Chapter 461: Chapter 459: It’s All Because My Yangyang Speaks Too Indirectly
At that moment, Lu Jinyang was already questioning him, "When did you schedule that meeting for me?"
"I... I remembered incorrectly." Leng Yixing’s heart seized with fear, particularly afraid of Lu Jinyang probing further, lest it backfire.
When he went to pick up Xiao Qing, Lin Xiaoxiao had just entered Lu Jinyang’s office, mentioning that there was a project from the Lin Family that nobody could decide on, hence they sent Lin Xiaoxiao to consult with Lu Jinyang.
How could Leng Yixing not know Lin Xiaoxiao’s intention?
Lu Jinyang had not been to work these days, and as soon as he did come, Lin Xiaoxiao showed up. Likely, consulting was merely a pretense, perhaps with another less pure motive being the reality.
He knew that Lu Jinyang was not interested in this Lin Xiaoxiao, but on the other hand, he was afraid that Xiao Qing would find out that these two were alone in the office... Therefore, the lie just now happened.
If Leng Yixing had known the consequences, he would never have spoken out of turn.
"Assistant Leng, as an assistant, how could you forget such matters? This should not happen again! Also, go to the front desk and ask who let unrelated personnel in."
Leng Yixing instinctively looked towards Lin Xiaoxiao, only to see her face drained of color, lips tightly pursed, teetering on her feet.
Turning his gaze away, he said, "Alright, I’ll go right now. Miss Lin, please~"
Lin Xiaoxiao collected her composure, grabbed her bag, and walked out; halfway through, Xiao Qing called out to her.
"Shuqing, do you have anything else?" Lin Xiaoxiao felt a spark of hope hearing Xiao Qing’s voice.
"Hmm. I just wanted to ask if there’s anything you might have left behind? It would be a hassle for Assistant Leng if you remember it only after leaving."
Lin Xiaoxiao’s facial expression instantly froze, she incredulously looked at Xiao Qing as if trying to see right through her.
"You know, Assistant Leng is very busy; he can’t possibly handle everything personally, so it’s better to find it now," Xiao Qing said with a fitting smile, a look of concern on her face.
Lin Xiaoxiao snapped back to reality, a coy smile on her lips, "It’s okay, I can come again later to pick it up."
"Miss Lin, may I ask if you have a hearing problem?"
Lin Xiaoxiao was puzzled.
Xiao Qing smiled gently, sighed, and said, "It’s probably because my Jinyang speaks too indirectly. Just now, for instance, when he asked Assistant Leng who allowed unrelated personnel in, I presume Miss Lin didn’t understand his implication."
"What?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked instinctively.
On the side, Lu Jinyang and Leng Yixing’s faces twitched upon hearing how Xiao Qing addressed Lu Jinyang~
"That is to say, among us here, someone is an unrelated person. It isn’t Assistant Leng, nor can it be a child, and definitely not me, so...."
Lin Xiaoxiao bit her lip hard, taking a long while before responding, "Shuqing, that’s just your assumption; maybe Jinyang doesn’t think so?" she said, looking hopefully at Lu Jinyang.
Xiao Qing’s expression remained unaltered, correcting her, "Sorry Miss Lin, I’m Xiao Qing, not your mentioned Shuqing, and moreover, today is the first time we meet." She wasn’t concerned about offending anyone as she remembered nothing about the past.
Following Lin Xiaoxiao’s gaze, Xiao Qing looked towards Lu Jinyang. His eyes were hollow, unfocused.
After a while, Lu Jinyang spoke, "Miss Lin, I think you must have misunderstood something."
Lin Xiaoxiao’s heart clenched violently, her body trembling uncontrollably, "But Jinyang, we were supposed to get engaged..."
"Engaged? You are mistaken, I have never brought that up."
