C53 (2/2)

”Bang …” The door slammed shut.

The room returned to its peaceful state. The silence caused Lady Xu to feel cold from the bottom of her heart. She hadn't asked him to do anything in the first place. Anyway, a year's time limit was only a blink of an eye.

After this incident, Leng Lie did not look for Lady Xu anymore. Lady Xu was depressed and her body had lost a lot of weight.

She had thought countless times that regardless of whether she said it or not, the result would be the same. Why did he have to say it out loud? He couldn't seem to figure it out for himself.

When the day came for her to be discharged from the hospital, Lady Xu hoped that Leng Lie would appear. Unfortunately, she couldn't find Leng Lie's figure anywhere.

She took the bus home alone, her heart heavy. In the back seat of the bus, she gazed at the scenery as tears rolled down her face. If time could be repeated, she thought, she would not say it out loud, and would then clash with Leng Lie.

After returning to the Leng Clan, Mrs Liu felt extremely uncomfortable when she saw the emaciated face of Lady Xu. He grabbed Lady Xu's hand and kept asking, ”Young Mistress, where are you taking care of your body in the hospital? Are you going to suffer?” ”I'm back, let Mother Liu take good care of you.”

Mrs Liu's words made Xu Jiale's heart warm. In the Leng Clan, only Mrs Liu was good to her.

Lu Ni Yun was dressed brilliantly. It seemed that he was about to go out and see the haggard face of Xu Mei. His red lips curled up as he sneered: ”Oh, this is my elder sister-in-law. I haven't seen you these days, but you look worse and worse. Don't be chased away before the deadline. ”

There was a message in his words, so he left as if he was showing off. Lady Xu, on the other hand, was calm. Lu Nianyun thought she was insulting someone, but she wasn't. She was actually hoping that the deadline would arrive soon. After arriving, she would be able to obtain her freedom. She would no longer have to work hard to seek safety in this circle.

”Eldest Young Mistress, please sit down. I've cooked some noodles for you and just left the hospital. Let's go to the bad luck.”

”Thank you, Mrs Liu.”

As she ate the hot noodles, her round eyes seemed to recall something. She looked at Mrs Liu and asked in a low voice: ”Mrs Liu, is Leng Lie at home?”

Mrs Liu nodded: ”Eldest Young Master is at home.”

”What if he doesn't go to the company?”

”I don't know.”

Lady Xu nodded her head. The speed at which she was eating the noodles became even slower. She did not want to see Leng Lie anymore.

Seeing as the noodles were done, even if Lady Xu wanted to drag on, she had to leave.

Mrs Liu watched as Lady Xu ate. She felt particularly hungry. She told Lady Xu to finish the rest of the soup before she went upstairs.

Lady Xu forced a smile and drank the wine miserably.

After they went upstairs, the closer they got to the room, the faster Lady Xu's heart beat.

Was Leng Lie still angry?

It must be because he was angry. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to the hospital to see her, and he wouldn't have gone to pick her up when he left the hospital.

Just as Lady Xu was hesitating, the sound of footsteps came from upstairs. She looked up and saw Leng Yuan.

When Leng Yuan saw Lady Xu, traces of emotion appeared in his eyes. He walked towards her and said, ”Sister-in-law, I went to the hospital, but the people in there said you left.”

”Huh?” Lady Xu was stunned. ”About that, I'm very sorry.”

”It's fine, as long as you're back.” With that, Leng Yuan left.

Lady Xu was feeling conflicted. What was going on with Leng Yuan?

As he lowered his head to think, the door was pushed open. He looked up and saw Leng Lie's cruel, angular face.

He could not help but pinch her hand, causing her to smile with great effort, ”Long time no see.”

With a dark face, he took Lady Xu's hand and pulled her inside. Lady Xu hastened her steps and was about to say something when Leng Lie slammed her body against the wall.

As her lips covered her body, she bit Lady Xu's lower lip ferociously, causing it to swell as it corroded her bones and sinking into her heart. Lady Xu was bitten until she felt pain, and the tears in her eyes were crystal clear. She shook her head and struggled, but what came to her was a harsh and cruel treatment.

After a period of love, her back was aching and she could not close her legs. Lying on the bed, she was like a doll. Her dirty face was filled with stiff grief.

Leng Lie lit up his cigarette. The room was filled with the smell of tobacco smoke. He, who had his back facing Lady Xu, frowned deeply. He did not know how to coax a woman, nor did he know how to reconcile with a woman. It was impossible for him to say sweet words to Lady Xu.

As he thought of this, his heart became even more agitated.

The more irritable he felt, the more he wanted to unleash his rage. He took a deep drag and stubbed out his cigarette.

He got on the bed and sat beside Lady Xu, his big hands covering her face. The smell of tobacco on her fingernails was constantly stimulating her nose.

He seemed to be searching for something. It was funny, but it also seemed like he was just trying to attract Lady Xu's attention.

”Leng Lie, can I continue to be your secretary?” Lady Xu suddenly spoke up. She had been in the hospital for the past few days, and the company's affairs should have been handled by someone else. Her position as a secretary was in danger.
