The three of them went upstairs. After washing up and changing into her pajamas, Lin Wanwan seemed to have woken up a lot more from her drowsiness.
Zheng Yan and Bai Ying exchanged a glance, then sat down on her bedside and cautiously asked, "Did you and Lu Feng have a fight?"
"Stop gossiping, or I'll bite you."
Bai Ying walked over and pulled her aside, saying, "Your face looked off this morning. What happened? Did you have a fight last night?"
Zheng Yan, who is married with two children and older than them, thought for a moment and asked, "Did he overhear our conversation last night?"
“Last night? We didn’t say anything last night,” Bai Ying said after thinking for a moment.
"Do you mind if I say he's a divorced man and not good enough for you?"
Lin Wanwan sat up in bed and leaned against the headboard, saying, "I don't know. I noticed he seemed off last night, and when we got back to the room I tried to coax him, but he didn't say anything."
Lin Wanwan lowered her head and played with the lace on the quilt.
Zheng Yan continued, "Are you jealous? Yesterday in the car, you and Mu Lin were chatting so happily, was he unhappy?"
Lin Wanwan thought for a moment and said, "The reason doesn't seem to be very important. What's important is that he doesn't trust me and is unwilling to communicate with me."
Hearing her say that, Zheng Yan shut up. Lin Wanwan was seven years younger than her, but she was intelligent and emotionally intelligent, so she didn't seem to need to worry about her.
Zheng Yan sighed and said, "Sigh, I don't feel any sense of accomplishment at all. I originally wanted to come and persuade you and comfort you."
"Thank you all, but I'm not as carefree as I say I am."
Lin Wanwan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Before Lu Feng and I got married, we agreed that although we were getting married with the intention of spending our lives together, we also made it very clear that if Lu Feng wanted to leave one day, I would be willing to give her freedom."
Zheng Yan was genuinely amused by her, "Then why are you two getting married? What are you doing together? You're telling me something so important, aren't you afraid I'll go back to school and spread rumors about you?"
Lin Wanwan sneered, "Hmph, then you'll have no choice but to drop out of school. I'll call your mother-in-law and have her come and drag you back."
"How dare you!!!" Zheng Yan was so angry that she tickled her.
Lin Wanwan dodged and said, "Be careful, I might try to scam you. I'll just faint right now."
The group played around for a while, and none of them noticed that someone was standing outside the door.
When Lu Feng went downstairs, he ran into Cheng Jinyan, who was going to the restroom. The two nodded to each other as a greeting.
When Cheng Jinyan walked up to her, he stopped and asked, "Did you two have a fight?"
Lu Feng didn't say anything, but his expression became even more unpleasant.
Cheng Jinyan chuckled and said, "Then you'd better be careful, there are quite a few people who like her."
Lu Feng clenched his fists, which were hanging at his sides, and glared at Cheng Jinyan.
"There's something going on between you two, and I'm sure everyone here today can see it."
Cheng Jinyan turned to face him directly and said, "Or do you want to step down now? You might as well make a decision sooner rather than later."
After saying that, she didn't even look at him and went straight to the toilet.
Lu Feng stared intently at his retreating figure, unable to recover for a long time.
Lin Wanwan was fully awake and went straight to the study after getting dressed.
"You two don't need to follow me. Go and have fun on your own. I'm going to the study to practice calligraphy and calm my mind."
Bai Ying looked at her eyebrows and then at Zheng Yan, asking Zheng Yan with her eyes, "What should we do?"
Zheng Yan gave her a "calm down" look and asked Lin Wanwan, "Do you want to stay by yourself?"
"Yeah, it's really nothing. I'm pregnant, so you guys go ahead and have fun. I'm going to practice my calligraphy."
"If you need anything, just call me and Bai Ying. We're going to have some fun and won't bother you."
Lin Wanwan nodded to indicate that she was perfectly fine and went to the study.
He pushed open the study door and paused for a moment, "Brother Yan, Brother Bei, what are you doing here?"
Gu Bei asked her with a smile, "Weren't you sleeping? Why are you in the study?"
Lin Wanwan shrugged. "Isn't it all Zheng Yan and Bai Ying's fault? They kept bothering me until I couldn't sleep anymore. I just wanted to come and practice my calligraphy. You two want to talk about something?"
Cheng Jinyan laughed and said, "No, we were just chatting, and we were talking about you." He patted the person next to him and gestured for her to come and sit down.
Lin Wanwan was stunned for a moment, feeling that the action was a bit intimate, and shook her head to shake off those unreliable thoughts.
He sat down next to Cheng Jinyan before asking, "What did you want to talk about me about?"
Gu Bei looked at her and said, "I investigated the couple I met at the mall before, and I actually found something fishy. I was just discussing with Brother Cheng what to do. I was going to ask Lu Feng, but he's been in military training like you lately, so he probably won't have time."
"Could they really be trying to harm me again?"
Gu Bei nodded. "This is an unpleasant topic to hear. Don't worry about it. I'll handle it."
Lin Wanwan smiled and said, "Thank you, brother. I'm going to practice my calligraphy now."
Gu Bei smiled and nodded, glancing at the person next to him. This person had no idea he was being looked at, and his eyes followed Lin Wanwan.
Gu Bei lowered his eyes and said casually, "Why aren't you and Lu Feng so clingy today? You used to be so lovey-dovey, it was sickening to watch."
Lin Wanwan paused for a second, then said nonchalantly, "Lu Feng has just gotten tired of the old and the new. You're my brother, why don't you go and teach him a lesson? Why are you asking me?"
Gu Bei lowered his head and smiled, "I'm not going to interfere in your lovey-dovey affairs. I'll deal with him for you, and then you'll make up with him again. Then you'll both come to blame me."
"Hahahaha, I'm not that kind of person."
Gu Bei watched her write with her head down before turning back to continue chatting with Cheng Jinyan about his own affairs.
Cheng Jinyan also looked away and continued chatting with Gu Bei.
Lin Wanwan practiced calligraphy for three long periods before her wrists started to ache.
She put down her pen and stretched her wrists and neck, then heard Gu Bei ask her, "Finished writing?"
"Hmm, I'm tired, I'm not writing anymore."
Gu Bei stood up to look at her handwriting. "What did you write? Let me see."
"What can a literary young woman like me write? Just copy poems."
Gu Bei peeked in, then chuckled, "When did you change your identity again? Become a bohemian artsy young woman?"
Cheng Jinyan also peeked over and said, "This is written in a rather messy way. Li Qingzhao, Nalan Rongruo?"
"You noticed that? You're a bohemian young man?"
Cheng Jinyan lowered his head and smiled, "Thank you for the compliment, but I don't deserve it."
I looked up at her and asked, "Do you have time now? Shall I teach you French?"
Lin Wanwan's eyes lit up for a moment and then dimmed again. "That's fine, I didn't bring any books."
Cheng Jinyan raised an eyebrow. "Should I write it down for you? Should I teach you the French alphabet and everyday conversation first?"
"Okay, okay, okay," Lin Wanwan nodded frantically.
Without wasting any words, Cheng Jinyan took a pen and paper, sat down next to her, and began teaching her French.
Gu Bei realized he had no chance to speak, so he went out for a smoke. Could it be that Cheng Jinyan was using all his schemes on his sister?
The study door was left open; Lin Wanwan had left it open because she felt it was stuffy when she came in.
As soon as Gu Bei stepped out, he saw Lu Feng standing in the corridor, staring intently at the study door.
