CHAPTER 360: CHAPTER 351: WAS HE ONCE A TRAITOR?

However, when Leng Lingxiao opened the door to the main bedroom on the third floor, the confident Tang Xiaowan was still stunned by the scene before her.

The entire room emitted a sweet, girlish charm, whether it was the curtains, the sofa, or the bedding, all were based on small floral patterns.

She had always favored this type of pattern.

Moreover, there was a large bouquet of bright red roses on the dresser, filling the air with their fragrance.

"Looks just like my bedroom at Mei Garden."

"Of course, I copied it, didn’t I?"

"The flowers are so beautiful, so fragrant too, let’s make rose pastries later... they will definitely be super delicious!"

"You really are a little glutton!"

Every corner was arranged warmly and romantically, but what surprised Tang Xiaowan the most was the many photos behind the soft fabric sofa, which occupied an entire wall.

At first, she thought they were just some decorations, but upon closer inspection, she realized they were not.

The photo frames were very simple in style but colorful. How many there were exactly, she was too excited to count, but there were many.

The photos were taken both domestically and internationally, from childhood to adulthood.

There were even photos from this year, in June and July.

Indeed, she hadn’t remembered wrong; she did go out to play with Leng Lingxiao at the beginning of the summer vacation, and they had even gone skiing.

Those weren’t dreams; they were all real, only that particular memory was too vague.

What moved Tang Xiaowan even more was that beneath the photos, there were two beautiful crystal jars filled with sticky notes, each conveying Leng Lingxiao’s love and longing for her.

"Would you be scared if I confessed my love?"

"Little one, you need to eat more and grow faster, hurry into my arms."

"No dating in high school, wait for me."

"Skipped classes again, hope it’s not for a date, or I’ll be heartbroken."

"Alone abroad, I miss you so much."

As she reached in and randomly grabbed a note, each one was filled with love. Tang Xiaowan was deeply moved by this unexpected surprise, her eyes shimmering with tears.

So her Huahua had harbored feelings of love just like her, many years ago.

"Huahua, all these, so many, and these photos, did you prepare all these surprises secretly... for me today?"

"I told you not to guess wildly, little rascal!"

"No wonder today, Meijuan and Cheng Shi seemed busy with something, all secretive."

"Just be nicer to me from now on."

Hearing this, Tang Xiaowan’s nose suddenly tingled, and she immediately hugged Leng Lingxiao tightly.

This surprise was just too wonderful, exactly what she needed, because many photos could help fill the gaps in her memory.

"What’s wrong, don’t you like it, aren’t you happy?"

"No, I love it, I really do!"

"Since you like it... why cry then?" Leng Lingxiao tenderly wiped away Tang Xiaowan’s tears, and then gently teased her nose.

"I knew there would be many photos, ’Me and You,’ ’ours,’ but... I remember nothing. The other day... my memory came back, but I still didn’t know where the photos were? It felt so terrible, like I had forgotten something very important, I don’t know..."

As she spoke, Tang Xiaowan was sobbing uncontrollably, heartbroken.

Those were her precious possessions!

Actually, the photos hung on the wall were just a part that Leng Lingxiao had kept himself.

Perhaps Grandma Tang had hidden them away.

Could Xiao Wan’s album... contain photos I don’t have?

Could those photos stir her memories?

Leng Lingxiao speculated this and lightly kissed Tang Xiaowan’s smooth forehead.

"Sweetheart, don’t cry, it’s all in the past."

"Huahua, it’s so nice to have you."

"Simply talking won’t do, someone seemed to have said they’d make it up to me tonight, what, planning to go back on your word?"

Ling Xiao stared steadily at Tang Xiaowan, his thin lips slightly curved in a mischievous smirk, radiating a sense of pride as if he was about to pounce like a hungry wolf at any moment.

"I didn’t, I really didn’t."

Having said that, Tang Xiaowan bashfully lowered her head, and Ling Xiao gently lifted her in his arms, walking toward the large mahogany bed, the light soft and warm.

At this moment, only Huahua and Tangtang were here, no one could disturb their little happiness.

"Tangtang, I love you!"

Tang Xiaowan flashed a sweet smile, "Huahua."

"Promise me, Tangtang, this lifetime... no matter what, don’t ever leave me, alright?"

"Okay, I promise you."

Immediately after, Ling Xiao tenderly embraced Tang Xiaowan, unzipped her dress, delicately taking care of her somewhat flustered emotions, his eyes filled with endless love.

Though Tang Xiaowan was a bit shy, her cheeks tinged with a touch of red, even slightly nervous, her heart was filled with anticipation.

She loved him, adoring him with all her heart.

Little did she know, he loved her even more, crazily so, having waited for her all those years.

Now, he had finally gotten his wish!

"Huahua, do you think... after tonight, I’ll no longer be a little girl?" Tang Xiaowan’s voice was faint, her heartbeat racing faster and faster, she could barely keep up with her breathing.

"No, you’ll always be, tell me you love me."

"I love you, Huahua, I love you!"

"Tangtang, you’ll always be mine, belonging only to me, Ling Xiao, right?"

"Yes, I’ll always be yours."

"I love you, Tangtang, forever and ever!"

Gradually, Ling Xiao melted into the profound love, and Tang Xiaowan felt his warmth, their hearts fused together on this special night, tightly clinging to each other.

...

However, at this moment, in Huang City, Chunlei Street No. 66, a different scene unfolded.

Mrs. Tang had just entered the study and turned on the light when a deep voice came from the direction of the balcony.

"Mrs. Tang... Long time no see!"

Then, a tall man with a cold face and sharp eyes, exuding an air of inviolability, slowly approached.

"Oh, it’s Mr. Wang."

Wang Junchen smirked coldly and asked, "Speak, where did my people go?"

"Shen Shiyi isn’t under your control... We’re all united, so how could it be that someone would abandon you?"

Mrs. Tang’s demeanor was calm and confident, her speech slow yet forceful, each word carrying an undeniable superiority.

"Actually... Mrs. Tang knows very well, why bother giving me these excuses?"

Of course, Mrs. Tang knew what Wang Junchen meant by Lin Xiaoxiao and Lei Ziyi secretly leaving, two prominent organization members just disappeared without a trace.

This was a considerable loss for Wang Junchen!

"I heard the day after tomorrow... is Ye Wanhua’s birthday, doesn’t Mr. Wang need to prepare?"

Wang Junchen’s eyes turned icy upon hearing this, his fists clenched: "Dare to touch Ah Hua and see? Take care of your precious granddaughter, make sure she doesn’t wander off."

With this statement, Mrs. Tang promptly sat down.

Wang Junchen didn’t hesitate either and sat down on the couch, sitting up straight.

"Mrs. Tang, perhaps you should consider..."

"There’s no need for Mr. Wang to trouble himself, Tangtang is naturally well-protected, there are no issues with her safety, better take care of your own people first."

"Unexpectedly, you trust him that much?"

Mrs. Tang’s lips curled up in a cold chuckle: "If I don’t trust him... should I trust a traitor?"
