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