Chapter 1401: 1401

Yu Lili reached out and knocked on the door gently . It was extremely quiet inside . For a moment, she thought that whatever she’d heard moments before had been a figment of her imagination .

She stood outside for a while . When no one answered, she turned to leave . Suddenly, there was a noise behind her . She turned her head and found that the door had been opened .

It was pitch dark inside . Shen Manting was barefoot and dressed in a thin nightgown . Her eyes were a little red . She looked as if she had just woken up .

When Shen Manting saw that it was Yu Lili, she paused in surprise and asked, “Is there a problem?”

Yu Lili stood outside the door . When she heard the question, she felt a little awkward . With a shake of her head, she replied, “No, I just heard some noise and felt that perhaps you weren’t too happy about something . So, I came by to take a look . ”

Shen Manting stood at the door and looked at Yu Lili . She paused for a moment before replying, “Thank you . ”

Yu Lili was stunned . She began to feel a little embarrassed and said, “Well, if everything’s fine… I’ll leave now . ”

“Would you like to come in for a chat?” Shen Manting’s voice wasn’t loud . It was gentle .

Yu Lili could tell she was feeling a little down . All along, she had never really liked Shen Manting . In fact, there were times when her emotions toward her bordered on dislike . After a few days of interacting with her, she realized that Shen Manting didn’t really have many friends .

Shen Manting shuttled solely between the office and home every day . While Yu Lili had been keeping the old lady company, she had also heard many things about Shen Manting . This girl was very lonely .

Yu Lili thought for a moment before nodding her head . Shen Manting’s room was a little smaller than Old Mrs . Shen’s . It was still bigger than the guest room that Yu Lili was staying in .

What surprised Yu Lili the most was that in addition to Shen Manting’s belongings, the room contained some things that clearly belonged to a man . A man’s tie was on the bedside table . In a woman’s room, that sight was especially eye-catching .

Is it… Shen Luo’an’s?

Yu Lili kept her expression neutral and walked in . With a laugh, she remarked, “Your room is really big!”

Shen Manting laughed and sat on the bed . “When is your wedding?” she asked .

“On the eighth of next month,” Yu Lili replied . “It was supposed to be last month, but Ou Ming’s mother said that day wasn’t really auspicious . The eighth of next month is supposed to be the most auspicious day this year . ”

“I see . Congratulations . ” Shen Manting smiled . “Do you know that I really envy you? Ou Ming treats you really well . ”

Well…

Yu Lili suddenly regretted stepping in . Sitting in the same room with her husband’s ex-fiancée and discussing such a topic was going to be awkward no matter how she framed it .

“Ha ha…” Yu Lili laughed dryly . “It’s not too bad, I guess . He’s always been this way . ”

The smile on Shen Manting’s face was a little stiff and didn’t reach her eyes . She asked, “Do you need a bridesmaid for your wedding? Shall I go to Kingstown and be your bridesmaid?”

Yu Lili was stunned . She looked at Shen Manting in complete surprise . “You want to be my bridesmaid?”

“Yeah . May I?” Shen Manting looked at Yu Lili . Her eyes were almost pleading . “Since I can’t be Ou Ming’s bride, I’ll settle for being your bridesmaid . When you return to Kingstown, will you take me with you?”

Yu Lili found it bizarre . Why would Shen Manting make such a request out of the blue?

“I don’t have many friends, and I’ve never been a bridesmaid . If you don’t agree to it, I may never have the chance to be one ever . ” Shen Manting laughed, “I couldn’t be a bride, and I couldn’t even be a bridesmaid either…”
