“Sis… sister, I… I… I’m the same, I was just waiting to close the door together with my brother-in-law!”
As the designated scapegoat, Leng Xingche once again stood there drenched in sweat, staring at Leng Bingning’s icy, piercing gaze.
Ever since his younger sister became a domineering female CEO, her eyes had only grown sharper. One cold glance from her was enough to make him feel as if he were standing before a raging tigress, sending chills down his spine.
And Zhu Tianfan, that useless brother-in-law, was way too vindictive. He had only called him useless once this morning, yet now he’d been set up twice already.
Sigh… why was this couple so exhausting to deal with!
Leng Xingche let out a silent sigh, planning to shut the private room door and spare himself the sight.
But then… what was Li Chen doing? He actually stuck his foot out of the doorway to stop him from closing it. Did he really want to put on another disgusting performance in front of his sister?
“Li Chen, why are you sticking your foot out? Aren’t you afraid your dear Xiner will be seen and embarrassed?”
Leng Xingche frowned and tried to push Li Chen back inside, but Li Chen stubbornly refused. Instead, he raised his voice and pleaded loudly, “Seventh Brother! I’m begging you, let me explain things to Bingning!”
“Bingning, I was wrong… I really was wrong! Every mistake is mine! I missed you too much, so I treated them as if they were you!”
“Bingning, have you forgotten how we used to understand each other, discuss our careers together, and chase our ambitions side by side?”
Although Li Chen was panicking, he still tried to justify himself. Deep down, he was confident that Leng Bingning’s reaction came from wounded pride.
As long as he lowered himself a little and spoke with enough affection, with how simple-minded she was, she would definitely come back to him.
When that happened, he could sweet-talk her a bit more. Not only would today’s situation be resolved safely, he might even get Leng Xingche to help with his company.
[What a fine adulterer, what a master of sweet talk. That woman will definitely be so moved she’ll turn back and sweetly call out, “Brother Chen, you really understand me best!” Tsk tsk… what a scene to look forward to.]
[Come on, hurry up and call him! The adulterer you’ve been obsessed with is gazing at you affectionately from behind. If you’re too shy, just hint at me—I can help create the opportunity! Or I can call him for you! Just give me a little extra money when we talk about divorce later, hehe… I’m such a considerate and enthusiastic husband! La la la…]
[Once I have money, I’ll run away with that beautiful secretary, then buy a villa in the countryside and live a sweet, loving life together. She can even give me several children…] This story is hosted at novelping(.)com.
Leng Bingning suddenly stopped in her tracks.
Li Chen’s words meant nothing to her—he was no different from a stray dog barking on the roadside.
But her useless husband’s nonstop rambling in his mind… that was what truly infuriated her.
Talking about how he was looking forward to her sweetly calling out to Li Chen, even planning to help create opportunities and squeeze more money out of her during the divorce… and worse, fantasizing about having children with her secretary Gu Qingcheng!
Heh… what a disgusting dog of a man. Pfft! The anger surged so fiercely that if she didn’t slap someone right now, she wouldn’t be able to calm down.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She turned around sharply and walked back toward Li Chen with graceful steps. Standing before him, she spoke coldly and mercilessly, “Is that so? Disgusting.”
“Slap!”
“Slap!”
“Remember… don’t call me Bingning again.”
After delivering two swift slaps, Leng Bingning shot Zhu Tianfan another icy glance.
Wasn’t this useless husband eagerly anticipating what would happen next? Now he could see what it meant for a domineering CEO wife to be truly angry.
Li Chen felt the burning pain on both sides of his face. His heart was filled with both confusion and relief.
He was confused because Leng Bingning had slapped him again… this was already the third time today, and in front of so many people.
But he was relieved because she hadn’t walked away. Instead, she came back to slap him, which meant he still held a place in her heart… or perhaps it was simply that the deeper the love, the stronger the hatred.
After all, any woman would feel uncomfortable seeing the man she loved in bed with others.
Li Chen convinced himself of this with unwavering confidence.
…
Meanwhile, Zhu Tianfan stared at Leng Bingning in complete confusion.
Something was very wrong with this domineering CEO today. She had actually slapped Li Chen three times in a row. Normally, she would have been enjoying his sweet talk. This chapter was copied from g.com without permission.
[Damn it! Why is she glaring at me? I wasn’t the one standing there rambling! Could it be that she’s furious because the man she likes would rather fool around with her best friend and sister than with her, so she lashed out in anger? Yeah! I really am a smart husband to figure this out!]
[What a pity… that woman is just too stupid. That adulterer is nothing but a wolf in sheep’s clothing here to ruin the Leng family. How could he possibly love her or dote on her? I remember later on he even stole business secrets from her laptop multiple times right under her nose, and she ended up suspecting her own employees… even that beautiful secretary! Pfft! Someone like her should’ve died sooner!]
[But then again… she really is impressive. Building a company worth trillions on her own, to the point where even the Li family and others had to join forces against her. If not for the adulterer stealing her trade secrets and her own foolishness in giving away the company, she could’ve built a commercial empire worth tens of trillions!]
Leng Bingning cast another cold glance at Li Chen.
What a Li Chen… what a so-called illegitimate son of the Li family. He actually intended to steal her business secrets from her office laptop.
It seemed that slapping him had its benefits—her useless husband would occasionally reveal hidden information.
In that case, she might as well play a little double agent game with this “Brother Chen” in the future. And her office laptop… she’d have her third brother modify it thoroughly.
As for her useless husband’s resentment and his scheming thoughts about divorcing her for that beautiful secretary, Leng Bingning could only silently remind herself of his merits.
For example, he was currently her precious husband. He had just praised her as an extremely capable woman. And in his previous life, he had endured decades of hardship, even begging, just to collect and bury her and her family’s bodies… an utterly devoted man.
Only by repeating these thoughts could she suppress the fury surging to her head. Otherwise, she might really beat him on the spot just to vent her anger.
On the other side, Leng Xiner, who had been hiding on the bed and shielding her body with a pillow, hurriedly finished dressing. Seeing Li Chen being slapped, her heart ached intensely.
This was her beloved Li Chen… the man she had spent the entire night with… the man she wanted to stay with for the rest of her life.
That bitch Leng Bingning! Why wouldn’t she just die? Why did she have to slap Li Chen? And Leng Xingche and Zhu Tianfan—one her brother, one her brother-in-law—why didn’t they stop her?
In order to leave a good impression on Li Chen, Leng Xiner rushed forward, her face filled with despair as if her world had collapsed. She threw herself into his arms, clutching her chest as tears streamed down her face, then looked at Leng Bingning and cried out, “Sis! What are you doing?”
“Brother Chen, does your face hurt? Let me rub it for you.”
“Sis! If you want to hit someone, hit me instead! Why are you hitting Brother Chen?”
