"A high price?"
Wen Zhi seized on the key phrase and looked at her suspiciously: "You were prepared all along?"
Realizing she had misspoke, Li Rao's expression changed, and she hurriedly explained, "After all, this medicine is very precious and not something that ordinary people can get their hands on. Even if you contact a friend, it will cost a high price!"
Just as Wen Zhi said, she had indeed prepared the medicine long ago.
I wanted to teach Li Ruo a lesson when we last met, but unfortunately I never had the right opportunity.
However, this cannot be told to Wen Zhi. Although this woman is stupid, there is still some room for her to be exploited.
"I see!"
Wen Zhi nodded, accepting her statement, but soon, looking at the two very well-matched figures not far away, she became worried again, "But Li Ruo keeps pestering my brother, how should we make a move?"
Li Rao had already thought it through: "It all depends on you, Zhizhi. Isn't President Wen the one who dotes on you the most? I think you should be able to lure him away, right?"
"this……"
Wen Zhi hesitated. If she had been more confident before, Wen Huaiyan would have listened to her. But after what happened yesterday, she felt that she could no longer see through what her brother was thinking.
"Surely it can't be a problem, right?"
Li Rao could naturally see her hesitation, and feigned surprise, saying, "Could it be that President Wen has really been completely bewitched by Li Ruo and no longer listens to you?"
“Of course not!” Wen Zhi shook her head and immediately retorted.
She is the most beloved little princess of the Wen family, how could she possibly be compared to a woman with a wicked heart?
"You wait!"
Leaving behind a message, she strode towards the secluded corner that no one dared approach.
At this moment, Li Ruo was bracing herself for the numerous gazes from behind as she fed Wen Huaiyan cake.
Speaking of which, although she still hasn't figured out the man's preferences during the time they've spent together, she's certain that he doesn't like sweets.
Has he really gone mad today?
Just as she was silently complaining, Wen Huaiyan seemed to notice her thoughts and suddenly looked over: "Is there anything you want to say to me?"
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo paused in her grip on the spoon, and forced a dry laugh, "What do you mean by this, Mr. Wen?"
"you……"
Seeing that she was still pretending to be stupid, Wen Huaiyan frowned, but before he could speak, Wen Zhi rushed over: "Brother, I've been looking for you for so long. So you're here."
Seeing Wen Huaiyan's gaze shift, Li Ruo breathed a sigh of relief. She had never thought Wen Zhi's voice was so pleasant.
"The banquet is about to begin, what are you still doing here?"
Wen Zhi glanced at Li Ruo without leaving a trace, then smiled sweetly: "That's why I came to find you, brother. Will you come up on stage with me at the banquet this year?"
She was very good at acting cute, and as she spoke, she had already wrapped her arms around Wen Huaiyan's arm and gently shook it.
Seeing her charming appearance, even Wen Huaiyan couldn't help but soften his expression: "Isn't Grandpa with you?"
Grandpa Wen's regard for Wen Zhi has reached an unimaginable level; he personally attends and hosts her birthday banquet every year.
Speaking of which, today is quite strange; the old man hasn't shown up yet.
Wen Zhi quickly answered his question: "Grandpa hasn't been feeling well lately, so he might be a little late today. Will you stay with me?"
Are you feeling unwell?
Wen Huaiyan raised an eyebrow, recalling yesterday's phone call, and chuckled as he looked at Wen Zhi: "Fine, just this once!"
"I knew my brother was the best to me!"
Wen Zhi gave a small cheer, then looked at Li Ruo provocatively, as if showing off.
However, this trick was too childish, and Li Ruo didn't take it seriously at all.
She remembered that she didn't have much contact with this young lady from the Wen family, so why was the other party making things difficult for her?
But this is good too. Wen Huaiyan is simply a natural spotlight. Wherever he is, he will inevitably attract a lot of attention.
She had no interest in being stared at by so many people!
"Then you wait for me here."
Hearing the man's instructions, Li Ruo quickly nodded and adopted an obedient posture.
Only after watching the two leave did she finally breathe a sigh of relief and prepare to continue enjoying her time alone.
But as it turned out, she couldn't get what she wanted!
Staring at the woman walking straight towards her, Li Ruo frowned in annoyance. Before the woman could speak, she said coldly, "Why are you here again?"
The disdain conveyed in that short sentence was self-evident.
Li Rao's face immediately darkened: "Li Ruo, what kind of attitude is this?"
Can't you tell what my attitude is?
In front of her, Li Ruo didn't even bother to pretend anymore: "Please stay away from me, I don't want to see you."
"you!"
Li Rao glared at him, about to explode, but remembering her purpose, she could only patiently say, "I didn't come here to argue with you. We're sisters, after all. You don't have to treat me like this every time you see me, do you?"
"sisters?"
Chewing on the word, Li Ruo seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. "This is really incredible. You actually treat me like a sister. I am truly flattered."
