His Majesty is Scheming - C212
“If it wasn’t for you always being indifferent to me, how could I have fallen in love with other women?” Xiao Lin, on the other hand, started to criticize her. This was also the first time. Previously, when Ling Meng Zhu had brought it up, he would only apologize and never say anything about her wrongdoings. Upon hearing this, Ling Mengzhan was astounded. She looked at him in astonishment, waiting for him to explain in more detail.
“Have you ever reflected on how you became someone else’s girlfriend? You never come to me when I’m not looking for you, and you never call me when I’m not looking for you. At one point, I deliberately refused to call you for three days, and you only called me on the third day when you asked me to borrow my hard drive. I know that you never truly loved me. Do you think such a girlfriend qualified? Do you think any man can stand it? ”
His words travelled through the atmosphere and entered Ling Meng Pearl’s ears. She had no choice but to admit that she really hadn’t reflected on it. Was she like this before? Why are you so inconsiderate? Now that he thought about it, it seemed to be true.
“But I really want to marry you.” After a long time, Ling Meng Zhu finally managed to retort.
Xiao Lin chuckled lowly, “Maybe it’s because you’re used to being pampered, and others always look for you first when you’re used to it. Now, I have already thought it through. Everyone’s lifestyle is different, I don’t care anymore, I really don’t care!”
On the other hand, those who truly understood how to care about him were all interested in something that was impure. At the very least, Ling Mengzhan hadn’t spent a single cent of his money in the past six months, and never asked him for anything that was too excessive.
“Forget it, this is already over. There’s no need for us to talk about it.” Ling Mengzhu helplessly said. The truth was that she did not know what else to say. She was the one who had always been the one to blame Xiao Lin, and now that she was being accused by him instead, she felt guilty.
“Alright, I’ll send you back.” Xiao Lin held her hand and walked towards the door. He took the car keys from the TV cabinet and Ling Mengzhu quietly opened his palm, walking out of the house with him.
Xiao Lin drove the car directly to the entrance of the Western Ocean Garden, and Ling Mengzhu clamored to get out of the car and enter by herself. Xiao Lin didn’t make things difficult for her this time, and parked the car under a Jade Orchid Tree at the entrance of the district.
Ling Mengzhu pushed open the car door, and when she was about to get out, she turned around and said to him, “I’ll be going in first. Thank you for sending me back.”
“No need to be so polite, I’ll pick you up after work tomorrow.” Xiao Lin looked at her with a warm smile.
Ling Mengzhu nodded, pushed open the car door and stepped out. He watched as Xiao Lin’s car turned around and headed towards the city. Just as she was about to turn back and walk into the garden, a familiar A8 slowly appeared in front of her. It passed by Xiao Lin’s car and stopped in front of her.
Ling Mengzhu uneasily looked at Long Zhenghao inside the carriage and saw his sullen expression, then thought about the phone call that she had hung up first. She understood what he was angry about, but did not understand what he had the right to be angry about. He wasn’t her man, he was just her ex-husband, now that he was showing his face.
Long Zhenghao only looked at her for a while before he started the car and slowly drove towards the garden. The silver colored car soon disappeared from her sight. Ling Mengzhu breathed a sigh of relief and also began to walk into the garden.
Unfortunately, the two of them met again at the elevator door. Looking at the numbers from the elevator slowly descending, Long Zhenghao finally spoke, “Next time, come back early. It’s not safe for a girl to be outside.”
“Oh.” Ling Mengzhan had nothing to say, so she could only agree.
The elevator door opened and two people walked in. There was still silence in the elevator. Although the atmosphere was a little off, when Madam Ling saw the joy on their faces, she chuckled and asked, “Have you eaten yet?”
“Yes.” The two of them spoke almost in unison.
“Oh, you want some? Which one did you eat? ”
The two of them looked at each other, and Ling Mengzhu quickly shook her head, “No, we didn’t eat together. We bumped into each other downstairs.”
“Oh.” Mrs. Ling looked a little disappointed. She thought they were having dinner together, but after a moment of silence, she asked again, “How’s your new job? Are you used to it? ”
“Not bad, I didn’t have much to do on the first day.” Ling Mengzhu took a sip of the water that Madam Ling had poured for her. Through the rim of the cup, she could see Long Zhenghao’s figure heading upstairs, as well as the puzzlement on his face.
“Zhu Zhu Zhu, are you unhappy?” Madam Ling looked away from Long Zhenghao and asked in a low voice.
“No way. I don’t know either.” Was it her fault for playing the fool? Probably not. Besides, wasn’t Long Zhenghao like this? There shouldn’t be any unhappiness!
Ling Mengzhu said, not wanting to hear more questions from Madam Ling, and ran into the bedroom. Madam Ling had long since moved to another room with Long Zhenghao’s permission as they couldn’t bear it any longer.
Ye Zichen took out his pajamas and took a shower. The light in the living room had already changed to a small orange light. Because her hair was wet and she didn’t want to blow the wind, she turned on the patio light and sat down on a rubber chair to read a marketing plan she had brought back from the company. Tomorrow was the day she would officially start working. She had to get a clear understanding of the company as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to get involved.
