After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 593 - 597 The First Confrontation [3]

Luo Xiaoqian didn’t think it was her fault that Xu Pei had fallen in love with Leng Zimo.

As for Xu Pei’s prejudice against her, she had encountered a similar situation when she met Father Leng; she and Leng Zimo were from two different worlds, and in the eyes of the world, it was naturally she who had aimed too high in pursuing Leng Zimo.

She didn’t care about that either.

This matter was a war between her and Xu Pei, with Xu Pei as the attacker and her as the defender. It was her love defense war, and she didn’t want to drag Leng Zimo into it as well.

Leng Zimo had already done enough for her—if she couldn’t even protect her own love, she wouldn’t have the right to speak about love anymore.

Yu Tong looked at her, and seeing her face calm, seemingly unaffected by her sole encounter with Xu Pei, she felt somewhat relieved.

"Okay, we can agree to keep your secret for now, but, as I said before, you must be careful around Xu Pei." Yu Tong looked seriously at Luo Xiaoqian, "Understand?"

"Don’t worry." Luo Xiaoqian swung her arm, "Recently, I’ve been continuously learning self-defense with Gao Jie and the others. Now, when it comes to fighting, you are no match for me."

Yu Tong chuckled, "No wonder even President Leng has taken a liking to you, I’m almost falling for you."

"Then will you fight with Leng Zimo for me?" Luo Xiaoqian laughed.

Yu Tong rolled her eyes, "Me? Forget it, I want to live a few more years. If that guy from your house knew I dared to hit on you, wouldn’t he just mow me down with a machine gun!"

Gao Jie, who was driving, also laughed, "Just one look from President Leng, and you’d be done for, who needs a machine gun?"

Inside the car, everyone started laughing.

The car soon arrived at World City, and Yu Tong personally escorted Luo Xiaoqian upstairs. She watched her close the door to her room before leaving World City.

Luo Xiaoqian locked the door and quickly took a shower, still not seeing Leng Zimo return.

Glancing at the wall clock, nearly pointing to one, she couldn’t rest assured and immediately took out her phone to call Leng Zimo.

The call connected quickly, and Luo Xiaoqian asked with concern.

"It’s so late, are you still not finished with work? Did something happen?"

"There’s a bit of an issue here; I’ll be back late. Are you at World City alone?"

"Yeah, I told Gao Jie and the others to go back."

"Then make sure to lock the door, and go to bed early. I’ll come home once I’m done."

"Don’t worry about me; I can manage on my own. If it gets too late, just rest at the office, and remember not to stay up too late."

"Okay, goodnight."

Listening to the voice on the phone, Luo Xiaoqian said goodnight and hung up. Leng Zimo then put away his phone, placing it on the table of the all-night coffee shop.

He lifted his face, and when he looked at the woman sitting opposite him, his gaze had already turned indifferent.

"If you’re going to keep beating around the bush, I don’t think there’s a need for us to continue this conversation."

"President Leng, I didn’t mean anything by it; I know I was wrong last time, but this time, I sincerely want to help you and Luo Xiaoqian."

Across the coffee table, Su Jin took a deep drag of her cigarette, then fished out a USB drive from her bag and placed it on the table.

"What is it?"

Leng Zimo frowned as he glanced at the USB drive she had placed on the table.

A moment ago, the person who had called him was Su Jin.

On the call, Su Jin specifically mentioned that she knew something important related to Luo Xiaoqian that might affect her singing career, which was why Leng Zimo decided to meet her.
