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

After we were seated, the waiter brought over a tablet and stood bowing to us.

Leng Xingchun reached out and took the menu, pushing it to the center of the table. "Today, it's my treat. Everyone, please feel free to order whatever you like."

After saying that, she blinked her eyes and looked at Leng Tingye ingratiatingly, "Fourth brother, it's on me!"

"Are you sure you want me to pay?" Leng Tingye said coldly.

Leng Xingchun smiled and said coquettishly, "I haven't started working yet! You treat me this time, and I'll treat you every day once I start earning money, okay?"

Actually, Leng Xingchun wasn't really short of money; she just wanted to liven things up.

The atmosphere was eerie ever since I came out of the underground parking garage.

Leng Tingye remained silent, which meant he acquiesced.

Mu Wanyi was stunned for a long time before Leng Tingye actually took the initiative to sit with her. Of course, he didn't just sit with her; Leng Xingchun was sitting right next to him.

While waiting for their food, everyone at the table had their own thoughts. Leng Tingye twirled the lighter in his hand and reached into his pocket for a cigarette.

Here comes my chance to shine.

Mu Wanyi nervously rubbed her hands, glanced at the table, and pushed the cigarette tray in front of Leng Tingye. "Master Ye, would you like a smoke?"

Leng Tingye glanced at the cigarette tray. "Alright, it's good to change things up!"

He casually tossed the cigarette pack he had just taken out onto the table. The table was too slippery, and he almost fell off, but Leng Changqing instinctively caught it.

I originally intended to put it back, but perhaps out of curiosity about his original taste, I took a special look at the cigarette box.

Upon seeing this, Leng Changqing's expression instantly turned ugly.

This cigarette is the same kind that he saw half-burnt cigarette in the ashtray when he came home last time.

Was Leng Tingye there that night?

That bitch Mu Yanxin even said that she was smoking because she was depressed.

Of course, coincidences cannot be ruled out. He hopes to find someone who will cheat on him, but he doesn't want that person to be Leng Tingye.

If it really is Leng Tingye, then knowing it will be even more frustrating for him than not knowing it.

He struggled with his inner conflict, squeezing the cigarette pack until it was deformed.

Noticing that Leng Changqing's expression was off, Mu Yanxin poured a glass of water and pushed it in front of him.

Leng Changqing was burning with rage, but he couldn't vent it. He really wanted to throw the water at this bastard, but because Leng Tingye was there, he didn't dare to be presumptuous and pushed it back to him in a bad mood.

The force was too strong, the cup tipped over, and water spilled all over Mu Yanxin.

Fortunately, most of it was spilled out, and not much water got on my body.

The waiter rushed over and helped wipe it off.

"Thank you!"

“您客气！”

After this little incident, the appetizers were served.

Since Leng Tingye did not reject her advances, Mu Wanyi diligently served him food, keeping herself very busy.

Mu Wanyi was different from usual; every movement she made exuded the gentle grace of a well-bred lady, and every smile and frown was just right.

Only Mu Yanxin knew her arrogance behind the scenes.

Mu Wanyi pushed a plate of deboned, high-quality fish in front of the man, "Master Ye, this is ready, please have this!"

Leng Tingye raised an eyebrow, quickly glanced at Mu Yanxin, and then looked at Mu Wanyi.

"She's quite virtuous!"

Overjoyed by the praise, Mu Wanyi was so happy she almost lost her bearings.

"Thank you, Master Ye!"

Leng Changqing disliked the Mu family to begin with and also had some suspicions about Leng Tingye, so she naturally resisted what he said: "She is quite virtuous, and her skills in pleasing men are remarkable!"

His words were veiled and his eyes were filled with undisguised contempt.

Mu Wanyi had a smile on her face, but she was so embarrassed that she couldn't get off the stage.

Seeing this, Leng Xingchun took a piece of her cut steak and put it on Leng Tingye's plate. "Fourth brother, I'm quite virtuous too!"

The atmosphere came alive again; wherever Leng Xingqing is, there's never a dull moment.

Leng Changqing seemed to have lost his mind again, keeping a dark expression and remaining silent throughout, making a loud crunching sound as he chopped the food on his plate.

Even though he wasn't that angry before, Mu Yanxin wondered which of her words had angered him again. After thinking it over, she realized she hadn't said much at all.

Thinking about how his expression changed after he accepted the cigarette pack, and then remembering how the two of them had argued about cigarette butts that day.

Could it be...

Although there was laughter and conversation throughout the meal, the atmosphere was always a bit strange.

Mu Wanyi served Leng Tingye attentively, and unlike last time, Leng Tingye no longer disliked her and would occasionally praise her.

Sitting face to face, Leng Tingye didn't even say a word to her, nor did he give her a single extra glance.

An inexplicable emotion welled up inside me.

It seems he really wants a change of pace, but why her?

She might have been able to accept it if it were any other woman, but Mu Wanyi had bullied her for three years by taking advantage of her power.

After finishing their meal, everyone just sat there waiting.

Leng Tingye remained silent, and no one dared to leave first.

Leng Tingye took the last drag of his cigarette and said, "You guys go first!"

Everyone stood up one after another. Mu Wanyi's eyes showed reluctance. In the time it took to eat a meal, she had regained her hope.

Leng Tingye didn't say anything, and she didn't dare not leave.

Leng Changqing had wanted to leave for a while, so he went out without lingering. Leng Xingchun asked, "Fourth brother, how are we going to get back?"

When they arrived, they all came in his car.

Leng Tingye leaned back in his chair. "Figure it out yourself!"

Leng Xingchun left reluctantly, wishing she had driven herself.

"You stay!" Mu Wanyi was about to leave as well, but Leng Tingye stopped her.

Mu Yanxin took a few steps and looked back.

"What, sister-in-law, you want to stay too?"

Her tone was unusually distant. Realizing her lapse in composure, Mu Yanxin forced a smile. "No, I was just checking if I had left anything behind!"

Leng Tingye spread his hands. "Did it fall?"

Mu Yanxin glanced around again. "No!"

"Alright, then please close the door for me, thank you!"

Each time she addressed him as "little sister-in-law," she was clearly defining the relationship between the two.

That's right. It's been such a long time, it's normal for the novelty to wear off. As he said, women are like clothes, you can change them when you get tired of them!

The moment the door closed, Mu Wanyi was slowly approaching him.

咔嗒！

The door closed, and with it, all her fantasies about him also closed.

In the elevator, she felt a tightness in her chest, as if something was blocking her breath.

She laughed self-deprecatingly, still hoping to use her physical relationship with Leng Tingye to get his help.

Now, it seems she was too naive.

Physical relationships are just about novelty and lust; once you get tired of them, they don't matter anymore.

After getting off the elevator, Leng Xingchun said that a friend was coming to pick her up and she had to leave first!

Leng Changqing grabbed her hand, went back into the elevator, and pressed the button for the basement!

Before Mu Yanxin could react, he grabbed her by the neck and shoved her against the elevator wall without saying a word.

Mu Yanxin felt a sharp pain in the back of her head from the impact, and her mind went blank for a moment. She struggled to pry his hand off her neck, asking, "What's wrong with you now?"

"Tell me, is that Leng Tingye?"
