Ferocious Boss: Hubby, Let's Get Married - Chapter 197
Chapter 197: Yan Qingsi Was Jinchuan’s Curse
Miss Mai got jittery even though the event was still a day away. She was obviously aware of what Yan Qingsi wanted to do and had a passing thought that there was going to be a bloodbath.
She urged Leng Ren prudently, “Xiao Leng, I’ll leave Qingsi in your hands tomorrow. You must take good care of her and bring her back safely.”
Leng Ran wondered why Miss Mai was so anxious. He nodded and said, “Alright, Miss Mai. Don’t worry. I’ll take care of her.”
“You must bring her back safe and sound.”
She placed extra emphasis on ‘safe and sound’.
Leng Ran went blank for a moment. He nodded and said, “Mm, I’ll make sure to protect her.”
…
The following evening, Leng Ran drove his car and picked Yan Qingsi up at eight o’clock.
Once she saw his car, she said to herself, ‘This kid is rich!’
Yan Qingsi did not pay much attention to Leng Ran most of the time, but when she thought about it, she realized that the shy boy was humbly polite in both words and actions. It was easy to see that his family raised him exceptionally well, and their financial background must have been quite good too.
Yan Qingsi did not have an invitation to the Luo clan’s party. She originally intended to sneak in, but since Leng Ran was with her, she could just strut in openly.
His help was timely indeed.
Leng Ran blushed when he laid eyes on Yan Qingsi. “You look so beautiful, Miss Qingsi!”
She was clad in a black halter-top evening dress that had a slit running through her thigh all the way down. When she walked, her fair legs seemed to glow under the dress.
Yan Qingsi flicked her hair back. “That’s only cause I always look beautiful.”
Leng Ran chuckled and immediately helped her open the door.
During the journey, Yan Qingsi asked Leng Ran. “Why did you choose to go into acting when your family is decently well-off?”
Leng Ran answered earnestly, “I like acting, but my parents were against it. After I graduated, my dad told me that my family wouldn’t be helping me if I chose to be an actor. He told me not to expect the Leng family’s help and influence in whatever I do. I was young and wild, so I argued with him and said that I’ll succeed even without his help.”
Yan Qingsi listened to Leng Ran’s story and felt envious. Despite his parents’ objection, they only did so out of concern. His life at home had been blessedly peaceful since he was young, and it was likely that he did not understand the true hardships of life.
“You’ll definitely succeed.”
“Thanks for the encouragement, Miss Qingsi. I’ll keep working hard.”
…
After reaching the hotel, Leng Ran kindly opened the door for Yan Qingsi and helped her down in a very gentlemanly manner.
Leng Ran was holding her arm as they walked in. Yan Qingsi then told him, “Xiao Leng. No matter what happens, just ignore it and don’t ask anything.”
Confused, he uttered, ‘Miss…”
He felt his chest tighten when he saw Yan Qingsi’s face.
They walked in and saw people drinking and having fun, with everyone dressed to the nines. The air was shockingly full of pretentiousness.
She glanced across the room, in search of her target. After locking in, she curled her lips and smiled foxily.
“Find a place to rest. When dinner is over, we’ll head out together.”
“Miss, you…”
Before he could finish, Yan Qingsi released herself from his arm and ambled away.
Leng Ran could only stare at her rear figure. He had the feeling that she was stepping into a battle zone full of fighting spirit.
Luo Jinchuan was exchanging polite banter with two of the company’s bosses, when all of a sudden, he heard an enchantingly tender voice ring beside his ear. “Dear future brother-in-law…”
Her greeting was mellow and alluring as she let her final syllable trail off. Just listening to her voice made his heart tickled.
Luo Jinchuan hand trembled along with the flute of champagne he held—that voice was nothing but a curse to him.
