Jiang Ling’er sighed and replied, “You’ve seen it yourself. How is it a secret? Besides, what’s the point of explaining? There’s nothing to explain.”
Wen Nuan playfully teased, “Don’t try to hide it anymore. By the way, where are we going to eat later?”
Jiang Ling’er shook her head, saying, “I haven’t thought about it yet. What are your plans for today?”
Wen Nuan replied, “I didn’t make any plans. I want to catch up with you after seeing you with Li Yu yesterday. I’m so curious.”
Jiang Ling’er was at a loss. “We just met up yesterday. Is there a need to be so curious?”
Wen Nuan said seriously, “Yes, you have to use it. You know, your engagement with Li Yan hasn’t been canceled yet, and then you’re hanging out with Li Yan’s uncle. It’s so exciting!”
Jiang Ling’er looked depressed. What was going on? Jiang Ling’er said, “Have you been watching some ethics drama recently?”
Wen Nuan chuckled and said, “I just thought you and Li Yu looked quite compatible. In any case, it’s pleasing to the eye. I even have a photo. Want to see?”
Wen Nuan took out her phone and showed Jiang Ling’er a picture of her and Li Yu.
Jiang Ling’er:”…”
Seeing the photo of herself and Li Yu, she couldn’t help but feel a bit awkward. Had they really appeared so close? Why didn’t she feel it?
Wen Nuan continued in a playful and suggestive tone, “So, which stage are you at now?”
Jiang Ling’er was speechless and chose to ignore the comment.
Wen Nuan frowned and said, “Did you hear me?”
Jiang Ling’er looked at Wen Nuan and asked seriously, “What are you thinking? If 1 say that you’re thinking too much, do you believe me?”
Wen Nuan looked around and whispered, “Even if you don’t feel anything for him, Li Yu definitely feels something for you. It’s obvious.”
Jiang Ling’er:”…”
Jiang Ling’er didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Could Wen Nuan stop being so sensitive?
Wen Nuan smiled and said, “To be honest, I’m looking forward to it.”
Jiang Ling’er rolled her eyes at Wen Nuan and replied, “As expected, explaining is futile.”
Wen Nuan pouted and said, “What’s wrong with looking forward to it? This is my first time being a matchmaker!”
Jiang Ling’er was rendered speechless. She wanted to say something but ultimately chose to remain silent.
Wen Nuan thought for a moment and said seriously, “Ling’er, if you don’t like Li Yu, can I ask my brother to chase you and make Li Yu step back?”
Jiang Ling’er almost choked on her water upon hearing this suggestion. She couldn’t understand why Wen Nuan would come up with such a bad idea.
Wen Nuan patted Jiang Ling’er’s back and said warmly, “You don’t have to react so strongly. I’m just kidding. But seriously, which option would you choose? To be my sister-in-law or Li Yan’s aunt?”
Jiang Ling’er replied, “Nuannuan, don’t talk nonsense. I’m participating in the national competition in five days. Don’t distract me.”
Wen Nuan said, “I’m just trying to help you share the burden.”
Jiang Ling’er couldn’t help but shake her head and sigh. Sharing the burden? More like creating more trouble.
Wen Nuan said, “Don’t give me that look. 1 feel guilty now. I’m doing this for your sake, you know?”
Jiang Ling’er said helplessly, “Nuannuan, don’t think too much, all right?”
Wen Nuan smiled awkwardly.
After the morning classes ended, Jiang Ling’er and Wen Nuan left the school together. As they exited, Old Wang and Little Six spotted them.
Old Wang watched Jiang Ling’er leave and remarked, “Jiang Ling’er is such a minx. 1 can’t help but feel disgusted when I look at her. Little Six, do you think Jiang Ling’er is a hypocrit?”
Little Six responded bluntly, “Are you out of your mind?”
Old Wang furrowed his brow and asked, “Why have you been so sarcastic with me recently?”
Since high school, Old Wang and Little Six had been close friends who frequently teased and mocked each other. However, recently, it seemed like Little Six had developed a habit of mocking Old Wang for no apparent reason.
Little Six responded disdainfully, “That’s just me being light on you. Do you even have a sense of self-awareness?”
Old Wang frowned and retorted, “Little Six, what’s gotten into you lately? You keep attacking me for no reason.”
Little Six sneered, “Well, you seem to be pretty keen on Bai Xue. What do you think of her?”
Old Wang immediately retorted, “I’m warning you, don’t say anything nasty about Little Xue.”
Little Six gave Old Wang a sideways glance and taunted, “Are you really into her? It’s so obvious. In any case, you shouldn’t be slandering others for Bai Xue’s sake”
Old Wang immediately said unhappily, “When did I slander her? Jiang Ling’er is a scheming b*tch. Her results are clearly very good, but she pretended to be a bad student for so long.”
Little Six said sarcastically, “Bai Xue’s academic performance is abysmal, yet she pretends to be a top student all the time..”
