It was early in the morning and the fog outside the window was thick. A few branches could be vaguely seen. The scenery was so beautiful that it was hard to shake.
Lan Yanxi turned over in a daze, her two small hands habitually holding onto something. But this time, she was holding onto something as warm as a furnace. She immediately woke up.
Her long, feather-like eyelashes trembled twice before she lifted them away. What entered her eyes was the gentle gaze of a man.
Lan Yanxi"s mouth was slightly agape. She looked down and found that she was hugging onto one of his st.u.r.dy arms. She quickly let go of it as if it was scalding hot and pushed it back to his side.
"Morning!" The man seemed to have woken up a long time ago, but he looked lazy when he woke up. Even his voice was a little hoa.r.s.e.
Lan Yanxi smiled in embarra.s.sment and pretended to be calm as she covered herself up. She stretched out her small hand and pulled on the robe beside her. Then, she quickly put it on. She tied it with a belt and looked at the man lying in a casual ma
er, "Why aren"t you going to work yet?"
"I have other arrangements for the afternoon. There"s no need to rush there!" The man"s deep and gentle voice sounded.
"Oh, dating a beauty?" Lan Yanxi joked very early in the morning.
"If I wanted to date you, would you consider taking a leave of absence?" the man asked.
"But I just went to the new department and applied for leave the next day. Would I not have a good impression of it?" Lan Yanxi was actually considering this matter.
"Then forget it, let"s meet again next time when I"m free!" Ling Mofeng also sat up. He was wearing a dark pajamas when he slept last night. At this moment, he stood up and walked towards the bathroom as if he was not afraid of the cold.
"Sigh, wait a moment!" When Lan Yanxi heard his words, she was immediately enlivened and ran to block his path. "I"m taking a leave of absence right now. Where are we going?"
Ling Mofeng just wanted to tease her a little, but he didn"t expect her to be serious. His handsome face flashed an apologetic look: "Yanxi, my noon schedule is very important, you can ask for leave, but I might not!"
"You"re lying to me?" Lan Yanxi"s pair of beautiful eyes instantly became twice as big as before as she huffed and puffed, "I don"t want to make an appointment with you!"
"Yanxi, don"t be angry. I was wrong, I shouldn"t joke with you like that!" Ling Mofeng"s face turned anxious. He stretched out his long arm. It was the injured hand.
Lan Yanxi turned around and saw that it was his hand pulling her wrist. She could neither shake it nor ignore it. With a cold expression, she said, "I"m not angry!"
"But your expression is clearly ??"
"Give me a present and I"ll pretend that this never happened!" Lan Yanxi pushed his palm away after she finished her sentence and left with large strides.
Ling Mofeng was stu
ed. "??"
This woman was bold enough to ask for a gift herself. However, she was also straightforward and cute, making people not need to think twice to guess. Ling Mofeng"s thin lips slightly curled up as he started to think about what gift to give her.
When Lan Yanxi went to work, she found out at noon that Ling Mofeng had accompanied the foreign amba.s.sador to play golf.
In order to break the rumors about his injuries, the news had spread internally. Others who heard it felt lucky that the Vice President was strong first, but when Lan Yanxi heard it, all of the blood in her body seemed to freeze.
Ling Mofeng"s arm was injured. His wound was still bleeding the day before yesterday, why did he accompany others to play golf today?
Are you tired of living?
Lan Yanxi"s mind was buzzing. She could not hear what people were saying around her. She only had one thought, Ling Mofeng had gone crazy.
"Sigh ??"
Lan Yanxi lowered her head and hastily walked forward. She b.u.mped into a person who dropped a blueprint in his hand. Lan Yanxi was stu
ed and quickly apologized.
"It"s okay, it"s just that the next time you walk, I have to bring your eyes with me!" A melodious voice of a woman sounded, neither cold nor hot.
Lan Yanxi"s gaze swept across the blueprints and found that they were all famous atlases. Hearing this female voice, she suddenly raised her head and saw a face that she seemed to have seen before.
"Be more careful next time, this is Miss Wan Qianqian, she"s the painter we hired!" A staff member beside Lan Yanxi reminded her in a low voice.
Lan Yanxi hurriedly nodded. "I"m really sorry. I was thinking about something just now. Next time, I"ll pay attention!"
