Chapter 1240: 1239 So that’s how it is
“Mm, your approach was correct,” Tan Rou fully supported Lan Ning’s actions. If Lan Ning didn’t like Wu Hao, then she shouldn’t accept anything from him, or else things would become complicated later on.
Lan Ning asked worriedly, “But after I returned his things, he still keeps sending messages. I’m not afraid of him bothering me; I’m just afraid that Li Li will find out he likes me and then she’ll get mad at me.”
Lan Ning’s concerns weren’t unfounded, after all, Tan Rou wasn’t Li Li; she couldn’t decide for her.
“How about this, when we go to eat later, you can bring this up and let Li Li make a decision,” Tan Rou suggested, “But you need to understand one thing, once you tell Li Li about this, you can’t be with Wu Hao anymore.”
Lan Ning nodded firmly, “I won’t be with him. I’d rather hang out with you guys than be with a boyfriend. If you guys get married later, I’ll just focus all my attention on work. It’s fine as long as you guys come hang out with me when you’re free.”
Tan Rou respected Lan Ning’s thoughts, “Good. However, if you find someone you like later on, you have to tell us. We’ll be happy for you.”
Lan Ning smiled and nodded solemnly, “Mm, I’ll definitely tell you.”
Meanwhile, Liang Lu and Li Li, who had been out buying clothes, hadn’t seen Tan Rou and the others, so they came back looking for them.
“Why are you guys sitting here?” Li Li quickly approached them, and grabbed Lan Ning and Tan Rou’s arms eagerly, “I just found a set of clothes, come and help me decide.”
Tan Rou gave Lan Ning a look, and understanding her meaning, Lan Ning said, “Li Li, let’s go eat something later, I have something to tell you all.”
Li Li stopped in her tracks, “What is it that you can’t say now?”
Lan Ning said, “You’re buying clothes right now, wouldn’t it waste your time if I spoke now?”
Li Li said with a laugh, “Clothes can be bought anytime. If what you have to say is urgent, then let’s deal with your matter first.”
Lan Ning hesitated again, “Let’s go buy the clothes first, then talk after that’s done.”
Li Li was very curious; if Lan Ning didn’t tell her what was going on, she didn’t even feel like buying clothes anymore, “Lan Ning, just tell me. If you don’t tell me, I’m not going anywhere.” She let go of Lan Ning’s arm and stood there resolutely.
There was a moment of loss in Lan Ning’s heart, and she was very worried that Li Li would sever ties with her after finding out about Wu Hao, “Li Li, I…”
Li Li waited for Lan Ning’s reply, but with Lan Ning’s distressed face, she wouldn’t speak.
Tan Rou patted Lan Ning’s shoulder, encouragingly saying, “Ning Ning, be brave and speak. We’re here for you, and besides, I believe that Li Li is not the kind of person who can’t distinguish right from wrong.”
Li Li was anxious, “What on earth do you want to tell me? Speak up. If you don’t, I’m going to be worried sick.”
Lan Ning clenched her palms and finally opened her mouth to say, “It’s about senior Wu Hao.”
Li Li asked excitedly, “What about him? Has he finally noticed my good qualities?”
“What good qualities do you have?” Liang Lu mocked, “Does having a loud voice count?”
Lan Ning pursed her lips and looked at Li Li before saying after a long while, “Senior Wu Hao said he likes me and wants to be with me.”
Liang Lu had been laughing, but upon hearing Lan Ning’s words, her smile immediately froze, “What did you just say? Did I hear wrong?”
Lan Ning shook her head, feeling distressed, “You didn’t hear wrong, senior Wu Hao is indeed pursuing me, but I didn’t agree.”
Liang Lu turned to look at Li Li, who had a calm expression on her face, but her eyebrows were slightly furrowed as if she was pondering something.
“Li Li, I’m sorry!” Seeing that Li Li remained silent, Lan Ning immediately apologized, “I really didn’t mean it. If I had known earlier that he liked me, I would have stayed far away from him and wouldn’t have been anywhere near him…”
Li Li raised her right hand, making a “pause” gesture, “No wonder he didn’t want to be my boyfriend. It turns out it’s because he likes you. I thought an outstanding person like me, he couldn’t possibly not like me, unless he already had someone he liked.”
