Li Qingchuan was desperate to verify whether Little Ning was Ling Yun’s girlfriend, prompting him to add fuel to fire as he probed further.
“Little Ning, aren’t you Ling Yun’s girlfriend? Look at Ling Yun, hugging two beautiful girls in each arm. He doesn’t even consider your feelings, aren’t you angry at all?”
How could Xue Meining not be angry? She was probably the angriest out of all!
The Little Demon Girl furrowed her brows and rolled her eyes at Li Qingchuan. “What do you know anyway, the one on Ling Yun’s right is his little sister ok?!”, she said with disdain.
However, she began to ponder, what if her biggest love rival turned out to be his little sister whose parents adopted him!
Thinking back, Ning Lingyu gave Ling Yun a pink rose and Xue Meining saw it with her very own eyes.
Right now, Xue Meining was the only one who had noticed the special affection that Ning Lingyu had for Ling Yun. Even Tang Meng who had witnessed the same scene did not notice anything!
However, as Xue Meining went home and thought it over last night, it seemed as if Ling Yun was not reciprocating Ning Lingyu’s feelings. The care and concern that he had for Ning Lingyu were purely out of the love a brother has for his little sister. Xue Meining was sure of it.
“It can’t be, even though he is adopted, she’s still his little sister!” Xue Meining could not help but give herself a nod of confirmation as she continued to get lost in her thoughts. However, she began to pout in resentment the moment she recalled how Ling Yun would only have his eyes on his little sister whenever she was around and paid no attention to any other girl.
Xue Meining was right. The love Ling Yun had for Ning Lingyu was purely out of their siblinghood, otherwise, he would not have allowed Tang Meng to have a crush on Ning Lingyu.
At the same time, only Ning Lingyu and his mother, Qin Qiuyue, have an irreplaceable spot in Ling Yun’s heart, no other girl could possibly be compared to them!
Anyone would have noticed this because no matter where or when, as long as Ning Lingyu was by Ling Yun’s side, every other girl would naturally fade into the background.
It is only when he was with Ning Lingyu that he would express a certain kind of care and concern that only Ning Lingyu had the privilege of experiencing. No other girl would ever be lucky enough to be on the receiving end of this kind of care and concern from him. Be it a glance, an action or a smile, these were all reserved for Ning Lingyu. This sent all the girls spiraling into an endless wormhole of jealousy!
Xue Meining was definitely experiencing this sort of jealousy right now! She believed that neither Cao Shanshan or the beautiful fairy in Ling Yun’s arms could compare to her importance to Ling Yun, but if she was to compare herself to Ning Lingyu…
Li Qingchuan was in a state of shock. “What?! You’re saying the girl in his right arm is his little sister?” However, he comes to a sudden realization after giving it some thought. “Oh, no wonder. One is called Ling Yun and the other is called Ling Yu. They both have the surname Ling, of course they’re siblings!”
Cao Shanshan suddenly interjected and broke his train of thoughts. “His surname is indeed Ling, but hers isn’t. Her surname is Ning, her full name is Ning Lingyu!”
Li Qingchuan was even more confused. “Huh… Are they not related? What on earth is going on?”
Zhang Ling giggled endlessly as she eavesdropped on the conversation. Xue Meining glanced at Cao Shanshan thoughtfully.
Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu were walking alongside each other behind the four of them.
Both of them had vastly different body types, one was a lot burlier than the other. The sight of them walking side-by-side was extremely eye-catching and it caught the attention of the students around.
“Brother Hu, have you really decided on working with Boss?” Tang Meng put on a serious expression as he asked Tie Xiaohu casually.
Right now, Tang Meng always addressed Ling Yun as his boss in front of everyone. Be it Ning Lingyu, Xue Meining, or Cao Shanshan, he would always refer to Ling Yun as “Boss”. The only exception where he would not address Ling Yun as “Boss” was in front of Ling Yun’s mother, Qin Qiuyue.
Were it not for the gambling event scam orchestrated for Ling Yun, Tang Meng would have announced that Ling Yun was his boss before the entire school!
