After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 527 - 531 Thank You and Sorry [1]

Luo Xiaoqian did not answer Leng Zirui’s question but pushed the car door open and walked back to Leng Zimo’s side.

"Jiao Yang, you’ve been troubled these past few days."

"How could I be?" Jiao Yang smiled and winked at her, "I’m always glad to be trouble for you!"

If it were before, she might have just laughed off such a joke.

But after what happened last night, even though she was slow to catch on, she felt something, and could not manage to laugh seeing his smiling face. Instead, she spoke again, but only said two words.

"Thank you."

Of course, this thank you was not only for his care during the past two days but for other things as well.

Jiao Yang shrugged, "We’re good friends, right? Why be so polite?"

Luo Xiaoqian did not know what to say, but thankfully, Leng Zimo timely extricated her by saying goodbye to Jiao Yang, then lifted his hand to her shoulder, turned, and led her toward the car.

Once the two of them were in the car, Shen Yizhou started the engine and drove out of the villa.

Jiao Yang stood at the door, one hand in his pocket, leaning lazily against the door frame with the same lazy smile he always had, but there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

He watched the car drive away before turning to walk back into the living room. Looking at his disheveled reflection in the hall mirror, he chuckled at himself with self-mockery.

"Confessing in this state, I would be a fool to not get rejected!"

He walked back into the kitchen, looking at the mess on the floor, and once again picked up the cloth, bent down, and carefully started cleaning.

He would never have done this sort of thing before.

But this time, he wanted to finish it with his own hands.

...

...

Inside the car.

"Where are we going?" Shen Yizhou asked while driving.

Leng Zimo gently embraced Luo Xiaoqian’s shoulders, "Let’s find the nearest place to have breakfast."

"Hungry, huh?" Shen Yizhou asked with a smile.

"Not him, someone else is hungry," Leng Zirui teased from the side. "But seriously, are you two big stars really planning to go out like this, without caring about your images?"

Reminded by his words, Luo Xiaoqian hurriedly spoke up, "Should we go home first?"

"Fine!" Leng Zimo said, smiling as he stroked her hair, "Let’s go home."

Leng Zirui turned and glanced at Leng Zimo’s expression, "Hey, hey, hey, could you guys consider the feelings of this single young man over here?"

Luo Xiaoqian’s face burned, and Leng Zimo’s grip on her shoulders tightened as he shot Leng Zirui a sharp look.

Sensing the threatening intent in his gaze, Leng Zirui immediately withdrew his attention, "Keep going, keep going, pretend Brother Yizhou and I don’t exist, kiss and hug all you want."

Luo Xiaoqian’s face grew even redder, and she shifted uncomfortably in her seat.

"There’s something I think I should tell you," Leng Zimo said softly.

"What is it?" she asked, lifting her reddened face in confusion.

"Lu Hao is dead," Leng Zimo revealed.

Luo Xiaoqian was shocked, "When did this happen?"

"The night before last, he was killed in a hit-and-run at Houhai," Leng Zimo said with a frown, "The two men who took you, they were acting on his orders."

Thinking back to that night, how Brother Chuan and Hou Er had abducted her, Luo Xiaoqian was so angry she trembled all over, "I can’t believe he still wouldn’t let me go."

After that last incident, she had completely cut Lu Hao out of her life.

Later, when he called her from Qingdao, she thought he truly wanted to repent and start over.

Little did she know, he could do such a thing.
