C44 (2/2)

Lady Xu's face was a deep red, her skin that had just undergone exercise could be easily broken with the blowing of the wind. Cold Abyss's eyes were lingering on her face.

Lady Xu was extremely embarrassed, but she still answered Leng Yuan's question, ”I'm going down to make some food. I'm a little hungry.”

”En, go down. Be careful not to cut it.”

With her body leaning against the wall, Leng Yuan opened up a path for her. She lowered her head and quickly walked past Leng Yuan. After the matter with the wallet, Xu Jiantao was able to avoid being silent with Leng Yuan.

Otherwise, in the end, he wouldn't even know how he died. Leng Ao Tian could easily lock someone up in that gloomy and cold place of the ancestral hall, let alone such 'shameful things'.

Although he did not know if Leng Yuan truly liked him, if this matter were to be exposed by others, he would be the one to suffer in the end.

As she hurried down the stairs, Lady Xu only wanted to get away.

Leng Yuan looked at the back of Lady Xu hurriedly. His meaningful gaze did not contain any wariness as he watched her slowly disappear from his sight.

Leng Yuan only retracted his gaze when his back became smaller and smaller, until there was no trace of him. These past few days, there were some problems that had been bothering him for a long time, but he just didn't want to face them.

Clenching his fist, he turned around and walked upstairs.

After the weekend, it was normal working days again. Lady Xu was wearing a black suit with a briefcase in her hand as she steadily followed behind Leng Lie.

Leng Lie wore a calm expression as he took a big step forward. The two of them entered the hall one after the other. When the girls at the front desk looked at Leng Lie, their eyes were shining.

Not only was he a marshal, he was also very rich. More importantly, he was very much like the domineering CEO that those women thought he was. Looking at the girls who were so mesmerized by the cold passion, Lady Xu felt extremely depressed in her heart.

These women were all hopeless. Men like Leng Yan, who were always indecisive, all wanted to climb onto his bed. That was true. When they couldn't get it, they felt that it was the best. However, when they came into close contact with it, they realized that no one was perfect.

Because she was thinking about something, Lady Xu did not look at the road.

Leng Lie suddenly stood still. He had accidentally let his guard down when Lady Xu ran into his back. Her nose was sore, and she had a yawn.

”What are you thinking about?”

”…” If he were to say that he was not thinking of anything, would Leng Lie believe him?

She lied, ”Think about how you're going to finish today's work.”

”Since when did you love your job so much?”

”After the salary.” To be honest, there was nothing more exciting than getting a salary.

The money that Leng Lie had given him last time was much more than the salary he had received. Even now, when he thought about it, he still felt especially excited and happy.

He was brimming with vigor and beaming with joy as he tugged on the ponytail of Lady Xu. When the surrounding people saw this, they were thrown into confusion again.

Didn't word spread last week that the CEO was shouting at Secretary Xu?

It seemed like the news was fake, these two … It was strange. He said that the CEO didn't like Secretary Xu, but what about him? Once someone bullied Secretary Xu, the CEO would protect him in all sorts of ways. It was truly strange.

Wasn't it said that the one the CEO loved was the star Cheng Xi Yu? How did he become married to Secretary Xu? There was no way to answer the world's questions.

The sudden action from Leng Lie displeased her.

”It took me so much effort to comb my hair. If you pull, I'm afraid it'll get messy later.” Lady Xu had a head of long, black hair, which was not very simple to comb.

In the face of Lady Xu's accusation, Leng Lie did not restrain himself and became even more arrogant. He was only pulling a small lump at first, but now he was pulling a whole handful.

Although Lady Xu was very annoyed, she still wore a smile on her face as she looked at Leng Lie.

There was no helping it, in front of the crowd, no matter how dissatisfied he was, he could not show it. Leng Lie was his financial backer. No matter what he did, he would have to consider his reputation first.

If he suddenly showed displeasure in front of the other employees, who knew what would happen in the end.

”Stop messing around …” Perhaps this was the first time that Lady Xu had acted so coquettishly to Leng Lie, causing him to be stunned on the spot. His deep eyes carried astonishment.

Leng Lie looked at Lady Xu in disbelief before laughing.

”Let's go, stop thinking about other things.”

”Yes.”

Since then, the company spread word of Secretary Xu's coquettish behavior towards the CEO, and the women followed suit.

If a cute little woman was acting coquettishly, it would be okay, but a girl in the personnel department who was not only bulky, but also had a voice that made people wonder if the woman in front of them was a man or a woman. Surprisingly, she also felt like she was being spoiled. That day, the people from their department were so disgusted that they wanted to puke for an entire day.

Even if they wanted to eat, they would not dare to eat in their department. They all went to visit.

Lady Xu was still not in her best condition. When she walked out, all the employees looked at her strangely. Ever since Leng Lie had announced that she was his wife, these employees did not dare to do anything rash in front of her.

Although they were not celebrities, they were discussed to the extent that they were comparable to celebrities.

Faced with such a situation, Lady Xu could only follow them. In any case, the other party's mouth seemed to be on someone else's body, making it impossible for him to control what the other party was saying.

Suddenly, the phone rang. Lady Xu thought it was her, so she opened the phone, but there was no caller ID.
