Chapter 283: Overly-Jealous Lover

“Big Brother Yun, where are you now? Can I go to you now?”

Xue Meining’s voice was creepily calm. That was outside of Ling Yun’s expectations.

That’s bad. Big troubles are brewing ahead! Ling Yun thought to himself.

Ling Yun knew that last night there were at least two jealous lovers, Xue Meining and Cao Shanshan.

That’s all because of that idiotic Tang Meng! Ling Yun pushed all the blame onto Tang Meng shamelessly.

He instructed to call Cao Shanshan and Xue Meining only if he was captured. Tang Meng instead called everyone over recklessly.

The rescue mission was successful and everyone was out of the danger, but how was Ling Yun going to deal with the situation now?

“Erm… Ning Er, I am sure you did not have a good rest last night from all the commotion. I think it’s better if you head home for a good rest,”

Ling Yun tried to dodge the situation by not meeting her.

“That’s not true. I had a great rest on your bed last night. I am totally refreshed,” Xue Meining was not about to give him any leeway.

“Ning Er, I have quite a bit of things to settle today. I am quite busy.” Ling Yun tried again.

“I can accompany you while you work.”

“I still have to do some revision today.”

“That’s even better. I can study with you. Where exactly are you, Big Brother Yun?”

“I am at Mansion Number One in the Qingxi Villa District. Do you know where it is?” Ling Yun could only resign himself to his fate.

“Big Brother Yun, I will be there soon. Wait for me!”

Xue Meining was very familiar with the area since she had stayed in Qingxi Villa District One herself.

Ling Yun’s voice was filled with concern. “Ning Er, you were caught in the rain last night and it’s quite cold today. Do wear something warmer…”

A busy note came from the other end of the phone. Xue Meining had long since hung up the phone.

Ling Yun could only laugh bitterly as he ended the call. The arrival of a message from Cao Shanshan caught his attention.

“Bad boy, I couldn’t stop Ning Er from looking for you. She is livid. You better find some way to pacify her. I miss you…”

Ling Yun decided to switch off his phone after staring at his phone helplessly for some time.

Xue Meining did not arrive as fast as Ling Yun thought she would. Her Ferrari turned into Mansion Number One just after eight thirty in the morning.

Ling Yun waited in the yard with a face full of smile.

Xue Meining stepped out of the red Ferrari after the engine was shut off.

It was obvious that Xue Meining had gone home for a change of clothes. She was in a white long-sleeved shirt and sky blue skinny jeans. The hem of her shirt was stuffed into the waistband of the jeans, emphasizing her breathtaking straight and slender legs.

Xue Meining’s long hair flowed like a waterfall. Her shirt showed off her perky breasts. Her slim waist and her sexy butt connected to her most beautiful legs.

Xue Meining radiated youth and purity no matter what she wore.

“Big Brother Yun…”

Her left dimple shone with intoxicating luster in the morning sun as she saw Ling Yun waiting for her. She almost dashed into Ling Yun’s arms with happiness.

There was a chance. What a pity. Ling Yun sighed as he tried to use his dashing looks to mesmerize her in vain.

“Ning Er, you dressed up very nicely today. I almost couldn’t recognize you,”

Nonetheless, Ling Yun smiled and greeted her with flattery.

“Really?” Xue Meining’s beautiful eyes flashed with undeniable happiness after receiving Ling Yun’s praise. However, that did not work for long as she quickly reverted to her original state. “Big Brother Yun, you lied to me,” she reproached.

Ling Yun’s eyes widened. “Lie to you? Who dares lie to you? I will hit him! My Ning Er is the most beautiful of all. Come, I will show you!”

Ling Yun gently pulled Xue Meining to the side of the azure blue swimming pool and gazed down at the reflection.

Xue Meining moved her arm away ever so slightly. She was unhappy but she couldn’t bear to part from Ling Yun’s caress.

“Ning Er, look. Your eyebrows are so long and beautiful, your eyes are big and charming, and your nose is straight. Don’t get me started on your delicate and fair skin… I have never seen someone as beautiful as Ning Er,” Ling Yun said seriously as he pointed at Xue Meining’s reflection in the waters. He had never been more serious in his life.

Every girl would be elated if the person she was in love with praised her beauty. Xue Meining was no exception. Most of her anger dissipated, but there still remained some. “I am not as beautiful as you say. Zhuang Meifeng and Xiao Meimei are better looking than me. You are supposed to be my boyfriend. Mine!”

