After Leng Junhao and Yao Nan left, the atmosphere in the living room became awkward. Cui Xinyan wanted to say something in front of Leng Yan, but Mu Xue had already stood up. She looked at Leng Yan and whispered, "Come with me." " She brought Leng Yan straight to her bedroom. It was only after Leng Yan entered the room that he realized he had entered Mu Xue's bedroom. His beautiful peach blossom eyes twitched unconsciously: "Am I supposed to be moving into the Xianggui (Fragrant Boudoir)?" " "Mm." Mu Xue replied softly. Mu Xue walked to her dressing table, took out a box from the very back of the drawer, and then walked over to Leng Yan. She opened the box in front of Leng Yan, and inside was a pair of vintage couple rings. She took out the man's ring, then grabbed Leng Yan's hand and deftly slipped the ring onto his ring finger: "This was left to me by my mother. She said it was a gift she gave me and my future husband." " She paused, then looked up at Leng Yan and said domineeringly, "Once you're wearing my ring, you're mine." " Leng Yan: ... ... "President Leng?" Zhuo Ming stood in front of Leng Yan, calling out cautiously. He had just reported today's itinerary to Leng Yan, but Leng Yan showed no reaction at all. He wasn't sure if he had listened. Zhuo Ming looked at Leng Yan like this, feeling uneasy. Was he dissatisfied with his arrangement? Although this gentleman seemed easy to serve, only he knew how terrifying he was when he got angry. Just as Zhuo Ming struggled to make another sound, Leng Yan suddenly raised his left hand, waved it in front of Zhuo Ming, and asked with a smile, "Does it look good?" " When Zhuo Ming saw the ring on Leng Yanwu's ring finger, he stumbled and nearly fell on the spot: "Leng... President Leng, you... You're married? " Fortunately, Zhuo Ming, who always prided himself on being mature and steady, was now shocked by Leng Yan's outrageous move. Leng Yan chuckled lightly: "No, but it's almost time." " It took Zhuo Ming a minute to process what his CEO had just mentioned. "President Leng, may I ask so boldly, who are you marrying?" Leng Yan sneered, "You've probably heard of that person. She's Mu Xue, the president of the Mu Corporation." " "What?" Zhuo Ming felt he might be hallucinating. It is said that Mu Xue, the president of Mu Corporation, is exceptionally capable, skipping grades from elementary through middle school. She graduated from university at eighteen and took over the company, using her delicate body to support the vast Mu Group. Mu Xue was not only talented but also stunning in appearance. Her only flaw was her coldness—cold as ice. Over the years, many people had tried to target her, but all failed because she was a stone that couldn't be warmed—cold and ruthless... How could someone like that be willing to marry President Leng? After all, President Leng's reputation outside the world isn't great, and her standards for choosing a partner should be very strict, right? "President Leng, are you sure?" Are you sure the person you're marrying is really President Mu? "Zhuo Ming felt this was even more shocking than Leng Yan telling him he saw Halley's Comet collide with Earth last night." Leng Yan rolled his eyes at him: "Nonsense, this ring was put on me by her own hands. She even said that wearing her ring means she belonged to her." " Zhuo Ming was so shocked he almost lost his composure again: "Are you sure?" Is it really that imposing? " Leng Yan nodded, "Yeah, I feel like I've been violated." " His expression looked aggrieved, but Zhuo Ming, who understood him, saw a hint of smugness in his eyes. Zhuo Ming couldn't bear to watch and didn't want to stay here for even a moment. Before leaving, he reminded him, "President Leng, don't forget what I just said—at six in the afternoon, have dinner with President Lu at the Imperial City Hotel." " "No." Leng Yan replied without hesitation. "This... Everything was scheduled. " "If you want to go, go ahead. I'm very busy and don't have time to see him." "What are you busy with?" Zhuo Ming asked casually, but only regretted it out loud. After all, the boss's affairs weren't his business. Just when he thought Leng Yan was about to scold him, Leng Yan spat out three words: "Fall in love." " Zhuo Ming was petrified on the spot. ... "Xiao Liang, all plans after 6 PM today are canceled." After hearing the assistant's report, Mu Xue instructed calmly. "... this," Xiao Liang said, looking troubled. "What's wrong?" Is there a problem? " "No." Xiao Liang swallowed the words he wanted to say. The boss's orders had to be obeyed—what could he possibly have a problem with? "Go out and get to work." Mu Xue waved her hand, signaling Xiao Liang to leave. After Xiao Liang left, Mu Xue finally raised her hand. She stared at the ring on her ring finger, lost for a moment. She hadn't expected to hand over the ring so quickly. Thinking of the wonderful expression on Leng Yan's face after she put the ring on him yesterday, she couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile. At that moment, the internal phone rang: "President Mu, Mr. Zhuang is here. He says he wants to see you." " "No, I don't." Mu Xue answered without hesitation. After hanging up, Mu Xue's expression instantly turned cold. Zhuang Yao, haha... The one who had caused her death once was now still daring to show up. How wonderful—the debts from a past life should be repaid in this one. Mu Xue took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. Although she really wanted Zhuang Yao dead, she knew that for now, there was nothing she could do. She picked up the landline and called Xiao Liang: "Xiao Liang, find me a reliable private detective. If you find someone, have them come see me directly." " ... At 5:40 p.m., just as Mu Xue stepped out of the company gate, she immediately saw Leng Yan leaning against a Rolls-Royce. Her eyebrows raised slightly; she had been planning to visit him today, but he actually came. Could this count as a kind of tacit understanding? Leng Yan saw Mu Xue and waved at her, and Mu Xue walked straight toward him. As Mu Xue approached, Leng Yan opened the passenger door. Mu Xue got straight into the car without asking where Leng Yan was taking her. Leng Yan raised an eyebrow: "Aren't you going to ask me where I'm taking you?" " Only then did Mu Xue look at him: "Where are you taking me?" " Leng Yan chuckled, "You woman is really boring." " Mu Xue nodded, "Yes, I know." " Leng Yan: ... He drove straight to the city center. The city center of City A is especially bustling, and it's rush hour, with many famous restaurants packed to capacity. Leng Yan parked the car at Huangtu Restaurant, a famous upscale restaurant in City A, and of course, it was also his business. After getting out of the car, Leng Yan directly took Mu Xue's hand and headed straight for the imperial map. When he held her hand, she was momentarily stunned, instinctively wanting to struggle. Fortunately, she quickly realized they were now engaged, so she let him lead her around. At first, she felt a bit uncomfortable, but gradually she adapted. She hadn't expected that after her rebirth, her bad habit of not being able to stand being touched would actually improve a lot. Huangtu does not have a main hall; it only has private rooms, and each room is designed with a different style. When guests book a private room, they choose according to their preferred style. Mu Xue naturally knew about Huangtu. In the past, Zhuang Yao had booked a table a month in advance to please her, bringing her here. She remembered that the private room he booked was decorated in Chinese style. He probably thought that with her personality, she would like grand Chinese styles. In fact, what she liked was a simple pastoral style, though she hadn't told him at the time. Mu Xue thought someone with Leng Yan's temperament would like luxurious European styles, but when Leng Yan led her into the private room, she was stunned, because his private room was actually pastoral-style. "I didn't expect you to like this style." Mu Xue couldn't help but voice her thoughts.
