His Majesty is Scheming - C222
The two of them walked out of the cafeteria, and Ling Meng Zhu, who was walking in front, coincidentally bumped into a group of people walking in the direction of the restaurant. However, at this moment, someone hugged her and quickly stabilized her body.
And the person holding her was Xiao Lin who was walking inside. How could he appear here?
Ling Meng Zhu quickly looked around and found that the place Long Zhenghao had brought her to was right next door to Xiao Lin’s company. No wonder it was such a coincidence. She just stood there, frozen in his embrace, unable to react for a while.
“Boss Lin, I haven’t seen sister-in-law for a long time. I didn’t expect to meet her here, let’s eat together.” The few men that came with Xiao Lin jeered, not noticing the ashen-faced Long Zhenghao at the side.
Ling Mengzhan finally reacted and began to struggle with her little strength. As she awkwardly laughed, she said, “No, no need, I just finished eating and came out. Xiao Lin … Thank You… Can you let me go first? ”
“He’s still not careful when he walks.” Xiao Lin let go of her with a hint of reproach, full of pampering. He actually saw Long Zhenghao at the side, the only reason he was able to hug her for such a long time was for him to see.
“Sister-in-law, let’s eat together. We haven’t had a meal together in a long time.” The group of men were still inviting her with hospitality. Ling Mengzhu was momentarily at a loss as to what to do. Even though Xiao Lin had let her go, he had used his wide body to block her from coming out of the corner. He gazed at her and said, “Zhu Zhu, since everyone misses you so much, let’s eat together.”
Ling Mengzhu felt that she was going crazy. The other party had said something so nice, but she could neither agree nor disagree. She couldn’t just leave Long Zhenghao here and go eat with him in Xiao Lin’s arms, right? She was afraid that Long Zhenghao would kill her.
“Maybe another day. It’s already too late today, I have to go back now …” “You guys eat slowly …” Ling Mengzhu bit her tongue.
Just when she didn’t know what to do, Long Zhenghao finally couldn’t take it anymore and pulled her back from the corner. He took it into his arms and said to his friends, “I’m sorry, but your sister-in-law has already remarried. She won’t accompany you to eat any more, nor will she do so any other day. So, I’m very grateful for everyone’s kindness. We’re going home. Goodbye!”
After Long Zhenghao finished speaking, his cold and provocative gaze swept across Xiao Lin’s face. The corner of his mouth curved up into a smooth smile as he walked towards the Audi A8 car with Ling Meng Zhu in his arms. Leaving behind the confused faces of the crowd and the angry little forest filled with eagles.
Watching as the A8 slowly drove away, Xiao Lin gritted his teeth. How could he not be angry at such an insult?
His colleague who was gossiping on the side asked curiously, “Boss Lin, what’s going on?” Why did my sister-in-law leave with another man? Weren’t you dating Sister-in-law a few days ago? ”
“Did you see wrongly?” We broke up six months ago. ” After Xiao Lin finished speaking with a calm expression, he walked inside.
“Women nowadays are really unreliable.” Another colleague helped Xiao Lin fight against injustice, but the more he said that, the more Xiao Lin’s self-esteem was hurt. “I thought she was not suitable to be with Sasha.”
“Oh.” The colleague finally realized that he was determined to save face and stopped talking.
The crowd finally quieted down. Originally, it was a happy dinner. Xiao Lin thought about Long Zhenghao’s domineering words just now, but he couldn’t feel happy at all. If he didn’t fight back, then he really would be a man for nothing!
Ling Mengzhu sat in the front passenger seat and peeked at Long Zhenghao’s still sullen face. She never spoke because he didn’t say anything. The atmosphere inside the carriage was so strange that it was hard to bear. Ling Mengzhan felt like she was going crazy.
After another five minutes, she could no longer hold it in. She looked at him and asked cautiously, “Why aren’t you talking? Are you angry? ”
With a swoosh, Long Zhenghao stopped his car by the side of the road, tightly holding onto the steering wheel, and turned to glare at her: “Why didn’t you push him away just now? Why couldn’t she just openly refuse him? Do you still have feelings for him? ”
So it was because of this that he was angered. Ling Mengzhan secretly thought to herself, “Shouldn’t I have some feelings for him?” He was my boyfriend half a year ago. ”
“What about me?” There was a slight change in his voice, and he grew even angrier.
“You? You are the person I forgot. As for what we used to be like, I don’t know, but at least you can’t expect me to fall in love with you in just a few days, because I’m no longer a reckless little girl. ”
Back then, she had been too emotional, and that was why she had agreed to be Xiao Lin’s girlfriend without proper interaction. In the end, she had been too slow to notice that she had been betrayed. She didn’t want it to happen again, but she had to admit to herself that she was really in love with Long Zhenghao, and she didn’t know when.
