Chapter 470: Chapter 470

"You’re just too impatient," he said.

"What if Wang Junchen never leaves Ye Wanhua’s side? Why does grandma stop me? And says that even a hundred tests would be useless?"

Seeing Tang Xiaowan’s emotional fluctuations, Leng Lingxiao quickly embraced her and gently patted her back.

"Huahua, I always feel..."

"Little fool, stop overthinking. This time... it will definitely go smoothly, no one can stop you," Leng Lingxiao replied with a determined look.

"Yeah, maybe I’m just overthinking things, Ye Wanhua isn’t my mother at all. Besides, previously... you did it, she’s not, and according to Wang Junchen... he did it too, so there shouldn’t be any mistakes, grandma can’t interfere every time."

That was exactly what puzzled Leng Lingxiao.

"Tangtang, whether she is or isn’t, let’s do it one more time. Don’t be sad, you still have me."

"Okay, one last time."

Leng Lingxiao naturally understood Tang Xiaowan the best.

The issue of the paternity test had always troubled him; he hoped it was true yet feared it might be.

Since yesterday, having learned about Ye Wanhua’s various hardships through the recorder, Tang Xiaowan had been emotionally unstable; fortunately, for now, it was just limited to doubting and resenting.

But if the test results really confirmed them as mother and daughter, that wouldn’t just be simple empathy.

In early July, the time Tang Xiaowan went mad in the rain, Leng Lingxiao was heartbroken every time he thought about it, though he hadn’t known what happened until later when Tang Mei voluntarily brought it up and explained the reasons.

Thus, he couldn’t imagine what foolish things Tang Xiaowan might do if they were really mother and daughter.

Song Dapeng had died, and now only Yuan Min and Li Wanshan were left, but what was the deal with Yuan Feng and Nanny Wu? Were they also involved?

Ye Wanhua indeed had had a rough time back then!

If the test results really confirmed them as mother and daughter, she wouldn’t actually go straight to Jin City, would she?

The Leng Family had brought it upon themselves, but Tangtang...

Thinking this, Leng Lingxiao couldn’t help but shudder inside: "Tangtang, how about we just go for a walk in the garden first? Dinner will still be a while."

"Just a walk, huh, not running. I’m still not over it," Tang Xiaowan pouted playfully.

"You really are... Okay then."

Unexpectedly, just as the two were about to reach the ground floor lobby, Tang Xiaowan’s phone suddenly began to ring.

Ding-ding-ding, ding-ding-ding, ding-ding-ding...

She thought it was Wu Qiming calling, since she had just appointed a new deputy general manager yesterday. It was quite normal to have doubts within the management or lack of cooperation.

But when she checked her phone, it was Li Zishen, which left her a bit unable to react.

Could it be because of the conference?

I didn’t really steal his business, at most... well, maybe just a little bit.

Doesn’t matter, it’s all fair competition.

"Why aren’t you answering the phone?" Leng Lingxiao asked with a light smile, gently flicking her nose.

Tang Xiaowan frowned: "It’s Li Zishen."

"Answer it. Maybe it’s something urgent."

Tang Xiaowan did not expect Leng Lingxiao to be so calm; she couldn’t see any displeasure on his face.

It even made her seem a bit trivial.

Sure enough, as soon as the call connected, a deep and anxious voice came through the phone: "Xiao Wan, are you in Chicheng now?"

"Du Jiahao has come back to the country. Be careful."

What does his return have to do with me?

Surely not... no, it shouldn’t be.

Li Zishen didn’t even know that the person who had let Du Jiahao go initially was-Tang Xiaowan.

He still thought it was Shen Shiyi’s people who had rescued Du Jiahao, especially since at that time, the person who ordered Du Jiahao’s deceptive capture in Chicheng was Leng Lingxiao, who was beaten severely and nearly died.

This situation, when faced by anyone else, would have led to seeking revenge, but Du Jiahao would not.

Tang Xiaowan was well aware of this. Anyone who posed a threat to her would not be let off by Leng Lingxiao, and the fact that Du Jiahao had managed to escape with her help was merely a fluke.

This, Du Jiahao naturally understood.

Though he was a professional assassin, he was not heartless and knew to repay kindness.

"Xiao Wan, are you okay?"

"You mean... Du Jiahao has come to Chicheng?" Tang Xiaowan asked thoughtfully.

"It’s still unclear, but just to be safe... is Leng Lingxiao with you?" Li Zishen frowned slightly as he walked toward the floor-to-ceiling window.

As he finished speaking, Tang Xiaowan did not immediately respond but instead turned her head towards Leng Lingxiao, who, sure enough, did not want to take the call and simply waved his hand at her.

"Do you need Huahua for something?"

Staying with Xiao Wan, he probably wouldn’t refuse, right?

Li Zishen quickly gathered his thoughts and asked with a smile, "Is it inconvenient?"

However, this time, he miscalculated.

Leng Lingxiao didn’t fall for it at all; he walked directly to the living room and slowly sat down on the sofa, smilingly watching his little wife answer the phone, as if nothing was amiss.

My Little Tangtang, do you think you can covet her?

Knowing assassination wouldn’t work... now resorting to this tactic, still trying to get involved as a friend.

Humph, dream on. It’s a death wish!

Seeing this, Tang Xiaowan couldn’t help but touch her nose, "Huahua is on the phone, just tell me what you need, I can relay the message."

Upon hearing this, Li Zishen’s eyes shifted slightly.

"Oh, I see! Actually, it’s nothing... then I won’t disturb him for now."

"Let’s leave it at that then, bye."

He didn’t expect to hang up so quickly; he had finally seized an opportunity and just wanted to chat a little longer.

He missed her terribly, to the point of madness. Follow current novels on novel✦fire.net

"Wait! Xiao Wan, you can contact me anytime if there’s anything, anytime is fine, no, even if there’s nothing."

"You don’t need to, but thanks."

"Also, you have your midterm exams coming up, right? When are you going back to school? If time permits, let’s have a meal together, you pick the place, Li Garden is also fine. Uncle Cai often mentions you; he says it’s been a long time since he last saw you, you used to love the dishes he cooked."

"Right, and Nanny Chen also made six autumn dresses for you, they look really nice, and I think they’d suit you well. I’ll have someone send them over this afternoon, try them on, and see if anything needs adjusting."

Last time it was vegetables by helicopter, and now clothes?

Why can’t he sense boundaries?

"Please thank Nanny Chen for me, I appreciate the gesture, but I have something else to do. I need to go, bye."

After saying this, Tang Xiaowan quickly hung up the phone. Listening any further, not only would Leng Lingxiao turn into a jealous king, but she might explode as well.

Li Zishen smiled faintly: "I love you!"

He knew she couldn’t hear him anymore, but he still wanted to say it for her to listen.

If it wasn’t for the gratitude he had for saving his life in the past, perhaps Tang Xiaowan would have been even more decisive. Li Zishen knew this all too well but just couldn’t accept the reality, deceiving himself over and over.

If only you had met me sooner... the person by your side... would definitely be me.

Leng Lingxiao doesn’t deserve you.

You’re just accustomed... to his presence.

It was only when a knock on the door was heard that Li Zishen snapped out of his thoughts, his expression complicated as he moved away from the floor-to-ceiling window.

After receiving permission, Du Feng pushed the door open.

"Brother Shen, we’ve found him; he’s near the South Suburb of Huang City, alone in the car, what should we..."

Li Zishen furrowed his brows: "We need him alive."
