Leng Minxing paused slightly, and Luo Xi looked at him in confusion.
He reached out and pulled her to the side. When Luo Xi realized he didn’t want her to listen, she grew anxious and leaned in to hear better. However, Leng Minxing pressed her down with one hand, causing her to end up nestled in his arms.
He patted her on the head, pulled her to sit on his lap, and then spoke, “Grandma, don’t worry about this.”
“How can I not worry? Don’t let it escalate. After all, the Bai family has a good relationship with us. And there’s Yaya, if she finds out, it would hurt her so much.”
“Heh?” Leng Minxing sneered, “This is what she deserves.”
The old lady fell silent for two seconds before asking, “Has she angered you again?”
“If she were just annoying me, I might not care. But Bai Yaya has provoked Xixi repeatedly. Xixi is my wife. I can’t let anyone bully her. What’s more, Bai Yaya has made many mistakes. Not directly acquiring the Bai family was already considering your feelings, grandma.”
Luo Xi tightened her expression.
She recalled what Xiao Yu had said. Could it be that Leng Minxing was angry because he heard from Xiao Yu that Bai Yaya had made her steal the blood jade, so he targeted the Bai family?
At the time, she didn’t think much of it since Bai Yaya doing something like that wasn’t surprising to her. She didn’t expect that this man would think so much for her.
Feeling touched, she couldn’t help but nuzzle his chin.
Leng Minxing looked down at the lovely person in his arms and rested his chin on her forehead.
The old lady on the other end was silent for a long while before saying, “Although I don’t know exactly what happened, it is indeed her fault for continually provoking Xixi. After all, Xixi is my granddaughter-in-law. I won’t let her suffer in vain. Grandma supports you in this matter!”
“Thank you, grandma.” Leng Minxing smiled faintly.
After hanging up the phone, Luo Xi anxiously asked, “What did she say? Did grandma blame you?”
“Guess.” Leng Minxing scratched the tip of her nose.
Seeing his playful expression, Luo Xi guessed that everything was fine. She said nonchalantly, “If she blamed you, how could you still be in the mood for a game of guessing?”
Leng Minxing chuckled, “You’re quite clever.”
“Well, this Bai Yaya is really boring. She even went to steal my jade pendant. Do you think she heard that you bought that pendant for an exorbitant price, so she got jealous and did this?” Luo Xi speculated.
Leng Minxing hadn’t thought about that, but seeing her suspicious little eyes, it was hard to refuse, so he nodded in agreement.
Upon seeing this, Luo Xi snorted again and said, “So boring!”
“Yeah, boring.”
Hearing him agree, Luo Xi felt happy and decided not to dwell on it any longer. As long as she was happy, that was enough. She stretched out her arms to wrap around his waist and nuzzled against him, saying, “Then let’s go to sleep!”
Leng Minxing looked down at the girl in his arms, who was smiling and satisfied, and his breath grew a little heavier.
“Alright…” He pressed down.
“Mm!”
Luo Xi only felt a warmth on her lips before shadows filled her vision, and then she realized what the man had done.
She widened her eyes in surprise.
Sensing her distraction, Leng Minxing lightly bit her.
Luo Xi gasped, and then she heard the man’s gentle and lazy voice by her ear.
“Be good, close your eyes.”
In an instant, she felt as if she were under a spell and obediently closed her eyes.