Ling Mengzhu’s words were really hurtful, but they were still a reminder to Long Zhenghao. She was right, everything from the past had already been forgotten by her. No matter what had happened in the past, no matter how much love she had, it was no longer in her memory.
She and him had only known each other for half a year, and there was even a long period of time when they were enemies. It was impossible for her to fall in love with him in such a situation, and he was not qualified to speak to her or make demands in such a perverted tone.
The car started again, and he fell silent.
However, when he fell silent, Ling Mengzhu panicked. She regretted it; she knew that she had hurt him too much just now.
Silence fell upon the carriage once again. The two of them did not speak again until they returned to Binhai Garden. The plan to go to the second half was naturally cancelled. The two silent players had no way to carry it out.
Long Zhenghao parked his car in the garage, and just as the car stopped, his phone rang. He picked it up, said a few words, then put it down. He said to Ling Meng Zhu, “You go up first, I have some matters to attend to.”
“Where to?” Ling Mengzhu asked out of instinct. Only after she asked did she realize that she wasn’t asking the question properly. It didn’t have anything to do with her, did it? He had just said something like that, and now he was putting on a wife’s identity and asking where he was going?
Ling Mengzhu uneasily withdrew her gaze, and before he could reply, she had already opened the car door and got off, walking towards the elevator.
Long Zhenghao watched as Ling Mengzhan’s figure disappeared into the elevator, then turned the car around and drove towards the exit.
While the elevator was going up, Ling Mengzhu stood in the corner and took out her phone to take a look. It was already past 10 o’clock, where was Long Zhenghao going so late at night? Why are you in such a hurry? She found herself beginning to worry.
She had slept soundly that night, lying in bed listening to the sound of the door, but she had not heard the key in the lock until the moment she fell asleep.
When she woke up the next day, all the bones in her body were slightly aching. Ling Mengzhu patted her shoulders as she walked into the living room. Mrs Ling made breakfast for her every time, but only two people made breakfast today.
Ling Meng Zhu’s hands, which were on her back, stiffened in midair as she asked: “Mom, didn’t Long Zhenghao come back last night?”
“Yeah, who knows where he went.” Mrs. Ling waved at her. “Hurry up and eat breakfast. Otherwise, you’ll be late for work.”
Ling Meng Zhu was still frozen in place as she said, “Mom, then why don’t you call him and ask him where he’s going for a good night’s rest?” Her heart began to feel anxious, but it was not good for her to completely express it. For a moment, she didn’t know what to do.
Although she did not express it, Mrs. Ling could still see the worry on her face. She looked at her and said, “Since you care about me, why not make a phone call and ask? “It’s not like we’re strangers anymore. Hurry up and call him.”
“I’m not going.” Ling Mengzhu sat down at the dining table. She had caused a ruckus last night, and now she was going to call him? How shameful would that be? He lowered his head, spooned the porridge into his bowl and flew to the phone.
Sometimes, even she hated herself for suffering so miserably, so why did she care so much about the issue of face? Why couldn’t she express her feelings completely like an ordinary girl? Was it because the other party was too outstanding, and because he had an inferiority complex from the bottom of his heart, he would use face to conceal himself?
“You, it’s just this point that’s bad. You always insist on losing face.” Even Madam Ling had spoken, as she walked into the living room. He picked up the phone on the table and dialed Long Zhenghao’s number.
Ling Mengzhu’s gaze followed the movement of her body as she unwaveringly watched her pick up the phone and pull it out. After watching her listen for a while, he tried to pull it out again. Only after that did he put the phone back on the phone, turned around, and walked over.
Madam Ling shrugged at her and gave her a helpless look. “If I can’t get through, I might still be in the village with a warm and gentle appearance. I don’t think I’ll be able to turn on the phone.”
A hint of anger flashed through Ling Meng Pearl’s heart. Gentle and gentle? If he didn’t turn on the computer at this moment, there wouldn’t be any other explanation other than having a warm and comfortable life. The guy who had been keeping a promise to him was actually going to stay out the night.
Are all men like this? Xiao Lin and Long Zhenghao were the same! These two men who didn’t seem alike yet had to act out the scene of jealousy at the entrance of the restaurant in front of her. It was too hypocritical!
The bowl in Ling Mengzhu’s hand landed on the table with a ‘bang’, giving Mrs. Ling a fright. She looked at her with suspicion, “Zhu Zhu Zhu, what are you raging at? Didn’t they say that they don’t love others? What do you care what he’s doing outside? ”
Ling Mengzhan was stunned as she felt that her reaction was a bit too excessive. She retorted: “Who said I care about him? I’m angry with this bowl of congee. Mom, you forgot to put mushrooms in the congee again. I won’t eat it. ”
After which, she got up and walked towards the entrance of the dining hall. Mrs. Ling was so angry that she stomped her feet behind her. “Damn brat, it’s getting harder and harder to serve you!”
Ling Meng Zhu ran back to the bedroom with her head held high. After changing her clothes, she picked up her bag and went to work.
