Chapter 34: Women, Strange Creatures!

  Leng Xi's hands were in front of him, his scalp numb, as he carefully walked over.

  Ling Han's behavior today is too abnormal. Is it because of what she said yesterday about breaking up with him? Is he still angry now and wants to find ways to tease her again?

  At that time, she was really heartbroken, the child just disappeared like that. Although she still didn't know how long the child had lived inside her body. Hadn't felt the child's breath yet. Hadn't had a chance to experience the taste of being a mother. But after all, it was her own child, fallen from her own body, how could her heart not ache?

  She carefully lifted her eyelids to glance at Ling Han, then immediately lowered her head again. It was as if she were a child who had done something wrong and didn't dare face him. She placed the rose with the hidden fragrance on one side of the dinner table. Leng Xi began to twist her fingers together, lowering her head and blinking repeatedly, all indicating the unease in her heart.

  Ling Han smiled slightly and snapped his fingers, whereupon several servants pushed in a serving cart with steaming hot beefsteaks that had been prepared beforehand, filling the air with an irresistible aroma that made Cold Creek's mouth water uncontrollably. He was indeed hungry.

  "Are you hungry? Eat then. Eating in such an atmosphere doesn't the food taste better?" The thick and rich magnetic voice came from that end.

  Leng Xi shrugged slightly, raised her eyes and carefully glanced at him, checking if there were any signs of anger in his eyes. It seemed everything was calm, so she dared to ask with a relieved heart, "Is today a special day? Why are we having such a romantic dinner?" Her black, spirited eyes blinked repeatedly, looking at him with extreme curiosity.

  Ling Han's action of cutting the steak paused for a moment. He smiled slightly and said casually, "I heard that women all like this kind of romantic way. I don't." Women, strange creatures, have a penchant for so-called romance. Ling Han found it amusing in his heart.

  He is creating romance for her. Will he also be romantic? Such a cold and arrogant person will also be romantic.

  Leng Xi's face fell, and before he knew it, a blush had spread across his cheeks. He felt rather embarrassed.

  "I actually quite like it. It's just too luxurious. It seems like a waste." Leng Xi blushed and picked up the knife and fork.

  It turned out that all of this was just because he liked her, and there wasn't any special meaning to it. A warm feeling flowed through his heart, containing the anger he had previously felt towards her.

  She's like that. As long as others are a little bit good to her, she feels happy enough to overflow with joy. Even if others had many faults before, they can all be forgiven.

  Her eyes lightly turned around. The intangible warmth on the dinner table flowed in the air, and Ling Han's mood inexplicably opened up.

  "Who would have thought that his mood would also clear up because of a woman." "Enjoy the present, such opportunities are not always available." Ling Han handed over a piece of steak and started chewing lightly.

  Pale thin lips, sexy and alluring. It turns out that Ling Han eats so elegantly, so attractive, noble and handsome. Leng Xi accidentally glanced at Ling Han's lips across from him, staring fixedly.

  Suddenly realized what she was thinking about. Her face suddenly turned bright red, hot and rising. She hurriedly lowered her head in shame, but her heart had already soared to the clouds.

  Ling Han actually understands gentleness, he should be a good person, he knows how to take care of people, even if he's occasionally hateful, that's just his bad temper, Leng Xi defined him in her heart.

  ……

  She had been resting at home for nearly a month and was so idle that she felt like she was going to grow mold all over her body. She finally got Ling Han's permission to go back to the skyscraper and continue working on her unfinished interior design project.

  Off for many days. First day of work. Leng Xi got up very early. Afraid of being late. As for work, she has always been positive and optimistic.

  Ling Han also got up early today. It seems like there's something important going on. He even went to work earlier than usual.

  "Shao Xi, are things ready? 5 o'clock this afternoon. You must bring the person to the designated location. Only success is allowed, no failure." Ling Han walked down the stairs with a briefcase, his expression serious as he made the call. A hint of cold and gloomy ice flashed in his deep eyes, exuding an aura of a king who would stop at nothing to win.

  They say that a man who works diligently is the most charming. At this moment, Leng Xi deeply felt it. Looking at Ling Han's tall and slender figure, he had an inexplicable aura. His handsome face was firm and determined as he walked towards him. Leng Xi felt very satisfied in his heart. A warm current called fulfillment overflowed from his eyes, and the gaze on Ling Han turned into affection.

  Ling Han didn't have time to bother with her and walked straight out under her infatuated gaze.

  "Hey, Ling Han. You haven't eaten yet...". Leng Xi came back to his senses and only then realized that the direction Ling Han was heading in wasn't right.

  Responding to her was a steady departure, a calm and broad back view.

  Lengxiu pouted. What's been keeping you so busy that you can't even eat? A small pang of sadness fell in her heart.

  "Finally came to work. This position has been reserved for you, the company hasn't recruited another interior designer." In the manager's office, Leng Xi wore a black professional skirt suit, standing in front of Chen Chao with a smile, handing over her work. Chen Chao still had his 80s-style hairdo, calmly saying without any excessive flattery or condescending attitude, only showing the responsibility and demeanor that a manager should have towards their subordinates.