He only hoped that he could control such a position. This was a real challenge!
Long Zhenghao used to go to the balcony to look at the night scenery before he went to sleep. He was standing on the balcony of the bedroom on the second floor. In the distant places where the sky and water met, a few dim lights were flickering. It was unknown whether it was worn as a fishing boat or not.
Long Zhenghao heard the commotion downstairs and stuck his head out to look down, only to see Ling Mengzhu looking at the information in her hands with a serious face. With a faint smile on his lips, he turned around and walked down the stairs.
Long Zhenghao’s appearance gave Ling Meng Yu a small shock, and she grumpily looked at him, “Can’t you make any noise while walking at night? “Like a ghost, scared to death.”
“I’m afraid that if I go too loud, I might cause a ruckus.” Long Zhenghao placed the cup of water in his hand in front of her and sat down next to her. His gaze swept across the information in her hands and asked, “What are you looking at so intently?”
“The company’s information allowed me to familiarize myself with the company’s processes within a week. So difficult!” Ling Mengzhu let out a helpless wail. Thinking of this information, her scalp tingled. If she had known earlier, she would have chosen a civilian to do the job. Today, Miss Tang had clearly given her the opportunity to make her choice. How silly. It was all because of her cowardice. Was she still afraid that someone from a large company would cheat her?
Long Zhenghao took the documents from her and skimmed through them. He smiled and said, “Actually, it’s not that difficult. Every company’s sales policy is about the same. We’ll get to know each other after a while.”
Ling Mengzhu looked at him suspiciously, “You seem to understand a lot, but you don’t seem to be in this line of work, do you?”
Long Zhenghao laughed again, “Men all know a bit about business.”
Ling Mengzhan ‘oh’, lowered her head and continued reading. The scene fell into a period of silence, about a minute later. Long Zhenghao spoke again, “Zhu Zhu, are you free after work tomorrow? “Accompany me to a banquet.”
Ling Mengzhu raised her head and saw that he was looking forward to it, with a tender and affectionate gaze. She recalled that he had arranged to meet with the owner of the mobile phone shop to find the memory card after work tomorrow. He could only shake his head, “Sorry, I’m busy tomorrow.”
Long Zhenghao’s expression darkened, and he quickly changed into a layer of sour jealousy as he spoke out, “Why aren’t you free? Do you have an appointment with your ex-boyfriend? You seem to have been very close to him these past few days. ”
“Ugh …” “No, I made an appointment to go to the repair shop to look for my memory card tomorrow.” Ling Mengzhu also didn’t know why she was so anxious to clarify the relationship between her and Xiao Lin. Didn’t she say that she didn’t want this man? Why should I be afraid that he will misunderstand something? Even if it was a misunderstanding, wasn’t it better? That way he wouldn’t have to come and talk to her about the past.
While Ling Mengzhu was daydreaming, Long Zhenghao suddenly leaned over and held her hand as he fixed her with his gaze, “Don’t go, don’t use that memory card anymore, hm?”
“Why?” Ling Mengzhan was puzzled as she blinked her eyes and asked, “Aren’t you afraid that those people will come and cause trouble for you?”
“Not afraid.” Long Zhenghao pinched the few drops of moisture on her cheeks and sniffed. The light and elegant fragrance mixed with her smell. She looked exactly the same as she did two years ago. Even the puzzlement on her face was the same as before.
Changing her appearance wouldn’t change the things in her bones. Long Zhenghao smiled wryly in his heart. It wasn’t that he wasn’t afraid, but that she would be taken away by another man. He could finally love her without any interference. How could he let the opportunity slip away so easily? He won’t, never again.
Ling Mengzhu’s face reddened from his actions as she raised her hand to pull back the hair on his palm. She awkwardly laughed and said, “I’ve already made an appointment with him. I’m really sorry. I think there are a lot of women who are willing to accompany you to the banquet.”
Those Miss Liang, Miss Liu, didn’t they all look forward to being with him every day? Well, that’s it. Give the opportunity to those who really need it. As for why her heart felt a little astringent, she didn’t want to care about that anymore.
“Also …” “I lost the card. I think I should find it. Even if I can’t, I must do my best.”
“I said not!” Long Zhenghao suddenly became angry as he glared at him.
This change in color shocked Ling Mengzhu, and she looked at him in astonishment. Her anger also rose as she asked, “What are you crazy about? You said no, so no? Will I be happy to find it myself? Can I just find it and throw it away …? ”
“No way!” Long Zhenghao interrupted her with an angry voice. He grabbed her shoulders with both hands as he brought his handsome face closer to her, “I said no, Mu Fan, I told you that there’s a new formula on the card. You can’t be involved with it. Otherwise, the next one to be hit by the knife will be you! Do you understand? You can’t get close to it! ”
Ling Mengzhan was stunned, looking at his handsome face livid with anxiety and anger, and looking at the veins on his forehead popping violently. She thought he was just selfish and wanted to stop her from being together with Xiao Lin. She never thought that things would turn out like this!
When he was excited, he would call her Mu Fan instead of Zhu Zhu. In his heart, she was Mu Fan, his Mu Fan!
