Chapter 446: Don’t Guess a Woman’s Mind

In the end, however, Lin Anning accepted Wang Chenning’s invitation.

“It really has been a while since I’ve been to Li Garden Hall. Since you invited me, I’ll come by for a visit!”

By the time Lin Anning arrived at Li Garden Hall dressed in men’s clothing, Li Mingchao had already left.

Instead of brazenly barging in, Lin Anning drove to the entrance and sent Wang Chenning a message.

Wang Chenning sent Zheng Qiuhang to the entrance to greet Lin Anning.

Wang Chenning had sent her to welcome Lin Anning, and when Lin Anning saw her, her expression became rather unnatural. At that, Zheng Qiuhang seemed to understand something.

A pang of jealousy soured in her heart, but the smile on her face remained bright.

“Miss Lin, Brother Ning is waiting for you in the West Lake Pavilion. Please, follow me!”

“Thank you, President Zheng!” Lin Anning said, then took out a pair of glasses, put them on, and followed Zheng Qiuhang into the hall.

Zheng Qiuhang was tactful enough not to bring up any other matters. She simply told Lin Anning to visit the hall more often in the future.

She said Lin Anning could just look for her directly, and she would make all the arrangements.

As long as Wang Chenning wasn’t busy, he often came here to relax, so they could all get together for a chat when they had time.

Zheng Qiuhang’s display of goodwill made Lin Anning sigh in relief.

She had caused a scene at Li Garden Hall before and had an unpleasant run-in with Zheng Qiuhang.

She was quite happy that Zheng Qiuhang wasn’t holding a grudge.

After leading Lin Anning to the pavilion where Wang Chenning was waiting, Zheng Qiuhang took her leave.

“I just got back, and I have a lot to do today, plus I have plans tonight. That’s why I had you come over!” Seeing Lin Anning walk toward him hesitantly, Wang Chenning stood up and watched her with a broad smile. “What’s this? You’re in this outfit again today?”

“It’s just more convenient for getting around!” Lin Anning said, her face slightly flushed as she looked at Wang Chenning. “I really am feeling a little unwell, but it’s nothing serious!”

“Alright then. Let’s go inside. I’ll take a look for you!” Wang Chenning took Lin Anning’s hand and led her directly into the inner room.

Lin Anning was a little nervous, glancing toward the door as she followed Wang Chenning.

“No one will dare disturb us without my permission,” Wang Chenning said quietly, sensing her worry and offering a word of comfort.

“Okay,” Lin Anning nodded, tightening her grip on Wang Chenning’s hand.

Once inside, Wang Chenning locked the door from within. Then he pulled Lin Anning into his arms and kissed her directly.

“So where are you feeling unwell?” Wang Chenning asked softly after kissing her until she was breathless. “Actually, even if you don’t say it, I can probably guess.”

Lin Anning’s pretty face instantly turned crimson, but she didn’t act shy. Instead, she pouted slightly and said, “Since you already know, then you’d better help me get properly ‘adjusted’!”

With that, she took off her outer clothes.

Wang Chenning helped her with the rest.

Perhaps it was because she found the situation more thrilling this way, or maybe because it had been so long since she’d seen Wang Chenning, but Lin Anning was particularly passionate today.

About ten minutes later, she was nestled tenderly in Wang Chenning’s arms, murmuring softly, “I hated you so much when I first met you, but now I think about you every day. Am I a lost cause?”

Wang Chenning gently caressed her smooth skin and asked with a smile, “Are you saying you want me to marry you?”

Lin Anning looked at Wang Chenning in surprise. “If I wanted to marry you, would you?”

Wang Chenning didn’t answer directly. Instead, he countered with a question of his own, “But I don’t want to get married before I’m thirty. Would you wait for me?”

Lin Anning sighed. “So many people like you. There’s Zhao Xiao’an, Yang Xiaofei, and your President Zheng, and even Luo Yuqing and Li Yanxian. I think you’ll definitely choose one of them, but you definitely won’t choose me. Can we not talk about this?”

Wang Chenning nodded.

A moment later, Lin Anning spoke again. “I wanted to see you today because there’s something I need to tell you, a few things I want to ask, and I also need your help with something.”

“We’ll talk about that in a bit,” Wang Chenning said with a grin. “You’ve been so good, you deserve another reward.”

Lin Anning’s pretty face flushed red again, and her whole body seemed to grow even more delicate and pliant.

Another twenty-odd minutes passed before the two of them finally got dressed and started to talk business.

Her face bright and her complexion as tender and vibrant as a peach blossom, Lin Anning told Wang Chenning about the recent events in Yandu. Then she mentioned what she found strange. “My brother was also targeted, but he didn’t run into any major trouble, and they didn’t come after me either. I find it very odd!”

Wang Chenning replied meaningfully, “Maybe it’s because you and your brother have become better people, so there are fewer who can’t stand the sight of you.”

Lin Anning’s eyes widened. She sensed a hidden meaning in Wang Chenning’s words but was tactful enough not to press him for details.

“I admire you more and more,” she said, looking at Wang Chenning for a few moments before continuing in a low voice. “You effortlessly became the biggest sensation on the internet, and when you go to a new place, you’re still held in such high regard by so many people. You sign so many cooperation agreements so casually… no one can compare to you. Even my dad and my grandpa have been talking about you, saying your future achievements will be limitless!”

“Your grandpa and your dad are talking about me too?” Wang Chenning was surprised, then he asked Lin Anning with a grin, “Are they thinking of meeting me?”

“I suggested it to them. I said they shouldn’t think about getting revenge on you. Instead, they should build a good relationship with you and find ways to collaborate. They seemed to have listened!” Lin Anning asked Wang Chenning, slightly shy, “If they wanted to meet you, would you be willing to see them?”
