Contract Wife: CEO, Please Be Gentle

Actually, he didn't know either.

Ling Xiaosu's eyes were almost red as she asked, "When we were in B City, you told me everything. You said that we would each take what we needed and I will follow what you said. What are we doing now?"

Yeah, what is it? What was their relationship?

"Isn't this kind of relationship between us, an unmarried couple?"

"Heh." Ling Xiaosu pursed her lips into a mocking smile as she forcibly pulled back the tears that were on the verge of flowing out of her eyes, "What unmarried couple? Are you going to say that you're doing what you need to do? "

The Clairvoyant opened his mouth, but no sound came out. He seemed to agree with Ling Xiaosu's words.

Ling Xiaosu could not help but feel upset as he looked at how the heaven defying official was tacitly admitting to his silence.

Yes, what the heaven defying official said was right. They were originally on their own terms, and this was absolutely true.

Ling Xiaosu blinked. She was holding her coat in her hand and said coldly, "I'm leaving first."

And then, he rushed out of the mansion without waiting for a chance to speak again.

After hailing a taxi, Ling Xiaosu hurried back to her house and paid the driver. Just as she got off the car, she saw Ling An, who was standing at the entrance, looking around uneasily.

Ling Xiaosu was puzzled. At this hour, the restaurant should still be open. Why did Ling An come back so early?

The teahouse run by his family was initially closed at eight o'clock and at the latest at ten o'clock. But now, it was not even eight o'clock and the teahouse was already closed at half past seven?

Did something happen?

Ling Xiaosu stepped forward and was about to call Ling Xiaosu, but Ling An seemed to have a hunch that he would see Ling Xiaosu before he spoke.

Ling An hastily ran forward. With a frown on his face, he asked, "Is there anyone strange that came to find you today?"

A strange person? Ling Xiaosu shook her head and replied with a puzzled expression, "No, no one came looking for me today."

Except for the strange, heaven-defying vassal who came to her and insisted that she accompany him for a meal.

Hearing Ling Xiaosu's reply, Ling An clearly relaxed. He stopped frowning and said, "No one is looking for you …" "That's good, that's good."

Ling Xiaosu looked curiously at Ling An's abnormal reaction. "What's wrong with you?" Has something happened? "

Ling An shook his head and replied with a smile, "No, I'm just worried about you."

Ling An's expression was clearly different. Nothing had happened, so why were they so nervous?

Ling Xiaosu could not believe him, "Ling An An, don't think about hiding anything from me. You'd better answer my question honestly."

Ling An shifted his gaze, afraid to meet Ling Xiaosu's eyes.

Ling Xiaosu stared fixedly at Ling An An. Ling An An's expression made it seem as if something was up, but he kept trying to hide it from her, hesitating to speak.

"Ling An An, tell me, is there something you're hiding from me?" Ling Xiaosu asked.

Since Ling An An didn't say anything, she might as well ask.

Ling An stammered out his answer. "No … nothing at all. It's just …"

Ling Xiaosu was slightly displeased. Since when did Ling An An An An hide this from her? He didn't even tell her what had happened.

"Ling An An, since when did you like to hide things from me?" Ling Xiaosu's tone was a bit harsh. She was not happy that Ling An An was hiding the truth from her.

Ling An was a little nervous from the question. He frowned slightly and said a little angrily, "Don't ask me!" I don't know! "Don't always ask questions!"

Ling Xiaosu was confused by the displeasure in Ling An's words.

Ling An realized that his tone wasn't right and hurriedly explained to Ling Xiaosu, "I-I-I didn't do it on purpose. Xiaoxiao, don't blame me."

Ling Xiaosu understood that Ling Xiaosu was a little stubborn in the outside world, but Ling An was always soft in front of her. Sometimes, Ling Xiaosu even suspected that she was the real mother, while Ling An was more like her daughter.

However, Ling Xiaosu could tell from Ling An's words that he was disgusted with Ling Xiaosu. Looking at Ling Xiaosu frantically apologizing to her, Ling Xiaosu felt helpless.

Looking around, Ling Xiaosu let out a sigh and said, "Go in, don't talk downstairs. It's not good to be seen by others."

Especially the naughty Aunt Wang next door.

Ling An nodded. Afraid that Ling Xiaosu would be angered, he followed Ling Xiaosu into the elevator.

After arriving home, Ling An nervously pressed his fingers together. Gritting his teeth, he probed in a soft voice, "Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry. Just now, I …"

"I'm fine." Ling Xiaosu waved her hand nonchalantly. She did not even bother about Ling An's unfavorable tone.

Knowing that Ling Xiaosu wasn't angry, Ling An calmed down.

Even though Ling Xiaosu was her daughter, Ling An felt that as a mother, she was very afraid of her daughter. As such, he had no idea why.

Ling Xiaosu closed her eyes and frowned, looking irritated.

Ling An walked up to Ling Xiaosu and sat down next to her. He asked, "Xiaoxiao, your eyes are a little swollen. What's wrong?"

When she first saw Ling Xiaosu downstairs, she noticed that Ling Xiaosu's eyes were a little swollen and a little red. Did she not sleep well?

Ling Xiaosu frowned as she shook her head, "I'm fine. I haven't slept well recently. I'll be fine after a day's rest."

Ling An was slightly surprised. She had really guessed right. Ling Xiaosu really hadn't slept well.

"A day off?" Ling An was a little worried. "Do you have time to rest?" "A few months ago, you went to B City to direct the movie, and then came back to attend some sort of party. Where would you get the time to rest?"

Ling Xiaosu was simply too busy.

Looking at Ling Xiaosu's tired expression, Ling An rolled his eyes and suggested carefully, "Why don't we put down the filming and find some time to rest?" He really couldn't bear to see Ling Xiaosu get too tired.

Ling Xiaosu knew that Ling Anan was concerned about him, but he still shook his head and said, "I'm a newcomer who doesn't have anything in this industry. I should take this opportunity to learn more." In order to avoid falling into a trap.

"But …"

"It's fine." Ling Xiaosu interrupted Ling Anan with a comforting smile, "Work hard now. When we've paid off the rent for the restaurant and can afford a house, I'll find a chance to have a good rest."

Ling Anan bit his lips, sighing in the end without saying anything.

Previously, in order to open this teahouse, he had sold the house he used to live in to rent this piece of land.

Ling Xiaosu couldn't bear to see Ling An'an suffer such grievances. She knew that it wouldn't be easy for Ling An An to bring her along, so she couldn't give up. At the very least, she couldn't allow herself to calm down.

So she had to work hard, work hard, try to become a director, and then buy a house on the floor of the teahouse.
