After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 407 - 410: A Love with No Flaws to Exploit [3]

Leng Zimo raised an eyebrow, "Have you started liking men?"

"I like you, is that okay?" Leng Zirui chuckled, wrapping an arm around his older brother’s shoulders as they walked out of the private room.

Everyone went downstairs together and said their goodbyes.

Since he had drunk alcohol, Leng Zimo didn’t drive but instead called Xiao Ding. Together they escorted Xu Xia home before heading back to World City.

...

...

Inside the car.

The driver carefully turned onto the Beijing Suburb Highway.

"Xu Pei, do you really want to stay?" Huangfu Ao asked.

Back then, when Leng Zimo resolutely went abroad, Xu Pei also went to Europe to study, and later to the United States. After so many years abroad, she suddenly came back and now she is not leaving – naturally, Huangfu Ao was curious.

"When I was young, I always wanted to leave this place, the farther the better. Now, I’m always worried about this place, so I came back!" Xu Pei said with a smile.

Huangfu Ao nodded slightly, "That’s true. No matter what, this is our place. Our roots are here. It’s like a kite; no matter how far it flies, it will always be pulled back by its string."

Sitting in the front seat, Leng Zirui joined in with a laugh, "You came back just in time. Wait until I hand out big red envelopes in a few days!"

"What for?" Xu Pei asked with a light laugh, "Are you getting married?"

"Not me, it’s Leng Zimo. I still want to be a free man!" Leng Zirui said.

Xu Pei shrugged, "Talking about marriage now seems a bit premature, doesn’t it? Zimo is so picky. Although Xiao Qian is nice, I still worry that she might get hurt in the future."

"You all think my brother is an iceberg, but let me tell you, beneath his icy exterior is actually a volcano that’s never erupted," Leng Zirui said with a wicked smile. "This time, I can tell that this ice and fire volcano is truly going to set everything ablaze!"

"Exactly!" Huangfu Ao nodded earnestly, "I agree with that. This time, Zimo is definitely serious."

Last time, in Zhengding, he had witnessed everything with his own eyes.

They had been friends since childhood; Huangfu Ao understood Leng Zimo all too well.

The title of Emperor Leng was no empty praise. Apart from his deceased mother, he had never been so considerate, gentle, and indulgent toward any woman, nor had he ever been so insanely cold and twisted for anyone else.

"If others said it, I might believe them, but you, I don’t," Xu Pei chuckled, "You’re not even in Beijing. What would you know?"

Huangfu Ao shook his head gently, "Sorry, but that’s a secret among men, I can’t tell you!"

That time, Leng Zimo had genuinely killed a man.

Even though he had settled the matter, such things were naturally better known by fewer people, and Xu Pei was no exception.

"So..." Leng Zirui leaned back in his seat, summarizing, "My friendly advice to you two is to stay away from this volcano, especially stay away from Luo Xiaoqian. Otherwise, when you’re swallowed by the lava, don’t blame me for not warning you!"

Huangfu Ao reclined in his seat, "Don’t worry, I have no interest in playing with fire!"

The experience that night had made it clear to Huangfu Ao that Luo Xiaoqian was a person who ranked even before himself in Leng Zimo’s heart.

Provoking Luo Xiaoqian would be simply asking for trouble!

"However." Huangfu Ao sighed softly, "Zimo has not had it easy over these years. Meeting Qian might just be his fortune!"
