After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 440 - 443: Some Loves are Only Namesake [6]

Luo Xiaoqian nodded emphatically.

"Very good!" Leng Zimo’s palm moved up, cupping her face and looking her in the eyes seriously, "Remember, now, listen carefully to every word I say, you are the first woman I have loved, and you are the only woman I want. No matter what others say, don’t believe them. If there is anything you don’t understand, it’s still the same, come to me, and I will explain it to you. Do you understand what I mean?"

Luo Xiaoqian continued to nod.

"Repeat it."

"Leng Zimo loves only Luo Xiaoqian, sleeps only with Luo Xiaoqian. If anyone dares to drive a wedge, get rid of them. If Luo Xiaoqian can’t deal with it alone, tell Leng Zimo, let Leng Zimo take care of it!" Luo Xiaoqian looked into his eyes, "Is that what you mean?"

"Completely correct!" Leng Zimo ruffled her hair and helped her up, "Go take a shower, and then, we’ll go to eat."

"Zimo," Luo Xiaoqian stood in front of him without moving, smiling mischievously, "Is it because some actress has kissed you forcefully again recently?"

Since she had joined Emperor View, she had, of course, heard more than her share of gossip about him, including the incident where he had blacklisted an actress for forcibly kissing him. His sudden declaration today made her naturally guess that he must have encountered some similar trouble.

"There was indeed one," Leng Zimo raised his hand to pinch her nose, "named Luo Xiaoqian."

"That wasn’t me!"

"Half an hour ago, who was it that pounced and kissed me?"

Luo Xiaoqian’s face turned red; it seemed that there had indeed been such an incident, but of course, she wasn’t going to admit it, "Did I? I don’t remember, ah, I’m thinking of going to take a shower, I’m so hungry. After the shower, we’ll go to eat. What should we eat? I really need to think about it..."

Watching her enter the bathroom and close the door, Leng Zimo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Those who don’t know Luo Xiaoqian might think this girl is a bit silly, but only he knew she wasn’t dumb. She simply preferred not to think ill of others and to not use scheming.

It was precisely because he knew this that he was carefully protective of her, not wanting anyone to hurt her.

Not telling her about Xu Pei’s situation was not an intentional concealment, but because the issue was still within his control. If she knew what Xu Pei had been through, this girl would definitely be overwhelmed by sympathy and self-blame, which was the last thing he wanted to see.

His Luo Xiaoqian should be carefree and happy, and nobody should be allowed to hurt her.

Not Xu Pei or anyone else!

No one is allowed!

...

...

Near Houhai, in a certain courtyard.

After showing her credentials and a phone confirmation, Xu Pei’s car was allowed to enter the courtyard.

Very important people lived in this courtyard, so naturally, the security was extremely strict.

Driving her newly acquired Maserati deeper into the courtyard, Xu Pei’s gaze slowly swept over the familiar grounds, filled with emotions.

The houses in the courtyard had been renovated several times yet still retained the appearance from her childhood, unlike the outside world, which had already changed beyond recognition.

Parking her car in front of the three-story villa deep in the courtyard, Xu Pei had just gotten out with the prepared gifts when a spirited, tall man with a straight back was already coming out to greet her with a smile.

"Pei girl!" Leng Lin, still on the steps, was already smiling and greeting Xu Pei.
