Wen Nuan couldn’t believe her ears and exclaimed, “What? Just a meal? You and him…”
Just a simple meal? Not even a movie or shopping?
Seeing Wen Nuan’s disbelief, Jiang Ling’er reassured her, “Wen Nuan, don’t overthink it. We don’t have a future together.”
Wen Nuan put down her phone and said, “Ling’er, listen to me for a moment.”
Jiang Ling’er looked puzzled, wondering what Wen Nuan wanted to say. She nodded.
Wen Nuan spoke earnestly, “1 can’t read people very well, but it’s painfully obvious with Li Yu. He’s so into you, even though he might not realize it himself.”
Jiang Ling’er remained silent. She knew that Li Yu had some feelings for her.
Wen Nuan, anxious, asked, “Are you really not willing to give it a try?”
Jiang Ling’er looked at Wen Nuan and said, “1 thought you disliked him.”
Wen Nuan sighed, “That’s my business. Besides, he doesn’t dislike me, and he does like you a lot; I can tell. Do you really not want to consider this?”
Jiang Ling’er replied, “Let’s revisit this later. If it’s as you say, then he won’t give up anytime soon. If he does, it means it was just a momentary impulse and not worth my effort. Let’s not talk about this anymore. How about you?”
Wen Nuan was taken aback. “What about me?”
Jiang Ling’er made two cups of coffee and said, “Your family has already arranged someone for you to marry, right?”
Wen Nuan sighed and took a sip of coffee. “To be honest, yes.”
“How do you feel about it?” Jiang Ling’er asked.
Jiang Ling’er was genuinely surprised as she had only made a guess, but it turned out to be true.
Wen Nuan said thoughtfully, “He looks decent, and he’s highly regarded in the eyes of our elders. But in my brother’s eyes, he’s just trash.”
Jiang Ling’er burst into laughter upon hearing Wen Nuan’s words.
She said, “You’re being quite harsh, but it’s a good thing. It means he won’t dare to bully you anymore, especially with so many brother-in-laws around. But, speaking of which, do you have any good feelings for him?”
Wen Nuan furrowed her brows and thought for a moment before saying, “My first impression of him is pretty good. You know I’m into looks, and he fits my aesthetic preferences perfectly. His personality seems fine too, but we haven’t interacted much, so I can’t say for sure. Ling’er, I’m being sincere here, so don’t make fun of me.”
Jiang Ling’er nodded and said, “Of course, I believe you. So, are you planning to officially start dating after graduation?”
Wen Nuan, upon hearing this, felt rather content with her answer. However, four years is quite a long time, and not everyone can wait that long.
Wen Nuan smiled and said, “That’s the plan. My grandfather is also very satisfied with him. He’s not rushing things, and I visit him when I have some spare time.”
Jiang Ling’er replied, “That sounds good then.”
Wen Nuan couldn’t help but ask, “Ling’er, don’t you have anything you want me to pay attention to?”
Jiang Ling’er took a sip of coffee and said, “Wen Nuan, maybe you’re
over thinking it.”
Wen Nuan rolled her eyes at Jiang Ling’er and urged, “Don’t beat around the bush; just tell me.”
Jiang Ling’er thought for a moment and said, “From what I gather, you have a good impression of him. But how much do you really know about him? 1 hope there’s no complicated first love breakup and lingering feelings. That can be quite heartbreaking. With so much time apart, can you guarantee that he won’t reconcile with his first love? Of course, it’s best if that’s not the case.”
Wen Nuan responded,”…”
Wen Nuan continued, “Ling’er, you’ve always known that I’m pretty simple and don’t put much thought into these things.”
Jiang Ling’er was taken aback and then said, “You haven’t even investigated his background? Your brother and the others must know, or they wouldn’t have let you get close to him.”
Wen Nuan scratched her head and said in frustration, “There probably isn’t any first love baggage. Otherwise, my brother and the others wouldn’t have allowed me to visit him.”
Jiang Ling’er hesitated for a moment and said, “Wen Nuan, I’m not saying that having a first love is a bad thing. Maybe it’s just my concern. I’m worried that if there is, things could get complicated. After all, many girls are attracted to military guys, and we have to admit that, right?”
Wen Nuan fell silent. Many girls indeed have a thing for military guys, and she realized that Jiang Ling’er’s concerns were valid.
Wen Nuan said, “Okay. I’ll ask my brother about it. If he doesn’t know, I’ll have him check it out.”
Jiang Ling’er said, “Hopefully, there’s nothing to worry about.”
Wen Nuan replied nonchalantly, “It’s good to think ahead a bit. Especially since this also concerns my future happiness. Investigating thoroughly is the right thing to do. If the other person genuinely wants to be with me, it’s fine. Four years isn’t that long. But I don’t want to be in a situation where I’m still hopeful for the future while he has already had several other relationships..”
