"My wife and I have finished our meal and are about to leave, so we won't disturb Mr. Zhuang any longer." After Leng Linli finished speaking, he naturally took Yan Zhi's hand, and the two of them, one on each side of Grandma Leng's arm, paid the bill and left, creating a very warm scene.
Zhuang Yan's gaze fell on their backs, his smile gradually fading as he looked at their cold and stern backs, a few thoughtful glances passing through his eyes.
Once in the car, Yan Zhi would glance at the time every now and then.
Yan Zhi got off the bus very quickly.
Goodbye, Grandma.
"Slow down, twigs."
"Okay."
She agreed, but Yan Zhi's walking speed didn't slow down at all.
Leng Linli caught up with them, and the two walked side by side, looking exceptionally well-matched from a distance. Grandma Leng sat in the car, beaming with joy. How could such a perfectly matched young couple exist!
"Why are you running so fast?" Leng Linli caught up with Yan Zhi, a smile he couldn't hide on his lips.
Even without asking, he could guess a thing or two. Through the rearview mirror, he saw Yan Zhi check the time several times.
As Yan Zhi walked quickly, she reminded him, "President Leng, you should take a look at the time. Time will tell."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Zhi heard Leng Linli's gloating laughter. Leng Linli said jokingly, "That's right, it seems Mrs. Leng is late for work."
It turns out he knew he was already late for work, yet he remained completely unhurried.
"It's as if President Leng wasn't late at all."
On second thought, Leng Linli is the president of Leng Corporation. What difference does it make whether he's late for work or not? In any case, the power of interpretation lies with him.
The same situation would be different for her, especially since there was a friendly colleague in the CEO's office who was always waiting to point out her mistakes...
Yan Zhi smiled helplessly, "Yes... you're the CEO, you're amazing!"
"Although Mrs. Leng's tone doesn't sound very sincere, I'll take it as a compliment." Leng Linli smiled slightly, in a pleasant mood, his words carrying a hint of languor.
After Leng Linli finished speaking, Yan Zhi walked even faster, and even the glance she gave Leng Linli was speechless...
Leng Linli's smile widened as he quickly caught up with Yan Zhi: "If Mrs. Leng is willing to beg me, I can make you arrive late openly and legitimately."
Yan Zhi couldn't help but sneer: "Mr. Leng, are you still half asleep in broad daylight? Why are you talking in your sleep? Should I call the family doctor over to take a look at you?"
Yan Zhi couldn't help but sneer.
If they were an ordinary couple with a good relationship, Yan Zhi could understand that Leng Linli's words were just a playful gesture between husband and wife. But given their current relationship, would she ask him for help?
Leng Linli's joke was really not funny.
"Since Mrs. Leng cares about me so much, I'll take that as you've already asked me for a favor," Leng Linli said calmly, a smile playing on his lips rather than anger.
"..." Yan Zhi stopped and turned to stare at Leng Linli. When did his temper become so good? Did he really not understand the hidden meaning in her words?
Yan Zhi was a little confused, unable to understand what Leng Linli intended to do.
He took in Yan Zhi's confusion and coldness, then calmly took her hand, his mood brightening: "Let's go."
"Where to?" Yan Zhi asked in return.
With his hands behind his back, Leng Linli casually held his wrist with one hand and Yan Zhi's hand with the other, and said nonchalantly as he walked forward, "I'm taking my Mrs. Leng through the back door. After all, she was late because she was having dinner with me, so I have to help her."
Yan Zhi: "......"
Yan Zhi tried to pry open Leng Linli's hand, but the more she struggled, the tighter his grip became. After a long silence, Yan Zhi slowly opened her lips: "Mr. Leng, you're not playing a trick on me?"
Upon hearing this, Leng Linli gave a faint, curving smile: "Hmm... How could I possibly play tricks on my Mrs. Leng?"
Listening to Leng Linli's words, Yan Zhi noticed that Leng Linli seemed to be in a good mood, but the repeated use of "Mrs. Leng" seemed too deliberate. This deliberateness made Yan Zhi suspect that Leng Linli was implying that she had taken away the position of Mrs. Leng that should have belonged to his beloved.
"General Manager Leng."
Yan Zhi suddenly spoke up and called out to him.
His cold, sharp gaze remained fixed ahead as he led Yan Zhi forward, responding in a flat tone, "Hmm..."
"Mr. Leng, could you please stop calling me Mrs. Leng so often?" Yan Zhi asked.
"I'm happy." Leng Linli said casually, continuing to walk forward at a leisurely pace.
Yan Zhi: ";......";
She realized that Leng Linli was quite happy to be playing tricks on her and provoking her!
Yan Zhi often felt that there was a communication barrier between her and Leng Linli, as he always gave irrelevant answers.
She wasn't used to such a cold and stern demeanor.
She was more afraid of this cold and stern demeanor.
Habits are terrible.
She would much rather Leng Linli act as he always did, with a cold and reproachful look on his face.
That way, she can gradually stop loving him.
That way, she won't feel pain when she leaves.
Yan Zhi felt a mix of emotions. Leng Linli tightened his grip on her hand, glancing at her sideways: "Mrs. Leng, pay attention to your walking."
Yan Zhi looked up at Leng Linli and saw that his eyebrows were curved and his smile was as bright as the sun.
Just like when we first met.
Yan Zhi was stunned for a moment. Even though she tried to smile, a pang of sadness still welled up in her heart.
If only none of those things had happened!
Yan Zhi lowered her head and followed Leng Linli absentmindedly. Before long, they arrived at the place Leng Linli was taking her to.
