Liu Jingyi watched him quietly finish eating and clean up, then went over and wrapped her arm around his, tiptoed closer to him, and kissed his cheek.
"Husband, you still haven't said whether you like it or not?"
To ease his hesitation, she was now displaying her coquettishness to the fullest.
Before his mission, Leng Yunting had become accustomed to her occasional displays of affection.
He even found her closeness quite enjoyable.
How could he not like it, especially when she said "a long and happy marriage," even if she had ulterior motives?
Leng Yunting felt incredibly pathetic, wondering what kind of spell Liu Jingyi had cast on him.
Liu Jingyi's arms were weak, and after her bath, she smelled wonderful. Now, wrapped around his arm,
her soft lips accidentally brushed against his Adam's apple, and she softly coaxed him, causing Leng Yunting's body to stiffen.
Leng Yunting grabbed her fidgeting hand, his voice low and slightly hoarse: "Yes, I like it."
On the surface, Leng Yunting appeared unmoved, but his heart was in turmoil.
Liu Jingyi looked at his calm expression, inwardly wanting to curse.
This Leng Yunting was truly an ice block, impervious to both soft and hard approaches.
She had already pleaded with him so much, and even embroidered "A Hundred Years of Harmony" for him, yet all she received was this emotionless "I like it."
Liu Jingyi was already starting to doubt herself. Could it be that the man before her only liked her body?
Lost in thought, Leng Yunting had already led her to the room. "What are you thinking about? Go to sleep."
Although she inwardly wanted to curse, she maintained her girlish demeanor, raising her face and smiling sweetly as she answered, "Mmm."
Looking at her sweet smile, Leng Yunting thought that it wasn't so bad for her to stay like this.
After all, the truth had already been revealed.
Returning to his hometown and the city was inevitable; he would have to go back sooner or later.
The reason for returning to J City this time was to inform his parents in advance that he was married and that he would definitely bring her with him when he went back.
Originally, Leng Yunting was worried that Liu Jingyi wouldn't adapt to life in J City after returning with him.
After all, she had previously given the impression of being uneducated, naive, incredibly spoiled, and prone to drama!
But recently he realized he was wrong; he seemed to have never truly understood her.
He had to admit that he couldn't take his eyes off Liu Jingyi.
Leng Yunting was now absolutely certain that his trip back to J City was the right thing to do, since his parents' ideal daughter-in-law was Bai Yiyao.
Of course, at this moment, Leng Yunting didn't admit that he had fallen in love with Liu Jingyi; he just felt that this kind of life was quite good and avoided a lot of trouble.
Holding Liu Jingyi, Leng Yunting suddenly said, "Meng Yunfan is divorced?"
Liu Jingyi looked up at him blankly. Why was he suddenly telling her this?
Was it because she hadn't shown enough interest recently, and she wanted to settle down with him?
However, Leng Yunting's words made her suddenly realize that the story was veerging from its original form. After all, in the book, Meng Yunfan hadn't divorced.
How could he be divorced now? Could it be that her arrival had created a butterfly effect?
Liu Jingyi bit her lip, lost in thought.
"How did you know? Why didn't I hear anyone in the compound mention it?"
After pondering for a long time, Liu Jingyi finally voiced her doubts, seemingly forgetting how madly infatuated the original owner of this body had been with Meng Yunfan.
Leng Yunting's face immediately darkened. He looked down at the little woman in his arms. "You're happy."
Liu Jingyi realized what he meant and quickly tried to appease him, saying, "No, no, no, I'm not happy at all. I was just curious. Besides, that bastard is nowhere near as good as my husband, isn't he?"
"Hmph!" Leng Yunting snorted coldly.
Liu Jingyi was so close that she could almost hear the man gritting his teeth.
She looked at the coldness in the depths of his eyes, his gaze fixed on her, ignoring her explanation and condemning her without a second thought.
She was so wronged!
It wasn't her who wanted to ask; he was the one who said it. It was normal for her to be curious, wasn't it?
It would be abnormal not to be curious, right?
But she couldn't seem to blame him. After all, the original owner of this body had been too demanding. Even though she had come and changed, the man still didn't seem to believe her, didn't believe she really wanted to live a good life with him.
The man seemed to really dislike her.
Realizing this, Liu Jingyi's heart felt as if it had been struck by something, a bitter ache spreading through her…
When Liu Jingyi was born, her parents had already expanded their family business, and their lives were getting better and better.
She had always had a smooth life from birth, her studies and career untouched by setbacks, living the life of a pampered young lady.
Since arriving, she'd been the subject of gossip in the compound. She tried hard to win his favor, to let him know she genuinely wanted to spend her life with him.
Aside from a trip to Niuzhuang the day after he left, Liu Jingyi had been very well-behaved, but he'd given her the cold shoulder ever since.
In her life, Liu Jingyi had always been pampered and spoiled. Here, she'd endured so much dislike and disgust.
And then there were the stares she received, like she was a monkey. It was impossible for Liu Jingyi not to be sad, but she had nowhere to confide her sorrow.
Here, she had no friends, no family, no doting parents, no An'an. In her previous life, she'd lived a life of unparalleled comfort as a rich second-generation.
Now, transmigrated into this world where no one liked her, and everyone hated her…
The fault lay with the original owner, not her! She'd already tried to change! Why wouldn't they believe her?
She turned around, tears streaming
down her face.
"I'm going to sleep in the small room," she said, her voice nasal .
Liu Jingyi didn't want to explain anything at this moment; she really wanted to quit!
Actually, she envied the original owner of this body; she could do whatever she wanted, even if she ended up miserable, it was better than being suspected like this.
Liu Jingyi turned her back to him and went to the small room.
The room wasn't big, and the bed was small too. This room had previously been occupied by Leng Yunting.
Liu Jingyi lay down on the bed, unable to sleep. She buried her face in the blankets, surrounded by Leng Yunting's scent.
Didn't this man know how sad she was?
He hadn't even called her back when she left the room.
She was alone in this small room, and he hadn't even come to comfort her!
Ha!
This man really had no heart!
Liu Jingyi initially thought she might be being too dramatic, but in this cramped space, surrounded by the man's scent,
she cried pathetically!
