Chapter 817: Chapter 734: Don’t Speak of Others During the Day (4 Updates)

Just as Leng Ning finished speaking, Jin Yichen’s call came through.

"It’s Yichen’s call!" Leng Ning answered with a giggle.

Li Si whispered, "Guess you really can’t talk about someone during the day!"

Leng Ning said a couple of words to Jin Yichen on the phone, then started looking around: "Where are you exactly? I can’t see you anywhere!"

Li Si followed Leng Ning’s gaze, looking around as well. It was obvious that Jin Yichen must be nearby.

"Alright then! Yes! You go ahead and keep busy!" Leng Ning hung up, her face full of smiles.

Li Si teased her, "What? Is Yichen in this shop too?"

Leng Ning took a sip of juice and nodded, "He’s upstairs doing business! He saw us by chance earlier! Isn’t that funny, sis-in-law!"

"Yeah, it’s fate! Things like this have to happen for the story to be interesting!"

"Haha! Let’s leave him be and continue with our chat! Oh, sis-in-law, I remembered something! Yesterday mom mentioned when she got home that there’s a wedding on May Day they want you to attend too!"

Li Si didn’t pay much attention and asked casually, "Sure! Did they mention whose wedding it is?"

She was often dragged along by Ouyang Yan to attend such banquets and weddings, so she was used to it by now.

Leng Ning thought for a moment, "I think she said it was the Zheng family!"

Mention of the Zheng family immediately made Li Si think of Zheng Huanxue! Could it be her?

"Which Zheng family?"

"I think it’s the one that runs the entertainment company. Grandpa and Dad seem to have a good personal relationship with them. When our family had events, they would send people to come! This time, I heard it’s their daughter’s wedding!"

Li Si thought to herself that it must be! She had heard about Zheng Huanxue and Han Mingzhe before.

Now she wondered if the new groom was someone she truly loved or just a match made for family alliances.

However, she guessed the latter might be more likely.

After saying this, Leng Ning couldn’t help but sigh, "Oh, it seems like from May onwards every year, weddings and engagement parties just come one after the other! Sis-in-law, did you know? I really don’t like going to these kinds of events now! They’re such a mess, it gives me a headache!"

Li Si laughed, "Don’t worry! When it’s your own wedding, I bet you won’t have a headache then!"

Leng Ning protested, "Sis-in-law! You’re teasing me again!" Then she sighed, "Sigh! Our wedding, Yichen and I, at this rate, probably won’t happen until the end of the year! I’ll just let things take their course; I don’t want to think too much about it!

Actually, Mom really hopes I get married soon! If it wasn’t for that Yin Xuan incident, Dad wouldn’t have such a prejudice against him! Which is why the wedding keeps getting postponed..."

Though Leng Ning understood many things in her heart, she also knew her parents had her best interests at heart.

Everything was ultimately for her own good!

But understanding is one thing, and when faced with Jin Yichen and his father’s slight disappointment, she still felt a bit torn inside.

Li Si understood Leng Ning’s mood, but regarding her marriage, the ultimate decision lay with her parents.

People like them could only offer opinions.

Since Leng Qiankai and Ouyang Yan agreed on having Leng Ning and Jin Yichen marry at the end of the year, she couldn’t say much.

However, Li Si still gently comforted her, "Why do I sense a bit of eagerness to get married in your tone! Let bygones be bygones; revisiting the past now might make Jin Yichen feel wronged the most!

Xiao Ning, your parents letting you marry at the end of the year is not so bad! I think getting married later isn’t a bad thing! You can take the time to prepare well!

You know, organizing a wedding isn’t that simple! There are so many details, and if you don’t have enough time, it can get really exhausting!"

Leng Ning felt she made a lot of sense and nodded in agreement, "You’re right!"

After pondering for a while, a joyful smile appeared in Leng Ning’s eyes, "Sis-in-law! I remember your wedding to my brother, I put in quite a bit of effort from planning to execution! I deserve a reward, don’t I? Shouldn’t you be thanking me properly?"

Li Si generously promised, "No problem! I’ll give you a big gift on your birthday this year!"

"What big gift?" Leng Ning curiously pursued.

Li Si shook her head with a smile, "It wouldn’t be fun if I told you now! You’ll find out then! Oh, look who’s here?"

As she said this, Leng Ning quickly turned around, only to see Jin Yichen, dressed in a well-tailored suit, standing at their table.

"Ladies, would you honor me by letting me sit here?"

Jin Yichen joked, making both Leng Ning and Li Si burst into laughter. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Leng Ning pouted, playing along with him, "Given how handsome you are, go ahead and sit! What do you think, sis-in-law?"

Both looked at Li Si with a smile, and Li Si blinked cooperatively, "If you think it’s fine, it’s fine! The third wheel won’t express an opinion!"

"Haha!" Jin Yichen sat down with an arm around Leng Ning’s shoulder, habitually resting his arm on the back of her chair.

"Sisi! I saw you two chatting excitedly from upstairs. What were you talking about that’s so lively?"

Leng Ning quickly interjected, "It’s girl talk, not meant for your ears! Are you done with your work? Going back to the office later?"

She didn’t want Jin Yichen to know what they had been talking about, and she especially didn’t want to mention Yin Xuan in front of him.

Because whether she admitted it or not, Yin Xuan was like a barrier between them.

Li Si was even less likely to say anything, smiling as she watched Leng Ning and Jin Yichen.

The two of them, whether in appearance or temperament, matched each other really well.

They looked like they were born for each other; she had mentioned before that they had the aura of a couple.

The closer she looked now, the more true it seemed.

Especially their eyebrows and eyes, and the curve of their smile looked remarkably similar.

Jin Yichen just smiled casually, "I’m finished! As for the company, it doesn’t really matter whether I go back or not!"

He noticed Li Si’s gaze and asked curiously, "Sisi, you’re making me nervous! Is there something wrong with me?"

Leng Ning also looked at Li Si curiously, "What’s up, sis-in-law?"

Li Si held back her laughter, "You two are so skittish! What could be wrong? I’m not a fortune-teller!

I was just realizing you two have such a strong resemblance of a couple!"

"Really?" Leng Ning exclaimed happily; she loved hearing that, "Sis-in-law! Tell us how we look alike!"

Oh, she remembered now, when she first showed her sister-in-law photos, she’d said the same thing.

Jin Yichen was intrigued too, "Half-immortal, tell us!"

Li Si rolled her eyes at him—the nickname just rolled off his tongue!

"Your eyebrows and mouth corners are very similar!"

Leng Ning turned her head to look at Jin Yichen, nodding repeatedly, admitting that there was indeed some resemblance.

Jin Yichen didn’t quite agree, "I haven’t noticed it! My eyes aren’t as big as Xiao Ning’s! But my lips are thicker than hers!"

"You two can take a selfie together and find the similarities yourselves!"

Leng Ning and Jin Yichen immediately pulled out their phones for a selfie.

Then, with their heads together, they observed, "Really, there’s quite a resemblance! How did we not notice before?"
