Chapter 133: Chapter 133: I Didn’t Want This Either, But She Calls Me Baby Chapter 133: Chapter 133: I Didn’t Want This Either, But She Calls Me Baby Lu Qingyan walked over to the dining table, where a servant had laid out breakfast. He picked up a sandwich and noticed Jiang Nanshu still standing by, asking, “Have you had breakfast yet?”
“No, I’ve been waiting to have breakfast with you, so I’ve been hungry all this time.”
[I already ate. Would I wait for you if I didn’t eat?]
Lu Qingyan: “…”
Jiang Nanshu walked over to Lu Qingyan’s side, slightly shy, “Can I sit here? I don’t think I’ve ever had breakfast with you before, today could be set as an important milestone in my life.”
Lu Qingyan: “…”
Jiang Nanshu kept an eye on Lu Qingyan’s expression, seeing a moment where he looked as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly, she was in a great mood.
[So you hate being fawned over, huh? I’ve found your weakness. Not into groveling love, or the hysterical kind, but you like this style, how saucy.]
Lu Qingyan took a deep breath, “You don’t have to do this, I thought you were quite good when you were slapping me the day before yesterday…”
Jiang Nanshu: “…”
[Are you sick in the head? Are you seriously ill?! Are you settling scores with me after the autumn harvest? You’re quite vindictive, holding onto it this long!]
Jiang Nanshu bit her lip, looking aggrieved, “I’m sorry, I was too willful. It wasn’t intentional to hit someone physically, can you not hate me? If you hate me, I’ll just… I’ll just, sob sob sob…”
[I’ll just set off fireworks to celebrate, hehe.]
Lu Qingyan just quietly watched her act, “Huh, what will you do? Threaten to commit suicide again?”
[That’s a good idea, the moment you reject me, I’ll go do it, that’ll nauseate you.]
Of course, she couldn’t let her true thoughts show on her face, she quickly explained, “I would never do something so childish again…”
Then she looked at him shyly, twisting a lock of hair by her ear, “Actually… I know, you like me too, don’t you? That day I said I wouldn’t contact you, those were all angry words. How could I bear to abandon you? You’ve already rejected Su Ran for me, I’ll definitely not disappoint your affection.”
Who could have imagined that all of Jiang Nanshu’s sweet nothings were disingenuous?
Even her deeply affectionate manner was put on.
If Lu Qingyan didn’t know her true psychological thoughts, he might have continued to dislike her.
He dismissed the peculiar feeling in his heart when Jiang Nanshu said she liked him.
He absolutely couldn’t fall for it.
A slight, cold smile curved on his lips, “You’re overthinking it, the relationship between the Lu and Jiang families has to be maintained on the surface, otherwise rumors of discord between the two families will start spreading.”
[What the heck? Pretending? And here I was wondering if you were falling for me, almost had me worried, thinking there was something wrong with my plan. You really render me speechless, kid.]
Jiang Nanshu’s face fell, “It seems I can’t escape the fate of breaking off the engagement, this stolen happiness must eventually be returned.”
Shang Xu couldn’t hold back any longer, rushing over to Jiang Nanshu to pledge his loyalty, “Sister Nanshu, break off the engagement with my little uncle, and I’ll marry you, swear to god, no lies.”
“…”
[What kind of mess are you stirring up now?!]
Yet Jiang Nanshu still held Shang Xu tightly, “Alright, sweetheart, I’ll wait for you.”
Shang Xu’s face turned red with blush.
Until Jiang Nanshu left.
He hadn’t snapped out of it yet.
Lu Qingyan wiped his mouth gracefully with a napkin, glancing at him, “Childish babble, you should ask your mother if she agrees first.”
Shang Xu with his starry eyes, pretended not to hear, propping his chubby little hands under his chin, “Little Uncle, I didn’t want this either, but she called me sweetheart.”
Lu Qingyan: “…”
This little love-brained kid, how could he be so easily charmed by Jiang Nanshu.
…
The luxury car parked at the Jing University gate.
Jiang Nanshu got out of the car. Having been away for two days, she still quite missed the days at home, when happiness was as simple as eating melons.
Yesterday, the old man was banished to sleep in the study.
He even asked her to speak to Mrs. Jiang on his behalf, to make it clear he had no interest in Chu Xin.
That was absolutely not going to happen.
Jiang Nanshu declined.
She also wondered why these malicious supporting characters seemed to have had a collective drop in IQ. Chu Xin couldn’t even hide her intentions and got caught by Mrs. Jiang. Jiang Nanshu hoped she could figure out her own way to deal with it.
Jiang Nanshu went straight to the classroom for her lessons. This time, she was punctual and didn’t arrive late.
When Xu Xi saw her, she hurriedly wiped the seat next to her clean, “Jiangjiang, come quick, I’ve cleaned the spot for you.”
Jiang Nanshu didn’t stand on ceremony and sat right down.
She looked around and asked, “Where’s Xu Xingwan?”
Xu Xi shook her head and frowned, “I don’t know. She said she was going home for a bit, and then she didn’t come back all weekend. I haven’t been able to contact her either. Could she have been… locked up by her foster brother again?”
Jiang Nanshu thought about it. The story between Xu Xingwan and Bao Yan…
It’s the tale of a business magnate and his canary.
Not much has been said about it, but it’s fairly dramatic.
“Ugh, what’s the use of worrying so much? Better to consider what to eat for lunch today.” Jiang Nanshu was already thinking about what to have for lunch; she had to secure a spot five minutes in advance!
It gets so crowded at that time!
Xu Xi: “…”
True enough…
Xu Xingwan wouldn’t be in any danger, she could completely avoid going if she didn’t want to. But she went anyway, probably with her own reasons in mind.
The whole classroom was waiting for the teacher.
And then another person arrived instead.
The teacher for that class entered pushing a wheelchair, her face full of pity, “Classmate Chen Qian was abused by her father. She’s been in the hospital getting treated for almost two weeks. Her body has recovered somewhat, and she has returned to school with some physical impairments. Everyone, please be more accommodating.”
Jiang Nanshu looked up and saw Chen Qian’s gaze fixed on her like venom, as if to say she has returned for revenge.
Jiang Nanshu blinked and suddenly cracked a smile, her beautiful face beaming, the teardrop mole at the corner of her eye incredibly bright—what a surprise.
She actually dared to come back to school.
Was life too boring for her that she came looking for trouble?
Jiang Nanshu’s red lips moved silently, mouthing a few words to Chen Qian, “Welcome back, my toy.”
The resentment in Chen Qian’s eyes was replaced by terror.
Her hands gripping the armrests of the wheelchair were trembling.
Hu Ying, seeing that Chen Qian kept staring at Jiang Nanshu, chirped with a spin of her eyes, “Teacher, before Chen Qian’s incident, she was closest to Jiang Nanshu. Let her sit next to Jiang Nanshu, that way, she’ll have someone to look after her. What do you think, Chen Qian?”
Before Chen Qian could respond, Jiang Nanshu propped her chin with one hand and smiled, “I have no objections, Qianqian. I’ve missed you so much these days when you were gone. Come sit by me.”
Chen Qian quickly looked down.
She hated Jiang Nanshu to the core.
If it hadn’t been for her schemes… how would she have ended up being beaten like this by Mr. Chen?
Even though Mr. Chen ended up in jail because of it, it did nothing to quell her raging anger.
Every midnight when the pain woke her from her sleep, she would bite down on her arm until it bled profusely. Self-harm provided her with the relief to soothe her restlessness, as if feasting on Jiang Nanshu’s flesh and blood.
Such an evil person deserves to go to hell.
Jiang Nanshu ought to die.
