The secretary sat frozen on her seat and she knew she was in deep soup. She knew how ruthless Leng Xuanmo can be to the people he cared about. And he would go to any length to get rid of the person who ever dared to hurt people close to him.
Lu Jingyan. That girl. She is nothing but the old grace of the country and no one even remembered her since the time her family faced the mis fortune and anyone who dated to mention her name is in hell out of a deep soup and she knows she has successfully land herself into the soup also
"Ready to explain?" Leng Xuanmo asked as he sat on the single chair in the front of the secretary as he crossed his leg lazily on the other.
The secretary knew no matter what she said she can never justify her actions. And the actions of call Lu Jingyan a pauper can never go like that since Magnus already said it that she is his wife then that does it. She is finally dead.
"Still won't talk?" He asked but she remained silent
"Deal with it. Make sure she doesn't behave rudely to the Leng's" Leng Xuanmo said then he leave the room.
Leng Yumo stood at the edge of the hallway, clad in an all-black ensemble that contrasted sharply with her delicate features. Her fitted black turtleneck hugged her slim frame, tucked neatly into high-waisted black trousers that flared just slightly at the ankles, revealing sleek combat boots that tapped softly against the marble floor. A tailored black trench coat hung open on her shoulders, swaying slightly with her every step, giving her a composed yet dangerous allure.
Her long, dark hair was loosely tied back, with a few strands brushing her cheeks. A glint of mischief sparkled in her eyes as she tilted her head slightly, the red wrapper of a candy barely peeking from between her lips. She didn't speak, only let the soft crunch of the sweet echo in the silence as she surveyed the room — cool, unreadable, and far too calm.
Despite the sugary treat, there was nothing innocent about her presence. Dressed like the storm she often kept hidden, Leng Yumo radiated an energy that was both sweet and sharp — like a blade dipped in honey.
"Do you think that does it?" She asked her brother who didn't spare her a glance as he walked pass her. Leng Yumo followed her brother as they made their way upstairs to his private room
"What do you mean?"
"She humiliated sister in law. If you should ask me I should be the one to take care of it" she said
"What are you doing here? You are supposed to be at home with them" Leng Xuanmo said
"I didn't want to miss out the fun. So I came" she said
"You are yearning for punishment" he said. Leng Yumo smiled a sweet one but the smile didn't reach her eyes.
"Brother. Do you want to punish me? You can punish me by bringing bro Tianyi" Leng Yumo said making Leng Xuanmo stop in his track
"He's married" he said
"I know. But I want to meet him. And besides since brother Ziyan can't find the culprit should you use the black verdict?" She asked
"He asked for some more time" Xuanmo said
"Brother. It's been so long since you brought sister in law into the house. And I know you didn't get the license because you don't want her to feel you lied to her. But you need to find the culprit so you can finally get married" Leng Yumo said.
