"Cold Master, that's a bit serious, isn't it? If you want me to stay away from her, I'm afraid I can't do that until she repays my favor."
Leng Xunze's eyes darkened slightly. "What favor? I'll repay it for her."
Feng Yan smiled. "Sorry, Cold Master, you're not the one who owes me a favor. Even if you're married, you shouldn't be able to control me if I ask Miss Wen to repay a favor, right?"
"She's mine. If you're not afraid of losing the entire Feng family, you can try!" Leng Xunze's eyes flashed with a cold glint.
Feng Yan's expression changed slightly. "Don't worry, I know my limits."
Wen Yan sat in the car. Seeing Leng Xunze walking towards her, she took out her phone and sent a message to Li Qiuyun: Mom, I'm back.
As soon as the message was sent.
She saw Li Qiuyun walking out of the hall. Wen Yan quickly got out of the car.
Li Qiuyun looked at Leng Xunze and felt like she had seen him somewhere before. Then she turned her gaze to Wen Yan. "Yan Yan, why does this person look so familiar?"
Wen Yan walked to Leng Xunze's side and was about to explain when Feng Yan spoke up from the side, "Auntie, this is Leng Xunze, the CEO of Leng Group."
Wen Yan glared at Feng Yan, gritting her teeth. She had never disliked anyone so much.
She smiled and said, "Mom, I was just about to introduce you. This is Leng Xunze, you've met him before."
"He's Leng Xunze?" Li Qiuyun looked at the tall man and suddenly remembered the man who had come to find Yan Yan before.
Leng Xunze looked at Li Qiuyun, his voice deep. "Mom."
"Don't call me that. Even though you and Yan Yan are married, I don't approve, so I won't accept this 'Mom.' You should leave." Li Qiuyun said in a very indifferent tone.
Wen Yan immediately spoke up for Leng Xunze. "Mom..."
"Yan Yan, I'm already being very kind by not kicking him out. You should leave too."
Leng Xunze's gaze was firm. "No matter how you feel about me, my feelings for Yan Yan will never change."
Li Qiuyun glanced at him and said nothing.
Wen Yan looked at Leng Xunze, a smile tugging at her lips. She felt a sense of being cherished.
Feng Yan watched this scene unfold without a word, his mind already considering the implications. Wen Yan's mother didn't like Leng Xunze.
Interesting!
Li Qiuyun then turned to Feng Yan. "Feng Yan, you should go back too. Auntie wants to rest early."
Feng Yan nodded, concerned. "Auntie, if you feel unwell anywhere, you can tell me."
Li Qiuyun nodded with a look of regret.
She really liked this child, Feng Yan.
But...
Feng Yan didn't linger and turned to leave.
Wen Yan walked quickly to Li Qiuyun's side and looked at her face. "Mom, where do you feel unwell?"
Li Qiuyun shook her head. "It's nothing, I just feel a bit regretful."
Wen Yan immediately understood what her mother meant and didn't expose her. "Mom, I know who is most suitable to spend the rest of my life with."
Leng Xunze's eyebrows slightly raised upon hearing this.
Li Qiuyun looked at her a few times and sighed. "I'm going back inside."
With that, she walked directly into the hall and closed the door.
Wen Yan watched Li Qiuyun's retreating figure, feeling a mix of emotions. She knew why Li Qiuyun disliked Leng Xunze, but she now realized that Leng Xunze was different from her father.
Leng Xunze walked up and put an arm around her waist. "What are you thinking about?"
She turned to look at the man's fair face and said gently, "You don't need to take my mother's words to heart. She's not targeting you."
"Hmm, is Mom really okay?" Leng Xunze asked again.
Wen Yan shook her head. "She's fine. Get in the car, and I'll tell you."
He nodded, then remembered something. "I bought Mom a car full of flowers. Why don't we move them inside?"
Wen Yan was taken aback, then turned to look at the various flowers in the trunk. She chuckled. "Husband, Mom owns a flower shop. Why did you buy flowers?"
Leng Xunze remembered what Yuan Jiamiao had said and explained, "To please her."
Wen Yan smiled, her gaze falling on the man's eyes. She suddenly found Leng Xunze very endearing at this moment.
After some thought, she said, "I'll put the flowers inside."
"I'll help you."
The two spent half an hour moving all the flowers from the car into the flower shop. Wen Yan did very little; most of the work was done by Leng Xunze.
After they finished, a gentle look flashed in Wen Yan's eyes. "Husband, have you eaten?"
Leng Xunze shook his head. "Not yet."
She was about to nag him, but afraid of disturbing her mother, she took his hand. "Let's go home and eat."
Leng Xunze nodded, looking down at the hand held by the girl, his heart softening.
They got back into the car.
As Leng Xunze started the car and drove away from the shop, she saw through the car window that the lights in the flower shop were turned off.
Actually, she knew that no matter how much her mother disliked Leng Xunze, she still liked flowers very much.
After driving a short distance, Leng Xunze turned to look at her. "Wife, you said Mom wasn't targeting me. Could it be because of someone else?"
Wen Yan nodded. "My mom and dad were very loving before. But after Wen Ya and her mother moved in, my dad got angry and kicked my mom and me out. My mom then took me and left, going to the Li family."
"She doesn't want me to marry into a wealthy family because she's afraid I'll be wronged."
She believed her mother.
Leng Xunze looked straight ahead. He seemed to understand. "I understand."
Wen Yan smiled. "Husband, what do you want to eat? I'll cook for you when we get back."
She felt that this kind of life was very good now.
"Really?"
Wen Yan looked at the smile on the man's lips and nodded. "Of course. I can't let my husband go hungry."
Leng Xunze freed one hand and held hers. "Then I want you."
Wen Yan's face instantly flushed red, and the temperature in the car rose.
At the same time.
In the Wen family.
Wen Shihao walked in from outside the hall, hanging his suit on the hanger.
At this moment, Madam Wen heard the noise and came downstairs. She walked up to him, putting on a virtuous wife's demeanor. "Husband, why are you back so late today?"
Wen Shihao thought of something and said, "I had a project proposal that needed my attention, so I'm back late."
Then, he glanced at the sofa and asked, "Yan Yan isn't back yet?"
Madam Wen didn't know why Wen Shihao was mentioning Wen Yan and felt a little unhappy. However, she calmly replied, "She hasn't been back since the last time. A few days ago, Ya'er saw Yan Yan getting quite close to the Yuan family's daughter!"
Wen Shihao had a plan in mind upon hearing this. "Ask Yan Yan to come back for dinner tomorrow. Whether the Wen Corporation can get this project depends on Wen Yan."
Wen Yan connecting with Leng Xunze also provided him with an advantage.
If Wen Yan mentioned it to Leng Xunze, the Wen Corporation's proposal would stand out.
Madam Wen felt a little more balanced upon hearing this. "But Yan Yan probably won't help us."
Wen Shihao sighed. "Ya'er, when she returns, tell her that if she can persuade Yan Yan to secure the cooperation project, I'll let her inherit the Wen Corporation."
