Chapter 440: The True Princess! Ling Yun as a Chef! Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ning Lingyu lifted her head slightly, and her long eyelashes shivered lightly. She looked at Zhuang Meina, whose face was blushing, and said, “Sure.”

Ning Lingyu stood up before saying, “There are too many people in the classroom. Let’s go outside…”

When the students of Grade 12 Class 1 saw this scene, every one of them was incomparably shocked. They couldn’t believe the mighty Zhuang Meina was actually taking the initiative to find Ning Lingyu. Moreover, she was speaking in such a polite manner. This was truly a rare scene!

After Ning Lingyu and Zhuang Meina left the classroom, the two of them stood near the railing. Ning Lingyu spoke calmly. “Whatever you want to say, you can say it here.”

Zhuang Meina’s face was exceedingly red as she bit her own lips and replied while lowering her head, “Lingyu, I… I haven’t been the nicest to you in the past, but I’ve learned my mistakes. Can you forgive me?”

To be honest, it was incredibly difficult for Zhuang Meina to say something like that to Ning Lingyu. She was basically forcing herself to say everything within one breath before lowering her head again. She dared not look into Ning Lingyu’s eyes.

What she didn’t expect was Ning Lingyu’s casual reply. All she said was, “You’ve called me out just for this?”

Zhuang Meina felt incomparably ashamed and simply nodded her head without saying anything.

Ning Lingyu smiled faintly and said, “I’ve met your sister, and she even stayed at my place for two days. She’s a very nice person who I can work well with.”

This was the first time Zhuang Meina heard about the fact that Zhuang Meifeng had stayed at Ling Yun’s place.

Zhuang Meina asked, “My sister? She stayed at your place for two days?”

Ning Lingyu nodded lightly. “That’s right! It was the last day of the Qingming Festival holidays. Back then, we were decorating our house, and she helped us with a lot of matters. She only rushed back when she found out that your family got into trouble.”

Zhuang Meina muttered, “I see… But my sister never told me anything about this…”

Ning Lingyu chuckled. “You don’t need me to forgive you because you’ve never done anything to hurt me. We have two very different lives because you’re an aloof princess, and everything that you do could be because of that. You’re not wrong in doing whatever you did.”

“Really… I didn’t hurt you?” Zhuang Meina thought of how she acted over the past three years. She suddenly felt ashamed and unable to show her face. She couldn’t wait to dig a hole to hide her face.

Just three weeks ago, Zhuang Meina was indeed an aloof princess who didn’t regard anyone as important. However, the true princess was no longer her. The princess was the girl standing in front of her — Ning Lingyu.

Ning Lingyu was gorgeous like a fairy, and her temperament was dream-like and perfect. She was merely standing there quietly and emitting a radiance that not many people could stare straight at. She wasn’t arrogant, but there was an indescribable pride which she displayed. It made people feel inferior when standing next to her.

Previously, there was only one thing that Zhuang Meina had more of than Ning Lingyu. That was money. This was because her family was the richest family in Qingshui City, while Ning Lingyu was merely a commoner without a lot of money.

However, Ning Lingyu had everything that Zhuang Meina had. On the other hand, whatever Zhuang Meina didn’t have, Ning Lingyu had much more!

Whether it was appearance, personality, studies, or anything else, Ning Lingyu would be able to suppress Zhuang Meina. There was basically no need for comparison.

Even so, none of that was important. The most important point was that Ning Lingyu had a heaven-defying brother — Ling Yun!

After Ling Yun chopped up Sun Tianbiao from the Sun Family, Zhuang Meina knew the things Ling Yun was capable of doing. In school, she was more certain than anyone else because she personally witnessed it!

After Zhuang Meina witnessed that scene, she finally understood why Ling Yun was able to act so brazenly in school. This was because everything that Ling Yun displayed thus far had been beyond everyone’s imagination. In the eyes of a Ling Yun like that, money never really mattered.

Of course, there were many more things that Zhuang Meina didn’t know about. If she knew that Ning Lingyu’s mother came from one of the biggest families in China, the Qin Family, she would probably find another hole to hide in.

Ning Lingyu remained emotionless, and while there seemed to be a trace of pity, it wasn’t noticed by Zhuang Meina. All she said was, “You’ve over complicated things, and you really didn’t hurt me. Therefore, there is no need for me to forgive you… In the future, I will be spending less time in school, so…”

Zhuang Meina asked, “Spending less time in school? Why? Are you not going to take the college entrance exams?”

Ning Lingyu smiled faintly, and her exceptionally beautiful eyes opened wide when she smiled. She didn’t explain anything.

Given her results, there was no need for her to be slogging away in school. All she needed to do was take the college entrance exams when the time came.

Moreover, Qin Dongxue mentioned teaching her a lot of new knowledge. She hadn’t come into contact with any of it, so it needed time. There was no time to delay.

Towards Zhuang Meina’s countless provocations and verbal insults, Ning Lingyu had been angry previously. However, Ning Lingyu had never hated her before. Anger and hatred were two very different emotions.

