Chapter 171 Checking Up



Whose message was so perfectly synchronized with hers? For a moment, Yan Zhi couldn't help but wonder if it was herself.

Leng Linli then sent a few words from Su Rao's WeChat account: 【Goodnight, baby!】

Yan Zhi: [Goodnight.]

Seeing the big heart and goodnight message from Yan Zhi, Leng Linli felt as sweet as if he had eaten honey. He smiled slightly and gently swiped his finger across the screen, wanting to read the chat message again.

Yan Zhi's soft voice suddenly came: "Mr. Leng, I'm going to turn off the lights and go to sleep, is that alright?"

Leng Linli was surprised that Yan Zhi would suddenly call him. His hand trembled, and his phone fell onto the bed.

"..." Yan Zhi was also stunned, not expecting Leng Linli to react so strongly. She reached out to pick up Leng Linli's phone that had fallen onto the bed.

Just as Leng Linli was about to pick up his phone, Yan Zhi had already taken it. The chat interface was still open. If Yan Zhi looked at it, she would realize that the person who had just messaged her was not Su Rao!

A chilling and panicked group.

Yan Zhi was unaware of Leng Linli's inner thoughts at this moment. Although she wondered why he reacted so strongly, she calmly handed the phone back to Leng Linli without glancing at his chat history.

Yan Zhi wasn't sure if Leng Linli had finished replying to his messages, so she asked again, "Is it okay?"

Why doesn't she even glance at his phone?

At this moment, Leng Linli both hoped that Yan Zhi would look at his phone and check up on him to prove that Yan Zhi cared about him, but he was also afraid that Yan Zhi would see his phone and find out that Su Rao on WeChat was him.

He's really conflicted.

Leng Linli took the phone, looked at Yan Zhi, his eyes deep: "You are also the master of this house, you don't need to ask my opinion on everything."

How could she be the head of the Leng family?

She was just a guest.

Yan Zhi didn't intend to refute anything, and prepared to end the conversation, replying calmly, "Okay."

Leng Linli put down his phone, lay down beside Yan Zhi, and looked at her gentle and serene face, feeling an indescribable sense of happiness welling up in his heart.

Yan Zhi turned off the light, plunging the room into darkness.

The moonlight shone through the window, gradually making the room no longer pitch black.

Neither of them spoke again; the room was silent, so quiet that you could even hear each other breathing.

Yan Zhi closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

Leng Linli followed the moonlight and stared at Yan Zhi's profile.

The moonlight shone on her face.

The moonlight was very bright tonight, and Leng Linli could see it clearly.

Yan Zhi's skin was very delicate and fair; sometimes it would turn red with just a light touch.

Her eyelashes were long and thick. When she smiled, the eyelashes on her upper and lower eyelids blended together, making her eyes look like a crescent moon, as if they were smiling. This made him feel very comfortable.

The bridge of the nose is at a suitable height, making it perfect for kissing.

At this moment, her lips looked rosier than yesterday, as tempting as red cherries, making Leng Linli unable to resist wanting to kiss them.

Thinking of this, Leng Linli's throat bobbed.

His cold, sharp gaze grew increasingly intense, gradually becoming deep and unfathomable.

Listening to Leng Linli's irregular breathing, Yan Zhi felt as if an invisible gaze was falling on her, a gaze so intense it made her uncomfortable, as if it would devour her completely in the next second.

Yan Zhi finally couldn't stand the eerie atmosphere any longer, so she turned over, turned her back to Leng Linli, and closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep.

Leng Linli had no intention of letting Yan Zhi go. He reached out, hugged Yan Zhi, and pulled her close to him.

"President Leng!" Yan Zhi opened her eyes instantly, unable to keep up the act any longer.

Leng Linli held her tightly, as if he hadn't heard Yan Zhi calling him, his breathing gradually becoming shallow.

"President Leng!"

Still no one answered.

...He was pretending to be asleep!

Yan Zhi struggled, trying to break free from Leng Linli, but he held her even tighter.

Finally, Yan Zhi completely gave in and gave up the struggle.

Smelling the faint fragrance emanating from Yan Zhi and feeling the soft, warm scent of her in his arms, Leng Linli relaxed completely and soon fell asleep.

Yan Zhi tossed and turned in Leng Linli's arms, unable to sleep.

Listening to the gradually even breathing beside her ear, Yan Zhi slowly pulled away from Leng Linli's embrace. She had just moved away a little when Leng Linli pulled her back into his arms, even tighter than before, making it impossible for her to escape.

Yan Zhi couldn't help but wonder whether Leng Linli was truly asleep or just pretending.

With a sigh, Yan Zhi simply stopped struggling and resigned herself to her fate, lying quietly in Leng Linli's arms, letting him hold her as long as he didn't force her to do *that*.

When Leng Linli woke up the next morning, he opened his eyes and saw Yan Zhi holding him, sleeping soundly.

With satisfaction, he looked at the gentle and serene woman in his arms, then lowered his head and gently kissed Yan Zhi's forehead.

Yan Zhi, fast asleep, felt a warm touch on her forehead, frowned, turned over, and continued sleeping.

Looking at Yan Zhi, his cold and sharp eyes flashed with doting light. He quietly got out of bed and went to the guest room to wash up.

After washing up, Leng Linli returned to the bedroom and saw that Yan Zhi was still fast asleep.

Never mind, let her continue sleeping.

Leng Linli canceled Yan Zhi's alarm clock, quietly left the room, and went to work.

Inside the car, Bai Lian asked cautiously, "Isn't my sister-in-law going to work with us this morning?"

"Um."

Leng Linli responded calmly, and his mood improved as he recalled Yan Zhi's sleeping face that morning.

Bai Lian glanced at Leng Linli secretly, and seeing that he seemed to be in a good mood, she boldly asked, "Isn't sister-in-law going to work today?"

";Um.";

Leng Linli maintained his indifferent tone, seemingly not intending to say another word.

Leng Linli didn't want to speak, and Bai Lian obediently shut up as well.

When Yan Zhi woke up, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.

On the other side of the bed, there was no one!

Yan Zhi glanced at the time and was startled. She had clearly set an alarm, so why hadn't it gone off today?

He quickly got up, dressed, and rushed to the company.

Why didn't Leng Linli wake her up?

Yan Zhi hurriedly sat down at her workstation, her forehead already covered in a fine layer of sweat. She opened her folder and began to work.

Looking at the document in his hand, he couldn't concentrate on reading a single word.

Yan Zhi was still wondering why Leng Linli hadn't woken her up this morning.

Or was he deliberately not calling her?

Was he trying to embarrass her? Or did he want to dock her pay? Or was he trying to find fault with her?

I'll be leaving in just over twenty days. I hope they don't find any fault with me when I leave. I guess I'll have to set a few alarms before I go to bed tonight.

Yan Zhi's gaze was on the document, but she couldn't help but drift off into her own thoughts.

Suddenly, a pair of hands grasped Yan Zhi's hands. Yan Zhi came back to her senses, looked up, and met Su Rao's gentle and doting gaze. Su Rao smiled and asked, "You've arrived?"
