”Lady Xu, why are you so tense? Are you afraid?” A cold voice rang out. He lit up a cigarette, and the smell of the cigarette floated up to Lady Xu's nose. She frowned.
Rubbing her nose, she replied, ”I'm not afraid.”
”While I was gone, how were you doing at Qiantang Bay?”
”When I was with Mejuan, Uncle Leng would occasionally pick up some food. Because of the conflict between him and Lu Ni Yun, he didn't eat well at home. That's why he ran over to Yuting Bay to eat.”
”Is there nothing else to tell me?” Leng Lie's arm shook, causing Lady Xu to feel as though her head was about to be shaken out of her head.
What else did she have to say to him … Could it be that she was really telling him about Leng Yuan liking her? She didn't feel like her life was that hard. If she said that, then this Leng Lie would have twisted her head off on the spot.
”Lady Xu, I asked you a question. Other than those things, nothing else happened?” Looking at Leng Lie's serious expression, Lady Xu became nervous. Had he found out about Leng Yuan's situation? Otherwise, why was it so terrifying?
”Leng Lie, do you know something?” Lady Xu asked carefully. Her face, which was as red as spring, had turned white in an instant.
Leng Lie frowned, he hooked his fingers under her chin, and with a trace of probing in his deep eyes, he slowly spoke as if he was interrogating a prisoner, ”Lady Xu, what are you hiding from me? You'd better explain it all to me. ”
”No, that can't be right. If Leng Lie really knew about Leng Yuan's matter, he wouldn't have come here to denounce him.” The way he acted when he wanted to know, caused others to suspect that he didn't know about the matter regarding Leng Yuan.
Lady Xu closed her eyes and pretended that she did not want to say it but was afraid that she would be punished and had to say it out loud, ”I thought it would be disappointing to say it. ”But since you really want to know, I don't mind telling you.”
Looking at the probing look in her eyes, Lady Xu slowly opened her mouth and said, ”While you are not here, I will dream about you at night. However, it is all bad dreams.”
The man's eyelashes fluttered, but he remained silent. The air suddenly became quiet, causing Lady Xu to feel a little panicked. She looked timidly at the man in front of her and felt her heart pounding.
As Leng Lie's hand swept towards her, Lady Xu instinctively closed her eyes, expecting Leng Lie to hit her. She closed her eyes tightly for a few seconds, but nothing happened. Only then did she slowly open her eyes.
”Baji.” After saying that, Leng Lie moved closer to her forehead and gave her a kiss. ”Your dream is rather realistic.”
Lady Xu frowned slightly. ”What did you go to do when you were away on a business trip? I feel that after you came back this time, you became thinner and darker. ”
In just a few short days, he had aroused a lot of suspicion in the crowd. In addition to Lord Leng's welcoming ceremony, it was even more inconceivable.
In the face of Lady Xu's question, Leng Lie did not bother to explain, ”Why do you care where I went and what I did? I'm not looking for a woman outside anyway. ”
While the two of them were talking, a knocking sound suddenly came from outside. Lady Xu panicked. She pulled the blanket over her coldly and hugged her tightly, revealing only her head.
Then he put on his robe and went out.
”Eldest Young Master, Madam has made some soup for you to drink.” The person who spoke was Xu Yanmei's servant. The servants of the Leng Clan all called her Aunt Yun.
This Auntie Yun was extremely ugly, but because she was good at jesting and laughing, she became the favorite of Xu Yanmei. Whether it was Xu Yanmei who went out to work or wherever she went, she was always brought along with her. He didn't know why, but maybe it was because there was a contrast.
”Help me thank my mother, Aunt Yun.” Leng Lie took the plate and Aunt Yun nodded before closing the door.
The smell of the ribs filled the entire room, and it just so happened that the hungry Lady Xu rushed up as if she wanted Leng Lie to make her a bowl of soup.
Just as her hand came into contact with his, a cold and fierce slap fiercely landed on her hand.
”You can't drink this.” He picked them up and poured them all into the toilet.
Lady Xu was dumbfounded. Her resentful eyes were filled with grievance as she said, ”Leng Lie, you would rather throw it away than let me drink it. You are really …”
She didn't know what to say to this man in front of her.
The veins on Leng Lie's body bulged, and he said angrily, ”What are you going to drink? Can you drink that? ”
”You also want to drink the soup that Lu Ni Yun brought over. You also want to drink it this time as well. Didn't I explain it clearly to you last time?”
Lady Xu's eyes reddened. ”What did you say last time? Can you stop yelling at me now, I'm afraid. ”
After getting used to the free and unfettered life at Yu Ting Wan, she wasn't used to Leng Lie's arrival. In addition to Leng Lie's angry roar just now, she was immediately frightened. Her sparkling tears flowed down her fair cheeks. The salty taste caused her to suffer greatly. Why couldn't this man's temper be changed? Do you have a lot of work to do?
Leng Lie thought for a moment and felt that his attitude was too unyielding. Taking a deep breath, he embraced Lady Xu's waist and said, ”Just now, I was too impatient. However, you really should be shouted at.”
Lady Xu turned her head away and continued crying.
Leng Lie had no choice but to explain the situation to Lady Xu. ”It doesn't matter what soup Lu Yanyun gave you, or what soup Xu Yanmei gave you, don't drink it.”
”I already told you that before.”
”That's because?”
Leng Lie pursed his lips and thought about the dishes on the plate, ”You should know what my stepmother is thinking.” Leng Yuan didn't want to go against me, but those two women weren't easy to deal with. When you marry into the Leng Clan, the last thing they want is for you to marry me and give birth to a child. ”If the child was born, if he was a man, then there would be no need for me, the stepmother, to take on the inheritance right.”
