Chapter 1430: Women's Battle
Bai Ling's tone when speaking to Ling Zhenfei was very intimate, in contrast to how she seemed to make Mao Xuejing sound like an outsider.
Mao Xuejing laughed instead and said, "Sister, you're too polite. Zhenfei and I aren't outsiders either. He's so busy now, where would he find the time to wander around? When I come next time, we can explore then."
Bai Ling was taken aback because she noticed that Mao Xuejing didn't seem the least bit angry.
Ling Zhenfei said to Bai Ling, "I just spoke with Xuejing, but she is on a very tight schedule this time around, and she has to set off to several neighboring countries as soon as she returns, so there's no time."
Bai Ling said, "That's really unfortunate. If Sister Xuejing had time, she could visit our villa. There's mountains and water, and the scenery is beautiful."
Bai Ling deliberately emphasized the words "our villa" to ensure that Mao Xuejing heard it clearly.
Any normal person would definitely sense from Bai Ling's words how close she and Ling Zhenfei are. This was indeed Bai Ling's hint to Mao Xuejing.
Mao Xuejing smiled and said, "There will be opportunities. Maybe I'll even stay there in the future. Sister, you can also come to Moergawa. The weather there is better, and you won't have to wear such heavy clothes."
Bai Ling was somewhat frustrated. Why wasn't Mao Xuejing getting upset? Could it be that Bai Ling's hints weren't enough for Mao Xuejing to pick up on?
Ling Zhenfei was a bit frustrated too; he certainly understood the implications in Bai Ling's words and knew what she wanted to convey.
Bai Ling said, "Alright, then Zhenfei and I will go together when the time comes."
Mao Xuejing smiled and said, "We'll make sure you eat well and have lots of fun."
Ling Zhenfei knew he needed to change the subject to AHu, otherwise, who knows where the conversation between these two would lead.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Xuejing, is there anything missing in our castle? Moergawa has just settled down, so some places might still need improvements."
Mao Xuejing thought for a moment and said, "The hot water system in the castle isn't very good. Sometimes the water is cold when showering."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Alright, I'll have someone address this issue first. Also, regarding the airport construction in Moergawa, I want Xi Shan Group to establish a new company to participate in the project."
Mao Xuejing said, "That's great. We can't hand over all the benefits to outsiders."
Bai Ling noticed how Ling Zhenfei and Mao Xuejing discussed this topic so intimately, her eyes showed a tinge of frustration.
Bai Ling felt uneasy; she couldn't just be ignored like this. She had to find a topic, at least to let Mao Xuejing know that Ling Zhenfei and she had a good relationship in Huaxia.
Also, to make Ling Zhenfei understand that no woman likes having other women around her man.
Bai Ling then said to Ling Zhenfei, "By the way, Zhenfei, tomorrow the chef from Xi Shan Restaurant will come to inspect the kitchen equipment. Shouldn't we go have a look too?"
Ling Zhenfei glanced at Mao Xuejing and said, "There's probably no time tomorrow. It's not often that Xuejing visits, I should stay here with her. We can discuss other matters later."
Mao Xuejing laughed and said, "If you really have something to do, go ahead. I don't mind. It's not my first time in Huaxia."
Mao Xuejing had studied in Huaxia, so she was quite familiar with the domestic situation.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Your schedule is tight. Tomorrow's itinerary will likely be quite exhausting."
The next day, the officials invited Mao Xuejing to several places, like the Forbidden City and the National Museum, so the itinerary was quite full.
Mao Xuejing said, "Sister Bai Ling sounds very busy."
Bai Ling finally felt she found an opportunity; Mao Xuejing handed it to her voluntarily.
Bai Ling said, "Actually, it's nothing. I have to take care of this guy's daily life every day, and he has so many things to do. It's impossible not to get tired."
Originally, Bai Ling thought Mao Xuejing would get angry, but unexpectedly, Mao Xuejing seemed grateful instead and said, "It's great that you take care of Zhenfei. I can't do it from Moergawa, please continue to look after him when he's in the country."
Bai Ling was truly shocked. Did Mao Xuejing not catch the implications in her words?
Bai Ling paused slightly and said, "Aren't you afraid I'll take Ling Zhenfei away? He spends a lot of time in the country, and you can only be with him for so long."
Mao Xuejing said, "Exactly because I have limited time with Zhenfei, I need to rely on you to take care of him, sister. As for stealing him away, who could do that? He's capable of taking other girls away from others, but no girl can take him away."
Bai Ling was really frustrated and said, "Aren't you worried that Ling Zhenfei might have relationships with other women while he's in the country?"
Mao Xuejing said, "What's there to worry about? With Zhenfei's ability, isn't it completely normal for him to have a few girlfriends in the country?"
Bai Ling felt her mind was about to explode. This was challenging her worldview. How could this be possible? Mao Xuejing showed no concern about Ling Zhenfei having other girlfriends in the country and even said having a few girlfriends was normal.
Bai Ling was completely defeated this time; she had never thought there could be such a way of thinking.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Bai Ling, why discuss this in front of Xuejing? It's pointless. Xuejing and I have already decided; when we get married, we'll either have the wedding on Feixue Island or go there for our honeymoon."
Bai Ling said even more incredulously, "Aren't you already engaged? You're the person Ling Zhenfei is supposed to marry, right?"
Mao Xuejing said, "Yes, after we get married, we won't honeymoon on Feixue Island. We're planning for a trip instead."
Mao Xuejing's face showed a blissful expression, as if about to get married.
Bai Ling was so shocked her eyes almost popped out. What was this? Why did she feel like she couldn't understand?
Bai Ling, still feeling unwilling to give up, asked, "This can't be right, Princess. Haven't you considered that there might be other women around Ling Zhenfei? Can you just accept that?"
Mao Xuejing said, "What's the problem? With someone as exceptional as Zhenfei, how could I possibly have him all to myself?"
Bai Ling was stunned, hardly believing what she heard, "Insane, this is insane."
Bai Ling, thinking about this, suddenly pulled Ling Zhenfei to her side and hugged him, saying to Mao Xuejing, "Like now, for instance. When I'm beside Ling Zhenfei, don't you feel unhappy at all?"
Mao Xuejing said, "I could tell from the moment you appeared that you and Zhenfei are close. If I were unhappy, I would've shown it long ago.
Rest assured, be by Zhenfei's side without any reservations. Whoever marries Ling Zhenfei first will be the older sister. Do you find this acceptable?"
Bai Ling felt she was about to go crazy, thinking how this could be possible in the world. A woman seeing another woman with her man and yet showing no signs of being upset—this was something she couldn't do.
