Bai Xue's eyes brimmed with an unmistakable sense of pride. She harbored no interest in this insipid senior, but fate had intertwined her with Jiang Ling'er's defender. How could she allow these two to part ways and disappoint that audacious Jiang Ling'er?
"Brother Fa, does your friend hold a fondness for Jiang Ling'er? Is that why he doesn't like me?" Bai Xue inquired, a hint of vulnerability coloring her voice.
"That's impossible. Don't think too much about it," he reassured.
"Ling'er remains exceedingly amiable," Bai Xue retorted, a tinge of injustice tinging her words. "She navigates harmonious relationships effortlessly. Else, why would she forge a friendship with Miss Wen?"
Wang's brows furrowed. "Maybe they're just superficial friends."
After all, Jiang Ling'er was a notorious pariah. How could the esteemed Wen Family's eldest daughter have taken a fancy to her?
