Chapter 165 Becoming Friends with Ye Ningshuang
Neither Shen Wancheng nor Shen Yao expected that Ye Ningshuang would arrive an hour later.
Aside from a slight surprise, Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao showed no other reaction.
But Ye Ningshuang seemed very reserved.
After all, because of Shen Wancheng, Zhou Heng took good care of Ye Ningshuang, and she didn't encounter any unspoken rules when she participated in the Miss Hong Kong pageant.
A few days ago, Zhou Heng also directly gave her a spot in the third round of press conference Q&A.
Ye Ningshuang knew very well that these preferential treatments were all because of Shen Wancheng.
She hadn't asked Shen Wancheng yet whether it was okay for her to date someone else.
Furthermore, the man she's dating is a rich second-generation heir, which makes it hard not to suspect that Ye Ningshuang is simultaneously seeking two powerful backers.
After they sat down in the VIP section of the audience, Ye Ningshuang took the initiative to ask to sit next to Shen Wancheng.
Lu Hanyi asked in surprise, "You know Miss Shen?"
Ye Ningshuang simply nodded without responding.
Liang Muchao, who knew how Ye Ningshuang knew Shen Wancheng, climbed up to Lu Hanyi and sat down one seat away from Shen Wancheng and the others.
"Don't pry into the things between pretty girls."
Shen Yao gave Liang Muchao a thumbs up for his tact.
Liang Muchao raised his eyebrows in a smug response.
Shen Yao quickly withdrew her hand.
Shen Wancheng chuckled as she watched the two of them interact, then turned to ask Ye Ningshuang.
Is there anything you want to tell me?
"Yes, I haven't had a chance to properly thank you since the last competition."
"You're welcome. I chose you because you're capable of doing the job, there's no other reason."
"It's not just this."
Ye Ningshuang was a little nervous and hesitant, wondering whether this matter should be brought up in the open.
Seeing Ye Ningshuang hesitate, Shen Wancheng did not urge her.
Even if Ye Ningshuang didn't say it aloud, she could roughly guess what Ye Ningshuang wanted to say.
Although she admired Ye Ningshuang to some extent, she wouldn't go around doing good deeds to comfort Ye Ningshuang, who wasn't even a friend yet.
In the end, Ye Ningshuang gritted her teeth and spoke.
"I also want to thank you for having Deputy Director Zhou take care of me. Although you may not have specifically instructed him to do so, I know that he must have taken care of me because of you, so I still have to thank you."
"Then, my relationship with Young Master Lu was indeed due to my greed. If you mind, I will explain to Deputy Director Zhou that we have nothing to do with each other anymore, and ask him not to let you get involved..."
Ye Ningshuang's honesty proves that Shen Wancheng was right about her.
Shen Wancheng could tell from Ye Ningshuang's body language and changes in expression that what she said was the truth.
So Shen Wancheng was quite happy that Ye Ningshuang could tell her these things.
Although Shen Wancheng had a good impression of Ye Ningshuang, he did not intend to develop a close relationship with her.
But at this time, the idea of having more friends also came to mind.
Before Ye Ningshuang could finish speaking, Shen Wancheng interrupted her.
"I do not mind."
When Ye Ningshuang spoke, although she didn't hunch her back or droop her head, her gaze was fixed on the ground, and she didn't dare to look at Shen Wancheng.
After hearing Shen Wancheng's words, she suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Shen Wancheng.
Shen Wancheng continued.
“I never told you I would support you. On the surface, we lost all contact after that competition, so I understand your anxiety. It’s normal for you to seek help from others again. So you don’t need to feel guilty.”
"Besides, Lu Sheng really treats you like his girlfriend, so you don't need to think of your relationship as something so unpleasant."
Shen Yao interjected at the opportune moment.
"That's right. Before you came, Lu Sheng said it himself. He said that he and you were dating, not that he was treating you as a secret lover."
Ye Ningshuang's eyelashes fluttered, but she remained silent.
Shen Wancheng could tell at a glance that Ye Ningshuang had no feelings for Lu Hanyi. She only agreed to date Lu Hanyi because she needed a powerful backer. Lu Hanyi was young, unmarried, good-looking, and rich. He was much better than those greasy middle-aged men and was the perfect choice.
If Lu Hanyi was just playing around, Ye Ningshuang would feel more at ease. But Lu Hanyi's kindness and genuine feelings for her only increased Ye Ningshuang's psychological burden, making her feel despicable.
Shen Wancheng patted Ye Ningshuang on the shoulder and offered a simple word of comfort.
"Who knows how long feelings will last? Just do what you want and get what you need."
Shen Wancheng paused, then leaned close to Ye Ningshuang's ear and said.
"It's not a bad thing not to believe in a man's feelings. Besides, most men can't tell if you're sincere or not. If you're there when he needs you, he'll assume you're sincere."
After replaying Shen Wancheng's words in her mind several times, Ye Ningshuang felt much more at ease.
She also sensed the goodwill that Shen Wancheng showed her from their conversation.
So after she figured it out, she said something to Shen Wancheng.
"Thank you, Wan Cheng. Are you dating someone? You know so much."
Forehead....
Shen Wancheng didn't mind being called Sister Wancheng. Her Hong Kong ID card said she was 20 years old, and Ye Ningshuang looked about the same age as her.
But is she really good at dating?
She's never even been in a relationship, yet she's already pregnant and married.
and many more.
fall in love...
fall in love!
Would you consider this a considerable achievement in life?
She really has never been in a relationship, so I guess that counts, right?
Perhaps we could give it a try.
Since I already have a romantic partner, there's no harm in giving it a try.
Shen Wancheng decided in her heart that when she called Gu Jinxing that night, she would invite him over for a date.

After the horse race in the afternoon, Lu Hanyi said he would treat Shen Wancheng and the others to dinner. Since Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao had a good impression of Lu Hanyi today, they agreed.
Liang Muchao and Lu Hanyi both drove there, while Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao rode in Liang Muchao's car.
As the horse race ended, the crowd surged out, causing some congestion on the roads outside the Gallop Racecourse. Liang Muchao turned left at the first traffic light onto a quiet road, intending to leave through the villa area ahead.
As he turned onto that road, he suddenly remembered the first time he met Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao.
He said it with a smile.
"Shen Yao, you probably don't know when I first met you."
Shen Yao thought for a moment and said, "Isn't it at the stock exchange?"
"No, it was on this road that I saw you and your future sister-in-law bravely and handsomely fighting off gangsters."
Shen Yao asked in surprise, "You saw me? There was no one on the road at the time."
“I saw it, but I wasn’t there. I was upstairs in Brother Xing’s villa over here.”
While they were talking, the car had already driven into the villa area.
Liang Muchao raised his chin and said, "Hey, it's that building over there."
Shen Yao glanced casually and spotted a familiar figure in another direction.
"Sister, look, that's Shen Mei coming out of the villa over there."
