Seeing this scene, Xia Anying stuffed the box deep into her bag and then walked over with a fake smile on her face.
To be honest, she had long been tired of serving this moody young lady.
"What's wrong, Wanqing? Why are you angry with your brother again?"
She plopped down beside Leng Wanqing and helped tuck her hair behind her ear.
The second young lady of the Leng family was pouting, her voice still tinged with sobs.
"I told him I was going out with my friends, but big brother asked me where I was going."
"And then?"
Xia Anying asked nervously.
After all, the places she usually took Leng Wanqing to were not exactly good ones. If Leng Chuanjin found out, he would surely kick her out of the house.
"Then I refused to tell him, and he wouldn't let me go."
"I had already made an appointment with Xiaomin and the others..."
As she spoke, she was about to cry again. Xia Anying quickly took out a tissue to wipe her face, silently praying, "God, please make this girl calm down."
Even Wang Fu, the butler, came over and handed her a cup of hot milk to soothe her mood.
The fact that the butler was speaking up for her showed that Leng Chuanjin had been really harsh this time.
But that wasn't her concern.
"I'm going out."
Before she could comfort Leng Wanqing much, Leng Chuanjin walked out of the study.
He grabbed the coat the butler handed him and rushed out the door in a hurry.
"Master Leng, will you be coming back home tonight?"
Seeing his state, the butler quickly asked.
"Yes."
He replied as he put on his coat.
"I'll be back before dinner."
After saying that, he pushed open the door and walked out. He didn't even glance at his sobbing sister the whole time.
Leng Wanqing got even angrier, her delicate face turning bright red.
Leng Chuanjin didn't stop for a moment and headed straight for the garage. He randomly picked a car and drove to the construction site.
Originally, his mood had been quite good because the surprise he had prepared for Xia Sanghuan was almost complete.
But everything changed after his afternoon nap. His disobedient sister had been clamoring to go out and play with her so - called friends.
It wasn't that he wanted to restrict her freedom too much. He just didn't like her so - called "friends" from the bottom of his heart.
He wouldn't comment too much on their outfits. His good family upbringing made him respect everyone's taste and preferences.
But the aura of those girls always made him frown whenever he saw them.
He didn't want Wanqing to get too close to them. Coupled with his lack of rest and a bit of a headache, he couldn't help but raise his voice at his sister.
Thus, the situation just now had occurred.
But he didn't have the extra energy to talk to her anymore. Or rather, after so many attempts at education, Wanqing still had this attitude, which made him feel like he was at the end of his rope.
Moreover, with the tight construction schedule, he had to deal with more important matters first.
"Mr. Leng, you're here."
Yun Ye was directing the workers to assemble the last part of the equipment. Seeing Leng Chuanjin's car, he quickly greeted him.
...
"Second young lady, Master Leng will be back soon."
"He's been out for so long. He'll definitely be thirsty when he gets back."
As Wang Fu spoke, he brought over a cup of tea.
"Please take this cup of tea to Master Leng and then have a good talk with him."
"The New Year is just around the corner. If you quarrel with Master Leng at this moment, won't it break his heart?"
The butler tried to persuade her kindly, but Leng Wanqing didn't buy it.
She shifted her gaze, pouting so hard that it seemed like a kettle could hang from her lips.
The butler sighed and had to put the teacup beside her before continuing with his own work.
The time spent at the construction site was a bit longer than Leng Chuanjin had expected. By the time he got home, dinner was almost over.
He waved at Wang Fu, indicating that he didn't need to worry.
The tea had cooled down again and again. Only after being repeatedly persuaded by the butler did Leng Wanqing reluctantly take the tea into her big brother's study.
However, when no one was looking, Xia Anying had secretly added "ingredients" to it.
It didn't matter if it was poured out several times. Anyway, the teacup would always pass through her hands.
And she had a lot of stock left.
She watched everything with a smiling face until Leng Chuanjin came out of the study and returned to his bedroom.
He stood in front of the floor - to - ceiling window, quietly waiting for the surprise he had arranged for Xia Sanghuan.
Just thinking about the girl's possible reaction made the corners of his mouth curl up involuntarily.
He was just about to call her when there was a knock on the door.
He said unhappily, "Come in."
He had clearly told Uncle Wang not to let anyone disturb him during this period.
Who on earth was so disrespectful of the rules?
He opened the door and saw Xia Anying in a low - cut nightgown.
She said coyly, "Brother Chuanjin..."
Leng Chuanjin frowned in disgust and immediately closed the door.
However, Xia Anying somehow found the courage to block the door with her foot.
The man didn't show any mercy and increased the force on the door.
But she wasn't afraid at all. Instead, she looked at him with an unfathomable look in her eyes.
A sense of annoyance suddenly welled up in Leng Chuanjin's heart.
Sure enough, the next second, he suddenly felt his hands and feet go weak.
Then his whole body started to burn.
He almost instantly understood his situation.
Gritting his teeth, he stared at the woman in front of him.
"Xia Anying!"
His voice was low and cold.
Xia Anying easily pushed open the door and walked in coquettishly.
She locked the door behind her.
"Brother Chuanjin, I'm really sorry."
She said to him with a look of grievance on her face.
"You've been deceived by my sister for too long. I'll help you wake up today."
As she spoke, she reached out to touch his face.
She could feel all the cells in her body getting excited.
Before long, this man would belong to her.
She was immersed in her fantasy, but before her hand could reach far, it was slapped away by the man.
Her voice suddenly turned shrill.
"We've come this far. Why are you still resisting..."
If you looked closely at her face, you would find that there was a hint of fear mixed with her excited expression.
Of course she was afraid.
If she succeeded this time, she would smoothly become the young mistress of the Leng family, and Chen Jiayuan would no longer have the chance to threaten her.
She could even effortlessly trample Xia Sanghuan under her feet.
But if she failed...
She couldn't even imagine the consequences she would have to bear.
She suddenly pushed Leng Chuanjin, trying to push him onto the bed.
However, the man just staggered a few steps and then supported himself on the table and stood up.
His eyes were terrifying. Even though the room was dark and there was no light on, Xia Anying could still feel a chill.
It was like a poisonous snake slowly crawling up her back.
The more afraid she was, the more impatient she became.
Her actions became more and more chaotic, like a fluttering fly.
