Chapter 335: Then you be my girlfriend.

Ling Xuejiu heard the text message ring and immediately took out her phone to check it. As she did, Li Mengjie also leaned in and said, "Is it from the Cold Bodyguard?" While speaking, she glanced back at Leng Xuan before continuing, "Xue Jiu, see what Cold Bodyguard said?"

Opening the text message, Ling Xuejiu read, "Miss, I have a friend who has invited me out for dinner tonight, you and Xiao Jie go home first."

"Friend?" Li Mengjie’s face brimmed with suspicion. "What friend? A man or a woman?"

Ling Xuejiu rolled her eyes, annoyed, and said, "If you want to know so badly, why don’t you ask him yourself?" She then put away her phone without sending a reply.

Li Mengjie pursed her lips and took out her own phone, quickly typing a message: "Cold Bodyguard, Xue Jiu told me to ask you, which friend invited you to dinner, a man or a woman?"

Leng Xuan gave Li Mengjie a look and chuckled to himself. With Miss Ling’s pride, she would hardly bother to ask him about such trivial matters, right? It was certainly Li Mengjie herself who wanted to know. He pursed his lips and replied, "A man."

Li Mengjie quickly sent another text: "Really?"

Knowing that Li Mengjie loved to overthink, Leng Xuan couldn’t resist replying with a mischievous tone, "Why do you care so much? Are you jealous?"

When Li Mengjie saw the message, she paused for a moment before replying, "Hehe, that’s right, I’m jealous. You flirtatious big radish, you promised me you wouldn’t mess around with others, and yet..." A bunch of ellipses followed.

After reading the text, Leng Xuan felt both amused and frustrated. This girl’s message sounded so melancholic, as if she really cared about him? But he knew that Li Mengjie was always whimsical and rarely sincere. If out of ten sentences one was true, it was probably a slip of the tongue. So, he replied with a smile, "Since you care about me so much, why don’t you just be my girlfriend?"

Leng Xuan’s intention was just to play along with Li Mengjie’s act, not to actually suggest she become his girlfriend. Of course, Li Mengjie wasn’t entirely unattractive to him; on the contrary, what man wouldn’t like a beautiful and sexy girl? However, Leng Xuan knew that he and Li Mengjie were simply not from the same world. Being of lowly status, merely a bodyguard, he felt he couldn’t aspire to someone like Miss Li, a rich heiress.

Of course, Leng Xuan didn’t actually know much about Li Mengjie’s family background, but considering that she was in Baiyun City alone, with a sports car and a villa, what else could she be if not a rich heiress?

Sometimes, Leng Xuan found it strange how much trust Li Mengjie’s family seemed to have in her, letting her stay in Baiyun City alone. He wondered what they were thinking...

As Li Mengjie looked at her phone, a sly smile played at the corners of her mouth. Just as she was about to reply, Ling Xuejiu suddenly approached and asked, "Xiao Jie, what are you and Leng Xuan chatting about?"

"Ah?" Li Mengjie’s face turned red, and she said, "Nothing much, hehe, just asking him which friend’s house he’s going to for dinner."

"Oh!" Ling Xuejiu said, "What did he tell you?"

Li Mengjie answered, "He hasn’t said yet, just that it’s a male friend."

After hearing this, Ling Xuejiu didn’t say much more—who doesn’t have friends? It’s normal for friends to occasionally dine out together. If she was too controlling, it would make her seem petty. After all, Leng Xuan, her bodyguard, was fundamentally different from others’, because he was only willing to stay by her side out of respect for her grandfather. Otherwise, he might have left a long time ago. This thought caused Miss Ling’s heart to sour inexplicably—yes, if it wasn’t because of her grandfather, Leng Xuan might have already left...
