Chapter : 07
The Rich Young Master’s Ex-Girlfriend (7)
Leng Ziyue chatted with Leng Rui casually and instructed the servants to prepare a breakfast for him as well. Seeing a woman in pajamas at the dining table, he wasn’t surprised at all.
His dad always brought women home, but usually, they wouldn’t last more than three days before disappearing from the villa. The longest one stayed, he remembered, was half a month?
“Why are you back today?”
Leng Rui’s voice made Leng Ziyue sit up straight. He was somewhat afraid of Leng Rui. Ever since adopting him, Leng Rui had undergone a vasectomyāif he could be so ruthless to himself, wasn’t that terrifying?
Moreover, Leng Rui frequently brought women back to the villa. Leng Ziyue guessed that his dad did it to enjoy his freedom without risking any pregnancies.
Lastly, Leng Rui’s style of conduct was ruthless, so in Leng Ziyue’s mind, he saw him as a cold and heartless man. Perhaps the only reason he was adopted was to have an heir.
“Dad, I…”
Leng Rui looked up. “Back for money?”
“How much?”
Leng Ziyue clenched his fists and glanced at the woman nearby, who seemed to be reading a contract. He thought to himselfāshe must want something to be here in the villa. She was still in pajamas, so without a doubt, something wild must have happened in the villa last night.
Leng Ziyue felt somewhat relieved that he hadn’t come back earlier.
“There’s no problem with the contract. I’ll sign it.”
Just as Leng Ziyue was about to say how much he needed, the woman’s voice suddenly rang out, catching him off guard.
When Tang Guo looked up, he jumped up at once. He was about to exclaim, “Xiao Guo, what are you doing here?” when he felt Leng Rui’s sharp gaze on him. The words got stuck in his throat.
He could only stare wide-eyed at Tang Guo and slowly sit back down.
Tang Guo merely glanced at him before signing her name on the contract.
Leng Ziyue stared at Tang Guo for a long time until Leng Rui’s gaze fell on him again. He quickly averted his eyes, even forgetting why he had come back in the first place.
His mind was filled with one thought: How did Xiao Guo end up in the villa?
How was Xiao Guo in the villa, still in her pajamas? Had she already become his father’s woman?
Had he hurt Xiao Guo so much that she… she had given up on herself and just picked any man?
He wanted to ask Tang Guo right then, but unfortunately, she was now his father’s woman. If he dared to ask, both he and Xiao Guo would be done for.
Leng Ziyue’s gaze was anxious, but Leng Rui had no patience.
“Didn’t you come back for money?”
“Yes, I came back for money.”
Leng Ziyue’s brain was still lagging. When Leng Rui asked, he blurted it out without thinking.
The moment he said it, he regretted it. It would have been fine if it were any other woman, but this was Tang Guoāhis ex-girlfriend.
He had only treated Tang Guo as a substitute for Lu Qi. He didn’t want to do anything to betray Lu Qi, so they had just been a simple boyfriend-girlfriend couple.
But regardless of whether there was any physical intimacy, they were still in a relationship!
Why, why did Xiao Guo become his father’s woman?
“How much?”
Leng Rui’s voice pulled Leng Ziyue back to reality. He looked longingly at Tang Guo, gritted his teeth, and said, “Twenty million.”
He had expected Leng Rui to say something more, and Tang Guo to give him some strange look. Instead, Tang Guo ate her breakfast slowly.
As for Leng Rui, he took out a checkbook, quickly filled in the amount, signed it, and casually tossed the check in front of himāwithout a hint of hesitation, clean and crisp, effortlessly dashing.
“Next time you need money, just ask directly. Don’t beat around the bush.”
