After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 1156 - 1160: I’m Sorry, Sister-in-law

Tang Ming escaped to the deep mountains, while Seo Fei was frantically searching for Leng Zimo, who had already arrived at World City, in the room he and Luo Xiaoqian once lived in.

He opened the door, went upstairs, and directly pulled open the small drawer on the nightstand, retrieving the small box Luo Xiaoqian used to store things.

Inside the box, the silver ring custom-made by Luo Xiaoqian personally for him shimmered with a gentle glow.

Raising his hand, Leng Zimo carefully wiped the silver ring and cautiously placed it back onto the middle finger of his left hand.

Looking at the ring on his finger under the light, he smiled and stood up, beginning to tidy up the room.

From the bedroom to the practice room, from upstairs to downstairs... he put back the photos, albums, and everything exactly as it was when he and Luo Xiaoqian lived here.

Though he only had one hand, it was inevitably difficult to do all this, yet he did it very meticulously.

Five years ago, when Luo Xiaoqian tidied up everything, she cried as she organized.

Today, five years later, as he tidied up everything again, his heart ached, but there was more joy.

As dawn approached, Leng Zimo also placed Luo Xiaoqian’s father’s photo from the box onto the wooden shelf on the TV wall.

Glancing around the living room, which was no different from five years ago, Leng Zimo slightly raised the corner of his lips.

"Xiao Qian, Mo Mo, it’s time to go home!"

Turning around, he strode out the door, went downstairs, and got back into his car, heading towards the Leng Family.

Just as Leng Zimo parked his car at the Leng Family’s gate, a muddy SUV followed closely and stopped beside his car.

He turned his face and saw Leng Zirui jump out of the car, smiling as he stopped in his tracks.

"Brother!" Leng Zirui approached him, his face usually cheerful now showing an apologetic expression, "I’m sorry."

Looking at the solemn expression on his face, Leng Zimo’s smile also faded, replaced by a deep emotion, "You didn’t catch him?!"

Behind the two brothers, Leng Lin quietly opened the door, "Come in and talk!"

Turning around, the two brothers followed him upstairs.

Just reaching the second floor, Luo Xiaoqian walked out of the bedroom, and upon seeing Leng Zimo, she immediately smiled and greeted him.

"Zimo, you..."

Leng Zimo lifted his left hand, his fingers gently caressing her face, then pulled her into his arms.

Leng Lin and Leng Zirui, father and son, looked at him, feeling helpless.

"Xiao Qian, come along too!"

Leng Lin turned around and walked into the study, Leng Zirui stepped inside, and Leng Zimo released Luo Xiaoqian, holding her hand as they walked into the study, feeling the slight chill between their fingers. Luo Xiaoqian instinctively looked at his hand, seeing the silver ring shining on the middle finger of his left hand.

"How’s the situation?!" Leng Lin asked softly.

"We discovered an entrance to an underground river nearby, found some dried bloodstains, which should be left by Tang Ming." Leng Zirui frowned, "The underground river connects to the Chaobai River, and at this time, he should already be in the mountains. I have notified Hebei to assist in our operations, but the mountainous area is vast and complex; I’m afraid this time we won’t catch him."

Saying this, he looked apologetically at Luo Xiaoqian, "Sister-in-law, I’m sorry."

"Zirui." Luo Xiaoqian smiled, "Don’t make this seem so serious, this isn’t your fault."

"It is indeed my fault." Leng Zirui pursed his lips, "If I had just shot and killed him at that time, he wouldn’t have been able to escape!"
