Chapter 210: Chapter 210: Specially Delivering Medicinal Meals

"Wait a second, will that girl sell me out later?"

"Rest assured, that’s absolutely impossible."

"That’s good, that’s good, I was so scared. Now I can sleep peacefully tonight!"

A hearty laugh came from the other end of the phone.

Leng Lingxiao knew very well that Wang Jinhui wasn’t the timid type, it was just his habit to joke around and banter when there was nothing else to do.

"By the way, Brother Wang, when you have time tonight, find a hidden spot inside and carve..."

"I know, I know, it’s Tangtang, right?"

Leng Lingxiao shook his head and got up to walk towards the main door: "Long life and prosperity. Carve it a bit smaller and choose a place that’s hidden, so Tangtang can’t find it too easily, haha."

His voice was not loud, but it carried a laugh.

"Isn’t that a bit too cliché?"

"What’s cliché? This blessing is so sincere."

...

Sitting in the pavilion, Tang Xiaowan couldn’t help but smile as she watched.

Running off that far, afraid I’ll hear?

Could it be that he wanted to carve something inside as a little surprise for me?

But true to Huahua’s word, everyone he referred was trustworthy. They said it would take five days and indeed, it took exactly five days.

Huahua, Huahua, such a feminine name!

What was I thinking at that time? This guy seemed so meticulous, I didn’t mind and just agreed?

The Lingxiao flower adapts extremely well, thriving with air roots among its branches, and conquering the artificial rocks of Mei Garden and the outer walls of the house with ease.

The gentle breeze made the scenery exceptionally beautiful.

Yet, when Leng Lingxiao planted it, it wasn’t just for Tang Xiaowan to enjoy in her leisure time or to constantly remind her of himself.

The meaning of the Lingxiao flower includes "bravery" and "strength," not only embodying the selfless devotion of motherly love but also representing pure romance, friendship’s vigilance, metaphorically eternal friendship, and mutual trust and gratitude.

Whether it was any of these meanings, it was extremely fitting for Tang Xiaowan.

Having lost her mother’s companionship since childhood, besides the people of Mei Garden, Leng Lingxiao was the only friend she could confide in.

Their trust in each other was already ingrained deep into their bone marrow. Even if Tang Xiaowan had forgotten, the subconscious remnants in her mind persisted. That’s why, upon seeing Leng Lingxiao for the first time after her amnesia, she felt a sense of familiarity and didn’t treat him as a villain.

She dared not take the medicine Li Zishen gave her, but she swallowed the one from Leng Lingxiao without even thinking about it.

"It’s really done perfect!"

Leng Lingxiao approached quickly, his face filled with smiles.

"Which old place is it?" Tang Xiaowan said slowly, her eyes, however, fixed intently on the injured part of Leng Lingxiao.

"Where you’ve been before, Cui’s Knife Shop."

Tang Xiaowan immediately smiled upon hearing this.

Last weekend when she returned to Qingcheng and saw Huang City’s richest man, Wang Jinhui, for the first time, she thought he was that scruffy Old Man Cui, just didn’t understand why he had two completely different identities.

"Looks like I wasn’t wrong that day, Wang Jinhui is Old Man Cui, he’s really an interesting person. Could it be that he enjoys role-playing?"

"Pretty much."

"Hey, why didn’t you say so at the time?"

"Such things... need the person’s consent, right?"

"Oh, true, it’s private."

...

By this time, it was evening. Not far from Building 29, a pair of eyes was watching them.

Every hearty laugh of Tang Xiaowan, every grape thrown and caught, was captured in the man’s abyss-like phoenix eyes.

Why has she never been so happy in front of me? She laughed, but it was different!

"My care and love for you, how are they inferior to his? Why is Leng Lingxiao the one who is Huahua? You wrote about him in your diary, with Grandma, but not me. Why?"

"Why am I not mentioned in your diary, not even a single word?"

"On those days I couldn’t see you, were you together every day, so happy, talking and laughing?"

Li Zishen had arrived five minutes ago.

As he was riding in an ordinary sedan used exclusively by bodyguards, Tang Xiaowan didn’t notice him.

Even if she had noticed, it probably wouldn’t have made much difference, she wouldn’t have jumped up with joy, she wouldn’t have run up to him for a hug, at most she would have lifted her head high and mocked him fiercely, accusing him of being a peeping Tom or a stalker.

At least that’s what Li Zishen thought in his heart.

Although he had come specifically to see her, it wasn’t for spying or stalking.

He hadn’t gone to school for a day and was a bit worried.

Regarding the diary Tang Xiaowan found in Mei Garden, Li Zishen had also been puzzled and even angry, but none of that compared to the blow of what he witnessed right then.

He was always very proud, yet with Tang Xiaowan, he repeatedly felt defeated.

"Brother Shen, should I take the insulated lunch box to Lady Tang..."

"No need, let’s go back."

Bai Long had just reached out his hand, but upon hearing those three chilling words of Li Zishen, he quickly withdrew it.

The car started and slowly drove away.

The insulated lunch box contained a medicinal meal he had cooked himself, specifically for dealing with the effects of eating too many chili peppers.

He hadn’t known how to make it initially and had specifically asked Li Weilian before preparing it in the kitchen.

Bai Long, who had just come back from running errands, added a meal there. When the medicinal meal was ready, he got into the sedan and drove to Jinyuan Academy together.

The stomach ache is fake, right?

Maybe, you just didn’t want to go to school!

Or is it to accompany him?

Various messy guesses once again filled the man’s mind, just like last time.

He could not accept it, nor was he willing to accept it.

As they were leaving Jinyuan Academy, Li Zishen’s thin lips curled slightly, and he coldly said, "Check when Building 28 was transferred to Leng Lingxiao’s name. And... Jinshan Villa."

"Yes, Brother Shen."

Bai Long frowned, gripping the steering wheel tightly.

...

Li Garden, study room.

Just as Bai Long had guessed on the way, Li Zishen started throwing things as soon as he entered.

The object of his venting was still the laptop.

Maybe because it was the third time this had happened, the computer Chen Xin had prepared for Li Zishen this time was exceptionally sturdy, very resistant to being thrown; it was hard-smashed and didn’t fall apart.

Bai Long said nothing, just stood there.

"Bai Long, go check it now, immediately, I want to see results before dawn."

Bai Long was somewhat surprised and troubled.

It was already ten o’clock at night, and even someone as capable as Bai Long could not possibly achieve such a feat, to get results before dawn.

But he couldn’t object because Li Zishen was still furious, and nothing would get through to him.

"Yes, Brother Shen, I’ll go right now."

The study room door was slowly opened, and Bai Long was just stepping out with one foot, his right hand not yet having let go of the doorknob when Li Zishen’s deep and exceedingly cold voice came from behind him.

"Forget it, no need to check."

Bai Long, unsure of his meaning, hastily turned around, "Brother Shen, aren’t we checking Leng Lingxiao’s Building 28 and Jinshan Villa anymore?"

"You’ve had a long day, go and rest."
