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

While seemingly answering Feng Yaqin's question, her eyes were actually fixed on Mu Yanxin. What sounded perfectly normal to others took on a deeper meaning to her.

It's mainly because she's been hanging out with Leng Tingye for so long that she understands immediately.

Mu Yanxin felt a burning sensation on her face, so she deliberately knocked over the chopsticks and bent down to pick them up.

Leng Xingchun said, "Sister-in-law, you don't need to pick them up yourself, just let the maid do it!"

Mu Yanxin picked up the chopsticks and sat down. "It's nothing, just something I did!"

Looking at the woman's blushing face, which had a unique charm, Leng Tingye smiled and looked away, having successfully achieved his goal.

During this process, Leng Changqing did not notice anything; he had a long face and looked very unwilling.

He was already terrified of meeting Leng Tingye only occasionally, let alone having to meet him frequently in the future.

Leng Tingye had already agreed, and he didn't dare to say he wouldn't go, especially since it was the old man who had approved it.

Neither the old man nor his fourth brother were people he dared to provoke.

Back at the West Garden, only the two of them were in the room; Feng Yaqin had not yet returned.

Mu Yanxin sat on the sofa, poured herself a cup of tea, and drank it. During the meal, the man kept casting glances at her, which made her sweat profusely with nervousness.

"What the hell are you still standing there for?"

He didn't dare vent his anger on others, so he delivered all his barbed words to Mu Yanxin.

On the way back, Leng Changqing was all smiles and sullen, and now he's acting so fierce. Mu Yanxin said irritably, "What's wrong!"

"Why aren't you packing your things and going back to the villa!" Leng Changqin paced anxiously in the room.

Mu Yanxin was baffled. "What's wrong with you now?"

"I can't stand this old house for another second, it's so damn suffocating!"

Shen An'an's departure was already devastating enough for him, but now he has to go to Leng Tingye's company. Not only will he lose his lover, but he will also lose his freedom, and he might even lose his life.

Seeing that Mu Yanxin hadn't moved, he walked over, snatched the teacup from her hand, and smashed it on the ground.

"Are you deaf?!"

"By the way, now that you're the old man's approved daughter-in-law, why didn't you say a word for me back then?"

"What did you say?" Mu Yanxin asked, looking up at him.

"You said you didn't want me to work at my fourth brother's company!"

Mu Yanxin was amused. "Your mother suggested it, and I don't want to? What's your reason for not wanting to?"

Leng Changqing said matter-of-factly, "You can't tell me that we've only been engaged for a short time and are in the honeymoon phase, and you want me to be with you every day!"

"Hehe, hehe!" Mu Yanxin sneered twice.

She couldn't understand how Leng Changqing had the nerve to say such a thing; how could he have the audacity to say it?

"Isn't that right?" Leng Changqing said in a self-righteous tone.

Mu Yanxin smiled sarcastically, "Where did you get the idea that we're being sweet, and where did you get the idea that I can't bear to part with you! Or did I do something to make you misunderstand!"

"Isn't that right? You went to great lengths to drive Shen An'an away from me, doesn't that prove something?"

"So, you think I was jealous of Shen An'an and that I framed her for your sake, instead of her bringing trouble upon herself!"

Leng Changqing snapped, "Shut up! An'an isn't that kind of person!"

"Okay, okay!" Mu Yanxin waved her hand.

You can't reason with someone who's stubbornly clinging to their beliefs.

She didn't want to get entangled with him on this matter, so she changed the subject, saying, "Even if I told him, do you think Master Ye would agree?"

No one could change Leng Tingye's mind. Moreover, saying those words on the spot was tantamount to courting death, essentially going against three people at once. Forget whether others would let her off the hook; even Feng Yaqin wouldn't.

Leng Changqing seemed to be deep in thought, probably believing that it was impossible for Leng Tingye to take a woman's opinion into consideration.

He swung his arm back and said, "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and pack your things, let's go!"

Downstairs at the villa, Leng Changqing stood at the entrance, showing no intention of driving in.

"get off!"

Mu Yanxin, sitting in the back seat, opened the car door and casually asked, "Where are you going?"

Leng Changqing said impatiently, "Mind your own business!"

After saying that, there was a loud roar of the engine, and the car sped off in another direction.

Just as I was about to enter, my phone rang. It was a message from Mrs. Mu.

[Going back to the Mu family home tonight!]

It was the same format and commanding tone as always, without specifying what the issue was.

Simply telling her to go back without saying anything was Madam Mu's style, which caught Mu Yanxin completely off guard, but she had no choice but to go.

Mu family.

As soon as she stepped inside, the maid greeted her with a smile, "Miss is back!"

Mu Yanxin nodded in surprise.

Because Madam Mu usually treats her badly, not only the servants, but even the Mu family's dogs treat her coldly and bark at her whenever they see her.

Mu Yanxin was confused and followed the servant directly to the restaurant.

This was also Mu Yanxin's first time stepping into the Mu family's restaurant.

"You're back!" Madam Mu said with a smile and a gentle tone.

Compared to her previous sternness, her current gentleness is even more chilling.

Mu Yanxin's first reaction was that Madam Mu was trying to get back at her again. Looking at the table full of delicious food, she thought, "Could there be poison in the food?"

On second thought, that seemed unlikely. Madam Mu hadn't achieved her goal yet, so how could she be allowed to die at this point? That would be a losing proposition.

She's not moving from the doorway.

"Come on, let's eat!"

Mu Yanxin walked over, pulled up a chair and sat down, still pondering Madam Mu's intentions.

An abalone appeared in the bowl, brought by Madam Mu.

"Did you call me here because you need anything?"

Madam Mu picked up another piece of raw fish sashimi, which looked as if it had just been cut from the fish, and the flesh was still twitching.

Mu Yanxin felt a chill run down her spine. "I'm trying my best to get Leng Changqing to agree to the marriage as soon as possible!"

Madam Mu paused, her hand hovering in mid-air, and said, "I heard that Old Master Leng has approved of you!"

"Mm!" Mu Yanxin nodded.

The news is really well-informed.

"I also heard that Old Master Leng gave you a diamond necklace, which is priceless," Madam Mu said.

Mu Yanxin said, "I'm not very knowledgeable, so I didn't know that necklace would be so expensive!"

"give it to me!"

At this point, Mu Yanxin roughly understood why Madam Mu had laid such groundwork.

Perhaps because my hand was suspended in the air for too long, the fish slice slipped off my chopsticks uncontrollably!

"I originally brought this necklace as a gift for you?"

She knew that whether she wanted to or not, Madam Mu had plenty of ways to get there, but she didn't want to give it to her for nothing.

"Oh, so you meant to give this necklace to me originally?"

"Yes! But..."
