Chapter 116 What I’m Most Proud of
Wen Ni put Mimi down and it started walking around the house on its own.
"Who among you has this pet?" Shi Yue thought the little fellow was adorable and bent down to grab a handful of it.
"Little..." Wen Ni stopped talking and added, "Jian Yuchen."
I almost blurted out the word "brother-in-law".
Shi Yue raised an eyebrow, "I really can't tell."
A person like Jian Yuchen has such a cute puppy.
If I were to raise one, I'd probably choose a German Shepherd or something like that.
"Where's Ning Yan?" Jian Yuchen asked with his hands in his pockets.
"He's still sleeping. Go check inside the room." Shi Yue said and went into the kitchen again.
The house was already filled with the aroma of food.
It was inconvenient for Wen Ni to enter Ning Yan's room, so she poked her head into the kitchen, "It smells so good."
"I'll let you taste my cooking tonight. Don't complain if it doesn't taste good." Shi Yue said with a smile.
Wen Ni wondered, "How could that be! But when I was in college, I remember you couldn't cook."
"I've learned this after graduating for so many years. I don't like living with my parents. They are too controlling. If I don't know how to cook, they won't feel at ease. And they really can't stand eating takeout all the time."
"What about you? You still can't do it?"
Wen Ni was stunned, "A little bit."
"Cook instant noodles?"
Wen Ni gestured silently, "Add another egg."
In fact, Wen Ni still had this skill before she got married, but it was completely wasted during the three years she was married to Jian Yuchen.
The kitchen was basically his territory, and if she went in and messed anything up, she would be scolded.
Wen Ni glanced in the direction of the room and found that Jian Yuchen had not come out yet, so she moved closer and asked, "What are you and Ning Yan doing?"
"He had a fight with Hou Jinming because of me. How could I just leave him alone? He is all alone here without any relatives." Shi Yue said naturally.
Wen Ni said, "You haven't left since last night?"
Shi Yue said angrily, "Just say what you want to say. This is so awkward."
Wen Ni pursed her nose. "I just want to ask, are you considering developing a relationship with Ning Yan?"
Shi Yue was silent.
Wen Ni's eyes widened. "Are you really considering it?"
"Let it be, but I don't reject it." Shi Yue also relaxed.
"Then Hou Jinming, are you going back?"
"Why would I go back after resigning? I just don't have many orders on hand. After Jinfeng, Hou Jinming didn't want to take those small orders. He wanted to come back with something bigger than Jinfeng to slap you Lingdu in the face. So I basically slacked off in the company and wasted time. When you suggested to me to come to Lingdu, I was already considering it. You can say that this incident just gave me a more legitimate excuse."
"As for Ning Yan."
Shi Yue lowered her eyes, "I can't say for sure, let's see him."
Wen Ni's eyes lit up. "What do you mean? Is there room for development?"
Shi Yue was helpless, "It doesn't matter what I say, we'll see when the time comes."
I'm almost 30 now. As for the things between men and women, if I can do it, then I can do it. If I can't do it, then I can't do it. I don't have much time to play emotional games with each other.
Besides, everyone is busy.
If I were to ask exactly when things started to change, it would probably be that night.
"Now I am curious about what happened to you that night."
Shi Yue said, "We're out of ginger. I'm going to the market downstairs to buy some. Do you want to join us?"
"Okay."
Wen Ni took her own wallet and followed Shi Yue out. She did not bother Ning Yan and directly sent a message to Jian Yuchen.
When Shi Yue was changing shoes at the door, she saw the smile on your face.
It was not until we left that I told her, "I was drunk that night, but I vaguely remember that he and I got up and had a drink of mineral water together, talking about graduating and working hard to realize our dreams. When I woke up, it was what you saw."
"Is that all? No romantic pink bubbles?" Wen Ni held her hand, with a hint of regret in her words.
Shi Yue was silent for a while. "I can't really explain it, but it's a completely different feeling anyway."
"Maybe the atmosphere that night was too good, maybe the topic of the complaint went straight to my heart, or maybe the starlight was too beautiful..."
"So when I say I'm indifferent, it means nothing at all and it's probably fake."
"You know, I haven't dated another man since Song Bo. This kind of heart-pounding feeling is a bit far away from me."
"I thought this feeling would fade after I came back, but the moment he hit Hou Jinming, my heart told me that maybe I should try another way to start. From changing jobs."
Wen Ni nodded vigorously, "Shi Yue, I completely understand what you want to say. No matter what, as a friend and classmate, I only hope that you will get better and better."
Shi Yue suddenly leaned over and hugged her, "Thank you for your warmth."
"Why thank me? The person you should thank is upstairs." Wen Ni joked, "Anyway, I hope that if you choose Ling Du in the future, we will be the best partners and opponents. I look forward to your good works."
Upstairs, Jian Yuchen pulled back Ning Yan's quilt and said, "You're still fully equipped, so you're asking someone to come over and cook porridge for you?"
Ning Yan arched his back in the quilt for a while before getting up and saying, "Where is she?"
"The kitchen is cooking for you. They don't have ginger right now. Wen Ni and I will go buy some."
Ning Yan glanced outside and made sure that he was not there, then he showed a lost expression.
Naturally, this detail did not escape Jian Yuchen's eyes.
"What do you mean? Are you looking forward to it or are you disappointed? Or do you think she is a nuisance?"
Ning Yan leaned back, "Can you think of something good? I just think it's something that comes naturally to me, and she resigned and took care of me. I feel like I'm being morally kidnapped."
"He took the initiative, how can you say this is moral kidnapping? Moreover, Hou Jinming has ruined the morals of our industry, beating him up is the least of our punishment, do you regret it?"
Ning Yan sneered, "I do regret it. I regret not hitting him a few more times."
"That's it, isn't it? Or do you feel that Shi Yue is a burden to you?"
Ning Yan scratched her head, "Ah... not really, I just felt that it made it difficult for her to do her job. I should have been more careful. Now that she said she was beaten for her, it's not easy for her to find a job."
"You run your own company and you're worried that she won't be able to find a job?" Jian Yuchen thought it was ridiculous.
Ning Yan said unhappily: "That depends on whether the girl comes or not."
"Why don't you ask, kid?"
Ning Yan arched her back in the quilt, "What if she refuses?"
"Ask again." Jian Yuchen said directly.
"This... this is not good. Isn't this embarrassing?"
Jian Yuchen raised his eyebrows, picked up the apple from the bedside table, and said directly: "Just tell me the truth. Did you feel it that night and fall in love with her?"
Ning Yan was about to deny it, but Jian Yuchen spoke first, "If you are lying, Ling Du will be bought by Hou Jinming tomorrow."
"You are too cruel! Well, I feel a little bit, isn't it a bit unfair?"
"What's unfair? Song Bo is all old news." Jian Yuchen stood up and threw the apple to him, looking down at him and said, "That's it. A woman you like is like a business with potential, you can get her in one fell swoop."
Ning Yan muttered, "It's easy for you to say that. You have only liked one person all these years. Did you succeed in catching her?"
Jian Yuchen's eyes were full of unruly expression. "As for me, my greatest pride in this life is that I have only loved her in my life."
"It's enough for me to brag about for the rest of my life."
