Leng Ziyue only talked about his own matters when speaking to Leng Rui, and he even ordered the maid to prepare breakfast for him. He wasn’t the least surprised when he saw a woman in pajamas seated at the dining table.

His father simply liked to bring women home, but in less than three days, these women would disappear from the villa.

From what he could recall, the longest anyone stayed was half a month, right?

“What brings you home today?” Leng Rui’s voice made Leng Ziyue sit upright and become a bit more serious. He was still a little afraid of Leng Rui. After Leng Rui had adopted him, Leng Rui put himself through a vasectomy. Leng Ziyue thought it was scary that someone would be so cruel to himself like that.

Plus, Leng Rui often brought women back to the villa, which led Leng Ziyue to believe that his father had gotten the operation because of his own philandering ways. That way, he could deprive those women of the chance to get pregnant with his child.

Last but not least, Leng Rui had a cruel way of handling things, so deep down in his heart, Leng Ziyue felt that Leng Rui was just a cold, heartless person.

Leng Rui had probably adopted him because he wanted an heir, right?

“Dad, I…”

Leng Rui looked up, then asked, “Back to ask for money? How much?”

Leng Ziyue tightly clenched his fists and directed his gaze at the woman not far away, who seemed to be looking at a contract. He was thinking to himself that this woman definitely wanted something, which was why she had appeared in this villa.

The woman was still in her pajamas. It didn’t take much imagination to figure out that an extremely wild, crazy scene had taken place inside the villa last night.

Leng Ziyue felt somewhat relieved. Luckily, he hadn’t come home the night before.

Just as Leng Ziyue opened his mouth to tell Leng Rui the amount of money he wanted, the woman suddenly spoke up, the sound of her voice causing him to freeze for a moment: “There’s no problem with the contract. I’ll sign it.”

When Tang Guo raised her head, Leng Ziyue instantly leaped to his feet, the question “Guo, why are you here?” at the tip of his tongue. But then he felt Leng Rui’s sharp gaze, and his voice felt stuck in his throat.

He could only silently stare at Tang Guo and slowly sit down.

Tang Guo merely cast him a fleeting glance, then signed her name on the contract.

Leng Ziyue looked at Tang Guo for a long time, until Leng Rui’s gaze fell on him again. Then, he hastily shifted his eyes elsewhere, completely forgetting his purpose in returning home.

His mind was filled with thoughts about why Guo had ended up at the villa.

Why was Guo inside the villa, and why was she still in her pajamas? Had Guo become his father’s woman?

Had he hurt her so deeply that he shattered her heart… causing her to give up on herself and find some random guy?

He wanted to ask Tang Guo all this, but unfortunately, Guo was now his father’s woman. If he dared to ask a question like this, both he and Guo would be goners.

The look in Leng Ziyue’s eyes showed how anxious he was, but Leng Rui didn’t have any patience for this. “Aren’t you back to ask for money?” he asked.

“Yes, I’m back to ask for money.”

Leng Ziyue’s mind was still a bit on the fritz, so when he heard Leng Rui’s question, he didn’t think twice about blurting out such a direct reply.

He regretted answering his father. It would have been fine if it had been any other woman, but this woman was Tang Guo, his ex-girlfriend.

He had only ever thought of Tang Guo as a stand-in for Lu Qi because, deep down in his heart, he didn’t want to do anything to let Lu Qi down. So, the two of them had simply been friends.

Even though they were a couple without any intimate physical contact, they had still been a couple, after all.

So why did Tang Guo become his father’s woman?

“How much?”

Leng Rui’s voice once again pulled Leng Ziyue back to reality. He flashed a longing look at Tang Guo, then clenched his teeth and said, “Twenty million.”

He thought that Leng Rui would go on saying more, and that Tang Guo would give him a questioning look. But on the contrary, Tang Guo simply ate her breakfast slowly.

As for Leng Rui, he took out a check, very quickly filled in the amount, endorsed it with his signature, and casually threw it in front of Leng Ziyue. There was no hesitation at all. Everything he did was clean-cut and decisive, and he looked dashing and handsome.

“Next time, if you want money, be more direct. Don’t be so wishy-washy and beat around the bush.”
