Looking at Lu Jinyang, whose complexion was nearing grim, Gu Chen didn’t ask anything and went aside to make a phone call.
Soon, he provided Lu Jinyang with an answer: "Yes, it’s said that it’s a relationship aimed at marriage." In other words, a fiancée. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novel✶fire.net
Upon hearing this, Lu Jinyang’s face became unreadable. Subconsciously, Gu Chen took a step back, walking away from him.
He said, "Let’s go to the Leng Family."
Gu Chen was shocked, "Now?"
Throughout the ride, Gu Chen was silent and focused on driving.
From the moment Lu Jinyang nodded at him until now, he still hadn’t fully processed it.
Would Leng Yixing really go back to the Leng Family because of a woman?
In the past, Leng Yixing’s father didn’t agree with his decision to join the military, and despite great efforts, he couldn’t prevent him. Subsequently, the family relationships became extremely tense. Moreover, since joining the military, Leng Yixing hadn’t returned to the Leng Family, and it was said that he hadn’t even made a phone call home.
That was the reason Gu Chen was so shocked and couldn’t believe it.
The Bentley stopped in front of the Leng Family’s villa gate, which slowly opened; Leng Yixing was driving out.
Without saying a word, Gu Chen got out of the car to stop him.
"Ah Xing, you really are here!"
The car window rolled down, revealing Leng Yixing’s cool countenance, and it was obvious he was not in a good mood.
After hearing Gu Chen’s words, he just nodded indifferently. For the first time he asked him in an indifferent tone, "What’s up?"
Gu Chen looked at him incredulously, unable to believe that he would speak to him in such a tone since he was always so casual when talking to him.
Neither of them said a word.
After a while, a voice came from behind, "Are you two planning to gaze deeply into each other’s eyes until dawn?"
Gu Chen coughed awkwardly, pointing to the Bentley, "No.9 Mansion, there’s something to discuss."
Leng Yixing agreed without a second thought. At first, Gu Chen thought he had come to terms with it, only to realize later he agreed for the sake of free drinks!
Arriving at the private room of the mansion, Leng Yixing hadn’t even sat down before he called for a dozen casks of beer.
Gu Chen’s mouth twitched non-stop, while Lu Jinyang leaned back on the couch, watching him with a relaxed expression, "Should I also call Li Yan over?"
Leng Yixing showed tonight’s second expression, a distinct display of dislike, "Why call him?"
Drinking and then visiting a doctor, that’s something he truly detests.
Unexpectedly, Lu Jinyang answered, "After ten casks of beer, neither Gu Chen nor I can save you."
Leng Yixing swallowed back the words he was about to say, remaining silent.
Seeing this, Gu Chen finally let out a sigh of relief.
"Ah Xing, if it’s because of that woman, you shouldn’t do this. If you disappear for a few more days, for all you know, she might be married by then. How would you compete?"
Lu Jinyang gave him a cold glance, hit the nail right on the head - he came to them to handle Si Nanchen’s matter, and who knew that Leng Yixing would cause such a scene.
Hearing this, Leng Yixing let out a cold snort, then somewhat despondently said, "That damned old man insists on me retiring before he hands over power; dammit, all these years I’ve got nothing but military honors outside the barracks, I don’t have my own influence." And now, he can’t even keep his own woman.
"Lu Xiao doesn’t have power either," Gu Chen said.
"Dammit, it’s just that Lu Xiao can use power to help Qin Zhao boost performance, but I can’t."
Gu Chen fell silent, thinking of the woman who had left him for the same reasons, and he slightly lowered his gaze.
"Jinyang, Lu Shao, tomorrow I’ll go back and apply for retirement, will you join me?"
Leng Yixing thought, Lu Jinyang should as well, right? After all, in the military district he wouldn’t be able to stay by his wife’s side day and night.
