Li Mengjie pursed her lips slightly, a touch of resentful charm in her eyes, and said, "And you say there’s nothing between you two, yet here you are, considering her in every aspect."
"Alright, what exactly do you want?" Leng Xuan found that although Li Mengjie, the little girl, acted convincingly, there was a faint slyness in her eyes. So, he straightforwardly addressed the main point.
Sure enough, Li Mengjie chuckled mischievously, with the look of someone who had successfully pulled off a scheme, and said, "Well then, since you’re so sensible, I will present you with two conditions. If you agree, I’ll pretend nothing ever happened, but if you don’t..."
Interrupting Li Mengjie, Leng Xuan resignedly said, "Just tell me your conditions, alright?"
Li Mengjie smiled and said, "Firstly, my words are like imperial edicts; you must obey them without question."
’You think you’re some ancient emperor handing down decrees?’ Although that’s what Leng Xuan thought inwardly, he outwardly replied, "That depends on the issue at hand."
"Don’t you talk back to me!" Li Mengjie immediately displayed her Empress-like authority, then continued with a smile, "Secondly... without my permission, you’re not allowed to randomly flirt with other women. If I find out, hmph! You’ll bear the consequences!"
Damn! Leng Xuan almost choked on his own blood, what was all this about?
Not allowing him to flirt with others, could it be that she really had taken a liking to him?
If one were to say that, then Leng Xuan would never believe it, even if it killed him, so he said, "Miss Li, isn’t your second condition a bit too excessive?"
Li Mengjie said, "Excessive? I don’t think so. Heh, if you don’t agree, that’s fine. I didn’t beg you to."
Leng Xuan didn’t take the matter to heart, presuming Li Mengjie was merely joking. Sighing helplessly and with a bitter smile, he said, "Fine, you win," as he prepared to lie down again on the sofa. Suddenly, Li Mengjie exclaimed, "Stop right there!"
"What now?" Leng Xuan was really exasperated and turned around, saying, "Haven’t you already made two requests?"
Li Mengjie immediately switched to a cheery demeanor, speaking in a very alluring, coquettish voice, "I don’t want to eat bread anymore. Aren’t you good at cooking noodles? Go make me a bowl of noodles!"
Leng Xuan said, "Can’t you make them yourself?"
Li Mengjie narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "Are you going or not? Believe it or not, I’ll tell..."
"Miss Xiao Jie, Leng Xuan, good morning!" Suddenly, Xiao Yun came out, standing at the doorway, rubbing her eyes, looking like she had not slept well.
Li Mengjie’s words were abruptly cut off, and her face blushed slightly as she fell silent.
"Miss Xiao Jie, you want noodles? Hehe, then I’ll go make them." Without waiting for Li Mengjie to speak, she went to the kitchen to make noodles.
After glancing at Leng Xuan, Li Mengjie seemed quite annoyed, huffed, and went to watch TV on the sofa. Leng Xuan, feeling rather awkward, was about to go help in the kitchen when he heard Li Mengjie say, "Leng Xuan, come keep me company while I watch TV."
Leng Xuan paused, looked back at Li Mengjie, and thought to himself, ’What’s with this girl today, acting as though she caught me in a vulnerable situation and can now do whatever she pleases, ordering me around like a servant?’ But then, it was just watching TV, so he didn’t say much and sat down on the sofa. Hardly had he settled when Li Mengjie gave him a glare and said, "Have you forgotten what I just told you?"
