After hearing this name, Jiang Rong's heart skipped a beat.
Seeing that something was wrong with her, Nie Xi asked, "What's wrong?"
"...It's okay." Jiang Rong smiled and changed the subject: "Then why didn't he continue in the 16th Bureau, but entered the parliament instead?"
"That's like a child without a mother. It's a long story." Nie Xi spread his hands. "You should ask him in person when you have time. I was a little surprised when he entered parliament at first. After all, politicians are filthy-minded. They're not suitable for us rough-hewn people who don't know how to play tricks. But then I found out that's Shang Shaoheng's hometown. He's a natural at handling politicians."
Shang Shaoheng's cold voice came: "Nie Xi, you talk too much today."
Nie Xi made a face to Jiang Rong that said, "Look, he told me to shut up again," and leaned back to continue playing his own game.
After the plane landed, Jiang Rong was about to go down with Nie Xi, but suddenly someone grabbed her clothes and hat. She was pulled back two steps and turned her head to see Shang Shaoheng's slightly lowered eyes.
"What are you following him for?" Shang Shaoheng asked without emotion, "Is he your creditor?"
Jiang Rong: "I have a cold, and I'm afraid I might infect you."
After a pause, he said confidently, "If you hadn't made me sleep on the floor, I wouldn't be sick with a fever. You can't hold a grudge against me just because I did something strange when I was sick."
Shang Shaoheng frowned: "When did I say I would bear grudge against you?"
"Besides, you got sick because you kicked the covers while you slept. I woke up at least three times during the night to cover you up." Shang Shaoheng scoffed, "Are you two years old? You need someone to watch over you while you sleep."
Jiang Rong clenched his fist to his lips and coughed, saying, "I didn't have this bad habit before..."
But Shang Shaoheng actually covered her with a quilt... Jiang Rong was quite surprised.
"I'm sorry to interrupt your romantic encounter." A clear and polite voice suddenly sounded from behind: "But please don't block the road and cause trouble for others."
When Jiang Rong heard the words "talk about love", her scalp tingled, the effect was comparable to hearing that Jiang Ci was waiting for her below with an eighty-meter-long sword.
She turned her head and saw that the person who was speaking was tall, wearing a sophisticated light grey shirt and black trousers. His features were handsome and three-dimensional, but his pupils were a strange shade of grey, making his eyes look particularly cold and indifferent.
It's obvious that this man comes from a prominent family. The arrogance and politeness ingrained in his bones are difficult to cultivate in a short period of time.
"You don't know him, let me introduce him to you." Nie Xi turned his head and said teasingly, "This is also one of the people you proposed to. His name is Wu Xingyi."
Jiang Rong: “…”
Wu Xingyi nodded to Jiang Rong: "I'm sorry to get to know you in this way."
Jiang Rong: “…”
"Let's go." Shang Shaoheng grabbed Jiang Rong's arm and led him down the passage.
Jiang Rong's cold hadn't fully healed yet, and she felt dizzy and groggy. She bumped into Shang Shaoheng's back several times, causing the tip of her nose to turn red. To prevent Shang Shaoheng from causing trouble for her, she even complained first: "Your back is so hard!"
Shang Shaoheng probably didn't want to argue with the sick girl, so he didn't retort, but just slowed down his pace.
The car had been waiting for a long time, and the driver was Chi Er. When he saw Jiang Rong wrapped in a blanket following Shang Shaoheng closely, he instantly imagined a million-word story of "The Domineering Instructor Falls in Love with Me" in his mind, and his eyes were very impure.
It was so impure that even Jiang Rong, who was not in a clear mind, could notice it.
She stared at Chi Er and said, "I think you have some very obscene thoughts in your mind."
Chi Er smiled: "How could that be, Miss? I'm just worried about your health. What's wrong with you?"
Jiang Rong wrapped the fluffy blanket tighter around him and pouted, "Ask your eldest brother."
Chi Er's face was instantly filled with "Oh, so that's how it is. It seems I was right."
Jiang Rong: “?”
I always feel like something is wrong.
Jiang Rong arrived at Bailu Manor in a daze. She wanted to fall asleep immediately, but Shang Shaoheng asked the servants to feed her half a bowl of porridge and took some medicine before he mercifully let her go to sleep.
Jiang Rong slept soundly and when he woke up it was already the next morning.
Fortunately, she woke up feeling refreshed and her cold was almost gone. After washing up, Jiang Rong staggered downstairs in her slippers. The servants she met along the way bowed respectfully to her and said hello, "Miss."
Today, the Egret Manor was much busier than usual. A distinguished guest had arrived early in the morning. The old butler placed two cups of tea on the coffee table and said, "Please wait a moment, young ladies. I've sent someone to get the things."
"No hurry." The girl wearing a dress from a famous brand's latest runway show smiled and said playfully, "I'm not in a hurry. I was originally planning to wait for Brother Shaoheng to come back for lunch."
Another girl in a pink skirt jokingly said, "Grandpa Lin, you probably don't know this. Originally, Xia Xia heard that Mr. Shang had returned and wanted to come and make him breakfast herself. Who knew that she would be disappointed? Mr. Shang had already left."
Zuo Xiaqing quickly said, "Xiao Tian, don't talk nonsense!"
Zhuo Xiaotian said with a smile: "I'm not talking nonsense. Some people heard the news that Shang Ye had returned and were so happy that they couldn't sleep last night."
She then asked Butler Lin, "Grandpa Lin, is Mr. Shang sure he wants to teach at the First Military Academy? Did he know that Xia Xia would also be attending the academy this year, and did he do this specifically for Xia Xia..."
Zuo Xiaqing was startled and said, "Xiao Tian, don't talk nonsense! Brother Shaoheng must have his own considerations for everything he does. How could it be for me?"
Steward Lin smiled and didn't answer. He just said, "Have some tea, young ladies."
It was at this time that Jiang Rong came downstairs.
She kept her eyelids drooping and only paid attention to the road under her feet. She did not notice that there were two other people in the living room. The sound of her slippers was not loud, but it was enough to attract other people's attention.
Zuo Xiaqing turned around following the sound and saw a girl in a white nightgown yawning and looking half asleep as she walked down the stairs slowly, holding the handrail. In the bright daylight, her skin was white and rosy, flawless, and even her long black hair was fluffy and smooth without any care.
But what caught the most attention was her face.
Even if it's just a side profile, you can still see her amazing beauty from her long and curled eyelashes, straight and small nose bridge, and plump and moist lips.
Zuo Xiaqing's heart skipped a beat, and she unconsciously pursed her lips: "Grandpa Lin, who is this?"
Only then did Jiang Rong realize that there was someone in the living room.
The two girls were both very beautiful, dressed elegantly and looked very sophisticated, and at first glance they were obviously daughters of wealthy families.
Butler Lin hesitated, not knowing how to introduce Jiang Rong's identity.
It is said that Jiang Rong is the young master's girlfriend, but the young master has not given her any official status.
It is said that Jiang Rong is the young master's friend... He has never seen the young master be so patient with any of his friends, even going to check in the middle of the night to see if the person has a fever again.
