Exclusive Love: Pampered by the Scheming Tycoon-Chapter 313 - 314: You Have Me Now
Lin Banxia froze again, her beautiful eyes filled with a trace of astonishment as she stared at Leng Weichen’s cold and handsome face. Lin Banxia faltered, unable to utter a word.
"Yesterday, Huo Yanting came looking for me. He said it’s humiliating for you to work here. I just don’t get it. Aren’t you two divorced? Why does he still meddle so much? Lin Banxia, do you really need to listen to him to such a degree? Where’s your self-respect?" Leng Weichen’s tone carried a hint of mockery, as if he were saying, "Lin Banxia, can you have some backbone?"
Lin Banxia secretly lamented; Leng Weichen had completely misunderstood the relationship between her and Huo Yanting.
But she didn’t dare to tell Leng Weichen directly that she was actually still secretly involved with Huo Yanting.
"President Leng, I don’t understand—why are you so good to me?" Lin Banxia recalled the question Huo Yanting told her to ask him last night. Hesitant, she decided to probe.
Leng Weichen’s deep, serene eyes twitched slightly. Faced with her pair of eyes clear like water, his expression showed slight panic, and his tone faltered: "I just felt you needed help—I wanted to sympathize with you."
"But... I don’t need your help right now. I took this job not because I was short on money. From the start, I just wanted to experience what working feels like. Later... when Huo Anya caused a stir, I found I could no longer stay at your company. I have to leave." Lin Banxia tried to reason with him, explaining her inevitable reason for departure.
Leng Weichen’s gaze darkened further, then he locked his eyes directly onto hers: "Lin Banxia, have you ever considered getting a boyfriend?"
"Ah..." Lin Banxia froze entirely.
Leng Weichen stood up, his tall and well-built frame taking a step closer to her: "Huo Yanting divorced you so cold-heartedly, leaving you to be insulted so miserably. Haven’t you thought about taking revenge on him?"
"W-What... do you mean?" Lin Banxia’s eyes widened, watching him approach her. She instinctively retreated two hurried steps only to realize her back had already pressed against the wall.
Leng Weichen followed up two steps closer, reaching out his large palm and placing it firmly against the wall beside her ear, cornering her against it.
"I mean, would you consider dating me?"
"N-No... I wouldn’t. I’m not in the mood to think about such things right now." Lin Banxia, catching on to his words, felt her heart pounding violently and only wanted to escape.
"Huo Yanting and Chu Tingting are already together. Don’t you know? Chu Tingting spends all day by his side learning management skills. At the company, they’re inseparable. Are you really okay with that?" Leng Weichen’s words struck Lin Banxia like a blow.
This time, Lin Banxia froze completely.
"Impossible, they..." Lin Banxia’s delicate lips trembled, but she found herself so shocked that she couldn’t even manage to speak clearly.
Leng Weichen’s gaze lingered on her trembling lips. His Adam’s apple involuntarily bobbed as he cursed under his breath, feeling an urge to kiss her.
But her pale, drained face looked so fragile and pitiful that it stirred his deepest compassion.
How could he possibly take advantage of her when she was so hurt?
"You’re not still holding illusions about Huo Yanting, are you? Banxia, don’t be foolish. Do something good for yourself. Huo Yanting has already begun anew with another woman. You could choose to start fresh with me too." Leng Weichen’s voice suddenly lowered into a husky tone, tinged with seduction.
Lin Banxia’s breathing grew increasingly shallow, as though she might faint from the lack of air. She stared at Zhun Weichen in disbelief, her mind thrown into chaos.
Huo Yanting and Chu Tingting are already together?
