The Arrogant President's Cute Assistant - Chapter 149 - You Bitch
If she said she wanted to leave right now, Ling Xiaonai would definitely take her away… But now, it was the willful one who was her. Ye Ranxi thought, since she was already here, why should she avoid the two of them? Besides, there was no need to ruin the mood for them.
“It’s fine, having more people to help is great. Xiaonai-Ge, don’t you think so?” Ye Ranxi’s voice was gentler than usual, which made Ling Xiaonai’s heart flutter.
Li Xiaoai and Ye Ranxi were rivals in fashion design, and Ling Xiaonai was well aware of that. Moreover, seeing the jealousy in Li Xiaoai’s eyes, how could he not know what she was thinking?
“Okay.” Ling Xiaonai said indulgently, holding her waist, “Then you go change clothes first. I’ll wait for you outside.”
Wen Nuan smiled; she was afraid Ye Ranxi might leave, but thankfully, she stayed.
That day they had suddenly left the Ling Family, but fortunately, she had discreetly sent someone to find out their whereabouts, which was how she learned they were coming to take their wedding photos today. Just now, when she saw Ye Ranxi wearing that over 200 million blue diamond ring, Wen Nuan almost went mad. Thankfully, she was smart and dragged Li Xiaoai over.
Taking advantage of the moment Ye Ranxi went inside to change, Wen Nuan quickly pulled Li Xiaoai aside. “Xiaoai, what should we do? Ye Ranxi is about to marry my Xiaonai-Ge. How can I ruin their relationship?”
Ling Xiaonai had always been low-key. Besides hearing Ling Xiaonai’s name, she had never seen him in person. Now that she had the chance to meet him, she became even more jealous of Ye Ranxi.
Compared to Ye Ranxi, she believed she was more talented, and compared to Wen Nuan, she was smarter. If Ling Xiaonai had met her first, maybe she would have been the one with him now.
“Xiaoai, did you even hear what I said?” Wen Nuan was getting frantic, pulling Li Xiaoai’s arm a bit harder.
Li Xiaoai impatiently shook off Wen Nuan’s hand. No wonder Ling Xiaonai wouldn’t like a woman like her. Aside from acting cute, she didn’t know anything else. How could Ling Xiaonai possibly fall for someone like that?
“Alright, calm down first. You go help Ye Ranxi change her clothes; I’ll go talk to your Xiaonai-Ge. As long as I can slander Ye Ranxi, maybe he’ll start to dislike her!” Li Xiaoai said.
That seemed like a good approach… After all, Ling Xiaonai wouldn’t listen to her now. If it were Li Xiaoai, he might still believe her.
“Okay, I’ll go first, and I’ll leave the rest to you.”
Li Xiaoai smiled as she walked over to the sofa outside, elegantly sitting down beside Ling Xiaonai.
Today, she wore a fluffy dress and had her hair styled high, putting on an innocent makeup look that made her resemble a recent college graduate. Someone like Ling Xiaonai, who had seen the world of romance, would surely appreciate her pure appearance.
“Mr. Ling, hello. I’m a fashion designer collaborating with Jason. My name is Li Xiaoai, and I’m also a good friend of Wen Nuan,” Li Xiaoai introduced herself politely to Ling Xiaonai.
Li Xiaoai had complained to Jason about Ling Xiaonai before. Initially, Jason preferred Ye Ranxi’s designs and even planned to sign her, but Ling Xiaonai got to her first, so he ended up signing Li Xiaoai instead.
“Did you design all these wedding dresses?” Ling Xiaonai glanced at the wedding gowns in the studio, acknowledging that they were indeed quite nice. Li Xiaoai did have some talent, but compared to Ye Ranxi’s kindness and talent, she was still lacking significantly.
When she heard Ling Xiaonai mention her work, Li Xiaoai smiled gently. “Yes, these wedding dresses are all designed by me. Xiaoxi will look great in them.”
Afterward, Li Xiaoai was just about to stand up to grab a wedding dress suitable for Ye Ranxi when she tripped and fell towards Ling Xiaonai.
Ling Xiaonai hadn’t intended to catch her, but just then, a figure caught his eye. He stood up and instinctively held Li Xiaoai tightly in his arms, his gentle yet firm voice ringing in her ear, “Are you okay?”
Li Xiaoai leaned into Ling Xiaonai’s embrace, resting her hands on his chest. Sensing his refreshing scent, her smile blossomed on her face. “I’m fine, just slipped a bit.”
Her alluring figure and innocent gaze were indeed assets in enticing a man.
Li Xiaoai felt secretly pleased; even someone as exceptional as Ling Xiaonai couldn’t resist her charm. If she had met Ling Xiaonai earlier, she would have been the true Mrs. Ling by now. When would a woman like Ye Ranxi ever have a chance by his side?
“Li Xiaoai!” Just then, Wen Nuan, who had just come out, saw Li Xiaoai gazing up affectionately at Ling Xiaonai. Without hesitation, she marched over and slapped Li Xiaoai across the face. Before Li Xiaoai could react, her face turned bright red, and she stumbled back several steps.
Wen Nuan’s eyes were filled with anger. She had only stepped inside for a moment, and Li Xiaoai was already nestled in Ling Xiaonai’s arms. If she wasn’t there, who knew how Li Xiaoai would try to seduce her Xiaonai-Ge!
