Chapter 68 Confession

Ji Xiaonuan studied the collected tutorials for a long time and finally chose one that wasn't too difficult. She planned to go to the supermarket to purchase the raw materials.

However, as soon as she reached the downstairs of the dormitory, she saw Ling Yifeng waiting there.

Ji Xiaonuan couldn't help frowning.

Since that field trip incident, Ling Yifeng hadn't come to find her. But when Ji Xiaonuan was being scolded by everyone, he did send her a text message to encourage her.

"Xiaoxi." Ling Yifeng came to Ji Xiaonuan hesitantly.

"Senior, is there anything I can do for you?" Ji Xiaonuan asked politely.

"Nothing much. I just came to see you." Ling Yifeng's expression was somewhat gloomy. "Are you going out? Let me give you a ride."

"No need," Ji Xiaonuan smiled distantly. "I'm just going to the nearby supermarket. It's not far."

"Then let me go with you." Ling Yifeng said firmly.

Ji Xiaonuan had no choice but to let him follow.

When they arrived at the supermarket, Ji Xiaonuan purchased all the raw materials on the list. Ling Yifeng still persistently followed her, but he seemed to want to say something but held back, and was somewhat absent-minded. After they walked out of the supermarket, seeing Ling Yifeng still following behind, Ji Xiaonuan suddenly stopped and said, "Senior, if there's nothing else, I'll go back to school. You don't need to see me off."

As if having made up his mind, Ling Yifeng said, "Xiaoxi, let me treat you to something to drink."

"Okay." Ji Xiaonuan agreed.

The two of them walked towards a coffee shop by the roadside.

Zhou Kainan's car happened to pass by. Yang Wanrong looked towards the roadside and said in surprise, "Kainan, am I not mistaken? Isn't that Ji Xiaonuan?"

Zhou Kainan also looked towards the roadside in surprise and said hesitantly, "It seems to be..."

"What do you mean by'seems'? It's clearly her!" Yang Wanrong couldn't help sneering. "Who is that man beside her? It looks like they just went shopping in the supermarket together and now they're going to eat? I really didn't expect that. I thought Ji Xiaonuan was a rather honest girl, but now that Brother Muchen has just gone on a business trip, she can't wait to find another man..."

"Wanrong!" Zhou Kainan frowned and interrupted her unhappily.

"Am I wrong?" Yang Wanrong said angrily. "You clearly saw it too. I don't believe you can't tell that the way that man looks at Ji Xiaonuan is definitely not right!"

Zhou Kainan became even more hesitant. He didn't want to doubt Ji Xiaonuan, but this was what he saw with his own eyes.

"Alright, Kainan," Yang Wanrong said. "It seems that this isn't a good time to find Ji Xiaonuan. Let's just follow them and see if there's really a misunderstanding."

"… Okay." Zhou Kainan agreed. He turned the car around and slowly followed behind Ji Xiaonuan.

A sneer flashed in Yang Wanrong's eyes. She picked up her phone and aimed it at Ji Xiaonuan.

She originally came to find Ji Xiaonuan and wanted her to take the initiative to back out. But if this method was discovered, Chi Jun'an would definitely take it out on her, and maybe even blame her for being too scheming.

But she didn't expect that Ji Xiaonuan would be getting involved with another man at this time!

If she sent these photos to Chi Jun'an, surely Chi Jun'an would lose interest in this woman who was playing with two men at the same time!

Ji Xiaonuan and Ling Yifeng arrived at the coffee shop. She habitually found a seat by the window.

Looking at the traffic flowing on the road through the window, Ji Xiaonuan didn't know that someone was secretly observing her through the car window.

"Xiaoxi, I'm sorry..." Ling Yifeng said guiltily.

"Senior, you don't need to keep apologizing." Ji Xiaonuan smiled faintly. "If you're still feeling bad about the field trip incident, there's really no need. I really don't care anymore."

Ling Yifeng was still somewhat conflicted. He sighed and said, "Xiaoxi, actually I didn't not believe you at that time. I also know very well that you're not the kind of person who would steal other people's things."

Ji Xiaonuan's eyes flickered. Remembering the incident of being wronged that day, she still felt a little uncomfortable.

But it was all in the past.

"I understand." Ji Xiaonuan smiled. "Because you wanted to keep the peace. After all, you have a closer relationship with them, and they are more important. So you could only wrong me first."

Ling Yifeng's face turned pale for some reason.

Ji Xiaonuan had said these words when she left. Even now, hearing them again, he still felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Xiaoxi, it's not like that!" Ling Yifeng said excitedly and grabbed her hand.

Yang Wanrong and Zhou Kainan had just gone upstairs and were about to find a hidden place to sit down when they happened to see this scene.

Zhou Kainan's face turned ugly and he wanted to step forward, but Yang Wanrong stopped him and directly pulled him away.

"Why did you stop me?" Zhou Kainan said unhappily after walking out of the coffee shop. "What kind of woman is she? How can she be worthy of Muchen? I remember she seemed to be rather ambiguous with Ziyun too? She really has the ability. Staying by Muchen's side, she still dares to flirt around!"

"Why did I stop you? What did you plan to do?" Yang Wanrong sneered. "Were you going to scold her? If she cries to Brother Muchen later and Brother Muchen believes her, wouldn't it affect the relationship between you brothers?"

"Then shall we just let it go?" Zhou Kainan asked angrily.

"Of course not." A look of triumph flashed in Yang Wanrong's eyes. "We can just tell Brother Muchen about this. After all, it's a matter between Brother Muchen and her. Let them deal with it themselves."

"You're right." Zhou Kainan nodded. He said with some difficulty, "But without evidence, what if Muchen doesn't believe me?"

"I took pictures just now." Yang Wanrong waved her phone. "But if I send them directly, I'm afraid Brother Muchen won't believe it. I'll send the photos to you, and then you send them to Brother Muchen. With the photos, Brother Muchen will naturally know what to do."

Zhou Kainan was stunned for a moment and finally nodded in agreement. "Okay."

Upstairs, Ji Xiaonuan pulled her hand away unhappily.

"Sorry, Xiaoxi. I was too excited just now. But," Ling Yifeng withdrew his hand with a gloomy expression. "In my heart, you are more important than those people! Xiaoxi, I like you!"

Ji Xiaonuan was stunned. She never expected that Ling Yifeng would suddenly confess his love to her.

Ji Xiaonuan suddenly thought that Xu Wenwen and the others were quite right to scold her. She was really slow-witted. She didn't know Ling Yifeng's feelings at all.

"Because I like you, I consider you as a closer person." Ling Yifeng took a deep breath and smiled bitterly. "That day, I did have the idea of keeping the peace. But I just thought that we have a closer relationship. As long as I explained it to you properly later, you would definitely understand my difficulties..."
