Chapter 11
Chen Fengni is already engaged to Yu Qian, a well-matched woman who dotes on her. She lives in Yu Qian's luxurious home and is showered with expensive gifts.
Jiang Zhuoyan had heard such rumors more than once.
The first time I felt upset, the second time I felt lost, and the third time I felt calm.
There are countless regrets in the world, and no one can avoid them.
As long as Chen Fengni is happy, she will be happy for her.
The glass window reflected the blurry figure of the woman beside him. Jiang Zhuoyan lowered his eyes and saw the faint red mark on her white ankle.
He didn't notice such obvious discomfort, or maybe he noticed it but didn't care.
Shen Fengni...is she really happy?
"Is this one okay?"
The clean and clear voice brings back thoughts.
The two of them were only a step apart when Jiang Zhuoyan could smell the scent of perfume. It wasn't overpowering, but rather a refreshing, herbal fragrance that lingered.
Shen Fengni was looking at her, her eyes clear. Her fingertips were touching a spot on the glass, pointing to a light blue dress. The color was like a clear sky, the fabric was soft, and the dress was graceful and elegant.
It suits her very well.
Jiang Zhuoyan said, "Of course."
She asked Chen Fengni for her size and took down matching shoes from the shelf next to her.
Although Jiang Zhuoyan always treated her gently and politely, Chen Fengni was always worried.
No reward without merit, she was not used to such unprovoked kindness.
"Thank you." She hesitated, "But how do I return it to you?"
Although it was Jiang Zhuoyan who soiled her dress, it was obvious from the fabric that the dress was of great value and much more exquisite than the one Yu Qian prepared for her.
It’s better to return such valuable items.
"No need. I'll give it to you if you like it." Jiang Zhuoyan looked away, took two steps forward, and opened a drawer. "Here are some Band-Aids. I'll wait for you at the door."
That’s right, why would someone like Jiang Zhuoyan want clothes that have been used by others?
Then I have to find other ways to express my gratitude.
Shen Fengni pondered secretly.
The sky blue dress seemed to be tailor-made for her, every part of it fit her comfortably, as if it belonged to her.
The smooth mirror surface reflected her graceful figure, her eyebrows and eyes becoming vivid. Shen Fengni touched up her makeup and put a Band-Aid on the wound on her ankle, looking completely refreshed.
Jiang Zhuoyan waited at the door as promised, her eyes slightly lowered, as if she was tired. I don't know what she was thinking about, or if she was just daydreaming.
Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, she looked over sideways.
Perhaps it was the effect of the light, but Shen Fengni saw a bright flash in those dark blue eyes, like fireworks blooming in the night sky, and scattered in the wind in the blink of an eye.
Shen Fengni was inexplicably nervous and gently lifted her skirt, "Does it look good?"
After saying that, she felt a little regretful. It seemed that she and Jiang Zhuoyan were not familiar enough to ask such a question.
Fortunately, Jiang Zhuoyan didn't show any displeasure. She nodded in affirmation, "Very beautiful."
When the two were about to go downstairs, a faint cat's meow suddenly sounded in their ears.
Chen Fengni almost thought she was hallucinating, but the next second, a fluffy figure suddenly rushed towards her from the other end of the corridor.
It is a beautiful long-haired calico cat with a chubby face and round, bright eyes. It is lovable no matter how you look at it.
The cat is very clingy and knows that it is cute. It circles around Jiang Zhuoyan, whimpering and acting coquettishly, rubbing its head against him.
The tail swept across Shen Fengni's calf, causing a slight itch.
"Alright, alright." Jiang Zhuoyan softened his tone, bent down to pick up the cat, petted it twice, then turned to explain to Shen Fengni, "It likes to run around and is always restless."
She had never restrained it in the past, but tonight she had a social gathering at home, so she locked it in the room. However, the little guy was very smart, and his skills in opening the door and escaping became more and more sophisticated, catching her off guard.
The cat calmed down in Jiang Zhuoyan's arms, its black eyes looked at the stranger curiously, and it meowed twice.
Shen Fengni couldn't help but laugh, "It's so cute."
"Want a hug?"
The unexpected question made Shen Fengni's smile pause.
Is it possible that Mr. Jiang, who is rumored to be unattainable, is actually so approachable in private?
He personally helped her choose suitable clothes and shoes. After noticing her love for cats, he took the initiative to let her hold the cat, and his tone was as casual as if she were a friend.
The man and the cat looked at her at the same time, as if waiting for her reply together.
This temptation was too great to resist. Shen Fengni extended her arm, "If possible."
The cat's body was soft and warm, and it filled my arms. Unsuspectingly, it changed into a comfortable position and nestled into my arms.
So well-behaved that it makes people happy.
Chen Fengni smiled lightly, stroked the cat's back with her fingers, and heard a comfortable purring as she wished.
She teased the cat and looked up and asked, "What's its name?"
"Its name is, Nini."
When answering this question, Jiang Zhuoyan's tone was a little unnatural. She didn't look at Shen Fengni and changed the subject, "It was originally a stray cat. I came across it by chance and brought it back."
Chen Fengni's eyes were filled with surprise. "A stray cat? I can't tell it's a stray cat at all."
