"They’re coming?" Ling Xuejiu exclaid in surprise, "How co I didn’t know?"
"Hehe!" Uncle Liu chuckled and said, "I told them that the young lady and Miss Li are personally cooking at noon, so they couldn’t wait to co over and try the cooking."
Upon hearing this, Leng Xuan shook his head secretly. Ling Ao and the others were probably coming mainly because of himself. With today’s incident, they would definitely want to co and comfort him to show their concern. But it was just as well to keep the true reason to himself; there was no need to say it out loud. Uncle Liu was certainly shrewd, having found a good excuse.
Before long, the room had been tidied up, and Leng Xuan entered to arrange his belongings. Just as he finished, his phone rang. It was actually Su Yurou’s call. He couldn’t help but smile tenderly. Answering the phone, Su Yurou’s light voice quickly ca through, "Brother Leng Xuan, are you okay?"
Leng Xuan laughed and said, "I’m fine."
"You’re lying to ," Su Yurou said, sounding a bit bitter.
"Where did I lie to you?" Leng Xuan asked, puzzled.
"Brother Leng Xuan obviously got hurt and was hospitalized. Why didn’t you tell Yurou? Don’t you see Yurou as your sister?" Su Yurou’s tone was very aggrieved.
Leng Xuan paused, then quickly figured that Su Zhenggang must have told Su Yurou about his hospitalization. He replied with a smile, "It wasn’t anything serious, and I didn’t want to worry you. If you’d known, you’d have flown over here right away. Besides, I’ve already been discharged, and there’s nothing seriously wrong with . I’m even stronger now than before."
"Really? Brother Leng Xuan, you’ve been discharged already?"
"Rest assured, I might deceive anyone else but not you," Leng Xuan affird, "By the way, Yurou, how are you doing over there? Are you settling in okay?"
Su Yurou said sowhat sadly, "It’s okay, I guess. Brother Leng Xuan, I miss you so much..."
Moved by her words, Leng Xuan’s mind wandered to the mory of sending Su Yurou to the airport—the secret kiss she gave him before leaving had made clear her feelings for him. With that thought, he said softly, "Yurou, Brother Leng Xuan misses you too." After he spoke those words, Leng Xuan quickly heard Su Yurou’s sobs on the phone, along with her tearful voice, "Brother Leng Xuan..." as if she had more to say but was too shy to continue.
"There, there, silly girl, stop crying," Leng Xuan comforted her, "When I have ti, I will go to the Capital City to visit you."
Su Yurou imdiately brightened up upon hearing this and laughed, saying, "Brother Leng Xuan, that’s a promise, no lies. Yurou will be waiting for you."
"Hmm." Leng Xuan gave a wry smile.
After chatting for a bit more about everyday matters, they hung up. Just then, Uncle Liu knocked on the door and said, "Mr. Leng, Mr. Ling and his wife have arrived."
"Alright, I’ll co out right now," Leng Xuan replied.
Entering the living room, Leng Xuan imdiately spotted Ling Ao and Ren Fanghua sitting on the couch, while Ling Xuejiu and Li ngjie were busy in the kitchen. As soon as Ling Ao saw Leng Xuan, he stood up to greet him, "Leng Xuan, co, sit down."
After taking a seat, Ling Ao didn’t waste words and went straight to the point, "Leng Xuan, I didn’t handle this incident properly. Please forgive , don’t take it to heart. I assure you, this kind of thing will never happen again."
