After Long Chen brought Gong Xiaotong to sit in the extended Lincoln, Lingyuxiao then looked at the situation outside through the window to confirm that Long Chen had already left, then turned and returned to Li Xi's side.
"Long Yu had sent Long Chen to find you, so it must be because of the cooperation between them. "If …" Although she didn't want to believe it, she had personally witnessed Lan Yetian cooperating with Gu Zhengkun. If Lan Yetian joined hands with Long Yu, then Lingyuxiao would be in even more danger.
Furthermore, after Li Xi heard the story of Lan Yetian from him, how could Lingyuxiao endure until a powerful gang was hidden behind his back and fought against the tyrannical people. At this time, they couldn't care less about the past. They should unite with the outside world. Was he really going to be swallowed up by that gang into the mall? But Li Xi could not say these things in front of Lingyuxiao, so no matter what, she promised Chu Meng that she wouldn't tell anyone about this, or else Lan Yetian would be in danger. In this difficult situation, she wished that Lingyuxiao would obediently listen to her advice. However, Lingyuxiao would never allow himself to interfere in matters concerning work, so he would not listen to her.
"Let's not talk about these things between us. All you have to think about is getting yourself together and getting ready to be a expectant mother. As for me, I'll take care of everything at work and wait to be a father. "Don't worry, even if it's for our children, I won't be defeated." Lingyuxiao didn't like hearing Li Xi discussing these matters with him, especially when it came to the matters of Long Family and the Gu Family. As for Lan Yetian, he was even more forbidden to talk about.
"I was worried about you." Li Xi felt that this was a bit hard to describe. Although she had never seen how decisive and ruthless that gang's BOSS could be, just hearing what Chu Meng said made her feel that this person was not someone to be trifled with. He had given most of his power to Lan Yetian to deal with the market problems in the Asia-Pacific region. This meant that Lan Yetian's power was not to be underestimated, and she was getting more and more worried for Lingyuxiao. It wasn't that she didn't have confidence in Lingyuxiao, but that this was the truth. No matter how strong he, Lingyuxiao, was, he would not be able to resist the invasion of an organization.
"I'm already satisfied after hearing your words. I feel full of energy and I'm not afraid of anyone. I am completely confident, and you also need to have confidence in me. " Lingyuxiao didn't know if it was because Li Xi was pregnant that she became more sensitive, which was why she was so nervous about small things.
Of course he knew that if he worked together with Long Yu, it would be much better than fighting alone. However, after this battle, he would have to contend against Long Yu yet again. It would be better to settle the matter once and for all. No matter how strong Lan Yetian was, he still had a way to deal with him. Even though Lan Yetian had concealed his identity well, Lingyuxiao was still not an ordinary person. He had more or less found out about Lan Yetian's background and knew that there was still an organization supporting him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so serious about this declaration of war.
Li Xi still wanted to say something, but Lingyuxiao stuck everything in his mouth with a banana.
"It's quite long before dinner. Why don't you go and rest for a while?" Lingyuxiao knew that a pregnant woman needed to rest a lot, so he was afraid that Li Xi had not slept enough.
"I've slept enough. I didn't want to lie in bed anymore, and I couldn't sleep either. Shall we go into the garden? " Li Xi stopped her thoughts of persuading Lingyuxiao and decided to do as Lingyuxiao said, peacefully waiting for his baby to be born and become a expectant mother.
"You've been sleeping so much these past few days, I thought you might be tired from not sleeping at night." Li Xi could feel that she could not sleep well at night, even though he was sleeping with Li Xi with his eyes closed.
"I don't know what happened. Anyway, I don't feel sleepy, I just want to go for a walk. I feel like I've been sleeping all day. It's very boring. " Li Xi was the kind of person who would fall asleep the moment they laid on the bed. However, after pregnant, she was very careful, afraid that she would press down the baby and be extremely careful when sleeping, which was why Lingyuxiao felt that it was like tossing and turning. In fact, she just wanted to change her posture more, so as not to affect the fetus in her womb.
"I haven't asked you about taking a walk. How could you be with those two? " Lingyuxiao finally remembered to ask about this matter. Li Xi thought that he would get distracted and forget about it later because of Gong Xiaotong. It seemed that he shouldn't have said too much.
"What can there be?" I just felt bored and went out for a walk. I just happened to meet them and we had a drink together. " Li Xi tried her best to put it in that way to dispel Lingyuxiao's suspicions.
However, Lingyuxiao's face suddenly turned ugly, causing him to feel that he was finished. Lingyuxiao hated people who were lied to the most. He lied the most, and it was so obvious. What surprised Li Xi the most was that Li Xi was not found out lying, but rather, she drank some wine when she heard Li Xi talk about it.
"Are you mistaken? You know you're pregnant, yet you still drink coffee? Do you know that coffee contains stimulants that may affect your baby? " Lingyuxiao seriously berated Li Xi, making her unable to understand what he was trying to do. Her anxious heart just a moment ago was amused by his blindly worrying about something.
"When did I ever say I drank coffee? They ordered coffee and I ordered milk. " Li Xi was so adamant about Lingyuxiao, she never thought that he would be so anxious about the baby, she was really cute.
"So it's like that. Remember, you're a pregnant woman. You can't eat anything and you can't do anything. "You must remember that." When Lingyuxiao said that he was only drinking milk, Lingyuxiao felt embarrassed himself. He should have asked him clearly before talking loudly.
