Exclusive Love: Pampered by the Scheming Tycoon-Chapter 314 - 315: Inviting Her to Be His Female Companion
Lin Banxia’s entire body was tense like a drawn bow, her breathing rapid. Then, arching her eyebrows, she forced a feigned smile: "President Leng, what are you talking about? I don’t understand."
She worked hard to steady her breathing, trying her best not to let Leng Weichen see the intense sorrow that was threatening to overflow from her heart.
"Don’t understand?" Leng Weichen’s eyes clouded as he scrutinized her exquisite face. Then, the dangerous pressure that had weighed down on her lifted. With an elegant stride, he returned to his seat: "If you want to resign, you can—on one condition."
"What condition?" Lin Banxia’s mind was still blank. Hearing his answer, she immediately asked.
"Tonight, accompany me to an event." Leng Weichen’s voice rose slightly, while his deep, ocean-like eyes locked directly on her expression.
"What kind of event?" Lin Banxia’s heart stiffened slightly. Leng Weichen had agreed so easily that this event must not be simple.
"A charity gala. Don’t worry—I just returned to the country and am missing a female companion. Coincidentally, the organizers of this gala extended a warm invitation to me, so I must attend." Leng Weichen continued to fix his gaze on her, waiting for her reply.
Lin Banxia was already a nervous wreck, still not having recovered from the blow of hearing about Huo Yanting and Chu Tingting being together.
"President Leng, you have so many exceptional women around you. You should pick one of them instead. I’m not suited for an occasion like this."
"This is my only condition!" His voice sank, layering with a darker tone.
Lin Banxia still shook her head: "I won’t go. I see that Huo Anya admires you deeply. Why don’t you..."
"Lin Banxia, what are you afraid of? Do I bite?" Leng Weichen cut her off directly, letting out a self-deprecating laugh.
Lin Banxia kept her head down, her thoughts swirling in chaos. She answered him offhandedly: "Of course you don’t bite, but I don’t know what identity I should use to accompany you, and I will only make you lose face."
She was a discarded woman from a rich family, once the laughingstock and disgrace of that social circle.
Leng Weichen’s choice of her would undoubtedly be his worst decision.
Leng Weichen’s expression stiffened for a moment. Then, he said quietly, "I don’t think you’ll embarrass me."
Lin Banxia suddenly lifted her head, staring at his tranquil and undisturbed eyes. Her emotions in turmoil, she said: "But I don’t want to humiliate you. Pick someone else—I’ll be taking my leave now."
"Don’t you want to go and see for yourself?" Leng Weichen’s voice rang out unexpectedly.
Just a few steps into her retreat, Lin Banxia stopped dead in her tracks.
Her delicate frame stood frozen in place, unmoving.
"Tonight, Huo Yanting and Chu Tingting are the stars of the show!"
Lin Banxia’s heart clenched tightly once more. She turned back to look at Leng Weichen: "Why are you telling me this? I’m not interested."
"Not interested? Then why not see for yourself on-site?" Leng Weichen stood up again.
Lin Banxia’s mind spun chaotically—she seemed to understand what Leng Weichen was implying.
"I don’t want to see it!" Lin Banxia bit her lower lip, her voice so faint it was as if only she could hear it.
Then, she walked away hurriedly. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
Leng Weichen found himself increasingly unable to fathom this woman. What kind of feelings did she actually have for Huo Yanting?
Huo Yanting was undoubtedly toxic. Once a woman was entangled with him, it seemed impossible to quit him for a lifetime.
Although Lin Banxia had masked her emotions well earlier, he could still see how stiff her body had been.
It was the most instinctive reaction—no matter how composed her expression remained, her heart was already hurting.
Leng Weichen’s gaze dimmed slightly. He had never thought of competing with Huo Yanting, but at this moment, he found himself unable to hide the jealousy gnawing inside him.
