My Toxic Ex-Wife: BOSS, Stay Away!-Chapter 96 - 95: Get Married by the End of This Year
Chapter 96: Chapter 95: Get Married by the End of This Year
After Leng Yixiu got off work, the two went to his apartment. The apartment was located in the most bustling part of the inner city, near where Leng Yixiu worked. He had been living there for the past few years.
The apartment was over two hundred square meters and came with a servant who attended to Leng Yixiu’s daily needs. The servant was quite good at cooking and cleaning, so Leng Yixiu never replaced them.
At the dining table, Cheng Ying appeared somewhat distracted. She raised her eyes to look at the man opposite her, only to see him elegantly and attractively cutting his steak into pieces with a knife and fork.
Cheng Ying hesitated for a moment and finally decided to speak up, "My mom asked me to ask you, when are you available?"
"Is something the matter?"
"My mom said, we have been dating for so long; why not hold the wedding at the end of this year?"
The man’s actions paused slightly. He put down his knife and fork and gracefully wiped his mouth, "Recently, the company has had a lot of matters to deal with. I’m afraid the wedding will have to wait for a while."
Cheng Ying’s face turned unnaturally stiff. Wait? She had been waiting for him for all these years; wasn’t that enough?
However, even though she felt uncomfortable, she didn’t show it. Her face quickly returned to a charming smile. Men—they all like freedom and not being constrained.
Any man is not very enthusiastic about marriage, and Leng Yixiu was no exception. He wasn’t in a hurry, so she would make him hurry. If she got pregnant with his child, the matter would naturally be settled.
However, how to get pregnant was indeed a problem. Over the years, Leng Yixiu rarely stayed over at her place, and his visits were few and far between.
Initially, she thought Leng Yixiu had another woman outside, but after investigating, she found out he didn’t.
Until one time, she cried out to him, feeling wronged, and asked if he didn’t love her anymore. He told her that his avoidance wasn’t because he didn’t care about her, but because he didn’t want the past situation to happen again.
Thinking of the past, Cheng Ying abruptly held back. She took several deep breaths and finally managed to recover from the suffocation.
After dinner, the two were bored. Cheng Ying’s eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance as she suggested to Leng Yixiu, "It’s still early; why not watch a movie with me?"
The man’s brows slightly furrowed. He had always been indifferent to movies, yet he didn’t object; as long as Cheng Ying’s requests weren’t excessive, he would agree.
The screen in the audio-visual room was large, comparable to a small cinema.
The movie was a popular art film that had recently been taken down from theaters. The background of the film was set during the wartime era, although it’s a historical topic, the main storyline revolved around the theme of love. Where there is love, naturally there would be some ambiguous scenes. And they happened to watch the unedited version.
She turned her eyes to the man beside her, only to see his face unchanged, as if the scenes before him had no effect.
Unwilling, Cheng Ying’s body proactively leaned into the man, her slender arms entwining around his neck like a water snake.
"Yixiu..."
Under the faint light of the screen, her eyes were filled with passion, her breath was fresh, and her voice was so soft and charming that it almost dripped with honey.
Seeing the man still unfazed and indifferent, Cheng Ying gritted her teeth and planted her warm, soft lips on his.
Though Leng Yixiu was cold-hearted, he was not Liu Xia Hui, and how could he not be moved by such advances. Instantly, he transformed passiveness into aggression, fiercely kissing the woman in his arms.
