The car drove into an old mansion and quietly stopped at the entrance. Jin Chengyan got out and extended his hand towards Qiao Nuo.
His fingers were long and well-defined, and despite the chaotic environment of the nightclub earlier, Qiao Nuo had held onto them; they felt broad and warm.
However, now, as she was supposed to place her hand in his so directly, she felt a bit flustered. After a moment of hesitation, Qiao Nuo placed her hand in his.
For Jin Chengyan, this was merely a gesture of politeness.
Standing in front of the old mansion, Qiao Nuo finally understood the immense power of the Jin Family.
The Jin Mansion was located in the city center. It was said that this area was once slated for demolition to build office buildings, but the Jin Family refused to let their ancestral home be torn down. They firmly stated that no amount of money would persuade them to move.
Since then, this mansion had been preserved peacefully amidst the chaos, and within a kilometer of Jin Mansion, there were no buildings taller than ten stories, showcasing just how formidable the Jin Family's influence was.
"If you plan to stand outside all night, I wouldn’t mind," Jin Chengyan teased as he looked at Qiao Nuo.
Once a wealthy heiress, she now seemed almost playfully innocent, as if she had never encountered such things before.
Qiao Nuo withdrew her gaze and looked towards Jin Chengyan. It seemed that he was somewhat different from the cold and unapproachable person described in rumors.
She followed Jin Chengyan inside.
After entering the room, Qiao Nuo suddenly remembered something and grabbed Jin Chengyan's shirt. "Hey, your parents don't live here, do they? Why did you bring me here?" She wished she could leave immediately; how had she not thought of this earlier?
On the other hand, Jin Chengyan looked at Qiao Nuo clutching the hem of his shirt, a slight smile playing at the corners of his mouth.
He turned around and walked towards her.
The door had already closed, and as Jin Chengyan pressed closer to her, Qiao Nuo could only retreat step by step until her back was against the door. He continued to lean in toward her.
In that moment, her breath quickened, as if her heart were about to leap out of her chest.
His hand rested against the door behind her, and his deep-set eyes locked onto Qiao Nuo's slightly flustered face. "Is there anything wrong with meeting the in-laws in advance?"
His tone left Qiao Nuo unsure whether he was joking or serious.
She reached out to push him away, but when her hand landed on his shoulder, all she felt was the heat radiating from his skin through his shirt—an incredibly warm temperature—and his muscles… were solid.
Instinctively, Qiao Nuo tried to retract her hand, but Jin Chengyan caught it.
"Stop messing around; I'm leaving," she said, struggling in vain as she allowed him to hold her hand.
"I'm not messing around. I asked you if you wanted to come home with me, and you agreed." His breath was so close that it made her face flush instantly. "Qiao Nuo, do you know what it means for a woman to go home with a man?"
Qiao Nuo bit her lip; this wasn't how it was supposed to be!
"You just saved me, and I have nowhere to go. You said you'd bring me here, but how was I to know you had so much on your mind?" The inner turmoil was truly rich.
Jin Chengyan chuckled softly, masking the captivating expression on his face with a more ordinary demeanor. However, for Qiao Nuo, who was so close to him, it was still quite a challenge.
Such a man was so exceptional that he made one hesitant to approach.
"Well, it's all my fault then! Are you planning to forgive me or not?"
Qiao Nuo instinctively nodded. His attitude was so good that she found no reason to refuse.
"Since you've forgiven me, I'll take you inside to meet your future in-laws."
Jin Chengyan took Qiao Nuo's hand and led her toward the living room.
Qiao Nuo was stunned. Was Jin Chengyan serious?
