Chapter 2092  : Son or Daughter? (3)

As soon as Ye Xiaolian finished speaking, Leng Xinran swept an indifferent gaze over. Ye Xiaolian’s face turned even more ashen.

“I’m also thinking for the company. We can’t ignore the company’s reputation, right? Besides, I’ve already promised them! Mingyi, do you want me to explain this to them?”

Ye Xiaolian reached out and nudged Leng Mingyi.

Leng Xinran’s lips curled into a cold smile.

“Enough. Before the collaboration with Leia, I already said that we’ll put it on hold for now and discuss it later. I’ve never promised that we’ll really cooperate. If Leia is capable, we don’t have to worry about discussing it again. This is also a responsibility to the company. How you’ve agreed to them is your own business.”

Leng Mingyi was very wise when it came to work. He strongly agreed with Leng Xinran’s decision.

“Mingyi!” Ye Xiaolian called out, her voice full of dissatisfaction.

“Alright, Ran Ran, we’ll do as you say. I’m very relieved that you’re in charge of the company.”

Leng Mingyi had completely handed this matter over to Leng Xinran. He was also very confident in Leng Xinran’s control over the company. Moreover, now that Ye Xiaolian’s influence in the company was being suppressed, Leng Mingyi turned a blind eye to it, in any case, the Leng Group could only be handed over to Leng Xinran.

“Mingyi, look at her attitude. I’ve been bullied by her everywhere in this family to such an extent. How can you still protect her like this!”

Ye Xiaolian’s heart was also filled with dissatisfaction.

“That’s all because you asked for it. What doesn’t belong to you can’t be defended no matter what. Do you still think you have much ability?” Leng Xinran replied impolitely.

“Ming Yi, look at her attitude!”

Leng Xinran ignored Ye Xiaolian’s complaints. She took the documents on the table and said, “Since you have no objections, I’ll plan it next Monday. I’ll go back to the company first.”

“It’s not too late to stay for dinner,” said Leng Mingyi.

“No need.”

Leng Xinran glanced at Ye Xiaolian, turned around, and left.

Leng Mingyi was at a loss for words. He wanted to call out to her, but when the words reached his mouth, he could not. Moreover, it seemed that the father and daughter had always been like this.

Initially, he wanted to ask about her and Lan Xiu, but now it seemed that there was no need to ask. Even if he did, she might not say anything.

Seeing Leng Xinran’s figure disappear at the door, Leng Mingyi retracted his gaze and fell silent. Beside him, Ye Xiaolian looked at him with some grievance. Leng Mingyi pretended not to see her and slowly closed his eyes to rest.

Ye Xiaolian was also a person who knew Leng Mingyi’s bottom line. Now that she knew that Leng Mingyi was already angry, she did not dare to say anything more. She could only express her dissatisfaction with a pitiful expression.

“She’s the only child of the Leng family. No matter what, she’s still my daughter. I won’t hold it against you for what you’ve done before, but you’d better know your limits. Don’t be arrogant because you’re spoiled. Your trump card is also there. Don’t make things worse.”

Leng Mingyi naturally knew the dissatisfaction in Ye Xiaolian’s heart at this moment.

Leng Mingyi had never fallen in love with any woman. As long as the woman did not violate his bottom line and was obedient, he would not make things difficult for her. Of course, he felt that he did not need anyone to love him, so when Mo Shaolan had placed her feelings for him, it was destined to be a tragedy.

Leng Mingyi was a truly cold and uncaring person.

He was wondering if this daughter, Leng Xinran, had most likely inherited his temperament. Since young, he had treated this daughter with some special treatment. But to be honest, he, Leng Mingyi, was very satisfied with this daughter and let her become the successor of the Leng family, it was also something that he had thought of from the start. Even if he had a son with Ye Xiaolian, he, Leng Mingyi, had never thought of changing Leng Xinran’s identity.

When he divorced Mo Shaolan, he had fought hard for Leng Xinran’s custody. It was also for this reason. However, Leng Xinran’s personality was still too cold, she was so cold that even he, her father, could be treated as a stranger. If it were not for the blood ties that made it impossible for her to shirk her responsibilities, Leng Mingyi believed that Leng Xinran would never look at him again.

Leng Xinran was the only child he had wanted to get close to all these years. However, he did not know how he could change this relationship. Thus, this was the same situation between the father and daughter.

Now, his health was getting worse. Although the hospital said that his condition was still good and he was still looking for a kidney, the situation was still optimistic. However, Leng Mingyi was a pessimistic person. He felt that he might not be able to survive this, he did not know if this thought would become his last wish.

...

It was said that July was a hot month, but the weather was getting hotter and hotter. The scorching sun was roasting the entire land. The airless air had a faint air that made people anxious.

This kind of weather was very torturous for Dongfang Liuyun.

Because she was pregnant with twins, it has been much harder on her than the average person during this period. Now that the child was almost eight or nine months old, her belly was unusually big, especially in the next few months, her stomach was as large as a balloon.

She was no longer working, and Qi Lei did not let her do anything. He watched her closely every day, caring for her meticulously. He was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable because it was said that pregnant women were in a critical period at this time, Dongfang Liuyun would occasionally suffer from leg cramps at night. He listened to the doctor’s advice and did what he needed to do. After that, when he did not see any improvement in her condition, it made Qi Lei anxious.

He might have looked like a playboy before, but now he was simply uncomplaining. No matter what Dongfang Liuyun said about him, he was not angry. He just acted as if he did not see or hear what she said.

However, no matter how carefully he took care of her, Dongfang Liuyun still had a fever.

The weather was unpredictable, and Dongfang Liuyun could not guard against it. She had a fever for a few days, but she could not easily take injections or medicine. She could only reduce the temperature physically, which made Qi Lei anxious. He did not even go to the company these few days and stayed at home to accompany Dongfang Liuyun, only when her fever subsided and she recovered did he heave a sigh of relief.

“This pregnancy is pretty good at torturing people. Luckily, it’ll only be this one pregnancy.”

In the Grand Lake villa area, Qi Lei looked at Dongfang Liuyun who was lying on the sofa. There was a hint of heartache in his dark eyes, but he was also helpless. He reached out and gently tapped Dongfang Liuyun’s protruding lower abdomen.
