There are many attractive people in this world; she believed Ling Yucheng was definitely not that shallow.
Perhaps Xia Wantang truly possessed some exceptional qualities.
It was impossible for her to completely forget Ling Yucheng all at once, after all, he was the person she had liked since childhood.
But since he had a girlfriend, she could no longer express her feelings as carelessly as before.
Leaving Tengkong, she sighed dejectedly.
Although she already knew that Xia Wantang was Ling Yucheng's girlfriend,
She had still held onto a sliver of hope then, thinking that Xia Wantang wouldn't be able to capture Ling Yucheng's heart so quickly.
But today, the way they looked at each other and spoke told her that they were as intimate as any ordinary couple.
The scene from earlier kept replaying in her mind, and Situ Jing lowered her head with a bitter smile.
Her heart ached, so much that her vision blurred intermittently, making it hard to breathe.
Getting into the car, she calmed herself down and took out her phone to call Situ Jun.
The call was answered quickly, and Situ Jun's tone was tinged with caution.
Ever since he learned that Ling Yucheng had a girlfriend, his sister's temper had become increasingly volatile.
"Hello sis, what's up?"
Situ Jing asked directly, "Do you know what exactly happened between Xia Wantang and Ling Yucheng?"
"No, I don't know," Situ Jun's heart leaped, his pulse quickening.
If his sister found out that he was the reason these two met, his life would be in danger.
Fortunately, Situ Jing was in a bad mood and didn't pay much attention to his tone.
Seeing that he claimed ignorance, she hung up the phone.
Yucheng didn't have many friends, but besides her own brother, it was difficult for her to ask anyone else.
She remembered the surveillance footage she had seen that day.
She desperately wanted to know what had happened that night.
Did they…
Situ Jing's heart felt increasingly heavy.
And then there was the matter online; she had been following the recent hot searches, and she had also been at the Ling family's birthday banquet that day.
Ling Yucheng was truly different towards Xia Wantang.
Was she completely out of the picture?
Situ Jing's face instantly turned ashen.
Situ Jun could tell his sister was in a bad mood, but he didn't dare call her again, fearing he would be pressed for answers about the earlier question.
Yet, he was worried and could only call someone from the law firm.
The law firm informed him that Situ Jing had gone to Tengkong Group.
He immediately understood.
She had probably been stimulated by something involving Ling Yucheng again.
"You guys keep playing, I'm leaving."
At that moment, he was at a pool party with friends, having a great time.
But now, he had no inclination to continue.
"Hey, why are you leaving so soon?"
"Yeah, yeah."
The people behind him tried to keep him, but Situ Jun ignored them.
Xia Wantang came out with water, only to find that the person had already left.
So, she carried the water and sat down on the sofa by herself.
She was a little angry.
Brother Yucheng.
Hmph, calling him so familiarly.
She'd find herself a brother someday too.
Ling Yucheng saw her sitting so far away and couldn't help but glance in her direction several times.
But he could only see her back, her face unclear.
Was she angry?
Her anger made Ling Yucheng a little happy.
Anger meant she was jealous.
Ling Yucheng walked over slowly, suppressing a smile, and said, "I smell something sour, like jealousy."
Xia Wantang was slightly taken aback, realizing her reaction had been a bit excessive.
She felt even more awkward and irritated, her voice involuntarily rising.
"There's no smell."
"I smell it."
Ling Yucheng sat down beside Xia Wantang and deliberately teased her, "Call me Yucheng Gege, let me hear it, okay?"
Xia Wantang said indignantly, "Don't you have a little sister who calls you Gege? Why do you need me to call you that?"
"Still saying you're not jealous, hmm?"
Ling Yucheng couldn't help but curve his lips into a smile. His voice was deep and alluring, his Adam's apple bobbing as he spoke, incredibly sexy and captivating.
Xia Wantang felt her entire body melt, but the knot of frustration in her heart hadn't untangled.
She was Ling Yucheng's legitimate girlfriend; why couldn't she be jealous?
Wouldn't anyone be jealous if another woman called their boyfriend "Gege"?
"I don't like her. Although we grew up together, I've never reciprocated her affection and have always clearly rejected her."
Hearing his explanation, Xia Wantang felt a lot better.
But she was still not entirely happy.
Because even so, without a blood relation, they shouldn't call each other brother and sister after growing up.
And she already had a girlfriend.
Whether it was a man or a woman, most people wouldn't accept it, would they!
If your girlfriend was called "Mei Mei" by someone else, would you be happy about it!
"Alright, don't be angry."
Ling Yucheng moved closer, looking at her profile, his eyes darkening at her ear, his Adam's apple moving up and down.
Xia Wantang still had her back to him, her expression complex.
She seemed to like Ling Yucheng even more.
She was clear-headed enough now to confirm that she was indeed jealous.
Uncontrollably jealous.
Her inner struggle began again.
She did like Ling Yucheng, but…
Before she could overthink, a pair of large hands wrapped around her from behind, holding her completely captive.
Then his shoulder dipped, and the man's magnetic voice echoed in her ear.
"Tangtang, be good. Don't be angry anymore, okay?"
Xia Wantang immediately trembled as if struck by electricity, followed by a wave of numbness spreading through her body. Her heart raced, her cheeks flushed crimson, and her limbs felt weak.
Ling Yucheng held her tighter. The person in his arms was like a puddle of water, soft and boneless.
Xia Wantang no longer had the mind to think about anything else. She said angrily, "You have a girlfriend, you shouldn't let others call you Gege."
"Okay," Ling Yucheng smiled gently, his eyes filled with doting affection. He leaned in closer and chuckled, "She's not my girlfriend anymore."
Xia Wantang turned her head in confusion. Before she could ask what he meant, she heard him say.
"She's my wife. Did you forget we already got the marriage certificate?"
Xia Wantang snorted, but her beautiful eyes were full of smiles.
Ling Yucheng directly lifted her and sat her on his lap, cupping her face and looking at her with deep affection.
Xia Wantang was startled and instinctively placed her hands on his chest.
But she could only watch as his face drew closer and closer.
"Bang."
Just as the two were locked in a passionate embrace, the door to the CEO's office was violently pushed open with a bang.
Accompanied by a male voice shouting, "Ling Yucheng, you've made my sister… "
The voice abruptly stopped, and an awkward atmosphere filled the air.
Ling Yucheng raised his eyes displeasedly and looked coldly at the newcomer.
Xia Wantang, meanwhile, shrunk into Ling Yucheng's arms like an ostrich.
"You guys…"
"Continue, continue."
Situ Jun covered his face and ran away.
He was sure that if he had stayed a second longer, Ling Yucheng would have thrown him off the 108th floor.
