Leng Yuan smiled unnaturally, "I didn't even know you were here. I came here because last time, the servant said that the water pipe here was broken, so I came over to take a look."

"Oh, it's like this. Come in first." Lady Xu opened the door and asked, "Did you just come here from the company or from home?"

Leng Yuan walked in and stood by Lady Xu's side. "I came from the house and just happened to hear about it from a servant."

"Why are you here?" Leng Yuan pretended not to know, "I was wondering why you weren't at home and didn't go to the company. I didn't expect you to be here."

Lady Xu nodded and said blandly, "Your brother is out and I don't know when he will come back. I thought it would be boring not to go to the company, so I told my father that I would be here and bring some friends to stay with me."

She played it lightly and did not explain the matter between Leng Lie and her to Leng Yuan. There were some things that she could explain clearly, but they were useless.

After Leng Yuan entered, he took a look around the room and strolled around. He seemed to be looking at the room, but his gaze was fixated on Lady Xu.

Lady Xu who was picking the vegetables seemed to have thought of something. She turned her head and said to Leng Yuan, "Leng Yuan, this is my friend. His name is Mei Juan."

Leng Yuan shifted his gaze to Mei Juan and nodded. "Mei Juan is a very pleasant name. My name is Leng Yuan, I'm Leng Lie's younger brother."

Mejuan bared her eight teeth. "Hello."

"Hello."

After the two of them said hello, they both became embarrassed. Should they still say something?

Mejuan felt that there was nothing much to say, so she immediately fled.

"Leng Yuan, are you going to eat here or at home?"

Without even thinking about it, Leng Yuan blurted out, "I'll eat here."

Mejuan was a little confused. The gentle man in front of her was looking at her with a complicated gaze. However, he was Leng Lie's younger brother. Even though he was a half-brother, he was also related by blood. To fall in love with a beauty, this man must be suffering internally, right?

As she walked to the side of Lady Xu, Mei Juan winked at her, her meaning clear. Lady Xu could feel it too. Leng Yuan's eyes did not seem to hide anything, but instead appeared to be calm. This made her extremely flustered.

She couldn't afford these things. Moreover, it was such a complicated relationship.

Her tired heart sank. She could only hope that Leng Yuan would wake up sooner and understand that it was completely impossible for them to be together. He wanted to have a good chat with Leng Yuan, but Leng Yuan avoided him. When he fled, she was too embarrassed to say anything.

At this moment, Leng Yuan was here. He hoped that he would be able to leave after this meal in order to prevent others from misunderstanding.

Leng Yuan walked to the other side of the sofa and sat down. His phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Lu Yanyun. He did not hang up or answer it, leaving the phone ringing like this.

Because it was silent, neither Lady Xu nor Mei Juan could hear him.

"Juan'er, go sit. I want to fry vegetables now."

"Alright."

Mejuan also sat down on the sofa. Leng Yuan smiled and moved it a little.

The TV show was playing. Mejuan's eyes were focused on the TV, but her attention was not on the TV show.

Leng Yuan also felt uneasy. After all, the two of them could be considered strangers. They did not have the same circle of friends, nor did they have the same topic of conversation.

"Are you married?" Mejuan wanted to find a topic to talk about, but she regretted it the moment she said it.

Embarrassed, she didn't know where to put her hands. She forced a smile and said, "About that, I'm sorry …"

Leng Yuan, however, did not take it to heart. "I'm married. I've lived with my wife for a few years."

Mei Juan was stunned. She did not expect Leng Yuan to answer her question so straightforwardly and without the slightest hesitation. With this, she let go of the topic to ask.

"You two should have a good relationship with each other, right?"

Leng Yuan gave Mei Juan a sidelong glance and nodded.

Mejuan was thinking, if the relationship between husband and wife is not bad, why does he still like a beauty? It would be difficult for a beauty to live in the Leng Clan. If they were to have this sort of relationship again, would they even need to live this long?

There was a message in her words, "Since you have a good relationship, that's a good thing. Nowadays, there aren't many good men left. You and your wife have a good relationship.

"Women are strange creatures. Once you marry this man, you will have to spend your whole life thinking about it. Very few people would choose to quit halfway, unless the man is too inhuman. These days, desire is rampant. Men who have a bit of money like to play with women are often the ones who abandon their wives. "

"You have an imposing aura and a successful career, but you are still able to have such a good relationship with your wife. You are truly a good man. A good man is a man who wholeheartedly treats his wife. Do you think I'm right? "

Among the lines of Mei Juan's words, she hoped that Leng Yuan would remember her wife's good points and not think about things that were useless to her. This way, she would give both parties a lot of pressure.

Leng Yuan frowned as he understood Mei Juan's intention. But he was unable to control himself.

In the blink of an eye, he felt that he was missing something when he couldn't see the beauty. Something was wrong with his entire body, as he wanted to see her.

He had thought that he loved his wife the most, that he could control his emotions and emotions, that he could control this special feeling, but he had never imagined that his heart would always be led away, even if that person had inadvertently intervened.

