After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 2145: Chapter 2149: Blushing and Flushed

Holding Luo Xiaoqian’s hand, Leng Zimo carefully walked to the door, opened it a crack, and peeked outside.

The hallway was quiet, with no bodyguards or anyone else in sight, and only then did he open the door wider.

”I’m... leaving.”

Luo Xiaoqian whispered softly, glanced at his face, and stepped forward to leave.

Just as she took a step, he pulled her back into his arms.

With a swift motion, Leng Zimo closed the door and pressed her against it, kissing her once more. But after just a peck on the lips, he released her, embracing her tightly.

”Xiao Qian, I love you... more than you can imagine. Do you believe me?”

”I believe.”

In his arms, Luo Xiaoqian replied softly.

”I’ll get you out of here as soon as possible. Take good care of yourself. For our future, you must stay well.”

”I will.”

Leng Zimo forced himself to let her go, ”Go upstairs.”

Looking up at him, Luo Xiaoqian tiptoed and gave him a light kiss on the lips.

”Zimo, goodnight kiss.”

”Goodnight.”

He smiled contentedly.

”I really have to go.”

Her tone was slightly helpless.

”Here’s your late-night snack.” Leng Zimo turned and brought the tray to her, ”The milk has gotten a bit cold. I’ll heat it up for you.”

”No need, drinking it cold occasionally is fine, too.”

Luo Xiaoqian took the tray, gritted her teeth, turned around, and opened the door to leave. Seeing no one was paying attention, she glanced back at the direction of the music room before hurrying upstairs.

Watching her turn up the stairs, Leng Zimo closed the door, re-equipped himself with a wig and fake beard, and, after closely inspecting to confirm nothing was amiss in the music room, carefully left and returned to his own room on the first floor.

Back in his room, Leng Zimo went to the bathroom to shower, recalling the events just now. His lips couldn’t help but turn up in a smile.

Although he hadn’t managed to awaken her memories as he wished, the current outcome wasn’t bad. At least he now knew she trusted him, still loved him, and with her cooperation, escaping would be easier.

Thinking about what she had said, he chuckled softly.

It turns out, the things she remembered most were him playing the piano and being intimate with him.

But then, that’s understandable. He was her first man, and even he clearly remembered their first time together.

Upstairs, Luo Xiaoqian tiptoed back to her room, picked up the cup of milk, but found her thoughts returning to Leng Zimo.

His kiss, his hands, his scent... she couldn’t help but blush once more.

Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night, filled with emotions and confusion!

...

...

As night faded and the window light began to brighten slightly, Leng Zirui gently laid Xu Xia back onto the pillow.

Carefully smoothing her messy hair, he lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead, reluctantly getting up.

Carefully retreating to the balcony, he silently flipped down. Outside the villa, on the lawn, Ah Jiu sat on the steps, smoking a cigarette.

Beside him, the steps were littered with cigarette butts.

To prevent others from discovering Leng Zirui and exposing his identity, Ah Jiu had been keeping watch all night.

”Thanks for your hard work.” Leng Zirui took the cigarette Ah Jiu handed him, ”Please take care of her for a few more days.”

”Alright.” Ah Jiu stood up, ”Mr. Leng, be careful.”

He, too, had been young before and had deeply loved a woman. Only those who have truly loved can understand the feelings Leng Zirui was experiencing at that moment.
