Chapter 1896 - 1832: Want to Be the Boss

"You don’t have to be so servile." She muttered, "Anyway, if you’re going to invite her to dinner, I won’t go. I’ll head back first."

Saying that, she started to walk out.

She thought Chen Liting would prioritize her, that he would catch up no matter what, and wouldn’t choose to have dinner with Wang Yi while she was around. But to her surprise, she had already reached the door, and Chen Liting still hadn’t come after her.

Ye Wanqing gritted her teeth and called back, "Chen Liting, are you coming or not!"

Chen Liting said to her, "If you’re not hungry yet, just go ahead."

Ye Wanqing nearly spat out blood in anger.

"Fine, you’re really something. Don’t come looking for me again in the future."

After saying this, she immediately ran outside.

She was furious, it really was going to drive her mad.

Even when she ran out onto the street, Chen Liting still hadn’t come after her.

This made Ye Wanqing feel very defeated.

These past few days, she could easily feel Chen Liting’s infatuation with her, clearly his heart was all tied up on her. But why was he treating her like this today?

She absolutely didn’t believe that Chen Liting would fall for Wang Yi; if he was going to, it would have happened at the art academy that day.

So, he must really have something important going on, right?

Ye Wanqing began making excuses for Chen Liting.

She never imagined that Chen Liting stayed because he saw Chiang Xiao.

She never even saw Chiang Xiao at all.

However, there were Chiang Xiao’s paintings hanging in Youqingwei, and after seeing Wang Yi, she didn’t find it so strange anymore. After all, Wang Yi was Chiang Xiao’s friend. If that tea house was opened by Wang Yi’s friend, it would be normal for Wang Yi to ask for Chiang Xiao’s paintings.

This made her dislike that Youqingwei place even more.

But after walking down the street, Ye Wanqing unexpectedly found that there wasn’t a single shop bigger than Youqingwei, nor any as well-decorated and stylish.

Although less than half the shops on the street had opened, Youqingwei already had the aura of dominance. Once this street becomes bustling, it would still be in the best location.

As Ye Wanqing wandered, she suddenly had a thought when she saw a small shop in the distance with a "for sale" sign in red letters.

If only she had a shop here too!

In the future, she could open a gallery here, and her gallery wouldn’t sell Chiang Xiao’s paintings!

With this thought, she suddenly felt invigorated and rushed home.

To see if Deng Qingjiang had returned. If he had, she would let him take a look at the shop, buy it, and of course, best if he gifted it to her.

That way, she would have her own shop and become the boss. How impressive would that be.

Then she could place all her paintings in her own gallery for sale. No need to beg Capital Art Academy. Her classmates would be so jealous.

Then what would she need to worry about losing face for?

In front of them, she could totally hold her head high.

As she left, Chen Liting secretly let out a sigh of relief.

He turned to Wang Yi and said, "Sister Wang Yi, how about it? Let’s have a meal together."

Wang Yi, knowing nothing of any grudge between Jiang Xiao and him, and although he had previously spoken for Ye Wanqing, at least felt there was no awkwardness between them. So, hearing his words just made her laugh, thinking this person was really quite forward.

"No need, I don’t like dining with people I’m not familiar with. And, stop calling me sister. We’re really not that close, it sounds awkward."

"Not familiar now, we’ll get familiar later," Chen Liting said.