She noticed that "Nini" was pronounced similarly to the "Ni" in her name, but given her relationship with Jiang Zhuoyan, she would not indulge in such presumptuous thinking.
What surprised her was not only Nini's beautiful appearance, but also the closeness and trust she showed towards strangers. She didn't look like a stray dog.
She had rescued a calico cat before, but it was so dirty and skinny that she didn't have the confidence to take good care of it, so she sent it to a cat cafe owner she knew.
Don't know how it is now.
Jiang Zhuoyan replied, "It is said that he was kept by someone for a while before."
At that time, she went to a cat cafe to adopt Nini. The owner said that the cat was abandoned because it was sick, so he would be extra cautious when choosing an owner again.
Jiang Zhuoyan felt distressed when she heard this, and directly said that she could reimburse all the medical expenses paid by the boss, and would also donate a sum of money to the cat cafe as a relief fund, successfully standing out from several competitors.
Chen Fengni sighed, "Such a cute one, yet someone is willing to abandon it."
"Not everyone is willing to take responsibility." Jiang Zhuoyan gently scratched the cat's chin. "Maybe they just like its cute appearance, and once it becomes a nuisance, they will want to throw it away immediately."
She looked at the people around her and suddenly asked, "What about you, do you have a cat?"
Shen Fengni shook her head, "No."
She knew she couldn't hide her love for cats, so before the other person spoke again, she anticipated the next question, "I don't have much confidence in myself. I'm worried I can't take good care of them."
Jiang Zhuoyan was silent for a moment after hearing this, but did not continue to ask, "You can come and play when you are free. Nini likes you very much."
This sentence is just like "Let's have dinner together when you have time", probably just a polite way of saying it.
However, given Jiang Zhuoyan's status and position, even if he was being polite, it was still flattering.
Shen Fengni didn't take it seriously, she just smiled and agreed, "Okay."
Having learned from their mistakes, the two men sent the cat back to the bedroom and locked it from the outside.
Perhaps feeling indebted, Jiang Zhuoyan even opened a can before leaving.
Back on the first floor, the noise instantly filled my eardrums.
Many people were waiting for Jiang Zhuoyan. As soon as he entered the venue, several figures walked over quickly with attentive and eager smiles on their faces.
Jiang Zhuoyan said goodbye to her and returned to the crowd.
When she talked to the people around her, her softness and easy-going nature were all put away, and she returned to her usual indifferent appearance, as if she was covered with a layer of frost and snow again.
Shen Fengni stared at the figure, lost in thought for a moment.
What just happened seemed like a dream, short and unreal, but very impressive.
She suddenly felt curious.
Which one is the real Jiang Zhuoyan, the cold and aloof Jiang Zhuoyan in the world of fame and fortune, or the gentle and easy-going Jiang Zhuoyan in private.
But everyone has many faces, and Jiang Zhuoyan should be no exception.
"Feng Ni, you're back."
Yu Qian came over and frowned slightly when she saw her new dress. But when she noticed the other people looking at her, she put on a nonchalant smile and said, "The dress suits you very well."
Too bland, boring.
It actually matches Shen Fengni's style.
Yu Qian's eyes swept over the two paper bags in Shen Fengni's hands, which contained her changed clothes and shoes. Mr. Jiang was very attentive to his guests, and it was impossible to find fault with him.
Shen Fengni replied calmly, "Sorry for the long wait."
She lifted the paper bag in her hand and said, "I'll find a place to put it down first."
"Don't bother." Yu Qian retracted her gaze and said casually, "Just throw it away."
High-end fabrics are extremely fragile and difficult to clean. Even sending them to the laundry might not restore them to their original condition, so she was too lazy to bother.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to this side for a while, Yu Qian lowered her voice and asked, "But why did you go away for so long? Did you say anything you shouldn't have said?"
Chen Fengni's daily life was very monotonous. Apart from live streaming, she didn't socialize much with others, so she didn't have much vision. If it weren't for Jiang Zhuoyan's insistence, she wouldn't have wanted the two of them to be alone.
Shen Fengni's eyes moved slightly.
What shouldn’t be said... What is it that shouldn’t be said?
She looked at Jiang Zhuoyan in the crowd.
She is graceful and elegant, with a white dress as white as snow, which is stunning and cannot be ignored at first sight.
Jiang Zhuoyan was already accustomed to such occasions, neither humble nor overbearing, and handled it calmly. It was as if even if a landslide or tsunami occurred in the next second, he could handle it calmly.
But she found a chance when no one was watching, turned around quietly, and removed a cat hair that she had not cleaned off the hem of her skirt, with an expression of helplessness and doting on her face.
It was like a feather brushing across the palm of his hand, and a wonderful feeling arose in Shen Fengni's heart.
She couldn't help but recall the cat's soft touch and the gentle smile in Jiang Zhuoyan's eyes.
In the bustling crowd, the two of them were carrying the same secret.
No one else knows.
Shen Fengni raised her lips, and her mood suddenly became very good.
"Feng Ni, are you listening?" Yu Qian, not getting a response, raised her voice in frustration, "You didn't offend anyone just now, did you?"
"No." Shen Fengni suppressed her smile and replied calmly, "We get along very well."
