“Qiao Nuo, I guess we’re friends now, right?” Yan Beiting said as he dropped Qiao Nuo off at her apartment building.
Qiao Nuo neither nodded nor shook her head.
He mentioned that he had a girl he deeply loved, yet Qiao Nuo sensed that he was drawing closer to her, intentionally or not. It wasn’t the kind of closeness that made her uncomfortable.
But if he were to take it a step further, she would definitely put a stop to it.
“Okay.” In the end, she nodded. They were friends, but it would never go beyond that boundary.
“Alright, see you.” He waved at Qiao Nuo.
As she got out of the car and walked a few steps, she turned back to look and noticed his car still parked there.
She had previously agreed with Jin Chengyan to head over to Jin Mansion.
Yet when she glanced back, she could still see Yan Beiting’s smiling eyes.
Inside the car, Yan Beiting watched Qiao Nuo and couldn’t help but smile.
His little girl, the one he had thought about for six years, the one who occasionally flashed through his mind while he was in America.
Now that he was finally back, forgive him for not recognizing her at first glance.
After all, he had only seen her that one afternoon and heard her classmates call her “Qiao Nuo,” nothing more.
Qiao Nuo, do you know that someone has liked you for six years in a place you’re unaware of?
Isn’t that kind of funny?
Yes, Yan Beiting thought it was quite amusing.
He found himself amusing too.
Who would have thought that our Yan San Shao’s heart belonged to her?
And this time, he didn’t want to miss out.
Qiao Nuo returned to the Jin Mansion, relieved that Jin Chengyan was not there.
She seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, grateful that she wouldn’t have to face him after their kiss, as she truly wasn’t ready for that.
Should they act as if nothing had happened and maintain their previous relationship?
Or had they grown closer?
No…
Ruan Shengyu.
Jin Chengyan had told her that he cherished a girl deeply. Yan Beiting had also informed her that the love of Jin Chengyan's life was Ruan Shengyu.
She knew that Jin Chengyan held Ruan Shengyu in a special regard, even willing to sacrifice another woman's marriage just to force Ruan Shengyu to confront her feelings.
In front of Ruan Shengyu, everyone else was merely a supporting character.
Thinking of this made Qiao Nuo feel inexplicably downcast.
In the following days, Jin Chengyan did not appear at all. As long as he didn’t contact Qiao Nuo, she had no idea what he was doing.
Inside the Jin Family Villa, the atmosphere in the dining room was tense and somber with the entire family gathered.
After a long silence, the head of the Jin Family, Jin Zhongshu, set down his chopsticks and surveyed the room before fixing his gaze on his son. His demeanor was calm; he wasn’t harsh but didn’t appear particularly kind either.
“A Yan, I plan to renovate the Old House this year. What do you think?” Jin Zhongshu spoke in a steady tone, not making Jin Chengyan feel anything unusual.
Jin Chengyan also put down his chopsticks and met his father’s gaze directly. “You can decide.”
Jin Zhongshu felt as if he had struck a pillow with his fist; it left him feeling frustrated, and he let out a cold snort.
Beside him, Mrs. Yu Xin immediately placed her hand on his arm to offer comfort.
“Yan, it’s like this. I recently chatted with a few of your aunts. Do you remember Xixi? She just came back from Paris. Let’s find a time to have dinner together. What do you think?” Mother’s tone was much gentler than Father’s.
“Mom, I don’t have much time lately. Let’s talk about it when I have the chance.”
“Hmph!” Jin Zhongshu snorted again, causing the more than ten people at the table to immediately put down their chopsticks, no one daring to move. “Jin Chengyan, if you continue to associate with that Xizi, don’t ever set foot in the Jin Family’s door again!”
With that, Jin Zhongshu stood up and left.
The table fell silent.
Jin Chengyan sighed softly and said to his mother, “Mom, maybe I shouldn’t come back for dinner next time so you won’t be unhappy.”
Yu Xin shook her head slightly. “You really!”
“I won’t be in touch with Ruan Shengyu anymore. Yan San is back.” With those words, Yu Xin’s brows relaxed.
