Chapter 249: Spending Christmas Together
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jiang Ling’er was speechless when she saw how happy Li Yu was.
She said, “What’s there to be happy about? According to your plan, I’ll go to school, and you’ll go to the company. After school, you’ll come to pick me up, and then we’ll celebrate Christmas together.”
Li Yu looked displeased with Jiang Ling’er.
Confused, Jiang Ling’er asked, “What’s wrong?”
She had already agreed to spend Christmas together, so why was he still unhappy? This man was so difficult to please!
“If Wen Nuan didn’t fall ill, were you planning to go to school?” Li Yu asked.
Jiang Ling’er smiled and said, “Couldn’t you just say you want me to spend the whole day with you?”
Li Yu cautiously asked, “Are you willing?”
Jiang Ling’er replied, “I am.”
Li Yu immediately smiled with satisfaction, saying, “That’s good.”
The two of them went to the hospital with gifts and flowers, but because Mrs. Wen said that Wen Nuan was still asleep, they didn’t get to see her. They handed the gifts and flowers to Mrs. Wen and left the hospital.
Inside the car, Li Yu asked, “Where do you want to go? Shall 1 accompany you shopping?”
Jiang Ling’er glanced at the time and said, “Let’s go home. It’s chilly outside, and 1 don’t want to be out.”
Li Yu said, “Going home will be boring. It’s Christmas today; the pedestrian street will be lively.”
Jiang Ling’er knew Li Yu didn’t like shopping, and she didn’t want to go either.
Smiling, Jiang Ling’er said, “As long as we’re together, anywhere is not boring. Let’s go home.”
Li Yu teased, “Are you sweet-talking me? Want a kiss when we get home?”
Blushing, Jiang Ling’er exclaimed, “Li Yu!”
Li Yu chuckled, “Yes, Darling?”
Jiang Ling’er helplessly said, “Focus on driving.”
After lunch, they sat on the couch watching variety shows. The butler prepared fruits for them and left.
Sitting beside her, Li Yu hesitated for a moment.
Li Yu said, “Ling’er, don’t you think Mrs. Wen seemed strange just now? It’s like she was hiding something.”
Jiang Ling’er was stunned for a moment. She stroked the cat and remained silent for a while before saying, “If I’m not mistaken, Wen Nuan wasn’t really asleep. Mrs. Wen didn’t want us to meet.”
“Why?” Li Yu was puzzled. “Is she afraid we would disturb Wen Nuan’s rest if we stayed longer? That’s not possible; we know our limits.”
Jiang Ling’er smiled and said, “Honestly, the elders of the Wen family don’t like me at all. The moment Mrs. Wen saw me, she took an instant dislike to me. To keep Wen Nuan away from me, they even considered transferring her to another school. The Wen couple hopes that Wen Nuan stays away from me.”
Li Yu furrowed his brows. It seemed the people from the Wen family didn’t have good judgment.
Jiang Ling’er sighed, “Don’t frown. It’s hard to please everyone. Wen Nuan and I are friends, not friends with everyone in the Wen family.”
“I’m not afraid that you’ll feel wronged,” Li Yu said with a smile.
Jiang Ling’er, with a touch of pride, said, “As long as 1 don’t want to, no one can make me feel wronged.”
Li Yu affectionately stroked Jiang Ling’er’s hair.
The cat suddenly jumped onto the windowsill, enjoying the sunlight.
Observing the cat, Li Yu asked curiously, “Ling’er, how did you raise this cat? Even after all this time I’ve been here, it still avoids me. Is it because I’m a man?”
Jiang Ling’er also didn’t know how the original owner had interacted with the cat. Ever since she arrived, the cat had been very attached to her.
She said, “I’m not sure either. It seems it doesn’t like girls either. Every time Nuannuan wants to touch it, it won’t let her. Moreover, it won’t let Nuannuan sit in my seat.”
Li Yu observed the cat, which had closed its eyes. “I’ve noticed it doesn’t seem to like anyone except you.”
Jiang Ling’er nodded, “That’s true, it’s very attached to me. But when it first came, 1 didn’t take care of it much; it was the butler and his wife who took care of it. However, it still didn’t get close to them.”
When the cat first arrived, the original owner was busy chasing Li Yan every day and didn’t have time for it. Only after Jiang Ling’er arrived did she have time to take care of it, spending some time with it at night.
Li Yu rolled his eyes at the cat and said, “Even when it was little, you didn’t take care of it, yet it’s this close to you. Indeed, what a lecherous cat.”
Jiang Ling’er was speechless. “It’s just a little cold. If it was a pervert, it would have gone to look for a female cat long ago. Why would it stay at home?”
Li Yu still seemed displeased as he glanced at the cat, saying, “Hmph… you keep pampering it. Why would a eunuch cat go looking for a female cat!”
Jiang Ling’er’s face darkened. She finally understood why the cat always avoided Li Yu. He would casually glare at the cat; and knowing it was neutered, called it a eunuch.. How could the cat possibly like Li Yu?
