CHAPTER 216: CHAPTER 216: DO YOU LIKE HER?

The car drove halfway when they saw a landslide blocking the road, and Ningwan and the others got out of the car.

Mr. Bai said with a face of regret, "I really didn’t expect that we would encounter a landslide, under such conditions there’s no way we can pass."

"Can’t we call someone to clear it?" Ningwan asked.

Mr. Bai said, "There was heavy rain last night, and the situation is unstable now. If there’s another landslide, it would be very dangerous. At least we need to wait until the weather clears up to start clearing it. Besides, there are usually not many people passing through here, so they wouldn’t risk it just for a few of us."

"Are there any other routes?" Ningwan asked.

Mr. Bai shook his head, "No other routes, just this one."

"Then we can stay at the villa for a few more days. Anyway, the villa is quite fun." Leng Linglong said.

Wangyue nodded, "Yeah, yeah, leaving a few days later won’t hurt."

Ningwan frowned.

Mr. Bai said, "Miss Ye, maybe you should stay here for another two days and leave later."

"I want to leave, but if it’s not a sandstorm preventing me, it’s a landslide. Is there a curse on me?" Ningwan grumbled with a laugh.

Mr. Bai was awkward, "I also didn’t expect that things some people might not encounter in ten years, Miss Ye has encountered them all."

"Since we can’t leave, let’s go back!" Ningwan finally relented.

Wangyue and Leng Linglong were naturally very happy, and Mr. Bai also breathed a sigh of relief.

Ningwan gave him a deep glance but quickly looked away.

Quickly enough for Mr. Bai to notice, but he thought he was seeing things.

They returned to the villa again, and Ningwan said she wasn’t feeling well, so she went back to her room to sleep.

Everyone knew she wasn’t happy because she couldn’t leave, so they didn’t bother her.

The three of them stayed at the villa for another two days.

On the third day, even before Ningwan could get anxious, Wangyue couldn’t help but urge Mr. Bai, "Has the landslide been cleared? It’s been three days already and still not clean?"

"Wangyue, what’s the hurry? This isn’t our place; there’s no need to rush." Ningwan said.

"Miss Ye, you’re really calm. Weren’t you eager to leave before?" Wangyue said.

Ningwan glanced at Mr. Bai and chuckled lightly, "I was in a hurry before, but now I’m not. After all, Mr. Bai’s family business isn’t in a hurry, so why should we be?"

"Yeah, Bai Wenjing, didn’t you always say your work keeps you busy until late every day? How come you’re not in a hurry to go back after hanging out with us for three days? You wouldn’t be up to something, with ulterior motives, right!" Leng Linglong suddenly pointed at him accusingly.

Mr. Bai already felt guilty, and with her accusation, he felt even more so.

He hurriedly defended himself, "What are you talking about, I don’t quite understand. What ulterior motives, what schemes, what could I be planning?"

"You know your own thoughts best. Somehow, I feel you’re not normal, Bai Wenjing, could it be that you like Ningwan?" Leng Linglong questioned again.

She’s had this suspicion not just for a day or two.

Since Ningwan arrived, he’s been acting proactively, eating, drinking, and playing along.

He wasn’t so attentive to her before, always trying to avoid her.

Thinking that the person she liked might like Ningwan again, she was almost furious.

"Impossible."

"Impossible."

Ningwan and Mr. Bai almost spoke in unison.

The two of them looked speechlessly at Leng Linglong, not knowing where she got such an idea.

Mr. Bai hurriedly said, "Miss Leng, don’t talk nonsense. I only have the camaraderie of fellow students with Miss Ye, nothing else."

"Really? Then why are you so nice to her?" Leng Linglong asked.

Mr. Bai almost jumped up, asking anxiously, "When was I so nice to her?"

"So it turns out that Mr. Bai isn’t being nice to me, but rather with ulterior motives." Ningwan joked with a smile.

Mr. Bai: "..."

As the saying goes, it’s better to offend a villain than to offend a woman.

Unfortunately, now he has three women around him.

With two women targeting him, he feels worse than death.

"Ulterior motives? What ulterior motives do you have with Miss Ye?" Wangyue immediately asked vigilantly.

Well, all three women are targeting him now.

Mr. Bai said helplessly, "I don’t have any ulterior motives. Miss Ye was just joking."

Wangyue quickly asked, "Miss Ye, is it true? Were you really joking?"

Ningwan nodded with a smile, "Yes, just a joke. Mr. Bai, don’t take it too seriously. Since we can’t leave, we should enjoy life here. By the way, I liked the fishing spot last time. Wangyue, accompany me for a walk."

Wangyue nodded, as she also wanted to go for a stroll.

Mr. Bai relaxed only after watching them leave.

He looked up and saw Leng Linglong’s sharp gaze fixed on him.

Mr. Bai was startled, his ears slightly turning red, and said awkwardly, "Why are you looking at me like that? I swear, I really have no other intentions with Ningwan, not at all."

"Heh, you’d better not, or I’ll be unkind to you." Leng Linglong threatened.

Mr. Bai was taken aback, and asked with deep eyes, "Even if I liked her, why would you be unkind to me?"

Leng Linglong proudly lifted her chin and said, "Because... because she already has Zhan Hanjue, how can you like someone else’s wife? That’s very unethical, so of course, I’d be unkind to you."

Mr. Bai smiled, nodded, and said, "Hmm, you’re right, I won’t like someone else’s wife, I won’t be that unethical. So, I only like... young girls, don’t worry."

Leng Linglong’s heart skipped a beat, and she immediately retorted shyly, "Why should I care, I don’t understand what you’re saying."

After saying this, she shyly turned and ran away.

Mr. Bai watched her back, smiling, placed his hand over his heart.

His heart was beating fiercely.

In thirty years, it was the first time it beat like this, and it was for a young girl.

He couldn’t help but blush and quickly turned back to his room.

Leng Linglong felt shy in the room for a while, and then suddenly felt bored, so she called Wangyue, planning to find her.

However, after calling for a while, she couldn’t get through.

She quickly went to find Mr. Bai.

"Mr. Bai, I can’t reach Wangyue’s phone, and I can’t get through to Ningwan’s either. They went into the mountains; could something have happened?"

Mr. Bai was shocked, immediately turned back to Ningwan’s room to check her luggage.

Finding that her luggage was still there, he finally relaxed.

"It should be because there’s no signal in the mountains. Don’t worry, I’ll take you to find them," Mr. Bai said.

Leng Linglong nodded.

The two walked together, naturally stopping to chat along the way.

By the time they entered the mountains, two hours had passed.

However, after looking around the previous fishing spot, they couldn’t find anyone.

Leng Linglong worriedly said, "Could they have fallen into the water?"

Mr. Bai shook his head.

His brows furrowed tightly.

He wasn’t worried about Ningwan falling into the water, but worried about something else.

He immediately took out his phone to make a call, "Check at the airport to see if Ningwan has booked any tickets."
