Chapter 114: Chapter 114: The Girl Next Door

"Met." Wen Nuan was momentarily stunned and answered briefly.

With Leng Yan’s earlier behavior, if she said they didn’t know each other, it would only raise suspicion. However, when it came to Leng Yan, she couldn’t say much. In fact, today she didn’t want to say much at all. Seeing him and Ji Wei together just annoyed her.

She wished those two would just explode right in front of her, to save her eyes from the sight!

"Nuannuan, you’re still young and too naive, don’t get involved with him!"

Tan Qing frowned slightly, giving her a serious warning: "The Leng Family’s Second Young Master is a playboy. Not only that, but he’s also married; he just got married not long ago."

Maybe because he thought of his own roving ways among flowers, when mentioning the word "playboy," he blushed awkwardly and quickly emphasized his status as a married man.

"Thank you for your concern, Tan Qing. But you’re overthinking it."

Wen Nuan bit her lip, unsure how to respond to Tan Qing’s question, so she could only thank him for his concern.

"You don’t seem to be in a good mood." Tan Qing reached out and pinched her nose: "Smile."

"Hehe." She laughed, looking even uglier than when she cried.

Tan Qing shrugged helplessly, examining her closely: "Whoa, is that face meant to scare people?"

"Go away!" Wen Nuan finally burst into laughter, pointing at him: "Are there such handsome ghosts? If you’re a ghost, you’re definitely a menace, not even letting the female ghosts rest in peace in the dungeons."

Just look at the eyes of the women around him, all gathered on him, and you would know.

Tan Qing blinked and grinned: "But, in the future, I only want to be a menace to one."

With the enchanting flutter of his narrow eyes, Wen Nuan couldn’t help but think of Leng Yan’s mischievous smile. Tan Qing’s tone and words made her heart uneasy once again.

Quickly grabbing a glass of red wine, she took a sip and smiled lightly: "Young Master Tan wants to be a menace to Qu Min?"

Alright, she was really nervous, so despite knowing Tan Qing didn’t like hearing that name, she said it anyway.

Tan Qing’s face darkened for a moment, but it was only fleeting. He took a sip of juice and snorted: "How could it be her? The one I truly want to menace is..."

"Huh, why are you drinking juice? Shouldn’t it be red wine?" Wen Nuan’s heart pounded even harder, abruptly interrupting his words.

Anxious and afraid he’d say her name...

"You’re drunk, and I’m drunk too, how will you get home?" Tan Qing chuckled and took another sip of juice, smugly grinning at her: "You’re drunk; I haven’t had a drink, it’s just the right excuse to take you home."

"No need to trouble Young Master Tan, I’ll take her." Leng Yan had already walked over, looking at Wen Nuan with eyes that concealed anger.

"Second Young Master? Do you two live close by?" Tan Qing seemed genuinely confused today.

He had spent more time abroad in recent years, having met Leng Ye overseas. Though he had seen Leng Yan at some significant occasions, they weren’t particularly familiar. When Leng Yan got married, Tan Qing was out of town and only returned the day after their wedding, so he knew even less about Leng Yan and Wen Nuan’s situation.

"Of course, right, Assistant Wen?" Leng Yan still smiled at Wen Nuan, but she could clearly sense the threatening undertone beneath that smile.

"Very close." Wen Nuan smiled, but it was a bitter smile.

So close, yet their hearts felt miles apart.

However, she was curious about what Leng Yan intended to say. He wouldn’t really reveal their marriage, would he? She didn’t forget; it was him who repeatedly told her not to say she was the Leng Family’s Second Young Madam.

"She’s like a younger sister from the neighbor’s house. Her father asked me to keep a good eye on her and not let her come home too late at night."

Leng Yan wore a sincere smile, looking at Tan Qing: "Young Master Tan, I’ll take her first to spare her from getting too drunk, so I can explain to her father later."
