Leng Xunze looked at Wen Yan. He had wanted to forget this ungrateful girl more than once, but he could never manage it.
Wen Yan glanced at the man, "You..."
Before she could finish, Leng Xunze said in a low voice, "We'll talk about it after the birthday banquet."
Wen Yan nodded and said no more.
She was grateful that Leng Xunze had supported her just now, but wasn't he making enemies for her by announcing their relationship?
An hour later.
The birthday banquet ended.
Guests left one after another. When only Song Na and Leng Bairui were left in the grand hall, Leng Xue called out to Wen Yan, "Miss Wen, do you have time? I'd like to have a chat with you."
Wen Yan knew what Leng Xue would say. "Okay."
Leng Xunze, hearing this, refused with a cold expression, "She has other matters. You can ask me whatever you want to ask."
Then, he looked at Wen Yan, "Let's go, I'll take you back."
As he spoke, he was about to lead Wen Yan away.
Song Na, overhearing this, was filled with jealousy.
Why did Wen Yan deserve Leng Xunze's special treatment?
Seeing this, Leng Xue instantly became angry, "Leng Xunze, do you still have me as your mother in your eyes? You're simply too arrogant."
"Do you have me as your son in your eyes?" Leng Xunze stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Leng Xue.
Leng Xue was immediately speechless.
Seeing the tense atmosphere between them, Ou Ziqing's lips curved. She grabbed Leng Xue's arm and said, "Xue'er, don't be angry. We can talk about it tomorrow."
Comforted by Ou Ziqing, Leng Xue's anger subsided considerably.
Seeing this, Leng Xunze grabbed Wen Yan and left.
Wen Yan hadn't said a word the whole time. She could tell that Leng Xunze and Leng Xue had a bad relationship, but Leng Xue seemed to listen to that man.
The two walked out of the manor. Leng Xunze got into the car and looked at her, "What did she ask you? If you can't handle it, call me."
Wen Yan asked the question in her heart, "Leng Xunze, why did you make our relationship public?"
The man slowly said, "What do you think!"
She was stunned for a moment and explained, "If you make our relationship public, some people will use me to threaten you. Then, not only will you be in danger, but I won't be spared either."
Leng Xunze chuckled, "Worried about me?"
Wen Yan's face darkened, "I'm talking about serious matters! Look, after you made our relationship public, your mother and sister both opposed it, and it even affected the cooperation between Leng's and Song's."
"After making our relationship public, you won't be able to run away," Leng Xunze said with a slight smile.
He had been pondering what would happen if he lost Wen Yan. Just now, seeing her fighting alone, he had realized that he couldn't live without her.
Wen Yan's face instantly turned red. She seemed not to have heard clearly, "Leng Xunze, what did you say?"
The next second, the man stopped the car by the roadside.
Seeing him stop the car, she asked in confusion, "Why are you stopping?"
Then, she saw Leng Xunze staring at her, like a wolf staring at its prey, locking her in his gaze.
Wen Yan shrank her neck and retreated. Just as she was about to speak, Leng Xunze cupped her neck, making her heart tremble.
Leng Xunze saw the woman's timid appearance and his smile widened. He tilted his head and his lips landed on Wen Yan's.
Wen Yan's pupils suddenly contracted. Her slender fingers curled up, and her heart beat faster for a moment.
The kiss ended. Wen Yan looked at the man, "You..."
Leng Xunze looked into her eyes, "Wen Yan, I ask you, if I weren't the eldest young master of the Leng family, if I weren't the CEO of Leng's, would you still divorce me?"
Wen Yan met his gaze, "Are you serious?"
She hadn't expected Leng Xunze to give up his status as the young master of the Leng family.
Leng Xunze's eyes were filled with a smile, "You still haven't answered my question."
Wen Yan was at a loss for words, "Leng Xunze, give me some time to adjust."
He grunted and started driving again.
Half an hour later.
Leng Xunze parked the car at the entrance of her rental apartment. Neither of them spoke.
Wen Yan looked at him, "Leng Xunze, you should go back."
"Where should I go back to?" Leng Xunze looked at her and asked.
She was stunned, not understanding why he would ask that. She said, "Of course, you should go back."
If not back, then stay with her?
Leng Xunze replied the next second, "I've already made our relationship public. You still want me to go back and live separately? Moreover, I plan to talk to her tomorrow and give up everything from the Leng family. Then I'll have nowhere to live."
Wen Yan saw that he wasn't lying and couldn't refute him. She turned and got out of the car, responding, "Come up."
Leng Xunze's eyebrows slightly raised. Just as he was about to get out of the car, he received a call from Zuo An. "What is it?"
Zuo An rarely called him proactively unless it was something extremely urgent.
Zuo An's tone was calm, "Mr. Leng, Song's wants to terminate several of our collaborations."
Leng Xunze heard this and said, "This will be handled by someone. If anyone wants to follow suit, don't worry about it."
Zuo An was stunned, "Mr. Leng, those projects that Song's is collaborating with us on are almost completed. If they withdraw their investment now, it will bring us immeasurable losses."
"Someone will take care of it. You don't need to worry."
Hearing this, Zuo An wisely said no more.
Wen Yan returned to her rental apartment. Just as she was about to take a shower, Leng Xunze followed her in.
She turned to look at him, "There are no slippers or toiletries at home. It's so late, we can only buy them tomorrow. You'll have to make do for now."
Leng Xunze grunted and walked directly into the master bedroom. Wen Yan was stunned when she saw him enter her room without even a greeting. Then she walked up to him and asked, "Leng Xunze, are you sleeping here tonight?"
Leng Xunze turned to look at her, "We're husband and wife, we can't sleep in separate beds."
Wen Yan couldn't refute him, "I'll go take a shower first."
She turned and walked into the bathroom, thinking about what had happened tonight. How did she feel that Leng Xunze had planned this for a long time?
Leng Xunze saw the closed bathroom door and a smile spread across his lips.
When Wen Yan came out of the shower and was drying her hair, she saw Leng Xunze sitting on the bed. Her face turned red, and she asked, "Leng Xunze, you can go take a shower now."
Leng Xunze looked at her, "Okay."
Saying that, he stood up and walked into the bathroom.
Half an hour later.
Wen Yan was still a little unaccustomed to having a man lying on the bed. She didn't fall asleep until late at night.
She felt a little cold in the middle of the night and casually felt around the bed. She snuggled closer, feeling less cold, and a smile appeared on her lips.
Leng Xunze looked at the woman who had buried her head in his arms. He put his arm around her waist and felt a burning sensation, ultimately unable to sleep.
The next morning.
Morning light shone into the large bed in the room through the gaps in the curtains.
As soon as Wen Yan opened her eyes, she saw a handsome face. Her face turned red, and she pushed away his chest. How did she end up sleeping in Leng Xunze's arms?
Leng Xunze woke up and looked at Wen Yan's shy expression. He said, "You snuggled over yourself last night."
