Scheming and Seduction in Quick Transmigration: The Heroine's Beloved is Mine

They were all stunned, let alone Yue Baiqing.

Upon seeing this, Yue Baiqing finally stopped lounging in the tent waiting for Jiang Jihe to finish grilling the food and stepped forward to pull Wen Zhining away.

"What are you doing, Wen Zhining? You jumped into my boyfriend's arms? Don't you have any men to hold you?"

The words were harsh, so Wen Yuesheng temporarily put the matter aside and frowned as he began to berate Le Baiqing:

"Who are you talking to? Why are you pulling my sister? Ask your boyfriend! He's the one who hugged her. My sister hasn't even said anything yet, and you're already chattering away and starting a fight!"

"Can't stand being hugged by others? Old Jiang has never hugged you, so why is he so grumpy? Oh right, you were the one who threw yourself at him, how could Old Jiang possibly hug you?"

Regardless of right or wrong, Wen Yuesheng will always stand on Wen Zhining's side.

Wen Zhining's tongue seemed to go numb, and she couldn't utter a single word. All she could do was anxiously wave her hands to tell them to stop arguing.

Jiang Jihe pulled Le Baiqing aside, his expression somewhat unpleasant.

Before leaving, he glanced at Wen Zhining, seemingly still worried about her.

The two started arguing again, or rather, it was Yue Baiqing arguing, and her voice was very loud.

"What does her burned tongue have to do with you? Can't you tell she's injured? Even if she is, she wouldn't be crying like a spoiled brat. Who is she trying to seduce!"

"Can't you see that?!"

"Bai Qing." Jiang Jihe spoke, his tone becoming firmer, his voice lowered, and his lips tightened.

"I was close to her, and she got burned, so I had to check on her. It's nothing serious."

"Don't talk nonsense about seduction. She's very innocent. Don't say things like that in front of her and make her overthink."

"Don't define Ningning with your own ideas. I don't want her to hear anything like that; it will make her unhappy."

Rong Jingshuo looked at the two people arguing and suddenly recalled Sunday night.

After Jiang Jihe escorted Wen Zhining home.

That night, Rong Jingshuo saw Jiang Jihe and Le Baiqing arguing in the grove.

Le Baiqing questioned Jiang Jihe about why he spent five thousand to give Wen Zhining a hidden prize and also took her to the night market.

"Are you interested in her?!"

At that moment, Rong Jingshuo clearly heard Jiang Jihe's voice, soft yet carrying a restraint he himself was unaware of, reply:

"I only see her as my brother's sister."

"She liked that doll, and it wasn't expensive at five thousand. Xue Peng wanted me to bring some food from the night market back, so I gave her the doll and gave her a ride to eat there."

Le Baiqing didn't know whether he believed her or not, but she didn't investigate further. She just told him to stay away from Wen Zhining in the future.

"Bai Qing, even if you are my girlfriend, you have no right to interfere with my friendships."

Jiang Jihe left after he finished speaking.

The two were locked in a cold war for a day. On Tuesday, Le Baiqing went to find Jiang Jihe, and without mentioning the argument again, she went with him to the cafeteria for lunch after class.

And now, they're arguing about the same thing again.

Le Baiqing was fixated on Wen Zhining's matter, while Jiang Jihe kept turning his head to look at them, his gaze always falling on Wen Zhining, showing great concern.

Finally, Jiang Jihe said to Le Baiqing, "You're too hostile towards Ningning. If you don't like her, don't come to places where she is in the future. Everyone had a bad time, and she wasn't happy either."

"I'll call a car to take you away. Before you leave, apologize to her; what you just said was too much."

Jiang Jihe took out his phone to hail a taxi, but she stopped him, saying, "I want to stay."

Without looking at Jiang Jihe's reaction, he walked towards Wen Zhining.

Wen Zhining opened her mouth for Wen Yuesheng to check her tongue. It had been in her mouth with cold water for a short time and was fine.

"Are you really alright?"

"It's alright now, I can't feel it anymore."

Seeing Yue Baiqing approaching, Wen Zhining quickly said, "Sister, don't argue with brother, it's all my fault."

"I'm too spoiled. I cry over the smallest things. My brother felt sorry for me, so he hugged me and comforted me."

"What are you saying!" Wen Yuesheng patted her head. "You're not spoiled at all. I'll pamper you and indulge you. You can do whatever you want."

"Some people say you're outspoken and that you annoy me just looking at you," Wen Yuesheng said sarcastically.

"Brother." Seeing Jiang Jihe coming over, Wen Zhining quickly pulled him over, opened her mouth, and said, "Look, I'm fine now, so don't argue with my sister anymore."

Jiang Jihe stroked her cheek, slightly parting the corners of his mouth to see more clearly inside, confirming that she was really alright, and smiled.

"It's good that Ningning is alright."

Then he looked at Yue Baiqing, his voice still gentle, "Baiqing."

Le Baiqing bent down and said to Wen Zhining, "I'm sorry."

"I was being too blunt just now, I'm sorry."

"It's alright, sister. Just don't argue with brother. I really hope you two will be together for two hundred years." Wen Zhining, with dimples on her cheeks, helped the woman up.

"My sister and I just met, so it's normal for us to have some friction. Brother, please don't talk about her." Wen Zhining said to Wen Yuesheng.

Wen Yuesheng still didn't have a good look on his face. "Eat your eggplant, don't be in such a hurry."

"Okay." Wen Zhining smiled and shook his hand.

Xue Peng didn't say a word the whole time. He looked at Le Baiqing, then at Jiang Jihe, and finally at Wen Zhining, deep in thought.

Jiang Jihe is acting strangely.

The outdoor scenery is beautiful, a gentle breeze is blowing, and it's so pleasant to enjoy barbecue and milk tea.

Until Wen Zhining accidentally ate some of it and it ended up on her skirt.

There was a stain on her white dress. She took out a tissue and tried to wipe it, but it didn't come off, and she wasn't in a good mood.

Le Baiqing across from her almost burst out laughing.

Jiang Jihe got up and left.

Wen Yuesheng helped her wipe it with wet wipes, but in the end, there was no other way, so he said, "Let's take it back and throw it in the washing machine."

Jiang Jihe returned at that moment, carrying a gift bag from a well-known and expensive clothing brand.

"Ningning, try on this dress." He took the dress out of the bag.

He held a sky-blue and white tie-dye sundress in his hand, which caught Wen Zhining's attention.

"This dress is so pretty." She took it. "Brother, how come you have a dress readily available? Is this for my sister? I can't accept it."

"No, I saw this on the street a few days ago. I thought it would suit you, so I bought it, thinking I'd give it to you when you're on vacation."

But there was no news for five whole days. Knowing that she was busy and tired from school, he didn't bother her.

I suggested we have a barbecue yesterday, knowing she would come. I was so excited to tell her I was going, but she didn't.

Although he didn't know why, he felt that she was distancing herself from him, yet also wanting to get closer to him.

She couldn't hide her feelings at all; she deliberately stood next to him when she came over—it was too obvious.

Jiang Jihe sensed that she had something on her mind because of this feeling of wanting to get closer but not daring to.

The dress was left in the trunk and wasn't taken out.

Le Baiqing looked at the dress and gripped the barbecue skewer in her hand tightly.

It turns out it really was bought for Wen Zhining.
