Leng Lingxiao’s thin lips curved slightly, as he appraised the somewhat panicked man before him with intermittent glances from his bright eyes.
Looks like... there’s definitely a situation here!
Actually, it was Shen Yiming who had misunderstood; he thought it was that little schoolgirl who had a crush on him.
After all, that girl had just visited his Huang City home yesterday, pouring out her sorrows and shedding tears, as if she couldn’t live without Shen Yiming. It was only thanks to his parents’ kind persuasion and his wife’s generous tolerance that they were able to send the schoolgirl away.
So, he really got a shock just now; "little fan" and "little schoolgirl" do sound quite similar.
This was a Shen Family domestic matter, and since Leng Lingxiao was in Chicheng, he naturally was unaware. He just thought, since his own Little Tangtang couldn’t join him for scuba diving, he might as well have Shen Yiming’s newlywed wife come over instead.
One was on her period, the other a landlubber; perfect, the two could keep each other company.
"I’m telling you, absolutely not."
Leng Lingxiao raised an eyebrow, "Oh, okay, then I’ll call right now... and tell your sister-in-law not to come. You’re not in Chicheng right now, whereabouts unknown."
"What, my wife is coming over?"
"Who else could it be? Didn’t you always... call her your little fan before?"
Shen Yiming: Oh my god, my little fan!
"Ah, that’s ancient history now! She’s practically the forefather now, what little fan? More like a big sister – I wouldn’t dare provoke her."
"Oh, so should I still make the call?"
"At what time is she arriving? Can she make it before lunch? She’s not mad at me anymore?"
Leng Lingxiao nodded, "Roughly."
Hearing this, Shen Yiming was overjoyed, and without another word disappeared, moving so fast it was like he was competing in a sprint.
Looks like there really is a situation here!
I’m supposed to be henpecked and yet dare to joke about it daily?
It’s not fear of Tangtang, it’s pampering!
After Leng Lingxiao left with the casserole, the people in the kitchen looked disappointed. They had thought they would get some gossip about Shen Yiming.
Meanwhile, in the master bedroom on the second floor, Tang Xiaowan had just put away the used acupuncture set in the cabinet when she heard footsteps in the hallway.
She knew it was definitely Leng Lingxiao, so she immediately ran to the bed and lay down, pretending to be asleep.
Shortly after, Leng Lingxiao quietly opened the door to the master bedroom. He saw Tang Xiaowan with her breaths coming softly and regularly, a gentleness in her brows.
"Little guy, actually asleep!"
With that, he sat by the bed, placed the medicinal meal on the bedside table, and gently woke up Tang Xiaowan. As she opened her eyes and saw the meal before her, a flash of surprise crossed her gaze.
"Wow, it smells so good, it’s finally mealtime!"
Leng Lingxiao smiled tenderly, "Are you starving? Eat more, it’s all for you."
Tang Xiaowan first shook her head, then revealed a sweet smile, "No, I want to eat with Huahua; fighting over the food makes it taste better."
"Okay, let’s eat together."
So, Leng Lingxiao held the bowl, Tang Xiaowan took the spoon, and they took turns savoring the medicinal meal, bite by bite.
The taste was rich and sweet, warming with a light herbal scent. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel_fіre.net
"So delicious, this sure beats acupuncture!"
Watching Tang Xiaowan’s sweet smile, Leng Lingxiao felt joy and satisfaction fill his heart. He took Tang Xiaowan’s hand tenderly and responded, "As long as you like it, I’m very happy."
"Can I eat this every day?" Tang Xiaowan asked with a giggle, her large eyes blinking like a child waiting to be fed.
"No, you can’t over-supplement... every now and then is fine, otherwise, you’ll get ’heaty’."
An hour later, in the study on the fourth floor.
Leng Lingxiao leaned back in his chair, watching the video of several middle-aged men with an impassive face.
"You haven’t been overworking yourself, have you?"
A simple, straightforward question, but it weighed heavily on the person who had just finished his report in the video conference, prompting a nervous sweat.
"Chairman, I’m not tired, I..."
As the man struggled for words to rectify the situation, the door to the study quietly opened with a ding, followed by the sweet, soft voice.
"Huahua, I have something I want to tell you."
"Um... well... if I made a little mistake, would you still take me out to play?"
What Tang Xiaowan referred to was scuba diving.
It was an outdoor sport she loved dearly, filled with thrill and mystery.
As soon as Leng Lingxiao heard this, he couldn’t help but laugh.