“Wen Nuan, let me explain…” Li Xiaoai glanced over at Ling Xiaonai, quickly extricating herself from his embrace and putting on a pitiful, wronged expression.
“I don’t want to hear it! You and Ye…you bitch!” Wen Nuan wanted to include Ye Ranxi in her insults, but with Ling Xiaonai nearby, she bit her tongue and ran towards the door instead.
Li Xiaoai didn’t care about anything else; she rushed after Wen Nuan, grabbing her hand as she tried to explain, “Wen Nuan, listen to me. It’s not what you think!”
The most important thing now was to calm Wen Nuan’s emotions. Wen Nuan was a vital ally for her. Without her support, getting close to Ling Xiaonai would be much more difficult.
Besides, she was now certain that Ling Xiaonai was interested in her as well. If she became the young mistress of Ling Corporation, the wealth and luxury would be endless.
“What does that matter? You were literally leaning on Xiaonai-Ge! Now you expect me to feel sorry for you?” Wen Nuan pushed Li Xiaoai away. “From now on, I won’t ever trust you again. You’re no longer my good friend!”
“Wen Nuan, please listen to me seriously!” Li Xiaoai held onto Wen Nuan, refusing to let her leave. “I really have nothing going on with your Xiaonai-Ge. I just tripped, and he caught me. We’re not what you think we are.”
“Really?” Wen Nuan’s voice softened with doubt. “You’re not lying to me?”
“Why would I lie to you?” Seeing that Wen Nuan was finally beginning to believe her, Li Xiaoai smiled and held her hand. “Look, we’re good friends. How could I be so selfish as to steal Ling Xiaonai from you? Besides, we agreed before that when you get married, I would be your bridesmaid, right?”
In that moment, Wen Nuan finally accepted her words. “Alright, but you need to keep your distance from Xiaonai-Ge. If not, we’ll no longer be friends.”
“Okay, I promise,” Li Xiaoai smiled as she held Wen Nuan’s hand, even though in her heart, she was plotting something else.
If she could win Ling Xiaonai, not only would she overshadow Ye Ranxi in the design world, but she would also enjoy endless riches and wealth… After meeting Ling Xiaonai today, she was even more determined to marry into the Ling Family.
Wen Nuan seemed to remember something. She had rushed out earlier, and now Ling Xiaonai and Ye Ranxi were definitely inside taking wedding photos!
“Li Xiaoai, I got so angry when I saw that diamond ring on Ye Ranxi’s finger. And now Xiaonai-Ge is there taking photos with her. Do you think I’ve lost my chance?” Wen Nuan felt a bit dejected. If they really got married, confronting Ye Ranxi in the future would be impossible.
Li Xiaoai pondered and replied, “Don’t worry, I have a plan. You remember that Zhang Huiwen’s secret was uncovered, right? If Ye Ranxi finds out too, she will definitely tell Ling Xiaonai. By then, you’ll have another supporter in the Ling Family.”
“That’s true. Li Xiaoai, how can you be so clever?!” Wen Nuan smacked her forehead in realization. “Why didn’t I think of that? When they come back, I’ll think of a strategy.”
“Great! So you’re not mad at me anymore, right?” Li Xiaoai feigned a hurt expression.
“Of course not! You’re my best friend!” Wen Nuan joyfully hugged Li Xiaoai. “Let’s head back first, and then we can think of a way to deal with Ye Ranxi.”
Meanwhile, Ye Ranxi came out in her wedding dress and noticed that Wen Nuan and Li Xiaoai were no longer there. She looked around and asked, “Where did Wen Nuan and the others go? They were just here.”
“They left,” Ling Xiaonai casually replied, sitting on the sofa.
They left? Seeing Ling Xiaonai’s inscrutable expression, Ye Ranxi walked over and hugged him. “Did you upset them? After all, Wen Nuan is your sister. It doesn’t seem right to make her leave like that.”
“Today is an important day for us; how could we allow outsiders to be present?” Ling Xiaonai said, admiring her in the strapless long gown, with the diamond necklace he had given her around her neck. Her hair was styled up high, and a few playful strands fell onto her shoulders, making her look like a princess from a fairytale-noble and beautiful.
Ye Ranxi pouted playfully in his arms. “Alright, I know you care about me the most. When are we going to start taking wedding photos? I’m hungry now. Can we hurry up and finish the photos so we can eat?”
“Okay.” Ling Xiaonai picked up the phone nearby and called Jason to come in.
When Jason walked in and saw Ye Ranxi in her beautiful wedding dress, his eyes lit up with admiration. “What a stunning girl!”
“Jason, let’s get started quickly,” Ye Ranxi urged.
Seeing Ling Xiaonai’s slightly jealous demeanor, Ye Ranxi couldn’t help but chuckle. She leaned closer to his ear and teased, “You’re such a protective husband.”
Ling Xiaonai held her even tighter. Observing her stunning beauty, he pecked her on the lips and said, “Just wait until we get home tonight; you’ll see how I deal with you.”
Mentioning ‘dealing with’ made Ye Ranxi obediently quiet. She leaned against him like a koala, letting him hold her without moving an inch.
