Chapter 167: Chapter 167: Hastily Departing

After a long time, she seemed to hear someone whispering behind her:

"The person standing at the door looks very much like Ji Wei from the back."

"Yeah, let’s go check it out. If it is, we can get an autograph."

Her body trembled. Ji Wei pulled her large sunglasses down a little more, letting more of her hair fall to cover her face, and lowered her head to leave.

She was very mindful of her appearance. Such an expression could not be photographed, otherwise those gossipers could start speculating about anything. Moreover, across from her were Leng Yan and Wen Nuan, and this restaurant also had Leng Ye. She couldn’t imagine if she were recognized and caused a commotion, how she would face Leng Yan’s questioning if he discovered she was dining with Leng Ye.

After all, Leng Ye and Leng Yan had always been on opposing sides, like water and fire.

Watching Ji Wei leave in a hurry, Leng Ye’s lips curved slightly, a mocking smile playing across them.

This woman really had guts, even daring to toy with death. But this was good too, since only her unscrupulous means could make Wen Nuan resolutely leave Leng Yan.

This outcome was to his liking!

The phone rang abruptly, and Leng Ye’s smile deepened as he looked at the flashing number.

"Proceed as planned. I saw the analysis you sent to my computer last night, and it looked good!" After the other party finished speaking, Leng Ye stroked his chin, smiling lightly. His eyes pierced through the potted plant, watching Leng Yan and Wen Nuan showing affection. That smile suddenly turned sharp and chilly.

Nuannuan...

This vibrant girl had, from the first meeting, made him aware of her differences from other rich young ladies. It was as if a spell was drawing him in, particularly when he saw Leng Yan pinching her waist, signaling her not to pay attention to him, his heart unexpectedly trembled for the first time.

He felt an impulsive urge to snatch her away on the spot.

If love at first sight really existed, he believed it was how he felt for Wen Nuan.

Leng Yan, Leng Siyan...

Leng Group...

He scoffed inwardly, the warmth on his face already replaced by icy coldness: he swore he wouldn’t let a single one off!

Picking up the phone, he dialed a number. After hanging up, Leng Ye watched the changes happening across from him.

Soon, Leng Yan’s phone rang. Glancing at the number, he frowned slightly before answering.

"Okay, I’ll head back right away." After listening, Leng Yan’s face turned serious. Putting down the phone, he looked at Wen Nuan with guilt: "Nuannuan, I can’t take you back."

"Is it something at the company?" Wen Nuan instinctively asked. Being close to him, she vaguely heard a man’s voice saying something anxiously.

"Yes, something at the company needs attention. I have to leave immediately. I’ll call Xiao Jing to take you!" Leng Yan said while dialing Xiao Jing’s number.

Wen Nuan quickly stopped him: "No need, I can go back by myself. It’s close to the company from here, I’ll take a taxi back."

"Hmm, alright." With urgent matters at hand, Leng Yan nodded and left quickly.

Lately, there had been some issues at the company, and since Leng Ye mainly handled international business and was rarely at the group, many things needed his attention.

After retrieving his car and driving off, he glanced at the rear-view mirror, a familiar shadow slightly shocking him.

Was it Leng Ye’s?

He tried to see more clearly, but a car passing by blocked his view of Leng Ye’s vehicle from the opposite parking spot.

Leng Yan laughed self-deprecatingly: so what if it was him?

Seeing the empty place across, Wen Nuan lost her appetite for more than a couple of bites, gave a helpless smile, packed up, and paid the bill before leaving the restaurant.

Standing by the roadside, just as she was about to hail a taxi, a silver-grey car stopped beside her, and the window rolled down slowly, revealing a familiar handsome face.

"Nuannuan, trying to catch a taxi?"

Leng Ye smiled gently at Wen Nuan.
