Chapter 230: Chapter 226: It Really Is a Misunderstanding However, Nanrong Wanqing showed no reaction, as if she had not heard his calling. Seeing that she did not wake up, Ling Chen gave a sly smile and quietly slipped his hand under the quilt, wrapping it around her delicate body. His large hand slowly slid up from her lower abdomen, teasing her skin. Not sure whether it was the unusual sensation from her body that she felt, but Nanrong Wanqing’s body trembled slightly. Feeling her stir, Ling Chen’s instinctual masculine side grew more rampant, almost overcome with the impulse to take things further right there and then. Under his gentle movements, Nanrong Wanqing finally reacted, twisting softly and her breathing became increasingly rapid. "Wanqing, stop sleeping, I..." Ling Chen leaned towards her ear, whispering softly. Before he could finish, Nanrong Wanqing had already turned her head, her sleepy eyes focusing on him. Their eyes met, and Ling Chen was momentarily taken aback, his mind seemingly going blank. "Ah!" Suddenly, a shrill scream pierced the air, and Nanrong Wanqing in the quilt delivered a kick at Ling Chen, trying to kick him off the bed. "Hooligan!" "I... I’m not... Ouch!" Ling Chen clutched at the hit area, a pained expression on his face. It wasn’t Nanrong Wanqing... no, it should be Su Lin, this girl, who had kicked him in a particularly sensitive spot. And she hadn’t held back at all. Snap! The lights turned on, and the bedroom lit up immediately. Su Lin sat up clutching the quilt, her face a mix of shame and anger, her eyes nearly spitting fire. However, when she realized it was Ling Chen, her expression suddenly froze, and she stuttered, "Why... why is it... you? Didn’t you leave?" "I have my difficulties, I can’t talk about it yet." Ling Chen said with a pained look, changing the subject, "Lady Su, there was no need for such a heavy hand; you nearly ended the lineage of the Ling Family." "I... I..." Su Lin, looking at where his hand was, her face flushed, unsure of what to say. No, that’s not right! She suddenly came to a realization, it seemed she was the one being taken advantage of. While she was asleep, she felt a tingling sensation like someone caressing her. She thought it was a dream, but upon waking, realized it was no dream but this man before her causing the mischief. Thinking that her private parts had been wantonly played with by this man, her face once again flushed with shame and anger. "Tell me, why are you in Wanqing’s room?" She wondered inwardly; wasn’t this guy supposed to have quit his job? What was he doing in the Nanrong Family’s home, let alone in Nanrong Wanqing’s boudoir? "Lady Su, that’s a question I should be asking you. This is Wanqing’s room. What are you doing here instead of sleeping in your own room?" Ling Chen was full of grievances. He had come to meet Nanrong Wanqing, but who would have expected such an incident to happen. "Is there anything wrong with sleeping together with Wanqing tonight?" Su Lin snorted lightly, "You haven’t answered my question yet." "I..." Just as Ling Chen was about to speak, the bedroom door was pushed open from outside. Soon after, Nanrong Wanqing entered, pushing a wheelchair. "Wanqing!" Su Lin exclaimed, hurriedly hopping off the bed barefoot and pointing at Ling Chen, pouting as she complained, "Wanqing, you must stand up for me, this jerk... he... he took advantage of me." "I... didn’t..." Ling Chen quickly waved his hands in defense, internally lamenting. If he had known it was her, he would never have taken such advantage. However, he had to admit, the girl had quite a nice feel. Nanrong Wanqing looked at Su Lin, then at Ling Chen, a hint of helplessness flashing across her beautiful eyes. She had been working overtime in the study, dealing with company matters, and had forgotten to contact Ling Chen. Had she informed him earlier, this incident might not have happened. "Wanqing." Hearing Su Lin’s voice ringing in her ears, Nanrong Wanqing came back to her senses and shot Ling Chen an annoyed glance, her pretty face flushed with color. This man was too impatient; he didn’t even bother to check who it was before making his move. Feeling her reproachful gaze, Ling Chen shrugged his shoulders. The room had been pitch dark at the time; how could he have known that the person in bed was Su Lin? "Alright, don’t be angry," Nanrong Wanqing soothed. "You go back to your room first, I’ll come to find you in a bit." "But..." "I know, you won’t suffer any loss for this. Go on!" Su Lin reluctantly nodded, giving Ling Chen a fierce glare before turning and walking out of the room. Seeing her leave, Ling Chen let out a sigh of relief and flopped down onto the bed, giving Nanrong Wanqing a wry smile and spread his hands, "You can’t really blame me for this, I thought it was you, and so..." Before he could finish his explanation, Nanrong Wanqing’s pretty face had already turned red with anger, as delicate as a blooming flower, she reprimanded him, "You still have the nerve to say it." This annoying guy, it sounded like if it had been her in bed, he felt he had the right to take liberties with her. Ling Chen chuckled awkwardly, "Okay, okay, I won’t talk about it. So... how are you planning to explain things to her?" Nanrong Wanqing rubbed her temple with some headache, this matter was indeed a bit difficult to explain. "It’s all your fault," she looked at Ling Chen with no good humor, "You’d better go back first, I’ll explain things to her clearly." "Then... shall I come over tomorrow night?" Nanrong Wanqing’s face blushed, "We’ll see." Ling Chen chuckled mischievously, secretly thinking ’what a game’, then stood up, walked over to her, and gently kissed her smooth cheek. In a soft voice, he said, "I’ll leave first then. Please apologize to Su Lin for me, I really didn’t mean to take advantage of her." Watching Ling Chen leave through the balcony, Nanrong Wanqing touched her cheek where his kiss had just landed, the corners of her mouth lifted slightly, revealing a sweet yet helpless smile. "Wanqing." Just then, Su Lin suddenly pushed the door open and walked in, disbelief in her eyes as she looked at her, filled with confusion. "Weren’t you going back to your room?" Su Lin shook her head; she had sensed that something was amiss earlier, so she had been hiding outside the door, eavesdropping. When she heard the conversation between Ling Chen and her cousin, she was shocked and couldn’t calm down for a long time. Her own cousin had actually been with Ling Chen... She really couldn’t understand why her cousin would fall for him. "Wanqing, are you and Ling Chen..." She opened her mouth, finding it hard to speak. Nanrong Wanqing hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly, "I know it’s hard for you to accept. Actually... I never expected that so many things would happen between him and me. Lin, I hope you can keep this secret for me for now, and don’t tell anyone else." "Why?" "Don’t ask so many questions; there are some things I’m not very clear about either. Just pretend that nothing happened just now, and that you didn’t see anyone." Looking at Nanrong Wanqing’s pleading eyes, despite the numerous doubts in her heart, Su Lin agreed.
