Wen Nuan smiled and said, “Mr. Li? You’ll accompany her? That’s great! You should remind Ling’er not to push herself too hard.”

Jiang Ling’er looked at Li Yu with a puzzled expression and asked, “Do you really have the time? Tomorrow is a Monday, don’t you need to go to the office?”

Li Yu chuckled and replied, “I do have the time, especially when I’m with you. Unless there’s a major issue at the company, 1 don’t need to be there.”

Jiang Ling’er was speechless.

After a moment of contemplation, she said, “In that case, tomorrow, you can be my bodyguard for a day. Come with me, but remember to keep a low profile. If someone recognizes your identity, it’ll be trouble for both of us.”

Li Yu affectionately agreed, “Alright, I’ll follow your lead.”

Jiang Ling’er’s mouth twitched in disbelief, “You really agreed? Young Master Li, from the prominent Li family, acting as my bodyguard? It seems like a bit of an overkill.”

Li Yu smiled and said, “Anything related to you is important to me.”

Jiang Ling’er fell speechless.

She suddenly felt like she had dug herself into a hole.

Wen Nuan commented, “You two have great chemistry.”

Both Jiang Ling’er and Li Yu responded simultaneously, “Where did you see that?”

Wen Nuan’s aunt chuckled and said, “I can just sense your mutual understanding.”

Li Yu smiled without commenting.

Jiang Ling’er was quite exasperated. She cleared her throat and said, “Wen Nuan, I think there are some things I need to explain to you.”

Wen Nuan waved her hand and said, “Ling’er, there’s no need for explanations.

I understand what you guys are up to. You can do whatever you need to do, no need to entertain me.”

Jiang Ling’er was speechless.

This was a disaster. What exactly had Wen Nuan misunderstood?

Jiang Ling’er was still puzzled when Wen Nuan’s phone rang.

Seeing that it was Wen Mo calling, Wen Nuan answered it.

Wen Nuan said, “Hmm? Brother, you’re going home now? I’m still at Ling’er’s place, haven’t had dinner yet! What? It’s fine if 1 don’t join for dinner, right? I promise to attend Uncle’s party tomorrow!”

Wen Mo must have said something, and Wen Nuan replied a little reluctantly, “Alright, I’ll head back now.”

After hanging up, Wen Nuan looked disappointedly at Jiang Ling’er.

Wen Nuan said, “Ling’er, I can’t stay for dinner. My father suddenly decided to have a family gathering, and my brother is here to pick me up.”

Jiang Ling’er nodded and asked, “Oh, is your brother here already?”

Wen Nuan walked to the door and replied, “He’s about to arrive.”

Jiang Ling’er opened the shoe cabinet and said, “I’ll walk you out.”

Wen Nuan quickly stopped her, “Ling’er, you don’t have to come out. It’s quite cold outside. Stay at home with Mr. Li. You don’t get to spend much time together, so don’t waste it.”

Jiang Ling’er looked somewhat helpless.

Wen Nuan put on her shoes, said her goodbyes to Jiang Ling’er, and left.

After Wen Nuan left, Jiang Ling’er turned to Li Yu with a serious expression and said, “What did you two talk about earlier? It seems like Wen Nuan has gotten the wrong idea.”

Li Yu smiled but didn’t say anything.

Jiang Ling’er, somewhat annoyed, picked up a sweet pastry and stuffed it into Li Yu’s mouth.

Jiang Ling’er scolded him, “Why are you laughing? What did you say that made Wen Nuan misunderstand so much?”

The sweet pastry melted in Li Yu’s mouth, and he realized that it wasn’t as bad as he thought.

Jiang Ling ‘er was surprised to see Li Yu eat it.

Jiang Ling’er was surprised to see that he actually ate it. She questioned, “You…

1 thought you didn’t like sweet pastries.”

Li Yu smiled and replied, “When you feed me, I like them.”

It’s not that he couldn’t eat them, just that he didn’t like them very much.

Jiang Ling’er immediately felt that she had been outsmarted by Li Yu.

Jiang Ling’er scolded him, “Don’t be so talkative. Just answer the question.”

Li Yu innocently said, “I’m not sure. Wen Nuan seems to have misunderstood from somewhere. She thinks we’re already living together.”

Jiang Ling’er was speechless and extremely frustrated. How could the misunderstanding have gone this far?

Li Yu said seriously, “Wen Nuan also told me not to go too far and mentioned your age, saying that you can’t get married yet. If you have a child out of wedlock, it would harm your reputation. I asked her if she had said something like that to you, and she said she was afraid of getting beaten by you, so she told me, ‘Under no circumstances go too far.’”

Jiang Ling’er’s veins were popping out of her forehead. She scolded, “Why didn’t you explain it to her? Now she definitely thinks… That’s why she said she understood everything. Oh my goodness!”

Li Yu asked innocently, “With your understanding of that girl, do you think she would believe me if I explained? I would only make things worse by trying to explain.”

Jiang Ling’er was speechless. It was true; there was no way Wen Nuan would believe an explanation. It would only lead to more misunderstandings, and in the end, she might even make things worse and tell everyone that the two of them were living together..
