Tang Xiaowan glanced at the surrounding red roses, which were far too eye-catching. These were not a scene she could allow Leng Lingxiao to witness.
A private fight was a minor matter, but if it spread online, it wouldn’t be sothing that could be explained away in just a few words.
"Tangtang, Tangtang, why aren’t you speaking?"
Leng Lingxiao’s voice pulled Tang Xiaowan’s myriad thoughts back sharply.
She couldn’t let him co over, absolutely not.
"Huahua, can you pick up at Jinda South Gate? I was planning to go there to buy so siumai, suddenly got a craving for it, just on the way."
"South Gate? Oh, alright, South Gate it is."
"Great, see you in a bit."
"Hold on, Tangtang, I can pick you up and we’ll go get siumai together; it’s on the way after all, saving Cheng Shi the back and forth."
"Old Li just delivered the car last night, and I want to let ijuan get used to it; is that okay?"
"Oh, I see, sure, of course it’s okay. But it’s probably best if you sit in the back since Wang ijuan isn’t a professional driver, and it’s been a long ti..."
At that mont, a male neighbor living just across the street from building number 29 curiously observed.
Yesterday there was a basket of flowers, but today, the yard is filled with baskets, all red roses. Could the new residents be so international superstar, second-generation official, or secretive rich family?
Every day it’s either luxury cars or fresh flowers!
Today, they’re directly welcod by so many n in suits and glasses, wearing earpieces – the legendary n in black, bodyguards?
Surely they can’t be spies or part of so secret organization?
No, no, that would be too ostentatious!
All sorts of wild thoughts flooded his mind, so he stealthily raised his phone, and snap, took several photos.
"Sir, please hand over your phone."
A deep voice suddenly entered his ear.
The male neighbor turned and was scared out of his wits, not knowing when a towering stranger had entered his yard.
The stranger wasn’t dressed all in black, but his expressionless deanor was still quite frightening.
"I just... I didn’t an anything by it."
"Please hand over your phone."
The expressionless stranger persisted, swiftly operating the handed-over phone with practiced ease, deleting photos until they were all gone.
"Sorry for the inconvenience, goodbye."
"No, it’s no trouble, not at all."
The neighbor finally breathed a sigh of relief, paused for a few seconds, and quickly retreated back into his house.
anwhile, at building number 29.
Once Tang Xiaowan’s conversation with Leng Lingxiao was over, Cheng Shi had already arranged for the car; it won’t take more than 20 minutes for people to co over and transport all the roses.
As for candies and toys, there are plenty of supermarkets along the way, she could just go in and buy so.
"ijuan, drive to Jinda University."
"Sure, I’ll get the keys."
"Cheng Shi, help Granny Yu tidy up, I’ll leave this place in your hands, thanks for the hard work."
"No problem, Miss, it’s what I should do."
Yesterday afternoon, in order to dissuade Leng Lingxiao from the idea of gifting her a car, Tang Xiaowan made an overnight arrangent for Li Fugui to drive over a spare car from Qing City i Garden.
From then on, Wang ijuan and Granny Yu would no longer need to walk to buy groceries.
Two birds with one stone, why not do it.
Thus, Wang ijuan’s ability to drive was also incidentally confird by Tang Xiaowan.
She had guessed correctly, this seemingly plain girl was actually hiding her talents deep; disassembling dangerous goods, suturing wounds, setting bones — she handled it all with ease.
...
Jinshan Villa was a haven of tranquility.
The magnificent gate slowly opened, and a cool black motorcycle roared in as if the wind under its wheels, carrying Tang Xiaowan and Leng Lingxiao.
"Why did you bring here?"
Leng Lingxiao helped Tang Xiaowan take off her helt, smiling as he said, "You’ll know in a mont."
Tang Xiaowan gave him a glance.
"Why did you say those things to the reporters this morning? Who’s your girlfriend? Who likes Bingtang? Trying to please your girlfriend? Seems more like annoying her to !"
"Ah, you knew about it?"
"As soon as I turned on my phone, there was nothing but your reports everywhere. I couldn’t not see them even if I wanted to."
"I didn’t na nas, but it’s odd, Li Zishen withdrew all the people surveilling this afternoon... including yours. Interesting, very interesting."
Hearty laughter broke the silence.
At this mont, Leng Lingxiao was in such a good mood as if he had just won a tough battle.
"What did you say? Li Zishen pulled everyone around ? Wow, no way, you’re not fooling , are you? For real?"
"Right, he didn’t leave a single one."
Leng Lingxiao thought to himself how Li Zishen must be sulking because Tang Xiaowan had rejected him.
It probably won’t take long before things go back to normal.
He understood the little gas n play, just trying to cool things off a bit, trying to regain so presence.
But seeing how elated Tang Xiaowan was, Leng Lingxiao was sowhat puzzled. He shouldn’t be curious, shouldn’t be prying, but why was she so happy?
"This is great, finally not being monitored."
Leng Lingxiao nodded, satisfied.
So, in Tangtang’s eyes, all that Li Zishen did was futile, not protection, but surveillance.
Good, very good!
My Little Tangtang hasn’t changed at all.
So, Leng Lingxiao took out his phone and imdiately sent a ssage to Zhao Renjie with a new order, telling him to set off again in two hours.
In the small conference room on the first floor, Zhao Renjie read the ssage and slowly lifted his cup of tea to take a sip.
"Brother Zhao, co look."
Tian Jiaojiao lowered her voice and called out.
She thought it was another staff mber from headquarters, as several had co recently, including two group executives, making this a makeshift office space.
But when Tang Xiaowan’s helt was removed, Tian Jiaojiao was completely dumbfounded.
Fair-skinned, delicate-looking.
Clearly, a young girl with little experience in the world, definitely not a staff mber from headquarters. More importantly, the one riding the motorcycle was her boss, the unsmiling Leng Lingxiao.
Seeing Zhao Renjie’s lack of reaction, Tian Jiaojiao sat back down.
"Brother Zhao, the chairman is back."
Tian Jiaojiao had only started using the title chairman a few months ago.
When she first joined the company, she called Leng Lingxiao President, following the lead of the senior who was training her. But later, when she heard the executives call him Chairman, she quickly adjusted her way of addressing him.
"If I were you, I wouldn’t go out. Just stay put." Zhao Renjie’s tone was indifferent, followed by another sip of tea.
Tian Jiaojiao: "?"
"Brother Zhao, who’s the girl with the chairman?"
"The future lady of the house."
Upon hearing this, Tian Jiaojiao seed incredulous, that she could capture Leng Lingxiao’s heart, she must be soone of significance.
A dream for so many won!
With that thought, Tian Jiaojiao couldn’t help but feel envious. She hurried to the window to sneak a peek, but regretfully, they were gone. Leng Lingxiao and Tang Xiaowan had already entered the main hall.
"Brother Zhao, she’s so pretty! She looks quite young, is she still in school, is she so rich girl from Jin City?"
Seeing Tian Jiaojiao’s gossip-hungry look, Zhao Renjie shook his head: "Don’t speculate wildly about so things. The chairman wouldn’t be happy if he knew."
"Oh, thanks for the reminder, Brother Zhao."