  Those who can stay in Linghan Company for a few years and sit back and relax are not relying on a little cleverness to survive, nor are they relying on those sycophantic flatteries to stand firm. People without real strength cannot survive in the harsh environment of Lingyun Group where only the fittest survive.

  Chen Chao's eyes told Leng Xi this truth.

  Leng Xi smiled and said, "Don't worry, boss. I will do my best to design every plan well. You won't regret hiring me." Leng Xi spoke calmly and confidently, without being arrogant or complacent, but with a sense of self-assurance and determination.

  "Alright, alright, I'll do it well. Right, because the workload of an interior designer is quite large, the company has considered the physical condition of employees and recruited an assistant interior designer. She will report to you later." Chen Chao added responsibly.

  "Alright. I'll go out and work first." Leng Xi responded and retreated.

  Back to my own office, sat down, tidied up the documents on the desk, it's been a while since I came here, everything is still the same, her drawings are still spread out on the desk, those market research reports are also scattered all over the desktop.

  Leng Xi couldn't help but sigh. Alas, it seems I'm really a bit careless. The documents are scattered all over the place and I don't even know how to tidy them up.

  She knows she has a bad habit, which is when she's deeply engaged in drawing, her whole person becomes immersed in the paper. Everything outside seems to have nothing to do with her. And it gets even worse. When she's stuck on details, she'll anxiously scratch her own hair or grab things around her. It's really too careless.

  It's time to find an assistant to help oneself.

  "Knock knock" Just as she was thinking about it, the office door was knocked on. She immediately came to her senses. Speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrives. "Come in..."

  "Hello, I'm new here..." He respectfully greeted Leng Xi, who was sitting at the desk on the other side. As his line of sight passed over the computer screen, he saw Leng Xi's face clearly and his words came to an abrupt halt. The smile on his face also froze slightly.

  "Oh, hello......" Leng Xi also withdrew her gaze and looked at the newcomer. Seeing that face, she was slightly stunned. She quickly recalled in her mind and finally smiled with a hint of surprise. "Ji Xin Mei, you're Bai Xiao You's friend Ji Xin Mei." Leng Xi remembered that they had met before at the hospital.

  Ji Xin wore a casual loose-fitting pants and a purple T-shirt, standing there with an air of elegance. She received Leng Xi's enthusiasm with a brief, stiff smile, then forced another unnatural smile. "Leng Xi, hello. I'm your new assistant. If you have anything to do, just let me know." Even when she smiled, there was a natural aloofness about her, as if there was always a barrier between her and anyone else. Even if someone was right next to her, they couldn't get close to her eyes.

  Ji Xin Meng was an orphan since childhood, adopted by a man she called Third Uncle, living a seemingly simple life, but her heart was cold and indifferent, not good at interacting with people.

  "En en, alright. From now on, we'll fight side by side, with our hearts as one." Leng Xi excitedly stood up and walked to Ji Xin's side, extending his hand and gazing at her with a joyful smile.

  Life is wonderful when you can ride alongside friends and fight side by side. It's exhilarating to have a small horse galloping in your heart, like a raging torrent.

  She glanced at Leng Xi's slender hand stretched out, and Ji Xin Mei hesitated for a moment before passively extending her own hand, which was then grasped by Leng Xi's palm. "Thanks to the designer's concern..." Ji Xin Mei's clear eyes dimmed slightly, with an inexplicable glimmer flowing through them.

  "Just call me Xi'er from now on, calling me designer is too distant and too formal..." Leng Xi smiled brightly, the dimples at the corners of his mouth were exceptionally charming.

  Ji Xin Mo forced a smile and stopped talking.

  All day at work, Leng Xi was buried in the drawings with her head down. She drew very seriously. Fine beads of sweat kept appearing on her forehead. At the same time, she was also very annoyed. One moment she would scratch her hair, and the next she would throw files around. Ji Xin Mei didn't say a word, quietly tidying up beside her.

  Four thirty. Off work. Leng Xi and Ji Xin came out of the design building together.

  A taxi happened to stop in front of them, as if waiting for passengers, inviting them to get in.

  "Ji Xin Mo, our homes are on the same way. Why don't we take a ride together?" said Leng Xi in a friendly manner.

  Ji Xin nodded slightly and sat down in the back seat first. The car didn't start until Leng Xi sat down, then it immediately started moving.

  The driver in front didn't say a word, just focused on driving. It wasn't until they had driven for a short distance that Leng Xi felt strange. The driver hadn't even asked where they were going, so why was he driving?

  "Driver, would you mind going to Shengli Street first and then to Lingyuan Villa..." Lengxi reminded him.

  The driver still didn't say a word. No response. On the contrary, the speed of the car suddenly accelerated.

  "Ah." Leng Xi couldn't bear the habitual urge. Let out a scream. Looked at the person in front with terror. The driver's back was wide and strong. Wore a black sportswear. Had a duck tongue hat on. The brim was pressed very low. Made it impossible to see his face. But made him look even more terrifying and eerie.

  "Stop the car, stop it quickly." Leng Xi's eyes were wide open like an ancient spring. She let out a loud cry of surprise and frantically looked back. Seeing the situation, she became even more terrified. If she wasn't mistaken, the black car that was closely following them from behind... was tailing them.

  What's going on here?
