Chapter 184: Confirm His Intentions
In the VIP suite on the top floor of the Jiangcheng Hotel, a business reception was being held. All the men present were in suits.
Leng Xiao was dressed in a silver suit. He had an imposing bearing and was incomparably charming. He stood in the middle, and he was dazzling.
Ever since that day when he went to the small villa to thank Ye Qingran and met Chu Yan, he had immediately returned to the capital.
After knowing everything, his feelings were too complicated.
Although the encounter with Ye Qingran was very unpleasant, and Ye Qingran was very resistant to him.
But after spending some time together, he really wanted to become friends with Ye Qingran.
Of course, during this process, he also realized that his feelings for Ye Qingran were different, but he had never understood it.
Until Ye Qingran had said to him.
The man called Chu Yan was his boyfriend, and the two of them were lovers. He was shocked, but at the same time, he seemed to understand why he treated Ye Qingran differently.
He liked Ye Qingran. He had fallen in love with a man.
This realization scared him so much that he immediately returned to the capital from Jiang City.
He was restless and agitated, so he did not want to pay attention to anything about Ye Qingran.
However, during this period of time, he finally understood that he did not fall in love with any man. He only fell in love with Ye Qingran.
However, he could not accept that he actually fell in love with a man.
His family would never allow him to be together with a man.
On the contrary, letting his family know that he had fallen in love with a man might even bring a devastating disaster to Ye Qingran.
It was best to pretend that nothing had happened.
He never wanted to come to Jiang City again.
However, the company had business to do, and the person in charge was him, so he had to come.
At the celebratory banquet tonight, Leng Xiao was prepared to just appear and exchange greetings. After a while, he would leave immediately.
To the airport, and then return to the Capital.
As he exited, he met Long Junyao, who was waiting for him. He spoke with him and his a.s.sistant regarding some things he had to pay attention to in the future of the company’s projects.
He raised his eyebrows slightly. “You’re planning to return tonight. I thought you wouldn’t be returning until tomorrow, I was going to have a few drinks with you tonight.”
“Maybe next time. We’ll drink when you return to the capital.” Leng Xiao did not tell anyone about Ye Qingran.
“Okay, but you really don’t want to see your good friend.” Long Junyao smiled teasingly.
“Good friend?” Leng Xiao didn’t know who he was talking about.
“Ye Qingran, why don’t you go and see her? Take a good look at her and ask her.”
Leng Xiao could hear the strangeness in his tone and asked, “What’s wrong with him?”
Long Junyao raised his eyebrows. “Don’t tell me you still don’t know?”
“Don’t know what?”
“Ye Qingran is a woman.”
When Long Junyao’s words reached his ears, Leng Xiao could clearly hear his heartbeat quickening and his entire body tensing up.
Judging from his expression, it was obvious that he did not know. Long Junyao chuckled. “Shocking, right? I’m also very shocked. Mu Qingxue had told me before that Ye Qingran might be a woman. She even admitted it at the banquet that day, but that just made me stop suspecting.”
Leng Xiao looked at Long Junyao in a daze. “Ye… Ye Qingran is a girl?”
Long Junyao nodded. “Yes, the Ye Family has already announced it. Because when she was born, the fortune teller said that she must be raised as a boy, or else she wouldn’t survive.”
Leng Xiao clenched his fists.”…”
Ye Qingran was a girl.
She was actually a girl?
Actually, looking back, it was not difficult to notice that she was a girl.
However, these were modern times. Even if she was delicate and pretty, her aura and wisdom were something that many men could not compare to.
Therefore, they would only think that this boy was too thin and delicate, and never thought that she might be a girl.
A sense of ecstasy surged out from the bottom of his heart.
If Ye Qingran was a woman, then what was there for him to hesitate about? Wouldn’t everyone be happy?
Leng Xiao smiled.
His heart was restless.
That night, Leng Xiao naturally did not return to the capital. He stayed behind to drink with Long Junyao.
Long Junyao was drunk. “It’s really strange. I actually fought with another woman for more than half a year because of a woman, and I didn’t even win. This woman…”
It made him feel very complicated.
When he suspected that she was a woman, he wanted to embarra.s.s herself more.
When he was certain that she was a woman and thought about their previous fights, he felt complicated and couldn’t describe how he felt.
Leng Xiao was also drunk.
But his mood was completely different from Long Junyao’s.
He was surprised and happy. As long as she was a woman, even if she was only the daughter of a small Ye Family in Jiang City, he could solve everything and let them be together.
As for the boyfriend Chu Yan that Ye Qingran once introduced, he did not take it to heart at all.
So what if she had a boyfriend.
He would let Ye Qingran understand who loved her the most, who treated her the best, and who was the most suitable for her.
Leng Xiao lay on the sofa and looked at the phone at his side.
He reached out and unlocked it. Then, he found Ye Qingran’s phone number and dialed it..
Ye Qingran saw the unfamiliar number and initially did not want to pick it up. However, after multiple calls, she picked it up.
She said “h.e.l.lo”.
The person on the other end immediately chuckled.
This laughter was a little familiar, but she could not guess who it was. Ye Qingran asked, “Who is it?”
The person on the other end of the phone said with a little loneliness, “Can’t you recognize my voice?”
This time, Ye Qingran confirmed the other party’s ident.i.ty. “Leng Xiao.”
Leng Xiao grunted and then asked in a low and hoa.r.s.e voice, “Why are you surprised that I called?”
Of course Ye Qingran was surprised.
Ever since that day, when Leng Xiao went to the small villa to send a thank you gift, it was as if he had disappeared.
She thought that Leng Xiao was extremely repulsed by this “Gay” and had decided not to be friends with her anymore, and would not look for her in the future.
Why did he suddenly call her again? Could it be because he heard that she was a girl.
Because he knew this, he confirmed that she was not a h.o.m.os.e.xual and wanted to be friends with her again.
Tch!
Who would want to be friends with him.
She asked coldly, “What’s the matter?”
Leng Xiao lay on the sofa and drank. “Can’t I call you if there’s nothing wrong? No matter what, we can be considered good friends who have worked together before.”
“Are you drunk?” She did not want to talk too much to a drunkard.
“Yes, I’m drunk. I feel very uncomfortable.” His voice was very low and soft, and there seemed to be a hint of coquettishness.
Ye Qingran:”…”
She just wanted to hang up the phone. “If you’re drunk, go to sleep. I’m sleepy.”
“Okay, then you go to sleep.”
Leng Xiao was also very easy to talk to. He did not pester her and said to her, “Good night.”
Ye Qingran hung up the phone and thought for a moment. What was this Leng Xiao up to?
Although he said that he was drunk, she felt that Leng Xiao definitely had some ulterior motive for calling her.
