CH 7

With a face as white as a sheet, her fingers moved on the dial pad. She typed a familiar phone number that she couldn’t be more familiar with, and called it without any hesitation.

In her previous life, the news of Leng Minhang’s recovery after the two families had the marriage entered her ears. The old lady from the Leng family assumed that she was the one reason behind it, so the way she treated her was very kind.

It was a pity that she played tricks and caused this kindness to be ruined.

A sigh escaped from her lips. She discovered these things too late, and now, she had no idea about Leng Minhang’s condition.

Although the two of them would inevitably meet each other in half a month, the disorganized thoughts inside her heart caused her to be unable to wait any longer.

A beeping sound came from the phone, and after ringing for a while, a man’s deep voice came through.

This was his private phone number, and the people who knew it were normally his family members. So he didn’t even bother to check the name of the caller and just answered it directly, otherwise he would have hung up when seeing the unfamiliar number.

That man’s voice she wished to hear day and night floated in her ears.

Luo Xi’s body shook with eagerness, with tears pouring down on her face.

Not receiving any reply, the man on the other side of the phone became a little impatient.

Scared that he would end the call, Luo Xu quickly composed herself and opened her mouth, “Hus—Mr. Leng, It’s Luo Xi.”

When she almost blurted out the word husband, Luo Xi was so startled that she quickly changed her word.

She couldn’t allow him to have any suspicions. After all, the present Leng Minhang doesn’t know her at all.

As she thought of the relationship that was finally established after much work was ruined just like that, Luo Xi’s heart was pulled hard.

“Luo Xi?” The other party’s tone was stained with a hint of surprise, but he soon restored to his former coldness, “What’s wrong?”

When they were young, the two had seen each other, but that was when the Luo family was still flourishing and was not declining like as of now. The older generation of the two families had a great relationship, and she was often taken by her grandfather when visiting the Leng family.

The problem is, she was just a child at that time, and the memory left in her mind now is unclear. In her previous life, she was ignorant of Leng Minhang’s appearance until they got married.

After her grandfather’s death, the two families gradually lost contact with each other.

Luo Xi became a little awkward and said with a soft voice, “It’s just that, I, I just wanted to ask about your health.”

On the highest floor of a certain building, a tall man clad in a black suit stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his deep eyes were looking down at the scenery below. Upon hearing what she said, his hand that was shaking the wine glass paused slightly, and his mouth curled up, forming a cold smile. “Do you think you don’t need to marry me if my health became good?”

“No ” Luo Xi was misunderstood. She called him because she was concerned about him, but she couldn’t say it now because they don’t know each other in this life, lest he became suspicious.

Her teeth pressed against her lip. She started to regret her action of calling him impulsively. What if he asked her where she got the phone number from?

The more her mind thought in that direction, the more she became annoyed with herself. Luo Xi didn’t get any answer from the man on the other side of the phone, and replied in panic, “I’ll hang up now!”

Listening to the beeping sound on the phone, the stern man faintly lifted his eyebrows, and a look of interest flashed in his eyes.

The scene of her being forced to go home to coax Luo Yuyi out of the room didn’t happen in this life. Instead, it was Luo Yuyi who took the initiative to visit her to the hospital room with an ugly face.

Just by seeing her expression, her father must have taught her a lesson.

Otherwise, according to her character, how could she take the initiative to bow down her head?

A hint of sarcasm flashed across Luo Xi’s eyes.

Both of them only turned twenty this year, and they were still young and studying, carrying an immature air around their faces.

And Luo Yuyi resembled a well-behaved girl.

She knows how to say good words and has a sweet-looking face, so everyone likes her very much.
