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

Startled, Mu Yanxin gripped her phone tightly. "Answer it, I'll answer it, I'll answer it!"

If he takes the call, things will fall apart; it's better to take it yourself.

The call was answered in the third-to-last second, and Leng Changqing's irritable voice came from the other end, "Mu Yanxin, what the hell have you been doing all this time without answering the phone?"

The sound was so piercing it made her ears tingle, so she moved the phone away from her ear to keep it at a certain distance.

Mu Yanxin didn't answer directly, "Why are you calling in the middle of the night!"

"You think I wanted to call you?"

Mu Yan hurriedly hung up the phone, "It's nothing, I'm hanging up!"

"If you dare hang up, then you're out fooling around with some guy in the middle of the night again, aren't you?"

It was very quiet on the other end of the phone; apart from Leng Changqing's voice, there was no other noise. Leng Changqing must have gone back to the villa.

He probably called to check up on her because she wasn't home!

When he left this morning, he made it clear that he was going to Shen An'an's place. Why would he suddenly go back?

Mu Yanxin glanced at Leng Tingye, who looked like he was watching a melon seed.

If you keep asking her questions like that, she'll only become more and more passive.

Instead of answering his question directly, she said in a slightly accusatory tone, "Do you think I'm like you, going out fooling around in the middle of the night!"

There was a brief silence on the other end of the line, followed by a few seconds. "So where are you now?"

"I'm not going back to the Mu family tonight!"

"Stop using the Mu family as a cover! Tell me, aren't you having a secret rendezvous with some random man right now?!"

Clearly, Leng Changqing did not believe her story at all.

Having said all that, wouldn't softening your tone make you seem guilty?

Despite feeling guilty, he still spoke with a self-righteous tone, "Leng Changqing, are you sick? If you're sick, go see a doctor! What's wrong with you in the middle of the night? Do you think everyone else is like you?"

Leng Changqing was thoroughly enraged.

"I'm calling Mrs. Mu right now. If I find out you're not at the Mu family home, you're dead meat!"

"Casual!"

The call ended!

Leng Tingye watched the woman with great interest as she made up lies with a straight face. Even though she was clearly right, her confident yet guilty demeanor was truly amusing!

"Master Ye, are you enjoying your melon?" Mu Yanxin finally couldn't suppress her resentment. It was all this man's fault for making her answer the phone.

"You're quite the liar!" Leng Tingye pulled out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. "I'm looking forward to seeing how you'll make up lies for me later!"

Seeing this, Mu Yanxin quickly picked up a lighter, lit it, and gave him a cigarette. "Master Ye, you're joking. How could I dare to lie to you?"

This woman is incredibly fickle; one second she was all high and mighty, the next she's begging like a kitten, "You dare not?"

Mu Yanxin smiled apologetically, "I would never dare!"

Mu Yanxin smiled, but her palms were sweaty. She wasn't worried that Leng Changqing would call Madam Mu.

Today's arrangement was made by Madam Mu. She hopes that she can marry into the Leng family as soon as possible. Now, she wants Leng Changqing to know that she is not doing him any good outside.

They will most likely side with her.

Compared to Leng Changqing's challenge, Leng Tingye's challenge is even more difficult.

Mu Yanxin tugged at the man's sleeve, "Master Ye, could you let me go back to the Mu family first? You heard it too, Leng Changqing checked up on us, I'm scared..."

Leng Tingye glanced down at her restless little hands, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said lazily, "Okay!"

His answer was so quick that Mu Yanxin was almost incredulous, and tentatively asked in a low voice, "Really?"

"real!"

She had never met such an easy-going man before, and she was a little unaccustomed to it. Wu Bai was even more unaccustomed to it than she was.

Wu Bai, who had been sitting in the back for a while, finally couldn't sit still any longer.

"Sir, I suddenly feel a bit unwell in my stomach!"

The car pulled over to the side of the road, and Wu Bai slipped away as if his feet were oiled.

Perfect timing, she took this opportunity to get off the bus as well.

Just as I unbuckled my seatbelt and was about to open the car door to get out, the door slammed shut with a "whoosh."

"What are you going to do?"

Mu Yanxin turned around and smiled, "I'll get off the car with Wu Bai, so you don't have to stop again!"

"So, you're still thinking of me?" Leng Tingye started the car.

Mu Yan grew anxious, "Didn't you promise me you'd go back to the Mu family?"

"Yes! I'll go back with you!"

The man's expression was serious, showing no sign of joking.

Mu Yan felt a chill run down her spine. "What are you going to do?"

"I'll go explain it to you!"

Is he joking? He needs to explain himself.

At this moment, he brought her to the Mu family. What would Madam Mu think? And what would Leng Changqing think if he found out?

Then she will face the end of the world.

Seeing this, Leng Tingye had already turned the steering wheel around.

Mu Yanxin was so frightened that sweat broke out on her forehead, and she hurriedly said, "No need, no need!"

"I'm not going back to the Mu family!"

Leng Tingye's lips curled up. "Not going back?"

Mu Yanxin shook her head, "I'm not going back, I'm not going back!"

"Back to where?"

Mu Yanxin looked obediently at him and said, "Wherever Master Ye goes, I'll go!"

Leng Tingye deliberately asked, "Aren't you afraid my second brother will find out?"

"Don't be afraid. What's there to be afraid of with Master Ye? I know Master Ye will protect me, right?"

He knew perfectly well that these were just words the woman, a novice, had made up to coax him, but he still fell for them.

"Alright, put aside the cloying things for now, and think about what you're going to say later."

Upon hearing this, the ingratiating smile on her face froze.

I started thinking about what I would say later.

Even after seeing the villa's gate, she was still worried.

The name "Villa No. 1" sounded strangely familiar to Mu Yanxin. After thinking for a while, she remembered that Zhou Shuang had given her a key to this place before.

The Nordic architectural style gives it a European royal feel.

Mu Yan followed Leng Tingye inside timidly.

As Leng Tingye walked, he loosened his tie and took off his coat as soon as he entered the room, throwing it on the sofa.

The room was decorated in a grand style, but when you walked in, it felt cold and deserted, without a trace of human warmth.

Mu Yanxin couldn't help but shiver.

Looking again, Leng Tingye was already sitting on the sofa, in an interrogation posture.

He didn't ask a question, but his gaze sent chills down one's spine, waiting for her to confess on her own initiative.

Leniency if you confess, severity if you resist!

Mu Yanxin swallowed hard. "Actually, it should have been my sister who was having dinner with Master Qin today, but Wan Yi didn't want to. As you know, there are all sorts of vested interests involved in the business world!"

Observing Leng Tingye's expression and seeing that he was not acting strangely, she continued, "If it's hard to refuse, then let me deal with Master Qin in place of my sister!"

"uh-huh?"

Mu Yanxin raised her hand, "I promise, I only went to eat in place of my sister. Who knew that Master Qin was a scoundrel, and that's how what you saw happened!"

"Oh!"

His voice was low and filled with doubt.

Mu Yanxin wanted to go over and explain, but her foot tripped over something, her arm swung around in the air a few times, and she still lost her balance and fell into the man's arms.

Leng Tingye gently pulled him into his arms, "What, you want to confess in my arms?"

"Master Ye, I'm telling the truth, I'm not lying to you!"

"You mean, you went in place of Mu Wanyi?"
