In the evening, William hurried to Tao Zhai. When he saw Zhi Xing, he happily rushed over to give her a bear hug, but was stopped by Leng Yiran. William stared and said, "Leng, don't bully others too much."
!”
Leng Yiran's light eyes swept over him, not seeming to take him seriously at all. Zhixing picked up William's collar in a funny way, "Xiaowei, tell me, how many girls have you picked up recently?"
Upon hearing this, William was happy. He had already put aside Leng Yiran's disrespect and said quickly, "Girl, it's a shame that you didn't see my majesty!"
Leng Yiran raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "Zhixing, I have something to do and I need to go out."
"Oh." Zhixing didn't even raise his head, just waved his hand.
When he heard the car driving away outside, William's previously frivolous expression changed, and he looked at her seriously, "Hey, girl, why are you coming back?"
Looking at him, Zhi Xing laughed. She knew that she couldn't hide anything from this best friend.
She lay lazily on the sofa, her two beautiful legs draped over him, and her white feet swayed, "Hey, do you know that feeling? You have been alone since you were a child, and suddenly, there are many people around you.
For those who care about you, you will no longer be alone, and you will no longer use excuses of one kind or another to make yourself look less pitiful... However, you will worry that these are not real, just illusions. Looking back, you can
Discover that you are still alone."
William listened silently and looked into the loneliness in her eyes. She had always been tasting it alone.
He ruffled her fluffy hair and looked softly, "Girl, you have been shrinking into the turtle shell for too long. If you don't try it, how will you know that those things don't belong to you?"
Zhi Xing raised his lips and smiled, lowered his eyes, and glanced at him with a somewhat anxious look, "Xiao Wei, I have always been worried that a guy like you with a penis and a long head will not grow up safely."
"Hey, what you say is too insulting to my intelligence, isn't it?"
"Haha, if your IQ is as high as your sperm count, then there will be no problem."
"Tao Zhi Xing!!"
Seeing William's angry look, Zhixing held back his laughter and stretched out his hand to pinch his cheek, "Okay, okay, be good~"
"Ah -" William screamed in pain and covered his face that was pinched by her, "It's going to hurt!!"
Zhi Xing's eyes lit up, and he suddenly realized that it was so satisfying to ravage other people's faces! No wonder Yan Shengjie always liked to bully her like this!
For a moment, she seemed to have discovered a new world, and she rushed towards William with a grin, "Handsome boy, don't hide..."
"don't want--"
In the villa, William's scream of humiliation rang out.
At eight o'clock, Leng Yiran showed up at his and Cui Yan's new home on time. When he opened the door, the smell of rice filled his nostrils. Cui Yan was wearing an apron and walking out of the kitchen with soup. When he saw him, he immediately smiled and said
, "That's right, you're back, wash your hands and get ready to eat."
Leng Yiran came over quietly. The four dishes and one soup on the table were all home-cooked dishes, but she cooked them in a delicious and delicious way. It was obvious that she was very attentive.
"Why are you still standing there? Sit down, I'll get the chopsticks." Cui Yan was like a butterfly, happily moving back and forth.
Catching a glimpse of her smile, Leng Yiran frowned, "Yanyan, I..."
"In the same way," she stood in the kitchen, stiffening her body and turning her back to him, "Don't say anything and just finish the meal with me, okay?"
The frowned eyebrows slowly opened, and after a while, he nodded, "Yeah."
Turning around, Cui Yan had a happy smile on her cheeks and walked out with the rice, "My mother-in-law said that you are not used to Western food, so she specifically told me to cook something you like to eat at night. Oh, by the way, this was after you left.
During this period, I went to learn how to make it from my mother-in-law. Let’s try it and see if you have learned the essence of it.”
Leng Yiran picked up the chopsticks, took a mouthful of food, put it into his mouth, and chewed carefully. Across from him, Cui Yan stared at him without blinking, until he said, "It's delicious."
He let go of his nervousness and breathed a sigh of relief, "That's great, I was afraid you wouldn't like it."
Leng Yiran didn't speak and ate silently. Cui Yan thoughtfully carried the vegetables for him, but he didn't take a bite.
Finally, he put down his chopsticks, picked up a napkin, and wiped the corners of his mouth gracefully. Then he raised his eyes and said, "Now, we can talk."
Cui Yan's expression froze, her face suddenly turned pale, and her lips trembled uncontrollably. She stood up quickly, "I remembered, I still have food to cook...I...I'll go and cook it now"
You do it..." Because she got up too hard, she knocked over the chair. She quickly turned around to hold the chair, and when she got up, her head hit the corner of the table again, making a "thud" sound.
Leng Yiran immediately went around to her side and helped her up, "How are you?"
Covering her forehead, her body kept trembling, "I...I still have food to cook. Sit here and wait...it will be ready soon..."
"No need." Leng Yiran stopped her, put his hands on her shoulders, and forced her to look squarely at him, "What I want to say is very simple. I want..."
Cui Yan quickly covered her ears, "I won't listen! I don't want to hear it! Please, don't tell me, okay? Just let me finish this sweet dream and never wake up!"
Leng Yiran pulled her hand down and stared at her, his eyes extremely firm, "I have found the woman I love, and I will be with her forever! However, my mother doesn't like her, and the daughter-in-law she likes
, it is you, for her, that I am engaged to you. I am sorry, if you want to terminate the engagement, I have no objection, no matter what kind of request you make, I will try my best to satisfy you."
Cui Yan's eyes widened, confused and helpless, "Why do you have to tell me? You can... just like before, hide it from me... lie to me... why do you have to tell me..."
"Because I don't want her to be angry."
She trembled and murmured again, "I don't want her to be angry... I don't want her to be angry... Can you hurt me without reservation like this?"
"I'm sorry. You can ask me to make up for it in any way you want me to." His tone was somewhat businesslike.
Cui Yan shook his head, tears rolling down his cheeks, "I just want you to come back to me and marry me. I don't want anything else..."
Leng Yiran frowned, "If you can accept her existence, I will marry you."
For the sake of his mother, he will do what she wants and give her an obedient daughter-in-law.
"I..." Cui Yan bit her lip, tears falling even more fiercely.
"You don't have to force yourself. Even if you want to break off the engagement, you can still put all the blame on me."
"No!" She hurriedly raised her head and grabbed his hand, "I don't want to break off the engagement!"
Leng Yiran pursed his lips and asked cautiously, "Have you thought about it carefully? All I can give you is the title of Mrs. Leng."