Since Ling Yun had already told the Green Dragon Gang members that Tie Xiaohu would be working under him, Tang Meng assumed that everything was already set in stone. Therefore, he felt as though there was no need to hold his tongue before Tie Xiaohu.
Tie Xiaohu nodded his head without hesitation and answered, “Mhmm!”
Tang Meng looked at Tie Xiaohu in shock as he said, “I can’t help but wonder about something. When Boss was beating you up, did he really beat you into submission? Don’t you hate him at all?”
Tie Xiaohu chuckled as he replied, “Mhmm, I surrender. I’m afraid of him, at the same time, I’m grateful for him, but I will definitely never hate him!”
Confusion was written all over Tang Meng’s face as he continued to question Tie Xiaohu. “Aren’t you afraid that the Green Dragon Gang may seek revenge?”
A faint smile crossed Tie Xiaohu’s lips as he replied, “Of course I’m afraid, but I believe that Ling Yun can handle the Green Dragon Gang and make sure that I’m safe and sound.”
Of course Tang Meng would believe this now, thus he nodded in agreement. “That’s true. However, word on the street is that you’re the prospective successor of the Green Dragon Gang. Are you really willing to give it all up?
Tie Xiaohu raised his bushy eyebrows and fixed his stare on the faraway Ling Yun. “Following Ling Yun would be even better!”
Tang Meng had no more questions and thought to himself, “Judging by how burly Tie Xiaohu is, I didn’t expect him to be this shrewd!”
At the front of the crowd, Ling Yun had arrived at the entrance of the Savant’s Restaurant with the two beauties in his arms. Seeing that Lin Menghan was regaining her strength and beginning to struggle again, Ling Yun furrowed his brows and whispered into her ear. “Don’t move, or else I’ll paralyze you again!”
Lin Menghan glared angrily at Ling Yun but obeyed his command anyway. She wondered what dark magic did Ling Yun use to paralyze her entire body.
Lin Menghan pondered to herself before she began to speak. “Ling Yun, I’m dressed in my police uniform right now. What would people think of us if they see us like that? Can you please put me down?”
Ling Yun let out a chuckle. “Of course, I can put you down. However, you have to follow me to the Savant’s Restaurant to record my statement, deal?”
Lin Menghan would never have expected this to happen. All she wanted was to bring Ling Yun back to the station to record his statement, but after Ling Yun uttered a few sentences, she ended up getting abducted and brought to the Savant’s Restaurant to record his statement. Was this seriously the place to record a statement?!
But now, she is clearly aware that Ling Yun was a lot stronger than her, thus she had no choice but to come to an agreement. “Alright, I’ll follow you, but you have to put me down right away.”
Ling Yun turned around and flashed a smile at Ning Lingyu before releasing his grip on Lin Menghan. He could not be bothered about whether Lin Menghan was going to make a run for it. In fact, it would be even better if she left, then Ling Yun would be able to eat his lunch in peace. It would also save him the trouble of recording his statement!
Ning Lingyu responded with a seductive glance. “Brother, how can you treat this sweet female officer like this, she doesn’t mean any harm.”
Ling Yun was capable of handling any woman who crosses his path and the only exception to this was his sister. Therefore, he could only rub Ning Lingyu’s head awkwardly as a response.
“Come, let’s go in. Order whatever you want to eat, don’t need to save any of that idiot’s money!”
Ling Yun let go of Lin Menghan’s hand and completely ignored her before entering the Savant’s Restaurant while holding Ning Lingyu’s arm.
Since Lin Menghan had already arrived, it would definitely bum her out if she had to leave by herself. Therefore, she gritted her teeth and stomped her feet fiercely as she entered the restaurant with Ling Yun.
It was a Monday, which meant the Savant’s Restaurant would not have much business to do, leaving the restaurant eerily empty. The manager of the restaurant was extremely pleased by the sight of a huge crowd being led into the restaurant by Ling Yun, thus she immediately got up and welcomed them personally before the waiters could even react.
“Hello, may I know if these people behind you are joining you? Do you prefer a private room or the lounge?”
