A flicker of displeasure passed, and Leng Lingxiao slipped his hands into his pockets, "Well then, I’ll head back first. Let’s chat when we have time, feel free to drop by, goodbye."
"Mr. Leng, how long have we known each other?" Tang Xiaowan suddenly shouted.
Leng Lingxiao stopped in his tracks and slowly turned around.
So long, we’ve known each other for so long?
With Li Zishen, it was just over a year, and he called himself my boyfriend, yet with Leng Lingxiao, it’s been 15 years!
No wonder he knew I loved to sneakily eat Bingtang as a child.
"Tangtang, what else do you want to know?"
"I... was my grandmother’s car accident really an accident? And on the night I was attacked... where were you?"
Leng Lingxiao’s eyes suddenly reddened.
"Yes, it was an accident, that night... I went to Country Y, Tangtang, I’m sorry, I didn’t expect so much to happen."
"Yes, Country Y, I’m sorry, it was careless of me not to protect you better."
Tang Xiaowan fell into deep thought...
[Tangtang, don’t go to Jin City, and don’t go to Country Y either, promise Grandma you’ll never go to Jin City, Grandma is doing this for your own good. If you love him, go with him, but you must keep Mei Garden, it’s the dowry Grandma is leaving for you, and hopefully, he can take you away...]
This was a dying message, found in a safe in Mei Garden, spoken by Tang Mei.
Tang Xiaowan guessed that the voice recorder had probably been locked inside just before the accident, but Grandma hadn’t finished her words.
Who is she referring to in her liking?
And where is she advising to leave to, and why not go to Jin City or Country Y?
The very night Leng Lingxiao had gone to Country Y!
Oh, I almost forgot, the internet says his business is quite extensive, mostly overseas, and it was normal for him to fly all over the world.
"Tangtang, what are you thinking about? Are you angry with me? I really didn’t expect something would happen to you, I’m really sorry, Tangtang..."
"Mr. Leng." Tang Xiaowan suddenly interrupted, "Thank you for telling me all this, I’ll be moving over in a few days, when I do... we can have a good chat."
"Sure, just let me know when you’re moving."
Leng Lingxiao smiled and turned to leave, but after only a few steps, his expression changed, his brows filled with guilt and a faint sadness.
minutes later, the rose pruning was finished.
Cheng Shi then came out of the house, "Miss, the surveillance equipment has been adjusted, do you want to try it again?"
"Just install it directly on the phone."
"Yes, the one that Leng Lingxiao gave me."
"Never mind, I’ll do it myself. Actually, it’s quite simple, I probably overcomplicated things before, wasting so much time for nothing."
Saying so, Tang Xiaowan went inside.
Cheng Shi looked utterly confused.
At that moment, in the study of Building 28, Leng Lingxiao was swirling his glass, thoughtfully looking at everything in front of him.
How Tang Xiaowan pruned the branches, how she was pricked by the thorns, and how she put her finger into her mouth, Leng Lingxiao watched intently, as if watching his own child, his eyes filled with indulgence and pain.
"She hasn’t changed at all, still so mischievous!"
He drank the Western liquor in one gulp, very decisively, then poured another immediately, drinking it all just as casually as if it were water, without a single furrow in his brow.
This was a very strong spirit!
Not only was it costly, but the aftermath was something most people couldn’t handle.
"Tangtang, maybe you are right, but how could I just stand by and do nothing? I’m afraid I’ll never be able to do that, so..."
At that moment, the phone rang.
Leng Lingxiao glanced at the cellphone on the table, then, with a furrowed brow, pressed the answer button. The rıghtful source is novel-fire.net
