Chapter 469: Chapter 469
"Wow, my Huahua, so beautiful!"
Leng Lingxiao silently lamented in his heart: As beautiful as I may be, I don’t match up to half your charm!
His little Tangtang was truly a peerless beauty.
"Huahua, once you wake up, I’ll let you take a good look at your own stunning face... and see how you can still act so high and mighty, always bullying me day after day."
Nonsense, where would I dare to bully you!
"Come on then, get up! Don’t you like kissing me? Get up and kiss me to your heart’s content! You only use your strength and your height to your advantage, let’s see if you can get up now!"
Leng Lingxiao: Alright, I will satisfy you later.
"Look here, and here too, hmph, all nibbled by the little rascal, it was so embarrassing when we went to Huang City... I almost got caught by grandma, so annoying."
Leng Lingxiao: Please, that counts as bullying? Those... were clearly the bets you lost to me.
"Hmph, thinking of conspiring with grandma!"
"Not telling me, keeping things from me."
"Chou Huahua, at most one more day, if you don’t come clean, this missy will not be merciful."
"Remember, the medicine grandma prepared... hmph!"
"I came back fully loaded, you know."
Such complaints and warnings continued for quite a while; all the while, Leng Lingxiao was feigning sleep.
He felt so wronged and helpless.
Minutes later, Tang Xiaowan, feeling much relieved in her heart, slowly got out of the big bed, quickly changed her clothes in the walk-in closet, and left the bedroom.
She also took her cellphone with her.
Listening to the fading footsteps and the closing of the door, Leng Lingxiao suddenly opened his eyes, curiosity compelling him to sit up.
Still feeling a bit drowsy, the medicine hadn’t worn off yet.
He walked slowly to the bathroom and looking at himself in the mirror, he could hardly keep from laughing out loud.
"Is... is this still me, a man?"
Scarlet lips like blazing flames, seductive big waves in his hair, and even the alluring smoky makeup, not to mention the floral dress added not a few points to his appearance.
Leng Lingxiao couldn’t help it; a chuckle burst out of him, finding it all too amusing.
"I’ll give you a makeover too later, hahaha."
But for now, what he needed to do was... find a way to stay awake. This medicine was too powerful; pinching himself provided only short-term relief.
So, he took out the acupuncture kit.
This was far more effective than pinching his thigh, with instant results.
About 20 minutes later, while Leng Lingxiao was sending messages, he suddenly heard footsteps in the hall. He promptly put down his phone and continued to pretend to be asleep.
Little rascal, so full of life!
Just wait, you’ll get what’s coming to you.
Moments after, the bedroom door gently opened, and there was Tang Xiaowan holding a bunch of green grapes, an irrepressible good mood on her face.
"Wow, how sweet, do you want some?"
"Chou Huahua, for not telling me, hmph, I am your dearest person, and you teamed up with grandma, consider this a small warning."
"Ah, so pretty, let the big boss here have a feel, see if the color rubs off."
"I can always touch up your makeup."
However, the moment her hand touched Leng Lingxiao’s cheek, it was grabbed by a strong hand, and she looked into a pair of bright eyes.
Tang Xiaowan then came to a sudden realization.
The bedroom was promptly filled with a soft, coquettish pleading: "Huahua, I was wrong, I won’t dare again!"
"Wrong? Too late, hmph."
"I just think... that you, I just think you’re handsome, so I wanted to..."
With a mischievous smile, Leng Lingxiao pulled Tang Xiaowan into his arms; at this moment, he was no longer sleepy. Now, he had the energy and strength for "revenge."
"Is that so? Am I better looking than you?"
"Of course, much better looking than me!"
"Oh? Is that so? But I feel... that you’re even more beautiful, unsettling people’s hearts."
With that, a hearty laugh rang out.
Chicheng’s autumn was beautiful, not melancholic with falling leaves, but lush and verdant outside the window.
The next day at ten in the morning, sunlight streamed into the bedroom.
Tang Xiaowan slowly opened her eyes, awakening amidst various aches and pains, undoubtedly tormented by Leng Lingxiao well into the late night.
"Chou Huahua, just you wait and see next time!"
"I shouldn’t have been soft-hearted, should’ve added more, to think you were pretending to sleep, hmph, so infuriating."
"Next time, for sure... ah, forget it."
In truth, she was just venting her dissatisfaction, or else why would she make Leng Lingxiao look so ravishing and enchanting, a beauty that could overthrow states.
Even she, as a woman, couldn’t help but be dazzled.
Her cheeks blushing, she quickly ran into the bathroom for a shower, then went straight to the fourth floor.
To her surprise, Leng Lingxiao was not working in the study but was taking a phone call not far away on the opposite side; from the conversation, it seemed to be Tang Mei.
No way, is she tattling already?
Tang Xiaowan pouted, walking over with a sense of defiance.
"It’s fine, Tangtang would never."
She had no idea what Tang Mei had said, but she heard Leng Lingxiao patiently explaining, his words full of sincerity and limitless trust.
Not tattling! Is grandma fussing over me?
Hmph, I’m still mad about yesterday.
After hanging up the phone, Leng Lingxiao slowly turned around and saw his Little Wife glaring angrily in his direction. He quickly took her hand and opened the door of a room next door.
Tang Xiaowan thought she was about to be pinned against the wall again and unconsciously bit her lip, but to her surprise, the man remained very proper the entire time.
The scene before her truly surprised her.
Computers, fax machines, bookshelves – everything related to an office was there, and even in the resting area hung a huge seascape painting, magnificent and awe-inspiring.
"Is this for me?" Tang Xiaowan looked at Leng Lingxiao sideways with surprise in her eyes.
"I have my own study now! Right across from you, that’s great, I love it."
Leng Lingxiao slightly curved his thin lips in a smile, nodding his head.
"You didn’t get this done yesterday, did you?" Tang Xiaowan asked with a sudden realization and a smile.
"Yes, before we got back."
Hearing this, Tang Xiaowan felt a warm feeling inside and quickly grasped Leng Lingxiao’s arm, stood on her tiptoes, and gently kissed him on the forehead.
Her Huahua truly was the most considerate person in the world, having arranged everything perfectly. Updates are released by Nove1Fire.net
"Huahua, actually, there’s something... I’ve been hiding from you. About last night..." Tang Xiaowan hesitated, unsure of how to explain.
"Cheng Shi and Wang Meijuan went to Huang City?"
"Don’t worry, grandma won’t find out this time, I have my own plans," Leng Lingxiao gently patted Tang Xiaowan’s head, his eyes full of affection.
"So you knew all along. Yesterday night, after I did your makeup... and when I was instructing them, you seemed so confident. Right, just make sure not to get caught by Shen Shiyi’s people, and that Jiangbei."
"It won’t happen, as a reward... how about we go choose the wedding dress after lunch?"
When Tang Xiaowan heard this, her eyes widened.
"Weren’t we good to go last night?"
"Yes, I know, just surprised... you’re so efficient. By the way, who did you send? Is Ding Hui there?" Tang Xiaowan asked curiously.
He was the only mercenary whose name she could recall, as they had clashed before and he had left a deep impression.
Little did she know, he was the team leader.
Leng Lingxiao’s lips curved slightly, as he nodded thoughtfully, "Yes, more or less... by the time you’ve chosen the wedding dress... they will also be done with their tasks."
"Huahua, having you is so wonderful." Tang Xiaowan smiled sweetly, her eyes inadvertently welling up with tears.
