“Sis, you’re here… Sister Yue Ru and I really have nothing going on with Li Chen!”
“This was all someone setting Li Chen up! Li Chen, say something, isn’t that right?”
After speaking, Leng Xiner clutched her chest, her brows furrowing as if she were a fragile beauty on the verge of collapse. At the same time, a faint, pitiful smile curled at the corners of her lips, her expression filled with a delicate, heart-wrenching pain.
The look in her eyes was like someone about to die in front of the man she loved, yet unable to bear the thought of his life sinking into darkness without her.
Although she had no idea why the last scene in her memory from last night had somehow turned into her being with Lan Ruyue and Li Chen, that didn’t stop her from putting on an act in front of Leng Bingning and Li Chen.
Meanwhile, Lan Ruyue beside her was equally flustered. The only memory in her mind was being together with Leng Xiner and Li Chen. Now that her best friend stood right in front of her, she could only follow Leng Xiner’s lead and come up with the same explanation.
“Yes, yes, Bingning, you have to believe us! Nothing really happened between us and Li Chen!”
Lan Ruyue had always had a good impression of Li Chen. She often spoke well of him in front of Leng Bingning. Now that she had given herself to him, she didn’t feel any pain at all. Instead, a faint sweetness stirred in her heart.
What puzzled her, however, was that last night she had clearly forced five bottles of drugged Purple Dream Fruit Wine into Leng Bingning. So why was Leng Bingning standing here now, bringing along the Leng family’s entertainment superstar Leng Xingche and her useless husband?
Could it be that Leng Bingning hadn’t been assaulted by the five blond thugs last night and had instead returned home in time, escaping disaster with her useless husband?
Thinking of this, resentment surged once more in Lan Ruyue’s heart.
Why was Leng Bingning born into a wealthy family, while she herself had been born into a household that favored sons over daughters, where even having enough to eat every day was a distant dream?
Why did Leng Bingning have a man who loved her deeply, seven doting brothers, and parents who cherished her, while she herself had nothing but a useless brother who only knew how to ask for money and biased parents?
Heaven was truly unfair. She had to destroy Leng Bingning. Only then would the world become fair… only then would her heart find some peace.
On the other side, Zhu Tianfan stared at Leng Xiner and Lan Ruyue. As he recalled fragments of the original owner’s memories, a trace of disdain flickered in his eyes as he stole a few glances at them.
Leng Xiner… the adopted daughter of the Leng family. 160 cm tall, weighing 44 kg. Her figure was nothing worth mentioning… flat as a board. She looked frail and delicate, the kind of girl who at a glance made people think of a weak, pitiful girl next door.
Many men, upon seeing her, would instinctively feel the urge to protect her. Li Chen, that adulterous man, had fallen for her at first sight.
Of course, this didn’t mean Leng Xiner was stunning enough to rival Leng Bingning. In truth, her looks were only above average, the typical girl-next-door type. If one had to score her, she’d barely reach 88 points… definitely not 90. Yet she still became the white moonlight in Li Chen’s heart.
Lan Ruyue was much the same. At 165 cm tall, with an appearance that could be rated around 80 points and an equally flat figure, she appeared cheerful on the surface. However, due to her upbringing, she often fell into bouts of melancholy. You are reading on g.com, the official source.
After becoming close classmates and best friends with Leng Bingning, she developed a strong fondness for Li Chen. She would often speak well of him, yet she looked down on the original owner who stayed at home as a househusband.
[What an eyesore! The man this woman has been obsessing over turned out to be like this? Rushing back at noon just for this? He looks decent on the surface, but who would’ve thought he’d be this disgusting. No wonder he lasts such a short time every time. And no wonder Leng Xiner’s neck and chest are covered in hickeys… turns out his manhood is lacking!]
[Sigh… Leng Xiner and Lan Ruyue’s figures are like frying eggs on a flat pan, brushing slices of bread on a barbecue rack. Any normal man would have nightmares after seeing bodies like that… only that adulterer would be so obsessed!]
[Hehe… I get it now. The reason that woman got her heart and liver dug out for Leng Xiner isn’t just because the adulterer didn’t love her. There’s another big reason… a top-tier naturally seductive mature body like hers? He’s afraid if he touches her, he’ll end up dying in a woman’s bed sooner or later! Serves her right for dying… pfft!]
