CHAPTER 345: CHAPTER 337 SHE HAS A NEW IDENTITY

On the second floor in the master bedroom, after Tang Xiaowan finished her bath and had just lain down, preparing to stretch lazily, Leng Lingxiao suddenly barged in and sat down right next to the bed.

Their eyes met, and they were very close.

Although Tang Xiaowan was a bit taken aback, she still managed to smile with feigned nonchalance, "Is there... something you need?"

"Tangtang, do you think I’m old?"

The man’s gaze was intense, his voice deep, as he stared at her foolishly.

How could she think he was old? In her heart, he was incredibly handsome, so much so that it was almost universally annoying.

At that moment, she even wanted to reach out and touch those captivating eyes.

"No, not old at all, not in the slightest."

"You mean it?"

"Of course, look at those handsome features, and these strong muscles, how could..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Leng Lingxiao leaned in. Tang Xiaowan suddenly felt a warm sensation on her neck, a peculiar and extraordinary feeling, but immediately after came an inexplicable nervousness.

"Huahua, I’m a bit... "

"Be good, don’t move."

The man’s deep voice reached her ear, filled with a bewitching power.

Tang Xiaowan’s cheeks flushed, and her heart raced.

Immediately, Leng Lingxiao tenderly covered her lips with his, their breath becoming heavier, and Tang Xiaowan received the heat.

She didn’t know how long the kiss lasted, but the man showed no sign of stopping.

This isn’t good, we can’t go on like this!

It’s not the right time, things will go wrong!

All sorts of worries suddenly flooded Tang Xiaowan’s mind, her thoughts in tumult. Just as she was about to push Leng Lingxiao away, the man stopped on his own accord.

"Silly girl, what are you afraid of?"

"Huahua, I..."

"Do you really think your fiancé, I, have no self-control?"

Tang Xiaowan bit her lip, her mind in disarray.

Self-control? Do you have any?

Feels like you’re about to devour me!

Leng Lingxiao looked at the bashful face of Tang Xiaowan, the tension causing fine beads of sweat to form on her nose, which he kissed away gently, disappearing.

The action was tender, the look in his eyes even more so.

"Still afraid now?"

"No... not afraid."

Not afraid? But her clenched fists said everything—she really was too nervous.

"Close your eyes and sleep."

Tang Xiaowan bit her lip, overcome by the man’s pheromones, unable to move.

How could she sleep while being held like this?

Leng Lingxiao seemed to have read her mind and smiled as he withdrew his arm, then tenderly kissed her smooth forehead.

Without a word, he got up and left.

Originally, he had wanted to fall asleep holding her, even if just simply lying together would suffice.

But reason told him that it wasn’t right.

That night, in their respective rooms, they both reminisced about the past, especially Leng Lingxiao, who had to take two cold baths before he could fall asleep.

...

Next day, seven in the morning.

At this moment, Tang Xiaowan was still deeply asleep, and Wang Meijuan did not come to wake her as usual.

Cheng Shi didn’t go to check on the black motorcycle either.

About half an hour later.

Just as Tang Xiaowan opened her lethargic eyes, she saw Leng Lingxiao’s handsome face smiling down at her, his hair styled perfectly, exuding vibrancy, and wearing a crisp white shirt with a tie.

She was instantly wide awake.

"Huahua, are you... going to a meeting?"

Tang Xiaowan hadn’t forgotten the events of the previous evening. This man must have some sort of naughty plan, dressing up so neatly!

Sure enough, she was scooped up by the man without any warning, totally unprepared.

"What are you doing? Hey, Huahua, Huahua?"

A bad feeling suddenly came over her. Not again? Although I love you, love you to the bone, we still have to follow the rules!

Her rule was that they had to be married first.

But right now, there were still many things that hadn’t been figured out, and she didn’t even know who the mastermind behind the scenes was. She didn’t want to enter into marriage so soon; what if she ended up birthing a whole bunch of children? That would certainly drive her crazy with their incessant nagging.

While she was lost in her wild thoughts, she found herself placed on a sofa in the dressing room.

"Get changed."

I was scared to death, it’s just changing clothes!

Yes, I still have to go to work, the master said there’s a meeting today, and I can’t be late.

But... what time is it now?

"This one," Leng Lingxiao picked out a white dress and placed it next to Tang Xiaowan, "Remember to wash up, I’ll be waiting outside for you."

"Oh, okay."

After he left, Tang Xiaowan finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the dress with a giggly smile.

Didn’t he promise to take me on his motorcycle?

Going straight to work in a dress?

Tang Xiaowan pouted but didn’t think too much of it and quickly changed into the haute couture dress.

Twenty minutes later.

Tang Xiaowan was pulled into the study by Leng Lingxiao, who said he had a surprise prepared for her.

To her astonishment, as soon as she walked in.

"Who are they..."

Tang Xiaowan looked at three unfamiliar faces, one holding a camera, another with a file folder, and one who looked very grave, like a lawyer or a teacher.

Leng Lingxiao gently teased Tang Xiaowan’s nose tip: "They’re here to help us with the paperwork."

"Paper... work? What kind of paperwork?"

"Marriage certificate, and... a transfer of stock ownership."

Tang Xiaowan’s entire being froze, thinking: Get a certificate? Shouldn’t we go to the relevant department for that? And what does transfer of stock ownership mean?

"Huahua, maybe... we wait a bit more?"

"No need to wait, we’ll do it today," Leng Lingxiao stated firmly, his tone commanding.

Everyone instantly became tense.

Tang Xiaowan frowned: "But..."

"Do you love me?" Leng Lingxiao interrupted.

"Love, of course, I love you, very much," Tang Xiaowan quickly answered, afraid that Leng Lingxiao might misunderstand.

Everyone present heard this statement.

The officials handling the paperwork exchanged smiles of relief, silently relieved in their hearts: Good, good, it’s not coercion or forced marriage.

Although Mr. Leng is handsome and affluent, they hoped the process was fair and legal.

"Since you love me, prove it to me."

"With... getting a certificate, to prove it?" Tang Xiaowan widened her eyes, gazing steadfastly at Leng Lingxiao.

"Is that okay?"

God, that commanding look in his eyes, that domineering tone, could I even reject him?

I love you, I really, really love you!

But, is it truly the end of my free and easy single life, just like that?

From now on, will I be a married woman?

"Since there are no objections, let’s start," Leng Lingxiao said gently looking at Tang Xiaowan, and then turned to the staff members present.

Tang Xiaowan: "..."

"Huahua, I still have to go to work."

"I’ve already asked for your leave."

"But there’s a meeting today, my master reminded me specially before we closed work yesterday."

Leng Lingxiao frowned: "Hmm? Master?"

Has she just gone to work for one day, and now there’s a master?

Could it be... one of the nerds from the R&D department?

"It’s not what you think, just an old employee, after all, it’s my first day, so I need someone with more seniority... to mentor me."

Tang Xiaowan hastily explained a whole lot.

Little did she know, she was already being led by Leng Lingxiao to a leather armchair that had been prepared in advance.

"Here, Tangtang, sit down."

"But, Huahua, I haven’t yet... you said it looks better loose, so..."

Seeing how nervous Tang Xiaowan was, practically speaking incoherently, Leng Lingxiao gently stroked her long hair, softly saying: "It’s nice this way, you’re already very beautiful, and the rest... doesn’t matter."

After hearing this, Tang Xiaowan couldn’t help but smile at the corner of her mouth.
