Upon hearing Yan Zhi's words, Leng Linli's face darkened, his good mood vanished instantly, and his tone changed, his voice becoming low and menacing: "Yan Zhi, say that again!"
Yan Zhi sighed inwardly. Such a good CEO, it's just that his hearing... isn't very good.
Looking at Leng Linli's gloomy expression, Yan Zhi didn't know why he had suddenly become angry. Men's minds are sometimes really hard to fathom. Yan Zhi said, "Grandma is still waiting."
It turns out that Yan Zhi wasn't unprepared not because she was tired, but simply because she didn't want to go with him!
Or perhaps, he wants to go to a nightclub with Su Rao and find eight male models!
Leng Linli clenched his fists. Both of these realizations made him very unhappy.
Leng Linli frowned, a dangerous glint in his eyes: "You don't need to make arrangements. Bai Lian was going anyway. Go change your clothes now."
His thoughtfulness was worthless in her eyes, and Leng Linli clenched her fists even tighter.
Yan Zhi asked, puzzled, "Now that Bai Lian has gone, why should I go?"
“She’s a member of the Leng family, so naturally she has to attend the family banquet. Whether she goes or not, what does it have to do with whether you go or not?” Leng Linli retorted, his jawline taut.
Yan Zhi's smile deepened, and she asked calmly, "No? Your wife and your lover appearing in the same place, I wonder who President Leng is trying to humiliate?"
Leng Linli's expression froze. Was Yan Zhi throwing a tantrum at him?
Because of the white lotus?
She had just thought he didn't want to take her to the family dinner.
Does this mean that Yan Zhi also cares about him?
Even if it's not much.
Thinking of this, Leng Linli's expression softened considerably, though his voice remained unpleasant: "You're overthinking it. I have no such intention. She's going only because she's a member of the Leng family."
Leng Linli offered no explanation for Yan Zhi's considerate words.
“Mr. Leng, we’ll have to part ways sooner or later. What difference does it make whether I go to your family dinner or not?” Yan Zhi’s voice was clear and bright.
Leng Linli stared at Yan Zhi with a cold and detached gaze. He had never considered separating from her; it was only her one-sided idea.
"Did Grandma tell me to take you there, or do you want Grandma to come and pick you up herself?" In his haste, Leng Linli blurted out this excuse again.
“…No need.” Yan Zhi was speechless for a moment. Her grandmother had a heart condition and high blood pressure. Yan Zhi didn’t want anything unnecessary to happen to her grandmother because of her. How could Yan Zhi leave with a clear conscience then?
Seeing this, Leng Linli instantly regained control of the conversation and said coldly, "I'll give you half an hour to change your clothes. If you can't change them properly, I don't mind helping you."
After saying that, Leng Linli turned around, put his hands in his pockets, and turned his back to Yan Zhi.
That proud, aloof, and indifferent back view pierced Yan Zhi's heart with pain.
Yan Zhi sighed and turned to go to the bedroom to change her clothes.
After Yan Zhi left, Leng Linli slowly turned around and looked at Yan Zhi's back. His deep eyes held an inexplicable meaning.
Leng Linli sat down on the sofa, looking rather somber. Yan Zhi's reluctance was clearly visible, which annoyed Leng Linli to no end.
"Young Master, did you call me just now?" Aunt Nan walked in quickly, carrying the dried clothes.
Leng Linli stood up and took the clothes from Aunt Nan's hands, his eyes darkening: "It's alright now, I'll help you carry them upstairs."
"No need, young master, these clothes aren't heavy. You go upstairs and help the young mistress." Aunt Nan pushed Leng Linli upstairs, beaming from ear to ear.
Leng Linli paused, a complex emotion flickering in his eyes: "She probably... doesn't want to be with me."
When Leng Linli said those words, his heart inexplicably ached.
"..." Aunt Nan didn't speak, but just sighed softly. These two children were too stubborn. She could tell that they both had feelings for each other, but neither of them was willing to give in first, and she couldn't persuade them either.
Leng Linli lifted his foot and walked towards the second floor, but his heart became more and more agitated. He quickened his pace and finally stopped in front of Yan Zhi's room.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Leng Linli still didn't open the door and turned to go to the study.
Upon reaching the study, before he could even sit down, Bai Lian called: "Brother, can you come pick me up? I'm afraid I'll run into Grandma if I go alone..."
Leng Linli hadn't had a chance to tell his grandmother about Bai Lian's secret return to China, which explains why Bai Lian was afraid of running into her grandmother alone.
Knowing that Yan Zhi would have some time before leaving, Leng Linli calmly replied, "Okay."
Leng Linli went downstairs and drove to the Imperial Examination Hall.
Bai Lian waited in the Imperial Garden for twenty minutes before finally seeing the familiar Maybach come into view. She checked her carefully chosen outfit, smiled with satisfaction, and quickly ran over.
After opening the passenger door and getting in, Bai Lian didn't rush to fasten her seatbelt. She leaned over and carefully grabbed Leng Linli's arm, her eyes full of gratitude: "Brother, thank you for coming to pick me up. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to face Grandma alone."
Bai Lian blinked her bright eyes, which were watery and made her look incredibly charming.
She leaned to the side and moved closer to the driver's seat, her slender, fair hands gripping Leng Linli's arm. Her arms were pressed against her chest, and the neckline of her dress was extremely low, making her fair skin about to be revealed.
Bai Lian's lips curled into a half-smile. Men all like big breasts, so she deliberately wore a white off-the-shoulder low-cut dress today. The low neckline made her breasts appear even more prominent. She didn't believe that Leng Linli wouldn't be dazzled by her.
Especially after witnessing Leng Linli's madness towards Yan Zhi, Bai Lian was convinced that Leng Linli was not an enlightened monk, but rather obsessed with women's bodies.
Thinking of this, Bai Lian suddenly felt extremely annoyed. She shouldn't have pretended to be a gentle, weak, and innocent little white lotus in the past, and dressed plainly. If she had exposed her chest, waist, and thighs, she might have already captured Leng Linli's heart with her looks. What chance would Yan Zhi have now?
Half a minute passed. Leng Linli sat in the driver's seat, staring straight ahead, expressionless, but his eyes gradually showed some impatience.
A crack appeared on Bai Lian's face. In this situation, any other man would have been aroused and eager to pounce on her, but Leng Linli seemed not to see it at all, still looking straight ahead, without causing the slightest ripple.
Undeterred, Bai Lian continued to press herself closer to Leng Linli, trying to draw his attention even more. Her breasts were practically rubbing against his arm; if she weren't afraid of being too obvious, she would have loved to drape her proud... assets over him...
For his enjoyment, to be left to his own devices, to be played with at will.
Recalling Yan Zhi's moved expression on the bed, one can imagine that Leng Linli's technique must have been excellent.
Leng Linli would surely make her very happy.
Just thinking about it made Bai Lian incredibly excited.
"Brother, what are you looking at?" Bai Lian asked, her voice soft and seductive, with an indescribable allure.
