Chapter Forty-Nine: The Leng Family Will Always Be Her Home
After the greetings, Xu Xiangsi suddenly reacted, there seemed to be a lack of a figure to be seen at home, so he turned his head and asked the expressionless man in the living room.
"Eh, uncle, why didn't you see Miss Li today?"
Leng Mo's tone was not gentle, and even had a hint of teasing, "What, you miss her so much?" β
Xu Xiangsi was stunned for a moment, she just asked, why did Leng Mo look gloomy? She won't eat his girlfriend again.
"Uncle doesn't want to?" Xu Xiangsi slowly threw the question back.
Leng Mo glanced at her, "This is not a question you should ask. β
Xu Xiangsi was angry: He just protected Li Manxue like this?
Ji Weiyang is not a fool, and after realizing that the atmosphere between the two was not right, he hurriedly spoke: "Mr. Leng, I'm sorry, I didn't give you advance notice when I came to visit today, and I caused you trouble." β
Leng Mo glanced at the boy, his expression was as usual, "It's good to know that it's troublesome." β
"......" At this time, Ji Weiyang no longer dared to take the initiative to talk.
Xu Xiangsi watched from the sidelines, but Ji Weiyang felt embarrassed, and also took the opportunity to speak: "It's okay Weiyang, my uncle has a cold temperament, I don't mean to hate you." β
No, he just meant nasty.
Of course, this thought flashed through Leng Mo's mind.
Fortunately, the delicious meal quickly diverted the attention of several people, Xu Xiangsi moved her fingers at the bowls of dishes on the table, and Ji Weiyang was attentively adding soup and vegetables next to her.
Leng Mo sat expressionlessly opposite the little couple, calmly as usual, but no one noticed how tight the knuckles he was holding chopsticks.
"Wei Yang, you taste this, it's delicious, this is one of Aunt Mei's specialties!"
Xu Xiangsi didn't pay attention to the man opposite at all, but took all kinds of initiatives to Ji Weiyang, picked up a chopstick and handed it to her boyfriend's mouth.
Ji Weiyang swallowed flatteredly, thought about it and felt that he should "exchange courtesies", so he also took the initiative to put a chopstick dish on the girl and put it in the bowl.
"It's hard to start school, eat more."
The interaction between the two was imprinted in Leng Mo's eyes, he only felt that the picture was abnormal, as Xu Xiangsi's elder, he should feel at ease, but he felt that he couldn't deceive people, he really hated the scene of the two of them being together.
"Uncle, why don't you eat it?"
Noticing that Leng Mo didn't move his chopsticks for a long time, Xu Xiangsi asked enthusiastically.
Leng Mo didn't raise one eyelid, and his voice was dull: "If you didn't see it, it doesn't mean that I didn't eat." β
Xu Xiangsi was choked for a moment, turned his head to Ji Weiyang and said, "Look, my uncle is like this, and he is the same for me, so you don't have to have psychological pressure at all."
Ji Weiyang didn't dare to face the eyes of the man opposite, so he had to smile slightly: "Got it." Don't just talk about others, you haven't eaten much yourself. β
Xu Xiangsi smiled and cracked the corners of his mouth: "I'm waiting for you to feed me."
The girl's voice has always been sweet and soft, and being coquettish at this moment made Ji Weiyang blush, and said a little hesitantly: "Sisi, there are still elders, don't be like this." β
"What not? You mean to reject me indirectly? Xu Xiangsi is unrelenting, and she is bound to carry out the coquettish to the end.
Ji Weiyang couldn't resist it, so he was about to raise his hand to pick up the vegetables and feed them, but the man opposite suddenly said in a faint voice: "Sisi, don't mess around at the dinner table." β
Xu Xiangsi glanced at the man, put away the eldest lady's shelf without being salty, and sat down in a proper manner.
"Well, what Uncle says is what it is."
Leng Mo blocked his chest in one breath, and he panicked when he couldn't get up or down, I don't know if it was because of Ji Weiyang's "Sisi" just now, or because of the girl's polite tone when facing him.
Once, he also fed Xu Xiangsi with his own hands, and he was also responsible for the stuff of serving vegetables and soup, and he didn't even let the housekeeper and other servants help, for fear that they wouldn't be able to serve him properly, but now, there is one more Ji Weiyang by the girl's side, and another person takes his place.
I can't tell what this feeling is.
He didn't have the relief of "my family has a girl who has just grown up" like the housekeeper, but only had the heart of what should have belonged to him being taken away by others.
After a meal, Leng Mo told the young couple that they were going to the company and left in a hurry without delay.
"Your uncle seems to be very busy, we came here like this, and we really disturbed him, right?" Seeing Leng Mo's back in a hurry, Ji Weiyang was embarrassed.
Xu Xiangsi's eyes were cold and indifferent, "There's nothing to disturb, when he used to show affection at home with that Miss Li every day, I couldn't bear it?" β
In fact, Xu Xiangsi exaggerated, and the cold ink nature does not belong to extroverted expression, so no matter how attentive and hot Li Manxue is, they just close the door and talk privately, and rarely deliberately show affection where a third person appears.
