Chapter 550: The vinegar taste is very strong.

"Alright, he’s not my boyfriend like you think. Don’t misunderstand," Zhou Li said, though her heart ached a bit, and her friend’s words had given her quite a bit to think about. Should she take the initiative and ask him out? But what if he rejected her? That would be so awkward.

As she hesitated, her phone vibrated. She opened it to see a text from Leng Xuan, asking if she was free tonight to meet up.

Zhou Li’s expressionless face suddenly lit up with a charming smile. This was the first time in a while that Leng Xuan had asked her out on his own initiative. It seemed he hadn’t forgotten about her. With these thoughts, her hands were busy as well, quickly replying to the message, "Okay, what time and where?"

It wasn’t long before Leng Xuan replied, "Eight in the evening, meet at the school gate."

Zhou Li looked at the message, her lips curving slightly upward. However, as she was engrossed with the screen, she didn’t notice her desk mate and good friend Hua Hua leaning over her shoulder to sneak a peek at the text and quickly looked away before Zhou Li became aware.

Before long, the day had passed. At the sound of the school bell, students flooded out of the gates like a surging tide.

Leng Xuan had already arrived early, his car parked on the road outside the school. Soon, he saw Li Mengjie and Ling Xuejiu walking out of the school towards his direction.

Once in the car, Leng Xuan headed straight to the supermarket to pick up a few groceries before going straight home. Upon entering the house, Ling Xuejiu and Li Mengjie threw themselves onto the sofa and nonchalantly turned on the TV. Leng Xuan, on the other hand, went into the kitchen to start preparing dinner.

Before long, the rich aroma wafted from the kitchen to the living room, tempting the two beauties. As soon as the steaming dishes were placed on the table, they sat down at the dining table, unable to wait any longer.

During the meal, Leng Xuan suddenly looked up and said, "I need to go out for a bit later, and I don’t know when I’ll be back. You two should get some rest early."

"Out again?" Li Mengjie asked with interest, "Are you going on a date with a beauty?"

"No," Leng Xuan shook his head, certainly not admitting it; otherwise, knowing Li Mengjie’s character, who knew what sort of gossip she could stir up. "I just have some things to take care of."

At that moment, Ling Xuejiu, who had been quiet, frowned and said, "Why do you have so many things to do? You’re busier than us. Don’t forget, you were hired by Grandpa to protect my safety. What kind of bodyguard runs off whenever they please?"

"Hehe," Li Mengjie chuckled, leaning closer to Leng Xuan, "Do you smell that?"

"What smell?" Leng Xuan asked, puzzled.

"Can’t you smell that strong scent of vinegar?" Li Mengjie patted Leng Xuan’s shoulder and said, "Cold Bodyguard, Xue Jiu is full of Resentment Qi. You’ll have to spend more time with her in the future; otherwise, be careful she turns into a resentful woman, hehe."

Although Li Mengjie’s voice was not loud, Ling Xuejiu heard every word. Her face flushed red, and she glared at Li Mengjie in annoyed embarrassment, saying, "Xiao Jie, you little wretch, keep spouting nonsense and I’ll kick you out. From now on, you’re not allowed to step foot in my house."

Li Mengjie, unfazed by the threat, responded with a mischievous smile, "Xue Jiu, are you trying to send me away so you and Cold Bodyguard can have your little world to yourselves? You’re so sneaky; you can’t have him all to yourself. But... if that’s really what you want, I don’t mind, especially since you’re going to be the main wife." With that, she burst into giggles.
