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

Chapter 156 In the end, he still didn't trust her!

Leng Yunting then called his bodyguard, Xiao Li, and asked him to investigate.

A moment later, a reply came.

Leng Yunting knew she had met with Chen Xingjie, and his face darkened considerably, his eyes blazing with fury that seemed about to erupt.

A chilling calm emanated from the air.

Liu Jingyi had no idea that Leng Yunting, who was thousands of miles away, could still know her whereabouts so clearly.

Liu Jingyi was actually quite happy, after all, she and Chen Xingjie had finally cleared things up.

She happily called Leng Yunting back, wanting to tell him.

The man answered the phone, and his tone wasn't very friendly; Liu Jingyi could tell immediately that something was off about him.

"You met with Chen Xingjie?"

Leng Yunting spoke up immediately.

When Liu Jingyi was confronted with Leng Yunting's barrage of questions, the joy she had wanted to share with him was instantly extinguished.

Instead, my mind suddenly clicked.

How did you know I met Chen Xingjie today?

Liu Jingyi wasn't there specifically to see Chen Xingjie; she was there to look at the shop, but she didn't expect him to be there.

Although she was acting openly and honestly, she didn't seem to run into anyone she knew.

How did Leng Yunting find out about this, and why did he suddenly call to ask about it?

Leng Yunting's anger was stunned by the question posed by Liu Jingyi.

He dared not openly tell Liu Jingyi that he had released the person behind her back.

He knew that Liu Jingyi was someone who couldn't stand being wronged and didn't like being controlled.

Especially regarding control, she spoke to him very firmly, even openly, leaving no room for negotiation.

Liu Jingyi has said this more than once.

She hates the kind of man who controls women, the kind who is chauvinistic and insists that everything be done his way and that everything be controlled. She feels very restricted by this kind of behavior.

Therefore, he was afraid that if he told the truth, she might hold a grudge against him again.

And he's the kind of person who's not easily appeased; you have to ignore him for at least ten days to two weeks.

Leng Yunting once thought it might take even longer.

Having experienced her tenderness and affection, and having gained her unwavering trust and reliance, Leng Yunting had no desire for her to hold a grudge against him like before.

But he didn't want to lie to her either.

Between two evils, he chose the lesser one, so he simply didn't choose either, pursed his lips, and said nothing.

Liu Jingyi gripped the phone tightly, her mind already filled with all sorts of suspicions.

She wasn't stupid; the smile on her lips had vanished, replaced by a sour expression. She went straight to the point, asking him, "Did you have someone watching me?"

She couldn't think of any other reason.

When Liu Jingyi asked this question, she was very cold and devoid of any warmth.

The fact that Liu Jingyi asked this question shows that she was really angry.

She has always said that she doesn't like feeling watched over, as it feels like not being trusted.

The more Liu Jingyi thought about it, the more convinced she became. Otherwise, how could Leng Yunting seem to have eyes and know her every move?

Much later, she heard his voice, slightly hoarse and somewhat deep, "Mmm."

Now that she had asked, Leng Yunting was unwilling to lie to her.

How long can you fool someone? Sooner or later, they'll find out.

Moreover, even if he didn't say it, Liu Jingyi, with her intelligence, had already guessed it.

Upon hearing this "hmm," Liu Jingyi was absolutely furious.

“Xiao Li didn’t come with me, Yiyi, I’m not trying to spy on you…” But it wasn’t just pure concern for her.

Any other reason sounds perfectly respectable at this moment.

Liu Jingyi didn't listen to what Leng Yunting said on the other end of the phone and hung up immediately.

Liu Jingyi looked quite fierce, her angry expression actually making her seem rather intimidating.

Liu Jingyi was currently consumed by her anger; she disliked being stared at.

Even if this person is Leng Yunting, she still cannot accept it.

Leng Yunting kept saying that he had someone keep an eye on her all the time because he was worried about her and wanted what was best for her.

But this clearly shows that even now, he still doesn't trust her.

She is an adult with her own sound mind.

Of course, they also have the right to live freely.

She suddenly realized that what she heard that night was not a dream, but reality.

Leng Yunting would indeed keep her under house arrest in a morbid manner.

Then build her a cage.

Liu Jingyi took a deep breath, her face darkening as she thought of the spies Leng Yunting had planted around her.

She's the kind of person who puts everything on the table; there's no way she can hide anything.

Therefore, at dinner time.

Almost everyone at the table could tell that someone had offended her again.

Leng Yunfeng put down his chopsticks, his gaze fixed calmly on the person sitting opposite him. With his parents gone, he was the head of the household.

Leng Yunfeng calmly asked, "Sister-in-law, is there something you're unhappy about?"

Liu Jingyi, whose name was called, suddenly stiffened, but she couldn't afford to lose her temper in front of her uncle, so she whispered, "No."

She also put down her chopsticks and sat up straight: "I'm full."

Leng Yunfeng saw that she had her hands folded on her lap, sitting upright, and his already cold gaze seemed to intensify even further.

Is he really that scary?
Chen Zhiyue didn't seem to be afraid of him at all!

Leng Yunting said, "Sister-in-law, you don't need to treat me like a monster. I'm not that scary."

Liu Jingyi thought to herself, wondering how Sister Zhiyue could have taken a liking to him.

Of course, her appearance is still quite striking.

It's also possible that Sister Zhiyue, like her, was attracted to the man's good looks.

When she first returned to the capital, she was lectured by him quite a bit. She wasn't stupid or blind, so of course she could see that this older brother disapproved of her extravagant and lazy lifestyle.

It's just that, as the elder brother, I can't say much.

But it wasn't that nothing was said.

Leng Yunfeng saw that she was still keeping her head down, seemingly unmoved by his words.

He was in a bad mood, seemingly angry, but he had to hold it in.

Before his younger brother left, he told him to take good care of his girlfriend, who was also worried about her and asked him to look after her.

However, Liu Jingyi didn't say anything, only saying, "I'm full, big brother, you can eat slowly."

Leng Yunfeng stopped pressuring her; it would be counterproductive to cry in front of his girlfriend again.

However, they didn't intend to let it go on like that, so they called in a nanny.

When the young master has a long face, he can be quite frightening.

"It seems he had a fight with Commander Leng."

"She was initially quite happy when she was about to make the call, but she hung up shortly afterward, looking very upset."

Leng Yunfeng understood.
"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your hard work today."
