"No way, Tangtang, I didn’t do anything. How did I turn into a hooligan?" Leng Lingxiao threw a flirty wink and continued to tease.
Seeing this, Tang Xiaowan stomped on him furiously and then walked away.
"Hey, little girl, wait for me."
"Don’t walk so fast, it’s the middle of the night. I’m scared; you can’t just leave me behind."
A big man talking as if he were a powerless damsel in distress, Tang Xiaowan turned her head and looked at him with disgust.
Why did she like someone like him?
Before her memory loss, maybe she was too young, naive and confused, but now, she still liked him.
She seriously suspected there was something wrong with her brain.
"Hey, Tangtang, what are you looking at? Do you think... I’ve gotten a lot handsomer recently?"
Leng Lingxiao praised himself while casually flipping his hair, his narcissism making Tang Xiaowan burst into laughter.
"Please, could you be any more disgusting?"
"Of course! I love you, super-duper universe-level love, no matter if the sky falls or the earth splits..."
"I can’t stand you anymore."
"Alright, alright, I’ll stop talking. How about a stroll in the kitchen?" Leng Lingxiao asked with a smile.
"No way, don’t even think about tempting me."
"You’re not fat at all, just perfect. Besides, how much do you weigh? Barely a hundred pounds at most. Don’t believe me? Let me give you a hug."
Before Tang Xiaowan could respond, Leng Lingxiao picked her up sideways.
"Please, we’re on the rooftop!"
"Don’t move around. Hold on tight. It’s the middle of the night. Don’t get me too excited."
He’s getting more shameless by the minute!
Although she cursed him silently in her heart, she obediently wrapped her arms around Leng Lingxiao’s neck, pressing her face tightly against his chest.
"See, isn’t this much better!" Leng Lingxiao said tenderly, slowly heading towards the elevator.
His heart was a mushy mess.
This was the girl he had liked for so long, cool and sweet, both shy and tender. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Tangtang, never leave me.
I won’t allow you to leave me either, no matter what happens, you must always be with me.
Don’t worry, I won’t harm those you want to let go, but those who want to hurt you, I won’t forgive a single one, they must repay double.
"Is there something delicious in the kitchen?" Tang Xiaowan suddenly asked with a giggle.
Clearly, her mood was very good at that moment.
Leng Lingxiao gently kissed Tang Xiaowan’s forehead and tenderly asked, "What do you want to eat?"
"Um... I want to eat... shrimp and steamed eggs."
"No problem, easy peasy, I’ll make it for you in a bit. But suddenly, I really want to eat... the poached egg noodles you make, what should I do?"
"No problem, I’ll make you a big bowl."
"Great, you cook mine, and I’ll cook yours."
"Let’s also have some cold shredded radish salad."
They talked and chatted all the way to the kitchen, starting their late-night snack mode.
The meal was simple but very joyful. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel⦿fire.net
Indeed, Tang Xiaowan’s every hesitation was quickly captured by Leng Lingxiao and could be solved in a very short time...
The next day, at six in the morning.
Tang Xiaowan was awakened by the piercing alarm clock.
Rubbing her eyes and yawning, she turned over only to find that her grandmother wasn’t there, and in her place was a black Oxford cloth briefcase.
[To my lovely and well-behaved granddaughter.]
A blue sticky note was quietly placed on top.
After reading it, Tang Xiaowan unzipped the bag and jumped in shock. Inside were 35 property deeds, along with some related contracts and bills.
Without exception, they were all under her name.
When she had stayed in Huang City last week, she had lamented in front of Leng Lingxiao how cool it was that Wang Jinhui was like a landlord who owned half of the street’s shops.
Oh my god, I don’t even need to go in person, and it can get done just like that?
It seems Grandma has my documents too.
"Grandma, Grandma..."
Tang Xiaowan called out several times, with no one responding, and even when she tried calling Grandma, the phone was switched off.
She was alone in the entire room.
Looking over at the sofa, Grandma’s rolling suitcase was missing. Tang Xiaowan immediately felt panicky and ran barefoot to Leng Lingxiao’s room.
No one answered the door. Had he gone to exercise?
She hurriedly made her way toward the staircase.
Fourth floor, the gym.
Leng Lingxiao, dressed in skin-tight black workout clothes, highlighted his well-built and sturdy physique.
The layout of the gym was very simple but also luxurious, with walls adorned with various high-quality gym equipment.
Here, there wasn’t just a boxing ring but also a strength training area.
All sorts of barbells with different weights were available.
Leng Lingxiao deftly picked up a pair of dumbbells and systematically started his upper body workout.
One rep, another, and then another.
After that, he moved to the elliptical and rhythmically swung his legs, his expression determined, his gaze fiery, as if he was challenging his own limits.
Accompanied by heavy breathing, Leng Lingxiao freely sweated it out.
Suddenly, the door to the gym was flung open, and Tang Xiaowan’s anxious voice followed, "Huahua, Huahua!"
"Yo, Tangtang, you awake?"
"Where’s Grandma? Has she already left?"
The answer she got was affirmative. Tang Mei and Wang Jinhui, along with Leng Lingxiao’s parents, had already taken a helicopter toward Huang City.
"What time did they leave? Why didn’t they call me?"
Leng Lingxiao touched Tang Xiaowan’s head gently and said, "At five-thirty."
"Hmph! Grandma is so annoying, so annoying!"
"Older people tend to sleep less. They all woke up before five, so they decided to leave early. They said by the time they reach Huang City... they would just be in time to have morning tea together, hahaha."
"Do you know that Grandma actually secretly prepared so much... what’s it called, for me."
"Yeah, even more than what Wang Jinhui got!"
Tang Xiaowan frowned and looked at Leng Lingxiao in surprise, "You knew about this all along?"
"No, no, just yesterday morning."
"Really? How did you know before I did? Grandma is so unfair and so biased!"
Leng Lingxiao leisurely wiped off his sweat, and though he didn’t say a word, his smug expression clearly told Tang Xiaowan: Can’t help it, I’m the person Grandma trusts the most!
Tang Xiaowan felt so frustrated she wanted to throw something at Leng Lingxiao, but nothing around her was suitable.
Either too heavy or too dangerous.
"Hey, Tangtang, what are you planning to do, murder your own husband?" Leng Lingxiao teased with a smile, deliberately throwing the towel over to her.
Tang Xiaowan caught the towel and felt even more irritated.
"Mind your own business, don’t you dare run away!"
"Whoa, it’s just a joke, do you think I’m stupid?"
Just then, Wang Meijuan came hurrying. She had gone to Tang Xiaowan’s bedroom to wake her up, found the door open but no one inside.
So, she thought of checking here.
Seeing the two playing and frolicking, Wang Meijuan did not enter but silently closed the gym door before quietly leaving.
Little did she expect that right at the staircase, she would run into Cheng Shi, who was also looking for Tang Xiaowan.
"Miss, is everything okay?"
"Yeah, she’s with Mr. Leng, seems happy. She probably won’t make a fuss about going to Huang City now."
"By the way, did you just come from the young miss’s room? It’s quite dramatic, so many property certificates thrown all over the bed! I secretly looked at a few, and they’re all shops. Could it be that she bought half the street?"
Cheng Shi’s brow immediately furrowed, his fists clenched tight, "Has the lady’s itinerary changed, or is it still straight back to Chunlei Street... Number 66?"
Wang Meijuan was surprised, "What’s wrong?"
