CHAPTER 199: CHAPTER 199 HIS WOMAN LIED

"You might not understand my connection with the Huo Family. Since you’re Yan Ting’s girlfriend, forget about this phone—whatever it’s worth, even if it’s millions, I wouldn’t ask you for compensation." Leng Weichen’s voice remained calm and indifferent.

Lin Banxia felt even more frustrated, frowning tightly, "But I’m not someone who likes to owe others favors. I have to compensate you so that I can feel at ease."

Leng Weichen’s refined and elegant figure stood up, "It’s nice to meet you, Miss Lin."

"Hey, don’t go yet. I... I must compensate you!" Lin Banxia saw him about to leave and immediately reached out to block his path.

Leng Weichen lowered his head, glanced at his watch, and spoke in a deep, magnetic voice, "Miss Lin, please step aside. I have a meeting to attend."

"If you don’t let me compensate you, I..."

"You really are stubborn!" Leng Weichen glanced at her again, clearly seeing her in a different light.

Lin Banxia suddenly felt embarrassed and quickly withdrew her hand.

"I told you, I don’t want to owe you a favor." Lin Banxia’s persistence came from the fact that in her previous life, he seemed to have ended up liking her.

If she didn’t owe him a favor now, the entanglements in the future might lessen, and perhaps the kind of relationship they had in her past life wouldn’t happen again.

Leng Weichen furrowed his handsome brows, thought for a moment, and then said, "I’ll send you the model and specifications of that phone. Just replace it with a new one."

"Sure..."

"But let me warn you in advance; that is a custom-made phone, and there’s only one person in the entire world who can make it. The price is over half a million." His voice was low and subtle.

"Oh... Then give me that person’s contact information so I can have them custom-make one for you..." Lin Banxia bit her lip.

Over half a million?

Custom-made phone?

The thought stung!

Leng Weichen retrieved his phone, sent her the contact details, and spoke in his subdued voice once again, "When you contact him, mention my name. He only handles VIP orders."

"Alright! Just one question—he’s from our country, right?"

"No, from M Country!"

"Ah... English-speaking? I... I gave all my English skills back to my teacher..." Lin Banxia felt so awkward she wished she could dig a hole and bury herself. She really brought this upon herself!

Leng Weichen’s handsome, composed face cracked as he heard her words, his cold demeanor finally breaking.

He let out a low chuckle.

"Forget it then. Just transfer the money to my account. Considering your relationship with Yan Ting, I’ll give you a fifty percent discount..."

Lin Banxia was speechless. Even settling a favor comes with a discount?

"Thank you so much!" Lin Banxia didn’t dare insist further; she felt like she had embarrassed herself enough already.

Leng Weichen’s gaze lightly swept over her awkward little face before he strode out of the café.

Lin Banxia mimed slapping her own face twice. She had embarrassed herself so thoroughly she felt like she’d shamed her entire family.

She sat back down in the café and ordered a drink.

Halfway through the beverage, her phone rang.

It was Huo Yanting!

"Hello, darling..."

"You have two minutes to come to my office," the man’s deep voice carried a hint of anger.

Lin Banxia was startled and hurriedly settled her bill before bolting towards the elevator.

What was going on now? Why did Huo Yanting sound angry?

Could it be because she sneaked out for a drink during work hours?

Whatever the reason, Lin Banxia arrived at his office panting.

Knocking on the door, and upon being granted entry, she stepped inside. The man seated at the desk wore a visibly dark and unpleasant expression.

Lin Banxia didn’t dare take a big breath, cautiously walking to his side to stand.

Timidly, she asked, "Darling, is something wrong?"
