C73 (2/2)

”I know you're inside. Brother Leng Lie left, but you didn't go out.”

The hairs on Beauty Xu's body stood up. This brat is really …

”Sister-in-law, it's fine if you don't go out with me to see the scenery. If you come out, how about the two outside play cards?” ”I've just arrived, so I don't know what's so fun about it. Why don't you accompany me for a bit?” Uncle Leng Jun used his index finger to lightly stroke his yellow hair as he continued, ”If you still don't come out, I'm going to smash open the door.”

Lady Xu wanted to cry, but no tears came out. Was this brat causing trouble for her? Whether it was going to watch the scenery or play cards, they would both be digging holes for her to jump into.

Just as Xu Que was being threatened by Uncle Leng Jun and was hesitating whether she should open the door or not, he heard a voice from outside.

It was Leng Yuan's voice.

”Uncle Jun, what are you doing here?”

Lady Xu felt as if she had met her savior. Without a word, she immediately opened the door.

”Leng Yuan.” The grateful gaze surrendered to Leng Yuan. Lady Xu looked at Uncle Leng Jun in bewilderment. ”You just arrived. Can you make such a ruckus?”

Just as Uncle Leng Jun was about to speak, he was interrupted by Leng Yuan. ”Sister-in-law, what is he doing? You can just ignore him and just treat him as transparent. ”

Lady Xu nodded. Leng Yuan grabbed onto the corner of Uncle Leng Jun's clothes and said, ”You, go and cause trouble somewhere else. Don't disturb your sister-in-law's rest.”

Don't disturb your sister-in-law's rest... These words seemed to have a slightly different meaning. Leng Yuan felt quite satisfied with the way things were going, and his heart was especially happy as well.

Uncle Leng Jun spread out his hands, and said to Leng Yuan in an aggressive manner, ”Brother Leng Yuan, I feel like I'm here to jail. It's not funny at all. I finally found out that my sister-in-law was pretty funny, but you didn't let me cause any trouble. ”

Leng Yuan patted Uncle Leng Jun, ”Stop tormenting yourself day after day. If you don't get a good rest today and start working tomorrow, you'll be in trouble. Also, your sister-in-law isn't here to play. Be careful when you speak. ”Don't think that I won't beat you up. If you are stupid, I won't show mercy either.”

Xu Que clapped her hands in her heart. It was because of this aura that she was able to scare Uncle Leng Jun.

”Go and apologize to your sister-in-law. Then, do whatever you want to do.”

Uncle Leng Jun smiled and said to Lady Xu, ”Sister-in-law, you are very beautiful. I am sorry.”

Lady Xu, ”...”

”I'm going to play.” Uncle Leng Jun confidently strode forward and suddenly turned his head. ”I'll come look for you next time.”

Lady Xu shook her head. She reluctantly smiled and said unhappily, ”I don't want it anymore …”

”Hahahaha …” Uncle Leng Jun's hearty laughter was too infectious, making one's mood improve upon hearing it.

There was only Lady Xu and Leng Yuan left. Lady Xu stood there awkwardly.

Thus, he found an excuse to slip away. Unexpectedly, Leng Yuan was able to see through her and was unwilling to see Lady Xu leave.

”Sister-in-law, don't take what Uncle Jun said to heart to heart.”

”Yeah, I understand. He's just a kid.”

”In fact, though, he was a little right.”

”What?”

”You are very beautiful.”

The trace of a smile on Lady Xu's face froze in an instant. ”It's just a leather bag. It's nothing much.”

Leng Yuan's gaze was sincere as he denied Lady Xu's words, ”Your heart is blessed.”

The sudden praise seemed to contain a hint of confession, causing Lady Xu's mind to be in a mess. A thread of thought gripped her mind.

She spoke very clearly, ”Leng Yuan, there are some things that I think the two of us still need to understand. I am your sister-in-law. And, we can't. ”

”Sister-in-law, I'm just praising you. Don't think too much into it.” Leng Yuan laughed brilliantly, causing Lady Xu to be embarrassed.

”Hur hur.” Lady Xu smiled awkwardly, ”It looks like that. Listen well, it sounds like that. It's pretty good.”

He had been wrong before, Emma, it was too awkward. His ears were hot and his whole body was very uncomfortable. At this moment, Lady Xu wanted to find a hole to hide in.

Leng Yuan held back his laughter. Looking at the flushed face of Lady Xu, he found her beautiful. Just now … He was only probing, only trying to get down the stairs.

”Sister-in-law, you should rest well. I'll be leaving first.”

”Mm. Alright, you have to discipline Uncle Jun. It's been hard on you.”

Leng Yuan did not say anything. As he turned around, his heart became moist. Why didn't she accept him? He had long since heard about the agreement from his wife. She had worked so hard, but her smile was always warm, patient and strong. If she followed him, he would love and care for her at all times, as if she were his lover in his previous life.

He was sincere. She clearly knew and could see him, but she pretended not to see. As for him … He followed her lead and pretended that every sincere words were a joke.

Love but not, ask not, the heart is lost, strong spirit.
