FMLRWS Chapter 511

Given the tense situation, with both sides unwilling to give an inch in their pursuit of the mayor position, any hint of scandal at this time could severely damage reputations. A single misstep could lead to a lost opportunity, which clearly favored the vice mayor.

Moreover, with Luo Xi’s background, Jiang Zhe believed that the vice mayor would likely be happy to help.

“I’ll help you contact the vice mayor. Whether he can be persuaded to assist will depend on your friend,” he said.

Jiang Yanyan nodded vigorously.

Luo Xi was thrilled to hear that Jiang Yanyan’s father would help, and she hung up the phone happily.

It wasn’t long before Leng Minxing walked in and asked her, “Are you hungry?”

Having eaten all the snacks for the whole afternoon, she was naturally not hungry, so she shook her head.

Leng Minxing said in a deep voice, “People from the old residence may come back soon.”

Luo Xi immediately understood who had called him.

If her parents were aware, then those at the old residence would definitely know too.

If the two boys stepped forward to take responsibility, she would be seen as the victim. But if they didn’t, she would be labeled a reckless blogger, and she knew all too well how that would play out online.

She had lost her appetite for checking Weibo.

“Did Grandma and the others blame you?” She looked worriedly at Leng Minxing.

Although outsiders might not know her connection with the Leng family, such a big incident would surely anger the family.

“Why would they blame me?” Leng Minxing looked at her helplessly.

“Yes, if you want to blame someone, blame me.” Luo Xi said with guilt, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have been so reckless.”

“It’s not your fault. But next time you do something, you need to tell me beforehand, alright?” He deliberately said angrily with a serious face.

“I was afraid you wouldn’t let me drive…”

Leng Minxing narrowed his eyes. “When did you learn to drive? I just heard your father say you’ve never driven before, but you told Anan you learned at home?”

This bad girl really knew how to lie.

A sense of annoyance washed over him. How many things was she hiding from him?

Luo Xi felt more guilty under his gaze.

Oh no, how could she explain this?

Should she admit that in her previous life someone taught her?

Would he think she was crazy?

Fidgeting with her hands, she stammered, “I, I learned in secret. My dad doesn’t know.”

Leng Minxing could tell she was lying at a glance, and his expression darkened. Well, since she didn’t want to talk about it, he didn’t press the issue.

After a long moment of silence from him, Luo Xi sneaked a glance at him, only to find him also looking at her. She was startled and quickly averted her gaze like a frightened rabbit, her hands twisting tighter together.

“Alright, I wasn’t planning to blame you. Why are you so scared?” Leng Minxing stretched out his hand and tucked a few stray strands of hair behind her ear.

Hearing this, Luo Xi felt a little relief but also more guilt.

While she had her reasons for keeping things from him, he wasn’t pressing her for answers, which made her feel a little sorry.

“You’re so kind, husband.” She reached out to hug him, but he pulled her into his arms instead, a hint of amusement in his voice. “As long as you know I’m good.”

Luo Xi smiled softly, feeling her worries fade as she enjoyed this moment of peace.
