CHAPTER 253: CHAPTER 252: SHE IS AN ACTRESS

He had been angry just now, but even so, he still wanted to hear her voice. Yet, for a long time, she remained silent. As they drove into the city, he finally couldn’t help but stop the car.

Wen Nuan then slowly opened her eyes, looked at him, and felt a throbbing pain at the corner of her eyes.

She turned her head away, gently tilting it up, refusing to cry. Even if tears welled up, she didn’t want them to fall.

After just a few seconds, her shoulders were turned around by him.

"What are you doing?" Wen Nuan spoke irritably.

Leng Yan’s gentle gaze that had just gathered was scattered instantly. He took a deep breath, restraining himself from shouting: "Why did you hang up on me?"

Actually, that was the trigger point for his anger. Then, seeing Tan Qing touch her, the anger he had suppressed finally burst out.

But when facing her directly, his heart still softened, which is why he felt so distressed that he couldn’t drive.

He wanted to clarify things and didn’t want any barriers between them.

"I didn’t hang up on you. The phone ran out of battery." Wen Nuan explained softly, not wanting to look at his face.

Sighing inwardly, her bag was still in Tan Qing’s car, and the phone was inside. Otherwise, she might have taken it out to let him ’verify’.

"You could have called me, wasn’t Tan Qing in the car too?" Leng Yan frowned slightly.

He knew she was in Tan Qing’s car, so he wasn’t overly concerned about her safety. But what if she wasn’t? It was pouring rain, and after she answered with a ’hello’, there was no news. He couldn’t imagine how anxious he would be.

He would worry about her.

Wen Nuan spoke calmly: "His was also out of battery."

"What a coincidence?"

Leng Yan seemed somewhat unconvinced, squinting his eyes slightly.

"Do you think I would lie to you?" A surge of anger was burning in her chest. Wen Nuan looked into his eyes and huffed coldly: "Yes, such a coincidence. But that’s how it is. If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do. Just like when I saw you coming out of Ji Wei’s room, wasn’t it a coincidence that I saw it? At first, I was angry, but later I didn’t pursue it and believed your words, didn’t I?"

In the past two days, she hadn’t mentioned that incident once more. She believed he wasn’t lying to her. She even empathized, thinking that if it were her, she would also be too startled to sleep and have terrifying nightmares.

Therefore, she didn’t dwell on what she saw, trusting that Leng Yan loved her. She just wanted him to better handle the relationship between the three of them. She didn’t want to see Ji Wei harbor any inappropriate thoughts toward Leng Yan again.

"But this is different."

Leng Yan interrupted her, his gaze locking onto her: "Nuannuan, Tan Qing likes you."

Leng Ye liked her, Tan Qing too. He felt a severe sense of crisis.

"So, I shouldn’t help him? He had a fever, but his driver couldn’t go pick him up."

"He might have purposely prevented you from calling, saying his phone was dead." Leng Yan admitted that he was being petty this time, and his voice even sounded weak.

But he was truly afraid. One was Leng Ye, and the other was Tan Qing. Each was outstanding, especially Tan Qing, who was his strong rival.

"He’s not that boring!"

Wen Nuan was really angry, tossing a plain remark at him.

She gritted her teeth and mentioned Ji Wei’s name again: "He and Ji Wei are not the same kind of person. He wouldn’t sabotage my happiness with you. And Ji Wei, well, she schemed to ruin our relationship! She even wanted you to perform CPR on her right in front of me."

Bringing up this matter once more, Wen Nuan wanted to bite her tongue off.

Yet, every time she thought about it, her heart couldn’t calm down.

"What can I say for you to believe Ji Wei?"

Leng Yan’s hand dropped helplessly from the steering wheel: "She really can’t swim. I’ve been too busy these days to find her. This morning I wanted to talk to her. She swore Tong Xi must have been mistaken. Just mentioning swimming makes her pale with fear..."

"She’s an actress. She can turn pale for a performance anytime! If she can’t even do that, how can she call herself an actress?"

Wen Nuan retorted, her heart sinking coldly.
