After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 2250: Chapter 2254: Don’t Touch Anything Else

”Thank you, godfather.” Lei Qingqing raised her hand to hold the ice pack, ”I’ll do it myself.”

”Sir, ROY is back!” the subordinate by the door reported softly, and Lei Wenting withdrew his hand, sat up straight, and glanced at Lei Qingqing beside him. A trace of an imperceptible coldness flashed across his face.

”Sorry to keep you two waiting.” Leng Zirui walked in, returned to his seat, and sat down, ”Now, let’s talk about tomorrow’s plan!”

...

...

Dusk gradually descended.

The lights on the small island were also gradually lighting up.

Leng Zimo glanced satisfactorily at the dumplings neatly wrapped before him and exhaled softly; success or failure hinged on this single effort.

”What are we eating tonight?!”

Although Luo Xiaoqian initially wanted to help Leng Zimo, he refused her. With an early departure planned for tomorrow at dawn, Leng Zimo hoped she could take a good nap this afternoon.

Luo Xiaoqian hadn’t slept well last night, and with Luo Ke away from the island and Leng Zimo present, she felt relaxed. Her nap was restful, and she had only just woken up. The first thing she did upon rising was to find Leng Zimo.

Upon hearing her voice, Leng Zimo raised his head and looked at her.

Their eyes met, and they saw the smiles in each other’s eyes. However, with the maids helping nearby, they did not communicate verbally.

However, thanks to the rapport built over the past few days, the two had quickly regained their previous tacit understanding. There was no need for many words; they already understood each other’s thoughts.

Luo Xiaoqian walked over with a smile, and upon seeing the dumplings wrapped by Leng Zimo, she immediately exclaimed.

”Wow, they’re beautiful!”

This wasn’t just flattery.

The dumplings varied in shape—some like normal dumplings, others heart-shaped or half-moon shaped. Plus, the dumpling skins were colored with vegetable juices, making them different hues, like orange from carrot juice, green from spinach juice, and purple from purple cabbage juice. They looked like beautiful handcrafted artworks.

Leng Zimo smiled without a word.

These were not made just because he was in the mood or had nothing else to do, but because he intentionally marked them.

Some dumplings were safe to eat, while others were not. To prevent arousing suspicion, he purposefully made them fancy to mislead everyone.

For tomorrow morning’s plan, Leng Zimo had gone to great lengths, considering every possible detail thoughtfully.

”Alright!” Carefully wrapping a dumpling into a heart shape, Leng Zimo gently clapped his hands, ”You two go prepare the dining table; I’ll handle the rest.”

The two maids finished their tasks and turned to leave.

Leng Zimo then reached out and presented the heart-shaped orange dumpling to Luo Xiaoqian, solemnly reminding her.

”Remember, in a while, only eat the heart-shaped dumplings on your plate. Don’t touch anything else!”

Guessing that he had tinkered with them, Luo Xiaoqian nodded solemnly.

Seeing that she was a bit nervous, Leng Zimo removed his gloves and tucked a few stray hairs behind her ear, ”Don’t be too nervous. Everything will go smoothly. Remember not to close the door. Just wait for me to take you home. From Rome to Beijing takes about a dozen hours or so. I calculated it, and with the time difference, when you get back to Beijing, you’ll see the sunrise, the start of a beautiful day, a radiant summer dawn...”

Luo Xiaoqian smiled, ”I believe it; it will be beautiful indeed!”

Goodnight
