Jiang Lingling’s fervor in her eyes made it clear to Wan Chu’er and Jiang Xiaoxiao.
Jiang Xiaoxiao felt rather speechless about it and tugged at Jiang Lingling, "Lingling!"
Unfortunately, Jiang Lingling remained unmoved, still smiling at Xiao Bai.
Wan Chu’er raised an eyebrow and introduced, "This is my cousin Bai Qiyan, and this is Jiang Kechu’s cousin Jiang Lingling."
"Oh, cousin of my little sister-in-law, then I won’t stand on ceremony. Hi, Brother Yan, you can call me Lingling, no need to be too formal."
Hearing her say that, Wan Chu’er couldn’t help but turn away; it was too painful to watch.
It was the first time someone called Xiao Bai ’Brother Yan’, quite an interesting nickname.
Xiao Bai, when facing women, especially the infatuated kind, always had experience—after all, he used to run a nightclub and had seen all sorts of beauties.
He curled the corners of his mouth and casually praised, "Ah, Lingling, that’s a nice name, really nice."
Jiang Lingling was so pleased that she couldn’t wait to excitedly invite him, "Brother Yan, why don’t you come and hang out with us?"
As soon as she spoke, she thought it was the best idea ever.
"Brother Yan, come with us," Jiang Lingling shook her upper body as if she was coquettishly pleading, "The gathering is really fun with lots of activities, you’re sure to find something you like."
Xiao Bai glanced at Wan Chu’er, then his smile rippled like a crafty fox, "Sure, since Jiang has invited me, I’ll follow along and see it for myself. Please wait a moment, I’ll go and change my clothes."
He even winked at Jiang Lingling after saying that.
This time, Jiang Xiaoxiao saw it clearly and felt a twitch at the corner of her mouth.
No wonder Jiang Lingling was so head over heels for Xiao Bai; it probably had a lot to do with Xiao Bai being such an expert at flirting.
Wan Chu’er’s eyes widened; what the hell was Xiao Bai up to? Since when did he fancy someone like Jiang Lingling?
But Xiao Bai didn’t even give her a chance to ask, quickly heading into the house.
Not until Xiao Bai’s figure disappeared behind the door did Jiang Lingling reluctantly withdraw her gaze. She turned to hug Wan Chu’er’s arm, but Wan Chu’er subtly moved aside, causing Jiang Lingling to miss grabbing on, though she didn’t seem to care about that at all.
"My little sister-in-law, I didn’t expect your cousin to be such a hunk, utterly charming. I must come over to hang out with you more often from now on."
Everyone present understood; coming over to hang out was just an excuse, her real purpose was Xiao Bai.
Wan Chu’er’s mind raced, wondering if using Xiao Bai as a honey trap could lure Jiang Lingling away from Lin Jiayi’s side, cutting off one of Lin Jiayi’s ’claws’.
Mainly because brainless Jiang Lingling, when it came to fighting and making a scene, was quite formidable.
However, this thought was but a fleeting one; Wan Chu’er just found Jiang Lingling’s colorful outfit too glaring to the eyes and decided not to torture Xiao Bai like that.
After a while, Xiao Bai came out in casual attire, followed by Li Shan.
Xiao Bai said with a grin, "We’re all going out to have fun, it would be boring to leave Li Shan alone at home, let him come and enjoy himself with us."
Wan Chu’er blinked; if Li Shan went out, wouldn’t that leave Master alone at home?
Seeming to notice her concern, Xiao Bai glanced at Yan Hui’s villa next door, indicating that with Yan Hui and company around, Master wouldn’t be lonely.
Only to hear Jiang Lingling cheerfully say, "Great, great, Brother Yan, let’s go."
Initially, Jiang Xiaoxiao and Jiang Lingling drove out in one car, but now with three additional people, they switched to Xiao Bai’s newly bought car, which was just right for five people.
Li Shan drove, and Xiao Bai took the passenger seat.
All along the way, Jiang Lingling just chirped nonstop, totally unabashed as she thoroughly gabbed Xiao Bai’s ear off.
It’s unclear what Xiao Bai was thinking, but he cooperated with Jiang Lingling, chatting and laughing with her.
But in a little while, Wan Chu’er figured out what today’s gathering was all about.
It turned out to be some rich second generation’s birthday. They invited everyone to have fun at a vacation villa in the suburbs, calling a bunch of people, including Jiang Lingling’s cousin Lin Jiayi.
Then Lin Jiayi called Jiang Xiaoxiao and Jiang Lingling to join the fun and asked them to invite Wan Chu’er along to get acquainted.
Wan Chu’er pondered in her heart that Lin Jiayi’s purpose for having her come today was probably not just to get acquainted.
Suddenly, Jiang Xiaoxiao leaned into Wan Chu’er’s ear and whispered, "I didn’t expect Xiao Bai to have this side to him."
He was like a live version of a playboy.
Originally, Jiang Lingling was very interested in Xiao Bai, and then Xiao Bai actually flirted back cheerfully, so all that could be heard in the car was Jiang Lingling’s constant giggling.
Upon arrival, it was apparent that Jiang Lingling had been completely won over by Xiao Bai.
The scenery of this vacation village was very nice, with mountains and water.
Walking a distance inside, we could hear the cheerful laughter of men and women. A few more steps and we saw a villa surrounded by people.
There was a swimming pool there, but since it was late autumn, no one was swimming.
Some were barbecuing, with a full array of beautiful food, fruits, pastries, drinks, and alcohol.
Nearby, there was a beach volleyball court with two men and two women playing volleyball, with some onlookers standing by.
The rest were either chatting in groups of three or two, surrounding a card game, or laughing and playing around; anyway, the scene was lively.
As they approached, nobody paid much attention; probably not everyone here was very familiar with each other.
A woman in a pale pink long dress, smiling, walked over.
"Xiaoxiao, Lingling, over here," she said, her voice alluring and gentle.
Gentleness and allure are usually two different things, but Lin Jiayi somehow managed to blend them so well that her popularity was excellent, beloved by both men and women.
Wan Chu’er narrowed her eyes and unconsciously clenched one hand into a fist.
Jiang Lingling and Jiang Xiaoxiao went up to greet Lin Jiayi.
Xiao Bai took the opportunity to get close to Wan Chu’er and asked in a low voice, "So, do you know this woman?"
Wan Chu’er let out a breath lightly and slowly nodded, her face showing a faint smile.
This wasn’t the place for detailed inquiries, so Xiao Bai cautioned her with a word: "This woman doesn’t look simple, be careful."
Heh, it really takes someone as shrewd as Xiao Bai to recognize at a glance that Lin Jiayi is not simple.
Now she was no longer the Wan Chu’er who was easily provoked, and with Xiao Bai and Li Shan by her side, this time she would not fall for Lin Jiayi’s tricks.
After a couple of jokes with her two cousins, Lin Jiayi shifted her gaze and attention towards Wan Chu’er.
"So this is the big cousin’s girlfriend then?"
Jiang Lingling laughed: "Yes, she is the little cousin-in-law. I’ve done my duty and brought the little cousin-in-law here."
Lin Jiayi walked over slowly, her walking posture also very gentle, endearing her to others, but unfortunately, ’others’ didn’t include the current Wan Chu’er.
