Stockpiling for an Exiled General Through My Store's Back Door

Chapter 95: Chapter 95: Why Aren’t You Talking?

After returning to the hotel from the supermarket, Chen Jingjing was fuming with frustration. Despite her anger, she kept checking her phone, waiting for Hua Buwan to reply. She was worried that something might have happened to Hua Buwan since she lived alone. What if there was an accident? Because of this, she had been on edge all day.

Fortunately, at noon, Hua Buwan finally started a video call. Seeing Hua Buwan completely unharmed on the screen, Chen Jingjing finally let out a sigh of relief.

However, when she noticed Hua Buwan wearing pajamas, looking groggy with a messy bedhead, her anger erupted like a volcano. She thought, ”She actually slept in! That must be why she forgot about me!”

Regardless of the situation, Chen Jingjing immediately began to vent her frustrations. She felt deeply hurt by her friend.

But as she was talking, Chen Jingjing noticed someone moving behind Hua Buwan. She wondered if there was someone else. Uncertain, she leaned closer to get a better look, even zooming in on Hua Buwan’s video feed.

This time, she clearly saw a highly attractive man dressed in ancient clothing right beside Hua Buwan! His hair was let down, and Hua Buwan’s hair was let down too... She thought, ”Oh my god! Did I just witness something inappropriate for children?!”

She then thought, ”When did Hua Buwan get a boyfriend? And such a handsome man with a classical aura at that? We spent so much time together yesterday, yet she didn’t mention a single word about it! Very well, Hua Buwan!”

”Wanwanzi, you actually got a boyfriend behind my back? BOO-HOO, why didn’t you tell me earlier! You just woke up now—oh wait, no, the two of you just woke up now.” At this point, Chen Jingjing shyly covered her lips and flashed an ambiguous smile.

”Is it because you were too tired last night that you couldn’t wake up? Oh my, I understand, I understand. Although I get that you prioritize your man over your friends, I’m not an unreasonable person. You can just go on a date with your guy today. I won’t take up your time.

”However, we did make plans in advance. You stood me up. BOO-HOO, you’ll definitely have to make it up to me.”

Chen Jingjing alternated between laughing and playfully fake-crying. After she finished speaking, she stared unblinkingly at Ling Qianjun and asked with a mischievous glint in her eyes, ”May I ask what this handsome guy’s name is? And how did you meet our Wanwanzi?

”Ah, right, I haven’t introduced myself yet.

”Ahem, my name is Chen Jingjing. The ’Jing’ that means lush and luxuriant. I was Wanwanzi’s college roommate. We’ve known each other for over four years, and we’re very good friends.

”If you dare to bully Wanwanzi, I’ll be the first to teach you a lesson!”

Saying that, Chen Jingjing raised her fist and glared fiercely at Ling Qianjun, implying a warning: her bestie had backup!

Hua Buwan had originally wanted to interject and explain, but once Chen Jingjing started talking, she opened the floodgates. Hua Buwan didn’t even get the chance to slip a single word in.

It was also Ling Qianjun’s first time encountering a woman who was so fast-talking and glib, leaving him momentarily stunned. However, he could tell that she had a very good relationship with Hua Buwan. She was looking out for Hua Buwan in every way and backing her up.

But it seemed she had misunderstood his relationship with Hua Buwan. He knew that a young lady’s reputation could not be casually tarnished, so he would have to properly explain things to her in a moment.

Finally, Chen Jingjing talked until her mouth was dry. Having not heard a single response from the other side, she stopped and asked in confusion, ”Why aren’t you guys saying anything?”
