“Actually, you only need to eat breakfast and dinner as I say every day and have a normal lunch, otherwise I’m afraid you won’t be able to handle it.” Although the plan was developed by Hua Feifei, she had never managed to follow it herself. Who could live on vegetarian food every day?
“I’ve endured a whole week, I’m not afraid to do another week!” Luo Xi said firmly.
Upon hearing this, both Hua Feifei and Zhou Yao exchanged worried glances.
Luo Xi returned home happily, forgetting the pain of dieting these past few days.
The two had been in a cold war for several days. Leng Minxing thought that with Luo Xi’s personality, she would eventually come to him, but a whole week had passed and she showed no signs of doing so. Instead, she seemed even happy, leaving him feeling dejected.
Today, seeing her smiling face like she was in a good mood made him frown slightly. Pretending to be serious, he cleared his throat and said, “You’re back?”
Luo Xi originally didn’t want to talk to him and was heading upstairs when Leng Minxing spoke first. She coldly snorted internally and gave a nonchalant “hmm.”
Leng Minxing narrowed his eyes. “What’s with that attitude?”
“Whatever your attitude, that’s my attitude,” she replied, her tone slightly annoyed.
Leng Minxing’s previous actions made her feel like he was disgusted by her weight gain, which was why he made her lose weight while he ate delicious food in front of her, leaving her to eat bland salads.
Just thinking about it made her angry. She wanted to curse him as a scumbag.
In her previous life, Leng Minxing hadn’t been like this, but Luo Xi began to panic. She realized that at this point in her previous life, she wasn’t so affectionate towards him, and their relationship hadn’t developed so quickly. She was worried that because she was too easily obtainable, he might not cherish her.
On the contrary, it seemed that her previous dislike in the previous life had sparked a sense of conquest in him, making him treat her better?
This thought struck Luo Xi like lightning.
She was truly panicked. His actions that day had made her extremely angry, and she cursed herself for being too proactive and for sleeping with him too soon. Now here she was, proving the saying that what comes too easily is never cherished.
In fact, she was overthinking. If Leng Minxing knew her thoughts, he would be shocked and perhaps even feel very frustrated.
He only intended to teach her a lesson. Why would she imagine so many things from his single action?
If he knew, he would have never done that.
This misunderstanding was one reason for their cold war.
Hearing her words, Leng Minxing rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. “Where did you go?”
“None of your business!” Luo Xi snapped and headed upstairs.
Leng Minxing took a deep breath. “If you don’t want me to care, who else do you expect to care?”
“Just don’t care,” she said, not looking back as she continued upstairs.
Leng Minxing was taken aback. He got up and followed her with a dark face under the strange gazes of the maids.
“Oh my god, did the young master and young madam have a fight?”
“It’s the first time I’ve seen Madam act like this. What did the young master do to offend her? Did he find another woman?”
“Who knows? They haven’t spoken much lately. They weren’t like this before.”
Everyone became worried as they said this.
For the maids, the two masters fighting was certainly not a good sign.
Luo Xi entered the room and found a gift.
She frowned. “Is this from Leng Minxing?”
Could it be that he felt sorry and wanted to apologize?
This thought instantly brightened her gloomy mood, and she regretted having spoken to him with such a tone just now.
With a smile, she hurried over to unwrap the gift.
But upon seeing the contents, her expression darkened completely.
At this moment, Leng Minxing knocked on the door. “Xixi, I’m coming in.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was flung open from the inside, and a packaged box came flying out. Leng Minxing dodged it, and then several more whooshing sounds followed as dark items were tossed out.
“I want to sleep in a separate bed from you!” Luo Xi said fiercely, slamming the door shut.
Leng Minxing frowned in confusion.
What was going on? Had she gotten even angrier?
Looking at the packaging on the floor, he realized it was a set of women’s weight-loss products he had asked Xu Guan to deliver. Since she said she wanted to lose weight, he thought this was what she wanted. Why was she acting like this?
Leng Minxing found it hard to understand what this woman was thinking. He felt a bit annoyed and helpless at the same time.
This girl was just too hard to please.
…
“Boss, did you not rest well last night?” Seeing Leng Minxing with his eyes closed, looking fatigued and irritable, Su Da couldn’t help but ask.
Leng Minxing opened his eyes, which were bloodshot.
He had been kicked out last night. No matter how he called for Luo Xi, she wouldn’t let him in the room. Helpless, Leng Minxing had to sleep in the guest room. How could he sleep without his woman holding him?
Also, Luo Xi seemed really angry. He was also worried that she might really get angry and want a divorce.
Having spent a restless night full of wild thoughts left him feeling groggy when he woke up.
Seeing that Luo Xi was still only eating two boiled eggs, he felt both heartache and anger. He didn’t dare to scold her like before, fearing that the girl might suddenly throw a tantrum and run away from home.
He was feeling very depressed and had no motivation to work.
“Why are women so strange?” he blurted out, unable to help himself.
“What do you mean?” Su Da looked confused and asked.
“She said she wanted to lose weight, so I made her a fruit salad, and now she’s mad at me. I sent her a set of slimming products yesterday, and she ignored me completely.” Leng Minxing lamented.
Su Da had been by his side for several years. Having a female secretary made social interactions easier, and over the years, the two had become friends. Leng Minxing didn’t want Su Da to know now, since she had met Luo Xi.
“Is the president talking about the lady boss?”
Su Da asked.
He nodded.
“Why did Madam suddenly want to lose weight?”
“She thinks she’s gained weight and suddenly wants to lose it, eating very little each day.”
At this point, a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.
Su Da observed his expression and then asked, “Has she said why?”
Leng Minxing thought for a moment and shook his head.
“Women usually have a reason for wanting to lose weight. Either they want to be more beautiful, or they encounter someone that makes them feel inferior, or they suddenly gain weight, causing a sense of crisis.”
“She’s already beautiful. How much more does she want to enhance her looks?” Leng Minxing frowned, not quite understanding.
“Why would someone so beautiful feel insecure?”
“Gaining weight? At most, she’s just a bit rounder. I don’t think that’s serious.”
After hearing this, Su Da pondered for a moment and then said, “Perhaps it’s because you, President, are too outstanding that Madam feels a sense of crisis?”
Leng Minxing liked what he heard and nodded. “That must be it.”
Su Da’s lips twitched slightly before continuing, “And then when you help her diet, it might seem to Madam that you think she’s fat and are disgusted by her body, which is why she’s angry.”
Leng Minxing’s face darkened immediately. “How could I possibly be disgusted by her!”
Su Da cleared his throat. “In situations like this, you shouldn’t support her dieting outright. It might make her misunderstand and overthink. Women are very sensitive. When their man is too attractive, they might fear that you’ll lose interest in them for someone more beautiful. That’s why Madam is so desperate to lose weight.”
Leng Minxing gasped.
How could a single gesture from him lead to such a dramatic narrative in her mind?
“So that’s why she got mad when I offered her a fruit salad and bought her slimming products?”
“I understand now.”
Leng Minxing nodded.
He had thought Luo Xi was just being unreasonable and willful, but now he realized he had been mistaken.
He was about to call her to apologize when suddenly the phone from the villa rang.
“Young Master, Madam has fainted! Please come back quickly!”
His face turned pale as he stood up abruptly. “What?!”