When Ji Weiyang heard this, a strange feeling rose in his heart: Could it be that Xu Xiangsi's initiative and diligence towards him today were all shown to her uncle?
No, no, it must be that he thinks too much, why does Sisi need to deliberately show affection to an elder? Maybe she just wanted Leng Mo to see how suitable they were, so that the other party could rest assured.
Although Ji Weiyang hypnotized himself in his heart, he still felt a trace of indescribable abnormality.
The two didn't stay in the cold house for too long, and they went out for an appointment after a while, but probably because the spirit was not very good in the afternoon, Xu Xiangsi was stunned, Ji Weiyang didn't force her much, and the two went back to school in advance.
As soon as he returned to the dormitory, Wen Xuan couldn't wait to gossip.
"Sisi, I heard that you took Ji Weiyang to your house today? Is it progressing so fast? Did your uncle say anything? β
Xu Xiangsi lay on the bed weakly, and replied angrily: "I just took him back for a meal, and I haven't reached the point of meeting his parents yet, and besides, it's the Leng family, not my home." By the way, how do you know? β
Wen Xuan raised his eyebrows, "Tsk, we have spread all over our ages, and someone saw you and Ji Weiyang get into their own car together." Speaking of which, why did you suddenly bring people back, not afraid of your uncle's response? Isn't itβ"
"Yes, I did it on purpose." Xu Xiangsi sat up, "Who let him have a girlfriend?" I just got a boyfriend to hang out in front of him! β
Wen Xuan held his forehead with a headache, "Sisi, it's not good for you to be like this, it's very immoral to play with the feelings of innocent young men." β
Xu Xiangsi glanced at her, "Who said I was playing with Ji Weiyang?" I really wanted to get along with him, although I just pitied him for my deep affection, but then I thought about it carefully, instead of trapping myself all the time, it is better to start a new relationship. β
Wen Xuan sighed, "The idea is good, but I'm afraid that you won't be able to get out of that obsession in the end." β
"I've already told Ji Weiyang that I have someone I like, but he still said he wants to give it a try with me." Xu Xiangsi explained, and then his mood fell again, "I see that Leng Mo doesn't care if I have a boyfriend at all, as long as I don't bother him, he will be happy." β
Wen Xuan comforted: "Don't think like that, people are big presidents, every day is a lot of opportunities, how can you care about these feelings and loves." β
"Then why did he have a girlfriend!" Xu Xiangsi was indignant.
"Well, he's going to get married in the future."
Wen Xuan was afraid that she would pop out of the earth-shattering words of "Since you want to get married, why don't you consider me", she hurriedly added another sentence.
"And if you look at the Leng family now, there is no need to rely on business marriages to consolidate his position, so of course he can choose a woman he likes and experience the nourishment of love."
This made Xu Acacia feel cold in his heart.
Yes, sitting in the position of Leng Mo, how many women threw themselves into their arms, and how many people sent women to his bed openly and secretly, she had seen it since she was a child, but he was picky and chosen, and finally chose Li Manxue, which shows how much he likes that woman.
Xu Xiangsi was so depressed that she planted herself in the quilt again.
Wen Xuan shouted: "Eh, you haven't said how you and Ji Weiyang are developing!" β
"How can it be, like a couple." Xu Xiangsi's answer was particularly weak.
In fact, through getting along these days, she and Ji Weiyang really get along on the surface, especially the other party's gentleman is considerate and gentle, and he is the perfect prince charming in the minds of many girls, however, she always feels that something is missing between the two of them.
Listening to Xu Xiangsi's perfunctory answer, Wenxuan no longer asked, even if the relationship between friends is good, they need private space.
The day passed quickly, and when twilight fell, Leng Mo returned home from the company.
The empty silence in the living room clearly indicated that Xu Xiangsi and they had left, and Leng Mo sat on the sofa slightly tired, as if he was closing his eyes and recuperating.
Seeing this, the housekeeper stepped forward lightly and asked, "Young Master, do you want to eat first, or go to the bathroom first?" β
Leng Mo closed his eyes and replied, "Let's put hot water first." β
After a pause, he still couldn't help asking, "Sisi, when did they leave?" β
"At about two o'clock in the afternoon, the young lady said that she was going on a date, and then went straight back to school, and she didn't come back."
"I have a boyfriend, but I use this place as a hotel." There was a chill on Leng Mo's face.
The housekeeper was slightly surprised, and felt that there was no reason for this, after all, Miss Acacia didn't come back much before she had a boyfriend, especially when school started a while ago, she and the young master had a pretty stiff quarrel, and it was natural that she didn't want to come back.
However, when the young master said this now, it was obviously a bit of a taste.
"Ahem, Miss Acacia always has to grow up, the young master can't let her live here all the time, she will have to move out sooner or later."
Leng Mo said noncommittally: "No matter where she marries in the future, the Leng family will always be her home." β
The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Yes, this is Miss Acacia's maiden home, and she can come back to us at any time if she has anything in the future." β
Leng Mo was silent, as if he agreed with the butler's statement.
At this moment, only the deepest part of his heart is protesting, his so-called "home" is not this meaning at all, and the Leng family is not the "maiden home" of that little girl!
