"Bro, how does that little clerk know you, and why did she ntion Brother Junxuan? What’s her background?" After the eting ended, Ye Shuyao couldn’t wait to ask Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu didn’t hide anything from her and replied truthfully: "If I’m not mistaken, she is probably Leng Junxuan’s rumored girlfriend recently."
"Her?" Ye Shuyao recalled Su Ruoxi’s reckless and utterly indiscreet behavior just now, and frowned in disdain, "No wonder the Leng Family is so opposed."
Ye Qiu looked at her with amusent: "Why, are you jealous?"
Ye Shuyao gave her older brother a glance and said contemptuously: "With Leng Junxuan’s taste, why would I bother being jealous? Besides, I don’t like him anymore, who he’s into has nothing to do with , does it?"
Seeing that his sister was sincere in her words, Ye Qiu completely put his mind at ease.
While the siblings put the recent drama behind them, on the other side, Su Ruoxi nervously dialed Leng Junxuan’s phone: "Hello, Junxuan."
Leng Junxuan answered the call. His usual stern expression softened, and a touch of tenderness flickered in his eyes: "Xixi, did you miss ?"
Hearing the man’s low and magnetic voice on the phone, Su Ruoxi couldn’t help blushing, and a deep sense of sweetness erged within her. Covering the phone, she smiled happily: "Yeah, I missed you."
"Hehe..." Leng Junxuan stood by the window and chuckled softly, the image of the little woman blushing shyly automatically coming to his mind, "Wait for two more days. I have a task at hand and will be back soon."
"Okay." Since Leng Junxuan got discharged from the hospital, Su Ruoxi hadn’t seen him, and even though they contacted each other daily, it still wasn’t as sweet and blissful as being face to face, kissing and hugging.
After a sweet chat, Leng Junxuan later realized that Su Ruoxi had called at an unusual ti that day, and asked with curiosity: "Xixi, what happened today? Isn’t it work hours now? How co you have ti to call ?"
There was a long silence from Su Ruoxi, and only after Leng Junxuan’s anxious prompting did she share today’s encounter: "Junxuan, I really didn’t an for it to happen, I didn’t expect your friend to suddenly walk out of the office, and I already sincerely apologized, but he seed very angry, and even after I ntioned your na, he still had his subordinate fire . Do you think I’m really clumsy, ssing up everything, no wonder Mrs. Su doesn’t like ."
The lower Su Ruoxi’s voice got as she spoke, the more vividly Leng Junxuan could imagine her looking down about to cry after being aggrieved, making his heart clench.
"Xixi, don’t be sad, it aches my heart." Leng Junxuan comforted her softly, "It’s okay, this is just a small matter, it’s not your fault. Listen, go back and get a good sleep, I’ll help you explain it."
Hearing this promise, Su Ruoxi finally let go of her bewildered heart, but she didn’t want to make things difficult for Junxuan, so she advised: "Junxuan, let’s just forget about it, it was my carelessness to begin with, don’t let it affect the relationship between you friends, I’m fine, I can always find a new job tomorrow!"
Leng Junxuan felt both relieved and heartbroken upon hearing this; his Xixi was always so considerate and kind-hearted, preferring to take on the burden herself and always thinking of others first. So, he comforted her: "It’s okay, such a minor matter won’t affect our friendship. Rest assured and go back to rest, be obedient, alright?"
On the other side, Su Ruoxi also smiled sweetly: "Then you also have to promise to rest well. Your injury hasn’t healed for long, you mustn’t make it worse."
After hanging up, Leng Junxuan rembered what his girlfriend said and felt so displeasure with Ye Qiu’s actions. When Ye Qiu visited him in the hospital last ti, he had clearly introduced Xixi to him, so why did he still fire Xixi without any regard for his face?
Could it be that Ye Qiu is unsatisfied with ? But why?
Is it because of that girl Ye Shuyao? Thinking of the Ye Family’s precious little sister, a flicker of annoyance crossed Leng Junxuan’s eyes.
Didn’t they already make things clear last ti? There’s no way he and Ye Shuyao could end up together! He will never like that capricious little girl who acts recklessly because of her family background.
The more Leng Junxuan thought about it, the more he felt the situation was tricky. Besides, it was not sothing that could be clearly explained over the phone. Anyway, the army’s drills would be over in a couple of days, so he might as well go and explain things in person!
"Junxuan! How co you didn’t even tell you were coming back." Ti quickly brought around Leng Junxuan’s leave, and the first thing he did was return to his girlfriend’s narrow house. Seeing her joyously leap into his arms, he felt that all the hardships he had endured were worth it.
"Did you miss ?" Leng Junxuan held her tight, speaking affectionately, "I missed you."
"I did." Su Ruoxi raised her head to look at him, touching his face stubbled with beard and eyes bloodshot, she said with pity, "Why don’t you rest well!"
"Let hug you and see if you’ve been eating well these days." Leng Junxuan changed the subject and, with both hands, tickled Su Ruoxi’s ribs, lifting her up and bouncing her, then expressed his satisfaction, "Not bad, it seems you’ve been obedient."
"Haha... put down quickly." Su Ruoxi playfully hit the man’s back, her face blushing with shyness.
Mrs. Su, who was outside the door listening to the noise in the room, turned away with a complex expression and heaved a deep sigh. Ever since her daughter started dating this mysterious man, she had lost three jobs. The owners of the small workshops she used to deal with now avoided her as if she were a plague. And with her own health failing, she couldn’t handle heavy labor, and her younger son was still in school. How could they carry on like this?
But seeing her daughter’s good relationship with her boyfriend, she couldn’t bear to break them apart. Her daughter had been sensible and considerate over the years. How could she stand to see her heartbroken? Forget it, she would still go to those communities tomorrow to see. That family couldn’t possibly stop her from even picking up trash, right?
Whenever Leng Junxuan ca back, Zhang Chengyu and the other brothers would always drag Ye Qiu and the rest to welco him. Back when he used to co back once every year and a half from other places, it was manageable, but now he’s in the Capital, and they hold a welco for him every ten days or half a month? What’s going on?
Besides, they’re all grown up now, with their own careers to attend to; they can’t always revolve around Leng Junxuan, can they? But with the Leng Family’s influence and even Ye Qiu attending, no one else dared not to show up. Still, there was a bit of resentnt in their hearts.
"Zhang Chengyu, exactly how many favors has Brother Jun given you? These welco banquets of yours are getting more lavish every ti."
"Exactly, we’re all brothers here, but how co we never see you hosting a welco for any of us?"
Zhang Chengyu was impatient with these words, his voice a bit stern: "What, you don’t want to give Brother Jun face? If you don’t want to be here, you can leave right now."
"What do you an by that?"
"As if I want to be here!"
