Chapter 29: Unreasonable Demands Want to Eat Shrimp

  A stylish glass round table was filled with a variety of colorful dishes. Although five people were seated around it, the distance between them was quite obvious.

  Ling Han sat between Leng Ni and Leng Xi, while Leng Long and Mei Shan sat opposite them. The round table without edges was made to feel square by their seating arrangement.

  Leng Xi originally moved the stool to sit in a place that was some distance away from Ling Han, but unexpectedly, Leng Long said with a smile and quietly moved Leng Xi's stool closer to Ling Han's side, and also pushed and coaxed Leng Xi to sit down on the chair he had arranged.

  Haha, Leng Shao, this is just a simple family dinner with some small dishes, nothing too fancy. Thank you for not looking down on us, please enjoy your meal... Quick, sit down, we have guests and need to be polite. Leng Long smiled at Ling Han while pushing the stiff Cold Creek to sit next to him.

  Ling Han's lips curled up with a faint smile, and his handsome face floated with noble elegance, silently nodding slightly.

  Leng Long's arranged position was right next to Ling Han, an absolutely unsafe distance. The masculine aura on his body was almost palpable, and the mysterious, slightly evil atmosphere surrounded Leng Xi, making her skin feel numb just from that alone. She carefully sat down, not daring to look at him, with a stiff neck and lowered head. In this house, she could be considered the host, while Ling Han was the guest, yet she was the one who felt constrained and tense.

  "Hey, isn't shrimp your favorite? Come on, I had my mom make your beloved braised shrimp. Try it and see how it tastes." As soon as Leng Xi sat down, Leng Nie naturally moved closer to him, her face inches from his, and affectionately placed a braised shrimp in his bowl. A warm smile floated on her delicate face as she spoke, and when she glanced at Leng Xi, the softness in her eyes was like turbulent waves.

  Her own father pushed Leng Qing towards Ling Han, and Leng Ni watched it all with envy and anger accumulating in her heart. Clearly she was the one who should be Ling Han's wife, but why did her father insist on pushing this shameless and filthy woman Leng Qing towards him?!

  She won't let that little slut steal Ling Han's heart, absolutely not!

  Ling Han blinked, his dense and long eyelashes sweeping over his eyes, covering up his gaze, making it impossible to discern his expression. Under Leng Ni's expectant gaze, he picked up a shrimp, his thin lips curling up slightly, a hint of a smile. Leng Ni's heart fluttered at the sight, thinking that Ling Han had accepted her, a warm sense of triumph rising to her heart.

  But in the next second, Ling Han's actions and words suddenly sent Qiong Ni from heaven to hell.

  Leng Xi, yesterday you were still being unreasonable and making a fuss about wanting to eat shrimp. Now your wish has been granted, go ahead and eat. Ling Han's mouth curved into a beautiful arc as he looked at Leng Xi with his deep, mysterious eyes. The warm feeling that passed through the air was like the warmth of spring when flowers bloom. He naturally placed the shrimp he had given to Leng Ni into Leng Xi's bowl.

  Pfft...... Cough, cough...... Leng Xi, who was drinking water, heard his words and was shocked. She got excited and almost choked on the water she had just drunk, but she swallowed it hard.

  What did he say!

  She was arguing with him for no reason and wanted to eat shrimp, actually...

  Drink slowly, no one is competing with you, what are you waiting for, eat!

  A large palm suddenly appeared behind her to help her catch her breath, and before she could react, a bright red shrimp was already at her lips. She was caught off guard, and in her flustered glance, she saw Ling Han's handsome face inches away, as well as the gentle yet irresistible commanding gaze in his eyes.

  Leng Xi's heart skipped a beat, under his aura, all words fled to the ends of the earth, and she involuntarily bit down on the shrimp he had placed at her lips, chewing it in her own mouth.

  Is it delicious? Next, a magnetic and mellow, pleasant voice floated beside her ear with a magical charm, making her blood surge instantly, and her face turned red-hot in an instant.

  It's delicious. She nodded slightly, and in order to get away from that heart-pounding masculine aura, she tilted her head, her eyes unconsciously glancing around the surroundings.

  My god, it's fine if you don't look, but once you take a glance, the expressions in front of you are simply astonishing and terrifying.

  Only apart from her and Ling Han, the other three people remained still on the spot, their facial expressions changing in a thousand ways.

  Old Mother Mei's eyes stared at her, with a face as dark as Judge Bao, black to the point of perfection. Afraid that this expression was not enough to prove her shock, the Indian-rolled hair behind her was still emitting a wisp of smoke, like a kitchen fire that couldn't get started.

  Leng Ni's expression was even more terrifying, her eyes glaring furiously at Leng Xi, it was unclear whether she was angry or wronged, those bright eyes were filled with a bloody color, the muscles on her cheeks twitching slightly, showing that she was gritting her teeth in hatred, probably at this moment, she hated Leng Xi so much that she wanted to crush his bones and scatter his ashes.

  Leng Long, on the other hand, was slightly different. He first looked at Leng Xi and Ling Han with a hint of surprise, then turned to reveal a gentle smile on his face, which bore the marks of time, and a faintly relaxed expression.

  Seeing such a rich and colorful scene, Leng Xi was startled, her red hot face instantly cooled down with shame, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.

  Tian, Ling Han is Leng Ni's fiancé, but he is so enthusiastic about this little aunt of hers. Leng Ni is naturally angry and doesn't know what kind of trick Ling Han is playing, why he keeps using her to provoke his sister Leng Ni again and again.

  But Leng Xi didn't know that things were far from being as simple as she thought.

  Haha, Han Shao, you're really considerate. My daughter has been stuck to her grandmother since she was a child and only returned home at the age of 19, almost 20. She's suffered a lot, so it's time to spoil her properly. Haha, come on, Han Shao, it's rare for everyone to be together today, I'll toast you a glass. Leng Long broke the silence first, pouring half a cup of red wine into Ling Han's cup and another half cup for himself, raising his glass to clink with Ling Han's.

  Ling Han reluctantly gave face and raised his wine cup.

  Alas... Leng Long drank it all in one gulp, taking advantage of the heat to strike while the iron is hot. Han Shao, when your father was alive, he treated our Cold family with great kindness. You also know that a promise was made between seniors, and you and our Cold family's daughter have a destined relationship. I think...

  Leng Xi's chest tightened, and she perked up her ears. Was Father going to talk about Leng Ni and Ling Han's wedding?

  Are they really going to get married? Leng Xi hadn't forgotten what Leng Ni said that day at the banquet, that Father was going to announce their engagement.

  Leng Xi's pores were all enlarged with tension, and a huge sense of loss fell in his heart.

  In the end he still took his own sister.

  Leng Ni's mouth corners rose with a hint of triumphant smile.

  Damn little girl, even if Ling Han is good to her, she's just a fatherless and motherless wild child. Leng Ni is the legitimate daughter of the Leng family, and in the end, Ling Han's wife can only be Leng Ni!

  The faintly cold and serene lightly swayed the transparent red in the high-footed cup, the smile at the corner of his mouth was as radiant as the morning sun, the deep eyes reflected an inexplicable light, handsome and captivating, waiting calmly for Long's next words.
