Chapter 103: Shipping the CP

I originally wanted to spend a few days in M Country, but I didn't expect Zhou Yinhe to get injured, so the plan was disrupted.

After his injury had mostly healed, Wen Ling and Zhou Yinhe went to visit Zhou Yinhe's small unit and then returned together to Hua Guo.

Just after landing, Chu Yao called.

At that moment, Wen Ling had just gotten into the car back to Lang Po Wan, while Zhou Yinhe was taken back to the Zhou Family by Ning Qing and Zhou Shuanglin; after all, his older siblings hadn't been properly looking after him, so going to Lang Po Wan would be inconvenient.

Seeing Chu Yao's incoming call, Wen Ling raised her eyebrows but still answered.

"Why haven't you replied to my messages these past few days?"

As soon as the call connected, Chu Yao's aggrieved question came through; Wen Ling laughed and said, "I went back to M Country these past few days, I was too busy—what a coincidence, I just landed and you called."

Chu Yao hehe-hehe laughed mysteriously and said, "Because I can tell fortunes."

"Is that so?" Wen Ling glanced at Fu Huahua, who had come trotting out from the airport, and said softly, "I think I saw a sneaky little girl following me."

"……" Chu Yao remained silent for a long time, then gave an embarrassed smile.

Wen Ling opened the car door, got out, walked around the pillar straight to Fu Huahua's back, patted her shoulder, and gave Fu Huahua a big fright.

Seeing it was Wen Ling, Fu Huahua embarrassingly scratched her head.

"Um, Ah Ling, I wasn't just at a concert in H Country, was I? I just got back and ran into you."

Wen Ling said to her, "Did your driver come to pick you up? Do you want me to give you a ride?"

Fu Huahua nodded vigorously, secretly messaged her driver to leave, then jogged over and got into the car with Wen Ling.

Once in the car, Wen Ling chatted with Zhou Yinhe while Fu Huahua looked around; suddenly she felt something poke her waist, she reached down and felt it, and to her surprise pulled out a men's watch.

"Ah Ling, is this your watch?" Fu Huahua handed the watch to Wen Ling with some doubt.

Wen Ling took it, glanced at it casually, then tossed it into her bag.

"It's Zhou Yinhe's; I guess it fell into the car sometime."

Fu Huahua gasped, her face suddenly turning red.

What could cause someone to take off the watch and put it in the car.

Why?

Why!

Ahhhhhhh——

Wen Ling glanced at her sideways, frowned, and said, "Stop it, what are you thinking about?"

Fu Huahua covered her mouth, her big eyes sparkling as she looked at Wen Ling, and muttered, "I'm not thinking about anything."

Wen Ling frowned slightly but said nothing, because her phone was vibrating wildly in her hand.

Zhou Yinhe bombarded Wen Ling with messages like a resentful woman.

【Why didn't you take me with you?】

【Do you know that when you're not around, my parents are attacking me without any restraint?】

【Will you come pick me up?】

Wen Ling couldn't help laughing, replied with an expression telling him to behave, then put away her phone, lowered the car seat a bit, closed her eyes, and rested.

Fu Huahua glanced at her, lowered her head turning the phone screen away, and tapped out several messages with a pattering sound.

Wen Ling's eyes opened slightly; in her peripheral vision she saw that scene and let out a helpless sigh.

【Did you know? I found Zhou Yinhe's watch tossed on the car seat in Ah Ling's car.】

Chu Yao: 【Wow wow wow.】

As expected of best friends, their minds connected in that instant.

Fu Huahua was heading back to the Fu Family; coincidentally, the Fu Family villa is not far from Lang Po Wan, and as she got out of the car she still wistfully looked at Wen Ling.

"Ah Ling, can I usually come over to play? I'm currently living at my parents' place, which is very close to you."

Wen Ling chuckled lightly: "Sure."

"Then I'll come over again tonight to play! Bring Chu Yao! You go home and rest well first."

After saying that, Fu Huahua didn't wait for Wen Ling's reaction, turned around, dragged her suitcase, and ran off.

Wen Ling opened her mouth, about to say she couldn't tonight, because Zhou Yinhe had just sent a message saying he would come back to see her tonight.

Never mind, Wen Ling told the driver to drive.

Back in Lang Po Wan, Wen Ling held Hehe, who was being cloying for a while, then went back to her room to take a bath and catch up on sleep.

In the evening, Wen Ling still hadn't woken up; Fu Huahua and Chu Yao had already arrived at Lang Po Wan, Zhou Aunt opened the door for them, and the two made her laugh uncontrollably.

Wen Ling was able to wake up only because of Zhou Yinhe's phone call.

"I'll come find you after I finish eating; remember to wait for me."

Still half-asleep, Wen Ling hummed in response, and Zhou Yinhe hung up.

After Wen Ling finally woke up, she had long forgotten Zhou Yinhe's earlier call; she scratched her head, dragged her still-tired body to wash up, yawning as she went downstairs, and when she saw Fu Huahua and Chu Yao she still couldn't quite react, blinking blankly.

Hehe was being passed back and forth between Chu Yao and Fu Huahua's arms, annoyed to the point of irritation, unable to extend its claws to scratch, lying with a look of utter despair in Chu Yao's embrace.

Seeing Wen Ling, Hehe struggled out of Chu Yao's arms, shot like a little cannonball into Wen Ling's embrace, meowing nonstop, as if accusing the two of bullying the cat too much.

Wen Ling helped smooth its fur, letting it cling to her as it stood on her shoulder.

"How did you guys come so early? I just woke up."

Chu Yao stepped forward and affectionately hugged Wen Ling's arm, explaining, "We knew you were still resting, so we came early to wait for you."

Zhou Aunt laughed as she stood up, having just learned the two young ladies' tastes; although the house had prepared dishes, it lacked some they liked, so she said to Wen Ling, "Ah Ling, I'm going grocery shopping with them; do you want anything else to eat?"

Zhou Aunt has a habit of writing the day's menu on the small whiteboard in the dining room every evening.

Wen Ling shook her head; when she returned home she had seen the menu in the dining room, and it was all food she liked.

Zhou Aunt was about to head out when Wen Ling suddenly remembered something and called out, "Zhou Aunt, please buy some mangosteen and lychee; Zhou Yinhe is coming tonight and he likes to eat them."

"Yes, I bought some this morning; there's a bit too much to keep here, it's all stored at our place—I'll have someone bring it over later."

Wen Ling nodded, and as she withdrew her gaze she saw two people with sparkling eyes.

But they cleverly didn't say it in front of Wen Ling, only hehe laughed and withdrew their gaze, frantically signaling with their eyes.

Wen Ling crossed her arms and stood before the two, seriously saying: "Are you isolating me? Is there anything I can't hear?"

Chu Yao, Fu Huahua: "……"

The two gave a dry laugh, and Chu Yao spoke first: "We're just shipping you and the Fifth Young Master of the Zhou family; we were afraid you wouldn't let us ship, so we didn't dare tell you."

Wen Ling guessed roughly, shrugged, took a bottle of ice water and drank a few sips.

Her attitude unclear, Chu Yao and Fu Huahua felt a bit uneasy, then heard Wen Ling say: "Go ahead and ship."

"Yay!" the two shouted in unison.

Wen Ling stretched, feeling bored just sitting, so she invited the two to play in the water on the basement level.

Seeing Wen Ling swim a few laps skillfully, Chu Yao was stunned.

"So that time, you really jumped in yourself, huh."

?? I'm sorry, I got carried away with shipping the reverse love, forgot to type, sorry.
