Chapter 1142: She Wants Her Address
Jiang Xue knew it was Nangong Chen who had come, and a faint smile appeared on her face.
Sure enough, she quickly saw Nangong Chen’s figure.
"Miss Jiang, you’ve come!" Seeing Jiang Xue indeed arrived, Nangong Chen was both surprised and delighted. Jiang Xue smiled, without saying a word.
Nangong Chen didn’t mind, looking at her with a smile, he said, "Miss Jiang, please!"
Jiang Xue nodded, stepping forward to follow Nangong Chen into Chenyuan. At this moment, Lu Jintian suddenly tugged on Jiang Xue’s sleeve, saying, "Xue’er, it’s so late, I think it’s best not to go in. Whatever you want to say, say it here to Mr. Nangong, so I can send you back earlier."
Jiang Xue glanced at Lu Jintian, noticing the concern in his eyes, she laughed and said, "Brother, don’t worry, I have a sense of measure."
After saying that, Jiang Xue looked at Nangong Chen again, then said, "Mr. Nangong, lead the way."
"Alright, please!" Although Nangong Chen was puzzled, he temporarily suppressed it. He remembered that previously Jiang Xue had wished to stay as far away from him as possible, yet tonight she was behaving rather differently.
Is it perhaps because of the dishes he sent?
Nangong Chen couldn’t figure it out, nor did he think much about it. Because soon they entered the garden, arriving at the main hall. Although it was night, Chenyuan was adorned with lanterns everywhere, the red lanterns swaying in the night breeze, looking as if little girls were dancing.
No doubt, this quaint Chenyuan had a unique charm at night. If it were not for needing to find Nangong Chen for something tonight, she would indeed want to take a good look around.
Nangong Chen naturally noticed Jiang Xue’s interest in Chenyuan, yet he said nothing. He knew if he dared to say he wanted to give Chenyuan to Jiang Xue, she would surely leave immediately.
They sat down in the chairs, Nangong Chen saw Jiang Xue holding Little Reunion, struggling, he wanted to help her but feared she would be displeased.
After hesitating for a moment, he ultimately did not say he wanted to help Jiang Xue with the child, instead, he smiled and asked, "Miss Jiang, it’s rare for you to come to Chenyuan, would you like me to show you around first?"
"No need!" Jiang Xue calmly refused, then said, "Mr. Nangong, I’m here for a purpose."
Although Nangong Chen had already guessed Jiang Xue might have a purpose for seeing him, actually hearing Jiang Xue say it made him somewhat uncomfortable.
He secretly hoped Jiang Xue had come to Chenyuan considering him a friend. Yet she was still so ruthless, not even giving him a chance to fantasize.
However, despite feeling hurt, Nangong Chen dared not show it. He feared if he revealed such emotions and Jiang Xue saw through his thoughts, she would list him as someone to avoid.
Even though he was already on the ’avoid list,’ it hadn’t reached the worst-case scenario yet. So he still wanted to try, wanted to become friends with Jiang Xue.
Of course, just being friends wouldn’t satisfy him. But that was a future matter, he had to start from the beginning, from friendship.
Suppressing all sorts of emotions, Nangong Chen poured a cup of tea for Jiang Xue and Lu Jintian, then smilingly asked, "I wonder what matter Miss Jiang seeks me for?"
"Mr. Nangong, I want Nangong Yao’s address." Jiang Xue looked at Nangong Chen briefly, then straightforwardly stated.
The reason she didn’t beat around the bush was to test Nangong Chen’s feelings. She wanted to see whether the relationship between Nangong Chen and Nangong Yao was genuinely antagonistic or if it was all a guise to confuse outsiders.
