Even if Leng Lingxiao hadn’t given her a call an hour ago, Tang i could have guessed more or less.
"Was it that bad boy Leng Lingxiao... bullying you?" Tang i asked, raising an eyebrow.
Actually, she knew the situation as clear as a mirror.
"Mhm, yes, Grandma, you have no idea... he’s so annoying. I’m already tired from work every day, and he insists on dragging out for early exercises, around the whole estate! And at al tis he always..."
Cheng Shi: "?"
What’s up with the young lady, talking in opposites?
Mr. Leng doesn’t seem that way, does he?
Tang Xiaowan rattled off her complaints without a blush or skipping a beat, turning Leng Lingxiao’s good traits into faults.
As she went on, Tang i pulled her into the house.
Granny Yu couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing Tang Xiaowan’s grievances. Turns out the so-called ’bullying’ was actually sweet nothings between two young people.
Hence, she held back her laughter and went to the kitchen, preparing to slice so tasty fruit.
"Tangtang, you’re not that young anymore, you should be able to tell right from wrong," Tang i comforted gently, "Leng Lingxiao is not that kind of... unreasonable person; he’s trying to help you, wanting you to beco stronger."
Tang Xiaowan pouted and said with a touch of defiance: "But he, he’s a man, he..."
"If not a man... then a woman?"
"Anyway, anyway, it’s just—he’s bullying , you can’t take his side, you have to go to Chicheng with , you need to back up."
"Grandma can’t go, I still have things to do."
"What things? What’s more important than your precious granddaughter?"
"It’s a secret, can’t say yet."
No sooner had Tang i’s words fallen, the doorbell rang; the butler Li Fugui walked straight to open the door.
It was Wang Jinghui, carrying a wooden tray, looking spirited, especially when he saw Tang Xiaowan.
This progress wouldn’t be as swift without Tang i playing Cupid.
"Oh, our Little Tangtang is back!"
Wang Jinghui walked into the house with a smile, but upon seeing Tang Xiaowan’s red eyes, he imdiately asked with concern, "Tangtang, why the tears? It couldn’t be that scoundrel Leng Lingxiao bullying you, could it?"
Tang Xiaowan: "..."
Tang i: Well, here’s a chance to continue the complaint, best with snot and tears.
Tang Xiaowan looked at Wang Jinghui with a beaming smile, quickly shaking her head and responding, "No, no, it’s not Grandpa, I just missed Grandma too much."
Tang i: Hmm? Why stop the complaints? You were quite talkative just now, weren’t you? Turning black into white!
"Indeed, it’s been such a long ti since we’ve seen each other!" Wang Jinghui set down the tray, nodding understandingly, "This ti don’t leave, just stay. We’ve just started a small vegetable garden. You can stay and help out. We’ll have fresh veggies soon!"
Upon hearing that, Tang Xiaowan’s eyes lit up: "Wow, a vegetable garden? There must be spinach, right?"
"Naturally, this season..."
At that mont, Granny Yu ca out with two plates of fruit. Looking at Tang Xiaowan and Wang Jinghui, she couldn’t help but silently exclaim: These two really are alike, even their fondness for gardening is the sa!
Thinking this, she turned her gaze toward Tang i, sitting quietly on the sofa.
If the mistress would just accept the proposal!
Then the young miss would have a grandfather, followed by a father, a mother—a complete family, and of course, Mr. Leng, how wonderful!
"Alright, alright, let’s sit down before we continue," Tang i called out, breaking up the conversation.
Wang Jinghui promptly agreed, nodding, "That’s right, co, Tangtang, try the Black Plum Cake Grandpa just made, and give it a rating."
Hearing this, Tang Xiaowan imdiately picked up a piece with a smile and sat next to Tang i.
"Wow, ho-made, that’s amazing!"
As a matchmaker, she was highly qualified, not only giving Wang Jinghui advice behind the scenes but also cooperating when needed.
The Black Plum Cake was a favored treat of Tang i’s.
Tang Xiaowan wasn’t particularly fond of it but still ate it with relish.
And so, the three of them sat in the living room, savoring the Black Plum Cake, eating fruit, drinking tea, as a warm atmosphere enveloped the air.
Until, half an hour later, the doorbell rang again.
Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong...
Tang Xiaowan suddenly had a bad feeling, or rather, felt a bit guilty.
Oh no, could it be Huahua who’s co chasing after her?
Totally forgot, he has a helicopter, it’s easy for him to co to Huang City, and it’s about ti.
Shouldn’t have blackmouthed him!
Thus, Tang Xiaowan quickly got up and darted toward the entrance hall as fast as a rabbit, beating Li Fugui to the door.
"I’ll do it; you go ahead with your work, Old Li. I’ll answer the door."
Li Fugui nodded: "Yes, Miss."
