Chapter 16 "Mrs. Xu praises me too much. What if I can't leave you anymore?"

When the car arrived in Nanshan District, Jiang Nuanzhu felt a little stuffy and wanted to get off for a walk.

Their villa is located at number six, about one kilometer away, about ten minutes' walk.

After getting out of the car, Jiang Nuanzhu looked up at the sky and said, "The moonlight is quite nice today."

Xu Heyi also looked up and said, "Indeed."

The Nanshan villa area has good greening, with tall trees all around. The villas are hidden behind the trees, and the lights are dim, revealing a hint of warmth.

Walking on the road, you can feel the sense of being on a secluded path.

The two walked side by side, and the night wind seemed to be gentler.

Jiang Nuanzhu lifted the hair by her ear and asked softly, "Should we go to the Xu family for dinner?"

"No rush. Let's wait until we are more familiar with each other before bringing you here, otherwise you won't be able to adapt."

Jiang Nuanzhu looked at him in surprise, "Will this make me seem impolite?"

"No." Xu Heyi chuckled. "I've already told the Xu family in advance. My dad will understand."

"Actually, I'm not afraid."

"I know, I'm worried that you won't be able to adapt."

Jiang Nuanzhu's cheeks were slightly red, but fortunately it was night time so it was not very noticeable.

"You seem to be good at sweet talk?"

Xu Heyi's brows moved slightly, his eyes calm: "Really? You are the first person to praise me like this."

He said this calmly, which made people feel very steady and reliable, and also revealed a bit of unintentional gentleness.

Jiang Nuanzhu smiled lightly and said, "Then I will praise you more in the future?"

"Forget it."

"Why?"

"Mrs. Xu praises me too much. What if I can't leave you one day?"

Jiang Nuanzhu was startled, and pretended to look at the trees by the roadside. "We are already married, why did you leave me?"

"I was wrong." Xu Heyi said gently, "Then praise me more. Anyway, I can't live without you."

Jiang Nuanzhu felt a little hot and responded softly.

The hand was suddenly wrapped by a big palm.

Their fingers were intertwined, and the scorching temperature was transmitted along their skin. Jiang Nuanzhu's heartbeat became faster and faster, but she did not feel disgusted at all.

Jiang Nuanzhu actually doesn't like having ambiguous behavior outside. Excessive skin contact will make her feel psychologically disgusted.

Jiang Nuanzhu couldn't control this feeling.

In the early days, Yan Shi actually took the initiative to approach her, but later they had several quarrels because of her resistance.

Yan Shi thought Jiang Nuanzhu was sick at the time and asked her to see a psychiatrist.

Jiang Nuanzhu went to see a psychologist, who said that there was nothing wrong with her, but she was too aware of her private sphere and had not yet fully accepted the other person.

Now thinking about the doctor's words again, Jiang Nuanzhu suddenly realized something.

Perhaps, she didn't like Yan Shi that much.

Xu Heyi glanced at Jiang Nuanzhu and saw that he frowned and then relaxed, as if he was struggling with something.

"What are you thinking about?"

Jiang Nuanzhu was called back to her senses by Xu Heyi, and she said unconsciously: "I'm wondering why I don't hate your touch."

After saying this, a faint embarrassment began to spread from the bottom of my heart.

Jiang Nuanzhu had a calm smile on her face, but in fact, her toes were so awkward that they were about to dig out a three-bedroom apartment.

A faint light flashed in Xu Heyi's eyes, "Then whose touch do you hate?"

Jiang Nuanzhu stopped talking.

I confessed the family affairs to Xu Heyi because I didn't want to leave hidden dangers for the future.

But discussing her ex-fiancé with her current husband... Jiang Nuanzhu wouldn't complain that her current life is too peaceful.

At this moment, a slight meow broke the quiet atmosphere and rescued Jiang Nuanzhu.

"Did you hear anything?"

Xu Heyi: "Cat's meow."

Jiang Nuanzhu searched around and found a small box in the grass by the roadside.

When I got closer, I saw a small ragdoll cat in the box. It was about a month old, with big innocent eyes. It was so cute that it would melt your heart.

There were also some odds and ends piled in the box.

Jiang Nuanzhu squatted down and saw that there was the kitten's health certificate, vaccination certificate, a small bag of cat food, a cat bowl, cat litter... and various small daily necessities in the box.

"Whose kitten is this?"

Xu Heyi: "Maybe they were abandoned."

"But who would make such careful preparations before abandoning a kitten?" Jiang Nuanzhu couldn't even recognize all the items in the box.

She looked up and around. Villa No. 4 was less than five meters away, and the lights on the second floor were still on.

Jiang Nuanzhu vaguely saw a figure in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

Just as I was about to take a closer look, the lights on the second floor went out immediately.

Jiang Nuanzhu: "...right at the door of Villa No. 4, could it be the cat of this family?"

"Go ask."

Xu Heyi doesn't come here often and is not very familiar with the owners of the villa area.

After ringing the doorbell of Villa No. 4, an aunt in an apron soon opened the door.

Jiang Nuanzhu was holding the cat, and Xu Heyi was standing behind her holding a box. "Hello, is this your cat?"

Auntie took a look and shook her head firmly, "No."

"Really?"

Auntie said with certainty: "No, we don't have cats at home."

Coincidentally, a cat's meow came from behind her.

Auntie smiled awkwardly and said, "It's really not ours. You can ask if it belongs to someone else's family."

After saying that, he closed the door.

Jiang Nuanzhu held the kitten and turned her head to look at Xu Heyi quietly.

Xu Heyi saw her looking at him eagerly, her clear eyes full of hope, and his heart softened.

"If you want to keep it, take it back."

“Are you allergic to cats?”

“Not allergic.”

Jiang Nuanzhu was indeed very moved. This little ragdoll cat was so cute.

She had wanted to have a cat for a long time, but Yan Shi was allergic to cats, so she could only think about it but not keep one.

Now a kitten has fallen from the sky, deliberately teasing Jiang Nuanzhu's heart.

Jiang Nuanzhu held the little ragdoll cat in her arms and stroked it gently, her eyes curved. "Let's find its owner first. Maybe the owner accidentally lost it? If no one adopts it, we can just keep it, okay?"

"good."

There was only indulgence in Xu Heyi's low voice.

When Jiang Nuanzhu returned home in the evening, the smile on her face never disappeared.

Xu Heyi looked at her whispering to the kitten, and his deep eyes were filled with warmth.

As soon as he got back, Jiang Nuanzhu found a way to join the owners' group and asked whose cat was lost.

Only one or two people replied no, and the rest were mostly lurking.

After discussing with Xu Heyi, she gave the room opposite the master bedroom to Xiaomao to stay in temporarily.

When I turned around, I saw Xu Heyi holding the painting given by Mr. Fu and a red envelope.

He naturally handed the red envelope to Jiang Nuanzhu, held up the painting and asked, "Should I keep this painting or hang it up?"

Jiang Nuanzhu was a little at a loss holding the red envelope, but she answered Xu Heyi's question first.

"Hang it up. I think the villa is a bit empty and needs some decoration."

Jiang Nuanzhu lowered his head and asked, "Why did you give me the red envelope?"

"Hand it over." Xu Heyi said calmly: "From now on, the financial power of the family will be handed over to Mrs. Xu."

As he said that, he took Jiang Nuanzhu into the study.
