"Ling Xiao, why are you just getting here?"
"Penalty drinks, penalty drinks, you must drink three cups yourself!"
"Exactly, co on, pour the wine."
Before Leng Lingxiao could respond, the two n who had just been pushing the red wine walked towards him, stepping in sync, each wearing matching outfits.
Obviously, they ca prepared.
"Mr. Leng, how are you!"
Both n said in unison.
Then, one of them said respectfully, "This wine is from Mr. Li Zishen, wishing you a rry ti at your bachelor party and a pleasant drinking experience!"
The man’s voice was neither loud nor soft, just loud enough for the surrounding classmates, who were ready to jeer, to hear.
Leng Lingxiao curved his lips into a smile, "Good, thank you."
He wished he could throw all the red wine out, preferably right in Li Zishen’s face. Did he look like soone who couldn’t afford his own wine?
Trying to disgust , dream on!
When everyone heard that the wine was sent by Li Zishen, they were extrely shocked and turned to look at the two blessing cards.
Turns out, they were close friends!
Indeed, a rich man’s friends are also rich; even if they can’t be there in person, their gifts make it.
Looks like we’re in for a night of hard drinking!
After the two n left, the scene beca lively again, so clamoring for penalty drinks, others suggesting a tasting of the vintage wine.
Leng Lingxiao never showed displeasure throughout.
Forget it, it’s your money being spent anyway, I might as well play the magnanimous host.
He gave a signal to the groomsn.
And so, soone with a microphone started to shout, "Co on, everyone, look here."
People at the scene turned their heads to watch.
"Since everyone is here, why don’t we all play a ga and have a good laugh?"
Applause erupted like waves crashing.
The red wine was taken to be used as a prize for the ga; whoever grabbed it could keep it, attracting even those in the private rooms, who although not participating, also clapped and cheered.
Zhao Renjie secretly sighed to himself: If Li Zishen found out, he would vomit blood.
It’s practically a giveaway!
The manager was so shocked he could only shake his head.
The entire Yelanxiang was imrsed in revelry, not dispersing until after one in the morning.
However, Leng Lingxiao didn’t leave.
Staggering, he made his way to the General Manager’s office, and after drinking so sobering tea, he began to grumble, every single sentence about Tang Xiaowan.
"She says I’m good-looking."
"Hmph, good-looking but not coming to see ."
"Little rascal, little rascal!"
"Don’t let catch you, not even calling ’brother’ will help."
Dart after dart was thrown by Leng Lingxiao, sticking all over the place.
Ti slipped away, minute by minute.
At three in the morning, under the influence of alcohol, Leng Lingxiao finally slumped over and fell asleep on the desk, but even in his sleep, he was still mumbling about Tang Xiaowan.
...
When he woke up, it was six in the morning.
His biological clock was set, regardless of how late he slept, he woke up on the dot.
The first thing he thought of was to check his phone for any missed calls from Tang Xiaowan, any sweet greetings she might have sent, or possibly so pictures.
"Little rascal, still not calling ."
"Fine, you’re tough, I will..."
Three knocks on the door interrupted his thoughts.
"Co in."
Upon permission, Zhao Renjie entered the room holding an A4 paper.
"Looks like the madam ca by."
A sentence instantly invigorated Leng Lingxiao.
"When?"
"There’s this on the door, see for yourself."
On the A4 paper was drawn a big gray wolf, with an exaggeratedly large paw, dressed in black casual wear and wearing big-fra sunglasses.
Although it was just a simple caricature, it vividly captured the smug look.
No need to guess who it depicted.
"Master, there’s a line of small print on the back too," Zhao Renjie said, suppressing a laugh, reminding softly.
"The beautiful little white rabbit was here!"
Leng Lingxiao felt ticklish inside after reading it.
He had long been firmly under the control of his little wife Wan, ever since the mont he t her, her every frown and smile had tugged at his heartstrings, and after getting the certificate, his feelings just skyrocketed, not wanting to be apart from her even for a mont.
