Chapter 398 - 391: The Restless Qi Hui
"What are you thinking about?" Bai Yiran reached out to smooth the frown on Leng Yichen’s forehead, "Are you still upset that I went to Liu Fei and didn’t tell you? Or that I met Bai Chuan and didn’t tell you? Or something else?"
Bai Yiran’s hand was a bit cold, and Leng Yichen easily wrapped his warm big hand around her small one.
"No, I’m not angry," Leng Yichen said softly. "I’m glad you told me about this."
"Then why do you still look so down, like I’ve done something wrong?" Bai Yiran looked at Leng Yichen, suddenly feeling more like Leng Yichen’s daughter than his wife.
There’s a saying, if you find a man who cherishes you like a daughter, then marry him.
Bai Yiran thought, could this be considered as finding one?
"I’m thinking about something." Leng Yichen kissed Bai Yiran’s forehead.
"What is it?"
"Something that might make you angry if I say it?" Leng Yichen looked at Bai Yiran with a playful smile.
"What is it?" Bai Yiran gave him a sidelong glance, "Are you planning to find a mistress?"
Leng Yichen playfully bit Bai Yiran’s cheek, "What kind of crazy things are you thinking about?"
He looked at Bai Yiran, still wanting to bring up that subject. He wanted Bai Yiran to stop working, or join Huamei International. This way, she could always be within his control, and it would offer greater security.
With someone like Nawa lurking in the shadows, Leng Yichen knew he was already in his sights. Even if this battle was forced upon him, could he reason with such a desperado?
If it was only about Leng Yichen himself, he wouldn’t be afraid. He’s used to dealing with challenges as they come. But Bai Yiran had become the sword that could bind his hands and pierce his heart. If someone exploited this weak spot, he’d be helpless.
"What are you thinking about now? Won’t you tell me?" Bai Yiran was starting to get impatient.
"Sigh..." Leng Yichen sighed, "I was wondering if you’ve gained weight recently?"
Saying this, Leng Yichen playfully jiggled his leg, "Hmm, indeed, you have gotten heavier!"
"No way!" Bai Yiran gave Leng Yichen a playful slap, "I’m perfectly fit, thank you very much!"
Leng Yichen looked at Bai Yiran, ultimately unable to say what he truly wanted to. He knew that if he spoke without giving a reasonable explanation, they would definitely end up arguing.
Only, this reasonable explanation is something he could never let her know.
For now, it hadn’t reached such a dire point, so he could arrange for more people around Bai Yiran.
After spending a sweet moment in the office, Leng Yichen checked the time and decided it was about time to head home, postponing his evening engagements to return home with Bai Yiran.
Holding hands from the top floor to the lobby, the employees watched in disbelief as the usually stoic President Leng was so gentle and warm with his wife!
At that moment, many female employees felt their hearts break, realizing this handsome boss was out of their reach.
As they walked, they ran into Qi Hui. Her face still carried that professional demeanor, and despite the gossip around her, she remained unruffled.
"Mr. Leng, madam!" Qi Hui greeted them respectfully, then walked away without a second glance.
Seeing Bai Yiran and Leng Yichen walking out hand in hand without much expression, she seemed detached from worldly concerns.
After all, anyone would have been affected by such a scandal at the party, let alone someone as proud as Qi Hui. But she was still able to come to work as if nothing had happened, earning Bai Yiran’s admiration.
Leng Yichen didn’t even lift his eyes as he led Bai Yiran out the door.
It wasn’t until they got into the car that Qi Hui stopped walking. Her previously indifferent face contorted with rage as she took out her phone and dialed Luna’s number, "I want to see you!"
