Jiang Ling’er smiled and said, “Just took them out of the oven. Be careful not to burn yourself.”

Wen Nuan picked up a piece, took a careful bite, and her eyes lit up.

Wen Nuan said, “These are really delicious, sweet but not too cloying. The flavor is authentic.”

Jiang Ling’er smiled and picked up another piece from another plate, handing it to Li Yu.

Li Yu wasn’t a fan of sweets, but since this was given to him by the girl he liked, he couldn’t refuse. He took the snack and had a bite, only to discover that it was savory. A smile appeared on his face as he realized that she remembered he didn’t like sweets.

Wen Nuan also took a savory snack from another plate.

Wen Nuan said, “Huh? Although this one is savory, it’s even better than the sweet ones.”

She ate a few more pieces and added, “Ling’er, how did you make such savory snacks?”

Jiang Ling’er didn’t put much thought into it and simply said, “Well, Mr. Li doesn’t like sweet snacks, so 1 made these savory ones especially for him.”

Wen Nuan teased, “Wow, you’re so biased! 1 like spicy food. Why didn’t you make something spicy for me?”

Jiang Ling’er was left speechless and realized that her previous statement had led to a misunderstanding. Was it worth explaining now? She decided not to say more to avoid making things more complicated.

Jiang Ling’er asked, “Nuan Nuan, why did you come over?”

Wen Nuan took a sip of her coffee and replied, “1 saw a piece of jewelry that you endorse and fell in love with it.”

Jiang Ling’er picked up another snack and asked, “So, you’re asking me to use my connections to get you a discount?”

Wen Nuan shook her head and explained, “Not a discount. 1 called to place an order, but they said it’s sold out. I was quite surprised because 1 thought they were joking. They told me that the piece I liked had only thirteen in stock and was sold out on the same day.”

Jiang Ling’er hadn’t expected them to sell out so quickly.

Jiang Ling’er explained, “There were originally six designs, all of them limited editions. Chen Group’s jewelry has a great reputation, which is why they sell out quickly.”

Wen Nuan, sipping her coffee, said, “Indeed, Chen Group has a great reputation, but it’s selling out quickly mainly because it looks good on you, which is why they are flying off the shelves.”

After a moment of contemplation, Wen Nuan continued, “In the past, Chen Group sold various jewelry items, but I wasn’t interested in any of them. However, this time, I found one that 1 really like, and it’s already sold out. Ling’er, could you help me think of a solution? It’s rare that I like a piece of jewelry.”

Jiang Ling’er felt quite helpless, thinking for a while before responding, “Alright, just now, Qiu Yang also called and expressed interest in a piece. Tomorrow, I’ll ask around, but the chances might be slim.”

Wen Nuan was momentarily surprised and asked, “Qiu Yang? The one who came to school to say goodbye to you? You still keep in touch? What’s going on between you two?”

Jiang Ling’er nodded and, with a puzzled expression, said, “Yes, why? Is there a problem?”

Wen Nuan glanced at Li Yu subconsciously and said, “No, it’s just for my sake. Anyway, I hope you can help. Better to leave no stone unturned.”

Jiang Ling’er nodded in understanding.

At this point, Li Yu chimed in, saying, “Chen Group must be making a fortune this time. 1 bet even the CEO of Chen Group didn’t expect them to sell out so quickly.”

Wen Nuan agreed, saying, “You’re right; the CEO of Chen Group must be regretting setting the price so low. Ling’er, your grace and charm have played a significant role in this. Each piece of jewelry allows the wearer to exhibit a different temperament.”

Jiang Ling’er humbly replied, “Nuannuan, it’s not that exaggerated. The items are good, and that’s why they’re selling well.”

Wen Nuan persisted, saying, “I wouldn’t put it that way. Many people buy things because they see others looking good wearing them. Ling’er, I heard those pieces are handmade. Is that true?”

Jiang Ling’er nodded and said, “Yes, I believe so. I’ve seen the artisans crafting the jewelry. Even the design you like, the one with only thirteen pieces in the world. Each piece has subtle differences if you look closely at each one.”

Wen Nuan continued, “Exactly, handmade items, even from the same person, can be different.”

Wen Nuan picked up the savory snacks and started eating them again.

“This savory one is really delicious!”

Jiang Ling’er smiled and said, “I’ll make more for you later. Take them with you, and if you ever want to eat them, I’ll prepare more for you. These snacks are easy to make.”

Wen Nuan playfully hinted, “Well… 1 wouldn’t want to take up too much of your lovey-dovey time!”

“Nuannuan, you…”

Wen Nuan gave an ambiguous reply, “I understand; 1 won’t misunderstand anything. Don’t worry.”

“If this isn’t a misunderstanding, I don’t know what is!” Jiang Ling’er shot back as she looked at Wen Nuan helplessly..
