Ning Wan: ...He actually said it!
[Does the host want to explain? ]
Xiao Qi, who witnessed Chu Si imagining a big drama, tested him in a low voice.
Ning Wan touched the silver in his hand.
explain?
The money was earned from reselling the jade pendant, which was given to him by Cen Huaiwen.
If she explained, then the fact that Cen Huaiwen broke into her room at night yesterday would definitely not be concealed.
Can she tell the reason why Cen Huaiwen gave her the jade pendant?
It would be better for Chu Si to misunderstand him.
Ning Wan blinked and raised an eyebrow, "Well, Fourth Brother, is there any problem?"
Chu Si looked at Ning Wan who admitted it so confidently, then looked at the slightly messy hem of Ning Wan's skirt. It took him a long time to clear his cough unnaturally.
“No problem, but you bring Mr. Shen…”
"I didn't bring him with me." This time, Ning Wan didn't wait for Chu Si to finish his words. She opened her eyes slightly and explained very seriously, "I just happened to run into him when I was coming back. I saw that he was about to fall, so I helped him up. I didn't use Master Shen to play the victim."
Ning Wan knew very well in her heart that Shen Jingze would not expose her.
After all, he had no way to explain Cen Huaiwen's affairs to Chu Si, let alone reveal the jade pendant.
“If Fourth Brother doesn’t believe it, you can ask Master Shen later.”
Ning Wan's face tensed as she spoke. She tilted her head to look at the door, her eyes gradually misting over. "I would lie to you, but Master Shen wouldn't lie to you, would he?"
The aggrieved tone made Chu Si realize that he had gone too far today.
Chu Si looked at Ning Wan who didn't want to say anything more, and rummaged in his arms. Not long after, he took out a brocade bag.
"Take a look." Chu Si put the brocade bag on the table, sat aside and sipped the tea quietly.
Ning Wan raised her eyes and cautiously glanced at the brocade bag on the table.
[Host, there is a house deed inside.]
Xiao Qi, who was watching from the side, thought for a while and finally said it out.
The moment Xiao Qi finished speaking, Ning Wan's movements became much more coherent.
He picked up the brocade bag on the table and glanced at Chu Si who was sitting opposite him. "Is it for me?"
Hearing this, Chu Si nodded, chuckled and said, "Who else can I give it to?"
Ning Wan's eyes, which were still misty, lit up and she opened the brocade bag.
Just as Xiaoqi said, there was a house deed in the brocade bag.
She originally thought that Chu Si was just talking nonsense, but she didn't expect that she was too narrow-minded.
With Xiao Qi's introduction, Ning Wan deeply understood what it meant to show off wealth invisibly.
The housing prices in Luoping are ridiculously expensive, and even those who want to buy a house may not be able to find a way to do so.
But Chu Si just took out a piece of paper and found the house in the most central part of Luoping.
Ning Wan didn't even glance at it, and directly put the five taels of silver back on the table. The mist in her eyes was gone, "Fourth brother, you can't regret it."
Chu Si glanced indifferently at the five taels of silver on the table, looked at Ning Wan whose face was filled with smiles again, and sighed slowly.
Does he look like someone who would do such a thing?
"Keep the money. Your fourth brother doesn't need this little bit of money."
Ning Wan felt that the same words sounded particularly nice.
After hearing what Chu Si said, he put the silver away without hesitation.
She couldn't take Shen Jingze's, so she took her fourth brother's. The system wouldn't go crazy again, right?
The electronic voice that always liked to fake death did not appear again.
Upon seeing this, Chu Si didn't say much, but just called the waiter and ordered some food.
Although the streets were bustling, Ning Wan didn't have the leisure to go for a stroll.
After finishing breakfast, he went upstairs and returned to his room.
Chu Si knocked on Shen Jingze's door carrying a bowl of white porridge and two big meat buns.
"Enter."
Chu Si opened the door and saw Shen Jingze reading a book. He put the breakfast on the table beside him and said, "You are not in good health. You should eat something."
The moment Chu Si came in, Shen Jingze put down the book in his hand and stood up again.
"Mr. Chu is here, but is there anything you want to ask?"
Shen Jingze's expression was very calm, as if he had a premonition that Chu Si's purpose in coming here was not as simple as delivering breakfast.
Chu Si was stunned.
I was just thinking about how to open my mouth, but I didn't expect Shen Jingze to say it so directly.
Chu Si nodded somewhat embarrassedly.
Shen Jingze tightened his hands hidden in his sleeves, and looking at Chu Si who was unable to hide his nervousness, he said, "Don't worry, Mr. Chu, I didn't go out with Miss Ning. I just ran into her by accident when I came back."
After hearing Shen Jingze's explanation, Chu Si couldn't help but frown.
Shen Jingze didn't seem as indifferent as he appeared.
Therefore, the moment he went upstairs and entered the room, Shen Jingze's attention was always on Ning Wan and Chu Si, so he heard every word of the conversation between the two.
He knew clearly that this behavior was not what a gentleman would do, but when he heard Ning Wan's words "He's not hungry", Shen Jingze was unhappy and wanted to continue listening.
He wanted to know how she would explain to Chu Si what happened this morning.
The result was not beyond his expectations.
Just as Ning Wan guessed, Shen Jingze had no intention of telling the truth.
Chu Si sighed slightly and muttered softly: "It's my fault for being an incompetent brother."
The house was actually a birthday gift he bought for Ning Wan.
Eighteen is also a special day.
It’s just that I was busy with other things a few days ago, and the house deed had not been received yet, so I didn’t mention this matter to Ning Wan.
I don’t know what she is thinking about begging.
Shen Jingze did not wait for Chu Si's follow-up words. He just listened to Chu Si's words and drank the white rice porridge in front of him in silence.
Brother?
Does she think so too?
Shen Jingze smiled in his heart. If Chu Si knew Ning Wan's feelings for him, would he still feel so guilty today?
Shen Jingze glanced at the wall on the right side of the room calmly, a very weak white light flashing in his eyes.
Then, he saw Ning Wan holding the brocade bag and sitting at the table, grinning foolishly.
At the same time, Ning Wan, who was looking at the house deed with a happy smile, received Xiao Qi's reminder.
[Host, the male protagonist is watching you next door. ]
Xiao Qi just felt that the male protagonist's eyes were a little weird, as if there was a conspiracy behind it.
“How could Shen Jingze see me next door? Xiao Qi, stop joking.”
Ning Wan retorted subconsciously, but the smile on her face became noticeably stiffer.
Xiao Qi didn't lie. He looked at the host in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and then told the truth: "Host, in the eyes of the male protagonist, this wall is just a decoration."
The brocade bag in Ning Wan's hand suddenly fell to the ground like a bleak leaf in the autumn wind, with a feeling of suffocation.
“Xiao Qi, has Shen Jingze seen it before?”
When Ning Wan said this, her voice trembled a little. She turned around and picked up the brocade bag. She looked as if nothing had happened, but her heartbeat was uncontrollably accelerating.
