Chapter 52: Could it be that you've fallen for Sister Wenying?

Page 1 of 3

When Wen Ying noticed Huo Jinran standing not far away, she showed no particular emotion. She merely gave him a faint nod, maintaining the most basic courtesy.

Nothing more.

Huo Jinran could feel her indifference.

By now, he was no longer foolish enough to think Wen Ying was merely playing hard to get. In the past, he might have assumed she had changed tactics, attempting to win over him and the others because they were Lu Jinchuan’s friends.

But he would not make such a stupid assumption now.

Wen Ying truly had no interest in cultivating a relationship with him.

The thought made Huo Jinran frown, stirred by an emotion he could not name.

“Brother!” Huo Fuyi was still immersed in the world of knowledge Wen Ying had introduced her to, and even speaking to Huo Jinran could not contain her excitement. “Why did you come looking for me so early?”

Huo Jinran glanced at Wen Ying before saying, “Don’t you know what condition you’re in? Did you bring your asthma medication?”

Huo Fuyi said guiltily, “Oh, you’re so nagging…”

Wen Ying rose to her feet. “Then I’ll go back to my room first.”

“All right,” Huo Jinran replied.

Wen Ying gave Huo Fuyi a faint smile and left.

Huo Fuyi watched her go reluctantly.

When she finally came back to herself, she realized that her brother had also been staring at Wen Ying’s retreating figure.

“Brother?” Huo Fuyi asked. “You haven’t fallen for Sister Wen Ying, have you?”

Huo Jinran frowned and reached out to tap her lightly on the head. Instead of answering, he said, “You’ve been clinging to that woman for so long. Aren’t you afraid of annoying her?”

Huo Fuyi pouted. “Of course not! Sister likes me, all right? You don’t understand her at all. She only seems cold; in truth, she’s very gentle! And besides…”

“Sister Wen Ying seems incredibly capable. Brother, do you know what she does for a living? Does she research drones?”

Huo Jinran fell silent for a moment.

So Wen Ying had actually been that patient while talking with Huo Fuyi?

He had thought that because she disliked him, she would not even want to entertain his sister.

As for…

“Drones?” Huo Jinran recalled how Wen Ying had become involved in the field because of Su Nian during the drone test-flight competition, and how she had then suddenly joined Feixi, a company primarily engaged in drone research and development.

Wen Ying probably… really did care about Su Nian.

Otherwise, she would not have become so fixated on drones.

He could only explain, “Her company’s owner researches drones. She probably picked up some basic theories through exposure.”

That was merely his guess.

It was probably more or less correct.

As He Xicheng’s assistant, she would naturally have to learn something about the field. Still, she was probably one of the more intelligent types, wasn’t she? At the very least, it was enough to deal with a little girl like Huo Fuyi.

Huo Fuyi fell into thought.

She felt that Sister Wen Ying was genuinely brilliant, not merely bluffing her way through.

After returning to her room, Wen Ying stayed busy for a while longer.

She organized several difficult points that needed discussion. Once she went to the company tomorrow, she would have to work them out with He Xicheng.

By the time Shen Jiaxiao, He Xicheng, and the others returned, night had already fallen.

Shen Jiaxiao waved her hand at once. “I can’t go on. My feet are completely ruined. I’m not eating. Don’t call me later.”

He Xicheng said, “She charged ahead like she was full of stimulants at the beginning and used up all her strength. She’s terrible at it, yet she loves playing.”

“There’s a campsite here. We can barbecue, watch the stars, and see the sunrise. Shall we go over later?” He Xicheng asked, looking to be in good spirits.

Wen Ying suddenly remembered that Huo Fuyi had invited her to dinner that evening.

After a moment’s hesitation, she said, “Wait. Let me ask.”

He Xicheng looked puzzled. “You already made plans with someone?”

Just then, Huo Fuyi sent Wen Ying a message:

“Sister! Once you’re ready, come to the camping area. Oxygen Bar, Site Three.”

Wen Ying’s lips curved into a smile. She looked at He Xicheng. “Yes. Let’s go to the camping area.”

He Xicheng did not ask any further questions. He simply called for the Feixi employees to follow him there.

The hotel had arranged a shuttle bus. Upon arrival, Wen Ying led everyone along the path to Site Three.

But when they arrived, she discovered that Huo Fuyi and her brother were not the only ones there. Another group was present as well.

Wen Ying’s gaze fell upon the man and woman seated together at the very center.

Su Nian was saying something to Lu Jinchuan. Lu Jinchuan leaned toward her, listening with his head inclined. His usually cool, aloof features held a patience that moved the heart.

So Lu Jinchuan had this side to him as well.

She had Su Nian to thank for letting her see that Lu Jinchuan was not as cold and heartless as he had been with her.

“Wen Ying, are you spying on us?” Lu Siran noticed her and frowned impatiently. “Why is it that wherever my brother goes, you always manage to follow?”
