Xia Sanghuan was completely rooted to the spot. Her face showed shock first, and then disbelief.
"What's wrong?"
Leng Chuanjin lifted the glass in his hand.
There was still steam rising from the glass, instantly interrupting Xia Sanghuan's dazed thoughts.
"Um... Thanks." Xia Sanghuan didn't know what to say and forced a smile awkwardly.
She held the glass in her hands, using it to hide her expression.
If someone else did such a considerate thing, they would surely be a model of a good friend.
But...
Xia Sanghuan secretly cast a glance at Leng Chuanjin.
Why did it have to be this cold - faced Hades who did such a heart - warming thing? She didn't know how to react for a moment.
Apart from being surprised, Xia Sanghuan also felt a gentle warmth welling up in her heart.
She pursed her lips and took a few sips of the brown sugar water. It flowed warmly through her whole body.
Looking at the scenery outside the window, Xia Sanghuan felt a soft spot in her heart being gently touched.
The car soon arrived in front of the Leng family's apartment. The bodyguards standing guard at the door came to open the car door.
Seeing the rows of bodyguards in front of her, Xia Sanghuan sat still.
In fact, her heart was in a complete mess, like an ant on a hot pan.
Suddenly, she felt a tightness around her waist. Xia Sanghuan was startled. She lowered her eyes and then turned to look at the person behind her.
— Leng Chuanjin had tied his suit jacket around her waist.
The man's masculine aura, mixed with a faint sandalwood fragrance, wafted into her nostrils.
Xia Sanghuan blinked. She wanted to say something in gratitude but the words got stuck in her throat.
She inexplicably felt that something was off.
Maybe it was because the wind was a bit strong today, blowing her hair into a mess.
"Thanks."
After saying this, Xia Sanghuan took a deep breath and quickly got out of the car.
She took several steps before stopping.
The gentle breeze blew through her hair, and she managed to calm her nerves a bit.
Leng Chuanjin still stood there. Naturally, he didn't miss Xia Sanghuan's flustered figure.
The unease in his heart only lasted for a second.
After all, he was only taking care of her because of Fu Lingshi. It was nothing inappropriate.
Even after she returned to her room, Xia Sanghuan still felt that strange feeling lingering.
What was wrong with her?
Maybe she was just stunned and confused by Leng Chuanjin's considerate actions.
Also, since she had always lived on Qingshan Slope before and had never been this close to a man, that's why she was so flustered...
Xia Sanghuan let out a sigh of relief. Thinking like this, her confused heart finally calmed down a bit.
From all the details just now, it seemed that Leng Chuanjin wasn't the cold - faced Hades the outside world talked about.
A faint smile appeared on Xia Sanghuan's lips. He might be cold, but his heart was warm.
His true nature wasn't as cold as his appearance. Xia Sanghuan had a new understanding of him.
After sitting in a daze on the chair for a long time, Xia Sanghuan finally noticed that the empty glass was still in her hand.
She smiled and placed the glass on the balcony.
Looking down, she suddenly noticed a car parked on the road in front.
The car was gorgeously decorated. She had never seen it in the Leng family before.
However, Xia Sanghuan wasn't interested in it. Thinking of what she had come back for, her expression darkened.
She was about to go out.
Bang —
Suddenly, there was a loud noise downstairs.
Xia Sanghuan opened the door and walked to the middle of the stairs. From this angle, she could see clearly what was happening on the first floor.
There was a girl standing on the first floor. She didn't look very old, but she was dressed luxuriously. All her clothes and accessories were famous brands.
The big door behind her was shaking violently. Obviously, she was the one who had made the noise just now.
Xia Sanghuan was a bit curious about the girl's identity. After all, there were only a few people who dared to throw a tantrum in the Leng family.
Standing on a higher place, she could faintly hear the girl saying,
"Are you all blind? Don't you know how to help this young lady carry my luggage!"
Obviously, the girl was talking to the group of servants.
Apparently, she was another domineering young lady. Xia Sanghuan didn't plan to interfere. She turned around and wanted to go back to her room.
The girl had already noticed her. Frowning, she shouted up to the second floor, "Hey, who are you? Why are you living in my house?"
Xia Sanghuan's retreating figure halted.
Seeing this, Wang Fu quickly tried to persuade the young lady, "Miss, this is Miss Fu. She's Young Master Leng's guest."
"Your Young Master Leng's guest? That's ridiculous. I think she has ill intentions!"
Xia Sanghuan naturally heard this.
She turned around and looked at the domineering girl downstairs. "Are you talking about me?"
The girl lifted her chin. "Yes, I'm talking about you."
Xia Sanghuan smiled and completely ignored the girl's obvious provocation.
She changed her direction. "Then you've offended me. You'd better pray you don't run into me in the future."
These words made the girl so angry that she was about to explode.
"How dare you say that! Who should be praying not to run into whom!" She roared at the slender figure on the second floor.
Wang Fu looked at the young lady and sighed silently.
It seemed that from today on, there would be two domineering people in the Leng family.
"Who are you trying to drive away?"
The girl was stunned. The arrogance on her body disappeared instantly. She turned around nervously to face the person coming. "Brother, why are you here?"
Yes, she was Leng Wanqing, the second miss of the Leng family.
Leng Chuanjin's eyes were cold. Even when dealing with her, he never spared an extra glance.
"You can throw tantrums here as you like, but don't provoke Xia Sanghuan."
After saying this, he left with Yun Ye.
Leng Wanqing was indignant. After seeing Leng Chuanjin leave, her face returned to its domineering look.
"She's Xia Sanghuan? She's just a wild girl from the countryside. Why does brother protect her so much!" Leng Wanqing said unwillingly.
These days, the news that the Fu family had found their young miss had spread far and wide. Leng Wanqing was no exception.
When she saw Xia Sanghuan living in the house, she was full of contempt.
She had grown up in luxury since childhood. How could a country girl like Xia Sanghuan be worthy of living in the same house as her!
It was really annoying. Leng Wanqing rolled her eyes and left the house with her bag.
Wang Fu just watched silently from the side without saying a word.
That Miss Xia, even though she was a country girl, had an extraordinary temperament and was very dignified. She was just like a proper young lady.
On the second floor, Xia Sanghuan directly pushed open the door of the room.
Suddenly seeing someone in the room, Xia Anying shrieked, "Ah... Xia Sanghuan, why didn't you knock!"
Crossing her arms in front of her chest, Xia Sanghuan slowly walked up to Xia Anying and got straight to the point. "Where's the Black - Bone Spiritual Treasure? Hand it over."
Xia Anying didn't expect her to notice so quickly. She pursed her lips, and a look of guilt flashed across her face.
She swallowed hard and pretended to be nonchalant. "What spiritual treasure are you talking about? I've never heard of it."
Xia Sanghuan didn't have the mood to beat around the bush with her.
She took out her phone and started operating on the screen.
Xia Anying was still chattering on, "I think you're just deliberately looking for trouble with me. I've hardly said a few words to you these days. How could I..."
The next second, Xia Anying suddenly fell silent.
On Xia Sanghuan's phone screen, it clearly showed the alarm number.
