"Um... Grandma, actually, Hua Hua took me to a very legitimate place, really, with all the protective measures, extremely safe," Tang Xiaowan explained hurriedly, for fear that her grandmother would worry.
This was also something Mr. Leng had emphasized repeatedly.
At this moment, Cheng Shi, who held the steering wheel, was completely shocked and confused; he stealthily glanced rearward through the rearview mirror.
Mr. Leng took the young lady to practice shooting?
When did that happen, and how come I didn’t know? It wasn’t in the dead of night, was it?
Shoot, the old lady definitely wouldn’t allow it.
"With Leng Lingxiao accompanying you, you naturally learn anything quickly. Like when you learned to swim, you dared to go into the river after just a morning, and you were only six then," Tang Mei said slowly, her face full of affection.
"Grandma, you... you aren’t opposed?" Tang Xiaowan asked curiously, somewhat incredulous.
"Oh, after experiencing yesterday... your kidnapping by Du Jiahao, Grandma has realized that some things... are indeed necessary to learn."
"Grandma, you’re really the best!"
Tang Xiaowan cuddled in Tang Mei’s embrace, feeling delighted deep down, as she wouldn’t need to sneak around anymore.
At two in the afternoon, at Lingxiao Manor.
As soon as Tang Xiaowan got back, she put on her favorite floral dress and then rushed eagerly to the western section of the second floor to show off to Leng Lingxiao.
A woman dresses to please the one she admires, and this was exactly the moment.
The bedroom door was slightly ajar and unlocked; Tang Xiaowan entered and immediately called out twice.
"Hua Hua, Hua Hua, look, look!"
"My new dress, does it look good?"
Leng Lingxiao had been preparing to sign some important documents, but upon seeing Tang Xiaowan, he quickly put down his pen and looked up.
The pleating at the waist of the dress was exquisitely crafted, perfectly showcasing Tang Xiaowan’s delicate figure, charming yet dignified.
Any man who saw it would have his heart pounding.
"It looks good; my Tangtang looks good in anything, you’ve got such a great figure, it’s inevitable, what can we do? Hahaha."
"Yuck, gross, who’s yours?" ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novęlfire.net
Leng Lingxiao pulled Tang Xiaowan into his embrace, let her sit on his lap, and then tenderly kissed her forehead.
"Oh my, you scared me!"
"Let’s go get the certificate now, let’s not delay any longer, shall we?"
As the words fell, the air seemed to freeze.
"But today is Sunday! Oh, it’s a working day in lieu of a holiday! But isn’t it a bit too soon? I’m still in school. Oh right, I picked out a little gift for you while shopping... I forgot to bring it in my rush, I’ll get it now, just wait for me."
Tang Xiaowan’s hesitant demeanor was genuinely adorable, prompting Leng Lingxiao to kiss her forehead again, this time with a bit more force.
His eyes were filled with indulgence and admiration, but he had no intention of letting her go.
"It’s not too early; 20 is just right."
"But... I still feel it’s a bit early. As for getting the certificate, I think, maybe... we could wait a bit longer, there’s no rush."
Tang Xiaowan touched her nose unconsciously.
She pondered whether something had upset Leng Lingxiao; he seemed so insistent on having a resolution, his gaze appearing strange, abnormal.
Because of the kidnapping incident?
Or perhaps, could it be the thank-you message I sent to Li Zishen that he noticed, and he’s jealous?
It couldn’t possibly be because the dress is too pretty?
"Tangtang, let’s not drag this any longer, shall we? A lot of things are unpredictable, so we must cherish every day we have together."
It was indeed because of the kidnapping!
Was he afraid that I might suddenly depart from this life?
Rest assured, this lady has a strong life!
"I’m not dragging it; maybe... let’s just ask Grandma," Tang Xiaowan explained.
"Didn’t Grandma say a few days ago that she won’t meddle with the details of the wedding? She told us to handle it ourselves, so let’s get the certificate first to ease my mind, and the wedding can happen a bit later."
"That’s not enough; I haven’t even met your parents yet, then there’s the engagement, picking a date, so many things to do."
Leng Lingxiao raised an eyebrow: "Really wanna meet them?"
"Of course, even if it’s more straightforward, we need to follow some procedures, it’s really impolite not to meet them."
"Alright, let’s go, they’re probably on the third floor right now, can’t wait to see you."
Leng Lingxiao’s tone carried hints of joy, and even excitement, but for Tang Xiaowan, this news was absolutely explosive.
Mr. and Mrs. are here?
My goodness, how could this happen?
She almost wished she could smack herself; she had really dug herself into a huge pit, and now, she was practically buried alive.
