It Started With a Kiss: Leng Shao's Beloved Wife

After Notary Liu left, the oppressive atmosphere seemed to freeze.

Wu Xinyan held Luo Yichen's hand tightly, and beads of sweat appeared on her palms.

Luo Yichen held her hand in return and gave her a reassuring look, but he couldn't hide the anxiety between his brows.

Fourth Uncle Luo had a gloomy face and glared at them fiercely, then turned and whispered to Lawyer Gao: "Old Gao, we must not let them turn over! You go..." He leaned close to Lawyer Gao's ear, his voice as low as a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue.

Lawyer Gao nodded repeatedly, a cunning light flashed behind his glasses, and he turned and hurried away, disappearing at the end of the corridor.

The following days were an agonizing wait for Wu Xinyan and Luo Yichen.

Every minute and every second feels as long as a century.

Luo Yichen's company fell into an unprecedented crisis because of this property dispute.

The partners were in a panic and asked to terminate the contract early, and the capital chain was on the verge of breaking.

Luo Yichen runs between the company and the law firm every day. He is exhausted, but he still holds on and provides Wu Xinyan with a strong support.

Although Wu Xinyan was also anxious inside, she knew that at this time, she had to become the source of Luo Yichen's strength.

She suppressed her inner fear and worry, and took good care of Luo Yichen's life every day, soothing his tired heart with tenderness and encouragement.

At the same time, Uncle Luo and Lawyer Gao were also busy.

They moved around and even resorted to dishonorable means in an attempt to find a breakthrough within the notary office.

Lawyer Gao went to the notary office every few days, each time bringing different "gifts" to lobby the relevant personnel.

He is well aware of the weaknesses of human nature and will use any means necessary, whether through intimidation or bribery.

Finally, on a stormy night, Lawyer Gao received a mysterious call.

"Everything is arranged..." The voice on the other end of the phone was low and hoarse, and then hung up.

Lawyer Gao showed a sinister smile and muttered to himself: "Luo Yichen, Wu Xinyan, your doomsday has come..." He picked up the phone and dialed Uncle Luo's number, "Uncle Luo, good news..." The gloomy sky seemed to indicate that a storm was coming.

Fourth Uncle Luo's sinister eyes swept across the news in the newspaper. The headline read "The dispute over the succession of the Luo family, the authenticity of the evidence remains a mystery."

A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, which was exactly the effect he wanted.

The "informed sources" he sent out had already spread rumors within the Luo family, saying that the evidence of Luo Yichen and Wu Xinyan was forged, and that they were willing to take risks in order to win the inheritance rights, and even bribed the staff of the notary office.

The rumor spread rapidly like a virus, and family members began to doubt Luo Yichen and his wife, and the voices that originally supported them gradually weakened.

Wu Xinyan was extremely anxious. She could no longer sit still and decided to go to the notary office in person.

She went to Notary Liu's office and anxiously inquired about the progress of the appraisal.

"Notary Liu, when will the results of our evidence appraisal be available? We are really anxious." Notary Liu pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said seriously: "Ms. Wu, I'm sorry, according to regulations, we cannot disclose any information before the appraisal results come out. Please wait patiently." Wu Xinyan's heart sank. Notary Liu's attitude made her even more uneasy. Could it be that Fourth Uncle Luo's conspiracy really succeeded?

Just when Wu Xinyan was feeling extremely upset, Luo Yichen's phone rang.

His tired voice came from the receiver: "Xinyan, I found a company willing to cooperate with us. I'll be there right away..." He paused, his tone becoming serious, "But, they require..."

Luo Yichen hung up the phone and rubbed his tired eyes, which were bloodshot.

In order to stabilize the company's shaky situation, he worked like a top, but encountered obstacles everywhere.

The rumors were like an invisible net that bound him tightly and made it hard for him to breathe.

After much difficulty, he found a company willing to cooperate, but the other party put forward harsh conditions - requiring him to give up his inheritance rights to Roche's property.

"Yi Chen, give up, for the company, for us..." Wu Xinyan looked at him distressedly, his haggard face made her heart break.

Luo Yichen hugged her tightly, resting his chin on the top of her head, and said in a hoarse voice: "I won't give up. I promised you that I would give you a happy future."

Lawyer Gao appeared in Luo Yichen's office like a ghost, holding a thick stack of legal documents in his hand, and his eyes behind the glasses were cold and sharp.

"Mr. Luo Yichen, given the current situation, I advise you to give up the fight for the property. Otherwise, you will face more legal proceedings, which will not be good for you and Miss Wu Xinyan." Lawyer Gao's voice was emotionless, as if he was deciding their fate.

Luo Yichen stood up suddenly, staring at Lawyer Gao fiercely: "Are you threatening me?"

Lawyer Gao pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I am just stating the facts. Think it over carefully." After that, he turned and left, leaving Luo Yichen and Wu Xinyan in silence.

Despair surged like a tide, almost drowning them.

Just then, a rapid phone ring broke the silence in the office.

It's the notary office's phone number.

"Mr. Luo, the evidence appraisal results are out. Please come to the notary office tomorrow morning at 9:00 AM to collect them with Ms. Wu."

Wu Xinyan and Luo Yichen looked at each other, and a spark of hope ignited in their eyes.

The next morning, before dawn, Wu Xinyan and Luo Yichen arrived at the notary office early.

The wind was biting cold, and they huddled together tightly, waiting for the verdict of fate.

Not far away, a black car slowly drove over and stopped in front of the notary office.

The car door opened, and Uncle Luo and Lawyer Gao stepped out one after the other, with determined smiles on their faces...

Fourth Uncle Luo looked at his watch and sneered, "Looks like there's going to be something interesting to watch."
