Lang Ruoxian has been busy recently. He has antic.i.p.ated the matter in the mountain villa but it took him quite some efforts to clear up the mess. However, this time he has successfully expelled Deng Jingjing out of the company and got rid of several henchmen of Lang Hongyue. He did kill two birds with one stone.
"What… what are you talking about?" Yan Hua blinks her eyes.
"You tell me."
Realizing that he is talking about Lang Jia and Rong Haoyu, Yan Hua pushes away the man, "You reminded me before. If I still get framed up by them, I must be too stupid."
"I know you are clever and that you did great this time." Lang Ruoxian frowns, "I am asking why you didn"t tell me."
"Actually, they two were being desperate." Yan Hua says without answering his question, "In the villa, they can find too little chances."
Lang Ruoxian stares at her until Yan Hua gives in, "Fine! I know you are busy so I didn"t tell you. Moreover, if I tell you, you will surely ask Rong Haoyu to leave, but the focus is Lang Jia."
Even if Rong Haoyu leaves, there may be Zhang Haoyu, Li Haoyu, etc.
"I can keep Lang Jie abroad. So can I get Lang Jia out of home." Lang Ruoxian gets closer to her, "I didn"t do that because I didn"t know she was so stupid too."
Indeed, even Yan Hua doesn"t know why Lang Jia framed her up when she came back this time.
"I guess it must be Lang Jie"s matter that makes her terrified." Lang Ruoxian twitches his mouth, "She regards herself as infallible so she wants to take the initiative to gain the upper hand."
Yan Hua sighs, "Luckily, the women in your family are all not smart. Otherwise, I really don"t know how to cope with."
"Turn to me if this happens again." Lang Ruoxian raises his arm to touch her face. Then tender feeling of touching is so tempting to him.
Seeing that Yan Hua doesn"t resist, he holds her in his arms, "Stay there. Let me hold you for a while."
The man sounds a bit imploring. Yan Hua puts down the reaching-out hand and instead, leans against his chest with a red face.
"Give me some more time." Lang Ruoxian says to her ears, "I will confess to you in public."
Yan Hua feels so warm but she still says sensibly, "It"s impossible. I am married now."
"Then get a divorce." As the man speaks, the warm air he breathes out lingers around her ear. She can"t help shivering.
"You know that if I divorce, I will lose the custody of Gungun, so I can never divorce." Yan Hua reminds him, "I believe that you know that better than me."
Lang Ruoxian sighs, "Yan Hua, why are you always so sensible and smart? Can"t you be less smart?"
"I am quite stupid." Yan Hua pushes him away, "Otherwise, things won"t become like this."
If she is really sensible, she will not be flipped.
"Promise me." Lang Ruoxian holds her hands, "Don"t give others opportunities. Wait for me."
Yan Hua gives a smile suddenly, which is more dazzling than the sunlight in winter. Lang Ruoxian feels so softhearted and there is a moment when he wants to place the woman into his pocket and takes her with him everywhere. He doesn"t want to separate with her anymore.
"I suddenly feel great about your current ident.i.ty…" He touches her face, "At least, no one dare mess with you."
Yan Hua looks at the time, "It"s time to go out."
Then she gazes at him, "Don"t bring me to such a place to talk, okay? I feel as if being a thief."
"It"s not being a thief but having a love affair." Lang Ruoxian says shamelessly, "I find it quite exciting. Next time we can find other places to have a try."
Yan Hua rolls her eyes and pushes away the man to walk out of the washroom.
"Hua…" The man pulls her arm at the door.
Yan Hua looks him in the eye and her heart skips a beat, "What… What do you want to say?"
"Keep what I said in mind. Do tell me if anything comes up next time." Lang Ruoxian pushes aside her hair on the forehead and fondles her cheeks for a while.
He loves her so much that he cannot take his hands off her. It"s a pity that he can"t ask more. He doesn"t want to scare Yan Hua.
"Okay, noted." Yan Hua pushes away his hands seriously to show that she is not nervous at all.
However, her erratic eyes betray her. Lang Ruoxian laughs, "Go back to your friend. I won"t go with you then. I have a meeting to attend later. When I finish my work at hands, I may be able to catch up with Gungun"s birthday."
They leave one by one. Neither of them sees Xue Juan walk out of the screen of the corridor.
"How is it possible? How is it possible?" Xue Juan looks around flurriedly and walks around twice to calm herself down.
How is that impossible? Yan Hua is so gorgeous. Even if she is the wife of Lang Ruoxian"s brother, he is flipped anyway.
"No!" Xue Juan shakes her head, "It must be that Yan Hua seduces Mr. Lang!"
She looks at Yan Hua"s back resentfully and follows her with her fists clenched.
"Where is Mr. Lang?" Noticing that she comes back alone, Fei Ying asks while craning her neck to peer.
Yan Hua says, "He has gone back to the company."
"Um, what did I say? Doesn"t he know that?" Fei Ying suddenly lowers her voice to ask her, "Is there anything going on with you?"
"What do you mean?" Yan Hua feigns ignorance.
Fei Ying rolls her eyes at her and yet keeps silent when she just wants to speak.
"Yan Hua, Mrs. Fei!" Xue Juan greets them from a few steps away.
Yan Hua raises up her head to express her surprise, "What a coincidence! Are you alone?"
"Yeah, it happens that I have something to ask you. Is it convenient to you now?" Xue Juan says awkwardly, "It"s about the parent-child education cla.s.s."
Fei Ying raises her chin, "Sure it is convenient. Have a seat!"
