After rejecting my celebrity husband novel Chapter 226

Chapter 226: Chapter 227: Can I Talk to You [3]

Reaching out, Leng Zimo pulled her up, and his other hand landed heavily on her back.

Luo Xiaoqian suddenly coughed hard, and a piece of apple flew out of her mouth, landing on the bedsheet.

With the foreign object expelled from her windpipe, she gasped for air desperately.

"I’m sorry!" Jiao Yang had also already reached the bedside, looking at her face flushed red, his smile fading, "Xiao Qian, how are you doing?"

"I’m fine!"

Luo Xiaoqian shook her head as she panted, her gaze stealthily shifting towards Leng Zimo.

Instead of the anger she had anticipated, Leng Zimo’s expression was complex. It seemed to carry a hint of reproach, a touch of helplessness, and a trace of other emotions she couldn’t quite grasp at the moment.

"I..."

She had barely let out a word when he wrapped an arm around her, pulling a piece of tissue paper from the side table on Jiao Yang’s side, wiping the juice from the corner of her mouth, and then casually picking up the apple she had coughed onto the bed. He looked up at Jiao Yang standing opposite him, and for the first time since his entrance, Leng Zimo spoke.

"Move aside!"

Those two brief words carried complex implications.

It seemed as if he was blaming Jiao Yang for blocking the trash can, but it seemed to be more than just that.

Jiao Yang met his gaze with a smile, then stepped aside.

Leng Zimo raised his hand, tossing the tissue and the piece of apple into the trash bin together.

Luo Xiaoqian sensed the strange atmosphere between the two men, swallowed, and tried to say something to break the awkwardness but didn’t know what would be appropriate.

Meanwhile, Leng Zimo had already bent down, holding her head to the side and pressing his forehead against hers.
