Chapter 112: Couldn’t Help But Soften
Jiang Ning: “……”
Why resort to personal attacks.
Gu Lanli didn’t provoke him or anything, yet he started cursing him as an idiot right away.
Seeing Jiang Ning not speaking, Xie Jingyan continued: “So this reason doesn’t hold up.”
“Are you sick? I don’t need your approval! Stay away from me from now on.” Jiang Ning pushed him away, thinking in her heart how Jiang Yan still hadn’t come.
Not long after, the Jiang Family driver drove over. He got out and opened the car door for Jiang Ning: “Miss, it’s the young master who asked me to come pick you up.”
Jiang Ning looked into the car and didn’t see Jiang Yan’s figure. She asked puzzledly: “Where’s Jiang Yan? Didn’t he come with you?”
The driver replied respectfully: “The young master left with classmates. He seemed to have something to do, so he asked me to come send you first.”
Behind him, Xie Jingyan’s mobile phone screen lit up.
He Shang replied to him “OK”.
Xie Jingyan turned off his mobile phone screen, turned his head to look at Jiang Ning, with his lip corner hooking up very subtly.
He lowered his eyes, leaned against the streetlight pole, his voice slightly hoarse: “Are you going to leave me here alone?”
Jiang Ning, who was just about to get into the car: “……”
She did indeed plan to do that.
The next second, Xie Jingyan sat on the ground, swaying and looking very dejected, with his head lowered: “You go ahead, don’t mind me.”
“……”
The uncle driver beside them clicked his tongue repeatedly: “How much did he drink to get this drunk.”
The uncle driver knew Xie Jingyan. Seeing him sitting alone on the ground, looking like he was about to fall over but not quite, he felt some pity: “Miss, how about we give him a ride? I see he seems to live alone in the old residential building, and no one will come pick him up.”
Jiang Ning turned her head to glance at Xie Jingyan.
He didn’t even care if the ground was dirty, his back leaning against the streetlight, his long legs slightly bent, eyes closed with his head against the pole, looking like he could fall asleep anytime.
Knowing that Xie Jingyan was Meng Jing, Jiang Ning naturally knew that Xie Jingyan in Jin Cheng was all alone.
Xiao He had already followed her suggestion to go to the capital city for treatment.
Old Mrs. Xie was taking care of Xie He there.
Only Xie Jingyan was all alone.
Jiang Ning couldn’t help but soften her heart.
She felt a bit irritated.
In the end, she still sighed, walked slowly to Xie Jingyan’s side, squatted down to look at him, with a stinky face: “Are you going or not? If not, I’m really leaving.”
Only then did Xie Jingyan open his eyes and smile at her: “I thought you didn’t want me anymore.”
Jiang Ning rolled her eyes at him and muttered: “I never wanted you in the first place.”
She reached out to him: “Hurry up, I want to go back and sleep.”
Only then did Xie Jingyan tightly grip Jiang Ning’s hand, using the force to stand up from the ground, and was supported by Jiang Ning as he was tossed into the back seat of the car.
Jiang Ning then sat into the back seat and instructed the driver: “Take him first. You should know the address, right?”
The uncle driver agreed: “Yes, yes.”
The partition in the car rose up, and the car steadily drove away.
Until a slightly cool hand touched her palm, Jiang Ning instantly came back to her senses.
In the darkness, Xie Jingyan’s gaze was intense: “Jiang Ning, you’re so warm.”
The weather at the end of October carried some chill, but wearing a jacket wasn’t too cold.
Jiang Ning disdainfully glanced at him, responding to his words and proudly raising her brows: “I’m different from a weakling like you. My body is super strong, like a little stove in winter, and I rarely get sick!”
Jiang Ning rarely got sick in either the original world or this world; her physical fitness was extremely high.
It was just that in the original world, she often got busy until she went hungry and sometimes had stomachaches, but taking two stomach pills each time made her full of energy again.
In this world, this body was just a bit delicate and had no other issues. Three meals a day were nutritionally balanced. Except for her often sneaking grilled sausages at the school gate after school, the original body hadn’t eaten any junk food from childhood to now.
And Xie Jingyan caught the key word in her words: “I’m weak?”
“Heh, so you know.” His voice was lightly mocking.
“Isn’t that true?” Jiang Ning retorted: “I drank too, so why didn’t I end up like you.”
Drinking?
She drank with Wei Jin?
That bastard clearly had no good intentions, taking Jiang Ning drinking—his heart is damnable!
He suppressed his emotion, hand resting on his forehead, asking knowingly: “Who did you go out with?”
Jiang Ning lightly hummed: “You don’t need to know.”
Xie Jingyan couldn’t even force a smile now.
He was pissed off to death.
Because of the anger, his head felt even dizzier; chugging those two bottles of liquor too fast made his head hurt a bit.
“Not saying? I’ll definitely tell your dad you skipped class, unless that person is more important than your year’s pocket money.”
Jiang Ning incredulously widened her eyes, grinding her teeth: “You, you, you’re really vicious! You even say I’m vicious—how are you any better? Using my dad… oh no, using my pocket money to threaten me—what kind of man are you!”
Xie Jingyan lightly scoffed: “You don’t have to say.”
He knew clearly in his heart but still had to pretend not to know, making Jiang Ning tell him herself.
Jiang Ning hated him so much her teeth itched: “I should have just left you at the food street and ignored you.”
“Who was it?”
Xie Jingyan completely ignored her and just asked about that one thing.
Jiang Ning was truly convinced by him.
“Wei Jin, it was Wei Jin, okay? What’s the big deal? I was hungry, so I went out to eat.”
“He took you drinking.” Xie Jingyan said.
Jiang Ning was stunned, blinking: “Can’t I drink?”
Xie Jingyan turned his head and looked at Jiang Ning seriously: “He had no good intentions.”
Jiang Ning felt a momentary guilt from his stare, like she’d been caught cheating.
But then she thought, Xie Jingyan didn’t know her real identity anyway, so what was she afraid of.
Just as she was preparing to brew a response, the car stopped at the rusty iron gate of the old residential building.
“Miss, we’re here.”
Xie Jingyan: “Take me up, and I’ll pretend I didn’t see you with Wei Jin.”
Jiang Ning: “……”
The world turned upside down, and now he’s threatening her?
Jiang Ning prepared to curse him out harshly.
The next second, Xie Jingyan spoke: “Otherwise, I’ll tell your dad that his daughter ran off with the redhead.”
Jiang Ning’s mouth opened and closed, finally squeezing out: “Fine, you win.”
The corridor lights at night were very dim; Jiang Ning didn’t like this place much—it looked like a dangerous building.
Jiang Ning walked behind Xie Jingyan. When he swayed, she reached out to support him; she felt just like a nanny.
Finally arriving at the fourth floor, Jiang Ning felt her mission was complete and she could leave.
The next instant, the door was opened.
Xie Jingyan grabbed Jiang Ning’s hand and forcefully pulled her inside.
The door was heavily shut.
He pinned Jiang Ning against the back of the door.
The living room was dark, without a trace of light.
Jiang Ning, still shaken, came back to her senses and got annoyed: “What are you doing? Let go of me.”
He leaned down, blocking her chattering lips, his thin lips grinding lightly against her soft red ones.
The scent of baijiu passed over.
Jiang Ning’s dazed mind went completely blank.
When she reacted and wanted to push him away.
He had learned from last time and firmly gripped her hand, pressing her deeper and deeper.

Old Xie: Wuwuwu, kissed the fragrant soft wife again—future looks promising!
