A minute later, Tang Xiaowan finished replying to Cheng Shi’s ssage and called Leng Lingxiao.
Soon, a gentle voice ca through the phone, "You didn’t call when you woke up, and now you rember ? Do you not miss ?"
He of course knew his little wife kept him in her heart; she must have been busy with sothing and got held up.
Moreover, calling three tis a day wasn’t a strict requirent; he just didn’t want Tang Xiaowan to impulsively go to Jin City to avenge her mother, Ye Wanhua, and put herself in danger.
"Tangtang, speak up, what’s wrong?"
If sothing had gone wrong in Jin City, a phone call from him could settle it.
"Withdraw everyone," Tang Xiaowan moved a bit further from the staircase and leaned against the wall, a glint of tears shimring in her beautiful eyes.
Leng Lingxiao was montarily stunned.
What did she an? Was she not seeking revenge anymore?
Worried he misunderstood, he feigned calmness and chuckled, "Withdraw what?"
Silence fell on the other end of the phone again.
"What’s wrong, Tangtang? Speak up."
"Huahua, I know you sent people to Nanjiang Villa... to prevent from being at a disadvantage, right?" Tang Xiaowan took a deep breath and swiftly glanced at the staircase, "Withdraw everyone, I’m not going anymore. Yuan Min has done so many detestable things; soone else will deal with her. There’s no need for to act."
"Tangtang, is that really what you think, or are you just tricking ?"
Leng Lingxiao still wanted to confirm.
He suspected his little wife said this to keep him out of the situation intentionally.
"Huahua, I’ve thought it over. Wang Junchen definitely has his plans, and the ceasefire is only temporary. Moreover... our wedding is just a few days away. No matter how big other matters are... the wedding is the most important!"
Hearing this, Leng Lingxiao breathed a sigh of relief but still felt sothing was off.
Why had she suddenly changed her mind?
He turned his head and signaled Zhao Renjie, who was waiting for orders, and casually added, "Alright, I’ll arrange it in a bit."
"Just withdraw everyone."
"Don’t worry, understood. By the way, you haven’t answered my question yet. Do you not miss ?"
Tang Xiaowan smiled sweetly, "I do."
"Oh? Tell , what do you miss?"
"Your extraordinary presence, your sharp brows and starry eyes, your wise mind, and your firm... All imprinted on my aesthetic. Where do you think I miss? Stop teasing, you know the answers."
Her soft and sticky voice was a delight to listen to.
"Let’s video call after dinner?" Leng Lingxiao raised his foot and casually rested it on the solid wood coffee table.
"Why? Don’t you trust ?"
It wasn’t that he didn’t trust his little wife, but this decision was too out of the ordinary. He suspected she had other plans and wasn’t truly giving up on revenge.
Since you don’t want to say, I won’t ask.
The rcenaries hidden near Nanjiang Villa would withdraw but wouldn’t leave Jin City.
At this mont, perhaps only by holding her hand tightly and staying by her side would he feel at ease; otherwise, he would always feel unsettled.
"Nonsense, can’t I just miss you?"
"Oh, then let’s hang up for now, ha."
"Where are you going?"
Leng Lingxiao suddenly stood up.
"Going to have dinner!" Tang Xiaowan blinked her big eyes, "Didn’t you say you wanted to video chat?"
"Oh, eat slowly, no rush."
"You too."
"Alright, got it."
How could he possibly eat slowly? The food had been tasteless anyway. He hadn’t had a proper al since they separated yesterday.
There were fruits and snacks on the coffee table; he just dealt with them quickly.
The sky is vast, the earth is vast, but the wife is the greatest!
Whenever his "Little Wife" faced any mishap, he would definitely have the entire Leng Family buried with her.
Zhao Renjie was nothing compared to that!
At that mont, on the other side, Tang Xiaowan breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to the dining room.
Everyone was waiting for her to start the al.
The lunch was lavish, and the servants had already set out the food and necessary utensils.
Madam Leng, Yang Aihua, had not only arranged for nourishing soup, braised pork trotters, lamb ribs, but also homade dried fruits and vegetables, pastries, and chocolates.
Elderly affection was truly overflowing.
With a glance from Tang i, Li Fugui signaled the servants to exit the dining room with him.
"Go ahead and eat, Ah Hua and the others won’t be back."
Tang Xiaowan had already figured that Ye Wanhua and Wang Junchen wouldn’t return for lunch, since they surely had visitors from afar and would be hosting a al.
She picked up her soup bowl and stirred gently with a spoon, "Grandma, why didn’t I see you this morning?"
"In the yoga room."
"Exercising again?"
"I have to stay active at my age."
"Grandma, please don’t think about dieting, you’re thin enough," Tang Xiaowan smiled and set down her soup bowl, picking up so boneless pork trotter at for Tang i, "Grandpa likes the plumper type, too skinny doesn’t look good."
Wang Jinhui: "..."
He ant not too skinny, without so fat it wouldn’t work, relying solely on veggies could lead to malnutrition.
How could she take it out of context?
Silly child, Grandma might get the wrong idea!
"Oh? Am I too thin?" Tang i picked up so pork trotter at, nibbled a small bite, her face emotionless, showing neither happiness nor anger.
"Yes, Grandpa just upstairs..."
Wang Jinhui coughed lightly twice and quickly served Tang i so greens, "Try these, they look so fresh, and these too, picked early morning from the garden."
"Mmm, they are quite fresh, not bad."
She accepted everything served on her plate and readily ate it all.
"Grandma, try the soup, it slls so good, different from yesterday’s, Aunt Yang’s soup really is exceptional, must have started early in the morning..."
Before Tang Xiaowan could finish, she suddenly thumped onto the dining table.
It was so abrupt, it startled Wang Jinhui.
"Tangtang, Tangtang?"
"Stop shouting, let her sleep properly."
Seeing Tang i so composed, as if she had expected this, Wang Jinhui squinted his eyes, his firm lips twitching slightly.
"Still standing there for what? Carry her upstairs."
"Did you put sothing in this soup?"
Tang i didn’t respond and slowly stood up.
"You said yesterday dicine is a poison in excess, Tangtang hasn’t done anything, she’s just been staying quietly at ho, not gone to Jin City, why make such a fuss?"
"Can you carry her? If not, I’ll call Uncle Quan." Tang i raised an eyebrow, her words loaded with aning.
It’s about a man’s pride now!
Wang Jinhui lifted his chin slightly, "No need."
It’s just a trick, right?
My beloved granddaughter handled by an outsider? What a joke! Impossible!
Do you really think my manliness is just for show?
So, he gently lifted Tang Xiaowan and glanced at Tang i with a tinge of jealousy again, "She hasn’t had much to eat, and now sleeping, who knows till when, won’t her stomach hurt from hunger? At least wait until she had her pork trotter and lamb ribs..."
"Stop rambling and just take her up."
With that, Tang i decisively left the dining room, a flicker of sharpness flashing in her deep eyes.
