She's a shrewd and sweet woman who transmigrated into a book.

Chapter 140: No More Expectations

Liu Jingyi and Leng Yunting walked out side by side.

Liu Jingyi walked slowly, so he slowed down to wait for her.

Then I just held her hand and wouldn't let go.

Liu Jingyi was quite reserved in public; she whispered, "Let go."

"Do not."

Leng Yunting wanted everyone in the school to know and see this, and now everyone who was supposed to see it has seen it.

Everyone knows that the prettiest girl in the school married a husband who was also exceptionally handsome.

The man was tall, with long legs, a narrow waist, and a handsome face; he looked dashing and debonair.

The driver was already waiting at the door.

Seeing the two people come out, he quickly got out of the car, went around to the other side of the car, and opened the car door.

Liu Jingyi got into the car, and Leng Yunting also got in and sat next to her.

After getting into the car, Liu Jingyi remembered to ask Leng Yunting, "Should we go back to the compound first?"

Leng Yunting toyed with her hand, his voice low and deep, and hummed in agreement.
"My father is home tonight, and Uncle Ji has come to visit."

Liu Jingyi frowned slightly as she listened to his words: "Ji Chenwen?"

Leng Yunting nodded.

"Leng Yunting?"

"Don't worry, I'm here. Do you want to see me?"

Leng Yunting asked a question in return, but he already had the answer in his heart.

Although Liu Jingyi had always kept it well hidden, Leng Yunting always knew that she had expectations.

She frowned slightly, pursed her lips silently, and said somewhat palely, "I suppose he doesn't like me that much?"

Otherwise, even though they've both been in the capital for so long, he's never come to see her.

She ran away from home, but Leng Yunting found her and brought her back; those children are her two kids...

She has many flaws, many bad habits.

She's lazy, pretentious, and loves to cry.

She has almost nothing to show for herself.

No, my college entrance exam scores were actually quite respectable.

Liu Jingyi remained silent for a long time, then said, "However, I don't need him to like me."

Leng Yunting thought so too; he believed that no one in the world could love her more than he did.
Liu Jingyi couldn't really explain how she felt right now.

Leng Yunting looked down at her. Her already pale face showed a hint of stubbornness, and there was a faint redness at the corner of her eyes.

He gently rubbed her tightly clenched fists. "Yiyi, don't be afraid."

After arriving home, she stood at the door for a long time.

She stood behind Leng Yunting, gripping his hand tighter and tighter, unwilling to let go.

She was actually a little nervous, but also a little expectant.

Leng Yunting took her hand and slowly stepped into the Leng family home.

Ji Chenwen raised his eyes and looked towards the doorway.

Liu Jingyi's face looked somewhat pale.

She was very beautiful, giving off a delicate and charming feeling, with no trace of sadness in her eyes.

She didn't seem very happy.

Ji Chenwen glanced at Leng Yunting beside her, wondering if that brat had offended her.

Liu Jingyi pursed her lips and put on a stern face.

However, even with an unhappy expression, she still has a touch of arrogance that makes people want to coax her.

Ji Chenwen just stared at her, remaining silent for a moment.

This is his own daughter.

Although they had met briefly before, she didn't actually have much affection for this father.

She wasn't the type to keep her thoughts to herself; all her unhappiness was written on her face.

Ji Chenwen stood up from the sofa, and compared to his previous calm and composed demeanor, he was now starting to feel nervous.

Ji Chenwen stepped forward, his voice unconsciously softening, showing none of the air of a superior.
"Yiyi?"

Liu Jingyi stood beside Leng Yunting, not really wanting to say anything.

However, he had already taken the initiative to greet her. Even though he wasn't her father, he was an elder with a good relationship with the Leng family.

She couldn't pretend she didn't hear it; she still had to show proper manners.

Liu Jingyi nodded. "Hello, Uncle Ji."

She didn't try to please him in any special way; she simply treated him as an elder relative of her husband.

Liu Jingyi's attitude was not as enthusiastic as last time; this time she was even colder.

Ji Chenwen didn't know how to start the conversation.

Liu Jingyi didn't say anything either, after all, she had lost her father's favor.

Seeing that she was absent-minded and didn't even have the slightest intention of dealing with him, Ji Chenwen felt a pang of heartache.

It was like a belated gust of wind, cutting through his heart like a knife.

“Yiyi, I’ve been looking for your mother all these years. I really didn’t know you existed. It was only when Yunting took you to see Ji Jue last time that I accidentally learned about your existence.”

Liu Jingyi actually knew that before she met him last time, she was quite looking forward to meeting this so-called father.

But he never showed up again, which made her feel heartbroken.

That's just the kind of person she is; once she's hurt or disappointed, she doesn't want to give her heart away anymore.

"Yiyi, it's not that I didn't want to come see you, it's just that the Ji family is in a mess, and I was afraid..."

She responded with an "oh," her attitude even colder than before.

Ji Chenwen was at a loss, feeling powerless in the face of his daughter's indifference.

Even if he had various unspeakable secrets and was unaware of her existence.

Even if he was indeed looking for his mother, he hadn't done anything for himself.

To put it bluntly, Liu Jingyi was somewhat indignant on behalf of the original owner of this body.

The original owner of this body had a really bad time after her mother passed away.

The better her stepmother treated her on the surface, the more she hated her behind her back.

To avoid causing her trouble, the Song family also dared not be kind to her openly.

Before she transmigrated into the book, the original owner of this body had always relied on her own stumbling and falling to grow up and to achieve the life she wanted.

The original body no longer exists.

Ji Chenwen can no longer make up for anything that the original owner has done.

The original owner of this body may have still longed for a father's love, but for the current Liu Jingyi, she does not crave it.

Because she had experienced her father's love.

She didn't think Ji Chenwen could compare to her father.

Ji Chenwen had clearly lost the composure and strategic thinking he usually displayed when facing any situation. He clenched his fists, and the dull pain in his heart grew stronger and stronger, as if a knife was slowly cutting into him.

This was something Ji Chenwen had never expected.

He had assumed that, after their brief encounter, she wouldn't be so resistant.

But now it seems she doesn't care at all.

Ji Chenwen hesitated for a moment, his Adam's apple bobbing, before he spoke:
Are university courses difficult?

Liu Jingyi shook her head: "It's not difficult."

"Leng Yunting, I'm tired, I want to rest," Jingyi said to Leng Yunting.

Although it might be impolite, she was genuinely feeling a bit uncomfortable.

"Wow wow wow..."

Ji Chenwen was about to say something when Sheng'er's crying interrupted everyone.
