Chapter 138： Whatever you think

Chapter 138 Whatever you think

Yun Rong paused with a smile on his face, a little embarrassed, and said, "Why don't I treat Miss Li to a meal to apologize?"

“A Rong…”

Leng Ming tugged on her sleeve in private and frowned slightly. She had already apologized. Why would Ah Rong invite her to dinner again?

“No, we’re not familiar with it.”

Li Jiu turned around and left.

“Who is it?”

Leng Ming snorted at Li Jiu's back.

Ah Rong invited her to dinner to give her face, but she was so ungrateful!

“Mingming, didn’t you hit me just now?”

Leng Ming smiled and said, "No, I just stopped in time."

Immediately afterwards, she pursed her lips again and said, "I just didn't expect to bump into that Li Jiu."

Yun Rong raised his eyebrows, "Do you know her?"

Leng Ming is not often in the Imperial Capital, and she usually doesn’t care about the Imperial Capital circle. She didn’t expect that she would actually know about Li Jiu.

"Can I not recognize her? She is the third master's fiancée."

Leng Ming deliberately emphasized the last three words, which made him look particularly sinister.

"Tch! What's the big deal? Isn't it because Mr. Li likes her?"

Leng Ming rolled his eyes.

Yun Rong frowned and whispered: "Mingming, don't say that."

Upon hearing this, Leng Ming immediately raised her voice, "Why can't you say it? Isn't this something everyone in Imperial Capital knows?"

She looked at the direction Li Jiu was leaving with contempt in her eyes, "Why are you pulling, and you actually said I don't have eyes?!"

“Mingming!” Yun Rong interrupted her sharply.

Then he said helplessly: "It's not the Leng family or the Yun family outside, so we can let you do whatever you want. What if Li Jiu pursued you just now?"

Leng Ming disapproved and snorted, "I don't think she can do anything about me. Ah Rong, don't make such a fuss."

“You—ahem!”

Yun Rong's eyes widened slightly. Just as he was about to say something, he coughed.

Leng Ming's face changed slightly, and he immediately stepped forward and patted her on the back, saying: "Okay, okay, I was wrong A Rong, don't get excited."

Yun Rong took a few deep breaths and stopped coughing. Leng Ming helped her downstairs while carefully observing her expression, "Arong, are you okay?"

Yunrong: "It's okay. I've been having this problem for a long time. Just cough a few times and it'll be fine."

"I'm not talking about this, Ah Rong. Aren't you angry that Li Jiu became the third master's fiancée before you?"

Yun Rong paused and her eyes darkened. She turned back to stare at Leng Ming and asked in a serious tone: "Mingming, where did you hear these words?"

Leng Ming lowered his head and felt a little guilty: "It's... I overheard the conversation between aunt and uncle and found out."

“Leng Ming!”

As soon as Leng Ming heard her calling him by his full name, he knew that she was really angry and said quickly: "I'm sorry! Ah Rong, I won't dare next time."

"Mingming." Yun Rong's tone was full of helplessness, "It was my mother's own decision to let me and the third master go on a blind date. In fact, he and I have never even met, how could it be like what you said."

"But...I heard from my aunt that you like the third master very much."

Yun Rong's face stiffened for a moment, but soon returned to its original state. She said, "That was all in the past. Now the third master has a fiancée."

“But the Third Master doesn’t like that Li Jiu at all.” Leng Ming said firmly.

Yun Rong asked: "How do you know?"

Leng Ming hummed, "I have never heard that Third Master said an ambiguous word to Li Jiu in public."

“Only this?”

“Of course not.”

Leng Ming came closer and whispered: "My dad said that the engagement between the third master and Li Jiu was entirely brought about by the two old men. The third master was not asked for his opinion at all."

She winked at Yun Rong, "So, Ah Rong, you still have a chance!"

Yun Rong smiled and said, "Mingming, you can't just take everything at face value."

Leng Ming was confused, "Huh?"

"Although it was indeed two old men who proposed the engagement, who is the third master? If he doesn't want to, can someone force him? I heard that Mrs. Qi arranged many blind dates for the third master before, but he didn't go to any of them. It’s enough to show that he still cares about Li Jiu.”

Yun Rong lowered his head, a moment of loneliness flashed in his eyes.

Leng Ming said: "How can there be any sincerity in the marriage between two big families? I think the third master just fell in love with the Li family, so he acquiesced to this marriage contract."

Yun Rong shook his head and sighed: "That's it, whatever you think."
