BXBX NOVEL Chapter 162 - 162: Hidden Too Well
Wen Nuan looked at Jiang Ling’er and said warmly, “It’s hard to tell since you hide them so well.”
Wen Nuan reached out to touch Jiang Ling’er’s chest.
Jiang Ling’er immediately evaded Wen Nuan’s hand and retorted, “You have yours. Touch yours.”
Wen Nuan was astonished by Jiang Ling’er’s agility. “Damn, Ling’er, you’re really agile!”
Wen Nuan’s movements were already swift and unexpected, yet Jiang Ling’er effortlessly dodged them.
Jiang Ling’er grinned and remarked, “Regardless, I’ve had some practice. 1 might not have many real skills, but 1 do know the Flower Stand Style.”
Wen Nuan’s expression darkened. It was evident that Jiang Ling’er possessed genuine talent. Wen Nuan commented, “Ling’er, you have quite a few secrets!”
“You’ll gradually discover them as we spend more time together,” Jiang Ling’er replied with a smile.
Wen Nuan reclined on the sofa, bored, and quipped, “Ling’er, if 1 were a man, I’d definitely marry you. Your figure is absolutely perfect.”
Jiang Ling’er coughed lightly and said, “Alright, that’s enough.”
Wen Nuan didn’t seem inclined to stop and added meaningfully, “This Li Yu is incredibly fortunate.”
Jiang Ling’er’s expression darkened. What did this have to do with Li Yu?
“Alright, I’m going to warm up some milk,” Jiang Ling’er announced. “If you’re bored, you can watch TV.”
Wen Nuan smiled and teased, “Ling’er, you’re not getting any younger. Have you been drinking too much milk?”
Jiang Ling’er was rendered speechless.
She had the urge to smack someone.
Not long after, Jiang Ling’er returned with two cups of hot milk.
Placing a cup in front of Wen Nuan, Jiang Ling’er suggested, “Drink up. Hot milk can help you sleep.”
Wen Nuan picked up the cup and took a sip. “Ling’er, what’s your impression of Gu Yinian today?”
Jiang Ling’er sipped her own milk and replied, “This is the first time I’ve seen him. I can’t say much, but my uncle has a very high opinion of Gu Yinian.”
Wen Nuan snorted dismissively and remarked, “Why do I feel like this person doesn’t have any social skills? Otherwise, how could he be framed?”
“Do you know something?” Jiang Ling’er inquired.
Wen Nuan remained silent for a moment before sighing and saying, “I just overheard some casual gossip. 1 don’t know the specifics, but it’s said that he offended someone from the capital.”
Jiang Ling’er smiled and stated, “I see. We shouldn’t concern ourselves with others’ affairs. After all, it’s not the first time someone has misunderstood me. Bai Xue has slandered me so much; 1’11 have to settle the score sooner or later.”
Wen Nuan smiled and glanced at the cat beside Jiang Ling’er. She commented, “Ling’er, your cat is quite fierce. It won’t let me touch it, and it won’t let me sit close to you.”
Jiang Ling’er looked at the cat, which was currently grooming itself, and explained, “It’s very well-behaved. It simply dislikes others touching it and is quite protective.”
When the cat heard Jiang Ling’er mentioning it, it promptly meowed a few times.
Wen Nuan felt helpless. The cat had been grooming itself moments ago, but now it suddenly meowed excitedly. Wen Nuan quipped, “It’s a male, isn’t it? Look at its lascivious behavior. It’s even arching its back shamelessly.”
“I don’t think so,” Jiang Ling’er replied.
Jiang Ling’er was a little speechless. Although it was a male cat, how was it behaving lasciviously?
Wen Nuan glanced at the cat and said, “It’s pretty obvious, you know? Look at how comfortable it is, not wanting to leave, just arching its back right on your lap, shamelessly.”
Jiang Ling’er was speechless.
Wen Nuan observed the cat for a while before suddenly smiling. She remarked, “I really want to see if Li Yu will compete with the cat for your attention.”
Jiang Ling’er’s face darkened. What was all this nonsense? She said, “Nuannuan, didn’t you already think that Li Yu couldn’t measure up?”
Wen Nuan took another sip of her milk and grinned. “Li Yu can be annoying at times, but when you two are together, you really make a great couple!”
Jiang Ling’er fell silent for a while before sighing and asking, “Nuannuan, if I believed that you and the young master of the Fang family were also a perfect match, would you choose to be with him?”
Wen Nuan was taken aback.
After pondering for a moment, Wen Nuan responded, “Ling’er, if you truly believe that he’s worthy of me entrusting my life to, then I’d marry him.”
Jiang Ling’er was stunned by Wen Nuan’s reply. She quickly collected her thoughts and said, “I’ll help you assess him another day.”
Wen Nuan suddenly turned serious and said, “Ling’er.”
Jiang Ling’er looked at Wen Nuan in confusion and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Wen Nuan spoke self-deprecatingly, “My grandpa is quite determined. He wants me to marry him. I really hate it..”
