Wen Shulin’s eyes slightly reddened. She turned her head away, not wanting Chen Cheng to see the tears in her eyes.
"Who’s ’us’?" she choked out, "I’m certainly not the ’everyone’ you ntioned."
Chen Cheng walked up to her, lifted her chin, and made her look into his eyes.
"Shulin, there’s no need to be stubborn," he said softly, "I know you have in your heart, just as I have you in mine."
Wen Shulin’s tears finally broke free and fell. "You... you bastard!"
Chen Cheng gently wiped away her tears, "I’m a bastard, I’m a bastard," he said with a smile, "So, stop pretending to be strong, okay?"
Wen Shulin could no longer hold it in and threw herself into Chen Cheng’s arms, hugging him tightly and bursting into tears.
Chen Cheng gently patted her back, allowing her to release the long-suppressed emotions.
He knew that Wen Shulin’s strength was just a facade; her heart was actually very fragile.
"Master Cheng..."
Startled and a bit coquettish, this utterance made Wen Shulin spring out of Chen Cheng’s arms like an electric shock.
She half-turned, quickly wiping the tears on her cheeks.
Chen Cheng was also startled, but upon seeing it was ng Wanning, he casually asked with one hand in his pocket, "What’s up?"
"They... they’re calling you to play ball..." ng Wanning also appeared sowhat helpless.
"Alright, I got it."
After responding to ng Wanning, Chen Cheng looked back at Wen Shulin, "Then I’m going inside first."
Wen Shulin still didn’t turn back, "Mm."
Chen Cheng walked toward the gym, and ng Wanning didn’t follow him inside.
She kept watching Wen Shulin’s back until she turned around.
Wen Shulin nodded slightly, then walked towards the parking lot on the side.
Just as she took the first step, ng Wanning called out to her, "Wait a second."
"What is it?"
ng Wanning stepped forward and ticulously scrutinized this elegant sister, finding her beauty different from Xiao ier’s.
"He ntioned you before," she said.
Hearing this address, Wen Shulin finally realized that the ’Master Cheng’ previously ntioned wasn’t referring to "Mr. Chen."
"ntioned ?" Wen Shulin didn’t understand what ng Wanning ant.
Especially that clear gaze, unlike any girl she had co across.
"You are very beautiful, I’m glad to have t you." ng Wanning extended her hand generously, "My na is ng Wanning."
Wen Shulin was stunned for half a second before coming to her senses and also reached out to gently shake her hand, "Wen Shulin."
ng Wanning withdrew her hand, a playful smile on her face, "I know."
She paused, "Actually... you also like him very much, don’t you?"
Wen Shulin’s heart throbbed; she did not expect ng Wanning to be so direct.
She wanted to deny it, but felt there was no need, since her feelings were already so apparent.
"What are you trying to say?"
ng Wanning shrugged, "I don’t really want to say anything, I’m just curious what types of won are around him."
She counted on her fingers, "The ones I rember the most are you and senior sister, both of you are exceptionally beautiful."
Wen Shulin was sowhat taken aback by this sudden complint, furrowing her brows slightly, "Senior sister?"
"Oh, Xiao ier, sister ier, we both learned to drive together."
"Do you really like him?" Wen Shulin countered.
ng Wanning nodded without hesitation, "Yes, very much, very much."
She looked at Wen Shulin, "What about you?"
Wen Shulin avoided ng Wanning’s gaze, uncertain how to answer.
Did she like Chen Cheng?
The answer was yes. But this type of liking wasn’t as pure as that for Xiao ier or ng Wanning; initially, their relationship was fixed, she couldn’t even clearly distinguish her own feelings.
"I..." She opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing.
Proud Wen Shulin found it hard to open up her heart to a girl much younger than herself, even if she truly loved that man, she just couldn’t do it.
"Actually, you don’t need to answer , because your actions towards him have already spoken for your heart," ng Wanning continued. "He told he isn’t a good man, but I think he’s pretty good."
"So, don’t cry anymore." ng Wanning smiled lightly, "Rather than being unclear, you might as well just talk to him honestly about your thoughts, he will understand."
Only then did Wen Shulin realize that the young girl in front of her thought she was jealous, thus the tears while clinging to Chen Cheng.
"Why... why are you telling this?"
ng Wanning spread her hands, "Probably... because I don’t like to see him unhappy."
Wen Shulin’s heart shook; it turns out, ng Wanning wasn’t motivated by possessiveness towards Chen Cheng, but purely wished for his happiness. This transparency and kindness made her even more ashad.
"Is he... happy?" Wen Shulin asked again.
ng Wanning thought for a mont, then answered earnestly, "I think so, he’s quite happy now. He opened a basketball court, his career is prospering, and everyone greatly respects him."
"So, I don’t want him to be unhappy."
Understanding this earnest effort, Wen Shulin nodded, "Alright, I understand."
Only then did she step forward and get into the car.
Hands gripping the steering wheel, she recalled ng Wanning’s recent words and couldn’t help but smile wryly.
anwhile, ng Wanning watched as the Maserati drove away, sighed, and thought she had done a great deed in helping Chen Cheng solve a major problem.
"Ah, Master Cheng handling emotional matters is indeed not as astute as his business dealings."
Inside the gym, Willow Tree Three Tigers were playing ball with three bosses from Financial Street.
Frequent small ball players like Chen Jin and others, naturally lacked skill in big ball gas.
But n never admit defeat; even after just two rounds of offense and defense, already panting heavily, they didn’t spare each other’s pride.
