Upon hearing her words, Rong Yan stopped caressing her back. His eyes turned gloomy and he changed the subject. “The court trial will be happening in three days. Are you scared?”
The two of them were laying naked beneath the silk duvet and Rong Yan tyrannically hugged Luo Anning, making her feel awkward and annoyed at the start. However, she gave it some thought and realized that it would be too pretentious to be shy now that they had already gotten intimate with each other before.
She gradually relaxed and was forced to press her breasts against his chest. Luo Anning cocked her head away slightly and looked down. “With the head Lawyer of Baina International to defend me, I don’t have anything to fear. I trust Xu Mengjie.
She believed that Xu Mengjie truly lived up to her name as the top lawyer in the nation. She also believed that Xu Mengjie would be able to clear her name and get rid of the charges pressed on her completely.
“I was the one who sent Xu Mengjie,” Rong Yan complained in displeasure. It was obvious what he meant.
Rong Yan was annoyed to hear that she only trusted Xu Mengjie because he was the one who arranged for Xu Mengjie to defend her. Yet, he didn’t get any credit at all.
After interacting with Rong Yan for such a long time, Luo Anning began to understand his personality and character. She could also understand what he was thinking whenever he stayed silent.
Upon hearing his words, Luo Anning snorted with laughter while Rong Yan frowned and grabbed her chin, forcing her to look up at him. “What are you laughing for?” he questioned, staring at her.
Shouldn’t I be the one she thanks and trusts the most?
“Nothing… I wasn’t laughing.”
“Luo Anning! You patronised me.” Rong Yan was infuriated and hence called her by her full name.
“I really wasn’t laughing about anything. Um… I just think… you’re really adorable.” Luo Anning suppressed her laughter and stared at him with glistening eyes.
Rong Yan’s face turned petulant immediately. He gritted his teeth and barked, “Adorable? Repeat yourself!”
“No, no, no… I was wrong. It was a mistake. What I meant was, Young Master Rong, you’re the most handsome man I’ve ever met.” Seeing that Rong Yan was about to lose his temper, Luo Anning quickly tried to suck up to him.
After hearing her words, Rong Yan’s face stiffened and he began pecking her cheek. “You do have good taste after all. Go to bed!”
Rong Yan smacked her hips domineeringly and closed his eyes.
…
The court trial for Ou Lixue’s case took place three days later in the Supreme Court of S City.
Luo Anning set off from Luxury Mansion and along the way, Rong Yan held her hand tightly while remaining silent. Xu Zhiyuan sat on the passenger seat while holding onto the latest information and reported it to Rong Yan. He would observe Rong Yan’s expression from the rear view mirror, every now and then.
When he mentioned that Luo Anning would definitely be released free of charge, he finally noticed Rong Yan’s face becoming much more tender, though the latter did not notice it.
“Young Madam, don’t get nervous when we go to court later. Mengjie will be there to handle everything. When the judge questions you, you just have to say everything that you know. I believe the judge will make the fairest decision to do you justice.”
“Got it,” Luo Anning said smilingly with a nod. She then continued, “Assistant Xu, thanks for the help that you and Lawyer Xu have given me. You had to run around performing errands ever since I got embroiled in this case. It’s been hard on you guys.”
