Who knew, when Li Zishen left the suite and was about to check the neighboring room, Leng Lingxiao had already come out, embracing Tang Xiaowan who was clad in a black suit.
Her dress, an autumn floral maxi, bloomed like flowers, radiating charming brilliance.
In Tang Xiaowan’s delicate and fair hand, she also held a cute rabbit ears plush headband, beautifully crafted and sparkling with rhinestones.
Leng Lingxiao, on the other hand, held a small wolf plushie, very tiny and adorably dumbfounded.
Taking all this in, Li Zishen paused slightly, a mix of emotions in his heart, wishing he were the one next to Tang Xiaowan.
It’s fine, they were just playing... the game of the big bad wolf catching the little white rabbit!
Almost simultaneously, Shen Yiming came out with his wife, Li Ruonan, both wearing silk robes and looking perplexed.
Shen Yiming: "Oh, role-playing again, big bad wolf? Not playing a mom this time?"
Li Ruonan: "That’s a beautiful headband!"
While the young couple harbored their own thoughts, a security-dressed staff member hurried over.
The 39th floor is generally inaccessible without a card.
"Very sorry, excuse me, sir, it’s all sorted now, it was a misunderstanding."
"What a scare, in the middle of the night!"
Shen Yiming inquired about the situation irritably, grumbling since indeed, his pregnant wife had just been disturbed.
Early pregnancy is still very crucial.
Meanwhile, Leng Lingxiao’s expression turned cold as he glanced at Li Zishen not far away, and seeing him walking slowly towards him, he held his little wife a bit tighter tenderly.
"What a coincidence, you’re staying here too?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Tang Xiaowan, who was listening to the staff’s explanation, turned her head slightly and her eyes sparkled with surprise upon seeing Li Zishen.
"Zishen? What brings you..."
Before Tang Xiaowan could finish, Leng Lingxiao interrupted with a smile, "Mr. Li, long time no see!" Google seaʀᴄh novel[f]ire.net
Upon hearing this, a pang of pain surged in Li Zishen’s heart, but he concealed his emotions and responded, "Mr. Leng, congratulations!"
Keeping his poise, Leng Lingxiao hooked the corner of his mouth, dropped his hand, and wrapped it around Tang Xiaowan’s waist: "Mr. Li, you should have told us you were in Chicheng, I owe you a meal, thanks for your great help last time in Jin City."
He was referring to the day when Tang Xiaowan had been kidnapped by Du Jiahao, and Li Zishen had extended his help, blocking Jinkai Road and forcing Du Jiahao to change his route.
Ultimately leading him into the trap that Leng had set, successfully rescuing Tang Xiaowan.
"Just lifting a finger, Mr. Leng needn’t..."
After looking at Tang Xiaowan, Li Zishen paused briefly and said with a deep gaze, "I’ve heard the scenery at Lingxiao Manor, with its bridges over flowing waters, is exceedingly beautiful, may I have the honor to visit?"
"Tomorrow night, if Mr. Li is available, you can..."
"Good, then tomorrow night."
Li Zishen responded decisively, almost as if he was afraid Leng Lingxiao might change his mind mid-way.
It had been nearly ten days since the Jiang Family Charity Banquet, and this was their first face-to-face interaction among the three.
Li Zishen observed Tang Xiaowan’s anxious expression and felt an inexplicable warmth surge in his heart.
He knew what she was worried about.
So, Li Zishen silently reassured himself: Don’t worry, we won’t fight.
You’re already Leng Lingxiao’s wife, I won’t make trouble; I just want to adopt a more mature and rational way to get along. I hope you can understand and not interfere.
This is the only solace I can offer.
Tang Xiaowan, as if she had the Mind Reading Technique, immediately withdrew her gaze, nodded slightly, and nestled comfortably against Leng Lingxiao.
"Huahua, shall we prepare some local dishes of Chicheng tomorrow to show some hospitality?"
The word ’host’ strongly resonated with Leng Lingxiao.
This Chicheng was his territory after all, better not think about stealing ground.
"Yes, exactly, hahaha."
The atmosphere lightened up quite a bit!
And Li Zishen seemed to find a sliver of solace in Tang Xiaowan’s eyes, feeling overjoyed.
At that moment, Wu Qiming, the manager of guest services, hurried over, dressed formally and looking serious. He was actually supposed to be off work after six, but he had been busy until now arranging for the next day’s work.
Truly diligent and devoted!
When he saw Leng Lingxiao was also there, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed apologetically.
"Sorry, sir, this was a false alarm, there’s no fire. As for what triggered the alarm, it’s already under investigation, very sorry for disturbing you and your wife’s rest."
