CHAPTER 312: CHAPTER 312: OVERFLOWING WITH LOVE

Leng Linglong excitedly ran to find Ye Ningwan, wanting to go shopping with her.

Ye Ningwan was surprised to see her: "When did you return to Jiangcheng?"

"I’ve been in Jiangcheng all along; I haven’t left since coming back last time."

"Then why didn’t I see you at Leng Ziqing’s wedding last time? You didn’t even attend the wedding; I thought you weren’t in Jiangcheng."

"Because I didn’t want to go. My brother didn’t even want to marry Zhang Meimei; it was all Auntie’s pressure. A wedding like that, I wouldn’t attend; it just made me uncomfortable to watch." Leng Linglong was filled with righteous indignation.

"You’re really bold. You didn’t attend the wedding, wasn’t your aunt mad?" Ye Ningwan asked.

Leng Linglong pouted: "Of course she was mad, almost furious, and scolded me harshly. But scolding me was pointless. I just didn’t go; could she have forced me to go?"

"So willful, but the Leng family also indulges you, so they didn’t force you to go." Ye Ningwan said.

Leng Linglong pouted again: "Indulge what? It’s just because I’m insignificant. Also, I have a bad relationship with Zhang Meimei, especially awful; my aunt was worried we’d argue if we met. Not going was just right."

"Forget it, let’s not talk about these things. The two of us should go shopping! I haven’t roamed around Jiangcheng in ages; let’s go out for a stroll." Leng Linglong suggested again.

Ye Ningwan refused: "Forget it, I’m not really interested. You go by yourself."

"Oh come on, don’t be such a homebody; go out more. It’s so nice outside, with the sun shining and birds singing; don’t you get bored staying at home? Wangyue isn’t here, but if he were, he’d be all over the place. Now there are seasonal delicacies everywhere, even if you don’t love eating, you should at least have a taste."

"I really don’t want to go. I’ve got things to do, just not in the mood for shopping. Shopping with you might spoil your mood." Ye Ningwan said.

Leng Linglong insisted: "I’m not afraid, come on, come on, just walk around with me."

"Alright, alright, I agree, I really can’t say no to you." Ye Ningwan, unable to resist, shook her head with a sigh.

Leng Linglong was overjoyed, pulling her by the hand out the door.

Zhan Hanjue initially wanted to send a driver and bodyguard for them, but Leng Linglong refused: "This is Jiangcheng, what could possibly happen in broad daylight? No need for bodyguards, having someone follow us is uncomfortable, so just don’t follow us."

"Alright, we won’t follow you, but take good care of Wanwan." Zhan Hanjue urged.

"Got it, I’ll take good care of her." Leng Linglong replied impatiently.

Ye Ningwan was both amused and exasperated.

Between her and Leng Linglong, it should obviously be her taking care of Leng Linglong, not the other way around.

"I never thought you, Hanjue, would turn into such a nagger. Lucky I didn’t keep liking you," Leng Linglong quietly complained to Ye Ningwan.

Ye Ningwan thought of her pestering Bai Wenjing and asked: "How are things between you and Bai Wenjing?"

"How could they be, we’re sweetly in love." Leng Linglong’s face was full of blissful shyness.

"Have you taken him home?"

"I have, but my aunt isn’t very satisfied with him; she says he’s too old, not good enough for me. What does she know, as long as two people truly love each other, there’s no such thing as good enough or not. I feel he’s good enough for me, her opinion doesn’t matter to me, as long as I’m happy." Leng Linglong said firmly.

Ye Ningwan didn’t expect her to be such a determined person.

She gave her a thumbs-up and praised: "Yes, you have a great mindset. Stick to what you believe in; don’t be swayed by others easily."

"Of course." Leng Linglong said proudly.

Just then, Bai Wenjing called, asking where she was.

"I’m out shopping, what’s up?"

"I just got to Jiangcheng. Tell me your address, I’ll come find you." Bai Wenjing said.

Bai Wenjing had been away for a while, and Leng Linglong didn’t know what he’d been up to.

Now he suddenly said he was back, Leng Linglong was overjoyed.

"You’re really back? Great, I’ll text you the address, come find me right away."

Ye Ningwan felt quite awkward on the side.

"Bai Wenjing is back? Since he’s back, I should go! I’ll give you two some alone time."

"Why are you leaving, his return doesn’t affect our shopping. Perfect timing for him to pick up the tab, let him treat us to a meal." Leng Linglong said.

Zhan Hanjue had given her this task; she couldn’t be half-hearted about it.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t think she was great next time.

"But with you two together, what will it look like with me tagging along?" Ye Ningwan said.

Leng Linglong said: "Don’t worry, you know Bai Wenjing, he’s no trouble."

"You really are quite happy with him." Ye Ningwan teased with a smile.

Leng Linglong blushed and said shyly: "Before I met him, I always imagined what kind of guy I wanted to find. Someone capable, handsome, someone others would envy. There were so many conditions, and Hanjue was the most fitting because he’s outstanding, and if we were together, everyone would definitely envy us. But after meeting Bai Wenjing, I realized those conditions didn’t matter. I just like him, and any version of him, I love, regardless of others’ envy. In fact, I wish others didn’t know him, only I like him, and he only likes me."

"With you being so adorable, of course he’ll only like you." Ye Ningwan said.

Soon, Bai Wenjing arrived and was surprised to see Ye Ningwan there too.

Ye Ningwan noticed his reaction and joked: "See, I said I should leave. Whoops, accidentally became the third wheel."

"Bai Wenjing, do you mind Ye Ningwan being a third wheel?" Leng Linglong asked with bright eyes.

In fact, seeing Bai Wenjing, she almost wanted to jump on him.

But, considering Ye Ningwan was there, she held back.

Although Bai Wenjing was in his thirties, he was especially worried about appearing old-fashioned since dating Leng Linglong.

So now, his clothes and style were trendy and youthful.

At the moment, he looked stylishly elegant, having swapped out his glasses for a suave appearance.

Initially, he was surprised to see Ye Ningwan.

But then, he smiled and gently patted Leng Linglong’s head: "Of course not, I’m very happy to serve two ladies today, ready to carry bags and pay anytime."

"Ha ha, you’re so nice." Leng Linglong didn’t hold back her praise.

Bai Wenjing’s eyes were warm and loving as he looked at her.

Even with Bai Wenjing saying so, Ye Ningwan couldn’t leave, so she continued shopping with Leng Linglong for a while.

They bought a few things and had lunch.

After lunch, Ye Ningwan suggested it was time to go.

Being someone’s third wheel, she couldn’t continue hanging around cluelessly.

"Alright then, you go ahead, I’ll find you another time." Leng Linglong said.

Bai Wenjing said: "I better escort Miss Ye back! Just as well, I have some things to discuss with Miss Ye."
