CHAPTER 213: CHAPTER 213: I DON’T LIKE HIM ANYMORE

Ye Ningwan stood up in shock, hearing Leng Linglong’s voice, and hurriedly walked out.

However, she was stopped by Housekeeper Li.

"Miss Ye, where are you going?"

"I’m going out for a walk."

"Miss Ye, I’m sorry, our family may not be a large household, but there are many precious herbs in this courtyard. Our family is in this business, so sometimes we have to be cautious and cannot let you wander around in the courtyard freely." Housekeeper Li blocked her.

Ye Ningwan scoffed, "What a joke, we in the Holy Doctor Sect have everything, do you think I’d take a fancy to the little things in your courtyard? I’m just going for a walk, and you’re stopping me like this, could there be something fishy?"

"Miss Ye, you’re joking. What could be fishy about it?" Housekeeper Li laughed awkwardly.

"Then let me out." Ye Ningwan stood up and forcefully tried to walk out.

Housekeeper Li didn’t expect her to act so unreasonably. Even after saying he would stop her, she still wanted to go out.

"Miss Ye, you’re a guest, you shouldn’t do this."

Unable to stop her, Housekeeper Li had to call two people over to stop her together.

Ye Ningwan signaled to Wangyue with her eyes.

Wangyue understood, put down what he was holding, and forcibly pulled the people blocking them apart with one hand each.

Ye Ningwan ignored Housekeeper Li, who was red with anxiety, and quickly walked out.

Following the voice, she quickly found Leng Linglong.

Leng Linglong was wearing a white dress, with her hair neatly combed, and her clothes clean and tidy. Her small face was fair with a touch of He City’s unique highland redness, big eyes, and full cheeks, looking even more youthful and plump than in Jiangcheng, clearly indicating she had been eating well recently.

She looked nothing like a hostage, but more like she had been invited as a guest.

"Ye Ningwan? How come you’re here?" Leng Linglong was surprised.

The servants in the courtyard were also stopping Leng Linglong, but they couldn’t stop her either, which is why they met.

Housekeeper Li chased out, urgently saying to Ye Ningwan, "Miss Ye, you can’t just run around. You’re here as a guest and should have some sense of being a guest."

"I’m not here as a guest; I’m here to find her. I’m taking her with me," Ye Ningwan said, pointing at Leng Linglong.

Housekeeper Li and Leng Linglong simultaneously asked, "Why?"

Ye Ningwan looked at Leng Linglong in surprise, "You don’t want to leave?"

"Why should I leave? I’m doing well here. Housekeeper Li, quickly call Bai Wenjing and have him come back to see me."

Housekeeper Li looked troubled, "Miss Leng, our young master is very busy and can’t stay home with you every day. Please wait until he gets off work."

"No, if you don’t call him and make him come back, I’ll get angry." Leng Linglong said, hands on her hips.

Housekeeper Li looked conflicted.

But he seemed afraid of Leng Linglong’s anger and had to appease her, "Okay, okay, don’t get angry. I’ll call the young master right away."

Not only was she angry, but Ye Ningwan was also here, wanting to take Miss Leng away.

All these matters had to be reported to the young master.

As Housekeeper Li went to make a call, Leng Linglong finally brightened up and asked Ye Ningwan again, "Why are you here?"

Ye Ningwan looked at her confusedly.

What kind of kidnapped hostage looked like this?

Not only wasn’t she mistreated, she had been well-fed.

Moreover, Housekeeper Li’s attitude towards her wasn’t like that of a hostage.

His apologetic and indulging manner seemed more suitable to coaxing his own young lady.

"First tell me, how have you been during this time? Have you been bullied?" Ye Ningwan asked.

Actually, she didn’t need an answer; she could see it herself.

She had gained a few pounds, how could she have been bullied?

Sure enough, Leng Linglong said proudly, "I’m Leng Linglong, how could I be bullied? I’m doing fine, no need for you to worry."

"But you don’t know how worried we were after you were kidnapped. The Leng Family is very worried about you, and so are Jiangcheng and Zhan Hanjue," Ye Ningwan said.

Leng Linglong snorted, "I don’t need your concern, none of you really care about me."

"If I didn’t care, would I travel all the way here from Jiangcheng? Anyway, I’m just glad you’re okay, whether you appreciate it or not," Ye Ningwan said.

Leng Linglong bit her lip, wanting to say something but unable to.

Wangyue said, "Actually, you know in your heart that Miss Ye cares about you, right? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have gone to the Zhan Family to find Miss Ye that day."

"Who are you to speak?" Leng Linglong stomped angrily.

Ye Ningwan was also baffled by Leng Linglong’s attitude, and Wangyue’s reminder brought back the memory.

So she smiled and asked, "Why did you come to find me? Was it to argue with me?"

"Of course not, I’m not so idle as to go to your house to argue with you. Whatever, it’s nothing, I’m doing well now. You can go back and tell my aunt I’m fine here and don’t plan on returning for the time being. As for when I’ll go back, I’ll decide later. Also, you can let Zhan Hanjue know I don’t like him anymore. I’m Leng Linglong, I’ve liked him for so many years, and he doesn’t like me. Hmph, if he doesn’t like me, I won’t like him either, and I won’t in the future."

Ye Ningwan smiled, "Alright, I’ll let him know."

"Also, tell him I don’t find him impressive anymore, he’s just ordinary. Only you would like him, no one else would," Leng Linglong added.

Ye Ningwan smiled and nodded, "Yes, yes, only I would be blind enough to like him. You’re such a clever girl, of course you wouldn’t like him."

Leng Linglong smiled happily.

After these things were talked out, she felt a sense of relief.

"Let me show you around; this place is fun. Although it’s remote, there’s scenery you can’t see in Jiangcheng."

"Is there a lot of good food too? Miss Ye says there’s mutton here, and it’s very delicious," Wangyue said eagerly.

Leng Linglong said, "Of course, there’s roast mutton, mutton soup, mutton skewers, all very delicious. I’ve gained weight since I got here."

"I can see that," Ye Ningwan said.

Leng Linglong hurriedly touched her face, "Really gained a lot? What should I do, does it look bad?"

"No, it looks better,"

"Then I’ll take you out," Leng Linglong said.

She naturally took Ye Ningwan’s hand and started walking out.

However, just as they reached the door, they didn’t expect Bai Wenjing to return.

He seemed very hurried, not even having time to put on his jacket, which was draped over his arm.

Seeing Ye Ningwan and Leng Linglong holding hands and about to leave, he immediately questioned, "Miss Ye, are you taking her away?"

"You’re finally back." Leng Linglong released Ye Ningwan’s hand and said haughtily.

Bai Wenjing grabbed Leng Linglong’s wrist and pulled her behind him, as if to protect her, saying to Ye Ningwan, "Miss Ye, you can’t take her away."

"Why?" Ye Ningwan asked.
