Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Qi didn’t dare to stay a word.
Qiu Yang forced a stiff smile and said, “You look exceptionally beautiful when you get angry.”
Seeing Qiu Yang’s awkward expression, Wen Nuan burst into laughter and said, “You’re considerate. My mood has improved. If you get tired while shopping later, I’ll let you rest for five minutes.”
Su Qi cleared his throat, feeling like the flattery was a bit overboard. Still, something didn’t seem quite right.
Qiu Yang’s forced smile became even more rigid, and he suddenly felt like he had been dragged into something he couldn’t escape from.
Jiang Ling’er chuckled and said, “Alright, let’s go. We just finished eating, so don’t act like you’re starving.”
Around 6 o’clock, Jiang Ling’er’s phone rang.
Seeing the caller ID, she immediately put it on speaker.
On the other end of the line, Li Yu asked, “Where are you?”
Jiang Ling’er helplessly glanced at Wen Nuan and replied, “We’re at the hotel, with Wen Nuan.”
Li Yu said, “If you have no plans, let me treat you both to dinner.”
Wen Nuan, with an angry tone, interjected, “Treat us? Now you’re not bothered by my presence?”
Li Yu replied indifferently, “You can choose not to come.”
Jiang Ling’er covered her face.
Wen Nuan, looking furious, said, “Humph! We’re going to eat at a five-star hotel buffet, and it’s going to be amazing! If you want to take Ling’er out, forget it! I’ll weld the windows shut, not just the door!”
Li Yu said, “Wait there.”
With that, Li Yu hung up.
Wen Nuan was nearly driven mad by anger. She said, “Ling’er, can you see this? He’s so rude even now!”
Jiang Ling’er helplessly consoled her, “Don’t be upset. I’ll stay and eat with you.”
Wen Nuan instantly felt better and said, “Ling’er, you’re too kind, but you don’t need to stay with me.”
Jiang Ling’er asked, puzzled, “Why? You came all this way to find me. How could I let you stay alone here? Even though he can be difficult, he’s not that petty.”
Wen Nuan disdainfully said, “Don’t forget that this guy is very possessive when it comes to you.”
Jiang Ling’er said, “I think you’re overthinking it. If he keeps bothering you, just give him a good beating. Remember, you’ve had training.”
Wen Nuan helplessly responded, “Don’t make fun of me. Although I’ve had training, I doubt I could beat him even if my brother helped.”
Jiang Ling’er asked, “Isn’t your brother quite good at it?”
Wen Nuan replied, “Yes, he’s quite formidable.”
Jiang Ling’er said, “You don’t have to worry too much. If he dares to trouble you, I’ll help you give him a beating.”
Wen Nuan smiled instantly and said, “Ling’er, 1 know you’re concerned about me being alone, but I won’t go because I don’t want to be a third wheel.”
Jiang Ling’er was speechless.
Why did this girl always overthink things? Couldn’t she think of something else?
Wen Nuan, with a somewhat sly smile, said, “Alright, go on, have some fun!”
Jiang Ling’er:…
Jiang Ling’er’s mouth twitched a few times as she found Wen Nuan’s smile somewhat eerie.
At this moment, Jiang Ling’er’s phone rang again.
Seeing that it was Li Yu calling, Wen Nuan immediately pushed Jiang Ling’er out of the room.
Wen Nuan said, “Hurry, go, have a great time!”
With that, Wen Nuan closed the door.
Jiang Ling’er looked at her slippers and sighed, saying, “Wen Nuan, my shoes are still inside. I can’t go out in slippers, can I? My room key is in my bag too!”
In just a few seconds, Wen Nuan brought out her shoes and bag and then closed the door again.
Jiang Ling’er smiled wryly, put on her shoes, and said, “Wen Nuan, don’t forget to keep my slippers. I’m leaving now. Please don’t just play games; remember to have dinner.”
Wen Nuan chuckled on the sofa. Li Yu might consider her a hindrance, but Wen Nuan knew that Li Yu genuinely liked Jiang Ling’er. As for her brother, he probably had some feelings for Ling’er too, but their family would definitely not approve.
When Jiang Ling’er arrived in the hotel lobby, Li Yu was sitting on a couch.
Li Yu noticed Jiang Ling’er coming alone and curiously glanced behind her. He asked, “Miss Wen isn’t coming with you?”
Jiang Ling’er helplessly replied, “She has other plans.”
Li Yu smiled and said, “You can’t lie convincingly, can you?”
Jiang Ling’er innocently replied, “To be honest, she finds you a bit intrusive.”
Li Yu was momentarily surprised, then gently stroked Jiang Ling’er’s hair. He said, “As long as you don’t dislike me.. Come on, I’ll take you to enjoy some delicious food!”
