After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 299 - 300: The Best Gift

Won’t leave without seeing each other?

Leng Zimo gently tapped the steering wheel with his finger.

No wonder she had specifically mentioned "Won’t leave without seeing each other" during the phone call earlier; she was actually "signaling" to him.

He understood her temperament quite well, always eager to worry about others. She must be blaming herself for what happened tonight, not wanting to hurt Jiao Yang nor him, which was why she was struggling.

Turning his head, he noticed Luo Xiaoqian’s somewhat anxious gaze and felt a surge of pity.

"I’m not mad at you."

"That’s good to hear."

Luo Xiaoqian’s face immediately blossomed with radiant beauty.

"Are you still hungry, or would you like to eat something else?" Leng Zimo asked considerately.

"No need, my stomach’s filled with ice cream." Luo Xiaoqian turned to look at him, "You seemed to be in pain while eating ice cream just now, are you okay?"

"It was just a bit too sweet." Leng Zimo returned a comforting smile and steered the car off the express lane.

On the way back to World City, he once again stopped the car outside the building, "You’ll probably be busy with work starting tomorrow, so get some sleep early tonight."

Luo Xiaoqian sat in the passenger seat without moving and took out the beautifully wrapped CD from her bag. Looking at the somewhat flattened decorative flower on the packaging, she frowned and carefully straightened it with her finger before handing it to him with both hands, "Zimo, this is for you."

Leng Zimo turned his face to look at the beautifully wrapped gift in her hands, slightly surprised.

"I wanted to give you a surprise, so I kept it in my bag. I didn’t dare take it out earlier because he was there, so it got a bit wrinkled. Don’t mind that!" Luo Xiaoqian explained somewhat embarrassedly.

He raised his hand and took the CD from her.

Seeing that he seemed to want to open it, she quickly reached out to hold his hand, "Could you... open it later?"

She had written some words for him on it and would feel embarrassed if he read them in front of her.

Leng Zimo, looking at her blushing face, nodded gently.

"Okay." He placed the CD aside and naturally held her hand again, "I was too busy today to prepare a gift for you..."

"Having you with me is the best gift already." Luo Xiaoqian said, smiling as she gazed at his face.

Under the light, her small face was both adorable and tempting.

"I watched the live stream." His palm tightened slightly, pulling her toward him, as Leng Zimo lifted his hand to pinch her chin, looking deep into her eyes with his dark pupils, "The person you spoke about, was it me?"

Luo Xiaoqian was entirely taken aback.

He had actually watched the entire live stream?!

With his gaze unsettling her heart and causing a chaos within, Luo Xiaoqian simply lowered her eyelids, not daring to meet his gaze, knowing full well he was referring to the person she spoke of at the press conference. She deliberately played dumb, "Which person?"

"Meeting you is my fortune."

Leng Zimo murmured softly, and then naturally extended his arm, turning to embrace her in his arms. Leng Zimo’s large hand tenderly stroked her smooth hair.

Her body always had a pleasant fragrance, which didn’t seem to come from shampoo.

Inhaling her scent, Leng Zimo’s arms unconsciously tightened.

If only she could stay tonight.

He thought to himself but diligently controlled his emotions to let her go.

"Go upstairs and give me a call."

His voice sounded hoarse and intense.

Having been together for so long, Luo Xiaoqian could also discern that he was now struggling to restrain himself.

"Okay!" With a gentle reply, she cautiously opened the car door, "I’m... heading up."
