Leng Chuanjin's tone and expression were flawless. No one could tell that he was just making things up.
Xia Sanghuan felt a bit uneasy. Could it be that she had really overthought things?
Seeing the skeptical look on the girl's face, he pursed his lips.
He would never let Xia Anying off the hook, but he didn't want Xia Sanghuan to know about it either.
He suddenly regretted calling her last night.
Xia Anying's actions were so despicable and dirty that he didn't think the girl should be exposed to such things.
Moreover, what would happen if he really told her about it?
How would the Fu family handle it?
Would Xia Anying make a big deal out of it if she was targeted? Would the Fu family be caught in a storm of public opinion?
These were all unpredictable variables that would only put Xia Sanghuan in a difficult position.
So he chose to keep silent.
"Then what do you plan to do about this? And do you know who the real culprit is?"
"If you don't act now, it will be difficult to investigate later..."
Leng Chuanjin reached out his hand and stroked her head, forcibly interrupting her questioning.
"Why are you more nervous than me?"
He curled the corner of his mouth. "Do you care about me so much?"
By this time, even if the girl was slow, she could understand that he didn't want to talk about this anymore.
Moreover, she was naturally more sensitive.
She slapped away his hand on her head and didn't say a word.
This matter involved his privacy, and it was not appropriate for her to ask any more questions.
"Then send me the amount of compensation you need."
"I'll try to pay you back in the short term."
She stood up and walked to the desk.
She used the key to open a drawer and took out a card from it.
It was the card that Fu Zeming had given her before, but she had never used it.
Her father would transfer a sum of money into it every month. After half a year, there should be quite a lot of money in it.
She was just afraid that what Xia Anying had broken was another antique.
Moreover, it was Leng Wanqing's vase.
Just thinking of Xia Anying's face, she couldn't help but sigh.
She hadn't compensated for the last plate, and she couldn't just brush off the matter of the vase this time.
"You don't need to pay. It's just a vase."
She checked the balance in the card. There was about one million yuan in it.
"I don't want to be looked down upon by Leng Wanqing when I go back."
While thinking about how to talk to her father about this, she stuffed the card back into the drawer.
This amount of money was definitely not enough.
"So, name your price."
She turned around and said to the man.
Seeing her serious expression, Leng Chuanjin couldn't help but laugh.
How could he tell her the price of a vase that didn't even exist?
"No need."
He stood up and walked to her side.
"But Leng Wanqing..."
"Wanqing has already forgiven your sister."
"There are so many beautiful vases. I'll just buy her another one if necessary."
She frowned.
"So, it's not an antique?"
"Of course not."
"It was just custom - made by the world's top designer."
He bent down slightly, put his index finger in front of his lips, and made a "shh" gesture to her, interrupting her next question.
"Don't dwell on this question anymore."
"Okay?"
His voice was very soft, but his tone was irresistible.
She pursed her lips and wordlessly stared into his eyes.
"Your excuse is really bad."
"Yes."
The man straightened up and openly admitted it.
"How many things have you been hiding from me from before until now?"
Xia Sanghuan was a bit annoyed.
Seeing her reaction, he put away his non -chalant attitude.
"I'll tell you everything in the future. Just give me a little more time."
He just looked at her, and there were some unfathomable emotions hidden in his dark eyes.
The girl knew that she couldn't get anything more out of him, so she simply decided to let things go.
"Whatever you want."
She turned around and looked out of the window, looking like she didn't want to talk to him anymore.
The two were silent for a while. Suddenly, Leng Chuanjin asked,
"When do you plan to go back to the Leng family?"
"At least not until after the Chinese New Year."
She said rather angrily.
"Actually, I can go back to the Fu family and live there from now on. My grandparents don't dislike me anymore, and the Fourth Brother's leg has already..."
Before she could finish her angry words, she heard the man say behind her,
"No."
Unlike his amiable tone just now, he seemed to be suddenly angry.
"Why?"
She turned around with a dissatisfied look.
Looking at her expression, he realized how inappropriate his tone had been just now.
"Because the Fu family is far from your school.
"After you move back, you'll need to adjust your work and rest schedule as well as your living habits.
"And..."
He opened his mouth but didn't continue.
"And?"
The girl raised her eyebrows, waiting for him to continue.
And I want to keep living with you.
"Nothing."
He paused and swallowed the rest of the words.
"I'll think about it. After all, I'll have to go to Jing Zhan's place more often in a while."
Although her face was still expressionless, it could be heard that the end of her voice was slightly rising.
Leng Chuanjin let out a slight sigh of relief.
"So, what are your plans next? Or is there any place you want to go?"
The girl looked up and thought for a while.
"There is actually a place I want to go."
"What's up?"
She turned around and asked.
"I'll go with you."
"Consider it as compensation for not being able to watch the fireworks."
She was stunned for a moment.
"Are you still thinking about that fireworks display?"
"Of course."
He raised his eyebrows. "I've been preparing for that fireworks show for a long time.
"As a result, you only saw a small part of it. I'm definitely not willing to let it go like this."
He folded his arms and explained very seriously.
"So, where do you want to go?"
"I want to go back to my hometown."
Hearing her words, the man was stunned.
He thought that she would be like other little girls, wanting to go to the beach or go camping in the mountains.
He didn't expect that she just wanted to go back to her hometown.
"Why?"
"It's the Chinese New Year. I have to go back and see my father."
There was little expression on her face, but he could still feel her slight sense of loss.
Then she smiled again.
"It's boring, isn't it? You don't have to accompany me.
"Just go and do your own thing."
The man was silent for a while.
"I'll go with you."
The girl's eyes widened slightly.
"Why?"
"It's too dangerous there. I don't want you to go through what happened before again."
His words brought back some bad memories for Xia Sanghuan.
Thinking about how she had almost lost her life there, she couldn't help but feel a little scared.
"Okay."
After a long time, she nodded.
"I'll think about the date. I'll call you then."
Seeing that she had agreed to him, he also let out a sigh of relief.
"I'll go and visit Jing Zhan in a while."
Not wanting to continue discussing this matter, the girl changed the topic.
"Please ask the Second Brother to get me Jing Zhan's physical examination reports for the past month from the hospital."
