Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 695 - 688: A Woman’s Mind (Part 2)

Leng Yichen’s sudden turn left Xiao Qiao a bit at a loss. She had clearly overheard the conversation Leng Yichen had on the phone earlier. Although she didn’t know the specifics, it felt like something of great importance.

Having overheard such an important matter, she wondered if it would cause Leng Yichen to dislike her.

"What are you here for?" Leng Yichen’s tone was unfriendly, as he casually tossed his phone onto the table, his eyes as dark as ink quietly observing her.

Xiao Qiao swallowed, trying to remain calm as she walked in and placed the food on the table. "I brought you some food. I know you’re not in a good mood, but your health is important. Without good health, you can’t do anything." After placing the food down, she straightened up and looked at Leng Yichen a bit timidly, "So, you should eat some. I cooked it myself, it might not taste as good as what your wife makes, but it’s not so bad that you can’t swallow it. You need to be full to have the energy to continue looking for your wife, right?"

Xiao Qiao looked at Leng Yichen timidly, quietly waiting for his response.

Leng Yichen nodded, his voice somewhat weak, "I know, I’ll eat."

Hearing Leng Yichen’s response, Xiao Qiao’s eyes lit up instantly, and her mood became cheerful. She giggled and said, "Then I won’t disturb you, eat while it’s hot!"

With that, Xiao Qiao hopped out.

Returning to the dining table, Wang Hai was almost done eating. Xiao Qiao picked up her chopsticks, starting to eat with a smile on her face.

After a few bites, as if she thought of something, Xiao Qiao cautiously asked, "Brother Hai, is your boss’s wife good-looking? What kind of person is she?"

Wang Hai was taken aback, "Why are you asking that?"

Xiao Qiao laughed it off, "Well, there’s nothing to do right now, so just making small talk. I’m just curious about what kind of person your boss’s wife is, someone who can make your boss not eat or drink while searching for her."

Wang Hai nodded and said, "The madam is very beautiful, the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen."

Xiao Qiao’s eyes widened, "More beautiful than the actresses on TV?"

Wang Hai laughed mockingly, "How can those actresses compare to our madam?"

"Oh, that beautiful~" Xiao Qiao felt a bit down, but her curiosity about the madam Wang Hai spoke of only intensified.

Wang Hai continued, "And she’s a woman who is very well-mannered, very kind, and very generous. But, she’s also very stubborn. The boss often gets infuriated by the madam, yet he can’t bear to get angry at her. Usually, he holds it in and then takes it out on others. When he occasionally does get angry with her, he feels incredibly guilty afterwards. The boss is a typical overprotective husband. Any man with ill intentions won’t even think about approaching the madam. If the boss finds out, the consequences are dire."

Wang Hai rambled on. He wasn’t sure why he was telling Xiao Qiao all of this. Maybe he was nostalgic for the days when Bai Yiran was around; those days were truly vibrant.

Watching Wang Hai and listening to what he said, a discomfort stirred in Xiao Qiao’s heart. So Leng Yichen cherishes his wife so much. Even though she hadn’t met Bai Yiran yet, Xiao Qiao was already beginning to envy her.

Seeing that Xiao Qiao had fallen silent, Wang Hai finished the last bite of rice in his bowl and got up to wash his dish.

Noticing this, Xiao Qiao quickly said, "Brother Hai, just leave the bowl there. I’ll do the washing."

Wang Hai obediently put the bowl down and left the dining table, leaving Xiao Qiao alone.

Xiao Qiao ate absentmindedly, finding the food increasingly unappetizing.
