Feng Lingye paused again, and seeing that her face had turned red with anger, he suddenly felt a twinge of jealousy.
Why did that guy, Leng Minxing, have such good luck?
“Okay, okay, I was wrong. Is that enough? Don’t look at me like I’m your enemy. I said it was just a joke.” He raised his hand in a gesture of defeat.
Only then did Luo Xi let out a cold snort and sit back down.
This was a sensitive topic for her because these things did happen in her previous life. Now that everything was different from the previous life, she firmly believed that nothing would go wrong.
But when Feng Lingye mentioned it just now, it still made her heart race unconsciously!
At this point, she had no mood to read.
Right now, all Luo Xi wanted was to see Leng Minxing immediately. Only when he was really by her side would she feel at ease.
Thinking of this, Luo Xi quickly closed the book she had just opened and said hastily, “I’ll head out now. You can take your time reading.”
Feng Lingye frowned, a little annoyed. “You’re not going to do that, are you? You’re really going to cut ties with me just because I said something bad about your husband?” How heartless!
“Hmph, I’ll let it slide this time since you’ve helped me. But I suddenly remembered I have some things to do, so I won’t be studying today. I’ll review tonight instead.” Luo Xi suppressed the emotions that nearly overflowed from her chest and tried to appear calm.
Feng Lingye’s eyes flickered, but in the end he said nothing.
Watching Luo Xi’s slightly flustered steps, he frowned. He had only said something about Leng Minxing, so how could she lie like that?
…
“Husband, where are you?”
Once in the car, Luo Xi called Leng Minxing in a muffled voice.
The person on the other end tightened his tone. “I’m at the company. What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, I just missed you…”
Leng Minxing paused, his face slightly surprised. Although he knew Luo Xi often expressed her feelings for him, this level of depth was new.
He should have felt happy, but instead his heart sank slightly, and a hint of worry washed over him. “Where are you? I’ll come pick you up.”
“I’m in the car. Are you off work? Can I come find you?” Luo Xi asked softly.
Hearing this, Leng Minxing relaxed a bit, and his tone softened a little. “If you want to come, just come. I’ll wait for you.”
…
“I can’t believe it. We agreed to go out for drinks tonight. You’re not actually leaving, are you?” Ouyang Xuan protested as soon as he saw Leng Minxing answering a call.
“Hey, bro, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t even want to go to Yu Long’s gathering. What will I do if you leave? That guy is not easy to deal with!” Ouyang Xuan said anxiously.
“I’ll go pick up Xixi first. We can talk about the rest tonight. If you’re scared, let Black Hawk accompany you,” Leng Minxing replied without looking back.
At these words, Black Hawk, who was sitting over there drinking tea and watching the show, stiffened slightly.
Ouyang Xuan’s face also turned into disgust when he heard this. “I don’t want him to go with me. If he does, people might think he’s my bodyguard. How embarrassing! You promised to go with me. You know how terrifying Yu Long can be. How can you let your youngest brother walk into danger? Boo hoo!” He exaggeratedly wiped away imaginary tears.
Leng Minxing’s mouth twitched.
Behind him, Black Hawk wore an expression of disgust.
“Besides, you’re the one who accepted the invitation. If you don’t go, they might think you’re standing them up.”
