After rejecting my celebrity husband novel Chapter 441

Chapter 441: Chapter 444: Some Loves are Only Namesake [7]

"Uncle Leng!" Xu Pei trotted up the steps and, laughing, supported his arm, handing the gift she was carrying over to a security guard beside them, "It’s been a year since we’ve seen each other, and you seem to have gotten even more youthful and handsome!"

"Of course!" Leng Lin laughed heartily, "You always knew how to sweet-talk, come on, let’s go inside!"

Walking her into the living room, Leng Lin continued to marvel, "No wonder they say daughters are like little quilted jackets close to the heart. Just seeing you makes Uncle Leng happy. Those two rascals, just thinking about them makes me angry!"

"You set your standards too high, Zimo and Zirui are both business elites, one a top figure in commerce, the other a king among men—everyone gives them a thumbs-up!" Xu Pei took the coffee offered by Aunt Su, the Leng Family’s longtime maid, thanked her, and then picked up a paper bag from the gifts she had brought, "Aunt Su, this is for you!"

"Miss Xu, you’re too kind!" Aunt Su thanked her as she received the bag.

Xu Pei then handed another paper bag to the maid, before settling back down next to Leng Lin to chat.

They talked until noon when Aunt Su cooked up a whole table of delicious dishes. After lunch, they had tea and chatted for a while longer before Xu Pei stood up to say goodbye.

Leng Lin saw her out personally, repeatedly urging her to visit more often. Xu Pei agreed wholeheartedly and reminded him to take good care of his health before driving away.

Once everyone was back in the living room, Leng Lin had a cup of tea and then went upstairs for his nap, while Aunt Su picked up the paper bag Xu Pei had left by the sofa, planning to put the gifts away.

Just as she lifted the bag, there was a pop, as one of the paper bags came apart, and a thick stack of newspapers immediately tumbled out, scattering across the floor.

"Oh no!"

Aunt Su exclaimed in surprise.
