Chapter 159: Surprised?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Li Yu’s sudden arrival caught Jiang Ling’er off guard. The film studio was big, so how did Li Yu manage to locate her? It couldn’t be… Impossible, was Li Yu really that free?

Li Yu observed Jiang Ling’er’s surprised expression and approached her, gently running his fingers through her hair. His eyes were filled with affection as he asked, “Why? Are you surprised?”

Jiang Ling’er felt a tad embarrassed. She had indeed been caught off guard, but had it been so apparent?

Wen Nuan stood nearby, a sly grin on her face. Even a strong-willed person like Ling’er was at a loss when it came to determined suitors who relentlessly pursued her.

Gu Yinian, on the other hand, was utterly stunned. He could swear that he had never seen Li Yu look at anyone with such a tender gaze, not even Cai Yiran.

Li Yu pointed toward the bewildered Gu Yinian and asked, “Do you know him?”

Jiang Ling’er nodded and replied, “He’s Gu Yinian, from the Gu family, a medical prodigy. I’ve seen him in the news, and my uncle has mentioned him several times.”

“Several times?” Li Yu’s displeasure was evident as he shot a cold look at Gu Yinian.

Gu Yinian quickly regained his composure. He hadn’t done anything to provoke such a reaction, so why was he being stared at like that?

“Miss Wen, why are you here today?” Li Yu promptly changed the subject.

Wen Nuan responded proudly, “I’m living with Ling’er now, so naturally, we go everywhere together. Would you like to join us, Mr. Li?”

Jiang Ling’er felt a headache coming on. Wasn’t that invitation a bit too forward?

Li Yu, who was already disgruntled, became even more so. He feigned a wounded expression and said, “If Ling’er agrees, then, of course, I’d be delighted.”

Wen Nuan couldn’t help but roll her eyes. She had assumed that Li Yu was a composed and aloof individual, but she hadn’t expected him to play the victim so convincingly.

Jiang Ling’er’s face was filled with exasperation as she chided, “You two, stop it.”

Wen Nuan playfully stuck out her tongue, and Li Yu flashed a grin.

If Jiang Ling’er dared to play along and say yes, Li Yu would swiftly pack his things and move in without hesitation.

Gu Yinian remained in a daze, observing how Jiang Ling’er’s reserved demeanor surprisingly complemented Li Yu’s charismatic aura.

He couldn’t help but think that this was a genuinely good girl. Why hadn’t Li Yan appreciated her? Gu Yinian was genuinely puzzled as he scrutinized Jiang Ling’er.

Jiang Ling’er glanced at Gu Yinian before shifting her gaze back to Li Yu. She replied, “Is there anything else you want? If not, we’re heading home.”

Li Yu pouted playfully. “I came to find you. If you’re going home, I’m going with you.”

Jiang Ling’er was at a loss for words. She was about to respond when Gu Yinian chimed in.

“Miss Jiang, when did you become so obedient?” Gu Yinian asked. “It’s only five o’clock now, and you want to go home. That’s not like you.”

Li Yu furrowed his brow. Did Gu Yinian even know what he was talking about?

Wen Nuan, overhearing the conversation, spoke up irritably. “Hey you, what’s your point? Do you understand the concept of slander?”

“Didn’t Miss Jiang used to enjoy going to bars?” Gu Yinian chuckled. “1 heard you wouldn’t go home until late at night, right?”

Wen Nuan scoffed. “Where did you hear that from?”

Gu Yinian felt a twinge of guilt but tried to play it off with a nonchalant tone. “Well, that’s what the media says.”

Wen Nuan looked at Gu Yinian with disdain. “How many of those entertainment news pieces are accurate? Have you ever fact-checked? You call yourself a genius in the medical field? Maybe you should use your brain more.” Gu Yinian couldn’t help but feel a bit humiliated.

Wen Nuan then turned her gaze to Li Yu and remarked, “Ling’er, I now understand why you said Li Yu isn’t a suitable match.”

With a pointed glance at Gu Yinian, she added, “Look at this clueless guy. He doesn’t possess any real talent; 1 suspect his fame is purely due to media hype.” “Ms. Wen, isn’t that going too far?” Gu Yinian retorted, somewhat disgruntled. “Too far?” Wen Nuan shot back icily. “Did you ever think you were going too far when you openly slandered a girl’s reputation? Do you have any concrete evidence to back your claims?”

Jiang Ling’er intervened with a smile and said, “Nuannuan, there’s no need to be angry. Rumors die down eventually. The rest doesn’t matter.”

Wen Nuan’s eyes still burned with anger as she replied sternly, “Ling’er, if someone slanders people like this, 1’11 scold them every time 1 encounter them. Mr. Gu, you’re supposed to be a doctor, yet you don’t even use your brain when you speak. Maybe it’s time for you to consider changing your profession.”

Gu Yinian was speechless.

His expression darkened.. She could say that he was incapable, but she could not question his medical skills!
