Chapter 232: I Just Like You Too Much
After Jiang Ning finished showering, she tossed and turned in bed.
In the blink of an eye, it was one o’clock, but she still couldn’t fall asleep.
Her mind was full of Xie Jingyan’s words: Let’s be together.
Thinking and thinking, she finally fell asleep.
In the morning, she was woken up by the alarm clock.
Jiang Ning hadn’t slept well, with dark circles under her eyes.
She opened her mobile phone to check the time and first received a message from Xie Jingyan: [I made breakfast for you. Remember to open the door and get it.]
Jiang Ning: “？？？”
While she was still puzzled, there was a knock on the door, accompanied by the delivery guy’s voice: “Hello, you have a same-city delivery. Please sign for it and give a good review.”
Jiang Ning: “……”
She opened the door, and the delivery guy delivered the item and left.
Jiang Ning picked up the exquisite box and opened it to see an insulated box inside.
It had three layers in total.
One layer of oatmeal porridge, one layer of crystal shrimp dumplings, and handmade xiaolongbao.
While eating, Jiang Ning sent a message to Xie Jingyan: [You made it?]
Xie Jingyan replied instantly: [Who else? Besides you, who else deserves to have me enter the kitchen?]
Jiang Ning’s face heated up, her fingers poking at the screen: [Mm, it tastes good. Thanks.]
Xie Jingyan: [……]
Xie Jingyan: [Lunch together at noon?]
Jiang Ning: [No time today. Next time.]
After replying, she didn’t respond to him again.
Because she had more important things to do.
At noon, she had arranged to meet Wei Jin, but she didn’t know if he would actually come.
But whether Wei Jin came or not, Jiang Ning had to do her part well.
She quickly finished breakfast and then went to get herself ready. She didn’t put on makeup to conceal her features like usual, but instead revealed all her facial features.
She also applied light makeup.
Enduring the cold, she wore a tight sweater dress inside, a white wool coat outside, boots on her feet, and a white beret on her head.
With her black long straight hair, she looked especially pure and desirable.
At ten o’clock, Jiang Ning hurriedly went out.
At ten-thirty, she arrived at Ding Shi Guan. She didn’t go in, but endured the cold wind and stood in the most conspicuous position waiting.
Even though the waiters inside kept coming out to ask if she wanted to go in and order, Jiang Ning politely smiled and refused.
Time quickly passed eleven o’clock.
Wei Jin did not appear.
Jiang Ning didn’t leave either, just looked a bit disappointed, constantly checking the time.
Not far away, a black car.
Wei Jin looked at Jiang Ning across the car window.
No matter how many times he looked, that face still made him dazed.
He knew he shouldn’t come, but for some reason, he still unconsciously came to this address.
He saw this girl called Tan Qing waiting for him. Even though her face turned pale from the cold and her hands were red, she stubbornly stood in place.
Wei Jin hoped in his heart that she would leave quickly.
He didn’t come, doesn’t that mean he doesn’t want to keep the appointment?
Why wait so foolishly.
Wei Jin didn’t know how long he had waited.
He only saw the person across the street clutching her stomach in discomfort and squatting on the ground. He came to his senses—it was already one o’clock in the afternoon…
She had waited two extra hours and still wouldn’t leave.
As if he wouldn’t leave unless he showed up.
Wei Jin gripped the steering wheel.
In the end, he still got out of the car.
He wore a hat and mask, dressed low-key, and walked straight up to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning looked up and saw the goal appear. She smiled innocently and brightly, her eyes sparkling: “Teacher Wei, you came. Hungry, right? Let’s go in and eat.”
Wei Jin wasn’t there to eat with her, but said: “I was just passing by. Let me tell you, don’t approach me again in the future, or you’ll regret it.”
Jiang Ning’s bright eyes instantly filled with disappointment.
She pursed her red lips, her eyes instantly reddening, and bowed to Wei Jin: “Sorry, did I disturb you? I just like you too much, so when I saw you, I couldn’t help wanting to interact more with you. Teacher Wei Jin, can you not hate me?”
Jiang Ning felt like throwing up from pretending to be this delicate little white flower.
But Wei Jin looked at her in a daze.
Jiang Ning forced herself to squeeze out a few more tears, looking pitiful: “Can you have a meal with me? I promise I won’t approach you again after this.”
Jiang Ning mustered her courage and gently took Wei Jin’s hand.
The next instant, she felt Wei Jin’s whole body stiffen.
After a long time, Wei Jin finally responded: “Just this once…”
Jiang Ning’s doe eyes curved into a beautiful arc, smiling happily: “Mm mm, thank you. Today is my happiest day.”
She pulled Wei Jin inside.
Little did she know that two people outside had already set their sights on them.
One was Sui Youran, who had tailed Wei Jin here.
The other was Xie Jingyan, who had investigated Sui Youran.
He looked expressionlessly at Jiang Ning and Wei Jin’s clasped hands.
He almost crushed the steering wheel.
Little Honey hurriedly came out to smooth things over: [Calm down! Calm down! The host has her reasons for doing that! Don’t go and mess things up!]
After a while, Xie Jingyan sneered coldly: “I know. I’m not that clueless.”
Little Honey breathed a sigh of relief: [That’s good. The host has taken on a mission right now, and this mission is very dangerous… Sigh, I don’t want to hide it from you, and I don’t want you to misunderstand her. Otherwise, I would’ve matched her with Wei Jin long ago.]
Xie Jingyan gave it a cool glance: “You’re getting a bit verbose, Little Honey. Still matching them up—doesn’t Wei Jin know what a mess he is? Kept by Sui Youran, and he still dares to come see Jiang Ning. Does he really think he dodged Sui Youran’s surveillance? That woman goes crazy and even kills her own biological parents, let alone a stranger like Jiang Ning who catches Wei Jin’s eye.”
Xie Jingyan’s gaze turned to the ordinary white sedan across the street: “Jiang Ning has already been added to Sui Youran’s must-kill list, and if she’s caught this time, she might face life and death.”
Little Honey didn’t expect the mission to be this terrifying and anxiously spun in circles: [Hurry and think of a method. I don’t want the host to get hurt.]
Xie Jingyan sneered: “I won’t let Ning Ning get hurt either. Even if Sui Youran is a mad dog, there’s a leash that can hold her.”
He made a telephone call.
He said to the other end: “Find Huo Chengxuan.”
The call ended.
Xie Jingyan sat in place watching the show.
In less than half an hour, a sports car sped over and crashed straight into the little white car.
It was the white car’s driver who reacted quickly enough to avoid the sports car smashing the white car to pieces, but even so, the white car’s rear was damaged.
Huo Chengxuan got out of the car furiously. On closer look, he was blind in one eye, his left eye tightly closed with a deep knife scar visible to the bone.
He kicked the white car’s door fiercely.
His violent behavior attracted many onlookers.
Later, Sui Youran, looking pale and sickly, got out of the car and pulled Huo Chengxuan into her arms, stopping his crazy behavior.
She let Huo Chengxuan take her away, and the two drove off in the sports car.
Xie Jingyan’s lips curved into a slight smile, his eyes very cold: “Sure enough, crazy people are suited to be with other crazy people, or else they just harm others when they come out.”
After saying that, he looked toward the restaurant, his expression somewhat dissatisfied: “Half an hour has passed. Does eating a meal take this long?”
Little Honey: [……emmm, is it possible… that the dishes ordered half an hour ago aren’t even cooked yet, dear?]
