CHAPTER 548: CHAPTER 510 GETTING SLEEPY WHILE EATING

A minute later, Tang Xiaowan finished replying to Cheng Shi’s message and called Leng Lingxiao.

Soon, a gentle voice came through the phone, "You didn’t call me when you woke up, and now you remember me? Do you not miss me?"

He of course knew his little wife kept him in her heart; she must have been busy with something and got held up.

Moreover, calling three times a day wasn’t a strict requirement; he just didn’t want Tang Xiaowan to impulsively go to Jin City to avenge her mother, Ye Wanhua, and put herself in danger.

"Tangtang, speak up, what’s wrong?"

If something had gone wrong in Jin City, a phone call from him could settle it.

"Withdraw everyone," Tang Xiaowan moved a bit further from the staircase and leaned against the wall, a glint of tears shimmering in her beautiful eyes.

Leng Lingxiao was momentarily stunned.

What did she mean? Was she not seeking revenge anymore?

Worried he misunderstood, he feigned calmness and chuckled, "Withdraw what?"

Silence fell on the other end of the phone again.

"What’s wrong, Tangtang? Speak up."

"Huahua, I know you sent people to Nanjiang Villa... to prevent me from being at a disadvantage, right?" Tang Xiaowan took a deep breath and swiftly glanced at the staircase, "Withdraw everyone, I’m not going anymore. Yuan Min has done so many detestable things; someone else will deal with her. There’s no need for me to act."

"Tangtang, is that really what you think, or are you just tricking me?"

Leng Lingxiao still wanted to confirm.

He suspected his little wife said this to keep him out of the situation intentionally.

"Huahua, I’ve thought it over. Wang Junchen definitely has his plans, and the ceasefire is only temporary. Moreover... our wedding is just a few days away. No matter how big other matters are... the wedding is the most important!"

Hearing this, Leng Lingxiao breathed a sigh of relief but still felt something was off.

Why had she suddenly changed her mind?

He turned his head and signaled Zhao Renjie, who was waiting for orders, and casually added, "Alright, I’ll arrange it in a bit."

"Just withdraw everyone."

"Don’t worry, understood. By the way, you haven’t answered my question yet. Do you not miss me?"

Tang Xiaowan smiled sweetly, "I do."

"Oh? Tell me, what do you miss?"

"Your extraordinary presence, your sharp brows and starry eyes, your wise mind, and your firm... All imprinted on my aesthetic. Where do you think I miss? Stop teasing, you know the answers."

Her soft and sticky voice was a delight to listen to.

"Let’s video call after dinner?" Leng Lingxiao raised his foot and casually rested it on the solid wood coffee table.

"Why? Don’t you trust me?"

It wasn’t that he didn’t trust his little wife, but this decision was too out of the ordinary. He suspected she had other plans and wasn’t truly giving up on revenge.

Since you don’t want to say, I won’t ask.

The mercenaries hidden near Nanjiang Villa would withdraw but wouldn’t leave Jin City.

At this moment, perhaps only by holding her hand tightly and staying by her side would he feel at ease; otherwise, he would always feel unsettled.

"Nonsense, can’t I just miss you?"

"Oh, then let’s hang up for now, ha."

"Where are you going?"

Leng Lingxiao suddenly stood up.

"Going to have dinner!" Tang Xiaowan blinked her big eyes, "Didn’t you say you wanted to video chat?"

"Oh, eat slowly, no rush."

"You too."

"Alright, got it."

How could he possibly eat slowly? The food had been tasteless anyway. He hadn’t had a proper meal since they separated yesterday.

There were fruits and snacks on the coffee table; he just dealt with them quickly.

The sky is vast, the earth is vast, but the wife is the greatest!

Whenever his "Little Wife" faced any mishap, he would definitely have the entire Leng Family buried with her.

Zhao Renjie was nothing compared to that!

At that moment, on the other side, Tang Xiaowan breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to the dining room.

Everyone was waiting for her to start the meal.

The lunch was lavish, and the servants had already set out the food and necessary utensils.

Madam Leng, Yang Aihua, had not only arranged for nourishing soup, braised pork trotters, lamb ribs, but also homemade dried fruits and vegetables, pastries, and chocolates.

Elderly affection was truly overflowing.

With a glance from Tang Mei, Li Fugui signaled the servants to exit the dining room with him.

"Go ahead and eat, Ah Hua and the others won’t be back."

Tang Xiaowan had already figured that Ye Wanhua and Wang Junchen wouldn’t return for lunch, since they surely had visitors from afar and would be hosting a meal.

She picked up her soup bowl and stirred gently with a spoon, "Grandma, why didn’t I see you this morning?"

"In the yoga room."

"Exercising again?"

"I have to stay active at my age."

"Grandma, please don’t think about dieting, you’re thin enough," Tang Xiaowan smiled and set down her soup bowl, picking up some boneless pork trotter meat for Tang Mei, "Grandpa likes the plumper type, too skinny doesn’t look good."

Wang Jinhui: "..."

He meant not too skinny, without some fat it wouldn’t work, relying solely on veggies could lead to malnutrition.

How could she take it out of context?

Silly child, Grandma might get the wrong idea!

"Oh? Am I too thin?" Tang Mei picked up some pork trotter meat, nibbled a small bite, her face emotionless, showing neither happiness nor anger.

"Yes, Grandpa just upstairs..."

Wang Jinhui coughed lightly twice and quickly served Tang Mei some greens, "Try these, they look so fresh, and these too, picked early morning from the garden."

"Mmm, they are quite fresh, not bad."

She accepted everything served on her plate and readily ate it all.

"Grandma, try the soup, it smells so good, different from yesterday’s, Aunt Yang’s soup really is exceptional, must have started early in the morning..."

Before Tang Xiaowan could finish, she suddenly thumped onto the dining table.

It was so abrupt, it startled Wang Jinhui.

"Tangtang, Tangtang?"

"Stop shouting, let her sleep properly."

Seeing Tang Mei so composed, as if she had expected this, Wang Jinhui squinted his eyes, his firm lips twitching slightly.

"Still standing there for what? Carry her upstairs."

"Did you put something in this soup?"

Tang Mei didn’t respond and slowly stood up.

"You said yesterday medicine is a poison in excess, Tangtang hasn’t done anything, she’s just been staying quietly at home, not gone to Jin City, why make such a fuss?"

"Can you carry her? If not, I’ll call Uncle Quan." Tang Mei raised an eyebrow, her words loaded with meaning.

It’s about a man’s pride now!

Wang Jinhui lifted his chin slightly, "No need."

It’s just a trick, right?

My beloved granddaughter handled by an outsider? What a joke! Impossible!

Do you really think my manliness is just for show?

So, he gently lifted Tang Xiaowan and glanced at Tang Mei with a tinge of jealousy again, "She hasn’t had much to eat, and now sleeping, who knows till when, won’t her stomach hurt from hunger? At least wait until she had her pork trotter and lamb ribs..."

"Stop rambling and just take her up."

With that, Tang Mei decisively left the dining room, a flicker of sharpness flashing in her deep eyes.
