He picked up his phone to reply to a message.
Wen Ya had said many caring words to him.
Wen Yan watched from the side, her fingertips growing colder.
Wen Ya knew about his injury and came to see him this morning, but as his wife, if she hadn't just barged in, she might have been kept in the dark.
After replying to the message, Leng Xunze put down his phone. "Go play for a while, I need to work."
This time, the girl didn't argue.
She released the mouse.
And turned to walk out.
Leng Xunze felt something was wrong. As the girl walked past him, he suddenly grabbed her waist and pulled her into his arms, sitting down with her.
"What's wrong?"
Wen Yan shook her head and pushed his hand away.
"I told you, it's a minor injury, you really don't need to be here." Leng Xunze's deep, magnetic voice was tinged with helplessness.
"Right, you never need me." She replied by rote.
Leng Xunze looked at her dejected face, his chest tightening, his voice turning cold. "Wen Yan, what are you throwing a tantrum about now?"
Hearing his words, Wen Yan's breathing seemed to carry pain.
"I have no background, no status, and I'm worlds apart from you. We're not suited to be together. While I don't know why you're hiding your identity, you must have important things to do. Rather than being your wife, I'm your pawn." She looked at him, tears gradually filling her eyes. "So, I don't even have the right to know you're injured. Your friends can know, Wen Ya can know, but I can't."
The man's aura suddenly turned cold.
"Wen Yan, don't talk nonsense!"
"Don't you think so? I've overstepped. I won't care about you anymore, and please keep me in the position of a pawn. Don't always help me from behind, because that will make me mistakenly think you like me." Wen Yan forced a bitter smile.
Her wronged expression was reflected in his eyes, and Leng Xunze's heart ached fiercely.
"Stop messing around."
With a surge of strength, he pulled the girl tightly into his embrace.
"The reason I came here is to find something my father left behind."
His deep voice was cold and sharp. These few simple words clearly explained his past, making Wen Yan's heart tremble. She never expected that behind the glamorous facade lay such a sorry state. She thought her own family was cold-blooded and heartless, but a wealthy family like the Lengs was even more devoid of human warmth.
She looked at his chiseled yet indifferent profile.
She hugged him tightly.
But she didn't know what to say.
The man held her quietly. A few minutes later, his gaze fell on her soft, tender lips. He kissed her, and instantly, sparks flew, dispelling the somber atmosphere.
"Mmmph!"
Wen Yan was startled, thinking he was too bold.
This was the office, after all.
People coming and going.
She instinctively struggled, but the man suddenly cried out in pain. Wen Yan's heart tightened. "What's wrong? Did your wound relapse?"
"You touched me." His breath was weak.
Wen Yan felt even more pained and guilty. She wanted to look at his wound, but he cupped her chin and kissed her passionately, his kiss deepening.
This time, she didn't even dare to struggle, letting the man take what he wanted. By the end, the girl's lips were swollen. She looked at him with a hint of resentment.
The man, however, patted her bottom with satisfaction. "Go sit over there."
He suddenly didn't want her to leave.
Wen Yan moved a chair and sat beside him, helping him pour tea and water. When she had nothing to do, she checked her phone and received a reply from the live streaming platform.
[According to our investigation, Yunyun's live stream had no vote manipulation. Her streaming function has now been restored.]
She curled her lips and screenshotted the message, sending it out.
It was a direct slap in the face to Su Qingyu.
However, the online replies were varied.
[To be fair, although Su Qingyu acted outrageously, where did Yunyun get so many supporters?]
[Maybe someone influential helped her promote? Are only you allowed to hire external help, Su Qingyu, but not Yunyun?]
[Su Qingyu is truly the biggest joke. Even Wen Ya went to her live stream, and she still didn't win. I'm dying of laughter. Her singing is truly subpar, especially when contrasted with Wen Ya.]
[I'm curious, who is the person behind Yunyun?]
[I know, I know! It's a high-level executive from XZ Company. I suspect Yunyun might be from XZ Company, and a high-level executive personally came to help Yunyun get votes! Yunyun is the real big shot!]
[Holy crap, it turns out the ones who are truly capable are the hidden big shots. Amazing!]
[Su Qingyu, come out and apologize. You've been spreading rumors about Yunyun. Be careful that XZ Group doesn't blacklist you!]
[Su Qingyu, apologize!]
...
Meanwhile, Wen Ya, who had just finished filming and was resting, checked on Su Qingyu's situation and saw the content on the trending search list. She had already felt ashamed when Su Qingyu lost, as she had participated. She was waiting to see evidence of Yunyun manipulating votes, but who knew that Yunyun hadn't manipulated votes?
Instead, XZ Group was helping Yunyun?
She couldn't help but think of CEO Ye.
Were they really just ordinary colleagues?
Complex emotions churned in Wen Ya's eyes.
She instructed her assistant, "Go to XZ Group!"
She had to know about this.
Upon arriving at XZ Group, Wen Ya knocked and entered the office.
She saw CEO Ye sitting elegantly behind his desk, a hint of infatuation appearing in her eyes.
This new magnate who had suddenly appeared in Haicheng was a king that all other noble sons couldn't compare to.
He had also captured Wen Ya's heart.
Therefore, even if the Wen family incurred some losses, she was determined to cooperate with CEO Ye on projects.
"CEO Ye, I noticed you were injured this morning, so I specifically instructed the kitchen to prepare a nourishing lunch for you. Please try it." Wen Ya approached with an elegant smile.
"Miss Wen is very thoughtful." His magnetic voice was calm, yet incredibly charming.
Wen Ya suppressed her racing heart and casually said, "It's just a small gesture. By the way, I heard that CEO Ye is particularly attentive to my sister. You even had company employees vote for her."
The man, who had been looking at documents, finally raised his deep, dark eyes. "Oh?"
"CEO Ye, don't you know? It's all over the internet now that a high-level executive from XZ Group manipulated votes for my sister, allowing her to win the competition. I thought it was you who did it."
Wen Ya smiled inwardly.
She had said that intentionally. She wasn't sure who was promoting Wen Yan yet, but CEO Ye would definitely not allow such behavior.
He would surely investigate.
As for Wen Yan...
She felt extremely disappointed.
Last time her mother said Wen Yan was a kept woman, she hadn't fully believed it. But now, since Wen Yan had actually hooked up with a company executive, she had no choice but to believe it.
Wen Yan was a gigolo!
As sisters,
She felt so ashamed.
This time, she could also take the opportunity to let CEO Ye teach her a lesson.
"Miss Wen is quite interested in the news." CEO Ye said indifferently, his emotions unreadable.
Wen Ya couldn't quite figure him out. "Of course, I'll pay attention to matters concerning CEO Ye."
The atmosphere fell silent.
Wen Ya found it strange.
She added, "But CEO Ye's influence is truly remarkable. With just a word, you helped my sister turn the tables."
"It's all thanks to you, Wen Ya." A light chuckle came from the side.
Wen Ya turned her head and saw Wen Yan on the sofa. The girl was wearing a white Chanel-style suit, looking gentle and elegant, with a hint of sharpness in her softness. Her clear and beautiful face was so captivating that one couldn't look away.
Wen Ya suddenly felt a bit awkward.
Caught red-handed talking badly about someone behind their back.
But she quickly thought, how could Wen Yan be here? Her expression became complicated. "Sister, why are you here during your lunch break?"
She emphasized "lunch break."
