After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 536: Chapter 540 The Difference Between Love and Not Love [5]

Luo Xiaoqian hadn’t even touched the glass before he became that anxious, yet when her own hand was injured and bleeding, he didn’t even ask.

Leng Zimo, how could he treat her like this? How could he be like this to her?!

”Sister Xu Pei, are you okay?”

Luo Xiaoqian finished applying the bandage and, looking up to see the absent-minded expression on her face, asked with concern.

”It’s nothing, just feeling unwell these past few days, didn’t rest well, I scared myself!” Xu Pei withdrew her fingers, ”Since there’s nothing wrong with you two, I’ll head back first. There’s the matter of your work plan adjustment that Ya Nan and Yu Tong are discussing in the meeting; I need to go check on it. You guys chat.”

Xu Xia also stood up to take her leave, the music video hadn’t been finished, and she came back in a rush because she was worried about Luo Xiaoqian. This time, she had booked a round-trip flight and needed to return to Jeju Island later to continue working.

Luo Xiaoqian escorted them to the elevator entrance and watched the elevator go down before turning back.

By this time, Leng Zimo had already gone upstairs, changed into a clean shirt, and came back down.

”Let’s go, we’re making a trip back to the Leng Family Mansion.”

Luo Xiaoqian reached up to smooth out his slightly wrinkled shirt, ”Is there something wrong?”

”He said... he wants to give us an explanation.”

Knowing that the ”he” Leng Zimo was referring to must indeed be his father, Leng Lin, Luo Xiaoqian couldn’t help but feel surprised.

Seeing her nervousness, Leng Zimo placed his hands on her shoulders, ”Remember, no matter what the truth is, you are you, and you’ll always be my most beloved Luo Xiaoqian.”

She looked up into his eyes, then smiled, ”In the future, I won’t be as foolish as I was this time.”

Leng Zimo raised his hand to cup her face, ”Don’t forget what I’ve told you. I don’t want any misunderstandings between us. If there is ever a situation like this again, make sure you ask me directly and don’t come up with your own wild guesses.”

”I’m sorry.” Luo Xiaoqian lowered her eyelids slightly, ”Do you know why I ran away?”

”Why?”

”I was scared.” She pinched one of his buttons, ”I was afraid you would ask me to leave because of my mom. I... don’t want to leave you, I can’t bear it!”

She thought of running far away because she was afraid that, upon being found, he would say goodbye to her.

”Little Fool!” Leng Zimo, distressed, lifted her head to rest it on his chest. ”Don’t ever do such a foolish thing again.”

”Mhm!” she agreed while nestled in his embrace, ”From now on, I will stick to you like a plaster, impossible to peel off or shake away!”

Leng Zimo laughed, ”Good!”

...

...

Leng Family Mansion.

Leng Lin stood with his hands behind his back in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, gazing idly at the pine trees in the backyard.

At the sound of a knock, he immediately turned around.

”Come in!”

Aunt Su opened the door with a smile, and upon seeing Leng Zimo and Luo Xiaoqian standing outside, she promptly let them in.

The pair, holding hands, entered the hallway; Leng Zimo appeared very calm, whereas Luo Xiaoqian, looking at Leng Lin, couldn’t help but feel a bit uneasy.

”Come upstairs with me!” Leng Lin turned and ascended the staircase.

Luo Xiaoqian stood still, glancing hesitantly at Leng Zimo beside her. He gave her a comforting smile and then held her hand firmly, leading her upstairs.

As they entered the study, Leng Lin spoke indifferently.

”Close the door, sit!”

Luo Xiaoqian closed the door behind her, but Leng Zimo stayed put, neither moving nor sitting.

Leng Lin gave him a look but said nothing, simply bending over to open a cabinet, unlocking the safe, and taking out a manila envelope, which he passed across the table toward him.

Goodnight
