C28 (2/2)
Leng Lie came out of the bathroom and sized up Lady Xu.
Lady Xu looked up. ”I seem to have a cold.”
”It's just a cold, I won't die.”
”Right, they won't die.” Lady Xu went to bed and pulled at the quilt, not wanting to pay any attention to Leng Lie.
The words of this man could always kill people.
”Don't sleep first.”
Lady Xu lifted the quilt and asked, ”Didn't we finish today's work?”
”You didn't ask the director for the cooperation with the Fan Group.”
In the blink of an eye, Lady Xu felt guilty and explained, ”I forgot.”
Leng Lie, with a smile that was not a smile, crossed his arms over his chest and said in an awe-inspiring manner, ”Lady Xu, I hope you will take this cooperation case seriously.”
Lady Xu licked her upper lip, lowered her head and said softly, ”I understand, I'm sorry. I will pay attention next time.”
Leng Lie suddenly burst out into laughter. For some unknown reason, Lady Xu looked at the man before her in a daze.
A man who had been so cold just a moment ago, yet was now smiling so warmly and amicably!
Pulling the blanket over her, Lady Xu decided to sleep.
Ever since Leng Lie fired a few employees because of him, the other employees were especially respectful towards her.
Although she knew that this respect came from Leng Lie, she still felt happy about it. She did not have any protection in the Leng Clan and could have it in the company.
As Lady Xu and Leng Lie walked in one after the other, a person who had suddenly approached them made them stop in their tracks.
Fan Yunlin was dressed very stylishly in a light blue dress. It made her look especially rosy and exquisite, giving her a particularly beautiful appearance.
She was smiling, her big watery eyes fixed on her cold face.
Lady Xu bared her teeth, subconsciously wanting to give the two of them some time.
Just as he took a step forward, he was pulled back by Leng Lie.
”Let me go.” Lady Xu frowned. She didn't want to be the target of Fan Yunlin. Offending the two women in the house was already a huge burden, much less this woman in front of her.
Cold and violent, he nonchalantly asked, ”Where are you going?”
”Are you trying to kill me?”
When Fan Yunlin saw this, her expression changed …
In Fan Yunlin's eyes, the two of them seemed to be flirting and flirting. Inky black eyes lit up with sparks of rage.
She clenched her fists, wishing that she could rip off Lady Xu on the spot.
”Lie …” Restraining her anger, Fan Yunlin walked up, a big grin on her face.
Taking advantage of Leng Lie's absent-mindedness, Lady Xu broke free from the imprisonment and walked away quickly.
Fan Yunlin took Leng Lie's arm. ”Lie, I've cooked a bowl of lamb soup for you. You can try it later.”
The intimate look on her face surprised all the surrounding employees.
Wasn't the CEO married to Secretary Xu? How did she get involved with Miss Fan?
In the past, Fan Yunlin would not easily come to find Leng Lie because of Cheng Xi Yu. But ever since Cheng Xi Yu left the country, she had revealed her true nature.
She was nothing more than a friend. She would dig in the corner, leaving no room for anything else.
Leng Lie's expression was cold as he let go of Fan Yunlin's hand. ”You're not going to work?”
Fan Yunlin froze for a moment. The feeling of being released was not very pleasant, but she could not back down.
She adjusted her attitude and said with a chuckle, ”Lie, I've been resting recently.”
”Yes.” She walked towards the elevator, with Fan Yunlin right behind her.
Only after the two of them left did the employee start to discuss with each other.
Inside the office, Fan Yunlin busied herself in order to give Leng Lie a mouthful of warm lamb soup that would replenish his body.
”Lie …” ”You try it.” Fan Yunlin's eyes were wide with expectation as she stared at Leng Lie.
Coldly, he took a sip.
”How do you feel? ”Is it okay?”
”Sure.”
Fan Yunlin let out a sigh of relief and beamed. ”The Emperor doesn't disappoint those who have worked hard for him. This time, the food has finally been cooked very well.”
Lady Xu watched the two of them and was about to tiptoe out of their range. However, before she could take two steps, a pair of cold eyes swept over her.
Lady Xu wanted to cry, but no tears came out. Could he not treat her like this? He clearly knew that Fan Yunlin liked him, but he still wanted to use her as a shield.
The way she looked at him was becoming more and more ruthless. The nameless anger made Xu Mei clench her teeth tightly together with her lower one.
Leng Lie was doing it on purpose.
The more he acted as if he cared about her, the more Fan Yunlin would target her.
Take a deep breath. Lady Xu then said, ”I need to go to the toilet.” Then she left.
When Fan Yunlin saw Lady Xu leave the room, her gloomy mood instantly brightened. Her beautiful face was radiant as she deliberately rubbed her cold and fierce arms.
”Lie …” ”Continue to eat more.”
Her sweet tone, coupled with her focused mind, made her look like a little woman in love.
Lady Xu stayed in the bathroom and played with her cellphone. After a while, she didn't dare to return to her office. However, she hadn't given that cooperation case to anyone yet, and her heart was in torment.
She was not interested in learning about the relationship between Fan Yunlin, Leng Lie, and Cheng Xi Yu. Whether Leng Lie was good to any woman or not, she felt that it had nothing to do with her.
She could not allow herself to get involved. Those women were not to be trifled with. She was a woman from a poor family. It was not easy to protect her and her family.
