But in reality...
Enjoying the scenery was an excuse; the real purpose was to create a private world for Jiang Ning and Shen Jingnian.
so.
Not long after arriving at the back garden, Jiang Ning simply went to the restroom. When she came out again, only Shen Jingnian remained in the pavilion.
Jiang Ning asked in confusion, "Where are Auntie and Sister Shen?"
Shen Jingnian said, "They seem to have gone over there to see the camellias."
"What about my brother-in-law and Haotian?" Jiang Ning then asked.
"They went to the kitchen to cook, saying they'd show off their skills to you today," Shen Jingnian said.
"You went to cook?" Jiang Ning asked in surprise, "Are your brother-in-law and Haotian so amazing? They can actually cook!"
"Is being able to cook a big deal?" Shen Jingnian asked.
“Of course it’s amazing,” Jiang Ning looked at Shen Jingnian and asked with a smile, “Do you know how to do it too?”
"Yes, yes," Shen Jingnian nodded slightly. "If they can do it, of course I can too."
But a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.
Feeling guilty.
"You're really amazing!" Jiang Ning picked up her cup and took a sip of tea. "I've tried to learn to cook before, but it's too much trouble. How did you learn? I really didn't expect you could cook!"
Jiang Ning originally thought that someone like Shen Jingnian would disdain going into the kitchen.
Unexpectedly, he was different from others.
"Cooking is actually very simple, not as complicated as you think." Shen Jingnian's expression remained normal, but inside he was panicking terribly.
"You're amazing!" Jiang Ning gave him a thumbs-up.
If the conversation continued, Shen Jingnian would break out in a cold sweat. He quickly changed the subject: "Ningning, this is a rare opportunity. How about we play a game of chess?"
“Okay.” Jiang Ning’s attention was immediately drawn to Go.
Shen Jingnian sent a message to the servants in Shen Garden to send over a Go set.
soon.
The two then engaged in battle.
Back and forth.
Old Madam Shen and Shen Jingshu hid behind a pillar not far away, watching everything that was happening in the pavilion.
It has a strong sense of theft.
Shen Jingshu exclaimed, "What a perfect couple! Jingnian and Ningning are such a perfect match, they're so pleasing to the eye!"
Madam Shen nodded, "I can't even imagine how beautiful my future granddaughter will be!"
She could even see her adorable granddaughter waving at her.
evening.
After Jiang Ning returned home, Shen Jingnian first ordered two cookbooks online.
Then I enrolled in an offline cooking training course.
He just bragged about it!
Even if you have to crawl, you have to finish!
And you have to sneak through it.

Monday morning.
Jiang Ning and Yue Qianlan made a promise to go to school together.
As soon as the two arrived at the school gate, Qian Sicheng caught up from behind.
"Jiang Ning, please wait a moment."
"What's wrong?" Jiang Ning turned her head slightly.
Qian Sicheng handed her the test paper, saying, "This one is yours."
"Finished watching?" Jiang Ning asked.
"Yes, I've finished reading it." Qian Sicheng's expression turned somewhat dejected as he said this. "Your level is too high. I might, I might not be able to surpass you in the next monthly exam."
Waaaaah!
He'll probably be second best forever from now on.
"So insecure?" Jiang Ning raised an eyebrow slightly.
"It's not that I lack confidence, it's that you have the ability." Qian Sicheng carefully studied Jiang Ning's test paper and discovered a frightening fact: Jiang Ning's essay was almost perfect, she only missed a few words in English, and her math mistakes were the most basic questions—not incorrect answers, but simply typos...
He tried to do that test paper.
Even if he tried his best without looking at the answers, he could only score around 690 points.
Therefore, he lacked confidence in surpassing Jiang Ning in the next monthly exam.
Qian Sicheng looked up at Jiang Ning, "However, although I won't be able to surpass you in the next monthly exam, Jiang Ning, don't be arrogant. I will work hard to surpass you in the college entrance exam! I definitely will!"
"Okay." Jiang Ning nodded.
After saying that, Qian Sicheng left.
Watching Qian Sicheng's retreating figure, Yue Qianlan crossed her arms and said with a smile, "This bookworm is quite interesting!"
Jiang Ning nodded in agreement, "It is indeed quite interesting."
As soon as He Suosuo entered the school gate, she saw Qian Sicheng approaching Jiang Ning.
He Suosuo frowned slightly, a hint of jealousy flashing in her eyes. "Shameless! She actually hooked up with Qian Sicheng so quickly!"
Qian Sicheng was not only a top student but also came from a very wealthy family.
In addition to her outstanding appearance, she had many admirers at school.
But Qian Sicheng was a bookworm, obsessed with studying, and never got close to girls.
Jiang Ning has only been here a few days, and even Qian Sicheng is chasing after her!
He Suosuo felt increasingly distressed the more she thought about it.
I'm so jealous I can't breathe.
no.
She couldn't let Jiang Ning be so smug!
He Suosuo quickened her pace to catch up with Qian Sicheng. "Qian Sicheng, Qian Sicheng, please wait."
Qian Sicheng stopped in his tracks. "Excuse me, classmate, is there something you need?"
"Jiang Ning is divorced."
Qian Sicheng frowned slightly, somewhat taken aback.
A smug glint flashed in He Suosuo's eyes. "Yes, you heard right, Jiang Ning was married before! She's just a unwanted secondhand item, don't get too close to her!"
Upon hearing these words, Qian Sicheng's face darkened instantly, and he said coldly, "So what if she's been married? Isn't your despicable behavior of slandering others behind their backs even more shameful than her being married?"
He Suosuo froze on the spot, her face turning pale and then red.
Why?
Why was the result a little different from what she had imagined?
Shouldn't Qian Sicheng join her in condemning Jiang Ning?
Why did he speak up for Jiang Ning?
Damn it!
Jiang Ning deserves to die!

Time flies.
Before you know it, a semester has come to an end.
The first day of winter vacation.
Yue Qianlan came to find Jiang Ning, wanting to invite her on a trip. "Ningning, let's go out and have fun for a few days, and then come back just in time for the New Year! Do you want to come with me?"
Coincidentally, Jiang Ning also had the idea of traveling before the New Year, but she didn't have any specific plans, so she asked Yue Qianlan, "Okay, March, where shall we go?"
How about going to Hong Kong?
