Chapter 221 I'm free tonight
Leng Yuexin raised a teasing smile, her eyes revealing a bit of coldness: "I may be a little sentimental. But when it comes to conscience, don't forget who caused the Mingyuan family's predicament? If it weren't for you behind the scenes, would the Mingyuan family fall into such a situation?"
Gao Xiaoya's face turned pale instantly, and she angrily retorted: "You! What right do you have to say that? Show me the evidence! Don't slander me here without any basis!"
Leng Yuexin just smiled gently, that smile was like the casual breeze in spring, gentle and mysterious. She did not respond directly, as if everything was implied.
Seeing that Leng Yuexin was unmoved, Gao Xiaoya was even more indignant. She turned her spearhead towards Zuo Yuan, her tone full of provocation: "Humph, it seems that you have become her new favorite? But I have to remind you, don't be fooled by her superficial gentleness, or you will become a discarded pawn on her chessboard one day."
Leng Yuexin couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard this, her eyes flashing with cunning and amusement: "In fact, these unnecessary speculations and explanations are redundant. But since it has been mentioned, I will clarify that the relationship between Zuo Yuan and I is just a tacit partnership based on work, nothing else."
Zuo Yuan looked at Leng Yuexin tenderly, his eyes full of understanding and support: "For me, it doesn't matter whether I become your 'new favorite' or any other role. What matters is that I am always here whenever you need me."
Leng Yuexin's heart felt inexplicably warm, and two red clouds quietly climbed up her cheeks.
Gao Xiaoya curled her lips in disdain when she saw this. She snorted coldly, "Humph, you are really good at pretending! Don't think I don't know that she already has a boyfriend. You are only bringing shame upon yourself by doing this."
Zuo Yuan's eyes never left Leng Yuexin. He responded to Gao Xiaoya in a calm but powerful tone: "So what? Everyone has the right to pursue their own happiness. As for you, you should just take care of yourself."
Gao Xiaoya was completely enraged by Zuo Yuan's calm and firm attitude. Her voice was so sharp that it almost pierced the air: "Are you mentally ill?"
Zuo Yuan slowly turned around and faced Gao Xiaoya. His eyes instantly became as sharp as an eagle, and his slightly narrowed eyes revealed unquestionable majesty.
The corner of his mouth curled up into a sneer, and he instantly changed from a gentle and well-behaved younger brother to the awe-inspiring boss behind the scenes: "I will handle my own affairs. You are not qualified to comment on it. If you dare to speak rudely again, I will make you regret it."
Gao Xiaoya was overwhelmed by this sudden aura, her expression changing like a color palette. She realized that she had indeed touched Zuo Yuan's bottom line.
In order to maintain her precarious dignity, Gao Xiaoya took a deep breath and deliberately raised her voice: "Humph, do you think I'm afraid of you? I won't take your threats seriously!"
However, having said that, her steps had already begun to retreat involuntarily, and she fled in disorderly steps from this atmosphere that made her feel depressed.
Leng Yuexin was standing aside, and took in Zuo Yuan's sharp eyes at that moment, and her heart couldn't help but ripples: This must be his truest side, right?
Wait until Gao Xiaoya's figure completely disappeared from sight.
Zuo Yuan quickly adjusted back to his warm smile, looked at Leng Yuexin, with a soft light flashing in his eyes: "Why, did I scare you just now?"
Leng Yuexin shook her head gently, with a complex and subtle smile on her lips: "No, it's just that your eyes change too quickly, and I can't keep up with the rhythm."
A sly look flashed across Zuo Yuan's face. He leaned forward curiously and asked softly, "Oh? So... do you really have a boyfriend?"
Leng Yuexin lowered her head slightly, her eyes wandering between the ground and Zuo Yuan, as if looking for the right words.
Finally, she mustered up her courage and nodded gently, her voice as thin as a gossamer: "Well, I... do have a boyfriend."
Zuo Yuan pretended to be surprised and widened his eyes, then couldn't help laughing: "I thought it was some earth-shattering secret, but it turns out to be just like this. However, seeing how conflicted you are, I am really a little surprised."
Leng Yuexin was stunned by his joke, and then she laughed, but a ripple inexplicably arose in her heart.
She suddenly realized that in this copy, she often felt confused and uneasy, and even her IQ and reaction were greatly affected.
Zuo Yuan reached out his hand lovingly and gently rubbed Leng Yuexin's head: "Don't think too much, everyone has their own secrets and choices. Let's go, don't let these little episodes affect our mood."
Leng Yuexin nodded, and she followed Zuo Yuan's pace. The two walked side by side, as if all the unhappiness had drifted away with the wind.
Soon after.
Under Leng Yuexin's arrangement, Jin Yuchuan and Weini successfully stepped into the Gao Group and started a new chapter in their careers.
At the same time, Leng Yuexin also welcomed her time of freedom and finally bid farewell to her days as Zuo Yuan's personal bodyguard.
On a seemingly ordinary yet extraordinarily special evening, the afterglow of the setting sun lazily sprinkled on the windowsill. Leng Yuexin was immersed in her own little universe, enjoying this long-lost, pure tranquility and self-time.
The cup of coffee on the table was still steaming, which complemented the relaxed look on her face.
Suddenly, the sound of a cell phone ringing broke the silence, bringing Wenjie's familiar yet slightly mysterious voice: "Are you free tonight?"
Leng Yuexin was slightly startled, then the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously, and she responded briskly: "Well, I happen to be free tonight, what's the matter?"
On the other end of the phone, Wenjie's voice seemed to carry a barely perceptible smile: "That's great, then you should go home early tonight and have dinner together."
Although there were small ripples of curiosity in her heart, Leng Yuexin still readily agreed: "Okay, no problem!"
After a busy day of work, Leng Yuexin returned to the Wen family with a hint of fatigue and a hint of inexplicable confusion.
As soon as she pushed open the door to the hall, a subtle atmosphere quietly filled the air, making her nerves unconsciously tense.
Wenjie came over with a cheerful face, his smile hiding a bit of mystery: "Xue'er, you're back! Come on, let me introduce you."
As he spoke, he naturally took Leng Yuexin's hand and led her to the sofa area, where several guests with elegant clothes and outstanding temperament were sitting.
Wenjie began to introduce them one by one, his voice full of enthusiasm: "This is Mr. Lu from the Lu Group, and next to him is the beautiful and generous Mrs. Lu."
