C252 How Long Do I Have to Pretend?

At the dining table, Hai Xiaomin was eating absent-mindedly. A potato was on the plate and she couldn't pick it up no matter how hard she tried. It kept slipping away from her chopsticks.

At this moment, another pair of chopsticks came in and steadily picked up the potato and handed it to Hai Xiaomin's mouth.

Hai Xiaomin came back to her senses and smiled. She opened her mouth and bit off the potato from Ling Yao's chopsticks.

"Are you still thinking about what Laecia said today?" Ling Yao casually picked up the tissue on the table and helped Hai Xiaomin wipe the sauce at the corner of her mouth. "Like I said before, my engagement with her was just a verbal promise from back then. No one cared about the jokes between parents. The Lance family was making a big deal out of nothing for the sake of benefits. This kind of person was doing it for benefits. You don't even need your face!"

"Pffft," Hai Xiaomin laughed. Ling Yao actually had the nerve to seriously ridicule other people's shamelessness. Wasn't he the most typical example?

Suddenly, she thought of Ling Yao's background and situation. What kind of unique environment did he grow up in to be able to grow to his current state step by step?

Hai Xiaomin picked up a rib for Ling Yao and said in a clear voice, "But you didn't tell me about our marriage. You didn't tell your grandfather."

Other relatives and friends could wait until the wedding to send out invitations to inform them of the marriage. But a marriage was such a big matter, how could they not discuss it with their loved ones?

Ling Yao's hand holding the chopsticks paused slightly. He said lightly, "When he knows, he will naturally know."

He only told him and did not have any intention to discuss with his grandfather. Furthermore, it was such a far-fetched response. Hai Xiaomin did not know about the relationship between Ling Yao and her grandfather. However, the other party was his only blood relative in this world. Furthermore, he was afraid that he would not be young anymore. What kind of grudge was worth him not even taking the chance to spend the last few years with his family?

"Ling Yao..." Hai Xiaomin called him and wanted to persuade him.

"Let's eat. Don't worry about other things. I will arrange it." Ling Yao picked up a piece of rib and covered her mouth.

... "Oh."

Ling Yao did not want to mention it. What else could she do?

After dinner, Ling Yao went downstairs again. Hai Xiaomin stayed in the room for a long time. She thought of Laecia who suddenly came out and felt annoyed. She went downstairs and took the elevator to the 39th floor. She did not expect the elevator door to open on the 38th floor.

A blonde foreign beauty with blue eyes was standing outside the door.

"Hai, what a coincidence." Laecia greeted Hai Xiaomin with a bright smile.

Yes, what a coincidence. It was the third time they met in a day and Hai Xiaomin did not know what to say. She smiled and was about to greet when her eyes landed on the suitcase that Laecia was pulling behind her and asked curiously: "Miss Laecia, what is this?"

Laecia lowered her head to look at the suitcase and said with an embarrassed smile. "Oh, I have been visiting the headquarters of the company for a day. I haven't had the time to find a place to stay yet. I wonder if Miss Hai can help me find a hotel nearby? If you find it troublesome, you can lend me some money first... "

Hai Xiaomin was stunned. She remembered that when she met Laecia on the street in the morning, she just got off the plane and dragged her suitcase over. She also lost her wallet. "If Miss Laecia doesn't mind, come and stay at our place for the night first."

Laecia was flattered, "This is not appropriate. Will it be crowded with you?"

Hai Xiaomin could not help but laugh. Miss Laecia who spoke like this was really cute. She was actually worried that it would be crowded to their place. The 39th floor was a few thousand square meters and there were more than ten guest rooms.

When Ling Yao came up to eat, he found out that Hai Xiaomin had taken the initiative to arrange people into the guest room. He pulled her to the side with a gloomy and handsome face and chewed on her ears.

"I say, do you have any sense of danger as Mrs Ling? You clearly know the identity of this woman, yet you still bring her into the house?" Ling Yao's handsome face darkened, and he said coldly.

Hai Xiaomin was helpless and raised a finger to fight for it. "Just one night! I think Laecia is also quite a good person. I will help her find a place to stay outside tomorrow."

He thought she wanted to be a good person. No matter how Laecia expressed her interest in Ling Yao and did not care about the fact that they were already married, but knowing that the other side was the wife chosen by the two large consortiums for Ling Yao and was also the granddaughter-in-law approved by Ling Yao's grandfather, Hai Xiaomin's heart could not be completely at peace.

To Hai Xiaomin, the other party was a time bomb. The symbol of Laecia signified the identity of a powerful competitor!

But the goodwill that the other party repeatedly expressed, she could not completely ignore it.

She did not want to really become a chicken belly Mrs Ling!

"I think you will only learn your lesson if you suffer a loss!" Ling Yao gritted his teeth, but his tone was filled with the love of a drowning person. He could not resist Hai Xiaomin's innocent expression.

"What do you think I should do with you..." He lowered his head and lightly touched her lips. The two of them were intimate for a while.2

"Mr. Nazhi! Miss Hai! Are you still there? The food is almost cold! " Only after hearing Laecia's shout did the two of them stop in time. Otherwise, they probably wouldn't be able to eat dinner.

The sudden appearance of Laecia disrupted Hai Xiaomin's plan to go out for a walk.

After dinner, Ling Yao stayed in the study room. Someone knocked on the door. Laecia poked her head into the room and then half of her body. "Mr. Nazhi, you are looking for me?"

"Come in." Ling Yao stood in front of the desk and looked down at something on the table. He greeted her without looking back.

He was tall and did not have a coat in the room. He wore a white shirt and the hem of his shirt was tucked into his pants. He looked simple and experienced. His pants were straight and his long legs were wrapped. However, with a rough look, one could tell that this man had a good figure!

As for his face...

Laecia took light steps and slowly walked towards him. She stared at Ling Yao's side face. To be honest, if he was not so picky about the aesthetic standards of the European and American people, his face would not have any flaws.

There were no flaws. Then it would be perfect?

Laecia could not believe it. She thought that she must find something unpleasant on this man's face. At this moment, the other party suddenly spoke. "How close do you want to be?"

Laecia suddenly came back to her senses and stopped walking. She was still five steps away from Ling Yao.

How much did this man dislike her?

She bit her lower lip in discomfort. "At this time, why are you looking for me?"

She was most likely not off work. She did not have time to pack her things and was called over before she even had time to take a shower. She seriously suspected that the other party had deliberately chosen this time.

"How long are you going to pretend for?" Ling Yao suddenly raised his head, his deep black eyes clearly showing a trace of impatience.

Laecia's expression froze, then she smiled and said, "What pretense? I don't understand what you mean."

"You lost your phone and wallet." Ling Yao casually threw two things on the table in front of Laecia.
