Chapter 431: Chapter 431

When Tang Mei put on her glasses, she then noticed that several of the pills indeed had light scratches on their surfaces, as if scraped with a small knife.

"Definitely that custom-made little tool."

"Wang Jinhui, oh Wang Jinhui, you really did something Tangtang would find perfectly satisfying!"

"Ah, never mind, solve it yourself."

Tang Mei gently touched the scratched pills with her fingers and felt the extremely fine lines. These marks were not noticeable, and would be easily overlooked if one were not observant.

She had just been busy counting them.

At this moment, Tang Mei was very certain that Wang Junchen’s feeling unwell last night was due to the mixing of these two kinds of pills in the food, although the dosage was too small to have more serious consequences.

"This little girl, hasn’t changed at all!"

"Ah, still the same as when she was a child, likes treasure hunting when she’s free."

"It seems, marriage can’t restrain you!"

Tang Mei shook her head thoughtfully and then walked towards her vanity, slowly removing a very delicate silver hairpin from her hair bun.

The next morning, at Lingxiao Manor.

Zhao Renjie stood by respectfully.

"Master, good morning."

A night of affection left Leng Lingxiao looking very pleased, and his voice was much softer.

"Tell me, how did it go?"

"That man indeed was not sent by Bai Long. Although he stubbornly insisted that he was Bai Long’s man, he knew very little about Bai Long and didn’t even know that Bai Long wears a low ponytail."

Leng Lingxiao’s thin lips curled slightly as he slowly sat down on the armchair: "Wang Junchen."

"Master is wise. He probably wanted to create some conflicts to force you to act against Li Zishen." Zhao Renjie softly replied as he showed some images from his phone to Leng Lingxiao.

"It seems, he wasn’t confident! Even with the support of siblings Jiang Yongxing and Jiang Yongli, he had to bring in others from the sidelines."

"Li Zishen really has some methods in business, otherwise Yishen Pharmaceutical would not have dominated the domestic market for so many years. After all, Wang Junchen just started, naturally, he is uncertain."

"Give the order, starting from today..."

Before Leng Lingxiao could finish his sentence, the study room door was opened by the smiling Tang Xiaowan.

No need to knock, it was always her privilege.

The wife probably didn’t hear, did she?

Seeing this, Leng Lingxiao’s eyes smiled.

Returning to Huang City yesterday had been tiring, and the night had been quite tumultuous; Leng Lingxiao thought his Little Wife would surely sleep until noon. Little did he expect, she woke up so early on her own.

"Huahua, let’s go, let’s run." Tang Xiaowan called out to Leng Lingxiao with a triumphant face.

"I thought you’d sleep in a bit."

"Oh, that... were you discussing business with Old Zhao? Then perhaps we should run tomorrow, I’ll just..."

Running, of course, Leng Lingxiao remembered.

"It’s nothing important, come on, let’s go running."

So, Tang Xiaowan smiled joyfully, took Leng Lingxiao’s hand, and they both left the study room, ready to challenge each other outdoors.

She still remembered the bet from the day before last.

During the run, Tang Xiaowan couldn’t help but ask, "Huahua, what were you and Old Zhao discussing just now? Was it something important?"

She suspected it was about Wang Junchen.

How he was last night, she didn’t know, whether he had been tormented? As for what the symptoms were, Tang Xiaowan really had no idea. She had just taken her grandmother’s two kinds of pills arbitrarily, merely because she thought the bottles looked nicer.

Leng Lingxiao chuckled lightly: "Just some routine business, nothing particularly important."

"Busy so early in the morning, don’t get too tired."

"Little dummy, with you by my side, I’m energized every day; how could I possibly be tired?"

After saying this, Leng Lingxiao smiled and patted Tang Xiaowan’s head softly, then quickly turned around and wholeheartedly threw himself into running.

Gusts of breeze caressed their cheeks, bringing a sense of refreshment.

This time, Tang Xiaowan learned her lesson from the day before yesterday and simply kept up with Leng Lingxiao without deliberately speeding up. Yet, Leng Lingxiao was still the first to return to the starting point.

Leng Lingxiao adjusted his breathing while looking at his beloved wife.

He saw Tang Xiaowan gasping heavily, with sweat beads sliding from her forehead, dripping down her slender neck to her collarbones.

The sportswear clung to her, accentuating her well-proportioned and enchanting figure.

A wave of affection stirred in Leng Lingxiao’s heart. The youthful charm radiated by her health, confidence, and vitality completely captivated him.

He approached Tang Xiaowan and tenderly stroked her damp hair, his eyes full of adoration, "Tired or not?"

"A bit, but it’s okay."

They exchanged smiles, their love quickly filling the air around them.

Working out together was truly wonderful!

"What’s going on, how come you won again?" Tang Xiaowan suddenly asked, clearly unsatisfied with the result of the race.

"You did well too; you persevered till the end."

"Right, I almost forgot! You said, as long as I keep running... I can do whatever I want with you."

"A gentleman’s word, fast as a steed."

Tang Xiaowan held her head high, earnestly replied, "Then I need to think carefully, I’ll tell you when I’ve decided, this chance is too good to waste."

"No problem, no rush, haha."

Right after, they walked hand in hand into the villa and headed straight for the dining area.

It was already eight, and they were both hungry.

The breakfast was as hearty as usual, featuring Tang Xiaowan’s favorite lean meat porridge, along with fragrant durian cakes, potstickers, and shredded radish.

The durian cakes were packed from Huang City last night; Tang Xiaowan ate two in one go.

Leng Lingxiao watched her, his heart filled with joy.

Unexpectedly, before they finished breakfast, Shen Yiming walked out of the guest room. He went straight to Leng Lingxiao to inquire about the upcoming medical equipment exchange in Jin City and who would attend.

"Didn’t I tell you? From now on, Hai Sheng’s matters will be managed by my lady and little beauty Tangtang."

Though Shen Yiming understood, he was still shocked.

"You seriously handed it over to this girl? She’s still a student for goodness’ sake. Chi Sea Hotel is one thing, but Hai Sheng is involved in medical services, which is highly specialized. Aren’t you being a bit careless?"

"Tangtang is awesome; you don’t realize that."

On cue, Tang Xiaowan looked proudly at a still-shocked Shen Yiming, confidently saying, "For this exchange, I will send a highly professional team. Mr. Shen, don’t worry, you’ll meet them soon."

"Alright, I’ll go prepare the materials."

"Hey, aren’t you having something to eat?" Tang Xiaowan asked with concern.

"I’ve already had breakfast with Nannan; who’s like you two, always inseparable, and can barely get out of bed at this hour."

Shen Yiming dropped this line and left.

It was intentional; who could blame Leng Lingxiao for returning to Huang City without telling him, neglecting a friend for his Little Wife—it was really inconsiderate.

Hearing this, Leng Lingxiao’s lips curved slightly.

And Tang Xiaowan’s face went red as she quickly retorted, "Nonsense, that’s not true." Updates are released by novel(ꜰ)ire.net

"You don’t, but Ling Xiao does, he does!"

Shen Yiming’s hearty laughter echoed downstairs as Leng Lingxiao, knowing it was purposeful, hurriedly picked up a chopstick of chilled shredded radish for Tang Xiaowan.

"Here, Tangtang, cool off, don’t mind him; he’s just green with envy."

"Look at him, he even..."

"Don’t worry, I’ll handle him in a bit."
