His Majesty is Scheming - C208
Ling Mengzhu’s scalp began to tingle. She and Long Zhenghao didn’t seem to have been married for a long time, right? Now you’re hanging out with other women? No wonder he was smiling so mysteriously. He really shouldn’t have!
“Zhu Zhu Zhu, let’s go. The restaurant will be more crowded soon.” Xiao Lin retracted the mocking expression on his face, and after exchanging a glance with Long Zhenghao, he hugged Ling Mengzhan and walked past the two of them. As he walked in the direction of the restaurant, a sense of gratification arose within his heart.
Ling Meng Pearl had finally separated from this man. This was exactly the good result he had been looking forward to!
Ling Mengzhu was stimulated by the faint smile on his face, and immediately regretted what she had just said. She didn’t even seem to be pretending. She didn’t want Little Lin to see herself alone. Her pride wouldn’t allow it … But who could help her?
“Beads …” Seeing that she was not willing to leave, Xiao Lin increased his efforts to pull her from the spot into his embrace, and brought him to the front of the group. Ling Mengzhan was extremely anxious, she almost cried out for help.
And just when she brushed past Long Zhenghao, her arm was grabbed again. Today was the third time someone had grabbed her. Ling Mengzhu turned her head and saw Long Zhenghao’s sullen expression. She was puzzled …
“Ling Mengzhu, you want to leave without even explaining yourself behind my back?” Long Zheng’s gaze swept across Xiao Lin, then fell on Ling Meng Zhu’s flabbergasted face, his eyes blazing.
Ling Meng Zhu’s mouth was agape and speechless for a while, before he finally said in a daze, “No …” “You misunderstand, Xiao Lin and I are just friends. We haven’t seen each other for a long time, really …”
Was he helping her or was he destroying the scene? Was she going to continue acting? People like Long Zhenghao wouldn’t do anything good. However, he seemed to be really working on it at the moment. He just didn’t know what he would want in the future.
The atmosphere at the scene immediately became awkward. Xiao Lin and Liang Jia’s faces changed, looking back and forth between Long Zhenghao and Ling Mengzhu with the same puzzled look. Xiao Lin had just thought that Long Zhenghao and Ling Meng Yu had separated, and was secretly happy.
Liang Jia never thought that the two of them would be a couple. What did Long Zhenghao mean by his sudden words of jealousy? Aren’t they cousins? Would a cousin say something like that to his cousin?
Long Zhenghao let go of Ling Meng Pearl’s hand and lightly said, “When you’re with other men in the future, even if you cross the road, you can’t let anyone hold your hand. When do you plan to go home? I’ll go back with you. ”
“In the afternoon, I made an appointment with Hu Chang and Wang Xiang to go shopping in China. I might be a bit late …”
“Alright, call me when you’re done.” Long Zhenghao held her by her waist, bent his head down and kissed her, giving her a doting smile. Then she took a step back, turned around and walked in the other direction with Miss Liang, who turned her head back three steps at a time. She then disgracefully disappeared into the crowd, as if she had never appeared in the first place.
Ling Mengzhu stared blankly at the direction they disappeared in, her fingers unconsciously touching her lips that had just been lightly tapped. This was the second time Long Zhenghao had kissed her. The first time was because she was drunk that night and had treated her as if she was being kissed by Lin Mufan.
“Didn’t he take a beauty shopping? How can I even have the right to talk about you? ” Xiao Lin retracted his gaze, and said unhappily while looking at Ling Mengzhan. The provocation Long Zhenghao left him just now made him feel uncomfortable.
Ling Mengzhu raised her head to look at him but did not say anything, because even she herself had not recovered from her shock.
“It seems that he doesn’t really love you that much, Zhu Zhu. You must be very lonely with him, right? “Rich people are just like that. There’s one at home, and a bunch of people outside. If you’re smart enough, then you should hurry up and leave. You guys aren’t suitable at all.”
“Are you talking about yourself?” Ling Mengzhu’s eyebrows suddenly shot up as her eyes turned cold. Wasn’t he the same back then? She clearly already had her, yet she’s still messing around with other women. She’s a typical ‘rich man’!
Little Lin knew that she was still resenting his betrayal that day. Not only did he not have the urge to explain in a hurry, he was even somewhat happy. She would still care about his betrayal. Did that mean she still cared about him?
In the end, Ling Mengzhu and Lil ‘Lin went to the restaurant that they liked the most. Although their relationship was already faint, with Lil’ Lin’s funny words interacting with her, Ling Mengzhu finally let go and finished the meal with him like normal friends.
Of course, it was also because she was trying to get on good terms with him, so that she would have a chance to learn about the memory card from him later on.
After lunch, Xiao Lin insisted on taking her to China Business. When the car stopped by the roadside, Hu Chang and Wang Xiang were already waiting. When the two of them saw Ling Dreamy Pearl get out of Xiao Lin’s car, their eyes immediately went wide as if they had discovered something shocking.
