Chapter 499: Chapter 499: What are you struggling with?

"I know her temperament somewhat, she won’t cause too much trouble. You don’t need to worry, but if she does something to provoke you, you must tell me immediately, okay?"

"Okay, I’ll see you every day and report whether I’ve had any interaction with her, said a few words, so you can keep up with the dynamics between us."

The man chuckled lightly, "Okay."

Wen Ran couldn’t help but ask, "If I talk too much, won’t you find it boring?"

"Of course not."

"Really?"

Fu Chenlie nodded, "I like listening to you talk, the more, the better."

Her heart felt sweet inside.

This man is really becoming more and more eloquent.

She also loved listening to him talk.

The two were talking and laughing originally, the scene harmonious and pleasant, and their moods quite good.

However—

Just as they left the company, they ran into Jiang Wan Ning head-on.

The three of them simultaneously stopped in their tracks.

For over two months, Wen Ran hadn’t seen Jiang Wan Ning, even though they worked in the same company.

Whether it was due to makeup or something else, she looked quite well, not at all like someone with a terminal illness.

Jiang Wan Ning’s gaze swept from Wen Ran to finally land on Fu Chenlie, "Ah Lie, long time no see."

"How have you been lately?"

"The same, and you?"

"Always busy with work."

"I suppose you must be very busy to break your promise to me."

Fu Chenlie frowned slightly.

Jiang Wan Ning chuckled lightly, "You said you’d come to see me, but I’ve waited two months and haven’t seen you. If we hadn’t run into each other today, were you planning to see me one last time before I die?"

"No, I planned to visit you this Saturday, I’ve just finished a project that kept me busy recently."

"But I already made plans with friends that day."

"Hmm, then you go ahead and be busy."

"How about the weekend? Come to my house, have lunch together?"

Fu Chenlie didn’t respond immediately.

Because this weekend is Wen Ran’s birthday.

Standing by, Wen Ran felt conflicted inside.

Fu Chenlie had promised Jiang Wan Ning he’d visit her, but hadn’t gone for two months.

He didn’t reply immediately now, probably fearing Mrs. Fu would be unhappy.

After thinking a bit, Wen Ran still turned to him, softly saying, "Ah Lie, go have lunch with Ms. Wan Ning this weekend."

The latter met her gaze, his dark eyes deep.

Wen Ran avoided his gaze.

Jiang Wan Ning smiled, pressing, "Ah Lie, do you have something else going on this weekend?"

Fu Chenlie didn’t answer directly, merely saying, "Since you’re busy on Saturday, let’s have lunch on Sunday, I’ll see you then."

She laughed warmly, "Okay, I’ll wait for you at home."

"Waiting at home" used between them seemed too inappropriate and ambiguous.

The man didn’t respond directly, only nodded lightly, "The driver has been waiting for a long time, let’s head out."

With that, he wrapped his arm around Wen Ran’s waist, walked to the car, and opened the door for her, his hand protecting her head, wary of any accidental bumps.

Watching the man’s attentiveness to Wen Ran, Jiang Wan Ning’s gaze was filled with thicker resentment.

...

In the car, Wen Ran and Fu Chenlie sat in the back, the driver drove from the front seat.

From getting in the car to driving off, the silence in the car lasted about five minutes.

Finally, Fu Chenlie broke the silence.

He glanced Wen Ran up and down, his thin lips opened and closed: "Why did you proactively suggest I spend the weekend with Wan Ning?"

"Didn’t you promise to see her?"

"I said Saturday."

Wen Ran uttered an "Oh": "I know, but since she has plans on Saturday, were you going to postpone until next week? Why don’t you call Ms. Wan Ning now and change the time?"

The man furrowed his brows, "You’ve already agreed on my behalf."

"If I didn’t agree for you, weren’t you being put in a difficult spot?"

"Do you know what’s putting me in a difficult spot?"

She looked into his deep eyes, smiled lightly, "What?"
