Old Wang pretended to appear relaxed and replied, “It’s nothing, just a minor disagreement with my friend. I’m not in the best mood right now.”

Bai Xue paused for a moment, her perceptive nature picking up on something. She asked, “Is it because of Little Six?”

Old Wang could only nod awkwardly.

Seeing Old Wang’s expression, Bai Xue could deduce the reason behind their conflict. Bai Xue sighed and said, “Seeing you caught in the middle like this, it’s probably because Little Six has a strong dislike for me.”

Old Wang was taken aback. Bai Xue was truly insightful; she had pinpointed the root of the issue. Old Wang nodded in agreement.

Bai Xue immediately felt a pang of frustration. She muttered inwardly, ‘That Little Six just doesn’t know what’s good for him.’

Bai Xue pretended to be helpless and continued, “Brother Wang, you really shouldn’t be at odds with your friend because of me.”

Upon hearing Bai Xue’s words, Old Wang’s heart ached for her. She was such a kind-hearted girl. Why couldn’t Little Six see that? Old Wang smiled and reassured her, saying, “It’s alright; 1’11 handle this situation properly.”

Bai Xue said with a hint of sadness, “Brother Wang, I’m not perfect. It’s impossible for everyone to like me, right? So, you understand, don’t you?”

Old Wang, looking at Bai Xue with sympathy, replied, “You’re too kind, Bai Xue. Kind people often become targets. Don’t you see that?”

Bai Xue sincerely said, “But I still believe that people who can be friends with you are all good people.”

Old Wang gazed at Bai Xue with a heart full of affection. He said affectionately, “Alright, you don’t have to put in a good word for others. Not everyone knows how to be grateful. I will handle this matter myself.”

Bai Xue said seriously, “Brother Wang, if we need to be grateful for everything, we won’t be able to do anything well.”

Old Wang subconsciously raised his hand and rubbed Bai Xue’s hair. Old Wang said dotingly, “Alright, I’ll listen to you. I won’t argue with him.”

At that moment, a library administrator approached their table and knocked on it gently, signaling them to keep their voices down and not disturb others who were studying.

Bai Xue immediately offered an apologetic smile to the administrator.

Although Old Wang was displeased about the interruption, he maintained his composure.

Old Wang said, “Little Xue, if there’s nothing else, how about we go shopping together?”

Bai Xue had something she wanted to discuss with Old Wang, so she agreed.

Old Wang placed the book back on the shelf, and the two of them left together.

They headed straight to a coffee shop on the pedestrian street and secured a nice table.

As they settled in, Old Wang ordered two premium cups of coffee.

Bai Xue leisurely stirred her coffee with a small spoon.

Noticing Bai Xue’s troubled expression, Old Wang inquired, “Little Xue, is something bothering you?”

Bai Xue pretended to be strong and replied, “It’s nothing, just some personal issues.”

Old Wang felt concerned seeing Bai Xue’s troubled demeanor. He stated, “You can’t fool me, Little Xue. If something’s on your mind, tell me. We can figure it out together.”

Bai Xue, pretending to hesitate, finally confessed, “Brother Wang, there have been a lot of things happening recently, and it’s been affecting my mood. But I’ll try to handle it myself.”

Old Wang’s heart ached for her, and he insisted, “Don’t say that. If you trust me, tell me what’s going on. We can find a solution together.”

Bai Xue pretended to reveal a reluctant smile and said, “Alright, I’ll tell you. It’s just that it’s a bit complicated.”

Old Wang frowned with concern and asked, “Is it related to Jiang Ling’er?”

Bai Xue put on a faint smile and spoke with a touch of melancholy, “It’s related to her indirectly, but not entirely. To be honest, 1 don’t know what to do anymore. It feels like I’m caught in a difficult situation.”

Old Wang gazed at Bai Xue with a mix of empathy and frustration. He said,

“Tell me more. I can help you think of a solution.”

Bai Xue said carefully, “What do you think about me reporting Jiang Ling’er and then apologizing publicly to her?”

Old Wang said seriously, “I believe you. You won’t lodge a report against her for no reason.”

Bai Xue managed a faint smile and added, “Brother Wang, I’m just not sure about it. I don’t have solid evidence, and Li Yan is avoiding any confrontation with the Jiang family right now. Plus, the Wen family is supporting them. I want to help Yue Ling, but I didn’t intend to frame Ling’er deliberately.”

Old Wang’s expression darkened when Yue Ling’s name was mentioned. He remarked, “Let’s not talk about Yue Ling. That person is ungrateful. You were so kind to her, even sacrificing your own reputation. Yet, she became Jiang Ling’er’s lackey.”

Bai Xue corrected, “Brother Wang, don’t say that. Yue Ling is just trying to protect herself. To be honest, Ling’er is pretty scary. This time, I’ve completely offended Ling’er.”

Old Wang asked, “Are you scared of her, Little Xue?”

Bai Xue sighed softly and replied, “Actually, I’m somewhat worried and afraid..”
