At the entrance of the supermarket, Wen Nuan came out with a lot of groceries, pondering what dishes would be appropriate to make.
Until a gentle voice stopped her: "Nuannuan?"
Wen Nuan looked up, a smile immediately spreading across her face: "Big brother, are you here to do some shopping?"
"I came to handle some matters nearby and decided to pick up a few things on the way." Leng Ye looked at the two full bags she was carrying and chuckled lightly, "Buying so many ingredients, it seems like Nuannuan is quite the cook."
"You’re joking, big brother."
Wen Nuan awkwardly stuck out her tongue, a blush rising on her charming face, "I made plans with Yan to have dinner together tonight, but as for my cooking... I wonder if he’ll be able to stomach it."
"Let me put these in the trunk for you."
Leng Ye took the bags and placed them in the trunk, unable to hold back his praise: "Yan is really lucky to have married such a virtuous and beautiful wife."
Virtuous and beautiful... making him somewhat regret his runaway marriage.
"You’re too kind, big brother," Nuannuan said awkwardly, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
Leng Yan never considered marrying her a stroke of luck...
Leng Yan looked at her warmly and asked with concern, "How’s the job hunt going? If you can’t find one, I can give you a special opportunity to work at the Leng Family."
"No need, I went for an interview today, and I’ll be starting soon. Big brother, I have to go now, goodbye." Wen Nuan smiled slightly. Recalling Leng Yan’s words, she didn’t want to talk too much with Leng Ye before clarifying the relationship between Leng Yan and Leng Ye. Just as she was about to turn around, a tall shadow suddenly swept by, startling Wen Nuan and making her freeze in place.
Leng Ye shouted urgently, pulling her by the waist. A blur of gray quickly passed by her side. She stood there dumbfounded for a moment, then saw the person was chasing after a playful little dog that had broken free from its leash.
"Thank you, big brother."
Wen Nuan blushed as she thanked him, realizing she was still in his embrace, and quickly stepped back, only to find two people walking side by side next to her, brushing closely against her, leaving her with no room to retreat.
"Wen Nuan?!" Leng Yan, who had just ordered a coffee at the café on the first floor of the supermarket, caught Wen Nuan and Leng Ye from the corner of his eye, his deep eyes filled with a dark storm.
With a low curse, he clenched his fists. By the time he came out, Wen Nuan’s car had already left, and Leng Ye was looking somewhat absent-mindedly in the direction of her departing car.
"What a coincidence, what is big brother looking at?" Leng Yan concealed the storm on his face, greeting Leng Ye with a half-smile, half-frown expression, and deliberately following his gaze, "Huh, that car seems to be Nuannuan’s?"
Leng Ye was only surprised for a second at Leng Yan’s appearance. He quickly wore an innocent smile, "It’s hers. Yan, Nuannuan is truly a virtuous wife, you’re in for a treat tonight, she’s planning to cook for you."
"Such a good woman, it’s a pity you gave her to me, big brother." Leng Yan chuckled softly, a hint of mockery flashing in his deep eyes, his voice so light only he and Leng Ye could hear: "Big brother, you made a mistake escaping the marriage this time!"
With that, Leng Yan turned and strode back to the café, looking at the dark coffee with a barely discernible wry smile on his thin lips.
Yes, it wasn’t just him who miscalculated. Even his astute mother had made mistakes, otherwise, how could Leng Yan have been born!
Leng Ye murmured softly, a sly smile playing on his lips as he took out his phone and pulled up Leng Yan’s number.
"Yan, I forgot to tell you earlier that I heard from a friend in a film crew that Ji Wei is back and will be shooting a movie in N City."
(P.S. Ji Wei’s profession: Actress, Identity: Leng Yan’s ex-girlfriend)