…
“Sis?”
Seeing Leng Bingning still standing at the doorway, staring at her coldly, Leng Xiner suddenly felt a wave of panic.
In the past, as long as Leng Bingning saw her being even slightly close with Li Chen, she would go crazy for an entire day. So why wasn’t she arguing now? Why wasn’t she acting like a jealous woman in such a situation? Why wasn’t she rushing up to Li Chen and scolding him?
Could it be that Leng Bingning had grown disappointed in Li Chen? That wouldn’t do… Li Chen’s goals wouldn’t be achieved!
“Mm.”
Leng Bingning glanced at Leng Xiner and Lan Ruyue with cold eyes and uttered a single word.
Now that she could hear her useless husband’s inner thoughts, all her previous affection for Leng Xiner’s pretentious behavior had completely vanished. As for Li Chen, she wished she could stab him to death. How could she possibly still indulge in that foolish, doting, brother-like affection as before?
“Husband, Seventh Brother, call Mom and Dad. Tell them Xiner, who didn’t return last night, has been found so they don’t need to worry.”
After saying that, Leng Bingning turned and left without even sparing Li Chen a glance.
“Ah?!”
Leng Xiner froze in shock.
Leng Bingning… the domineering female CEO… had actually changed her usual temperament. Facing Li Chen, she neither called him affectionately nor showed the slightest hint of jealousy.
Instead, the way she looked at him was no different from how she would look at a stray dog by the roadside… not a trace of care or emotion in her eyes. This chapter was taken from novelping(.)com without permission.
“Bingning! Listen to me, things aren’t what they look like!”
The most panicked person present was Li Chen.
Today, Leng Bingning was completely different. She didn’t call him affectionately, didn’t argue with Leng Xiner, and didn’t even slap him.
A woman like this was completely out of his control. How could he still straighten his status as an illegitimate son in the Li family? How could he prove himself in front of them?
Of course, it wasn’t just Li Chen who felt uneasy. Even Zhu Tianfan felt a chill of unease.
[Huh? Why did she just leave? Wasn’t she supposed to sweetly call out to Li Chen, then argue with Leng Xiner? Why does she feel so calm now… so calm it’s unsettling? Come on, turn back and call him! That’s the man you’ve been longing for!]
At the same time, Zhu Tianfan noticed something he hadn’t paid attention to last night… both Leng Xiner and Lan Ruyue had hickeys on their necks and chests, while Leng Bingning didn’t have a single one on her body.
[Wait! Wasn’t it supposed to be her who lost her innocence? How did it turn into the adulterer being with Leng Xiner and Lan Ruyue instead? That’s not right either… didn’t he go looking for her this morning and at noon? Could it be that after she ran off last night, these two went to Li Chen to figure something out, drank the drugged Purple Dream Fruit Wine, and got caught up in it themselves? Then rushed to find her again? And when things didn’t work out, they came back to open a room again? Damn… this plot is completely messed up!]
Before Zhu Tianfan could think further, a cold, murderous voice rang in his ears.
“Husband, do you still want to stand here and watch them get dressed?”
Zhu Tianfan stiffened and turned his head. Sure enough, Leng Bingning was already standing right in front of him, looking down at him coldly.
“No, no… I was just waiting for Seventh Brother so we could close the door together!”
Leng Bingning curled her lips in disdain and shot him a sharp glare.
“Is that so? Seventh Brother, what about you?”
This useless husband sounded nice when he spoke, yet just now he had been standing there secretly staring at Leng Xiner and Lan Ruyue’s bodies.
…Though, she had to admit, his evaluation of Li Chen, Leng Xiner, and Lan Ruyue had been rather amusing. Still, calling her that woman over and over again was truly irritating.
Moreover, another trace of dissatisfaction rose in Leng Bingning’s heart… her useless husband had been staring fixedly at Leng Xiner and Lan Ruyue’s figures.
Her own body was so outstanding, so full and alluring… yet he didn’t look at her. Instead, he stared at those skinny, flat figures.
It was infuriating.
