Chapter Text
Xiao Lin, age 28 goes missing after looting Ye family’s money. He threatened the family’s youngest daughter Li Susu (Ye Susu)into marriage, and was caught cheating with the older sister, Ye Bingchang…
“I have told you to stop reading these news bulletins.” Tantai Jin snatched Li Susu’s phone. “Normal Newspapers won't publish such gossip, only ‘third class phone apps’ do. You shouldn't pollute your brain by reading those.”
“Tantai Jin, you can't protect me from the outer world. You can't hide me in the penthouse forever.” Li Susu sighed. “The rumour will reach me someday.”
“I will go to any extent to protect you.” Tantai Jin ‘s expression was serious.
“Ease yourself now. The rumours didn't put me in a bad light, so you don't have to ‘protect’ me now! Even though it's a big lie… about Xiao Lin threatening me…” Li Susu paused. “But it's actually better! I don't want people to know that my choice was that bad! I am ashamed of myself that I chose Xiao Lin, and I don't want the world to know!”
Tantai Jin smiled. He then patted her head and went outside, for work.
Li Susu sighed. It's been a year of her residing in this penthouse, and the media wasn't kind on them. Eventually, talks about Li Susu ceased to exist, but Tantai Jin was still hated for dating his ‘ex- sister in law’. Li Susu knows that people forgot about her only because of his intervention with the media. And Li Susu really wanted to do something for him. To erase the rumours surrounding him too.
Tantai Jin had a better proposal. After two or three years, he plans to leave China with Li Susu and settle abroad. He was always ready to escape (since he was a criminal and cops will find evidence someday) but this escape will be solely for Li Susu.
Somewhere no one knows. Somewhere only Tantai Jin and Li Susu exist. Their Little World.
Tantai Jin has done many sins. His hands were stained with blood. Li Susu wasn't stupid, but she knows that Xiao Lin ‘s disappearance has something to do with Tantai Jin.
Maybe he is already killed.
Li Susu knew that Tantai Jin loved her, but she was surprised to know that he will do ‘anything’ to avenge her. She doesn't have proof of Tantai Jin ‘s hand in Xiao Lin ‘s disappearance, but she was shocked to see burns on her adoptive dad Ye Xiao body. Ye Xiao told her that the burns are from the chemical factory he owned, but that was a lie.
Tantai Jin had avenged her.
If Tantai Jin could punish her dad for giving her some ‘insignificant burns’, there is no way that he would have forgiven Xiao Lin!
And now being ‘his woman’ means being responsible for his sins. Li Susu knew that very well. Someday, somewhere Li Susu would pay for loving a Criminal.
But then again, that's the only way Li Susu can repay Tantai Jin ‘s immense love for her. And, Li Susu was ready to go to Hell.
With him, even hell would sound like a home.