Leng Yuan looked at Lady Xu. That person's back was so familiar. Since when did he like to stand behind her and look at her? Perhaps it was when she first came to the Leng Clan. She couldn't remember when exactly, but this figure still lingered in her heart, accompanied by that smile and that stubborn pleading.

Seeing Leng Yuan act like this, Mei Juan sighed in her heart. It's over … This man was hopeless. She played the part of a husband and wife, but it did not affect the man's expression in the slightest.

He couldn't help but sigh with emotion at the unique qualities that a beautiful woman possessed.

The words of Mei Juan did not reach Leng Yuan's ears. He only focused on looking at Lady Xu. This undisguised emotion made Mei Juan's heart clench violently.

Being liked by such a man, a beauty was very dangerous. Even if Leng Lie was abnormal, how could this man's wife explain it? There were some things that needed to be done clearly. One mistake was to fall into a deep abyss and be smashed to smithereens.

After Leng Yuan left, she felt that it was necessary to talk to her sister.

Time to eat." "As soon as she called out, Leng Yuan rushed to her side and took the plate from her.

Lady Xu shook her head. "No need, you go sit."

Seeing the sullen face of Lady Xu, Leng Yuan did not continue. Mejuan walked over and said to him, "Sit down. We are in charge of food today. You don't need to worry about other matters."

Hearing this, Leng Yuan did not continue speaking.

The busy back of Lady Xu was reflected in her black eyes.

After a few moments of busyness, Lady Xu placed the steaming hot dishes on the table and the chopsticks before sitting down.

Leng Yuan picked up his chopsticks, looked at the dishes, and said, "Sister-in-law, these are all things you like to eat."

That one sentence caused her heart to skip a beat.

"Try it, my cooking skills are not as good as the chefs in my family."

"Nope." Leng Yuan picked up a piece of meat and placed it into Lady Xu's bowl, "You eat more."

"Thank you," said Lady Xu lightly.

Mejuan's face twitched, feeling that the current atmosphere was extremely bizarre to the extreme.

Looking at Leng Yuan, she couldn't help but think, just what was this man thinking? Just from that action just now, no matter who saw it, they would have doubted it. She could not believe what would happen if Leng Lie was present, or if Leng Yuan's wife was present.

Didn't you tear her to shreds on the spot? But, the beauty didn't do anything wrong, how was he going to settle this account?

After eating so much that Mei Juan and Lady Xu felt disgusted, he thought to himself that Leng Yuan would finish his meal quickly and then leave.

It wasn't easy for him to look forward to Leng Yuan finishing his meal, but Leng Yuan seemed to have no intention of returning to the Leng Clan.

"Sister-in-law, do you need to move or repair light bulbs?"

"Nope."

"Then I'll take a look at the tap."

Lady Xu, "..."

After saying that, Leng Yuan walked away, leaving Lady Xu at a loss.

Leng Yuan's liking had already become a burden on her, how could she explain it to him clearly?

Seeing Leng Yuan going upstairs, Mei Juan walked leisurely to the side of Lady Xu. "Beauty, this person is odd. You must stay away from him. This relationship is not simple."

Lady Xu shook Mei Juan's hand and said, "Juan'er, there are some things that I want to explain but am unable to do so."

How could she explain it to him? The last time they had a simple conversation, he had immediately fled without giving her a chance to explain herself.

Mejuan felt that it was too complicated, and she had cut through the mess quickly. She could not delay this matter, or else she would be less and less clear about it.

After Leng Yuan came down, he bid farewell to Lady Xu. Before leaving, he had her walk out to see him off. The two of them walked under the bright lights. A man and a woman were walking under the light.

The moon was bright and sparse, the stars scattered, and the breeze was cool and breezy.

After they left, Lady Xu said, "Hurry up and go back. It's already so late."

"I'll send you here. I'll be back in a few days, so don't look for me." The meaning behind Lady Xu's words was obvious.

Not waiting for Leng Yuan to speak, she turned around and was about to leave.

The shadow on the ground only saw one hand clenching the other. Lady Xu was panicking and quickly flung Leng Yuan's hands away, "Leng Yuan, I'm your sister-in-law. Men and women shouldn't be so intimate with each other. There are some things that you should know better than to do."

"Beauty, listen to me …"

"Beauty?" "I'm your sister-in-law, you can't call me by my name."

Leng Yuan did not know what to say. He understood why Lady Xu was so agitated at this moment.

"Sister-in-law, I love you. When you chose to say it at such a time, I know that it was very wrong. I also believe that you would have felt it very early on. After all, loving a person's eyes cannot be hidden. "

"Leng Yuan, my attitude is very clear. It is impossible between us, even without the existence of your big brother. In the Leng Clan, I have already lived a very careful life. Don't let this increase my pressure and fear. "

Leng Yuan shook his head, "No, sister-in-law. If you follow me, you will definitely not be bullied in the Leng Clan. Don't you have the letter of agreement with your big brother? After you two come into contact with each other, you can totally accept me. "

Lady Xu felt that her heart was in trouble. What on earth was Leng Yuan thinking? Are all rich people good at this? Are you all too sick to understand what she's saying?
