PDLP Chapter 24 I said it's rough, don't mind.
Chapter 24 I said it's rough, don't mind.
The finger that was hooked around Qi Yu seemed to no longer belong to her.
It feels like so much time has passed.
His hoarse voice revealed a forced restraint, which allowed him to appear calm.
"Hmm... I guess so."
"Really?" Song Nanxi blinked mischievously. "Then can I touch it?"
Her hand gestured as if to reach for Qi Yu's abs—
Qi Yu reacted instantly and quickly grabbed her hand.
Her ear tips were so red they looked like they were about to bleed. "Not here."
"Pfft!" Song Nanxi thought Qi Yu was just too naive; this only made her want to tease him more. "Hmm? Touching his abs isn't allowed, but holding hands is?"
Song Nanxi's eyes shone with light, her smile radiant.
Her wrist was still held in Qi Yu's hand, but her fingers were not behaving themselves and quickly poked Qi Yu's abs.
When the fingertips touched the hard muscles, the other person's body visibly trembled.
Qi Yu pursed her lips, looking at Song Nanxi with a troubled expression.
Her personality is absolutely awful!
"Stop playing around..." He turned his face away, quickly let go of Song Nanxi's hand, got out of the car, walked to the passenger side, and opened the door. "We're here."
The mask was still hanging on Song Nanxi's ear, only on one side.
Song Nanxi pointed to her face and teased, "Why did you give up halfway? You didn't even put your mask on properly—"
After finishing speaking, he waited patiently for Qi Yu's actions.
Qi Yu's lips moved, and he really wanted to tell Song Nanxi to do it herself, but he felt that if he said that, Song Nanxi might have another trick up her sleeve.
Forget it...
He bent down and quickly helped Song Nanxi put her mask on.
Is it okay now?
"Hmm, it should be okay."
Song Nanxi laughed so hard her shoulders shook. Qi Yu was probably a first-time bodyguard; he likely didn't know that bodyguards weren't required to hold hands with their employers or help them put on masks.
As soon as she got out of the car, Qi Yu's entire demeanor changed. Her eyes were cold and sharp as she stood guard beside Song Nanxi, watching out for every passerby.
Oh, so you have two faces?
Song Nanxi raised an eyebrow. To be honest, it's kind of captivating.
Chi Hao came to pick up Song Nanxi, and his expression seemed a little strange.
Even when someone else was by her side, she lost all interest in gossip.
"What's wrong?" Song Nanxi asked, seeing his expression of being on high alert.
Chi Hao scratched his face. "Why did you suddenly come to the hospital? To see Brother Ye?" He sighed. "But there are people in the ward right now, so you may have to wait a while."
Song Nanxi understood. "If it's inconvenient, we can talk about it another day. By the way, give this to him; it should help alleviate his insomnia a little."
She took a bag from Qi Yu and tossed it into Chi Hao's arms.
Although they came up empty-handed, there was nothing to regret. After saying this, Song Nanxi planned to leave with Qi Yu.
"Oh no, wait!" Chi Hao had finally waited for someone, and it was Song Nanxi. He was a little reluctant to let her leave, so he quickly grabbed her. "If you're not busy, why don't you wait a bit? That person won't stay long. He'll probably be driven away by Brother Ye soon."
Tsk.
Song Nanxi became interested. "Wow, I really want to see this."
Chi Hao grinned, "There's a chance, there's a chance."
We're all in the same circle, it's only a matter of time!
They were standing downstairs, not far from the elevator.
Just as I finished speaking, there was a "ding" sound and the elevator doors opened.
A beautiful woman dressed elegantly and gracefully stepped out of the elevator. She had fair skin and a slender figure, but only upon closer inspection could one see the signs of age on her face.
The woman saw Chi Hao and Song Nanxi, smiled, and said softly, "Chi Hao, so you came down to pick someone up. And this is—" She tucked a stray hair behind her ear, her eyes sparkling, "She looks familiar, like I've seen her somewhere before. I didn't expect her to be Mu Ye's friend."
She called him affectionately, but her eyes held a scrutinizing look. "I've always thought Mu Ye was too withdrawn. I'm really happy for him that he can make friends with all of you!"
Chi Hao cursed under his breath and whispered in Song Nanxi's ear, "Brother Ye's stepmother."
Oh!
Song Nanxi immediately understood: the relationship was not good.
Actually, after she came back, she had heard some gossip about wealthy families.
Facing Jiang Muye's stepmother, Chi Hao could only manage a superficial politeness. After all, she was now the real Mrs. Jiang. The Jiang and Chi families were old friends and had many cooperative relationships. Unlike Jiang Muye, he couldn't openly express his dissatisfaction with women. Otherwise, if this woman whispered in his ear, Chi Hao's legs would be broken by his parents.
He forced a smile, saying awkwardly, "Yes, this is my friend Song Nanxi. She just stopped by to see Brother Ye. Aunt He, you've only been here a few minutes, are you already planning to leave? Won't you stay a little longer?"
He Shiyu sighed upon hearing this, "Mu Ye's personality... never mind, I know he doesn't want to see me."
Chi Hao almost rolled his eyes.
“I think Jiang Mu has a pretty good personality. Ma’am, do you have some misunderstanding about Jiang Mu?” Song Nanxi suddenly spoke up. “Let’s resolve any conflicts on the spot. We can’t let them affect the relationship between you and your son! If outsiders hear about it, they might say that Jiang Mu is very unfilial!”
This...this—
Chi Hao choked on his own saliva and stared wide-eyed at Song Nanxi.
Mother-son relationship? If Ye Ge heard that, he'd go crazy!
Song Nanxi's address of "Auntie" made He Shiyu's expression stiffen.
But seeing her sincere expression, He Shiyu thought of her identity, twitched her lips, and thought, "Forget it, why should I argue with a girl from the countryside!"
"Auntie, let us go with you to resolve your misunderstanding with Jiang Mu! Don't worry, if Jiang Mu has offended you in any way, I will definitely make him apologize to you!" Song Nanxi clenched her fist, as if she had already stood on He Shiyu's side and was indignant on her behalf.
Chi Hao's vision blurred. "Wait, Song Nanxi—"
Song Nanxi glanced at him, telling him to shut up.
She sighed deeply and said sincerely, "Aunt He, as you know, I didn't grow up with my parents and have never experienced maternal love in my life. After I came back, I heard that although you are Jiang Muye's stepmother, you treat him very well. Alas, it's a pity that Jiang Muye is too rebellious. How could he be like this!"
"Yes, yes!" He Shiyu didn't know whether to call Song Nanxi stupid or naive. Her face was beaming with joy as she sincerely grabbed Song Nanxi's hand. "Everyone says being a stepmother is hard, and it's so kind of you to understand me at such a young age! I'm so touched!"
Song Nanxi grinned and gripped He Shiyu's hand tightly with his backhand.
"Hiss..." He Shiyu's face twisted in pain. "Nanxi, your strength... is quite something."
"Right! I learned all this from training in the mountains! I'm incredibly strong, I once killed a pig with my bare hands! After killing it, I just dragged it home like this!" Song Nanxi grabbed He Shiyu and pressed the elevator button, then quickly explained, "Of course, I'm not calling you a pig, I'm just showing you how to drag a pig. That pig was so white, oh, as white as you, Aunt He."
"By the way, I didn't mean to insult you, I just speak roughly, please don't mind."