Even if there was hatred in Ning Lingyu’s heart, it wouldn’t last long after finding out that Zhuang Meifeng was her brother’s girlfriend. After all, Zhuang Meina was Zhuang Meifeng’s biological sister.

“Then are you able to… get your brother to forgive me? I… think he’s still angry at me…”

Zhuang Meina whispered; she really needed Ning Lingyu’s help.

However, she heard Ning Lingyu’s reply. “This is where you are wrong. My brother seldom gets angry because if he gets angry, he will reach out to settle the problem immediately. There is no need for him to get angry.”

“Additionally, I won’t be of any help if he is really still angry at you. My brother isn’t someone who will be easily influenced by others…

“I don’t care what you want to tell me today, but there are two things I want you to know. The first one is that I’ve never blamed you. The second is that there is nothing I can do to help you if you want me to help you talk things over with my brother. That will be your own problem.”

After saying that, Ning Lingyu’s phone rang and her eyes lit up. She took out her phone to take a look, and it was indeed Ling Yun who called.

At this moment, Ling Yun parked his car at the entrance of the school as he said to Ning Lingyu over the phone, “Sister, have you applied for leave? I want to take you home already…”

Ning Lingyu chuckled and said, “I’ve already applied for leave. Wait for me at the school’s entrance, I’ll be there immediately.”

After hanging up the phone, Ning Lingyu smiled at the dazed Zhuang Meina and waved goodbye to her. After that, she went back to the classroom to pack her belongings.

Seeing how Ning Lingyu left the classroom so hurriedly, Zhuang Meina’s face was filled with regretful tears and envy. She thought to herself, She is really fortunate…

…

Ning Lingyu jogged lightly towards the school’s gate and instantly spotted Ling Yun’s Land Rover.

The bell signaling the end of school had just rung, and there were many students at the gate. Therefore, Ling Yun didn’t even get out of the car or turn off the engine.

After Ning Lingyu got into the car, Ling Yun smiled and asked, “Lingyu, what do you feel like eating tonight? After buying what you want, we’ll have a good meal with our aunt.”

Ning Lingyu blinked her big and clear eyes at Ling Yun before saying cheerfully, “Let me tell you a secret. Our aunt loves eating seafood…”

Ling Yun smiled and replied, “Alright, let’s go get some seafood!”

After saying that, Ling Yun stepped on the accelerator. While driving, Ling Yun asked Ning Lingyu, “Lingyu, did your teacher make things difficult for you when you applied for leave?”

Ning Lingyu snickered. “After the commotion you caused in the principal’s office this afternoon, who dares to make things difficult for me?”

“Moreover, our form teacher knows about my academic results. She merely reminded me to not forget my self-revision at home. If I face any difficulty, I can even contact her online to ask her about it. This is really convenient…”

In front of Ling Yun, there was nothing for Ning Lingyu to worry or think about. She was simply acting like a mischievous little girl.

Ling Yun laughed when he heard that. “That’s good! Let’s go shopping for some seafood so that our aunt can enjoy herself, haha…”

The two of them went straight to the largest supermarket with the biggest lobsters, four-headed abalone, and crabs, amongst other things. After spending over a hundred thousand dollars on seafood, they returned to Qingshui Wharf.

“Lingyu, your aunt doesn’t know how to drive a car. If you’re free, please start learning how to drive. Once you’ve learned that, I’ll get Tang Meng to get you a license. This way, it will be more convenient for you to move around,” Ling Yun said to Ning Lingyu.

A serious Ning Lingyu nodded her head and replied Ling Yun, “I’ve thought about that too. Staying at Qingshui Wharf is great, but it’s too far from the city center. It is indeed a little inconvenient to travel around here.”

“Alright, I’ll teach you how to drive once I’m done with my matters over the next few days. Anyway, nobody is driving the Maserati at home…”

Currently, Ling Yun already knew how to drive. He didn’t take long to learn, so the presumably exceptionally intelligent Ning Lingyu would definitely not take long to master it.

“Big Brother, shouldn’t I go to a licensed school to learn how to drive?”

Ling Yun replied casually, “The purpose of a driver’s license is to ensure you know how to drive a car. It doesn’t matter where you learn from. It’s more important that you’re able to learn it properly.”

Ning Lingyu could only nod with a sweet smile.

After entering the expressway, Ling Yun increased his speed. He took less than twenty minutes to arrive at the Qingshui Wharf Mansion Number Nine.

“Little Aunt, we’re back!” Ling Yun immediately drove the car into the courtyard. He shouted even before he got out of the car.

Qin Dongxue emerged from the gate and arrived at the side of the Land Rover.

“What delicious food did you bring back? I’m practically starving!”

Ling Yun and Ning Lingyu exchanged glances before chuckling. “I’ve bought some seafood for you…”

Qin Dongxue replied in a surprised tone, “Really? So why are you not getting out of the car to prepare it?”

After hearing that, Ling Yun’s head turned dizzy! Qin Dongxue actually didn’t even know how to prepare seafood?

Ling Yun turned to look at Ning Lingyu, who appeared equally lost. “Big Brother, I only know how to steam crabs. I don’t know anything else…”

That was when Ling Yun realized that he definitely had to be the chef for the day!
