Leng Minxing caught her in his arms, sharply sensing the unease radiating from her.
Although he didn’t know what had caused her to change like this, just the thought that someone else had upset her filled Leng Minxing with a surge of anger.
“Husband, why did you come down? Is work over?” Seeing him, Luo Xi felt relieved and then asked with some confusion.
“I came down to pick you up.” Leng Minxing reached out and scratched the tip of her nose, asking, “What’s wrong? You look unhappy today.”
Luo Xi smiled faintly and shook her head. “It’s nothing, just thinking about some unpleasant things. But it’s all okay now.” Seeing him made all her worries fade away.
Noticing her returning to her usual self, Leng Minxing’s frown eased slightly.
Well, he would ask Anan what had happened to her later.
He didn’t believe that nothing had occurred.
“Are you hungry?” Leng Minxing asked casually as he led her towards the private elevator.
“I’m not hungry.” Luo Xi shook her head. She had a milk tea on the way and still felt a bit full.
“Hey, little sister-in-law, long time no see!”
Ouyang Xuan was about to head downstairs angrily when he saw Leng Minxing coming up with Luo Xi, and he called out. His eyes brightened. He had thought he would need to go to the villa to pick her up, but here Leng Minxing had brought her directly. Wait, hadn’t he just gone downstairs a moment ago? It was impossible for him to make a round trip in just a few minutes. Could it be that sister-in-law had called to visit, so he rushed downstairs, straightening his clothes, to pick her up?
The thought made Ouyang Xuan’s face twitch.
When did the boss become so concerned about appearances?
Although he felt a bit amused, he still greeted them politely with a smile.
“Long time no see.” Luo Xi smiled, thinking to herself that the script only gave him that line. He said it was a long time no see, but it wasn’t long at all!
“Sister-in-law, you’re here to see the boss, right? I won’t interrupt your couple time then. See you at the Night Charm later.” He waved his hand and smiled.
“Huh?” Luo Xi looked at Leng Minxing, a bit confused. “Are you going to Night Charm later?”
“There’s a dinner invitation later. We’re going together.”
Luo Xi blinked, pointing to herself. “You mean I’m going too?”
Leng Minxing looked at her with amusement. “Hmm, do you want to go?”
“Is it a business meeting or something?” Luo Xi asked nervously.
“Not really, just a casual dinner,” he explained.
“Oh, good. I don’t want to sit at the same table with those people at the old residence anyway.” Luo Xi’s eyes lit up.
She really didn’t want to eat while being scrutinized. It would make her uneasy.
Leng Minxing ruffled her hair, knowing how much she disliked those people. It was uncomfortable for her to be under the same roof with them. He felt it was unfair to put her in that situation.
“If you don’t like it, we can go home anytime.” In his eyes, only the villa felt like home.
The old residence was filled with calculations and threats. He didn’t want Luo Xi to be exposed to such danger.
She didn’t need to wrong herself for those people. They weren’t worth it.
Luo Xi felt warmth in her heart. “I know, but I don’t want to let them off so easily.” She smiled mischievously.
