<h4>Chapter 1075: Chapter 1082: Purely a Misunderstanding (2)</h4>


    "Can I go in and get it?"


    "No problem." Ling Chen responded readily, stepping aside to let Liu Xiyao quickly walk into the bathroom.


    A short whileter, Liu Xiyao came out of the bathroom, her face flushed red, clutching a bundle in her hands. She didn’t even look up as she hurried out. Once outside the door, she stopped abruptly, looked back at Ling Chen, and softly said thank you.


    As soon as Liu Xiyao left, Ling Chen let out a long breath and casually closed the door.


    Strange! Ling Chen suddenly realized, it’s sote already, why hasn’t Liu Xiyao gone to bed yet? Surely she didn’t just have a spur-of-the-moment urge to take a bath. While considering this, Ling Chen vaguely recalled those two intimate garments in the bathroom, and it seemed... it seemed like there was some liquid sticking to them, could it be... tsk tsk! It appears Nanrong Hao and the others weren’t wrong.


    Liu Xiyao is not that young anymore, and since she hasn’t found a man, naturally she might have certain needs. Ling Chen found thispletely understandable.


    After taking a bath, Ling Cheny directly on the bed and soon fell into a deep sleep.


    ...


    The next day.


    Hongyu Group, chairman’s office.


    Nanrong Wanqing sat at her desk, frowning as if lost in thought. After a while, there was a ’knock knock knock’ on the door from outside the office.


    "Come in!"


    With Nanrong Wanqing’s words, Nanrong Hao walked in from outside. Seeing it was her brother, Nanrong Wanqing got up and instructed, "Lock the door."


    Nanrong Hao obedientlyplied and, after locking the office door, came to Nanrong Wanqing’s side and asked, "Sister, did you call me here because that bastard Liu Wei is threatening you again?"


    Nanrong Wanqing sighed lightly but said nothing, her expression spoke volumes.


    "Damn it!" Nanrong Hao couldn’t help but curse, his eyes shing with a hint of malice, angrily saying, "Sister, with the way that bastard is acting, he definitely won’t stop easily, he’ll keep pushing and pushing. I’d say, just take him out to prevent him from dragging Hongyu Group down."


    Hearing Nanrong Hao’s murderous words, Nanrong Wanqing was taken aback, staring at her brother in disbelief. For a brief moment, she felt her brother became aplete stranger, not at all like the Nanrong Hao she used to know.


    The old Nanrong Hao was timid, well-behaved, and didn’t dare to speak a harsh word. Now, he even had thoughts of killing, and from his tone, it seemed like a normal matter.


    Sensing Nanrong Wanqing’s gaze, Nanrong Hao couldn’t help but ask, "Sister, what’s wrong, did I say something wrong?"


    "I’ll pretend I didn’t hear what you just said and don’t want to hear anything like that again in the future. Is that clear?" Nanrong Wanqing scolded, "No matter what, our Nanrong family must not do anything illegal or criminal."


    Nanrong Hao urgently said, "Sister, you’ve seen how that bastard Liu Wei bullies us. If we do nothing, he’ll only think we’re easy targets."


    "Enough! I will find a way to handle this."


    "Sister, it’s not that I don’t trust your abilities, but... how do you n to resolve it? Liu Wei is a rogue, and the best way to deal with a rogue is to be even more rogue. Sister, believe me, I’m better at handling this. If you really don’t want me to step in, then fine, ask Chen to help."


    Hearing Nanrong Hao mention Ling Chen, Nanrong Wanqing’s expression changed slightly. She stood up and shouted, "Enough! Don’t mention him in front of me. He has nothing to do with our Nanrong family, so why should we ask him for help?"


    "Sister, you’re being heartless," Nanrong Hao said defiantly. "I admit Chen did make some mistakes, but to be fair, he has never questioned our Nanrong family. Whether it’s you or me, Chen has saved our lives. All this time, you’ve been avoiding seeing Chen, I don’t know what you’re thinking, but in my opinion, you’re being selfish. Every time Chen sees me, he asks about you, wanting to know how you’re doing. Even when not in the Nanrong family, his concern for us hasn’t diminished."


    "You..." Nanrong Wanqing opened her mouth, trying to interrupt Nanrong Hao.


    But Nanrong Hao didn’t give her a chance to speak.


    "Sister, every man makes mistakes, and Chen didn’t do it on purpose. If you’re looking for a man who will obey your everymand and never make a mistake, I’ll tell you, that’s impossible unless you go outside and keep a young lover. Chen is excellent, and you know that better than I do. To be honest, Chen has many female friends around him. Whether it’s Liu Xiyao, Tang Shiyun, or Leng Feifei, they’re all outstanding women. If you don’t hold on to him now, and he gets attracted to someone else, you’ll regret it."


    After saying so much, Nanrong Hao took a deep breath to calm himself and said as evenly as he could, "Sister, I’m saying this because I don’t want you to regret it. Chen is a good man, and any good man will attract attention from women. So, no matter what you’re thinking, I hope you think it through and don’t let pride cost you a lifetime of happiness. That’s all I have to say, think about it. As for Liu Wei’s affair... if you can’t handle it, I’ll take care of it. Hongyu Group is the blood and sweat of the Nanrong family, and we can’t let outsiders ruin it."


    With that, not waiting for Nanrong Wanqing to say anything, Nanrong Hao directly walked out of the office.


    Watching Nanrong Hao’s figure disappear at the door, Nanrong Wanqing felt as if she had lost all her strength, copsing into her office chair, her eyes nk.


    Just now, Nanrong Hao’s words were like a heavy hammer, smashing against her heart, leaving her breathless. Indeed, because of the matters with Leng Feifei and Zhu Xiaozhu, she felt really ufortable, and without resolving this internal conflict, she didn’t know how to face Ling Chen.


    But no matter what, she couldn’t deny her feelings for Ling Chen. If the feelings were really so thin, she wouldn’t be so troubled. Every night, she tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and Ling Chen’s figure constantly appeared in her mind.


    Maybe... maybe Nanrong Hao is right; there are too many outstanding women around Ling Chen. Choosing to let go now would only give them a chance. If Ling Chen really gets involved with someone else, she would certainly regret it.


    In her chaotic thoughts, the phone on her desk suddenly rang, startling Nanrong Wanqing awake. Picking up the receiver, whatever was said on the other end of the line caused Nanrong Wanqing’s expression to change.


    "I understand. Wait, I’ming right over!" She replied, hanging up the phone, and headed straight out of the office.