Ling Yun knew that they came to the crux of the issue. He blinked and rebutted, “Ning Er, that definitely isn’t true. They are only good at make-up, unlike my Ning Er. You’re a fresh and alluring natural beauty,” Ling Yun stared straight into her eyes and told her sincerely.

Xue Meining had definitely cried herself to sleep last night. Her eyes were still puffy and red, which was very painful to see.

“In that case, why did you call Zhuang Meifeng your… Ahem! And why did you allow her to stay at your place? Even Xiao Meimei is staying at your place…” Xue Meining was on the brink of tears again.

Shoot, what went wrong? He was supposed to pacify her, not anger her further . Ling Yun pulled Xue Meining to the living room and pulled out the reason he had prepared earlier.

“Ning Er, that is just a temporary solution. You saw the car accident yourself last Saturday. Sun Xing is a bastard. Zhuang Meifeng begged me to hide her because she was forced into marriage by the Sun Family and her own father. I am such a soft-hearted person. How could I bear to refuse? She is in the same predicament as you. She wanted me to be her shield and put on a show. It is all just a show…”

“As for Xiao Meimei, she was originally an assassin whom I defeated. Again, I couldn’t kill her since I am soft-hearted. I could only let her stay there temporarily.”

Soft-hearted? Ling Yun was the only one who could flaunt it so calmly, as though the massacre last night had nothing to do with him.

“Ahem! Xiao Meimei is a bad woman. She’s a seductress.” Ire swelled in Xue Meining once again as she thought about Xiao Meimei’s beautiful face and hot figure.

Ling Yun decided swiftly to follow her train of thought, agreeing to Xue Meining’s statement furiously. “Ning Er is absolutely right! That is why I avoid her when she tries to get close to me. I don’t even spare her a glance.”

“That is more like it.” Xue Meining was happy even though she knew deep in her heart that Ling Yun was just trying to pacify her with this nonsense.

“Ning Er, come and sit down!” Ling Yun settled her down on the sofa.

Xue Meining had calmed down quite a bit and started to be interested in her surroundings. Her eyes swept through the empty living room. “Big Brother Yun, is this the new villa you bought?”

Ling Yun was elated that his diversion tactic worked. He was all smiles immediately. “Yes, indeed. Ning Er, what do you think of it?”

Xue Meining flinched at Ling Yun. “Everyone knows that Mansion Number One in District Four is the best and the most expensive!”

Ling Yun was smiling happily until Xue Meining dropped another bombshell.

“Therefore, I have to stay here!”

“H-how would that be possible?” Ling Yun was caught off guard.

“Why can’t I? I am your official girlfriend! Zhuang Meifeng and Xiao Meimei are staying with you even though they are not!” Xue Meining pouted. While Ling Yun was dumbfounded, she continued overbearingly, “You will be bored staying in such a big villa anyway. Hmm, we need a fish tank here. It is best to get a sculpture of David in that corner. This is not a good sofa since it came with the villa. We have to change to a set that is befitting of this villa…”

Xue Meining was no longer looking at Ling Yun and concerned herself instead with the decoration of the villa, exuding the aura of the caretaker of the household.

“Ugh…” Ling Yun could not get a word in. He had planned to occupy his villa alone, but Ning Er seemed to have different ideas. She was set on staying here with him alone, without anyone else’s interference.

“Ning Er, You are still a second year and are not even seventeen. Your grandpa will not agree to it,” Ling Yun reminded.

“I am going to be seventeen in six days. That is just six more days!” Xue Meining retorted.

Xue Meining stressed the fact that it was just six days away obviously to incite a reaction out of Ling Yun.

“Yes, Ning Er’s birthday is coming soon. I need to prepare a huge birthday gift for you.”

Ling Yun could only go along with her to take her mind off of Zhuang Meifeng.

“Big Brother Yun, I don’t need any present from you. I will be happy if you attend my birthday party!”

Xue Meining was so excited that her birthday was coming. Happiness exploded out of her.

“Oh yeah, where is the rose I gave you last Sunday night? I couldn’t find it.” Xue Meining asked Ling Yun very seriously.

She couldn’t find the rose she gave to Ling Yun at his residence last night. That made up a huge part of why she had cried. She did feel better though, when she didn’t find the rose that Ning Lingyu gave him either.

“That… that rose? I believe I brought them back to the mansion at Qingshui Wharf…”

Ling Yun could not understand why Xue Meining was so obsessed over that bouquet of flowers she had plucked randomly. He could only lie blatantly in his urgency.

He was unaware that the roses from both Xue Meining and Ning Lingyu had been disposed of by Zhuang Meifeng long ago.