She could be as sweet as a strawberry, as enchanting as a fairy, and as cute as a little rabbit.
"Little rascal, you ca and didn’t even say a word!"
"Maybe she didn’t want to disturb..."
"Go, get it frad." Leng Lingxiao handed the painting to Zhao Renjie, beaming with pride.
So what if this handso guy is the big bad wolf!
Being called that by his little wife was clearly praise, he thought to himself that he should get a bigger one made and hang it directly in the bedroom, with a little white rabbit added next to it.
"Yes, I’ll arrange it right away."
Zhao Renjie dared not delay, taking the painting and stepping away; he couldn’t be a third wheel here.
How could a single dog stand to listen to sweet nothings.
Indeed, no sooner had the office door closed than Leng Lingxiao already couldn’t contain his wildly racing heart and called his little wife.
"Little white rabbit, have you woken up?"
Yawning over and over, Tang Xiaowan said with a hint of helplessness, "What is it, looking for a chance to strike back at ?"
"Yeah, hurry into my arms!"
"Ewww!"
"Tangtang, how about I co over now to discuss the precautions for picking you up tomorrow? I’m not familiar with Nanfeng Mansion; it would be good to get to know the place."
This man really could tell so blatant lies.
You’re not familiar? You know exactly which turn to take to avoid the surveillance caras, and you’re not familiar?
You seed very familiar when you brought her to climb through windows!
"Tangtang, Tangtang, did you fall asleep?"
"You better not co, if Uncle Quan catches us again, grandma will scold for not following the rules."
"Isn’t Uncle Quan in Country Y?"
"He’s supposed to return today. Why do you think he went there, could it be up to no good?" Tang Xiaowan blinked her big eyes, curiously sitting up.
"It’s definitely not about Li Wanshan."
"Of course it’s not, definitely not. Oh right, I forgot to ask, how is Li Wanshan?"
Leng Lingxiao’s thin lips curled slightly.
It seed there truly wasn’t anyone following.
"Yesterday morning... around eight, he sent a ssage, saying sothing about a debt of gratitude that cannot be expressed in words, probably ans he’s out of trouble now."
Tang Xiaowan: "..."
"Why didn’t you ntion that when we talked on the phone?"
"You didn’t ask!"
He wouldn’t have brought up the Leng Family matters on his own, would he? That would be like leading issues straight to Li Zishen.
"How co it was resolved so quickly!"
Tang Xiaowan was sowhat puzzled.
Who could have secretly helped Li Wanshan?
Li Zihan? Impossible.
It surely couldn’t be Li Zishen?
"Who cares, it’s probably that the family had a change of heart and didn’t want to pursue it further. Anyway, what are your plans for today? Let your husband know so I can plan accordingly."
He quickly changed the subject, as he couldn’t let the Leng Family matters spoil the good mood between him and his little wife.
"Mom said tomorrow will be exhausting, we’ll be busy from early morning to late at night, so she told to rest well today, recharge, and not worry about anything."
"Just like what my mom said!"
"Really? Then you should rest well. You’re not still at Yelanxiang, are you?"
Leng Lingxiao raised an eyebrow, "Yeah."
Idiot, if not for waiting for you!
"You must’ve played like crazy last night. When I got there, I saw you throwing darts at a bottle of red wine. You had such force, as if you had a grudge against that wine, it was hilariously childish."
Robust laughter ca through the phone.
Leng Lingxiao: "..."
So she had already been there at that ti!
What’s wrong with hitting a few bottles of red wine?
If it weren’t for the rule that each person could only throw five tis, he would have loved to burst all those wine bottles.
"Everyone was wearing masks, and I even changed my clothes before going on stage; how did you know that person was ?" Leng Lingxiao couldn’t help but wonder.
It turned out he had disguised himself for nothing!
