Day n of not wanting to be a kept man's canary

There was an empty seat next to Mu Yanxin. It was originally supposed to be Leng Changqing's seat, but because of the unpleasantness this morning, Leng Changqing was annoyed with her and sat next to Shen An'an instead.

Her heart was pounding, and Mu Yanxin didn't know how to face this man. In just these few minutes, she had sensed a deadly danger emanating from him.

Leng Changlin calls him the fourth brother, so isn't he the forbidden young master of the Leng family?

He is Leng Changlin's fourth brother, and also Leng Changqing's fourth brother, so she slept with her fiancé's cousin last night.

Mu Yanxin, Mu Yanxin, you've always been submissive, and the only time you defied fate, you got yourself into big trouble.

In just a few minutes, she learned that the person approaching her was an eccentric and crazy individual. What if…

"Second Brother, may I sit in your seat?" Leng Tingye asked with a smile.

Leng Changqing sat up straight, flattered and surprised. He never expected that his arrogant younger brother would ask for his permission just for a seat.

Leng Tingye's current strength is already greater than that of the entire Leng family, which is admirable. At such a young age, he has already made a name for himself in Tiandu, and his ruthless methods have made people tremble with fear.

This man, who never even respects the old man, is now seeking his opinion. Could it be that his younger brother admires him and intends to befriend him?

Definitely is.

"Sure, sure, of course!" Leng Changqing exclaimed excitedly. "Let alone a seat, I'll give you anything you want, Fourth Brother!"

"Really?" Leng Tingye asked Leng Changqing, but his gaze fell on Mu Yanxin.

Leng Changqing confidently assured him, "Of course it's true, I always keep my word!"

Leng Tingye's lips curled into a wicked smile. "What if I took a fancy to your second sister-in-law? Would you still give her to me?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned, and Leng Changqing was even more dumbfounded, his smile frozen on his face.

He originally just wanted to get closer to Leng Tingye, but he didn't expect him to play by his own rules.

Although he hated Mu Yanxin, handing his woman over to someone else was a cowardly act, and how could he face others after that?

Old Master Leng's face turned pale and then purple with anger, looking extremely ugly. "You bastard, what nonsense are you spouting?"

Mu Yanxin's anxiety finally died. This man was even worse than the rumors suggested. She hadn't thought of him as bad as she thought he was.

"Calm down, old man." Leng Tingye raised an eyebrow and said smugly, "Getting angry can easily lead to sudden death!"

"Cough cough cough cough..." Old Master Leng coughed a few times in anger, and then Uncle De helped him back to his room to rest.

Mu Yanxin's palms were sweating. If she didn't find a way to stop Leng Tingye, and he revealed their affair, she wouldn't be able to marry into the Leng family, and what she would face would be...

In the blink of an eye, the man walked to the seat and stood there, seemingly waiting for Leng Changqing's reply.

He felt something was wrong with his leg and looked down to see a small hand lifting the side of his thigh by the seam of his pants and shaking it back and forth slightly.

When Leng Tingye met her gaze, her expression—bright eyes brimming with tears—made her look like a lapdog that had made a mistake, wagging its tail and begging its master to forgive it.

It makes people interested in continuing to play.

"Second brother, look how scared you are." Leng Tingye sat down with his legs crossed, and grabbed the woman's hand as she hurriedly tried to escape. He looked at Mu Yanxin with a playful expression, "Just kidding, right, second sister-in-law?"

Leng Changqing breathed a long sigh of relief.

Mu Yanxin's face flushed red because he was still holding her hand, and she dared not relax her grip even slightly.

"Are you deaf? Fourth Brother is talking to you!" Leng Changqing scolded. This woman was a menace, almost making him lose face.

Mu Yanxin struggled a few times, but the man showed no sign of letting go, so she was forced to nod.

"Oh, right, I said I wouldn't eat for nothing. I've prepared a surprise for everyone in order to enjoy this meal."

Everyone looked at each other, wondering what kind of surprise this young master, returning home for the first time in ten years, would bring.

Leng Tingye snapped his fingers, and soon a tall, imposing man walked in carrying a plate, which he respectfully placed in front of him. "Master Ye."

He raised his hand to signal the man to leave, but the man stood back at the doorway.

All eyes were fixed on the plate, and their faces turned deathly pale.

A fleeting hint of panic crossed Leng Changlin's face, but he quickly regained his composure. Tang Yu tugged at his empty sleeve.

The plate contained two bullets stained with blood; the blood wasn't exactly dark red, but rather blackish.

Mu Yanxin was terrified.

Leng Tingye calmly tossed the two bloody bullets into a wine glass, tilted his head, and swirled the glass, his expression unreadable.

Yet it was so cold it felt like being in an ice cellar.

The dried blood quickly spread in the expensive liquor, turning completely red as it was shaken.

No one knew what he was trying to do.

He examined the red liquid closely. "Do you know what blood tastes like?"

"You don't know, do you!" He picked up his glass and downed it in one gulp, licked his lips, closed his eyes and savored the taste. "Then let me tell you what it tastes like: it's fishy with a hint of saltiness."

Some people had already fainted from fright, while others were vomiting uncontrollably.

"You're quite the jumper, aren't you? Weren't you jumping all over my face before? Do you know whose blood is on this bullet?" Leng Tingye suddenly raised his voice, "My short-lived parents'."

The wine glass was crushed to pieces in his hand, and the family dinner ended on a sour note.

Leng Tingye was eventually summoned by the old man, while Mu Yanxin was left behind by Feng Yaqin to clean up the mess.

Tang Yu didn't leave either; she stayed to help Mu Yanxin tidy up.

Tang Yuping was approachable and easy to get along with. She didn't put on airs like a rich young mistress at all. Mu Yanxin casually asked, "Sister-in-law, why did you help me?"

“Because we are all women,” Tang Yu said, her hands still moving.

Her words warmed Mu Yan's heart. To be honest, he had been wary of everyone before, thinking that wealthy families were places where money was the only thing that mattered, not feelings.

"Thank you, sister-in-law!"

"I already said you're welcome." Tang Yu noticed that Mu Yanxin was still limping, and said gently, "Your knee is injured, isn't it? Let me get it bandaged for you."

"Thank you for your concern, sister-in-law. I'll be fine after a good night's sleep. No need to trouble yourself."

“That won’t do. The wound will get infected if you don’t treat it.” Tang Yu said with concern, insisting, “Girls should take care of their bodies. It’s really bad if your body breaks down.”

Your body is your own; if your body collapses, you have nothing left.

……

study.

"Cough cough cough..." Old Master Leng coughed incessantly in the room.

Leng Tingye leaned against the door, smoking a cigarette. He flicked a lighter in one hand and then put it out, flicked it again and then put it out again.

"Did you call me here to listen to your cough?" There wasn't a trace of human warmth in those few words.

Uncle De brought a cup of hot water to Old Master Leng. After drinking a few sips of the hot water, Old Master Leng's cough was finally suppressed.

"Tingye, you should really tone down your temper."
