C78 (1/2)

Leng Yuan smiled unnaturally, ”I didn't even know you were here. I came here because last time, the servant said that the water pipe here was broken, so I came over to take a look.”

”Oh, it's like this. Come in first.” Lady Xu opened the door and asked, ”Did you just come here from the company or from home?”

Leng Yuan walked in and stood by Lady Xu's side. ”I came from the house and just happened to hear about it from a servant.”

”Why are you here?” Leng Yuan pretended not to know, ”I was wondering why you weren't at home and didn't go to the company. I didn't expect you to be here.”

Lady Xu nodded and said blandly, ”Your brother is out and I don't know when he will come back. I thought it would be boring not to go to the company, so I told my father that I would be here and bring some friends to stay with me.”

She played it lightly and did not explain the matter between Leng Lie and her to Leng Yuan. There were some things that she could explain clearly, but they were useless.

After Leng Yuan entered, he took a look around the room and strolled around. He seemed to be looking at the room, but his gaze was fixated on Lady Xu.

Lady Xu who was picking the vegetables seemed to have thought of something. She turned her head and said to Leng Yuan, ”Leng Yuan, this is my friend. His name is Mei Juan.”

Leng Yuan shifted his gaze to Mei Juan and nodded. ”Mei Juan is a very pleasant name. My name is Leng Yuan, I'm Leng Lie's younger brother.”

Mejuan bared her eight teeth. ”Hello.”

”Hello.”

After the two of them said hello, they both became embarrassed. Should they still say something?

Mejuan felt that there was nothing much to say, so she immediately fled.

”Leng Yuan, are you going to eat here or at home?”

Without even thinking about it, Leng Yuan blurted out, ”I'll eat here.”

Mejuan was a little confused. The gentle man in front of her was looking at her with a complicated gaze. However, he was Leng Lie's younger brother. Even though he was a half-brother, he was also related by blood. To fall in love with a beauty, this man must be suffering internally, right?

As she walked to the side of Lady Xu, Mei Juan winked at her, her meaning clear. Lady Xu could feel it too. Leng Yuan's eyes did not seem to hide anything, but instead appeared to be calm. This made her extremely flustered.

She couldn't afford these things. Moreover, it was such a complicated relationship.

Her tired heart sank. She could only hope that Leng Yuan would wake up sooner and understand that it was completely impossible for them to be together. He wanted to have a good chat with Leng Yuan, but Leng Yuan avoided him. When he fled, she was too embarrassed to say anything.

At this moment, Leng Yuan was here. He hoped that he would be able to leave after this meal in order to prevent others from misunderstanding.

Leng Yuan walked to the other side of the sofa and sat down. His phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Lu Yanyun. He did not hang up or answer it, leaving the phone ringing like this.

Because it was silent, neither Lady Xu nor Mei Juan could hear him.

”Juan'er, go sit. I want to fry vegetables now.”

”Alright.”

Mejuan also sat down on the sofa. Leng Yuan smiled and moved it a little.

The TV show was playing. Mejuan's eyes were focused on the TV, but her attention was not on the TV show.

Leng Yuan also felt uneasy. After all, the two of them could be considered strangers. They did not have the same circle of friends, nor did they have the same topic of conversation.

”Are you married?” Mejuan wanted to find a topic to talk about, but she regretted it the moment she said it.

Embarrassed, she didn't know where to put her hands. She forced a smile and said, ”About that, I'm sorry …”

Leng Yuan, however, did not take it to heart. ”I'm married. I've lived with my wife for a few years.”

Mei Juan was stunned. She did not expect Leng Yuan to answer her question so straightforwardly and without the slightest hesitation. With this, she let go of the topic to ask.

”You two should have a good relationship with each other, right?”

Leng Yuan gave Mei Juan a sidelong glance and nodded.

Mejuan was thinking, if the relationship between husband and wife is not bad, why does he still like a beauty? It would be difficult for a beauty to live in the Leng Clan. If they were to have this sort of relationship again, would they even need to live this long?

There was a message in her words, ”Since you have a good relationship, that's a good thing. Nowadays, there aren't many good men left. You and your wife have a good relationship.

”Women are strange creatures. Once you marry this man, you will have to spend your whole life thinking about it. Very few people would choose to quit halfway, unless the man is too inhuman. These days, desire is rampant. Men who have a bit of money like to play with women are often the ones who abandon their wives. ”

”You have an imposing aura and a successful career, but you are still able to have such a good relationship with your wife. You are truly a good man. A good man is a man who wholeheartedly treats his wife. Do you think I'm right? ”

Among the lines of Mei Juan's words, she hoped that Leng Yuan would remember her wife's good points and not think about things that were useless to her. This way, she would give both parties a lot of pressure.

Leng Yuan frowned as he understood Mei Juan's intention. But he was unable to control himself.

In the blink of an eye, he felt that he was missing something when he couldn't see the beauty. Something was wrong with his entire body, as he wanted to see her.

He had thought that he loved his wife the most, that he could control his emotions and emotions, that he could control this special feeling, but he had never imagined that his heart would always be led away, even if that person had inadvertently intervened.

Leng Yuan looked at Lady Xu. That person's back was so familiar. Since when did he like to stand behind her and look at her? Perhaps it was when she first came to the Leng Clan. She couldn't remember when exactly, but this figure still lingered in her heart, accompanied by that smile and that stubborn pleading.

Seeing Leng Yuan act like this, Mei Juan sighed in her heart. It's over … This man was hopeless. She played the part of a husband and wife, but it did not affect the man's expression in the slightest.
