Chapter 325 - 326: Gifts and Angels
Listening to his voice coming from the speakers, Luo Xiaoqian turned her face to see Leng Zimo singing beside her, feeling that everything was suddenly like a dream.
Years ago, she had fantasized about singing a duet with him. Although this wasn’t on stage, it still felt as blissful as a dream.
"Xiao Qian, it’s your turn!"
It wasn’t until Yu Tong gently nudged her elbow that Luo Xiaoqian snapped back to reality, hastily joining in the singing.
Initially, her singing was poor due to her fluster, but by the latter part of the song, she was completely immersed.
"Turns out the person who often appears in my dreams,
Is that same vague figure in my dreams,
We have a tacit understanding
..."
This song matched both their moods so well; the two of them sang, locking eyes, unwittingly forgetting where they were.
Everyone around them was also listening intently.
The song ended.
Qin Lan led the way, whistling.
"Hug, hug!"
Only then did everyone come back to their senses and join in the chanting.
Luo Xiaoqian regained her composure, her face as red as a burning flame.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
But Leng Zimo beside her extended his arm and boldly pulled her into his embrace.
"Relax, they’re just joking."
He whispered comfortingly in her ear.
No sooner had he said that than he released her, taking a wine glass from the table, "Everyone has worked hard these days, let me propose a toast on behalf of Emperor View to all of you!"
Everyone busied themselves with raising their glasses, and no one noticed Luo Xiaoqian’s unnatural expression.
After playing for a while longer, Huangfu Ruo suggested it was time to leave, and everyone started to pack up their things and get ready to leave.
Qin Lan stood up, hugging Huangfu Ruo, "We’ll go first. Let the big President of Emperor View foot the bill!"
"Sure!" everyone laughed and agreed.
Everyone usually knew Leng Zimo for his strict and demanding work, but seeing him so easy-going when it came to playing, they let loose as well.
As everyone was leaving, Luo Xiaoqian helped Xu Xia up, and Yu Tong rushed over to support Xu Xia’s arm, "I’ll take her home. You take care of President Leng. He’s been drinking; don’t let him drive!"
"Okay!" Luo Xiaoqian couldn’t say much else and gave Yu Tong Xu Xia’s address.
The duty manager had already rushed over, insisting on not letting Leng Zimo pay the bill, respectfully escorting the two downstairs and personally hailing a taxi for them.
Back at World City, climbing upstairs, Leng Zimo kept silent, occasionally glancing at Luo Xiaoqian, who was blushing and didn’t dare to look at him; the corners of his lips kept turning upwards.
After entering the door and changing out of her slippers, he had already pulled her into a horizontal embrace, carried her straight upstairs, and went directly to the rooftop railing before setting her down.
Enveloping her from behind, he bent slightly and rested his chin lightly on her shoulder.
"Do you know what I want to do right now?"
Luo Xiaoqian honestly shook her head.
"I want to sing that song with you again!" he hummed gently in her ear, "Singing your song on the rooftop, in the rooftop momentos with the one I love... Embrace this moment, where every minute and second comes to a halt..."
Turning her to face him, he slowly pulled her into his arms, his arms tightening around her bit by bit.
"Little Fool, these past days I’ve been feeling so fortunate, thankful for your naivety, thankful for Qin Lan’s broken promises. Otherwise, I think I might truly have missed out on the greatest gift heaven has given me!"
"You’re the fool!"
Embracing him back, that’s what she said.
If she was a gift sent to him by heaven, then he was the angel sent by heaven to save her.
