Ready

139: Chapter 140 Brother, you offer a course, I'll pay for it.

After that, they went on the roller coaster and the haunted house, and even went to watch the Disney parade.

Li Xue was excited like a little child the whole time, and under her influence, Li Ruonan gradually relaxed, even taking the initiative to pull Jiang Jing along to play a few thrilling rides.

"I couldn't tell, Director Li, you're actually quite brave?" Jiang Jing raised an eyebrow.

Li Ruonan gave a light huff: "Do you think everyone is as cowardly as you?"

"Me, cowardly?" Jiang Jing laughed, "Then later on the Ferris wheel, don't go weak at the knees."

Li Ruonan rolled her eyes at him, but her heart rate accelerated uncontrollably.

Night fell, and the lights of Disney became even more dreamlike. The three arrived in front of the Ferris wheel and waited in line.

Li Xue checked the time and suddenly let out an "Oh!": "I forgot! I promised a friend I'd bring her a souvenir! You guys go up first, I'll go buy it and be right back!"

"Li Xue!" Li Ruonan immediately sensed her intention and reached out to pull her back, but Li Xue had already nimbly dodged away and winked at her: "Don't worry, I'll be quick!"

With that, she turned and ran, leaving Li Ruonan and Jiang Jing looking at each other.

Jiang Jing chuckled and reached out to take Li Ruonan's hand: "Let's go, don't waste her good intentions."

Li Ruonan bit her lip, but in the end, she followed him into the Ferris wheel cabin.

Li Ruonan leaned against the window, watching the lights outside, her heart rate quickening involuntarily.

Jiang Jing sat opposite her, looking at her with burning eyes, a faint smile on his lips.

"What are you looking at?" Li Ruonan felt uncomfortable being stared at by him and instinctively glared at him.

"Looking at how pretty you are." Jiang Jing answered frankly.

Li Ruonan choked, her ears turning slightly red, and she turned her face away: "Smooth talker..."

Jiang Jing chuckled and suddenly stood up, sitting down next to her.

Li Ruonan's body stiffened. Before she could react, Jiang Jing had already reached out to wrap his arm around her shoulders, pulling her into his embrace.

"Jiang Jing! You—"

"Shh." Jiang Jing whispered, "Look, the fireworks are about to start."

No sooner had he finished speaking than brilliant fireworks suddenly bloomed in the distant sky, their dazzling light reflecting on both their faces.

Li Ruonan watched in a daze, forgetting to struggle for a moment.

Jiang Jing lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "Ruonan, does this... count as us officially being together?"

Li Ruonan's heart raced, she pursed her lips, and didn't answer.

Jiang Jing wasn't in a rush; he just gently held her hand.

Just then, the door of the Ferris wheel cabin was suddenly pulled open, and Li Xue scrambled in, breathless: "Whew—made it!"

Li Ruonan was startled and instinctively wanted to break free from Jiang Jing's embrace, but Li Xue pounced over and hugged them both: "Wow! The fireworks are so beautiful!"

Jiang Jing laughed and took the opportunity to pull both women into his arms: "Yeah, very beautiful."

Li Ruonan was sandwiched in the middle, feeling both shy and annoyed, but looking at Li Xue's brilliant smile and Jiang Jing's gentle gaze, she eventually just gave a soft huff and let them hold her.

The Ferris wheel began to move slowly, gradually rising to the highest point. Fireworks bloomed in the night sky, and the three figures appeared exceptionally harmonious under the lights.

Others might think this combination was strange, but they themselves felt—this was just right.

The joyful atmosphere of Disney let the three of them really have fun, and Jiang Jing naturally took on the role of "exclusive photographer."

"Come on, Li Xue, stand here." Jiang Jing directed Li Xue to stand by the flower bed in front of the castle, raised his phone, "Right, smile!"

Li Xue immediately struck a sweet pose, made a "V" sign with both hands, and smiled brilliantly.

