Chapter 35: A Passerby in a CEO Romance Novel (35)
Good news: Leyan never got to live the life of a family of four.
The bad news: she is now living a happy life with her family of five.
Because of Le Yan's sudden and bizarre actions, she, Rong Jing, Gu Yunting, Shen Mubai, and You Wenwen are now sitting together in the villa.
After receiving the news, Gu Yunting and the other two rushed to Morris Island without taking anyone else with them. Even the helicopter was piloted by Shen Mubai. Now that the key had been thrown into the sea by Le Yan, none of them could leave.
Rong Jing does have a helicopter, but he won't let Gu Yunting and the others use it.
Gu Yunting and the other two couldn't possibly watch Rong Jing leave with Le Yan, so in the end, all five of them ended up sitting in the villa.
awkward.
That was really embarrassing.
Quiet.
It was very quiet.
The atmosphere inside this huge villa was so tense that not even a fly dared to fly in.
No one spoke, but everyone's expression was different.
Especially Le Yan, who really wanted to die, was sandwiched between Gu Yunting and Rong Jing, with You Wenwen and Shen Mubai standing in front of her, making her completely numb.
"I said, why don't you guys move away from me and give me a break?"
Exhausted, Le Yan was no longer flustered. She spoke expressionlessly, trying to claim some private space for herself.
Gu Yunting lowered his head and obediently moved to the side... just a little bit.
Rong Jing followed suit and moved over as well.
Shen Mubai and You Wenwen didn't move. They weren't very close to Le Yan to begin with, since there was a whole coffee table between them.
This group of people is infuriating! Le Yan gritted her teeth in anger. She pursed her lips, glared at each of them, stood up aggressively, put her hands on her hips, and shouted angrily, "What exactly do you want?!"
"I want to get married." You Wenwen raised her hand first, smiling charmingly and giving Le Yan a wink.
Shen Mubai followed suit, raising his hand as well: "+1".
"Then you two should get married."
Le Yan spoke with such sincerity that it was hard for anyone to hold back, leaving Shen Mubai and You Wenwen dumbfounded.
Ignoring everything else, she looked back at Gu Yunting and Rong Jing and asked again, "What about you two? What do you want?"
Gu Yunting and Rong Jing, who had just wanted to speak but were a step too slow, glanced at the other two who were frozen in place and suddenly hesitated to speak.
They were a little afraid of hearing something that might break their defenses.
But since Leyan was staring intently at him, he couldn't remain silent.
After thinking for a moment, the two spoke one after the other.
Rong Jing: "I want to be with you."
Gu Yunting: "I want to take you home."
"Oh, think about it."
Le Yan smiled slightly, looking with satisfaction as the petrochemical team gained two more members.
She clapped her hands as if brushing off dust, then glanced lightly at the group and said, "I'm going up now, you can do as you please."
The excessive stimulation actually calmed Leyan down completely.
They can go crazy all they want, she doesn't care anymore, as long as they don't get hurt.
Calmly walking past the petrified Gu Yunting, Le Yan went upstairs while pondering to herself.
From her perspective, having read so many novels, these guys, though crazy, still have some principles.
After all, she had read novels about forced love before, and the heroines in those novels were always miserable.
As for her, although she experienced kidnapping and imprisonment, that's about it.
In comparison, this plague-stricken world has been quite good to her, hasn't it?
With a burst of Ah Q-like spirit, Leyan convinced herself.
No matter how many more messed up things happen next, as long as she's healthy in body and mind, so be it.
She can't care less.
Le Yan quietly returned to her room, lay down on the bed to rest, stared at the ceiling for a while, and then suddenly sat up again.
She ran to the bathroom, staring at her own face in the mirror, looking at it from left to right, up to down, and couldn't help but frown.
She's just an ordinary, unremarkable face that you wouldn't notice in a crowd. Standing next to those four people downstairs, she's on a completely different level. What exactly do they see in her?
Le Yan was completely baffled.
downstairs
Watching Le Yan calmly and confidently go upstairs, the four people present were somewhat taken aback.
There's no other reason than that Le Yan appeared too calm.
Just a moment ago she looked flustered, scared and resistant, but now she has no emotions at all.
The contrast is so stark, it's like they're two completely different people.
Rong Jing adapted to this situation faster than the other three.
Because he had already experienced it once before. The day Le Yan woke up and found herself trapped on this island, she had the same emotional change.
However, this is for the best, since constantly suppressing fear and apprehension can damage her physical and mental health.
Rong Jing sighed inwardly, then dismissed these thoughts and instead coldly sized up the other three, saying with a sneer, "Gentlemen, it's time to snap out of it."
This is his villa, he is the owner, so even if he is outnumbered three to one, he doesn't panic at all.
"It must have been so kind of you all to travel all the way to Morris. I wonder how you'll get back now."
Gu Yunting said expressionlessly, "Then there's no need for Mr. Rong to worry about it. We have our own way of taking Leyan away."
Although they didn't bring anyone with them before they came, that doesn't mean they didn't arrange for someone to come.
It's just a little later, it's nothing.
Rong Jing raised an eyebrow slightly. "Is that so?"
It's already an exception that these people were allowed to come to the island due to a single oversight. If anyone could easily come to the island, then he wouldn't need to be this protector of the beauties.
With a light tap of his fingertips on the table, Shen Mubai spoke casually, "Young Master Rong, we're not really enemies, so why make it a fight to the death?"
He casually raised his eyes, and with a single sentence, he drew the attention of the other three people to him.
You Wenwen frowned slightly, "Hey Shen, what trick are you up to now!"
Shen Mubai shrugged innocently, spread his hands and laughed, "No, when did I play any tricks?"
"I just want to have a proper talk with Young Master Rong."
He looked at Rong Jing meaningfully, and Rong Jing frowned under his gaze, already having a general idea of what he wanted to talk about.
"Talk? There's nothing to talk about."
Rong Jing spoke indifferently, his attitude resolute.
Gu Yunting guessed what Shen Mubai wanted to say and coldly rebuked him: "Shen Mubai, don't do useless things."
He had always known that Shen Mubai was a madman, but he never expected him to be this mad.
It's one thing to drag him and You Wenwen into this, but why drag Rong Jing into it too?
Are they truly not afraid of death?
You Wenwen glared angrily at Shen Mubai, "You'd better shut up."
Her patience had its limits; if she could kill them, none of those three bastards would have survived.
