Chapter 40: Xu Juan’s Dinner Gathering (Part 1)
Leng Yichen arrived on the second floor like a gust of wind, barging directly into Bai Yiran’s room, seeing her curled up at the head of the bed, her head resting on her knees, with a red nose and eyes.
Bai Yiran heard the noise, looked up, and saw Leng Yichen’s concerned and anxious eyes. Instantly, a wave of grievance surged in her heart, and with a choked voice, she said, "Leng Yichen..."
Leng Yichen sat down at the head of the bed, and Bai Yiran immediately threw herself into his arms, wrapping her arms tightly around his waist, feeling aggrieved like a child, "Why are people so bad now..."
Leng Yichen gently stroked Bai Yiran’s hair and back, his soft voice full of heartache, "Alright, everything’s fine with me here. Whoever bullies you, I’ll deal with them."
Bai Yiran shook her head in Leng Yichen’s arms, wiping all her tears on his shirt, then looked up at him, "I’m hungry."
"Alright, let’s go downstairs to eat. Sister Liu made a lot of food." Leng Yichen’s tone, like coaxing a child, made Bai Yiran burst into laughter.
For some reason, she had been feeling miserable just now, but as long as she saw Leng Yichen, she felt especially calm.
"What a waste! Still have the nerve to call yourself a professional actor! Weren’t you just caught by that little wench Bai Yiran!" Xu Juan scolded Liu Zhen harshly. The plan had now been ruined, and Xu Juan’s heart was full of hate!
Liu Zhen sat dispiritedly on the sofa, not saying a word, his mind filled with Bai Yiran’s cold gaze.
"Godmother, there’s no point in blaming Liu Zhen now. Things have already come to this, and if Bai Yiran tells Leng Yichen, we’re finished! Besides, Liu Zhen has already tried his best. Who knew that girl Bai Yiran was so clever!" Wang LuLu’s eyes darted around as she stood in front of Liu Zhen, persuading Xu Juan.
Xu Juan glared at Wang LuLu angrily, "Tried his best, huh! It’s clearly because he’s useless!"
"So what do we do?" Wang LuLu’s face fell, like a deflated balloon. She had been waiting for the chance to pay Bai Yiran back for the humiliation, but things had progressed to this point, and she was unwilling to accept it.
