Just as she was thinking about it, a cold male voice rang out behind her.
Luo Xi turned around and saw Leng Minxing had returned. In an instant, she forgot about Leng Yuan and happily ran over to him, throwing her arms around him. She tilted her head up and kissed his chin, saying sweetly, “You’re back!”
“Mm.” The gloom in Leng Minxing’s eyes vanished the moment he felt the girl’s affection.
“Look, it’s all done here. How about that? Impressive, right?” Luo Xi pointed to the surroundings, boasting.
Although she hadn’t done it herself, the task had been carried out at her command, and now that it was successfully completed, she felt a little happy inside.
Leng Minxing glanced around, smiling faintly as he nodded. “Very good!”
Luo Xi beamed, “Now we just need to wait for the guests to arrive.”
“Alright, leave the rest to others. You don’t need to do everything yourself,” Leng Minxing said, holding her hand as they walked.
Luo Xi nodded.
Not far away, Leng Yuan watched the two walking away side by side, a cold glint flickering in his eyes.
Although it was Lin Xuan’s engagement party, Leng Minxing didn’t pay much attention to it. After taking Luo Xi away, he didn’t appear again.
The reception of guests was left to other wives and young masters of the Leng family.
Leng Muyu and Leng Me’er were both busy with the reception. Leng Muyu hadn’t seen Luo Xi and felt somewhat puzzled. Although everyone was in the same villa, the chances of running into each other were quite rare.
This time, he had an important matter to discuss with Luo Xi. A couple of days ago, their mother had told them not to disturb her as she was busy, so he hadn’t sought her out. Thinking he would see her today, he was disappointed to find she was nowhere to be seen. He then asked, “Me’er, have you seen your sister-in-law?”
“Why do you need to find her?”
Leng Me’er had been a bit down these past few days.
After being ridiculed by Lin Xuan and Bai Yaya, she felt greatly hurt. She used to love these occasions, but now she had no mood for it, wearing a sulky expression.
“Just something important.”
“What could be so important? Also, where have you been during the day these past few days? I couldn’t find you. You don’t know how I was bullied. You’re such an unqualified brother!” Usually, the two siblings were inseparable. When someone bullied her, Leng Muyu would always stand up for her. But that day when she was bullied, she couldn’t find him. She ended up crying in her room all day. When she came out, he hadn’t come back yet.
Without anyone to comfort her, Leng Me’er felt like she had been abandoned by the whole world. She felt miserable.
Her tone inevitably carried some complaint.
“Bullied? Who would dare bully a young lady like you?”
Upon hearing this, Leng Muyu couldn’t help but laugh. In this household, aside from Luo Xi, there shouldn’t be any other girls bold enough to challenge her. Could it be her?
“Hmph, who says they wouldn’t dare? That Lin Xuan and Bai Yaya. Ever since they found out we were with Luo Xi, they’ve been looking at me with that condescending attitude every time they see me. It’s so infuriating. It’s all Mom’s fault for making me try to please Luo Xi. Otherwise, Cousin Lin Xuan and the others wouldn’t treat me like this!”
After thinking it over, Leng Me’er couldn’t help but complain because of Luo Xi.
“Are you saying those who bullied you are Cousin Xuan and Sister Yaya?”
Leng Muyu’s smile faltered, and he looked at her in surprise.
