FMLRWS Chapter 680

Upon hearing this, Leng Youran’s face stiffened slightly, but she didn’t say anything further. She gave the two of them a complicated look and then pulled Lin Xuan away.

“Sure enough, people do say that relationships in large families can be complicated. Now it seems that’s not without reason.” Luo Xi clicked her tongue as she watched the two of them leave.

Leng Minxing’s expression remained calm, as if such matters no longer affected him.

“Let’s go back. We have to go to work soon.”

Luo Xi nodded and instinctively checked her phone for the time, only to remember that her phone was broken. She looked up at him with a wronged expression. “It’s broken.”

Leng Minxing reached out and pinched her cheek. “I’ll have someone bring you a new one later. Is there a brand you prefer?”

“I’m fine with anything,” Luo Xi replied, showing she didn’t have high demands. She reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone. She glanced at the time, realizing she had only half an hour until work. “I won’t take a break. I spent all morning listening to gossip and didn’t finish my work.”

Leng Minxing nodded. He knew her work routine because his subordinates reported on it daily. The tasks were relatively light, so he let it go.

Not long after this incident, Lin Xuan and Leng Youran left the country.

The two elders had started traveling again after Lin Xuan’s engagement, so they remained unaware of the events. Leng Youran begged Leng Minxing not to tell them, and he agreed.

The atmosphere at home seemed even colder because of what had happened recently.

During this time, the second wife took her two children on holiday and didn’t return. Wang Yaru’s family seemed busy with their own affairs, as they were rarely seen around. Each time Luo Xi returned home, the old residence felt empty and the atmosphere was quiet.

However, Luo Xi was busy with work, so she paid little mind until one day her family made a rare phone call to her.

“Xixi, how are things with Young Master Leng? Is he treating you well?” her mother’s voice came through.

Luo Xi replied honestly that Leng Minxing was as good to her as ever. They didn’t argue over small matters like most couples.

Even she herself found it strange. While they didn’t have deep emotions, they clearly liked each other. She could feel Leng Minxing’s affection for her, which didn’t feel fake at all. Given her life experiences with him in her previous life, she found no issues.

Yet, Luo Xi felt something was still missing.

As for what it was, she couldn’t quite figure it out.

“That’s good to hear. You haven’t been home in months, and the family misses you. Tomorrow your cousin’s family is coming to visit. You should come and play. You and your cousin, Luo Yuan, haven’t seen each other in years. Your second aunt specifically asked me about you this time,” her mother said with a hint of longing in her voice.

Hearing this, Luo Xi took a moment to search her memories and finally recalled Luo Yuan.

Many years ago, the Luo family was considered well-off, but an accident led to their downfall. Eventually, those who could leave did, and only Luo Xi’s family remained in the city.

Luo Yuan’s family was now the most successful among the remaining Luo clan. When they were younger, the two families often visited each other. Luo Xi was a year older than Luo Yuan, and they even attended the same kindergarten.

However, the two girls had not gotten along since childhood, mainly due to the competition instigated by their parents. Luo Xi’s mother and Luo Yuan’s mother would always compare their children when together.

Back then, Luo Xi was very beautiful, and Luo Xi’s mother always brought this up to show off whenever she was with Luo Yuan’s mother.
