C91 (2/2)

”Hmm?”

”The charm and beauty of money. Is it really that powerful? Why are these women so absent-minded when they see you? ”

A trace of ridicule flashed in his black eyes. ”When you saw me back then, didn't you also lose your soul?”

”Me?” Lady Xu was depressed, ”When did I lose my soul? It was just a desperate situation back then. ”

”You're not much different from those women. In the end, didn't you end up in my bed?”

Beauty Xu was at a loss for words, while Wen Xiu's face turned ugly. She lowered her eyebrows and casually asked, ”There's not much of a difference?”

”Yes!” Leng Lie hugged Lady Xu even tighter. ”You look very much like her.”

Boom …

As Lady Xu fell into a daze, the picture of that woman flashed through her mind. She raised her hand to touch her own face, panicked, as if she was blocked. Indeed, his face was the reason why Leng Lie saved her.

Previously, he didn't know if he should rejoice at having this face, or loathe it, but at this moment, he had a clear answer.

They were two people, but one of them kept popping up. The three words, Cheng Xi Yu, appeared like a ghost in every place, every person's mouth. She thought she would be numb, but she had never been numb.

Every time he heard this name, his heart would tremble. They say that the greatest enemy is not standing in the light or in the dark, but in the heart. Despite being hugged by this man, she still felt cold.

His entire body felt like it had fallen into a glacier. The more he struggled, the deeper he sank. The doting look in the eyes on the island, the teasing look on his face, and the nervous jump on the sea were all just a whim of this man. He always reminded himself that he was just a plaything. He shouldn't try to fall in love with such a cruel man like Leng Lie. He warned himself again and again. Why did he still have to face every single one of his actions, and every single word would cause ripples?

How he hated himself! It was one thing for him to be unable to see through Leng Lie, but why … He couldn't even see through himself?

Leng Lie could faintly sense that something was amiss with Lady Xu. He suddenly realized that his words were a little too heavy. He knew she didn't like his contemptuous words, but he still couldn't help but hurt her.

He felt that he had made a mistake, but Leng Lie had never said the words' I'm sorry '. He gently caressed Lady Xu's back. The warmth from his palm was transmitted over, but he did not let her feel it at all.

The two of them hugged each other tightly. They could feel each other's body temperature, but their hearts never felt the slightest bit of contact. Lady Xu felt that she was very, very far away from Leng Lie.

As the sound of footsteps approached, Lady Xu glanced over and saw Leng Yuan. Leng Yuan was wearing a blue suit and was in high spirits. His tall and sturdy figure allowed the suit to display its great value. Lady Xu subconsciously tried to break free from Leng Lie's embrace. Leng Lie also caught a glimpse of Leng Yuan. However, he held her down tightly, not giving her the chance to walk away.

Seeing that she was unable to struggle, only Leng Lie held onto her head even more tightly. It was as though Leng Lie was doing this on purpose for Leng Yuan to see.

When Leng Yuan saw this scene, he felt a hint of stiffness. When he met Leng Lie's gaze, he greeted, ”Big brother.”

Leng Lie nodded his head. ”Where are you going?”

”I'm just walking around for a bit.” In fact, he only wanted to take a look at Lady Xu, but did not expect to see such a scene.

After passing by that face that he had been thinking about day and night, Leng Yuan hurriedly said that sentence and walked away in a disorderly manner. Lady Xu tried her best to calm herself down as she clenched her fingers tightly. A trace of heartache and indescribable sadness flashed across her lowered eyes.

Without waiting for her to have any thoughts, Leng Lie pinched her cheek, ”Lady Xu, it's best if you don't cause any trouble for me when the date is agreed upon!”

”Why would I want to cause trouble?”

”Ask yourself that.” Leng Lie clenched his fists tightly. ”Don't think that I don't know about the matter between you and Leng Yuan!”

Lady Xu's hands and feet are cold ….” Gu Wei wanted to open his mouth to explain, but he didn't expect Leng Lie to directly push her away. Like a kite that had lost its string, Lady Xu fell backwards. After falling down, she felt waves of pain on her butt.

The man looked down at him condescendingly. ”I can't ignore the way Leng Yuan looks at you. If you don't clean yourself up, or have other thoughts towards Leng Yuan, don't blame me for turning hostile. ”

”Leng Lie, Leng Yuan and I are innocent.” Lady Xu stood up from the ground, holding back her sore nose and said, ”If you misunderstand, you can strangle me right now.”

Anyway, pinching her wasn't the first or second time, so what harm was there in doing so again? Whether he lived or died, it all depended on a single thought from Leng Lie. He had thought that Leng Yuan was the one who had taken the initiative to engage in a showdown with Leng Lie, which was why Leng Lie was so wary of him. Never would he have thought that Leng Yuan had not told Leng Lie before. Leng Lie only relied on Leng Yuan's gaze to say these words.

When had Leng Yuan's feelings for him become so deep? From the start, she had felt that this wasn't a good thing, but a burden. She was just a thin and weak woman. What love, what Wealthy Class, all had nothing to do with her. However, fate just didn't seem to understand. She had to be infected by this so-called love and Wealthy Class.

His conversation with Leng Yuan had no effect at all. He did not know what to do to stop Leng Yuan from continuing to misunderstand him.

”It's too easy to strangle you to death. To destroy the harmony between us brothers, that is the most complicated. Lady Xu, you better stay away from Leng Yuan. ”

”I've been keeping my distance from you. If you really can't feel at ease, then let me go.” This was the first time that Lady Xu had suggested asking Leng Lie to let her go. Although her heart was perturbed, she felt that she should say it. If Leng Lie agreed, he would be free.

What is it that can be taken off, what is it that can be taken off, what is it that cannot be taken off, all of it is null and void. As time passed, the grudges and grudges between them would slowly fade away.

”Lady Xu!” Leng Lie pressed down on Lady Xu's shoulder and dragged her into the office. He bellowed, ”Don't challenge my patience. Don't mention letting you go. ”
