Chapter 25: Can I Promise Myself to You?
At this moment, the car stopped and the driver in the front seat said respectfully, "Master Jiu, we've arrived at the Nie family's old house!"
Li Jinxing nodded slightly and was about to send her in, but Nie Yao quickly waved her hand and said, "No need to get out of the car to send me in, thank you..."
After she said this, she quickly got out of the car with her backpack on her back, bent down and waved goodbye to Li Jinxing in the car.
"I hope that when we meet again in the future, you won't have to thank me anymore!" Li Jinxing curled his lips slightly, leaned out of the car, gently put his arm around her shoulders, gave her a goodbye hug, and whispered in her ear: "My life is far more valuable than these..."
"Then do you want to repay me in other ways?" Nie Yao turned her head and asked with a smile.
Li Jinxing thought for a moment and whispered, "How about I pledge my love to you?"
Nie Yao's mind went blank. Did she hear it right?
Seeing Nie Yao's dazed expression, Li Jinxing let out a low laugh. He ruffled her hair, said "see you later", and then let go of the hand that was hugging her.
"If you don't like those crystal shoes, just throw them away!"
After he finished speaking, the car door closed and the black car slowly drove away in front of her.
Nie Yao stood at the door of the Nie family and watched Li Jinxing's car leave. It took her a long time to come back to her senses. She touched her hot face, shook her head and laughed.
This Li Jinxing was truly a strange man. He had clearly helped her, but he didn't want her to thank him. He would rather she threw it away than take back the crystal slippers he had given her...
In the end, she even gave herself to me. A man like him, with his good looks and figure, will probably never be short of women around him!
Nie Yao shrugged self-deprecatingly and turned to walk into the Nie family's old house.
Because the banquet had not yet ended, the whole old house was very quiet. Seeing Nie Yao return alone, the old housekeeper Lu Yuan couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Miss, the banquet is over so soon, why did you come back alone?"
"It's not over yet. I felt bored so I came back..." Nie Yao picked up the kettle on the coffee table, poured herself a glass of water, and drank it in one gulp.
Butler Lu always felt that something was wrong, so he could only ask tentatively: "Miss, was the banquet okay?"
"That's it..." Nie Yao shrugged noncommittally, not mentioning the broken heel. She yawned and said to Butler Lu, "Uncle Lu, I'm tired. I'm going back to my room to rest!"
Butler Lu could only nod in response and watched Nie Yao go upstairs. After hesitating for a moment, he picked up the phone and dialed Nie's father's cell phone.
At the banquet, Mr. Nie planned to introduce Nie Yao to more people, but Nie Yao was nowhere to be found.
The person sent to look for her even told Mr. Nie that Nie Yao had left the banquet and no one knew where she went, which immediately made Mr. Nie's face look a little ugly.
Father Nie could understand his daughter's discomfort with such occasions. He smiled and explained a few words to Old Nie, then whispered, "Dad, don't worry. Didn't you notice that Master Li Jiu also left with A Yao?"
Elder Nie's expression softened slightly, and he murmured, "Speaking of which, how did A-Yao get to know Master Li Jiu?"
"I don't know. I'll ask when the time comes..." When Father Nie said this, he received a call from the old housekeeper, saying that Nie Yao had returned home.
"Go home?" Father Nie raised his eyebrows in surprise, and the secret joy he had originally thought of leaving with Master Li Jiu also dissipated a lot.
