"How about it?"
"Did you try to be nice to someone who didn't reciprocate your feelings again?"
Leng Shan's voice came from the bed, sounding somewhat buzzing because of the blanket.
Ling Yu stood by the window in his pajamas, a sudden, inexplicable emotion striking his heart, leaving him with an indescribable sense of loss and melancholy.
Perhaps, there's also a little bit of regret mixed in?
The usually carefree Leng Shan actually noticed his emotions, so she mocked him while saying sarcastically, "What do you mean by not saying anything? If you're worried about her, you can go to the Yan family to find her, but from now on, don't say another word to me!"
As she spoke, she got out of bed and walked out without even putting on her clothes.
Ling Yu realized what was happening and immediately chased after her, hugging her tightly. She held her slender, soft body, which exuded a warm fragrance, and whispered "I'm sorry" in her ear. She then explained, "I didn't mean to go find Yan Can. I was just wondering why she suddenly became so resolute."
Cold-blooded, ruthless, and leaving no room for compromise.
Although "cold" and "aloof" are Yan Can's inherent characteristics, even when she was occasionally angry in the past, she would never be as cold and unapproachable as she is now, as if she had become a different person.
Leng Shan slightly curled her lips, but then said angrily, "Then why did you call her so early in the morning? You woke me up."
After returning from the hike, she went straight home with Ling Yu and has been staying at the Ling family's house for the past two days.
They've been close since childhood. She's always known that she'll marry Ling Yu when she grows up, and both sets of parents have mentioned the arranged marriage many times. Not long ago, her parents even said that they'd get engaged after they finished their exams.
Ling Yu carried her back to bed, stared at her petite but aggrieved face, and said helplessly, "Didn't you say that I should wake you up earlier, otherwise Mom and Dad would find out that you slept in my room last night?"
These are words that Leng Shan once said.
But she said nonchalantly, "So what if they found out? It's not like it's the first time I've slept with them!"
Ling Yu pinched her cheek. "But didn't you say you wanted to leave a good impression on Mom and Dad, and didn't want them to think you were frivolous and lacked self-respect?"
Leng Shan's face darkened instantly, and she shoved Ling Yu away.
"What's wrong?"
Ling Yu looked at her with a somewhat blank expression.
Leng Shan got out of bed again, pointed to her body which was only covered by underwear, and said angrily, "So that's how you see me!"
Ling Yu protested her innocence, "Little ancestor, don't put all sorts of accusations on me. These are clearly your exact words. I didn't say that to belittle you, but because I didn't want you to regret your decision after you calmed down. Then you would blame me for not urging you to go back to your room."
After her explanation, Leng Shan's anger subsided somewhat, but her expression remained unpleasant.
She took a few steps and picked up the dress from the carpet.
"You're right, I shouldn't stay here. I'll go back to my room now."
Her words were clearly tinged with a sense of spite.
Ling Yu knew she was still angry, so before she reached the door, he picked her up again. Leng Shan's lips curled into a smile, and a sweet expression appeared on her face, but she struggled a few times and pounded on Ling Yu's chest.
What are you doing?
"Put me down, I want to go back to my room."
"I never want to sleep in the same room with you again!"
Ling Yu, who always doted on her, ignored her and put her back on the bed. He pulled the blanket over her, gently flicked her nose, and said affectionately, "That won't do. I don't want to be alone in an empty room."
After saying that, he coaxed Leng Shan a few more times, "Take a nap first, I'll go out and take a look."
Leng Shan covered half her face under the blanket, only her smiling eyes blinking as she asked him, "What if Auntie asks me about it?"
Ling Yu said, "I'll go to your room first and pretend you're still sleeping so no one else can disturb you."
Leng Shan nodded.
Ling Yu's parents are both going out today. Once they leave, the servants won't dare disobey Ling Yu's orders, and no one will know that she slept with Ling Yu last night.
Half an hour later, Ling Yu returned to her room.
He carried a breakfast to the table, and after Leng Shan washed up, he fed her breakfast.
"Are you full?"
"Um!"
"But I'm not full yet, it's my turn to eat now."
...
On the other side.
After breakfast, Yan Can and her brother arrived at the university town.
Walking into the office building and seeing the offices under renovation, Yan Can was somewhat surprised. "Brother, the rent here must be very expensive, right?"
Yan Yu nodded, "It's not cheap."
He gave a number.
Yan Can was slightly surprised, "So many?"
He hadn't mentioned moving the company to his family beforehand, so his parents didn't know, and he certainly hadn't taken any money from them.
Seeing her surprised and suspicious expression, Yan Yu chuckled and ruffled her hair. "Look at you, so naive. Is that all? You don't really know your brother."
Yan Can slapped his hand away, "Then where did you get the money for the costs?"
Yan Yu chuckled, "Why can't your brother be so capable and charming that angel investors are eager to give me money?"
Yan Can: "Really?"
Seeing Yan Can's serious expression, Yan Yu said helplessly, "I'm not lying, there really is an angel investor, my college classmate, who is also one of my partners. Anyway, don't worry, I would never copy someone else's homework."
Throughout his life, he has always given the impression of being mature, steady, and reliable.
Only his younger sister would question how he made his money.
"Would you like to see my office?"
"I've left you a secret space."
Yan Yu led Yan Can on a tour, and finally they arrived at two huge offices that corresponded to each other.
"Is this the office of an angel investor?" Yan Can asked.
The interior design is minimalist yet luxurious, but upon entering, it also evokes a sense of weight and depth.
Yan Yu said yes.
Before Yan Can could take a proper look around, he urged her to go into his office.
The tall floor-to-ceiling windows offer a panoramic view of half the city. The clear river flows through the city like a giant ribbon, and across the river lies the university town, where Yan Can's affiliated high school is located.
"The tables, chairs, and sofas have all been custom-made. I even had this lounge specially made. If you get tired in class, just give me a call, and I'll come pick you up from school. Then you can sleep in here."
Although it sounds fantastical.
His sister never sleeps in!
Yan Can wanted to roll her eyes. "Brother, are you encouraging me to skip class?"
Yan Yu pinched her cheek mischievously and chuckled, "Using 'instigation' is a bit too much! Skipping class isn't a heinous crime, and a school life without skipping class is incomplete."
Yan Can: "Then let it remain incomplete, anyway I won't stick it out."
At that moment, Yan Can had no idea that she would soon contradict herself.
