Wu Xiaoman, whom Chu Zhao went to pick up, naturally knew about this, but did not say much.

After everyone left, Ling Yisheng looked at Chu Zhao and said, "There's no need to reject her invitations on my behalf in the future."

"Yes."

"As for the Wu family, we can just cooperate with them as usual in the future. There's no need to give them any special treatment." After thinking for a moment, he continued.

"Young Master, what about Chairman Ling..." Chu Zhao was a little hesitant.

"Don't worry about it." Ling Yisheng interrupted directly.

When he mentioned Father Ling, his voice unconsciously turned a little colder.

"Yes."

……

In the basement.

Xiao Jinglan woke up shortly after Ling Yisheng left.

She looked around.

No one is empty.

She was suddenly delighted and stood up quickly.

However, when she stood up, she found that she was naked.

Ling Yisheng didn't even prepare any clothes for her!

No wonder he dared to leave her here alone!

Xiao Jinglan wrapped the quilt around himself and raised his feet to touch the ground.

She tried hard to walk towards the exit, and the chains on her body made noises as she moved.

However, after walking for a while, the chain reached its limit and it was impossible to move forward.

Xiao Jinglan glanced at the exit, which was only a few steps away.

Just as she was about to struggle, she suddenly heard a strange noise coming from above.

Xiao Jinglan quickly ran back to bed, pretending to be still asleep.

Not long after I lay down, I heard footsteps in the basement.

Ling Yisheng is back.

He walked to the bed and looked down at Xiao Jinglan lying on the bed.

"Now that you're awake, get up."

A man's calm voice sounded above his head.

This sound startled Xiao Jinglan who was lying on the bed so much that his breathing stopped and even his eyelids moved inadvertently.

Did he know she was awake?

How did he know?

Before she could figure it out, Ling Yisheng spoke again to verify Xiao Jinglan's thoughts, "Still pretending to sleep?"

"If you don't wake up, I'll kiss you?"

As soon as these words came out.

Xiao Jinglan immediately sat up, opened his eyes and met his gaze, "How did you know?"

"There's nothing here that I don't know." Ling Yisheng said in a light tone.

What he didn't say was that he had installed surveillance cameras everywhere in the villa, including here.

As early as when Xiao Jinglan woke up, he saw the surveillance footage on his mobile phone.

Therefore, he saw the whole process of her running back to the bed.

A hint of doubt flashed across Xiao Jinglan's eyes.

However, before she could figure it out, Ling Yisheng sat next to her and asked, "Are you hungry?"

"……fine."

"Then let's have dinner later. Let's chat first, okay?" He said this with certainty, without any questioning tone.

The next moment, Ling Yisheng's words followed, "You went to see Wu Xiaoman that afternoon, right? What did you say to her?"

He put his hand on Xiao Jinglan's face and looked into his eyes.

"Ah...how do you know?" Xiao Jinglan thought for a moment, then replied, "Yes, but we didn't say anything, we just chatted a little."

She still subconsciously concealed it, not wanting him to know.

"But why did I hear Wu Xiaoman say that you guys talked a lot and even mentioned me?"

Ling Yisheng looked at her evasive eyes and became suspicious. He continued to coax her half-truthfully, "She has told me everything, Lanlan, don't you want to say something?"

Xiao Jinglan was shocked by his words.

What did Wu Xiaoman say?

So why did he react like this? So calm?

Xiao Jinglan was a little bit unbelievable and asked cautiously, "Say...what?"

"Why did you run away from the marriage without telling me anything?" Ling Yisheng looked lonely and his eyes were somewhat resentful.

It seems like he really knows something.

"Then what do you want me to say?" Xiao Jinglan retorted, with a trace of sadness on his face.

Ling Yisheng stared at the expression on her face without blinking, "What's wrong with that? Why is it so difficult to say it?"

He sensed that there was something else behind her words, so he continued to pretend to know what she was saying.

Xiao Jinglan stared at the quilt with his eyes lowered, and said dejectedly, "What do you want me to say? Just tell her that you had sex with her once..."

When it came to the key point, Xiao Jinglan couldn't utter that word.

Seeing her pause, Ling Yisheng became anxious, "What happened once?"

Hearing this, Xiao Jinglan immediately realized that Ling Yisheng actually didn't know the truth.

She then turned her head away and remained silent.

Ling Yisheng then placed his hand on Xiao Jinglan's shoulder and squeezed it hard, asking her to look at him.

He stared closely at Xiao Jinglan's drooping brows, his eyes revealing a sharp aura, as if he wanted to see through her.

"Lanlan, tell me, what did she say? What did we have?"

Ling Yisheng's tone was urgent and his expression was a little anxious, as if he was begging or questioning.

He was now certain that it was Wu Xiaoman who was behind this again.

She caused discord between them!

Thinking of this, some dark thoughts welled up in his mind, and the desire to kill continued to rise and surge.

Even his eyes were vaguely filled with murderous intent.

Xiao Jinglan avoided his gaze without knowing where to put it, but he caught a glimpse of his aggrieved and earnest expression out of the corner of his eye, and felt sorry for him.

It would be a bit unfair to him if I didn't even tell him what happened.

Besides, things have come to this point and there is no way to hide it any longer. It is just a matter of time.

"She said..." Thinking about it, Xiao Jinglan slowly and tactfully said those difficult words, "You had a... sexual experience."

"She said we did it? Me and Wu Xiaoman? When? Where?" Ling Yisheng sneered as if he had heard a joke.

“…” She hadn’t expected him to talk about that so bluntly.

After a pause, Xiao Jinglan replied in a low voice, "Yes, it's normal that you don't remember. She said you were drunk that time and don't remember..."

"My Lanlan, why do you believe everything others say?" Ling Yisheng laughed instead of being angry, with a hint of doting in his tone.

He touched her head helplessly and continued, "You believe whatever she says about us, but you don't believe anything I say, ah!"

Looking at his reaction, Xiao Jinglan began to doubt Wu Xiaoman's words, but he still did not completely dispel his doubts.

After all, Ling Yisheng was drunk at the time and didn't remember anything, so he naturally treated it as a joke and nonsense.

"I can tell you clearly that she and I have never had any relationship. I promise!"

Seeing that she was still hesitant and doubtful, Ling Yisheng reiterated it solemnly.

"How can you guarantee it? You don't know!" Hearing this, Xiao Jinglan lowered his head and retorted in a muffled voice.

She didn't want to look directly at Ling Yisheng, but she did care about the outcome of this matter.

Secretly, she also hoped that there was innocence between them.
