Chapter 228:1 Think It’s Pretty Good

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Li Yu enjoyed a grape and said with a smile, “I think the current arrangement is pretty good.”

Jiang Ling’er looked puzzled. Indeed, just as the old man had said, Li Yu was not here merely for the contract.

Jiang Ling’er replied, “I’ve only recently called off my engagement with Li Yan. This isn’t appropriate!”

Li Yu furrowed his brows, pondered for a moment, and said, “You’re right; it could lead to unwarranted rumors. Well…”

With anticipation, Jiang Ling’er asked, “What’s your suggestion, then?”

Li Yu said earnestly, “flow about making it public that 1 am your fiance? That way, when I come here, nobody will gossip.”

Jiang Ling’er was somewhat at a loss for words, unsure about this unusual suggestion.

She said, “Aren’t you tired of coming here every day? I don’t have much time to spend with you.”

Jiang Ling’er was genuinely baffled; her recent days had been filled with early departures and late returns. She only had a brief meeting with Li Yu in the evenings before he left. She couldn’t comprehend why he persisted in visiting daily.

Li Yu replied, “And you don’t feel guilty about that?”

Li Yu appeared slightly wronged, not used to anyone treating him this way. But he couldn’t help it; he was the one who had fallen for her.

Jiang Ling’er had a puzzled look on her face. Why would she feel guilty? She hadn’t done anything!

Li Yu sighed lightly and said, “If you came home straight from school every day and didn’t go to Chen Group so frequently, we’d have more time together, right?”

Jiang Ling’er retorted, “So, you’re saying this is my fault?”

Jiang Ling’er gave Li Yu a somewhat exasperated look. This guy was something else.

Li Yu said, “What do you think? If I asked you to come to me every day, wouldn’t that be too demanding? That’s why 1 come here instead. Both of us should take the initiative, don’t you think?”

Jiang Ling’er responded in a slightly irritated tone, “Li Yu, don’t be so clingy!”

Li Yu appeared dejected and said, “Can’t you spare me a little time? Or is it because you dislike me so much that you don’t want anyone to know I’m pursuing you?”

Jiang Ling’er was taken aback for a moment and then chuckled, “My grandfather advised me in the morning, saying if you like it, accept it; if not, reject it. Don’t leave things hanging. I feel like my grandfather is pressuring me.”

Li Yu suddenly grew anxious and asked, “What are your thoughts?”

Jiang Ling’er was about to respond when the doorbell rang.

Li Yu was filled with anger. Who could be so inconsiderate at such a crucial moment?

Jiang Ling’er stood up and checked the peephole, seeing Wen Nuan. She quickly opened the door.

Jiang Ling’er asked, “Wen Nuan, what breeze brought you here?”

Wen Nuan said, “The chilly northeast wind. 1 won’t talk too much; I need to discuss something important with you.”

Jiang Ling’er inquired, “What’s so urgent? Can’t it wait until tomorrow?”

Wen Nuan entered the living room, spotted Li Yu on the couch eating fruit, and paused. She then wore a knowing smile.

Wen Nuan said, “I see Mr. Li is here too. Have 1 interrupted your private time? 1 apologize; I have an urgent matter to discuss with Ling’er, and once we’re done, 1’11 leave.”

Li Yu, with a neutral tone, suggested, “Should I go upstairs then?”

Wen Nuan swiftly replied, “No need. It’ll just be a few words, and then I’ll leave.”

Jiang Ling’er was somewhat exasperated, as she felt that Wen Nuan had completely misunderstood the situation.

Jiang Ling’er said, “Well, now that you’re here, have a meal with us. There’s plenty of food at home.”

Li Yu replied,”…”

Jiang Ling’er didn’t want Li Yu to suddenly say something that could be misconstrued, so she added, “I’ll make some snacks for you right now. It’ll only take about ten minutes.”

Wen Nuan smiled upon hearing the offer.

Wen Nuan said, “Thanks for the offer, Ling’er, but I’m currently on a diet.”

Jiang Ling’er nodded and proceeded to the kitchen.

As soon as Jiang Ling’er left the room, Wen Nuan turned to Li Yu with excitement.

Wen Nuan whispered, “Are you two living together now? You just mentioned going upstairs to her room, and she didn’t refuse!”

Li Yu was bewildered. When had he mentioned going to her room? He couldn’t figure out where Wen Nuan got this idea, but the misunderstanding was quite favorable!

Seeing Li Yu remain silent, Wen Nuan furrowed her brows.

Wen Nuan expressed her discontent, saying, “Mr. Li, don’t stay silent. Answer me!”

Li Yu burst into laughter, squinted his eyes, and said, “What do you think?”

Wen Nuan pondered for a moment, then appeared certain.

Wen Nuan said earnestly, “I personally believe that you two should be together. So, have I disrupted your plans by coming here? If I have, 1 apologize; it wasn’t intentional.”

Li Yu looked towards the kitchen, chuckled, and replied, “It’s no problem.. Weren’t you trying to stop me from pursuing Ling’er earlier? Why the sudden change of heart?”
