Matter of Love

The Ling family was one of the accomplished families in C City. Their swanky independent villa sprawled over more than 1000 square meters of land, surrounded by a large manicured garden area in a tony neighborhood in C City. Leona languidly passed her bicycle through a small door at the corner of the garden. After parking her bicycle at its designated place, Leona headed towards the kitchen. Nancy had prepared a lot of food for Leona. All the servants working in the Ling household treated Leona very well. Especially for Nancy, Leona occupied a very special place in her heart. She treated Leona like she is her own daughter and tended to Leona every time she went into the kitchen!

However, just when Leona was walking towards the kitchen, she heard a strange sound behind the rockery. Out of curiosity, she looked towards the direction. The moment she turned her head towards the place from where she heard the sound, she went completely red in her face. Leona found herself awkwardly standing right in front of a man and a woman who were kissing each other. The sound that she heard was the voice of the girl. Leona's eyes widened as she recognized the girl from the back. It was Jasmine. However, she could not recognize the man.

It happened in such haste that Leona did not even have the time to move away. Though unwilling, she witnessed an act of passionate love when Jasmine put her arms around the man's neck, standing on tiptoe and trying to hold back on him. Since it was already past midnight and the man was under the light, Leona couldn't see his face clearly. It seemed like an angular face.

After recovering from the initial embarrassment, Leona suddenly spotted something that was not proper in such a scenario. She had seen several couples embracing each other at H University. Yet there was something weird between the couple here, in front of her. What particularly caught her attention was that, in general, boys are found to have their arms around the girls' waist. However, in this case, the man had his hands buried inside his pants pockets. It looked like it was Jasmine who took the initiative.

After a moment of standing there in utter indecisiveness and amazement, it occurred to Leona that Jasmine might have recently met this young man who owned a company bigger than the Ling family's company. Jonson was very particular about and gave a lot of importance to this prospective son-in-law. He was trying by all his means to arrange Jasmine's marriage with this man. Hence, this must be Jasmine's new boyfriend.

win Greg's heart sooner or later. Jonson had even suggested that since Jasmine and Greg had a favorable impression on each other and were of similar ages and family backgrounds, they should be engaged as soon as possible. Although the Ling family's business was far from being even close to the huge business of the Wei family's, Lings owned just a medium-sized company in C City. Nevertheless, it was a golden opportunity for Jonson to up

She felt that she was in a dream. In excitement, she ended up gulping down some wine to calm the adrenaline rush. However, in the process, she became dizzy as she was not used to

As Leona rode her bicycle, the wind brushed against her face and blew up the hair on her slender waist, and she looked like a fairy in the moonlight. Even at this moment, when Leona was caught intruding into their private moment, the way she came out looking
