Seeing her like this, Jiang Xiaochen felt nothing but heartache: "Silly girl, if you have nowhere to go, come home with me. Zhong Yan, my home is always open for you!"
He tapped his heart, speaking slowly and deliberately.
Zhong Yan suddenly felt like crying. After experiencing so much in her past life, she no longer believed in any feelings. But hearing him say this, her heart was still filled with emotion.
“Jiang Xiaochen, you really don’t need to be so nice to me.”
“I do.” Jiang Xiaochen gently touched her forehead, his voice full of affection: “Zhong Yan, I love you, so I’m willing to do anything for you.”
“Then, if, if…” Zhong Yan didn’t know how to express herself. To be more precise, she didn’t know what the right thing to do was!
He stirred up my once peaceful heart.
Zhong Yan originally planned to find Wu Sandao's whereabouts and resolve everything on her own. After all, the enemy had always been in the shadows while she was in the open, and this situation would be disadvantageous no matter what she did.
However, after hearing what Jiang Xiaochen said, her heart softened.
“Jiang Xiaochen, you know perfectly well that I…”
"It's precisely because I know this that I can't bear to part with it." Jiang Xiaochen didn't give her a chance to refuse at all, throwing out sweet words one after another as if they were free.
Gradually...
Zhong Yan couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips into a slight smile.
Jiang Xiaochen breathed a sigh of relief again. He was actually quite afraid that she would act willfully, after all, he was no match for her now, which made him very distressed.
"You little ingrate, if you scare me again, I'm dumping you!"
"Ahem, actually I didn't mean to scare you just now..."
"I'd rather you were just trying to scare me!" Jiang Xiaochen snorted, clearly quite dissatisfied with her attitude: "If you do this again next time, I won't be so polite."
“Okay.” Zhong Yan paused for a moment before finally giving her answer: “Now I need to go see Huang Youde. His approval should have come through by now.”
Now that she has left school, she needs to find a place to stand for herself.
Clearly, the small courtyard where Zhong Yan used to live with her grandmother is no longer suitable to go back to. Putting aside whether the people from the Celestial Masters Sect will come to cause trouble, the mere sight of it will trigger painful memories for her.
Zhong Yan has no intention of self-torture.
Therefore, she needs a lot of money. Moreover, she also needs to find ways to develop her own business, such as opening up her previous Taobao store, taking orders, and making the Zhong family's reputation known.
Wu Sandao thought his greatest strength lay in his renowned reputation, so she wanted to show him that the Zhong family's brilliance was unmatched.
As for the five-colored stones he wanted...
hehe.
If it really comes to that, Zhong Yan would rather perish together with them than satisfy their despicable desires.
Jiang Xiaochen was very patient, listening to her rambling on for a long time. His eyes darkened slightly: "You're not telling the truth, Zhong Yan. Are you thinking of using Bai Xi to find her remnant soul?"
Zhong Yan: "..."
Is he a mind reader? He seems to know everything she's thinking! How can he be so unreliable? More importantly, now that he's exposed her, won't it be very inconvenient for her to do anything in the future?
She wanted to get away with it, but Jiang Xiaochen's expression told her that it was best not to lie.
