CHAPTER 272: CHAPTER 272 HEARTLESS WOMAN

With this thought, Qin Huaixin realized her clothes were already soaked through with tears.

Through her blurred, tearful eyes, she saw a man squatting in front of her, dressed in a black suit.

He watched her quietly, and when she stopped crying, he spoke in a deep voice, "Sister-in-law, shall I go and tell Leng Yixing right now that you are here?"

Qin Huaixin refused without a second thought, "Listen to me, you must not tell him. I need your help. If that person finds out about your relationship with Yixing, it’s all over."

The man shook his head, "My life was given to me by Yixing, and if something happens, I’ll take the responsibility."

After all, he had been Leng Qifeng’s right-hand man for years and knew quite a few of his secrets; any single one could be enough for a life sentence.

Qin Huaixin still insisted, "I’m begging you, if Leng Yixing wanted to come home he wouldn’t have waited till now. And you said it yourself, he would rather leave the army to strive on his own than come back and accept that person’s arrangements. There’s no need to ruin his future for my sake."

Perhaps once she gave birth to the child, Leng Qifeng would let her go.

He Ning did not speak again. He had his considerations too, after all, this matter was related to the future of Leng Yixing, and he did not dare to make a rash decision.

After a moment of silence, he opened the food container, "I bought some pastries according to your taste. Eat as much as you can."

Qin Huaixin: "...Okay."

Only by eating well would she have the energy to figure out how to get out early. Wait and see, she would definitely take her revenge!

When Lu Jinyang received a call from Leng Yixing, he was getting ready to go to bed with his wife.

He hung up the phone with a dark face, while Zhuang Shuqing curled up with the blanket, snickering.

He said, "Wait until I get back, then I’ll deal with you!"

Zhuang Shuqing made a face at him, seemingly owed a good "sleep," which made the fire in Lu Jinyang’s heart burn even fiercer.

He darkly grabbed his clothes and went into the bathroom. It took him a while to come out, get dressed, and seeing Zhuang Shuqing staring at him intently made him tense up, almost unable to resist taking off the clothes he had just put on.

Zhuang Shuqing knew exactly what he was thinking; she smiled flirtatiously, and even waved her hand to hurry him out the door.

...

No.9 Mansion

Lu Jinyang watched Leng Yixing down one drink after another with a gloomy expression, his thin lips pressed into a cold, straight line.

When he was nearly drunk, Lu Jinyang finally spoke up.

"Did you call me here just to watch you drink?" If it wasn’t for the fact that he pitied him for losing his woman, he wouldn’t bother dealing with such a living corpse.

Yes, a living corpse!

If this had been before, he definitely would have been dismissive—it’s just a woman.

But now he didn’t think that way anymore.

Leng Yixing was drunk but not completely, chuckling, "Lu Shao, Jinyang, brother~ I’ll only tell you, damn it, I really can’t live without that woman now."

Leng Yixing picked up his glass to drink another round, letting out a loud belch, and continued to ramble, "I also want to forget her, but that heartless woman has disappeared without a trace. I’ve spent so many days looking for her, but I can find no news of her. Damn, I never thought I’d fall so hard for such a cold-hearted woman."

Lu Jinyang stood with his arms crossed over his chest, quietly listening to him talk.

In the private room, the only sounds were Leng Yixing pouring drinks and his voice.

After a pause, he continued, "Brother, that damn old man wants to force a woman on me... If I don’t find that heartless woman by tomorrow, no, the day after tomorrow, I’ll go on a blind date..."