"I know!" Li Xi felt helpless towards Lingyuxiao's excessive restrictions, but she also understood that he cared about her. If he did not care about her enough, she would not be like an ant on a hot pan who did not care about her image.
Li Xi and Lingyuxiao, on the other hand, came and went, it was very sweet. Then, what about the Gong Xiaotong who followed Long Chen to the Long Family to see that old fellow? Naturally, she couldn't compare to Li Xi, as her date was too serious.
Gong Xiaotong saw Long Yu under Long Chen's lead. Although along the way, Gong Xiaotong had always been facing Long Chen like a dead fish, and looked down on him, especially when she appeared to be in a state of silence when she asked Long Chen a question, Long Chen was still paying attention to him. It was not because Gong Xiaotong liked her nor was it because Long Chen paid attention to her when she knew that Gong Xiaotong was a star. He kept having the feeling that this Gong Xiaotong in front of him was giving off a familiar feeling.
Gong Xiaotong had been asked many questions along the way. She felt very frustrated, but she couldn't immediately get off. Since they had already agreed to meet Long Yu, they couldn't retreat now. She could only pretend that her ears were stuffed with cotton, trying her best to pretend that Long Chen was talking to air. She couldn't hear anything.
Endure like this, in the end, it was Long Family. Gong Xiaotong heaved a sigh of relief. But before she could fully relax, a more serious meeting had begun.
Long Yu did not expect Long Chen to bring an unfamiliar woman back. He was clearly supposed to bring Lingyuxiao to meet her. But once he saw Gong Xiaotong, he gave up on that idea. Indeed, with his keen senses, he could tell that this woman was not simple. As a result, he pretended to smile in welcome, planning to let Gong Xiaotong enjoy a luxurious gathering.
The moment Gong Xiaotong saw Long Yu, the anger buried deep in her heart evaporated like water vapor, and all of it rose to her throat. However, she advised herself to calm down as soon as possible. She did not want such a big event to occur at this critical juncture, otherwise all her previous efforts would be wasted. Therefore, in the face of that old guy Long Yu's fake smile, Gong Xiaotong did not put him in his eyes. Instead, she treated Long Yu coldly from the start, as if she owed her several million. Yes, she couldn't do it. She could always use her eyes to vent her anger.
Facing Gong Xiaotong's malicious eyes, Long Yu was of course in a bad mood. However, no silly little girl would dare to give him face in front of him. However, the shrewd and scheming Long Yu obviously did not reveal his displeasure, but only welcomed Gong Xiaotong's arrival with even more enthusiasm, and then secretly sent people to investigate Gong Xiaotong's origins.
Indeed. Long Yu would definitely not be at ease with anyone who entered his Long Family. Moreover, this unfamiliar woman in front of him seemed to be filled with hatred towards him. Since he was not a simple woman, Long Yu needed to find out her identity before he could decide whether he was an enemy or friend. If it was an enemy, then they should have prepared early for an attack. If she was a friend, he had to ally with her immediately.
Gong Xiaotong did not hold back at all when facing Long Yu's warm welcome, as if it was something Long Yu should do for him. At the dining table, Gong Xiaotong and Long Yu sat facing each other, while Long Chen sat in the middle of the long table, acting as the bridge between them.
To Gong Xiaotong, seeing her old friend whom she had not seen for a long time, she naturally had to show some sincerity. Therefore, when she received Long Yu, Gong Xiaotong finally opened her mouth and said: "For a woman she doesn't know to be so gracious, it seems that she really is a rich man."
Regarding Gong Xiaotong's words, Long Yu merely smiled, and then replied: "I wonder what a rich person is in Miss Gong's heart. However, this old one feels that it is enough to satisfy Miss. " Long Yu was not stingy with his pleasantries. No matter what, Gong Xiaotong still said some words of praise.
"If it suits Miss Gong's appetite, then eat more. This bottle of 82 year old red wine is not bad at all. Long Chen interjected from among them, wanting Gong Xiaotong to taste the red wine. It was also to test Gong Xiaotong's alcohol tolerance.
Gong Xiaotong was about to reject Long Chen, but the phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated non-stop. In order to hide things from others, Gong Xiaotong set up her phone, the amplitude of the vibrations was something that would only appear when text messages were sent. Furthermore, Gong Xiaotong always brought along two mobile phones, one for public use and one for her personal use. This phone was for personal use. Only the person behind her knew and was able to contact her number. It looked like there was some important information he wanted to tell her.
Under Long Yu and Long Chen's attentive gaze, Gong Xiaotong felt that there was no need to hide. She openly opened her phone and looked through the information inside. And it was also at this time that Long Yu secretly ordered the people who went to investigate Gong Xiaotong's background to quietly walk over to Long Yu's side and inform him of the news that they had gained nothing. This made Long Yu suspicious, and she realised that the woman sitting opposite him at the table was definitely not weak. Otherwise, he would have been able to find out everything.
Before Long Yu could interrogate him, Gong Xiaotong stood up from the table.
"I heard you were checking on me? I'm sorry, I'm not that easy for you to find out. You don't need to dream about knowing who I am. You only need to know one thing, and that is that we will work together soon. With that, Gong Xiaotong walked to Long Yu's side, raised the corner of her mouth and laughed contemptuously at, then turned and left the Long Family.