"It"s okay, I"m fine!" Wan Qianqian"s gaze swept across Lan Yanxi"s face and instantly recognized her. If everyone in the office didn"t know that she was Ling Mofeng"s fiancee, then Wan Qianqian knew it because not only did she know about her existence, but she also knew her looks and the relations.h.i.+p between her and Ling Mofeng.
Lan Yanxi glanced at Wan Qianqian and realized that she was staring at him with an unpleasant expression. It was not a friendly look.
Wan Qianqian sneered as she watched Lan Yanxi leave.
Lan Yanxi was a pretty girl, but there were plenty of pretty girls in the office. They were all elegant and knowledgeable, so it was not easy for Lan Yanxi to pick them out here.
Wan Qianqian felt that the only thing she lost to was her age.
She knew that Lan Yanxi had just turned twenty-three this year, and she was soon going to be twenty-six. The difference of three years wasn"t that obvious between women, but it was still a hurdle she couldn"t overcome.
Wan Qianqian had her merits as she lifted her long black hair and looked like a mature and charming woman.
Ling Mofeng had a steady personality and was young and experienced. He probably liked women like her, who were confident, elegant, and successful in their careers. It was impossible for him to like a headstrong and headstrong young miss like Lan Yanxi.
Thus, Wan Qianqian was full of confidence.
When Lan Yanxi returned to her office, she was still restless and in no mood to work.
She kept a close eye on Ling Mofeng"s situation. However, other than knowing that he had gone to play with the foreign leaders, there was nothing else to say.
The weather wasn"t too good, so the golf course was definitely cold. He was speechless. Why was he playing in such a cold weather?
Could it be that someone was plotting against Ling Mofeng? Trying to test if he was hurt?
After thinking about it for a while, he still couldn"t think of a reason, so he decided not to think about it anymore.
Inside the villa in Ji Family Villa, Tang Youyou and the two little fellows dressed like buns as they made snowmen in the garden.
The three of them had gone on vacation early, enjoying the pleasure and leisure of the day.
"Mommy, my brother brought snow to smash my face. It"s so cold!" Ji Xiaonai ran over to Tang Youyou while crying and complained.
"I didn"t do it on purpose!" Ji Xiaorui was afraid of being scolded by Mommy, so he immediately ran over to explain.
"You did it on purpose, hmph!" Ji Xiaonai"s two small hands were inserted into her waist, but because her clothes were too thick, her two small hands couldn"t bend over, making her look like a small ball, cute and fu
y.
Ji Xiaorui shrugged his shoulders with a look of "what can you do".
"Stupid Scoundrel!" Ji Xiaonai bent over and grabbed a handful of snow, directly throwing it at Ji Xiaorui. Ji Xiaorui was already prepared and ran away like a wisp of smoke. Ji Xiaonai immediately dragged her heavy body and chased after him.
Tang Youyou ignored the two kids. She was designing models for her snowman pile.
"Mommy, are you piling up Daddy"s land?" Unable to catch up with her brother, Ji Xiaonai ran over again with a huff and pointed at Tang Youyou"s masterpiece as she asked.
"Yeah, does it look like it?" Tang Youyou asked her daughter with a smile.
"It doesn"t look like it at all. Daddy isn"t that ugly, and he isn"t that short either!" Ji Xiaonai commented seriously.
Tang Youyou looked at the sky speechlessly. How was she going to explain such an abstract thing to her daughter?
"Mommy, where is my brother and I?" Ji Xiaonai walked around the snowman. When she didn"t notice her brother and the snowman, she immediately asked with her small mouth.
"Ugh ??" Didn"t you and your brother just build your own snowman? I didn"t ?? "
Ji Xiaorui stood far away and smiled, "Idiot Xiaonai, you still don"t know? In Mommy"s heart, Daddy already has a feeling of existence more than us! "
Ji Xiaonai"s pair of big black eyes immediately became watery as her small mouth became flat. "Mommy doesn"t love Xiaonai anymore?"
Tang Youyou immediately rubbed a s...o...b..ll and threw it to her son who was speaking randomly. "I told you to work more and speak less."
Ji Xiaorui quickly dodged and burst into laughter.
Tang Youyou quickly knelt down and gently kissed her daughter"s forehead. "Xiaonai, you have always been the most important to Mommy."
"Then between me and dad, who is more important?" the little guy asked, blinking his big eyes.
"Of course it"s you!" Tang Youyou coaxed her.
At this moment, a dejected voice came from behind him, "It seems that I am the least important in this family!"
