Leng Jingcheng opened the desk drawer, took out an old photo, looked at it carefully, and after a long time, he handed the photo to Jiang Ruoxi.
"Dad, who is this?" Jiang Ruoxi looked at the young woman in the photo and raised her head to ask Leng Jingcheng. The eyebrows of the woman in the photo were somewhat similar to Leng Yan's.
"She is Yan's biological mother." Leng Jingcheng looked out the window, as if recalling the distant past, "I made a mistake back then, which led to Yan. I know that he has been blaming me, blaming me for not being able to
Marry her, but still want her, but ignore her, even if she gave birth to a child, even if she died of illness, I have never visited her and the child, and I cannot take Yan back to the Leng family.
I had no choice but to let him enter the orphanage. I can understand that he hates me and blames me."
It turns out that more than twenty years have passed since the incident, but I still can't let it go.
Jiang Ruoxi looked at the photo in her hand, then looked up at Leng Jingcheng, "Dad."
Leng Jingcheng turned back with helplessness on his face, and sighed deeply, "If it weren't for your mother-in-law who only gave birth to a daughter, she would not have agreed to my taking Yan back from the orphanage."
"Dad, you actually care about them, right?" Jiang Ruoxi looked at him and handed the photo back to him.
Leng Jingcheng did not answer, but just looked at the photo.
Jiang Ruoxi knows that some feelings are innate, "Dad, is this why you agreed to live in an apartment with Yan? You want to follow his wishes."
Leng Jingcheng nodded, "Ruoxi, Dad is telling you this just to let you know that Yan is not as cold as he seems on the surface. To his father, he is like a fragile child. He has taken over the company for so long.
Since then, although his abilities and methods in the mall have impressed people, it is inevitable that he will socialize outside. However, Dad hopes that you can understand and visit the company occasionally when you are free."
He didn't want to force Leng Yan, but he never got what he wanted from beginning to end. He first sent him to an orphanage, and then sent him to the United States alone. He didn't come back to take over the company until he was eighteen years old. And now,
Leng Jingcheng asked him to marry Ruoxi unwillingly.
"Dad, I understand." Jiang Ruoxi nodded, "But Yan is always very busy at work, and I'm afraid that I will affect him."
She now understood the reason for the quarrel between him and her father-in-law in the study before dinner, and the reason for his sharp eyes at the dinner table.
He will definitely blame everything on her? Even so, in his eyes, she has never been what he wants, right?
"Ruoxi, Dad believes you can do it. Come back to the villa more often when you have time." Leng Jingcheng has great confidence in Ruoxi, but whether Leng Yan accepts this love or not depends on her.
"Well, Dad, I will work hard." Jiang Ruoxi nodded in agreement. No matter what, she is the daughter-in-law of the Leng family and Leng Yan's wife. This is an unchangeable fact. What she can do now is also her duty.
Isn't it?
Leng Jingcheng nodded, "Okay." There was a happy smile on his face.
"Dad, then I will go back to the room first."
"Yes." Leng Jingcheng had no objection. He watched Jiang Ruoxi walk out of the study and gently closed the study door.
"I hope I didn't see the wrong person, and I hope Ruoxi can do it." Leng Jingcheng looked at the photo, murmured to himself, and after a long time, he put the photo back in the drawer.
Jiang Ruoxi returned to the bedroom on the second floor, but did not see Leng Yan, so she sat on the sofa. In just one day, Ye Zilin and Leng Jingcheng told him so many things about Leng Yan, and she completely accepted them. However, she accepted
What to do next?
Just as she was deep in thought, Leng Yan stepped in, staring at her back with sharp and deep eyes.
Jiang Ruoxi's eyes fell in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and his figure was reflected in the transparent glass. When she turned her head, she saw him leaning against the door, looking at her intently. She stood up in a panic, raising the corners of her lips,
He showed a smile that wasn't really a smile, "You, I..."
Leng Yan raised his eyebrows, as if he wanted to hear what she had to say.
"Shall we stay here at night?" Jiang Ruoxi just asked for his opinion. If he disagreed, she would not have any objection, because she knew what she should do. She could not have any objection to his words.
I can agree.
"Did Dad say that? Or do you want to live here yourself?" Leng Yan's eyes stayed on her fair face, as if he wanted to see through her.
Jiang Ruoxi pursed her lips, "Tomorrow is the weekend, I think it's okay for us to stay here today. If you don't agree, we can go back now."
"Okay! We'll stay here tonight." Leng Yan agreed readily, which surprised Jiang Ruoxi.
"Really?" she asked again uncertainly.
Leng Yan walked towards her with elegant steps, leaned forward and leaned into her ear, "Don't you want to stay here tonight? Then we'll stay here."
His warm breath touched her white neck, and an itchy feeling spread throughout her body. Jiang Ruoxi took a step back and said, "Thank you!"
"Thank me for what? Huh? Thank me for agreeing to stay here together at night? Or something else?" Leng Yan's lips curled up slightly, and the smile on his face was so deep that it was hard to see through.
He didn't care. It didn't matter whether Jiang Ruoxi wanted to stay because of her own intention or Leng Jingcheng's.
"Uh, it's nothing. You, do you want a drink of water? I'll get you a glass of water." Jiang Ruoxi felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him, so she found an excuse to leave temporarily.
Leng Yan reached out and clasped her slender wrist, "What are you nervous about?" He looked at Jiang Ruoxi trying to run away in a hurry, and he actually smiled playfully.
"No way." Jiang Ruoxi felt like her words were trembling. How could he see the bottom of her heart so easily?
"You wanted us to stay together. Why are you so nervous now?" Leng Yan didn't let her leave him at all. With a little force of his big hand, she fell into his arms.
Jiang Ruoxi looked at the open door of the bedroom and pushed him nervously, "What do you want to do? Let me go!"
"Let you go like this?" Leng Yan lowered his eyebrows and looked at the person struggling in his arms, "If I let you go like this, wouldn't I let you down?"
"What are you talking about?" Jiang Ruoxi listened to his slightly sarcastic words. He always liked to misunderstand her, and her explanations sounded like useless excuses to him. After she finished speaking, she laughed it off.
Leng Yan's handsome eyes met her innocent eyes, "Jiang Ruoxi, don't forget, you are mine, don't make any plans about me, understand? If you dare to try, you can, I will let you
You know how serious the consequences will be!" He said coldly, and by the end of his words, he had already let go of his hand and pushed her away from him.
