Chapter 244 Enemies

At noon that day, Sun specially stayed with Zhang Jian for lunch.

There were separate seats for men and women. Sun and Ling Jingyan and Ling Jingshu sat at one seat, while Ling Xiao and Zhang Jian sat at another seat.

After lunch, Mrs. Sun smiled and said: "I am old and my mental strength is not as strong as yours. I always have to rest for an hour after lunch every day. I won't spend more time with you."

Zhang Jian hurriedly smiled and said: "Axiao and I had a very interesting chat. He said he would show me around the Ling Mansion. It's okay for Auntie to just go and rest."

Mrs. Sun nodded with a smile and said casually: "A-Yan, you and A-Shu have nothing to do. Please accompany Mr. Zhang for a walk!"

Ling Jingyan was not very happy and was about to open her mouth to refuse, but Ling Jingshu already smiled and agreed: "Okay."

Ling Jingyan blinked at Ling Jingshu. What's the point of accompanying this annoying guy! Why did you take it in one bite?

Ling Jingshu pretended not to notice Ling Jingyan's wink, turned to look at Zhang Jian, and smiled politely: "Mr. Zhang, it is winter now, and most of the flowers and plants in the garden have withered. However, we have planted a lot of them in the Ling Mansion. Plum blossoms. Now is the time when plum blossoms are in full bloom. How about going to the garden to enjoy the plum blossoms together? "

Naturally, Zhang Jian would not object, and cupped his hands with a smile: "That's fine, then I'll be disrespectful."

In terms of appearance, Zhang Jian is not very handsome, but he is handsome and upright. He has a smile on his face, is funny and easy-going, has a great demeanor, and is quite popular.

Ling Jingshu nodded secretly in her heart.

Zhang Jian and Ling Jingyan have similar family backgrounds and similar personalities, so they are quite compatible. The eldest aunt Sun's first impression of him was also very good, otherwise she would not have taken the initiative to create opportunities for Ling Jingyan and Zhang Jian to get along. Maybe, Zhang Jian is Ling Jingyan's destined lover!

Obviously, Ling Jingyan hasn't thought of this level yet.

Without Mrs. Sun present, Ling Jingyan's sharp tongue showed up again, and she was not so polite when talking to Zhang Jian: "Aren't you going to see the plum blossoms? Why don't you leave quickly! You can leave after appreciating the plum blossoms."

Zhang Jian was courteous and courteous when facing others. As soon as he saw Ling Jingyan's lively and cute face, he immediately threw the mask behind his head: "Miss Ling, I haven't even arrived in the garden, but you are still thinking about me." This is not the way to treat guests!"

Ling Jingyan glared at him: "I'm already polite enough to an uninvited guest like you."

Zhang Jian sighed helplessly: "That's all! Since you hate me so much, I'll just leave now."

After saying that, he actually turned around and walked out.

Ling Jingyan: "..."

She just said it so casually, why did he take it seriously? ! If she really let him leave like this, it would be strange for Mrs. Sun to get bloody and furious if she didn't scold him after knowing it!

"Hey, hey, hey, Zhang Jian! Wait!"

When she thought of this, Ling Jingyan became anxious and hurriedly picked up her skirt and chased after her.

Zhang Jian was just pretending, but he couldn't bear to leave like this. Hearing this, he stopped and said, "Miss Ling, why are you calling me?"

Ling Jingyan coughed and forced a smile: "Actually, I just said it casually. Why did you take it seriously?"

Zhang Jian kept snickering in his heart, but he let out a long sigh: "Since you don't want to see me, why should I insist on staying at the Ling family and not leaving? How can I, Zhang Jian, be such a shameless person? !”

It has all risen to the level of "shame".

Was her attitude just now really bad and excessive? !

Ling Jingyan immediately reflected on what she had just done, and then apologized with guilt: "I'm sorry, I just spoke impulsively without thinking. You, sir, don't take it to heart. You must admire the plum blossoms before leaving... No, no. No, after admiring the plum blossoms, there are rockeries, rocks, bridges and flowing water in the garden. It’s not too late to leave after dinner.”

Zhang Jian felt happy in his heart, but he pretended to be hesitant on his face: "This is not good! It's my first time as a guest, and I need you to stay with me for the whole day. I feel really bad about it."

"Nothing to regret." Ling Jingyan responded without hesitation: "Anyway, I stay in the inner house all day long with nothing to do. I'm actually very happy to have you as a guest."

At this time, all she wanted to do was coax Zhang Jian to stay, and Ling Jingyan didn't care whether her words were appropriate.

Zhang Jian then "reluctantly" agreed: "Since you sincerely invite me to stay, I won't leave. I'm not someone who doesn't know what to do. If you don't like me at any time and want me to leave, Just open your mouth..."

"No, no. I think you are very pleasing to the eye, so why would I ask you to leave! Just rest assured." Ling Jingyan assured her.

Only then did Zhang Jian smile with satisfaction, like a cat that had stolen a fish, cunning and proud.

Ling Jingyan also noticed something was wrong at this time.

Was she just... deceived by Zhang Jian again?

…

Siblings Ling Jingshu and Ling Xiao were watching the show with great interest.

"Ah Shu," Ling Xiao leaned toward Ling Jingshu's ear, his low voice full of curiosity: "Tell me, when will cousin Yan find out that she has been deceived by Zhang Jian again?"

Ling Jingshu suppressed her laughter and responded in a low voice: "You should soon realize that something is wrong. However, even if you understand, she will not fall out again. You can't really drive away the guests!"

Ling Jingyan was a bit more outspoken, but actually she had the softest heart.

Zhang Jian also took advantage of Ling Jingyan's temperament and used this trick.

Facts have proved that this trick is indeed very effective for Ling Jingyan.

Ling Jingyan muttered to herself for a moment, and really stopped thinking about it. She turned around and waved to Ling Jingshu and Ling Xiao: "Don't stand there, both of you. Let's go to the garden together."

Ling Jingshu and Ling Xiao smiled and responded, and walked over hand in hand.

The two siblings walked side by side intentionally or unintentionally, and Ling Jingyan had to get closer to Zhang Jian.

When they arrived in the garden, Ling Jingyan introduced the scenery while walking: "There are many peonies planted in our garden. This is a peony garden, but it's a pity that the season is not here yet, and we have to wait until April next year to hold a meeting. There is a rockery over there. Go around it and walk forward, and you can see plum blossoms..."

The winter sun was less warm, and it was warm and comfortable on the body.

From time to time, Ling Jingyan's lively and playful voice came to my ears. When I turned my head, Ling Jingyan's sweet and charming smile came into my eyes.

Zhang Jian suddenly felt that the sun was particularly bright today. But no matter how bright the sun was, it was not as sweet as the girl's smile.

His heart, which had been silent for eighteen years, began to beat quietly, and his heartbeat was much faster than usual.

At this moment, he knew very clearly that he had fallen in love with this kind, lively and lovely girl.
