《The Glory After Rebirth》C38. Am I a Heart-breaker?
Advertisement
‘Do you want to break off the engagement?’
‘How dare you! Ling Family dares to break off the engagement? Take them to court!’
A tall man came up to him with his back to the light. Obviously, Ling Zhang couldn’t see his face clearly, but he knew that man was ferocious and angry now and stared at him as if he was a heartbreaker.
That man stretched out to seize his collar and thundered, “No way!”
His dangerous eyes fixed on Ling Zhang firmly and shackled him, suffocating him.
No, it was not like that, I didn’t intend to break off the engagement, I just…
“Ho—" Ling Zhang opened his eyes suddenly, staring blankly at the familiar canopy of his bed. That pair of eyes fixing firmly on him in his dream haunted in his mind. His heart fluttered uncannily which made him panic.
What was going on, why did he dream those strange things?
Ling Zhang lifted his hands to wipe the sweat on forehead, then he felt heavy on his chest and found it hard to breathe.
Looking down, he saw a head with soft hair and familiar cowlick. It was like being held by a small stove. The little guy was snoring lying on him.
Ling Zhang, “…”
He remembered clearly that he slept alone before going to bed, when did Ling Maomao come here? Why couldn’t he remember a thing?
It was a day off for school and it was strange that he didn’t clamor to play outside?
So that odd dream was caused by the little guy who nearly suffocated him with his head pressing so hard on his chest? Although he comforted himself like this, that pair of eyes still haunted in Ling Zhang’s mind.
Moving Ling Maomao to the bed from his body, Ling Zhang then pulled quilt for the little guy and leaned on the bed head with an unfathomable look.

Why did he dream of people from Yu Wen Family coming to square accounts with him?
People from Yu Wen Family eagerly looked forward to breaking off the engagement, so it was impossible for them to take revenge.
But why did he always feel uneasy now?
There was no update from the butler, but according to the time, they might get to capital in a few days.
Rubbing his forehead, Ling Zhang thought he must be too tired these days that he dreamed terrible things to scare himself.
When he was about to leave, Ling Maomao who lay beside sensed and stretched out to hold Ling Zhang’s waist in a daze, “Brother, where are you going?”
“I’m ready to get up, you can go back to sleep.” Ling Zhang rubbed his head lightly.
Ling Maomao suddenly woke up and sprang out of the bed, “Brother, I came here to play with you, let’s hang out on the street!”
Ling Zhang now understood why the little guy didn’t go out. Clearly, the boy was waiting for him.
“I’m busy now and can’t hang out. I can ask Xiafeng and several people to accompany you.”
Ling Maomao’s alive face turned to aggrieved, “I want to hang out with you. You were always so busy these days and I can’t even meet you at meal time.”
Ling Zhang’s heart melted for he remembered clearly how Maomao died in his previous life. In this life, he would try his best to let Maomao live well and to protect him and Ling Family.
“I have to go to school every day. It’s rare for me to have a day off.” Ling Maomao continued.
The last insistence in his heart was broken. Ling Zhang pinched Ling Maomao’s cheeks, “Okay, I will accompany you. Now, smile.”
Ling Maomao hurrahed immediately and jumped out of bed directly, “Come on, be quick!”
“Take it easy, get dressed first!” Ling Zhang hissed.
After getting Ling Maomao dressed, Ling Zhang called Xiafeng and ordered him, “Tell my aunt that I will hang out on the street with Maomao first, then I will find her for the list later.”
Xiafeng nodded, “Yes, young master.”
The author has something to say:
Ling Zhang: What a nightmare!
