After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 1037 - 1041: You Dare

"Silly, don’t look at me with that face of utter despair, it’s all fake. In fact, I’m secretly delighted inside!" Luo Xiaoqian pinched his face, "Once this is over, I bet I’ll be able to win the Best Actress award."

He knew she was trying to comfort him, but thinking about the situation with the two people below, how could he muster a smile?

Xu Pei, that woman, knows him too well. If he doesn’t act convincingly, she definitely won’t believe it, not to mention there’s also Tang Ming.

"Alright!" Luo Xiaoqian raised her hand to smooth his brows, "Don’t frown, if you get wrinkles, I won’t want you anymore!"

He raised an eyebrow, "You dare?!"

"Of course not." She chuckled softly, pulling his arm to help him up from the ground, taking off that ring from his finger, "It’s getting late, I have to go. You shouldn’t come here for now. If anything comes up, call me. But shhh, if someone finds out, all our efforts will be in vain."

Carefully putting away the ring, Luo Xiaoqian turned her face towards him.

"I’m... leaving!"

"Okay."

He responded, but the hand wrapped in bandages tightened even more, the tension causing blood to ooze out.

Because of his force, his wound had reopened.

He had just remembered everything now, wishing to keep her by his side, to shower her with affection, yet he had to deliberately distance himself from her. How could Leng Zimo bear it?

Luo Xiaoqian turned her face, glanced at him, and naturally took a step towards him, and Leng Zimo’s kiss fervently landed on her.

The familiar scent of chocolate tobacco and his breath instantly enveloped her.

...

...

After everything ended, she nestled in his arms, breathing softly.

"I really have to go."

"You’re not allowed to leave." He spoke dominantly at her ear, "Stay a bit longer!"

It was quite a while before he finally let her go.

The two of them walked into the bathroom together, cleaned up, changed clothes, and Leng Zimo personally saw her downstairs.

"Be careful on the road, text me when you get home."

"What about you?"

"I want to stay a bit longer."

"Then I’ll go first."

"I’ll walk you to the elevator."

Knowing he was reluctant to part with her, Luo Xiaoqian didn’t refuse, allowing him to walk her to the elevator, helping her press the button.

A moment later, the elevator came up, she waved her hand at him and stepped inside, but just as she took a step, he pulled her back again, holding her in his arms for a full minute before letting go once more.

"Now, before I lose control, you better hurry and leave."

Luo Xiaoqian smiled, quickly kissed him on the face, turned around, and walked out of the elevator.

Leng Zimo stood before the elevator, watching the numbers descend floor by floor, until it stopped at the underground parking lot, then turned around and walked to the corridor window, watching a white Land Rover drive out and leave the complex.

Only when her car disappeared from sight did he return to the room.

His gaze slowly swept over this memory-filled room, and Leng Zimo carefully put away those memorabilia he took out before, sealed all the packaging boxes, and then began to revisit the entire room.

The kitchen where he cooked meals for her, in front of the big fridge where they shared their most intimate moments.

In the piano room, where she played the piano and he wrote songs for her on this piano.
