After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 462 - 465: The Attitude of Father Leng【8】

Leng Zimo’s eyes finally showed a hint of surprise. He had anticipated that Leng Lin would consider Luo Xiaoqian to be inadequate, but to think that he would actually give her extra points was completely out of character for that man.

"I guess..." Luo Xiaoqian turned her face, looking at the photo of her and her father on the shelf, "these ten points are probably because of my father. Your dad came in looking like he was ready for a fight, but after he saw this picture, he started to ask me about my father, and his attitude softened a lot. When I escorted him out just now, he even complimented me on my tea!"

Leng Zimo raised his eyebrows, even more surprised.

"Actually, I think your dad and you are really alike. You both appear very tough, but once that tough exterior is stripped away, you’re very soft, especially when it comes to you. I can feel that he actually cares a lot about you." She reached out and took his hand, speaking gently, "Zimo, I know there are some tensions between you two, but I still want to ask you, for my sake, please don’t treat him that way. Even if he has done something wrong, he is still your father after all."

"You don’t understand." Leng Zimo sighed softly, "You shouldn’t worry about this matter, I have my own judgment."

"Zimo!" Luo Xiaoqian tightened her grip on his hand, "I know I shouldn’t interject in your family matters, but I really don’t want you to have regrets in the future. You know, some things, once lost, might never come back!"

Just like her, at that time, she too had a poor relationship with her mother due to some misunderstandings. After her mother left, although she realized her mistake, what use was it?

It was truly painful not to be able to care for a parent who was no longer present.

Looking into her clear eyes, Leng Zimo nodded gently, "I can’t promise to forgive her, however, I can promise you that as long as he doesn’t deliberately target you, I won’t provoke him."

Knowing his personality, Luo Xiaoqian immediately smiled and nodded in agreement, seeing that he was willing to go to such lengths was very rare, "Alright, I’m really fine. Go back to work now, it’s important."

"Ailin has already returned, and with Ailin here there won’t be any problems." Leng Zimo looked at the teacup on the table that Leng Lin had used, "I heard your tea is quite good; I’d like a cup myself."

"Chirp!" Luo Xiaoqian immediately stood up, mimicking the eunuch’s mannerisms as she curtsied toward him, "This servant will go and prepare tea for His Majesty right away!"

Watching her walk into the kitchen with a smile, Leng Zimo reached for his phone, and after the call connected, he simply issued a cold command.

"Keep an eye on Xu Pei for the next few days!"

Xiao Ding had just seen Xu Pei upstairs. It was clear that she had followed them all the way here. It seemed that despite his proposal to Luo Xiaoqian, she apparently had no intention of giving up.

Leng Zimo couldn’t help but worry. Xiao Qian’s simplicity and transparency were her most precious qualities, but they were also her greatest weaknesses. When it came to scheming, Luo Xiaoqian was far behind Xu Pei.

Although he didn’t believe Xu Pei would do anything too outrageous, he still issued the order, just to be cautious.

"Tea is ready!"

Luo Xiaoqian walked briskly from the kitchen with a cup of tea in hand.

Seeing her, a smile that flowed from the bottom of Leng Zimo’s heart immediately appeared on his face.

This girl had a kind of magic about her, especially when she smiled. It always made one feel as if the whole world was bright, warm, and comforting.