Jiang Jing pressed the button to take the photo and nodded with satisfaction: "Perfect."

Li Xue ran over to look at the photo, her eyes lighting up: "Wow! It turned out really well!" She turned to look at Li Ruonan and beckoned with a grin, "Ruonan, you come take one too!"

Li Ruonan had originally been standing to the side. Hearing this, she hesitated for a moment but still walked over. Jiang Jing looked at her slightly stiff expression and couldn't help but laugh: "Director Li, taking photos isn't a meeting, relax a bit."

"Mind your own business!" Li Ruonan glared at him, but still adjusted her posture slightly.

Jiang Jing raised his phone and suddenly said: "Ruonan, look at the lens, imagine you were just on the Ferris wheel..."

"Jiang Jing!" Li Ruonan blushed instantly and reached out to hit him, but Jiang Jing happened to press the shutter, capturing her shy and annoyed, yet vivid expression.

"This one's good!" Jiang Jing smirked and shook the phone, "Especially natural."

Li Ruonan was so angry she wanted to grab the phone, but Li Xue was laughing so hard on the side she couldn't straighten up: "Hahaha, Ruonan, you look so cute like this!"

Next, Jiang Jing took quite a few solo photos of the two women separately, and the two women also took turns taking photos of each other, although Ruonan was still a bit shy.

"Let's take one together, the three of us!" Li Xue suggested with great interest.

"Sure, I'll find a passerby to help." Jiang Jing looked around, his gaze locking onto a couple who looked quite friendly.

He walked over and asked politely: "Excuse me, could you trouble you to take a group photo for us?"

The couple had been walking hand in hand. Upon hearing the request, the guy nodded readily: "No problem!"

However, when Jiang Jing walked over with Li Xue and Li Ruonan, the guy's eyes went straight—two beauties with completely different styles but equally stunning, one sweet and lively, the other cold and dashing, standing beside Jiang Jing, the scene was simply eye-candy to the max.

"Honey... Honey! You're about to drool..." the girl reminded him gloomily from the side.

The guy finally came back to his senses, hurriedly wiped the corner of his mouth, and smiled awkwardly: "Ahem, well... you guys stand still, I'll take it for you!"

The three of them stood together. Li Xue affectionately linked her arm through his left, and although Li Ruonan was slightly reserved, she also leaned gently against his right side.

"Come on, smile!" The guy raised his phone.

"Cheese!" Li Xue called out sweetly.

Click—the photo was frozen in time.

The guy looked at the phone screen and couldn't help but exclaim: "Brother, you... you're a winner in life!"

The girl also leaned in to look, her eyes lighting up: "Wow, this photo turned out really well!" She looked up at Jiang Jing and couldn't help but take a few extra looks, "Handsome, with your looks... it's a pity not to be a star."

Jiang Jing smiled modestly: "You flatter me."

The guy returned the phone to Jiang Jing, couldn't help rubbing his hands, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, excuse me for asking... how did you do it?"

"Hmm?" Jiang Jing raised an eyebrow.

"I mean... these two beauties..." the guy winked and gestured, looking full of admiration, "Teach me, would you? I'll pay to sign up!"

Before Jiang Jing could answer, Li Xue had already smilingly linked his arm, saying sweetly: "Because our darling is just too outstanding~"

Although Li Ruonan didn't speak, the corners of her mouth lifted slightly, tacitly accepting the title.

Jiang Jing's mouth almost stretched to his ears, and he said quite pretentiously: "Oh, you flatter me..."

The guy's eyes widened instantly, his mouth opening wide enough to fit an egg: "Holy crap! Brother, did you use a cheat code?!"

The girl was also shocked, and the look she gave Jiang Jing became even more intense: "Handsome, your charm... is incredible!"

Jiang Jing gave a light cough and said, pretending to be profound: "Well... it mainly comes down to personal charm."

The girl nodded in deep agreement: "With a face like yours, I'd be willing too if it were me..."

The guy: "???"
