Liu Jingyi quietly watched him finish eating, tidy up, then walked over, wrapped her arms around his, stood on her tiptoes, leaned close to his face, and kissed his cheek.
"Husband, you still haven't said whether you like it or not?"
To stop the man from agonizing over it, she was currently displaying her softness to the fullest.
Before going on a mission, Leng Yunting was already accustomed to her occasional displays of affection like this.
In fact, he found her closeness very pleasing.
How could he not like it, especially when she mentioned "a harmonious union for a hundred years," even if she had an ulterior motive.
Leng Yunting felt truly pathetic; upon careful thought, what kind of love potion had Liu Jingyi given him?
Liu Jingyi's arms were incredibly soft, and after bathing, she smelled even sweeter. As she held his arm now,
her soft lips accidentally brushed against the man's Adam's Apple. When she spoke softly, acting spoiled toward him, Leng Yunting's body stiffened.
Leng Yunting grabbed her restless hand, his voice deep and slightly hoarse, "Mm, I like it."
Although Leng Yunting appeared outwardly unmoved, his heart was surging with emotion.
Liu Jingyi looked at his calm expression and inwardly wanted to curse him.
This Leng Yunting truly was an ice block, impervious to both soft and hard tactics.
She had already acted so spoiled toward him and even embroidered "a harmonious union for a hundred years" for him, yet she only received his emotionless "I like it."
Liu Jingyi was starting to doubt herself. Could it be that the man before her only desired her Body?
While she was lost in thought, Leng Yunting had already led her to the Room. "What are you thinking about? Go to sleep."
Although she wanted to curse the heavens internally, she maintained the appearance of a demure woman on the surface, lifting her small face and sweetly replying, "Mm."
Leng Yunting looked at her sweet smile and thought that if she remained like this always, it might not be so bad.
After all, the truth was already apparent from above.
Returning to J City was inevitable; he had to go back sooner or later.
The reason for returning to J City this time was also to Inform his parents in advance that he was married and would certainly bring her with him when he returned in the future.
Originally, Leng Yunting had worried that Liu Jingyi would not adapt to life there after following him back to J City.
After all, the impression she previously gave was that of someone with no education, shallow experience, excessively pampered, and prone to drama!
But recently, he realized he was wrong; he seemed to have never truly understood her.
He had to admit that this version of Liu Jingyi made it impossible for him to look away.
Leng Yunting was now completely certain that returning to J City was the right decision, as his parents' ideal daughter-in-law was Bai Yiyao.
Of course, Leng Yunting at this moment would not admit that he was in love with Liu Jingyi; he just felt that living like this was quite good, avoiding a lot of trouble.
Holding Liu Jingyi, Leng Yunting suddenly said, "Meng Yunfan got divorced?"
Liu Jingyi looked up at him blankly. Why was he suddenly bringing this up?
Had her recent behavior not been obvious enough? She wanted to live life properly with him.
However, with Leng Yunting mentioning it, she suddenly realized the story was deviating, as in the book, Meng Yunfan did not divorce.
Why had he divorced now? Could it be a butterfly effect caused by her arrival?
Liu Jingyi bit her lip and fell into deep thought.
"How did you know? I didn't hear anyone in the Compound mention it?"
After thinking for a long time, Liu Jingyi voiced the doubt in her heart, completely forgetting how crazily obsessed the Original Body once was with Meng Yunfan.
Leng Yunting's face immediately darkened. He looked down at the small woman in his arms, "You are very happy."
Liu Jingyi snapped back to reality and quickly tried to appease him, saying, "No, no, I'm not happy at all, just curious. Besides, that scoundrel is nowhere near as good as my Husband, right?"
"Hmph!" Leng Yunting snorted coldly.
Liu Jingyi was close enough that she could almost hear the man grinding his teeth.
She looked at the coldness showing in the depths of his eyes, his gaze fixed on her, and he had already convicted her without even listening to her Explain.
She felt so wronged!
It wasn't like she wanted to ask; he was the one who brought it up. It was normal for her to be curious, right?
Wouldn't it be abnormal if she wasn't curious?
But she felt she couldn't blame him either. After all, the Original Body before her had been too dramatic. Even though she had arrived and made changes, the man still seemed unwilling to believe that she genuinely wanted to live life properly with him.
The man seemed to truly Disgust her.
Realizing this, Liu Jingyi felt as if something had struck her heart, causing immense bitterness...
When Liu Jingyi was born, her parents had already expanded the family business, and their life was getting better and better.
From the moment she was born, everything went smoothly for her. She never suffered any setbacks in her studies or career, always living the life of a pampered young lady.
In the days since arriving, constantly being gossiped about by people in the Compound, she tried hard to gain his affection, to let him know that she truly wanted to live life properly with him now.
Except for the first day after he left when she went to Niuzhuang, Liu Jingyi had been very well-behaved the rest of the time, yet he gave her the cold shoulder as soon as he returned.
In Liu Jingyi's life, others had always been the ones to coax and spoil her. In the few days since arriving here, she had endured too much Disgust and dislike from others.
There were also the gazes of others treating her like a spectacle. It was impossible for Liu Jingyi not to feel sad, but she had nowhere to express her sadness.
Here, she had no friends, no family, no doting parents, and no An An. In her previous life, the life of a rich second generation had been incredibly comfortable.
Now, transmigrating into a situation where no one liked her and everyone disliked her...
It was the Original Body's fault, not hers. She was already trying to change, so why was he unwilling to believe her?
She turned around, and tears—plop... plop...
—fell one by one.
Liu Jingyi spoke with a nasal tone, "I'll sleep in the Small room."
Liu Jingyi currently didn't want to Explain anything; she truly wanted to quit right now!
In fact, she envied the Original Body at this moment, who could act as she pleased. Even if her future ended miserably, it was better than being Doubted like this now.
Liu Jingyi turned her back to him, got up, and went to the Small room.
The Room wasn't large, and the bed was small. This Room had previously been occupied by Leng Yunting.
Liu Jingyi lay on the bed, unable to sleep at all. She buried her face in the quilt, which was full of Leng Yunting's scent.
Didn't this man know she was very sad right now?
The moment she walked out of the Room, he hadn't called her back.
She was staying alone in this Small room, and he hadn't even come to coax her!
Heh heh!
This man truly had no heart!
Liu Jingyi initially thought she might be being overly sensitive, but in this confined space, the man's scent was everywhere!
She cried, lacking any self-control!