"Here is the case. My colleague"s child wants to have the parent-child education cla.s.s too. Since I live nearby, she asks me to see how the environment is." Xue Juan says after sitting down, "It"s so lucky that I meet you here."
Yan Hua and Fei Ying are quite satisfied with the parent-child education cla.s.s, mainly because it"s not far from their homes. Having introduced the basic condition to her, Yan Hua asks out of kindness, "If your colleague lives far away from here, I suggest giving it a second thought."
"Yeah, she is right!" Fei Ying agrees, "Or your colleague may not want to come over from faraway if it is too hot or too cold. Then the cla.s.ses are just wasted."
Xue Juan appears like she has taken it down, "Okay, I will tell her later. Thank you! Without you, I wouldn"t know so many things to attend to."
"You are welcome." Fei Ying takes a look at her watch, "It"s time that cla.s.s is over. Let"s go over!"
Xue Juan says goodbye to them two at the door, watching them go across the street. She doesn"t leave until she stares at Yan Hua for a while.
Lang Ruoxian is in good mood all day long. Xiaokai notices that he looks so delighted, so he comes near to ask, "Young Master, did you go to meet with Miss Yan?"
"Is all your work done?" Lang Ruoxian withdraws his smile, "If you are so free, go to amend the proposal about the cooperation with the Fei Consortium."
Shu Sheng says indifferently aside, "Don"t ask him to amend it, or I have to redo it later."
"I am not good at it, after all!" Xiaokai is not convinced, "How about us doing some target practice in the shooting range? I am bored to death for staying in the company every day."
"Then you may as well be transferred to Africa." Shu Sheng says, "I can a.s.sure you that you will live a colorful life there."
Lang Ruoxian looks at him, "Do you want to go?"
"No, no! I would rather…"
"How about you investigate through the line of Miss Yan?" Shu Sheng suggests, "The hired people are always not as dedicated to the work as our men."
Lang Ruoxian thinks for a while, "You go do it after the matter of the mountain villa is settled."
"Okay…" As long as he doesn"t need to go to Africa, any work is fine by him.
He is supposed to change shifts with Shu Sheng and can"t leave him wandering around…
"Mr. Lang!" Someone knocks on the door. It"s a woman.
Xiaokai wonders, "Do we have any woman a.s.sistant?"
"Oh, it"s you." He opens the door only to see Xue Juan standing at the door, who is carrying a pile of doc.u.ments in her arms.
Xue Juan hastens to say, "Xiaokai, something happened to Andy"s daughter in the kindergarten so he dashed there just now. He asked me to bring the doc.u.ments here when he was leaving."
Her heart is pounding. Just now Andy wanted to send the doc.u.ments here before leaving. It happened that she pa.s.sed by so she offered to help. At first, Andy was not rest a.s.sured but upon thinking of Xue Juan"s good working performance, he agreed to let her do it.
"Thank you." Xiaokai takes the doc.u.ment over and smiles when he sees Xue Juan seemly wants to say something but holds back, "Do you have other things? Spill."
Xue Juan takes out a key ring from her pocket, "I ran into Miss Yan at the café door. It seems that she left this behind."
"Come in." Hearing the name of Yan Hua, Lang Ruoxian raises his head to watch her.
Xue Juan walks in the office to put the key ring on the desk, "I was going to ask Rong to return this to Miss Yan, but on second thought, it is more convenient to ask you to give it back to her."
Lang Ruoxian takes up the key ring. It is of the brand that Yan Hua likes indeed.
"By the way, if it were not Miss Yan"s, please remember to bring it back so that I can return it to the café and then they can help find the owner."
"You are not sure whose key ring it is?" Lang Ruoxian frowns.
Xue Juan hastens to say, "Because I didn"t see Miss Yan dropped it with my own eyes. I caught sight of it after Ms. Yan left, so…"
"Noted." Lang Ruoxian puts the key ring into his pocket.
Xue Juan clenches her hands so tightly that her nail leaves a crescent print in the palm. Does he like the woman indeed? He is so careful to put the key ring away even if he is not sure whether it belongs to her.
"Then I will go out first." Xue Juan gives a perfect smile and then turns around to leave the office.
Shu Sheng closes the file, "Young Master, are you going back to Lang"s mansion today?"
"Yes." Lang Ruoxian touches his pocket.
Though they just met in the morning, now he has another excuse to see her.
"Make an appointment with Fei Yi to sign the contract tomorrow. It"s time to settle the mountain villa case."
In the Lang"s mansion, after dinner, Yan Hua is sitting in the living room, listening to Lang Cha talking about the arrangement for Gungun"s birthday when she hears the sound of a car engine at the gate.
"Is Ruoxian back?" Lang Cha looks up and asks. Butler Lee has opened the door, shouting towards this direction, "Childe Ruoxian is back!"
Gungun who is playing on the nearby carpet stands up immediately to toddle towards the door.
"Uncle!" He reaches his hands to ask for hugging as soon as Lang Ruoxian comes in.
Lang Ruoxian holds Gungun up, "Gungun, are you good these days? Do you listen to your mommy?"
"Gungun is good!" Gungun rubs his face against Lang Ruoxian"s, "Grandpa, not good!"
Lang Cha bursts into laughter, "My great-grandson has a great memory, who knows informing against me at such a young age."
Yan Hua twitches her lips and doesn"t understand how these two things are related.
"I haven"t eaten supper yet." Lang Ruoxian walks towards Yan Hua and says to her while staring at her.
