After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 408 - 411: A Love with No Flaws to Exploit [4]

Huangfu Ao also had a very good impression of Luo Xiaoqian.

That night, aside from Leng Zimo’s frenzy, what struck him most was Luo Xiaoqian’s strength and bravery.

That girl, seemingly delicate, actually had a powerful force within her, which he greatly admired.

Xu Pei was slightly distracted, remaining silent.

Leng Zirui glanced at her through the rearview mirror and exhaled softly.

...

...

When Luo Xiaoqian and Leng Zimo returned to World City, the clock in the living room had already struck five past midnight.

After taking a bath, Luo Xiaoqian didn’t see Leng Zimo in the room. Having looked around and not finding him, she decided to go up to the rooftop terrace. Scanning the area, she saw a flickering light beneath the dim vine arbor.

As she approached with curiosity, sure enough, she found Leng Zimo sitting on a chaise longue on the terrace, smoking a cigar.

"What’s wrong?"

Luo Xiaoqian stepped forward.

Leng Zimo placed the cigar in the ashtray on the table, reached out to pull her onto his lap, and began to wipe the water from her hair with a towel as he spoke in a low voice.

"My father is Leng Lin!"

Upon hearing these words, a clear look of surprise flashed across Luo Xiaoqian’s eyes.

Although she knew his background was extraordinary, this revelation still exceeded her expectations.

The name Leng Lin was not at all unfamiliar to her because this man often appeared in the news. He was not only an influential figure in Beijing but also wielded considerable power.

"Scared?" Leng Zimo asked softly.

"Not scared, just a bit surprised," Luo Xiaoqian turned to look at him, "Zimo, do you have something on your mind?"

This was the first time he had mentioned his father in front of her.

"I just feel that I should let you know more about me." Leng Zimo sat up straight and cupped her face in one hand, "Actually, I have not yet made our situation public because I did not want you to suffer any disgrace. Do you understand?"

"I understand," Luo Xiaoqian nodded gently.

He had such a background, and she was just a girl as ordinary as one could be; his father would certainly not easily accept her.

"But it doesn’t matter!" She quickly smiled again, lifting her palm to grasp his, "As long as you hold my hand, I’m not afraid of anything."

Her modesty did not mean she lacked bravery.

Beneath her seemingly fragile appearance, she was stronger than people imagined. Once she was committed to a path, she would not look back, not even if it meant crashing and bleeding.

Love was the same. Since she had chosen to work hard and walk this path with him, no matter how difficult the road was, as long as he held her hand, she had the courage to continue.

"In a few days, I will make some arrangements and then make this matter public," Leng Zimo tightened his fingers around her palm, "I will not let go for the rest of my life!"

Luo Xiaoqian didn’t speak but just quietly leaned into his embrace, gently inhaling the scent of his cigar that was similar to chocolate.

"How did the meeting go today, was it successful?" Leng Zimo asked, embracing her.

"Yeah, it was quite successful. We selected sixteen songs as options," Luo Xiaoqian sat up straight, her tone filled with pride, "Among them, three are the ones I wrote!"

Leng Zimo smiled affectionately, "I believe, once they are released, they will definitely be very influential works."