Ling Yun grinned from ear to ear as he nodded his head. “That’s right, they’re all with me, do you see that? There are more than 50 people! I want a private room! Actually, I want 5 private rooms!
Since it was someone else’s money, he would be a fool if he did not take advantage of it to the fullest!
“Alright, please follow me!”
The manager ordered the waiters to wait on the students behind Ling Yun before personally bringing Ling Yun up to the third floor.
The Kuixing Pavillion where Ling Yun previously dined at is on the second floor of the Savant’s Restaurant. The private rooms on the second floor mainly catered to students hosting gatherings, therefore their décor was naturally not as good as the third floor.
At that point, Ling Yun was basically a god of fortune. The manager would obviously want to give him the best service possible. She arranged for Ling Yun to dine in the best private room before leaving to serve the other students behind.
As usual, Ling Yun lets Ning Lingyu sit on his right before addressing Lin Menghan, who was also standing in the private room. “Hey, Ms. Lin, didn’t you say you want to record my statement? Come and sit by my side! You can record as much as you want!”
After being randomly abducted to this place by Ling Yun, Lin Menghan’s blood began to boil as suddenly recalled the scene where Ling Yun was hugging onto her tiny waist tightly. She grunted coldly before plopping down onto a random seat.
Soon enough, Cao Shanshan and friends along with Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu entered the private room. This time, Cao Shanshan had her mind set on sitting beside Ling Yun even without Zhang Ling’s reminder.
Just as Cao Shanshan walked over to Ling Yun and prepares to sit down, Ling Yun waves at Xue Meining and called out to her. “Little Ning, come over, sit beside me!”
Seems as if this fellow had just recalled that he still bore a huge responsibility of acting as her “shield”!
As long as Li Qingchuan was still around, he would continue to fulfill his responsibility as her shield!
As she looked at Ling Yun continuously ignoring her, Cao Shanshan’s face turned bright red as she was overwhelmed by a sense of embarrassment. How she wished she could dig a hole and jump into it!
On the other hand, Xue Meining was elated and giggled endlessly as she moved over to Ling Yun’s right before plopping down in the seat. She then wrapped her arms around Ling Yun and leaned in to whisper in his ear. “Nice work!”
After that, she began to pat on the seat on her right as she smirked at Cao Shanshan. “Big Sister Shanshan, do you want to sit here?”
Even though her gesture seemed like some form of protest, it was still a way for Cao Shanshan to get out of her sticky situation. Thus, Cao Shanshan had no choice but to accept the offer and sit down beside her.
Tang Meng proceeded to sit in his usual seat which was directly opposite Ling Yun’s seat. Naturally, Tie Xiaohu then sat on Tang Meng’s right.
However, the person on Tang Meng’s left was the gorgeous female officer. This rendered Tang Meng speechless upon sitting down in his seat. He was so shaken, his face turned bright red and his heart rate began to accelerate.
Li Qingchuan finally had an opportunity to showcase his exquisite mannerisms that stemmed from his upbringing in a family of government officials. As he entered the private room, he took the initiative to sit on Tie Xiaohu’s right, which was two seats away from Ning Lingyu.
Of course, Zhang Ling chose to sit between Li Qingchuan and Ning Lingyu. To be given the opportunity to sit right beside her idol and snuggle up to him, Zhang Ling’s excitement was definitely comparable to Tang Meng’s.
Whereas for the rest of the students from Grade 12 Class 6, they naturally divided themselves into groups of ten and each group occupied one private room. Zhang Dong and Chai Hanlin came up to the private room where Ling Yun was sitting in and made some small talk, but they were smart enough to realize that they did not belong in that room before quickly hurrying off into another private room.
Seeing that everyone was here, Ling Yun flashed a smile at the waiter who was serving them beverages and announced, “Let’s not look at the menu, bring out your restaurant’s best and most expensive dishes, do the same for all 5 of the private rooms. No need to save me money today!”
Spending other people’s money was truly relaxing, Ling Yun’s voice was as loud as thunder as he made his announcement!
