After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 567 - 571 Zimo’s Birthday Banquet【6】

"Oh, since there wasn’t a spot over here, I parked in that spot over there." Xu Pei waved to the group, "I’m heading off, you all should head back too, Uncle Leng, you should get some rest early."

Leng Zimo led Luo Xiaoqian up the steps while Leng Lin gave Leng Zirui a look, signaling him to walk Xu Pei to her car, and Leng Zirui jogged to catch up with her.

"Sister Xu Pei, let me walk you!"

Xu Pei immediately refused, "No need, it’s just a short walk, go back and keep Uncle Leng company!"

Leng Zirui smiled and slipped his hands into his pockets. "Come on, as a gentleman, how can I let a lady leave on her own!"

Seeing his insistence, Xu Pei had no choice but to accompany him to where she parked her car.

When she opened the door of the champagne-colored SUV, Leng Zirui stepped forward and leaned against the car, "You got a new car so soon?"

A flash of panic crossed Xu Pei’s eyes, "I saw the advertisement before, thought this color was really beautiful, and bought one on a whim. You like it, want to take it for a spin for a few days?"

"Where would I have the time to play with cars now!" Leng Zirui straightened up, "Drive safe on your way, and remember to send me a text when you get home!"

"Sure!" Xu Pei waved to him and started the car.

As he watched her drive away, Leng Zirui turned and walked back to the Leng Family Mansion, pausing as he noticed the open space in front of the mansion.

In front of the Leng Family Mansion, there was a large open area, big enough to fit five or six cars. There had clearly been parking spaces available earlier, yet Xu Pei parked far away, which seemed somewhat illogical.

The brothers had loved, played with, and understood cars since they were young.

People like Qin Lan would consult him or Leng Zimo when buying cars. The last time Xu Pei bought that white Maserati, she also brought him along to choose the car. It wasn’t unusual for Xu Pei to buy a new car; they often switched to new ’clothes’ like it was nothing special. But it was strange that she didn’t ask him to help choose this time.

After a moment’s thought, Leng Zirui turned and walked into the living room. Seeing Leng Zimo sitting on the sofa chatting with Luo Xiaoqian and Father Leng, he immediately whistled, "Bro, upstairs, I need to ask you something."

Leng Zimo stood up and followed him upstairs.

As the brothers entered the upstairs parlor, Leng Zirui got straight to the point, "What’s up with Sister Xu Pei?"

"How would I know?" replied Leng Zimo with displeasure in his voice.

Leng Zirui passed him a cigarette, "Judging by that tone, it sounds like she’s offended you?"

Turning to close the door of the parlor, Leng Zimo walked out onto the balcony, "It was her who told Dad about Xiao Qian’s situation."

Playing with the lighter in his hand, Leng Zirui nodded lightly.

"Why bring this up all of a sudden?" asked Leng Zimo.

Leng Zirui shrugged, "Just that she seemed off during dinner, probably found out you and Xiao Qian are getting married, not in the best mood."

Leng Zimo frowned slightly, "I don’t know how things suddenly turned out this way. As soon as I came back this time, she started acting really strange. The Xu Pei of the past was never like this."

"That’s because Luo Xiaoqian wasn’t around you before," Leng Zirui glanced at him, "I always thought you were just emotionally unintelligent, but now I see I was wrong. It’s not that you’re emotionally unintelligent, it’s that Xu Pei is just not your type!"

Leng Zimo exhaled a cloud of smoke, "Let’s leave what happened before in the past, I hope she can adjust quickly and get back to her usual self."

Leng Zirui brought the cigarette to his lips and lit it, "Let’s hope that’s the case!"
