C175 (1/2)
She was back. What could she do? The decision was in Leng Lie's hands. It was his business that she should leave before the date of the agreement. Now that the date for the agreement had passed, he had even more reason to let himself go.
However, thinking about it, she felt that it was weird. Why would she ask Cheng Xiyu when she was back? Because he pitied her? Did she think that no one would dare to take her, even if she sold him?
Xu Jiaren's heart hurt, like the tip of a bee's tail piercing into her chest. Why, when it came to Cheng Xiyu, did she feel like something was wrong?
Xu Jiaren smiled faintly as she looked at the pair of pitch black, deep eyes. ”Isn't it good that she's back?
This way, a lover would finally be married off. Happy for you. ”I …”
Leng Lie glared at Xu Jiaren angrily, flung him to the side and walked into the room. Seemingly, he was not too satisfied with Xu Jiaren's answer.
Xu Jiaren was right at the door. Could it be that the man drinking wine and shouting Cheng Xiyu's name wasn't him? That was her deep love. Shouldn't she wish him well? Thinking of this, Xu Jiaren's tears began to flow. She wanted to bless him, she had choked up when she spoke, but she tried to force herself to say the words.
It was just that Leng Lie was no longer in front of him, her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife, the pain made her entire body feel uncomfortable. Leng Yuan moved into his eyes like a ghost, his delicate and pretty eyes bearing too much love.
Leng Yuan stood in a corner on the third floor that only Xu Jiaren could see. He had a solemn face, and felt that Xu Jiaren should not degrade him like that. Even though he knew that the person his big brother liked was a different woman, he still tried his best to protect her. He couldn't understand why she wouldn't agree to his request, even if she said that she didn't love him.
Was it because Leng Yuan was not worth entrusting his entire life to? His heart felt heavy, as if it had been poured with lead. He was so tired that he just wanted to sleep and didn't want to wake up.
Xu Jiaren stood in place, her phoenix eyes brimming with awkwardness. She shook her head towards Leng Yuan, then carefully closed the door. Leng Yuan disappeared into the crack of the door, little by little. Towards Leng Yuan, besides gratitude, she was also afraid.
Occasionally, when a kind-hearted person became ruthless, he would become a terrifying person.
After closing the door, Xu Jiaren walked towards Leng Lie: ”What happened to you today? Why did you never let anyone know why you were always so unpredictable to me? ”You just left …”
Xu Jiaren felt wronged from the bottom of her heart, she did not even dare to speak too loudly, afraid that she would feel that she cared too much.
Her angular face seemed to become cold, and this man gave off an estranged aura. Seeing that Leng Lie was silent, Xu Jiaren could only turn around.
But just as he turned around, Leng Lie suddenly hugged him from behind.
His ears were hot and wet. ”Xu Jiaren, I'm in a mess right now.”
Xu Jiaren deeply understood that the one who could make Leng Lie lose control like this was that woman. What did the lady say to Leng Lie? Why did she make Leng Lie lose control so quickly? To love a person deeply is to worry about gains and losses.
”Leng Lie, you should actually feel happy. Since she has contacted you, he must want to come back. ”
”Be quiet.” Leng Lie frowned, can't this woman say something nice? She did not understand his mood.
”…” Xu Jiaren stiffened her body and tightly shut her lips.
Leng Lie carried the woman before him and slowly placed her on the bed. He stepped forward and gently stroked the long hair of the woman. As he lay quietly with her, he suddenly felt that his messy heart was somewhat comforted.
Suddenly, a sound of someone smashing something came from upstairs. Xu Jiaren was terrified in her heart, and the moment she thought about Leng Yuan's pair of clear eyes, she became even more uneasy. Previously, Leng Yuan had felt that Leng Lie was not good to her, but for this reason, he hoped that she would be able to stay by his side after the agreement was made.
He clearly saw Leng Lie's actions this time. It was likely that he felt that this woman was extremely ignorant of the current situation, and was extremely ignorant of what was good for her.
Actually, Leng Lie still did not understand her plans. She hoped that after the agreement was over, he could find a job by himself and live a good life without marrying. In her heart, she was already unable to tolerate other men.
If she really had to sacrifice one of them, she would rather die than do anything. Because it was too tiring... In this life, what people feared the most was to have guilt and live on.
The noise upstairs was getting louder and louder, and Xu Jiaren did not dare to go up at this time, but when would the commotion upstairs end?
Upstairs.
The figure of a well-built man was shaking in the room. With red eyes, Ah Xin was really frightened by him. The ground was littered with things, broken pieces of glass flashing with colors.
Ah Xin rubbed his stomach, and said pitifully: ”Hubby, don't scare the child.”
Hearing the word 'child', Leng Yuan became much quieter. He walked to Ah Xin's side and hugged Ah Xin, feeling uneasy. How he wished that the man he embraced at this moment was the man he loved deeply? If time went back, he thought, he would rather never have said I love you. Thus, she was still his sister-in-law, and he was also her brother-in-law. Between the two of them, they had more opportunities to interact.
He had personally lost this opportunity. How painful was it for him to comprehend this. Why couldn't he hold it in? Later, later. Isn't it better to make sister-in-law confess when she's in love with me?