Ling Mengzhu rolled her eyes in annoyance. What kind of expressions were these? It was as if her being with Little Lin was a matter of heaven and earth. Xiao Lin rolled down the window and waved at the two of them, “HI… Do you two beauties not recognize me? ”
“I know him, of course I know him. I just don’t understand when the two of you are going to get together again.” Hu Chang chuckled and pulled Ling Mengzhan over to size her up. It was as if he was suspecting some kind of adultery.
“We didn’t go together. We just ate and chatted.” Ling Mengzhu glared at Hu Chang in annoyance, then turned around and said to Xiao Lin in the car, “Thank you for lunch, let’s go quickly. We won’t stop here.”
“Alright, then I’ll be leaving first. We’ll meet again another day.” Lil ‘Lin rolled up the window with a smile and drove the car into the traffic.
Once Xiao Lin left, Hu Chang and Wang Xiang immediately surrounded him and shouted in exasperation, “Hey! What’s the matter with you, you fool? I don’t want a man who is as good as Long Zhenghao, I want this man who betrayed me before? ”
“Where are you guys thinking? It’s not like I don’t want it anymore, I definitely won’t be with Lil ‘Lin. ”
“I hope that’s the case. Otherwise, we will look down on you.” Hu Chang pulled her wrist, and the three of them walked into the store. The poor thing was that they still preferred the baby clothing area.
The three of them strolled around until 4 PM before leaving. Ling Mengzhu, of course, didn’t call Long Zhenghao to pick them up, so she couldn’t take the act seriously. Besides, she wasn’t in a hurry right now. She just wandered home.
It was good to have Madam Ling at home. When she returned home, she could smell the fragrance of food. As the food was still being cooked, Ling Mengzhu returned to her bedroom and continued her research. After all, finding a job was an urgent matter.
After studying for a while, her cell phone suddenly beeped. She lowered her head and saw that it was a text message from Xiao Lin, asking her if she wanted to go home and have a drink together to watch the latest movie or find a quiet place to sit down.
Ling Mengzhu originally wanted to directly type ‘Not going’ to him, but after thinking about it for a while, she decided to not offend him and politely declined his invitation. He also made an appointment to meet with him in the next few days. As for when they would meet, he did not know. Now, she wanted to see him, but she was afraid to. She wanted to see him … It was because of the memory card that had disappeared a long time ago!
“Zhu Zhu, hurry up and come out to eat. Zhenghao will be back soon.” Madam Ling called out from outside. Ling Mengzhu, who was typing on her phone in her room, answered and put down her phone before walking out. The starving her reached out her hand to grab the dishes on the plate.
Madam Ling’s chopsticks unceremoniously slapped against the back of her hand, causing her to hurriedly pull back in pain. Annoyed, she said, “Mom, what’s wrong with you? It’s really painful to always use chopsticks to hit someone’s hand.”
“Shouldn’t you use your hands to catch vegetables?” Besides, he hadn’t even returned yet. Was there no need to wait? “Not at all.”
“Mom, are you kidding me? What kind of person is Long Zhenghao? He’s so nice to him, even if he’s my ex-husband, there’s no need to be so nice to him, right?” Ling Mengzhu could not take it any longer. She wanted to protest a long time ago!
Who knew that Mrs. Ling didn’t take her dissatisfaction seriously at all, and maintained her normal expression. “Even if it was her ex-husband, he was once your man, my ex-son-in-law. Besides, where are you going to find someone as good as Zhenghao? I strongly support your remarriage. Be a bit nicer to others and be more concerned about them, do you understand? ”
“I don’t want to remarry. Such a cold and domineering man, I probably couldn’t stand his personality before, so I chose to divorce him. Mom, don’t cause trouble for me. I will find a son-in-law a thousand times better than him for you to see. ”
After Ling Mengzhu finished speaking, she picked up her chopsticks and started eating, completely unaware that Long Zhenghao was standing outside the dining hall with the key in his hand. Mrs. Ling was surprised when she found out about it. She cried out involuntarily, “Zhenghao? When did you get back? ”
Ho-ho?!” These two words were like a small bomb that exploded in Ling Meng Pearl’s heart. Then what she just said…?
“I’ve been back for a while, and I saw you guys happily chatting, so I didn’t disturb you.” Long Zhenghao said as he walked over and lifted Ling Mengzhan from her chair. He stared at her with his deep eyes and did not move for a long time.
Ling Mengzhu’s mouth was filled with rice grains, and after being stared at by him, she didn’t even dare to move as she stared blankly back at him. There was only one voice echoing in his mind. He heard her words, he heard her words …
“Mu Fan …” Long Zhenghao gently called out. He bitterly smiled and asked, “Is it really you?”
He could not believe it. He truly could not believe that such a beautiful thing could exist in this world, and that he would be able to meet her again in this life!
After staring blankly for a while, Ling Mengzhu instinctively pushed his figure away as she cried out involuntarily, “I’m Ling Mengzhu, not Mu Fan. Mister Long, you drank too much again, right?” Her footsteps were a little panicked, and her voice was also a little shaky.
“No matter why you’re called Ling Mengzhu, you’re still my Mu Fan. Mu Fan, why aren’t you admitting your identity?” Long Zhenghao pulled her hand and let her throw it to the side. His long empty hand froze in the air.
