After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 406 - 409: A Love with No Flaws to Exploit [2]

Xu Pei had no idea about the experiences Luo Xiaoqian and Leng Zimo had been through together.

After the incident in Sichuan, the trust between Luo Xiaoqian and Leng Zimo had already surpassed that of a typical couple.

Moreover, the innocent Luo Xiaoqian was only worried about whether Xu Pei was hurt, without even considering any negative possibilities.

Xu Pei was speechless and could only helplessly allow herself to be assisted out, pretending to be uncomfortable all the way back to the private room.

Seeing the three of them return together, everyone looked over with curiosity.

Luo Xiaoqian helped Xu Pei to the sofa, "Dr. Shen, come quickly, check on Sister Xu Pei, she just slipped in the restroom and might have twisted her foot."

Shen Yizhou didn’t dare to neglect his duty and carefully examined Xu Pei’s right ankle.

"Does it hurt here?... How about here..."

Xu Pei just shook her head, "It doesn’t hurt anymore, it was just really painful when I fell, I couldn’t stand up, but I’m fine now."

"The bones don’t seem to be misaligned, rest for tonight and see, if there is no swelling or pain by morning, there shouldn’t be any problems!" Shen Yizhou glanced at her high heels, "In the future, you really should be careful with these shoes. You women always prefer beauty over safety, always wearing high heels, but the bones can become deformed!"

"What do you know, the right to pursue beauty belongs to everyone!" Tong Ya immediately retorted.

"Let’s see how you keep up your beauty when your bones are deformed!" Shen Yizhou was not to be outdone.

Knowing this pair was about to start their usual banter, the others tactfully walked away.

Leng Zirui flicked through a set of finger cards rapidly, his gaze sweeping over Xu Pei’s suit and shoes before tossing the cards onto the table.

Next to him, Huangfu Ao glanced at his watch.

"It’s getting late, Zirui, we should leave."

This time, coming to Beijing was not just to attend the party, but also because he and Leng Zirui’s troop had a collaborative field exercise, Huangfu Ao needed to discuss some details with Leng Zirui.

Everyone else also expressed their readiness to head home, except for the eternally idle Huangfu Ruo, as they were all busy people with their own jobs and naturally would not indulge in excessive entertainment.

"So we’re all heading to our own homes, finding our own mothers?" Leng Zimo joked as he walked over to the sofa, "Sister Xu Pei stays at the lakeside villa, right? It’s on the way, so Huangfu Bro and I will give you a lift!"

"Okay," Xu Pei stood up.

"I’ll help you!" Seeing this, Luo Xiaoqian immediately stepped forward to support her arm, and Xu Xia also came over to help on the other side.

Together, they all left the room while Leng Zimo spoke with the duty manager about settling the bill, and Leng Zirui purposefully lagged a few steps behind.

"Brother, isn’t it about time for the two of you to go public?"

"I haven’t decided yet," Leng Zimo said seriously.

"I know what you’re worried about, but these are things she’ll have to face someday, and..." Leng Zirui said with a mischievous smile, "women like to feel secure, if you keep this up, aren’t you afraid she’ll start having other thoughts?"

Leng Zimo nodded, "I’ll think it over carefully."

Those who didn’t understand Leng Zirui might think he’s a frivolous playboy who never took anything seriously, but Leng Zimo knew his brother best; his meticulous mind was in no way inferior to his.

"Xiao Qian is a great girl, I think the old man will like her," Leng Zirui said as he raised his hand to his arm, speaking with a feigned mature air, "Mo, the solemn duty of carrying on the Leng Family legacy is now yours to bear!"
