After getting the marriage certificate, she was spoiled by her rich husband

in the kitchen.

Aunt Zhang and several servants were talking in low voices.

"Young Madam's parents are actually that kind of people. They really don't deserve to be parents."

"It's really too much for them to be so cruel to the young lady."

"With parents like this, it has been very difficult for Madam these years."

"The young lady is beautiful and kind, but her parents are unlucky."

"Fortunately, the young lady now has the young master, so she won't be bullied by others anymore."

……

"what are you guys saying?"

A cold and low voice suddenly came.

Everyone fell silent instantly.

Aunt Zhang and the servants were so frightened that they trembled and said in unison, "Master."

What they said was heard by Leng Xiaochen who just came back from get off work.

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes, and he frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

Aunt Zhang hurriedly stepped forward and replied nervously, "Master, the young mistress broke off relations with her parents today. She is in a bad mood and has been staying in the garden."

After hearing this, Leng Xiaochen's face became even gloomier, but his expression remained indifferent.

After a moment's silence, he walked towards the garden.

In the quiet and peaceful garden, the sun shines through the gaps between the branches and leaves, casting warm halos of light.

Su Qianman sat quietly in the rocking chair, as if blending into the peaceful atmosphere.

Her back revealed a hint of loneliness in the tranquility, as if shrouded in a faint sadness.

Leng Xiaochen walked slowly into this tranquility with steady steps.

His figure cast a long shadow in the sunlight, as if carrying a firm strength.

He came to Su Qianman and sat down quietly, and the familiar scent filled the air.

Su Qianman was not very surprised, she just said calmly: "You are back."

"Ah."

Leng Xiaochen's response was brief and indifferent.

The two of them just sat there quietly, enjoying a moment of peace.

There were not many words, but there was a tacit understanding flowing between them.

Looking at Su Qianman's quiet and slightly lonely profile, Leng Xiaochen felt a surge of pity in his heart.

His hand involuntarily reached out to her head, gently stroking the back of her head, and said gently but firmly: "It's okay, I'm here."

This sudden action made Su Qianman's eyes widen instantly, and a hint of surprise surged in her heart.

Is he...caring about her?

The servants of the Leng family must have told him everything.

Was he telling her that she was not alone and that he was by her side?

Su Qianman turned her head slightly and her eyes met Leng Xiaochen's.

That originally pretty face now looked a little haggard, but still exuded charming charm, which attracted Leng Xiaochen's attention involuntarily.

Her cheeks were slightly flushed in the sunlight, like a ripe apple, delicate and charming.

Su Qianman was a little flustered by his burning gaze and quickly turned her head away, not daring to look him in the eye again.

At this moment, Leng Xiaochen realized his own misconduct. He coughed lightly and said, "It's time to eat."

Su Qianman responded softly: "Okay."

Afterwards, Leng Xiaochen quickly stood up and left with firm steps, as if he was deliberately keeping a distance.

Looking at his departing back, Su Qianman felt a little confused.

He just left like this?

Aren't you going to wait for her?

The two didn't communicate much during the entire dinner.

Leng Xiaochen's expression remained indifferent, but his eyes would fall on Su Qianman from time to time.

The atmosphere in the restaurant seemed a bit dull.

Only the occasional clatter of cutlery broke the silence.

When dinner is over.

Leng Xiaochen stood up and said simply, "I'm going to the study to take care of some things."

Then he turned and left the restaurant.

How could this man be gentle at one moment and cold at another?

can't read.

Su Qianman also went straight back to the bedroom.

In the study.

The TV screen was playing the surveillance video of Su Qianman breaking off relations with her parents in the living room today.

Leng Xiaochen stood quietly in front of the screen, his eyes focused and sharp, as if he could see through the picture to see every emotional fluctuation in Su Qianman's heart in the video.

He looked at the slight red in Su Qianman's eyes, and ripples appeared in his heart, and his mood became quite complicated.

However, when he witnessed the calmness, decisiveness, intelligence and alertness displayed by Su Qianman in the video, his frown gradually relaxed.

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile, which was an appreciation from the heart.

After a while, the door was gently pushed open and Butler Yan walked in quietly.

He held a severance agreement in his hand and handed it to Leng Xiaochen respectfully.

Leng Xiaochen stretched out his slender fingers and took the agreement.

"The young lady didn't notice, did she?"

There was a hint of inquiry in the deep voice.

Butler Yan bowed slightly and replied in a humble tone, "Master, no. After I copied it as you instructed, I quietly put it back to its original place without attracting anyone's attention."

Leng Xiaochen nodded slightly to show his satisfaction.

Then he waved his hand, signaling Butler Yan to go out.

Butler Yan turned and left, gently closing the heavy door of the study.

Leng Xiaochen looked down at the agreement in his hand again, his fingers gently stroking the paper, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

It turns out that most of the content of this agreement is about the Leng family.

Is she doing this... to protect the Leng family?

Don’t want that family of vampires to get involved with the Leng family?

This woman...

Leng Xiaochen couldn't help but show a look of pity on his face.

His eyes became deeper and deeper, containing complex emotions and thoughts.

After an unknown amount of time, Leng Xiaochen slowly stood up and walked towards the window with steady steps.

He stared quietly at the hazy scenery outside the window, with an indescribable complex emotion surging in his heart.

Picking up the phone, he dialed the number firmly and said softly, "Mom, you and Dad should come over tomorrow to meet your daughter-in-law."

There was silence for a moment on the other end of the phone, and then an excited voice came: "Son, you finally let us see Manman. If you hadn't stopped us before, we would have gone to see her on the day you got your marriage certificate."

Leng Xiaochen's voice was still a little indifferent, and he responded: "Then the time is not right."

He knew very well that Su Qianman did not marry him out of love.

It could be an accident that night, it could be revenge against the Su family, or it could be other factors...

But these are no longer important to him. He just wants to stay by her side silently, and that is enough.

Because of this, he had been silently preventing his parents from showing up rashly, so as not to bring unnecessary pressure to her.

He should give her enough space and time.

But now, she has no home...

What he wants to do is to give her a warm harbor and a shoulder to lean on.

The mother quickly responded: "Yes, we all understand, so we have been listening to you. After giving her some time to adapt to the Leng family, we will go to see her."

Leng Xiaochen nodded slightly, with a hint of certainty in his tone: "Then it's settled, Mom, you and Dad will come over tomorrow."

The mother replied excitedly: "Okay, we will be there on time."

After hanging up the phone, he sent a message to Su Qianman: "My parents will come over tomorrow."

Su Qianman: [Okay.]
