138: Chapter 139 Amusement Park

Jiang Jing chuckled softly and reached out to pinch her cheek. "The Li Ruonan who usually challenges everything and everyone, can't even look me in the eye now?"

"Don't get cocky!" Li Ruonan slapped his hand away and pretended to be calm while fixing her hair. "I just think... that girl Li Xue is being too reckless."

"Oh? How is she being reckless?" Jiang Jing raised an eyebrow, feigning ignorance.

Li Ruonan bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and then said in a low voice, "She actually told me last night... that she wanted to 'team up' with me..."

"Team up?" Jiang Jing feigned surprise, but the smile in his eyes betrayed him. "What kind of team?"

"Stop playing dumb!" Li Ruonan glared at him in embarrassment and annoyance. "You dare say you didn't understand what she said?"

Jiang Jing finally couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud. "I understood, and I think what she said makes a lot of sense."

Li Ruonan: "???"

Jiang Jing nodded solemnly. "Li Xue is truly a smart person, knowing that one shouldn't let good things go to outsiders."

"Jiang Jing!" Li Ruonan stomped her foot in anger. "You... how can you be so thick-skinned!"

Jiang Jing smiled and wrapped his arm around her shoulders, leaning close to her ear, his voice low. "What about you? What do you think in your heart?"

Li Ruonan's heart rate accelerated. She instinctively wanted to push him away, but Jiang Jing's arm held her firmly, making her unable to move. She bit her lip and said in a low voice, "I... I think it's too fast."

"Too fast?" Jiang Jing raised an eyebrow. "How long have we known each other? How long have you had a crush on me?"

"Who had a crush on you!" Li Ruonan bristled, glaring at him in shame and anger.

Jiang Jing looked at her flushed cheeks and couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Li Ruonan, aren't you quite fierce when you usually roast me? Why are you acting like a coward now?"

"I'm not acting like a coward!" Li Ruonan insisted stubbornly, but her eyes flickered.

Jiang Jing stared at her for a few seconds, then suddenly sighed. "Fine, since you think it's too fast, then we will—"

Before he could finish his sentence, Li Ruonan suddenly looked up, her eyes showing a hint of grievance. "Will... will you think I'm a hassle?"

Jiang Jing was taken aback, then chuckled. "How could I?"

"Then why do you insist on making me decide now..." She bit her lip, her voice getting quieter. "Is it because if I don't decide, you won't want to wait for me anymore?"

Li Ruonan was a bit afraid that Jiang Jing would lose patience and leave if she didn't state her stance soon.

Jiang Jing looked at her insecure appearance, and his heart softened.

He reached out and gently stroked her cheek, saying softly, "How is that possible? I just want you to know that I am serious about you."

Li Ruonan was stunned. She looked seriously into Jiang Jing's eyes and saw nothing but sincerity!

Jiang Jing lowered his head slightly, looking at her with a burning gaze. "Li Ruonan, I like you, not because of Li Xue's suggestion, but because... you are you."

Li Ruonan's breath hitched, and her fingertips unconsciously gripped the corner of his clothes.

Seeing this, Jiang Jing's lips curled into a mischievous smile. "So, can I kiss you now?"

"You—" Just as Li Ruonan wanted to scold him for ruining the mood, Jiang Jing had already leaned down and kissed her.

She instinctively wanted to dodge, but Jiang Jing's palm cupped the back of her head, deepening the kiss in a way that brooked no refusal.

At first, Li Ruonan struggled a little, but soon, she closed her eyes, her hands unconsciously wrapping around his neck, and began to respond to his kiss.

In the distance, Li Xue, hiding behind a pillar, secretly poked her head out. Seeing this scene, she nodded with satisfaction and muttered softly, "That's more like it!"

She took out her phone, secretly snapped a picture of this scene, and then happily posted it to her Moments—

"Today's assist successful!"

Attached photo: Jiang Jing and Li Ruonan kissing romantically at Disney.

(Of course, visible only to herself.)

When Li Xue returned, Li Ruonan's cheeks were still flushed, her eyes wandering, looking like she had just experienced something "unspeakable."

Li Xue blinked, deliberately leaned close to her, and asked with a smile, "Ruonan, why is your face so red? Is it too hot?"

"No, no!" Li Ruonan immediately retorted, instinctively touching her face, only to find it even hotter.

Li Xue burst into laughter and reached out to pinch her cheek. "Oh my, since when did our Ruonan become so easily embarrassed?"

"Li Xue!" Li Ruonan slapped her hand away in shame and annoyance, glaring at her through gritted teeth.

Li Xue, however, smiled even more brightly, looking triumphant as if she had "turned the tables."

You have to know, in the past, it was always Li Ruonan protecting and taking care of her. Now that the roles were reversed, she found it particularly interesting.

Jiang Jing stood to the side, watching the two women bicker, a smile on his lips, and interjected at the right moment: "Let's go. If we don't go play now, the rides will close."

Li Xue immediately grabbed his arm and pulled Li Ruonan with her other hand. "Let's go, let's go! We must have a blast today!"

Li Ruonan was pulled along by her, sighing helplessly, but the corners of her mouth curled up secretly.

The night at Disney was brightly lit, with cheerful music and the laughter of tourists interwoven together.

The three of them shuttled between various rides like an ordinary couple, taking photos and playing, completely unconcerned by the gazes of others.

"Jiang Jing! I want to ride the carousel!" Li Xue pointed excitedly ahead.

"Sure." Jiang Jing nodded with a smile and turned to look at Li Ruonan. "What about you? Do you want to join?"

Li Ruonan wanted to refuse, but Li Xue had already grabbed her. "Of course! The three of us together!"

Thus, under the curious gazes of others, the three of them sat on the same row of the carousel.

Li Xue sat in the front, excitedly holding up her phone for a selfie. Jiang Jing sat behind, while Li Ruonan sat in the middle, her expression slightly awkward.

"Ruonan, smile!" Li Xue urged, turning her head.

Jiang Jing also turned his head and winked at her. "Director Li, don't tell me you're even afraid of the carousel?"

"Who's afraid!" Li Ruonan glared at him, but in the end, she couldn't help but laugh.

Click—Li Xue pressed the shutter, capturing the moment of the three of them in the frame.
