After rejecting my celebrity husband novel Chapter 616

Chapter 616: Chapter 620: Not Forgiving [1]

She could understand the kind of affection Leng Zimo had for Xu Pei.

The Xu Pei of the past was someone closer to Leng Zimo than childhood friends like Huangfu Ao and Shen Yizhou, akin to Zirui—she wasn’t just his friend, partner, but also family.

After returning home today, Leng Zimo had locked himself in the piano room; she quietly went downstairs several times but didn’t hear him play a single note.

Luo Xiaoqian knew he was hurting inside.

With such a betrayal, anyone would feel the pain.

If it had been someone else, Leng Zimo would have surely given them a severe punishment, but Xu Pei was too special.

If her concession could make Leng Zimo’s life easier, then she would endure it one more time.

"Come here."

Leng Zimo put his chopsticks down and spoke softly.

Luo Xiaoqian stood up, and he pulled her wrist to sit her down on his lap.

"She went too far this time. I should have sent her to prison, and even that would have been a light punishment," Leng Zimo lifted his hands and pulled Luo Xiaoqian’s head to lean on his shoulder, pressing his face against hers. "My hesitation isn’t because I still harbor old feelings, it’s because of Dad. The case of Xu Pei’s father was personally arranged by my dad to be investigated. At first, he refused to believe that his best comrade-in-arms would betray his country; he just wanted to clear Xu’s father’s name. But as the investigation went on, he ultimately found evidence against Xu’s father."

Rubbing her hair, Leng Zimo let out a long sigh.
