"Mm-hmm, okay, got it."
After saying that, Leng Lingxiao took Tang Xiaowan by the hand and turned towards the staircase.
He would never leave his Little Wife alone.
Who knows if someone might suddenly appear when he went to the study and sneakily take his Little Wife away for secret supervision.
Such a conjecture about Tang Mei might be an exaggeration, but Leng Lingxiao simply didn’t dare to take the risk.
Tang Mei’s identity was just too special!
Not only was she Tang Xiaowan’s grandmother, she was also the founder of Shen Shiyi, and perhaps by now she had already taken back control from Wang Junchen.
Thinking this, Leng Lingxiao inadvertently slowed his pace, pondering how to respond later on.
Meanwhile, at the back door of the courtyard, two men with agile figures emerged and then boarded a black off-road vehicle, speeding away into the distance.
The black metal bracelets flashed intermittently, symbolizing their identity as belonging to Shen Shiyi.
On the other side, at the door to the third-floor study, Leng Lingxiao stopped and gently looked at Tang Xiaowan, "Don’t worry, Grandma is very fond of you. Even if there really is something, we need to talk it out, don’t be impulsive."
"I suspect that the little baby is me, not Lin Xiaoxiao, really, I have a premonition that Grandma must be hiding something difficult to express."
"It’s okay, sweetheart, I’m here."
"And before lunch, I... ah, never mind, let’s go in first, take it one step at a time."
"Mm-hmm, that’s right, just relax."
Knock knock knock, three knocks on the door sounded.
"The door’s unlocked, come in."
The moment Leng Lingxiao stepped into the study, he finally understood what his Little Wife was worried about. The most update n0vels are published on novel[f]ire.net
He saw Cheng Shi with his head hanging low, looking utterly disheartened, yet his gaze was fixed steadily on the medical emergency kit placed on the coffee table.
And Tang Mei was sitting on the sofa, her expression extremely serious, seemingly lost in thought.
Leng Lingxiao’s heart couldn’t help but skip a beat.
This guy, he wouldn’t have gone to the Wang Mansion, would he? Quite bold to go alone.
No wonder he hadn’t been seen at mealtime, but... my Little Tangtang is indeed sharp as a tack, knowing that then was the best moment.
Wang Junchen was unconscious from poisoning, Jiangbei had gone to Jin City, while Qin Feng was with Jiang Yongheng at Yelanxiang.
The others were no match for Cheng Shi!
But why, at this moment, appear in the study? Had there been a mishap?
With this thought, Leng Lingxiao couldn’t help but worry for his Little Wife, fearing that she might start arguing with Tang Mei, because judging from the current situation, the Little Wife’s plan was clearly intercepted by Tang Mei.
As expected, at that moment, Tang Xiaowan pulled away from Leng Lingxiao’s hand and headed straight for the sofa.
She hadn’t expected to see Cheng Shi here.
When she had left, he clearly wasn’t there; it had only been her and her grandmother in the study.
Next door? He must have been next door just now.
It was Li Fugui; it must have been him tracking Cheng Shi, no wonder no one had seen him at mealtime.
"Grandma, how could you do this? Cheng Shi is clearly my bodyguard, my person, how could you overstep your bounds? I just wanted him to..."
Before Tang Xiaowan could continue her questioning, Tang Mei raised her hand and interrupted her.
"Thought you could deceive everyone?"
"No, it’s not like that, Madam, not at all, it’s all my fault," Cheng Shi answered seriously, a look of readiness to take the blame.
Was he preparing to sacrifice himself to protect his charge?
Tang Mei sighed heavily, her face filled with anger, as she pointed at the emergency kit on the coffee table, "Tangtang told you to do whatever, and you really do take your job as a bodyguard seriously, thinking you could go unnoticed?"
"Madam, I was wrong," Cheng Shi quickly replied, "This has nothing to do with the young lady."
"Just to satisfy your curiosity, do you think you can just enter the Wang Mansion as you please?" Tang Mei looked at Tang Xiaowan and angrily questioned Cheng Shi.
"No, I shouldn’t have acted rashly."
Is it possible they didn’t even make it through the door?
Wasn’t Jiangbei supposed to have gone to Jin City today? Has Wang Junchen woken up and sent extra manpower?
That can’t be right, it shouldn’t have been so quick!
"When you first arrived at Mei Garden, what did I tell you?" Tang Mei slowly stood up, lightly touching the emergency kit, "Your only job was to protect Tangtang well, and to stay out of everything else, even if..."
"Grandma." Tang Xiaowan took a firm stand and immediately interrupted Tang Mei, "It was I who sent Cheng Shi, if you want to scold someone, scold me, don’t be hard on him."
At that moment, the emergency kit had been opened, revealing its contents related to blood collection.
Leng Lingxiao glanced at it, intending to explain for Tang Xiaowan that the kit was just temporarily placed in the off-road vehicle for emergencies, but he was quickly silenced by a swift gesture from Tang Mei’s right hand.
