CHAPTER 342: AFTER THE REVISION: CHAPTER 346 RIVALS MEET

Lin Yixun suddenly realized that even attending a large gathering with Leng Yixiu and having her unbearable identity exposed to everyone would be a thousand, ten thousand times better than now.

At this moment, all she wanted was to escape, to leave here as quickly as possible.

However, at that very moment, a strong arm tightly held her shoulder, and she fell into a cold embrace, with Leng Yixiu’s gentle voice sounding above her head.

"Where did you go just now? You were gone for so long?"

Trembling, Lin Yixun turned her head and saw Leng Yixiu staring at her unblinkingly, his handsome face wearing a gentle smile, but she knew well that it was all a facade.

His gaze was icy cold, and the strength with which he held her was astonishing. She even had the illusion that his fingers were made of steel because they were so powerful.

The pain in her shoulder made her understand that Leng Yixiu was definitely angry. But why was he angry? Because she had stayed outside too long? Or because she had lost her composure upon seeing Ouyang Hao?

Regardless, no matter how poorly Leng Yixiu treated her, since he wanted to pretend to be loving in front of others, she had to accompany him in this act.

Lin Yixun lowered her eyes, trying to hide all her emotions and said softly, "I just went for a walk in the back garden. Mrs. Fei’s back garden is so beautiful, so I stayed a bit longer."

"Is it very beautiful?" The man raised an eyebrow, his lips curving into an alluring smile, "How about we plant some flowers on the hillside behind the Half Mountain Villa in the future?"

Lin Yixun only took his words as pleasantries and didn’t take them to heart. She nodded absentmindedly, but her peripheral vision inevitably drifted to Ouyang Hao’s direction. She saw him whispering something into Li Yun’er’s ear, seemingly in a very good mood.

"Oh, I almost forgot to introduce another guest. This is President Leng of the Leng Group, Yixun’s boyfriend." In Mu Yi’s eyes, being invited by her husband to such a gathering meant that Lin Yixun was undoubtedly Leng Yixiu’s girlfriend.

"Boyfriend, huh?" Just then, Li Yun’er interjected. She glanced at Leng Yixiu and then shifted her gaze to Lin Yixun’s face, curling her lips in a mocking smile but didn’t reveal that Leng Yixiu had a fiancée.

Li Yun’er was naturally aware of Lin Yixun and Ouyang Hao’s past, and she also knew about Lin Yixun’s history with Leng Yixiu. Although she didn’t know exactly what happened between Lin Yixun and Ouyang Hao, seeing Lin Yixun back with Leng Yixiu allowed Li Yun’er to guess most of the story.

It was nothing more than Lin Yixun still having unresolved feelings for this President Leng.

In her eyes, Lin Yixun was both pitiful and hateful, even somewhat pathetic.

To love someone without any principles, to the point of losing self-respect, such a woman was utterly looked down upon by Li Yun’er.

Compared to Li Yun’er’s disdain, Ouyang Hao’s attitude was much more enthusiastic. He smiled and extended his hand towards Leng Yixiu, "President Leng, how have you been?"

Leng Yixiu returned the smile and extended his hand, "Second Young Master, you’ve recovered well."

"Yes, indeed. With a good mood, naturally, recovery is faster." Ouyang Hao firmly shook Leng Yixiu’s hand.

"With a beautiful woman by your side, your mood is naturally excellent," Leng Yixiu said, also gripping his hand tightly in return.
