading him to believe he was omnipotent in this village.

Leng Yichen took off his black coat and draped it over Bai Yiran, revealing his tightly fitted gray t-shirt, which accentuated his robust and sexy physique unmistakably.

Seeing this, the women in the crowd were utterly entranced; their village had no man as handsome and well-built as he was!

Xiao Qiao stared longingly at Leng Yichen, biting her lip tightly, her eyes filled with yearning for him.

Leng Yichen securely shielded Bai Yiran in his embrace, "Don’t be afraid, I’m here."

"I’m not afraid." From the moment Bai Yiran saw Leng Yichen, she no longer felt fear. She had no reason to be afraid anymore because the only man in the world who could give her safety was right here.

Hearing Leng Yichen speak so softly to the woman in his arms, Xiao Qiao clenched her clothes tightly, wishing desperately that she was the woman nestled in his embrace, that she was being gently protected by him?

Tears welled up in Xiao Qiao’s eyes; why wasn’t this woman dead? Why didn’t that man kill her? Why!

Leng Yichen calmly faced the village chief and the onlooking villagers, exuding an aura of a ruler, making others hesitant to approach.

Instinctively, the village chief stepped back, seemingly afraid Leng Yichen might kick him too. But realizing all his villagers were watching, he didn’t want to appear cowardly, so he straightened his back and said to Leng Yichen with righteousness, "Aren’t you the city boss staying at the Qiao Family about to marry their daughter? So why are you causing trouble at Old Li’s place now? Not only beating people but also snatching a bride; do you think you can casually bully us country folks because you’re from the city?"

"Marry the Qiao Family’s daughter?" Bai Yiran froze, lifting her head to look at Leng Yichen.

Leng Yichen patted her head, "Trust me."

Bai Yiran nodded. She trusted Leng Yichen, but why were there such rumors circulating, and who spread them?

"Qiao Family’s daughter, you need to clarify; that’s your man!" The village chief directly pointed at Xiao Qiao.

Xiao Qiao froze in place, standing awkwardly in the courtyard, unsure where to look. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Bai Yiran noticed Xiao Qiao with surprise, "Huh? Why is it that girl?"
